DR.. Johnson, giving advice to ~
intimate friend, said: Above gil ], ac--

It is from the same source that "a ma
ny troubles arise in the community
one reports conversation, and by
change Of tone or expression ia some of
the parts, varies the narrative, 90 that
the truth becomes lie. The variation
excites hard feelings and broods auar-
rel. It is better to refrain from all such
conversation but il entered rpon, one
is morally bound to give just the impress
sion and language made use of By the
author.
By adhering to this rule, many neigh
borhood quarrsls and difficulties might
be hindered. It is on this account that
the tattler is such an odious character.
4. shade Of nalignity is almost always
thrown over the second report. How
true the common saying, that story
always increases as it flies. If you
must tell the news, always stick to it
literally, and add no spicing to make il
more palatable. TAMNORTH.
Be GENTLEMEN AT HOME There
are few families, we imagine, any where,
in which love Is not abused as furnishing
a license for impoliteness A husband,
father or brother will speak harsh words
to those whom he loves the best, and
those who love him the best, simply be-
cause the security of love and family
pride keeps him frain getting his head
broken 1t is shame that man will
speak more impoiite at times to his wife
or sister than he would darn to any ie-
male, except low and vicious one. II

nature prove to be weaker protection
to woman in the family circle than the
restraints Of society, and that woman
usually is indebted for the kindest po-
liteness Of lifo to those not belonging to
her own household. Things ought not
so to be. The man who, because it will
not be resented, inficts his spleen and
bad temper upon those of his hearth
stone, IS small coward and very
mean man. Kind words are the circu-
lating medium between true gentlemen
and true ladies at home, and no polish
exhibited in society can atone for the
harsh language and disrespectfal treat

bound together BY Gods own ties q
