If the interests of the narrator are fittlo concerned fancy adds a coloring, that she thinks: important to interest the hemer. If he conceives himself injured, passion colors it, to justify her resentment. Under this clinrneter of fulschood and malice, may be ranged a great part of those dark, designing slanders, which are propagated by insinuation. Nothing perhaps is said, that can bo charged as a direct violation of the truth, but every thing is suggested to the im- agination, and the intentional deception is a real intraction of the laws of eandbr and sincerity.. \The standoror hopes that every doublful expres- sion will be interprated in its worst meaning, that every suppressed clreumstance will be exaggera- ted, and, that an awakened imagination will com- plete what he affects to conceal, Phere is a com- mon proverb, continually in the mouths of. those who aro, most guilty, that truth is no slander -and with this saying, they pretend to justify the most eruc} attacks on character, 'This prov- erb is false ; and ifit were not sojit is insufficient to justify remarks, and histories, which are seldom gupported .by entire truth, Truth may often be- roomo-tha-mast..affensive slander. It may recall to memory. or divulge, whera they were never known, the fealts of a good man, of which heis | absolved by repentance in the sight of God. Ad- initting; however, that he were not penitent, the . truth would. notwithstanding; be an unjust repre- sontation of his charactor. Every character posses- es its good, as well as its bad qualities, and it can- not be justly known, without seeing them to- athor. When slandor epoaks only of its vicos, t presents to us a detestuble imago, which has no proper original. lt exhibits an object that de- s serves contempt or hatred, instead of that mixed character, so like our own, which it ought to show us, and which would attract our benevolence er pity. No doubt every one has had iustances where he has received the most unjust preposses- sions, from the representations of slander agninst charneter, before they were known, which on the whole were worthy and good : when on more intimate knowledge, you discover your errors, and to correct your opimon, are ready to impeach the veracity of the man, who has artenipted to infuse an unjust prejudice in your mind. Yet it is pos- gible he may have said nothing but the truth, His injustice consigted in not saying the whole trullk -and it. may be received as a maxim, that even truth yeill mislead, and will often become slander L insjst that truth is alonder, when it unne- 3 Afvuiges the errors of our neighbors. | It lends’io destroy the clgqrfiillfgsf ‘quhcfrg‘ ,\ them ; it flows from an dnehatitable sud unfriend ty disposition, .or discovers an indifference to their happinces and peuces Doy C2 He thot propagates a slander from report; must be gither malovolent or, to the peace and Happiness of oxhg’fi‘frndnniuing an in- jerious history to be. founded on\ observation ; there is nuthing, greater probubility of its being false, than of its being true.

Boston Times says that the royal infant's organs of vision are now perfect,\ and tiiat medical men find no difficulty in accounting for the infant's blindgess, and one gentleman with whom I have conversed on the subject, said that he had no-doubt about the child's being blind. It is rather.a deli- cate subject to explain, and as I am not able to mystify it by medical, techmealities, I will simply refer you to the state of the Queen at the time Oxford, the postboy, fired two pistols at lier, and | which greatly agitated and alarmed her Majesty. To any one at all acquainted with this subject it will be apparent at once that the sudden flash of a pistol at such a time, immediately before the eyes of her Majesty, is in itself sufficient to cause blindness, either partial or- total, in the Princess, At leastyso I have been told by those who oughtto know, Painful -as it must be to the Queen and the British nation if the child is blind, yet from all that Lcan learn, I believe the Princees is partial- ly so. Another strong argument in proof of this is the fuet that the infant takes no notice: of nny thing held before her, and if hermeyes accustomed to their voice.\-Sfar Paxisan Moraus.-The Christian Watchman is publishing a series of interesting letters from Rev.
