Liars and Lying.
ICL.I-A WHEELER BAYS LIARS ARE MORE OFTEN BORN THA MADE. iS lis® FashumaiAe Lie* that do not Oottnl—Some
Different Type* of Li^tr*—Lying Like the Opium Habit— Women with whom Lying a Disease—Portrait* of People that Many will Recognize— When Silence, is Akin to Lying—Liar* more Frequently Bom than Made—" White Lies" thai are Excused by Society and the World, lug Special corre«pondeneeof the Mall. "Let him who is without sin cast the flint atone/'
We are all liars to a greater or less degree, but that lamentable fact does not lessen the enormity of the crime.^p^
I once saw a charming lady, in the presence of aevoral guests whom she had been delightfully entertaining, take a card frotn her servant's iuand, scan it with a alight frown, and return it, saying, "Tell the gentleman I have gone to bed with a violent headache." The servant bowed and conveyed the message—thutf increasing the number of liars by two.
Fashionable ilea of this kind, are not auppoaed to count in the catalogue of Kin*, but it deems to me they are like parasite!* which destroy the delicate leaves of a plant after a time. They injure and blunt the liner perceptions of right and wrong.
A gentleman laid a wager with a lady the other evening that she could not live through the following day without lying, unless sho hurt the feelings of some of her friends by seeming rudeness.
She lost the wager, declaring that she found polite lies absolutely necessary as he had said. I do not believe them necessary, however, and I am confident we would win and retain more friends in tho long run If we built our daily lives on a foundation of absolute truthfulness
The
moment I detect man or womau In a lie, however trivial, my interest and respect Is lessened, and I am sure other people are influenced In the same way.
The rnomont my own lips have uttered a polito lie I feel a decided lessening of regard for myself, and am conscious that silence or tact could have saved me from tho foolish error.
Tho liar who possesses good memory may make a success of his profession for years without detection. It is seldom, howevor, that the art of lying and the •rt of remembering are combined in one person.
I remember ft Woman in my own profession, who told me In our first Interview thatahe had received $75 for ii short article whTeh had recently appeared. On our second meeting she spoke of khemaster again, and said sho rooeived $T0 for it. A few days later I heard her mention it to a third party as having brought her $25. I learned afterwards that she was paid #15 for the article. Had she recollected her first statement 1 might nover have doubted her word.
Lying 1* l'ke

known people who began to toll
uwhlte
lies" for convenlonce, and ended by becoming the most absolute and shameless of liars on ovory occasion.
In MO me cases lying Is a/iis^E,, LUID should be treated as such.

I know two ladles who are otherwiso excellent In character, and both aw valuable mombors In society. Ono is a devout chureh-momber in high standing, and roiomost In all good works or charity.
Both these ladies seem physically and morally unable to tell the truth. When tho truthjwould bettor servo their purPOHO, they choose a lie. They harm no one but thomselves, as their lies are never malicious, and refer usually to their own affairs.
these ladles is fond qf .toljlng
the most marvellous stories ot herself and her
friends,
their remarkable ad ven
tures, their extensive wealth, their wide travels, their intimate acquaintance with renowned people. If you repeat these fairy stories after her you cover yourself with humiliation, as they are almost entirely fabrications of her brain. If you disprove her statements to her face she looks you in the eyes, and smiles, and emphatically declares you misunderstood her words. Her conversation is sparkling and bright, and you are amused and entertained highly, until you discover ber gift tor Improvising.
The other lady'a talent runs more in a mervanMte channel. She makes a purchase in your presence for which she pays *10. Let a third person enter the room, and she declare# smilingly that aitjft has just paid $20 for the article. If
correct her aba insists that you are n^taken. Her doctor's and dentist's bill*, h«r servant* wages, the price of her bonneta and boots*, are alt subjects of exaggerated statement*. She has, like the majority
o(
mpniory l,k®
stove, and consequently contradict* herself a doxen times in as many hours, llcr friends all acknowledge her unfortunate peculiarity, but she is *& kindhearted, and po«M**w so many other admirable trails, that aha la tolerated in spite of her Ilea.
Ii w-e*ua to ml both of these ladies need U»«*rious attention of aojnjs .Specialist on disease of the brain.
I have heard an opinion expresaed than womou are ieaa frank and truthful than men. It this la true, it I* doe tottMttrj education. Woman are taught In eon-1 ceal and man to reveal their tr»e natures from the cradle up. Woman are taught that the world expects tham to be statuee of decorum, and that It la tnerdlees to the one who by word, atmoaphere, or act In
dicate that she would step down from her pedestal. M»n |s taught that he la a human being of varied paasions, liable to fall in error, which the world quickly forgeta and forgives. He telle the truth about his nature and his temptationa, and the world liatena, sympathises and admlree.
Woe nnto the woman wuo, ao matter how free from sin, confesses to her beat friends that she has ever in thought, even, been stirred from her role of absolute decorum. She ia forever more branded "doubtful." Consequently she hidea from the world, and, if necessary, lies to conceal her real human self from detection. I have heard the objection offered that if we all apeak absolute truth we must apeak ill of many people. I do not believe it. There ia no human being ao depraved that good cannot be spoken of him. It would be an Interesting experience if we should all experiment for an entire month in finding the excellent quality to mention in eaeh person we meet, and keeping silence concerning hie or her fault*.
Silence, however, is often made to serve as the helpless handmaid'of liars. I can imagine no more despicable lie than the one conveyed by silence when speech ia needed to defend the reputation of some victim of malice or envy. Many a name has been shadowed by the significant silent lie of one who should have spoken the word of defence. Iam afraid thia ia a phaso of falsehood inore feminine than masculine*
Liars, like poets are more frequently born than made, but certain methods of education can increase or cure the malady. It is said that several of our great novelists were terrible liars in childhood. Their vivid imaginations portrayed events and scenes which they related as actual occurences. Utilized ln^ fiction their inborn propenaity to exaggerate common events became valuable to lovers of exciting fiction.
A child should be taught to consider a slight prevarication as a departure from morality, and strict, truthfulness of speech, even in trivial matters, as one of the highest virtues.
However lightly we may speek of telling 'white lies,' we all feel an instinctive respect for a man or woman who has won a reputation for sincere truthfulness, and we have but to build our own lives on the same foundation to be regarded in the same light.

