Scandal.

One of the worst enemies to the peace
of society is the pedlar of scandal A lit
tie report to the prejudice of some person
gets afoat, and off goes this individual to
communicate it, very confdentially, to ey-
cry one in the neighborhood In little
time reputation is blasted, or feelings
wounded, and the quiet of family or
neighborhood disturbed for days, weeks or
years. Ard when the thing is sifted to
the bottom, there is nothing of it, in a
manncr-nothing that ought to have en-
gagged the attention of any third party, and
the interference of such parties in the af-
fair was an act Of simple i'll manners and
vulgarity, for which no excuse can be of
fered, or apology made. The best way to
treat all scandal bearers, is to show them
the meanness of their calling, or else have
nothing at all to do with them BY giving
them countenance or encouragement
which may be done by only listening to
their tales-we in measure place ourselves
in their power, for we know not the hour
when they may turn their vile tongues up
on us, as they have done upon hundreds of
40 iuuoCcHt anu tllcll
all the influence We have given to them by
needing their communications, is brought
to bear against us to our injury. 1t may
be set down as a safe rule, to disbelieve ha-
bitual tale -bearers on all occasions. If what
they relate is afterwards confirmed by 9th
ers or by the facts in the case, why. believe
these, and still distruSt the vender of SLAM

too wonderful to be pissed by. And here
are narratives of the murmuring at Meri-

Here is not only history of the battle

The man with the engraving tool would be
very anxious not to take any verbose nara
tives. Here is one referring to the quails:
"The red geese rise from the sea; lusting,
the people eat of Them"
And here the story of Marah: "The peo-
pie, with prone mouth, drinketh at the wa

The Image of its Father.

On the birthday Of "A seventh child, al
the women came rushing in to see tire deai
infant, and to congratulate the happy pa
rent upon the event. Our friend anticipa
ted the visit, and instead Of having th,
child prepared for it, made the servan
bring in sucking pig. and dressed it W
in swaddling clothes, and covering up it.
face, he laid it in the place the real child
should have occupied. The ladies Were
introduced into the apartment, and gently
approached the bed; the coverings were
turned down, and portion of the face OF
the little grunter was exposed.
Bless my soul!' said one of the ladies'
what a remarkable child
SO very interesting said second.
And SO good natured!' observed a third
as she commenced toying with it.
And how very like its father remarked
the fourth.
They were all struck with the observa.

The oery image Of its .father.'
The fiattered parent rushed out Of the
room convulsed with laughter, and leaving
the old women to discover their mistake.

keeps moving toward the figure and the
shower within increase. The clerk at the
open window is nearly inundated with par
cells of letters and sacks of newspapers, and
a fellow clerk come to his relief, and opens
another window. 1t lacks three minutes of
6. Boys no long walk up to the boxes to
mail their papers, but stand back and throw
them in at open windows. Faster, faster
and faster they come; it lacks only min
ute and half; the rushing, furious crowd;
men, women and boys, many holding their
arms aloft with letter and penny tightly
grasped, are trying to get to the place of
delivery. A spectator would naturally sup
pose they were each trying to obstruct one
another as much as possible. 1t lacks but
thirty seconds and still the crowd collects.
A seedy looking man, looking at the clock,
very deliberately ties his two letters and
newspapers together with piece of Irvine,
and throws them directly at the clerk in
the window. Amid the rush of the crowd
comes faint scream from some poor
squeezed" mortal who can't get her letter
in; and now the hammer comes down, one,
two, three, all the clerks in the windows
got ready-four, five, six, bang 90 the win
dows down, with one simultaneous slide.
Several letters and one paper are caught in
by it; but they, like those outside cannot
go by this mail, because they are too late
There is very good regulation, which en-
ables the tardy public to get their letters
off; but they have to pay fine for their
hardness. One letter box is left open, la.
beled "Late Letter Box "All letters that
are dropped in this box, before half past six
with the postage paid in full in stamps, and
having one additional stamp, will be sent
by the mail now being made up" Then
there are other boxes open, labeled "for
letters not intended to go by this mail"

Willard.

We have been as much mortified as as
tonished at the course of some of the Flu
sion papers Of this state in regard to Lieut..
Gov. Willard. Why is it that a universal
howl of derision and contumcly has been
made to echo through the State, on account
of a pledge having been made by Willard
that if elected Governor of the State, he
would not use intoxicating drinks? Why
is it that misrepresentation and abuse must
follow every man of the opposition party
who occupies prominent political posi-
ton? We claim to be, personally, ma
| tional Old Line Wing, and our sympathies
cannot be expected to incline to Gov Will
lard, but as long as we WELD pen or con-
troll an independent paper, we will expose
and oppose Inconsistency in any party. If,
as we believe, Gov. Willard has been
grossly slandered as regards his temper
ance habits. and the public mind unjustly
poisoned i'll that respect, then snch pledge
was proper and right to place him in cor
rect position before his friends and the peo-
pie of Indiana.
But the inconsistency of the course pur-
sued by the Fusion press, is intended as
the chief topic of our article.
If temperance is the great boon and
blessing which we believe it to be, and
which it Is loudly and rmmoderately claim
ed to be by these same Fusion papers; if it
be the virtue which they say it is. to abstain
from the use of intoxicating drinks--if it is

Willard to the people of Indiana, should te

the mortuary statistics of St Louis and Chicago for

is estimated at the end Of 1855 at lS0,OOO, and the

of Chicago at the end of 1853 is probably not less
