"*T -II Falsehood is one of the commonest evils in haman nature and one which vonld reqaure an article of great length to fully explain, first it is a weekness inhuman character and no person haying a reascnahle amont of honor irould for the lite of him be found guilty of intentional falsehooiJ. The meekness of character which is common to the false is due partly to the edu- cation in early life or which is termed their brinRinR up and partly due to weak mind from nature which in some cases is almost impossible to tide oyer the habit /)f falsehood' by the most carefal edncatioo. Falsehood is more common among children than adults owing to honor increasing with a?e which makes the majority ashamed of the habit and are redeemed, but a few of the weekest are so regardless of honor as to grow in the habit until it becomes a disease and.they are scarce- ly aware of the fact that every utterance of their lips is partial or entirely iaiae. One of the strongest proofs of the weekness of character of the false is they will tell of big things they have -done, big things they have seen, big f ossesEiuns and great relatives, c., and appear never to detect that their listeners do not believe a word they say Liars are nut as dangerous as some people suppose simply because people easily detect them, eyen a stran- ger gives signs sufScient to detect his ialsehoud m eyery few words. Con- sequently the wise nover carry their tales if they be laiden with dangerous material and people of fair judgement are seldom deceived by them to any extent. The habit does themselvss more harm than anybody else. It is as impossible for la false person to be- come an honorable iod uaeiol member of soeifltj M to swim across the Atiaatio Oeesn.