NAYLOR'S OPERA-HOUSE.
Gorman's spectaoular minstrels will be the Christmas attraction at Naylor's on Monday. Two performances wi.'l be given. A grand Christmas matinee will be given at 2:30, the usual evening performance at 8. The Gorman's spectacular minstrels aro credited with presenting an entertainment that for newness, novelty and refinement surpasses everything over seen in minstrelsy. The first part setting Is very, elaborate the tranar formatlon scene used in this part is a decided novelty in itself. The olio is brim ulof bright and entertaining special ties, while the afterpiece is the most gorgeous ever ottered to tho amusement public, it is replete with new and original music and catchy costumos and many novelties that have heretofore been foreign to tbe minstrel stage. Seats for both matinee and evening performance can be secured at Button's. Prices the same for both performances.
Rice's beautiful "Evangeline" will be presented at the Opera House on Tuesday with somo favorite features of the past and with beautiful costume* and scenery. This, the most successful extravaganxa of tho«ge, has just closed an engagement in Now Orleans, where the houses have been crowded at every performance. Tho play fs full of oddities. Where else can you find so original a character as that of tbe Lone Fisherman, with hit fish-pole, umbrella and camp itool, who appears in every scene, yet never speaks nor is noticed by any of the otheT characters, and is tho only comedian wo know of who provokes shouts of laughter without using his voice. "The Dancing Heifer is another feature different from anything ever seen before until introduced in "Evangeline." The company is one of unusual strength, embracing George Fortesque, considered tho finest female peraonator on the stage, and a host of pretty girls.
For three nights, commencing next Thursday, with a Saturday matinee, "The Nighty Owls," a novelty and burlesquo company, will run the opera house stage. An exchange tells us that "The lady arttaW^Bl&Mbeingack now 1odged the handsomest women in the world, are undoubtedly the most gifted performers on the vaudeville stage, and include that merry, accomplished and bewitching queen of burlesque, Miss I.oulse Detnpsey, whose last appearance proved an unqualified success.

When Morgan raided Ohio, in 3808 John Shon a field, a farmer, burled on his place, near Youngstown, #3,000 in gold and silver coin. After the war the family never had any need for the monay, and the treasure was left undisturbed. Mrs. Shenafleld died first, and a week ago Farmer Shenafield himself died with out revealing the secret as to the place where the pot waa buried. But the son went out on Saturday, and in a little while found the treasure in tho founda tion of an old building.
A Millers town (O.) young man not long since wrote two postal cards on entirely different subjects. He then turned them over and addressed them, but by mistake placed the addresses on the wrong cards. The result was that the shirt-maker, in Harrisbutg, got a polite invitation to take a carriage ride in a barouche, while the young man's girl was made frantic by receiving the following: "Please send me a sample of the stuff your shirts are made of."

OLD-FASHIONED PROPRIETY. $ [American Magazine.] tfceee «^ttv balls" were conducted With greet^pftferln£jr and reserve. Tbe ilaim of evety mimV 10th sexes to beHdmitted previously dete^mined by the responsible and trustworthy committee, there waa a sort of temporary and conventional equality on the terpsichorean floor and therefore every gentleman had the privilege to in vitealady, without the formality of an introduction, to figure in the dance as his partner. Afterlt waa over he escorted ner back respectfully to her seat, without presuming, if unknown and not duly presented, to remain standing before her, or to sit by her side, to continue the conversation or prolong the accidental acquaintance. During the intervals of dancing, the gentlemen walked up and down bo.tween the rows of ladies that densely lined the hall, some merely bowing, to those whom they knew, and others stopping to oouverse. No woman, married or single, joined in this promenading with a male companion as is the enstom in these present days, and tho eye of a lynx could, not have detected the slightest flirtation. The word itself was not known, for the thing it m^ans is for Louisiana a modern invention which bnd not been patented and brongbt out for public use. In fact, this peculiar pastime would have been impossible to attempt it would have, produced a social earthquake.

The Gambling Question.
Whether the polioecommissioners told Lawlor and Vanderver to shut one or both eyes on the public gambling has nothing to do with the fact that A. H.

Tbe science of surgery ha* made «ucb wonderful progress in modern times, that tbe most intricate and delicate operations are now undertaken and carried to a successful issue. There are now several well authenticated cases of what is known aa nuenmotony, that Is to nay, the removal of diseased portions of the lungs In cases of consumption. While, however, this delicate operation has sometimes been successfully performed the risks attending it are so great, and the chances of recovery so slight, that it ia seldom resorted to. Tbe safest plan in consumptive cases is to use Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. This will always cure the disease In its earlier stages, thoroughly arresting tbe ravages of the terrible malady, by removing its cause and healing the lungs.
