That a man who lies is & liar admits of no doobt; bat the time was cot far distant when it iraa considered advisable to give expression to the fact, when ap plied directly to tbc individual, with something of prudent en phetuUm in the choice of tbc particular choice of words chosen for the occasion. Many delicate methods of getting around the difficulty have suggested them selves to ingenlus and inventive minds. A man suspected of un truthfulness has been character lied a one who says more than bis prayers," whose word ia not exactly gwpel troth ; whose "methods or stating a fact are sot in logical harmony with the tnctest demands of veracity whoee 'practical sympathy with the leading characteristics of AnnanlaV views of troth is un questioned," and so on. Bat we have entered upon an era in which thefc polite methods de scribing mendacity are deemed weak, on sal it factory and super fluously pohte. Hence the word liar" has come into gene ral uatt and is bandied from one end of the line to the other, and with a frequency that promises to deprive it of the emphasis it has hitherto, enjoyed by making it too cerumen.

July ZX Tho National ilegs are at half mst over nil the Government Office in honor of Ex-President Grant decease'. The DpTf mcnts were closed on Thursday noon out of respect for th il lustrious dead, and on the day of his interment they will be closed again. If, as is expected, he will bo buried at Arlington or Soldiers' Ilomc, there will he the grandest faneral pageant ever 6en in Washington. , The Pre.si.leat and his Cabinet will attend bis funeral, acd Mr. Blaine, though he and General Grant were not friends, will be at the grave where all enmities are buried. The remains will probably He m ntate in tb ro tunda of the Capitol, where they will te viewed by thousands who were iaml: r with his face in life. General Grant's death was generally known in this city be fore nine o'clock on Tuuraday morning. The President was among the first to receive the sad intelligence lie was siting In bis library perusing the morn, lug papers when an alarm wus pounded on the executive telo phone. Col. Lamont, who at that moment arrived athlsdefck, answered the call, which came from the office of the Western Union Telegraph Company. The news that Geo. Grant had died was immediately -conveyed - to the President. IIo appeared deeply moved and expressed his unbounded sjmpathy for ! the General' 8 family. "A few minuies later the President received a cispatch from Col. Fred Grant, stating that his father bad died at eight o'clock. The President thereupon sent a difpatch of condolence, which was transmit ted to Mrs. Grant. By nine o'clock nearly all the daily newspapers had issued ex trap, and the church bells throughout the city were tolling. Flags upon the White House and all the publio buildings and many private establishments wero displayed at half mast. A messenger was detailed to no tify all the Cabinet oflicers that a special meeting ot the Cabinet would be held at eleven o'clock to take actions in regard to Gen. Grant's death. When aU were assembled around tho cabinet table the President formally announced the death of General Grant ami lead a copy of his dispatch to Mrs. Grant. A proclamatiou which had pre viously been prepared at the State department was submitted, approved and immediately after ward issued. At dawn of day thirteen guns will be fired, and afterward, at intervals of thirty minutes be tween the rieing and petting of the sun, n single gun, sud at the doieof the day a ualioualsalato of thirtyeight guns. The officers of tbc army will wear crape on the left arm and on their swords, and the colors of the battalion of engineers ot tho several regiments of tht United States corps of cadets will be put in morning for the period of six months. It was the universal opinion that the Interment ought to take place here. Soldiers' Home acd the Arlington Cemetry have been suggested as appropriate places fr his final rrs'ing p!ace. Co'.

Transplant her in the dark places of the earth, call forth her energies to action, and ber breath becomes a bealing,her presence a blessing. She disputes inch by inch the ttrides ot a stalking pestilence, when mar, the strong and brave, palo and affrighted, shrinks away. Misfortune hurts her not; she wears away a life in silent endurance, and goes forth with less timidity than to her bridal. In prosperity she is a bud full ot odors, waiting but for the winds of adversity to scatter them abroad gold, valuable, but un tried in the furnace. In short, woman is a miracle, a mystery, the centre from which radiates the charm of existence. Wilson Jlirror. Some time sitfte early one morning Mrs. Henry Pierce saw one of her hens fluttering on the gronnd and equalling. She went out and picked her up remarked that the heu wa? broken in pieces, dropped her and again picked her up. She then discovered that a weasel had bold of her. She caught the weasel by the ceck aud attempted to choke it to death but coa'd nor. She held it until help came-and the weasel was killed. Franklinton Weekly.

You cannot walk into a midnight where she cannot see you ; you cannot enter a prison whoso bars will keep her ont; you cannot mount a scaffold tot high for her to reach, that she mav kiss and bless you iu evi deuce of her deathless love. When the wor'd shall dpspite and forsake yon, when it leaves you to die by the wayside un ncticed tho dear old mother will gatheryju in her feeble arms aria carry yon home and tell of all voir virtues until you almost forget that your soul is dif figur ed by vices.
