There is perhaps no more odious charac-
ter in the world than a gosbetween; by
which we mean that creature who carries to
the ears Of one neighbor injurious observa-
tions that happen to drop from another
Such a person is the slanderer's herald, and
is altogether more odious than the slanderer
himself. By vile oficiousness he makes that
poison effective which else were inert ;
three-fourths of the slanderers in the world
would never injure their object, except by
the malice of go-betweens, who under the
mask of double friendship, act the part of
double traitors.

The Old Homestead.
RY ALICE CARY.


When first the skies grow warm and bright,
And flash with gold the hours,
And in her pale, faint robes the spring.
Is calling up the flowers
When children with unslippered feet,
Go forth with hearts of glee
To the starlight uneven furrows
Where the yellow corn must be;
What beautiful embodiment
Of ease, devoid of pride,
Is the good old-fashioned homestead,
With the doors still open wide
But when the happiest time is come,
That to the year belongs,
OF uplands bright with harvest gold
And meadows full of songs;
When fields of yet uniipened corn,
And daily gariIer1d stores,
Remind the thrifty husbandman
Of ample threshing floors
How pleasant from the din and dust
OF the thoroughfare aloof
Seems the oid-tashiOned homestead,
With steep and messy roof.
When home the woodman plods with ak,
Upon his shoulder swung, r..
And in the znotted apple tree
Are scythe and sickle hung
When light the swallows tWitter
Meath the Tafters Of the shed,
And the table on the ivied porch
With decent care is spread
Then hearts arc lighter and freer
Than beat in the populOus town,
In the old-tashioned homestead,
With gables sharp and brown.
When the flowers of summer perish,
In the cold and bitter rain,
And the little birds, with weary wings,
Have gone across the main;
When eurls the bluo smoke upward H
Towards the deep blue sky,
And cold, along the naked hills,
And white the snow-dr fits lie
In legends of love and glory
They forget the cloud and storm,
In the old-fashioned homestead,
With hearth-stone large and warm.

STUPID VERDIOT.-The following story
of twelve gentlemen Of the jury in England,
who sat upon the case of man found dead
in sand-pit, surpasses, in the stupid fatu-
ity of the jurors, anything which American
records could present: "They first returned
verdict of 'manslaughter.' The coroner
recapitulated the testimony adduced, and
sent them back. They re-entered the court
with we find the deceased was still born
For third time they were dismissed, with
Lord Campbell's well known formula, Gen
tlemeu, you will retire to consider of your
verdict-this man was found dead in a sand
pit So they avoided technicalities, and
came soundly to the conclusion, that the
said Robert Trelawney is dead, and died Of

Many proverbs admit contradiction, as
witness the followingi "The more the mer-

No so-a ring has none, for it is round.
