We believe it has been demonstra
ted over and over again that politics
don't pay, when taken in large doses
although it may be harmless when ia.

more thoroughly one becomes master
of that business, the better it will be
for himself. his family, and the com
munity in which he resides.

EvIs OF GossIr.-I have known a country
society which withered away all to nothing
under the dry rot Of gossip only. Friendship,
once rs firm as granite, dissolved to jelly, and
then run away to water, only because OF this {;
love that promised future as enduring as
heaven and rs stable as truth, evaporsted into
a morning mist that turned into days long
tears, only because Of this; and q husband
and his young wife, each straining at the hated
lash which In the beginning had been the gold
en- bondage Of God blessed love, sat mourn.
fully by tho side of the grave where all their
JOY lay buried, and only because Of this.
have seen faith transformed to mean doubt,
hope give place to grim despair, md charity
take on itself the features Of black malevo-
lence, all because Of the spell words Of scan
dal and the magic mutterinss Of gossip. i
Great crimes work great wrong, and the
deeper tragedies Of human life spring from its
larger passions; but woeful and most molan.
choly are the uncatalogued tragedies that issue
from gossip and detraction; most mournful
tho shipwreck often made OF noble nature and
lovely lives by the bitter winds and dead salt
waters Of slander. So easy to say, yet so hard
to disprove-throwing on the innocent, and
Furnishing them as guilty IL unable to pluck
oit tho stings they never see, and 10 silence
words they never hear. Gossip and slsnder
are the deadlicst and cruelest weapons man
has for his brother's hurt.-AHths Year Round.
