MALE GOSSIPS.

The world, especially the masculine part
of it, has always had great deal to say
about female gossips, and one would al.
most conclude that 10 other species existed.
Now it is doubtless true that the female

good takers, and not iudispcsed to pretty

refinement and superadded culture of mind
and heart have raised far above this weak.

than these ministeripg angels. Their very
presence rebukes all unkindness.
But it is by no means true that no Cos
sips exist outside of hoops and crinoline.
BE it known to whomsoever it may con.
cern, that there are male gossips. They
are not confined to any particular locality,
but are generally found in the greatest
numbers and perfection in small, country
towns, the chief theatre of their operations
being The tavern or store. Here they con-
gregate, especially in winter evenings, and

No one too high or too low, nothing too
sacred or profane, to be discussed. The
doiugs, even the sacred privacy of every
family, of every church, minister, deacon,
school-master, school am, and school
committee, are the theme of free and ex.
aggerated talk.
Now we believe in large freedom of
speech, but not at all in that unlicensed,
meddlesome spirit which catches and makes

much precious time is thus was.ed-what
an evil influence is cxerted upon the young
who sit by and listen, or learn to take
part in the vulgar profound discourse. The
young, who, at home, where they should
be, might store their minds with useful
knowledge, are here schooled in the most
learning. They learn too
much of many things of which they should
be ignorant; they become bold, meddle-
some and profane. Truly, this male gos-
siring is an evil and nuisance Wayer-
