IS PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY W, J. SLATER,

The Fo,t Madison Argus is out in the
following able article upon tatters; and
while we cordially endorse every word it
contains, we cannot help thinking that it
is decidedly applicable to other places
beside Fort Madison
Every community is cursed by the pres
cnce Of a class Of people who make it
their business to attend to every body's
business but their own. Such people are
the meanest specimens Of depraved hu'
manity which an all,wise Providence
permits to exist on this sin.cursed earth.
1t is we'll known that almost every person
is somewhat disposed to speak evil Of
others: and tatling is sin from which
very few can claim to be entirely exempt.
But the object Of our present article is to
speak Of that disli:ct class Of laltlcrs
who make tale. bearing the constant
business Of their lives. They pry into
the private affairs of every family in the
neig hborhood they know the exact state
Of one ighbor's feelings towards anoth
er; they understand everybody's faults,
and no little bunder or misdemeanor
ever escapes their vigilant watchlulness.
They are particularly we'll posted upon
every thing connected with courlship and
matrmony-know who are going TO
marry whom, and can guess the exact
time when it will take place. They
watch every movement Of parties suspec'
ted Of matrimonial Intentions, and if
there is tie slightest chance 10 create a
disturbance, excite jealousy, or "break
up" match, they take immediate advan.
tage Of it, and do all in their power tc
keep people in constant yeXaton.-
They glide quietly from gentleman to
lady, from mo lher to daughter, from father
to son, and in the ears fall they pour
dark, bitter whispers Of slander and
abuse, and at the same time pretend TO be
the most sincere friend OF those they talk
to. Their black and nauseous pills Of
malicious slander are sugar. coated with
smiles and horied words Of friendship.
Tauers are confined to no particular
class of society. They belong TO all
classes and operate in all We find
them among the rich and the poor-the
"upper ten" and the clover Million
in the church and out Of it. They are
people who have no heart and less brains
who have no his her ambition than to
be well-inrormod in regard to other peo.
ple's private business, to retail scandal
to their oeishbors, and expIt in fendlsh
triumph over the wounded feelings and
bruised hearts Of their innocent victims.
Beauess old maids and childless matrons
make the most accomplished scandal
mongers in the world. They seem to
take tattIing from the promplings of a
natural instinct, and they prosecute it
with an energy that would do internal
honor to their great leader-the Prince
Of Darkness himself. Our contempt for
such graceless creatures knows no bound,
and wn can find no Uor Is in which 10
express its nfnity. What punishment
they deserve we cannot know; but God
knows, and as sure as his eternal Justice
reigns, they will receive rcirlbulion in
proportion to the magnitude OF their
offences against the laws Of God and the
interests OF humanity.
So mote it be.

SEDUCTION BY MMisTFR.-We C have
to record the downfall Of another poIlt'
cal preacher known as the Rev. Joseph
Barclay. At the recent term Of the
court ia Carroll county, Ohio, he was
found guilty Of seduction and breach Of
promise of marriage TO Elizabeth Sharp,
and muIcted in damages to the value of
s. 900.
The defendant was a preacher Of The
Covenaner or Seceder faith, and was one
of the leading men Of Carroll county -
The evidence on the trial showed that he
had for some time been paying his adj
dresses to Miss Sharp, an accomplished
and highly respectable young woman of
the county, that he promised to marry
her, and then with the hellish machina.
lions Of fend, but shielded with the
livery OF heaven, he set about his work of
destruction, anl by prayers and great
professions righteousness, coupled with
his promise of marriage, he succeeded in
aeducmg the young girl from the path Of
virtue, accomplished her ruin and then
deserted her.
That is the right way to fix it; and il

obligated TO the heavenly messenger,--
