Over against every truth of God, ftar.ds n
two-fold lie of Satan—a mocking lie, that as
sails the truth to overthrow it—a fawning
lie, that professes the tru'h to wrest and per
vert it. Justas the artfi-Ohiist of Scripture
is now, one. that sets himself in hostility to
our Lord —His opponent; and now, one that
thrusts liimstlf into the place r s our Loid—
HU supplar.ter. In like manner, for every
truth there is a lie that blaspheme- 1 , and a lie
that (falsely) worships; the former, throwing
off allegiance to the truth, and fighting
agtinei it, and seeking to crush it cut; the
latter, clothing itself ill the garments ot the
truth, asking to he accepted as its substitute,
and striving after the tealty due to it.
No truth of God is known to us in its ful
ness, until wc know, as well, the two (oldness
of the He that stands over against it—the lie
that eounterwoi-J-*, and the lie that conntci
ftiti It. Unless both arr distinctly tecog
niated, the rteoil from the one may bear us
over to the other, trampling the tiutli in the
dost —the mire, perchance. We fly from ti e
He of opposition, and fall into the lie of imi
tation ; or, shrinking from the lie of imita
tion, our feet take no pause and are entan
gled in the lie of opposition. To see the
truth, then, in its contrariety alike to the one
and the other— that alone is to have an in
telligent view of it, and to be secure, on tiie
right band against the assaults of the mock
ing, and on the left against the seductions ol
the fawning lie.— South li 'ext Baptist.

S rnetimes a boy if line epner uniti s
tries to and ciivc bis teacher. With j
a pompous air lie goes through ihc man-j

dantic effrontery he reads the composi-j
liju if another. liis sister follows his;
• sample if she lias not already acquired

guesses more, runs tbe gauutlet of a
quick recitation, and, rt turning home

unlucky card in this game? What ex
cuse will they offer when they enter the
stage of pets nal responsibility ? II jw
their chicks will burn withs Laue when
time btir.gs their ignorance to light !
Could they see the futnre, as they will
no day see the past, they would act dis.
f rer.tly II id tlcy pow rto anticipate
the charge, the bite of disappointment,
the sting of mortification, no tcachej’s
rebuke nor parent’s tear, wi uld be nee lid
to inspire t ff rt. But t b ivious to the.
claims of society and tbo rewards of iu-j
liistry, the acme of their ambition in
many cases is to fly a Lite, spin a top, 1

So the man who is guilty of crime

of sectional hate have b cn hi 1 ding of

George Francis Train a-serfs that
thie book entitled ‘i’ri ori Life of Jes
forsori Davis,” and purporting to be
the work ol Dr Graver, was written
in nine days by the lato Gen 0. G
11 alpine.
The above paragraph is going the
rounds of the press, us an item ol
strange news.
I. T * io book, our renders will remem
ber, came out in New York soon alter
the n !eu-e of Mr Davis on bail from
his imprisonment at Fortress Monroe
jt was the sonsati* nos the day, an I
excited deep interest for the famous
pr soner wh< se story of life it assum and
to give While it stirred the hearts
ot the Southern people, of whose lost
cause ho was the official head, it
awakened the cuiiosity, removed t’ e
prejudices and enlisted the sympathies
if Northern tn nin behalf of one 1 al
ien from high estate, a weary feeble
eaptivo, who yet challenged admirn
'in for equinim ty of h s bearing and
the vcCi mplishment of his min i,
j Our tea lets wid be astonished to
I learn that the averment of Mr. Train
iis true, and that t is popular took,
over which so much of feelings, of in
dignat’on, pity, interest and admira
tion, has been expended, is a work ot
|imagination—a navel woven on s’en-
Idt r threads of facts.
| Soon after the admission if Mr.
Davis to bail, Crav<n, tte surgeon of
the post, went to New York, where
be met his quondam messmate of the
some -tafb Den. Hal[ itie. This literary
friend congratulated him forthwith on
this opportunity hr bad to immortalize
himself in print and at the same time
make mm) y by a book on Jeff Davis.
The idea seemed now to Mr. Graven
and be said it was imp racticablo Hal
' [tine rsked him where was bis notes.
He repii and, lie bad none and could not
'do it. Then said llalpine give me
whatever materials you have and I
will write your name aud we will share
: the prufi s. This was agreed io.
Graven furnished three letters of
Mrs. Davis to bun anil some notes
w ritten ' n tbo margin of a Herald by
Mr. D vis, touching the punts he de
sued Beverdy Johnson to make in de
fending him for treason. This was
all the authentic matter supplied.
At tbe request of (it n. IL.lpine, Cra
veil also made out a list of officers of
tiie [tost, and the r days for going on
duty and other little details of the post
and garrison and Mr. Davis.
llalpine then called to see several
Confederates in N w York and among
others Gen Dick lay or. He Dumped
them as to Mr Davis, lus views and
opinions in pub ie. matters; also it: re
gard to lea ing Southern men, ami Mr
. Davis’ relations and feu.ings towards
' them. &c.
j A I’hiladelpbia publishing house notv
| advertised that it was soon to put forth
Ia life of Davis; and llalpino saw the
j importance of anticipating this publi
cation by his book it was arranged
in New York to get it out immediate

plished mind.
The book was of great service to
Mr. Davis; ard Gen. Hnlpine’s share
of the profits was seven thousand dol

in tbe above company for the ben (it of
his will lu tbe foil iwing January be
i died, and tbo company declined paying
j tbe pohey, cor the ground that the in
sured dud with disease of tbe heart.
The action wee commenced in Keno

fendant, on tbe ground that a fair trial
could no be had at this ci unly on ac
count of pnjudicc. 'J he Judge removed
it to Milwaukee county, where the trial
was concluded last week.
The following is a sum rv account of
the trial: The plaintiff sh: wed iu evi
dence that her husband was iusurtd in
Slid company tor tbe sum of SoOOO ;
that at tbe time the examination tuuk
[Lee of the insured, it was well known
to the agent tfcat the insured had the
heart ands ase ; that no person who evtr
saw Mr. 11., but knew be was diseased,
but he uot only panted for breath iu or j
diuary conversation, but there was a
large [remiuenoe o\cr tbe region ot the
heart showing its enlargement. It was
further shown that a few days before
his death, Mr. 11 met with a serious
accident at Mr. Brown’s store, in this
city, by an accidental fall in the cellar.
It war then shown by medical men,
suriaiued by medical authority, that)
this fall, although not the prime cause
of the dtath of Mr. 11., yet it hastened
it and directly coutiibuting to that re
sult.
It war further shown in evidence that
the health of the insured had been bet
ter for tbe lust ew months of bis life
than it had bet n for several years pre
vious; and, iuferentially, he might have
livid several years had he not met with
this accident Ore physician swore
that be had known of cases where per
s us who were affl eted with the heart
disease lived until they were past seven
ty years of age.
