The Iowa plain dealer. [volume] (New Oregon, Howard County, Iowa) 1867-1895, 1869-04-23

Every community is cursed by
the presence 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 humanity
which all-wise Providence permits
to exist on this cursed Garth. 1t is
we'll known that almost every per-
son is sometimes disposed to speak
evil of others and tattling is a
sin from which very few can claim
to be entirely exempt. But the OBJ
ject Of our present article is to speak
of that distinct class of tattlers who
mako tale-bearing the constant bu-
sincss of their lives. They pry in
to the private affairs of every fami-
ly in the neighborhood, they know
the exact state OF one neighbor' S
feelings toward another they un-
derstand every body's faults, and no
little blunder or misdemeanor ever
escapes their vigilant watchfulness.
They are particularly posted upon
everything connected with court
ship and matrimony, know who arc
going to marry whom, and can guess
the exact time when it will take
place. They watch every move
ment Of parties Suspected of matri-
monial intentions. and if there is
the slightest chance to create a dis
turbance, excite jealousy, or "break
up a match. they take immediate
advantage of it, and do ali in their
power to keep people in constant
state of yexation. They glide qui-
city from gentleman to lady, from
mother to daughter, from father to
son, and in the ears of all they poyr
their dark, bitter whispers of SLAM
der 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 honeyed words of friendship.
Tattlers arc confined to no partic-
ular class Of socieay. They belong
to all classes, and operate in all. =
We find them the rich and the poor
-" upper ten" and the g lower
million,' in the church and out of
it. They are people who have no
higher ambition than to be we'll in
formed in regard to other peoples
private business, to retail scandal
to their neighbors, and exult in
fendish triumph over the wounded
feelings and bruised hearts of their
innocent victims. Beauless old
maids and childish matrons make
the most accomplished scan
dial mongers in the world. They
seem to take to tattling from the
promptings Of natural instinct,
and they prosecute it with an ener-
gy that would do Internal honor to
their great lcader-thc prince of
darkness himself. Our contempt
for such graceless creatures knows
no bounds, and We can find no words
to express its insamy. What pun
ishment they deserve VIC can not
know but God knows, and as sure
as his eternal justice reigns, they
will receive a retribution proper
toned to the magnitude of their Of
fcnses against the laws Of God and
the interests of humanity.

One Hundred Years Ago.

One hundred and ten years ago,
there was not single white man in

the mountains Of the moon. 1t was
not until l767. that Boone loft his

The Family Record.

The family is like book
The children are the leaves;
The parents are the cover, that
Protective beauty gives.
At first the pages Of the book
Are blank and purely fair;
But time soon Writeth memories,
And painteth pictures there
Love is the little golden clasp,
That bindeth up the trust;
Oh! break it not, lest all the sheaves
Shall scatter and be lost.

Oh! Spare, Spare the Old
Home stead.
BY SIDNEY DYER.

Oh ! spare spare the old homestead, nor
ruthlessly part,
The ties that have bound it, so long to my
heart.
When wandering and weary, and burden
ed with care,
A bright spot of sunshine, still beams for
me there.
Then spare, spare the old homestead
tits dear to me yet,
The home of my childhood, never,
never shall forget.
Oh! spare, spare the old homestead, twas
there l first knew,
The love of my mothec, still changeless
and true.
A fathers, brothers., q loved sister, $
care,
Oh these are the memories, that beam on
me there.
Chorus.
Oh! spare, spare the old homestead,
though moss over-grOwn,
It's halls are deserted, decaying alone.
Yet back to it's hearth-stone my heart will
repair,
As though its warm greetings, still wclcom-
cd me there.
Chorus
Oh spare, spare the old homestead, till
that pensivc hour,
When age makes me weary, and life yields
it's power
Then bear me when fainting, to breathe
it's sweet air,
And die mid the sanshine, that beams on
me there

A REMEDY FOR THE CHICKEN CHOLERA
The chicken cholera has been making sad
havoc among the feathered brood In this
vicinity recently, and various remedies have
been recommends !, but none Is more simple
than that Of furnishing the water which the
fowls drink In an iron pot or pan. The
iron vessel at hand, throw couple OF rusty
nails or pieces Of iron into the vessel from
which your fowls drink. We would add
that II Is at all times conducive to the gen.
eral health Of fowls to furnish their drinking
water In iron vessels, especially In summer.
