Tdttters and Tattling.

The disposition to pry into the privacy
OF domestic life is, unfortunately, very
common, and is always dishonorabIe.
The appetite for such knowledge is to be
regarded rs morbid, and the indulgence
OF it as disgraceful.
A family have a sacred right to pri-
vacy. In guarding the delicate relations
of the household, secrecy becomes a
virtue. Even if by chance the private
affairs of household are laid open to
stranger, honor would require him to
turn from them, and if knowledge of
them were forced upon him, they should
be locked in a sacred silence.
A double obligation of silence and
secrecy rests upon one who is a guest in a
family, The turpitude of a betrayal OF
family history by visitor, is far greater
than theft would th To pocket half
dozen silver spoons would do far less
damage, produce far less suffering, and
be less immoral than tale bearing. 1t is
thing so scandalouS that it should de-
grade person, and put him out of So
clety. To betray the secrets of house
hold is not only an odious immortality,
but it is a shame to be on terms with
those who are known to commit such
outrages. They are miscreants. They
put themselves out of the pale of decent
society. They should be treated as
moral outlaws
These hungry-eyed wretches who cit
IN the unsuspicious circle of parents and
children, treasuring their words, spying
their weaknesses, misinterpreting the in
nocent liberties of the household, and
then run from house to house with their
shameless news, are worse than poison
ers of wells or burners of houses. They
poison the faith Of man in man. If one
opens his. mouth to tell you such things,
with all your might smite him in the
face There are two actions which
Justify you i'll instantly knocking man
down; the one is the act of pointing a
gun at you in sport, and the other is the
attempt to tell you secret which it is
disgraceful for him to get and for you to
hear. Make no terms with such people.
lalebearers have no rights. They ara
common enemies of good men. Hunt,
harry and hound them out of good socie-
ty. They are the worst of pests save
one, and that is the listener to the tale
bearer.
There could be no tattling if there was
no one to hear. 1t takes an ear and q
tongue to make scandal. Greedy
listening is as dishonorable a. nimble
Iattling. The ar is the open market
where the tongue sells its ill-gotten
wares. Some there are who will not
repeat again what they hear, but they
are willing TO listen to it, They will
not trade in contrsband goods, but they
will buy enough of the smuggler for fami-
ly use.
These respectable listeners are the pat
rons OF tattlers. 1t is the ready market
that keeps talebaaring brisk. 1t is n
shame TO listen TO ill of your neighbor.
Christian benevolenee demands that you
do not love i'll news. A clean heart and
Il true honor rejoice in kindly things. 1t
should be a pain and sorrow to know Of
that degrades your neighbor in
your eyes, even il he is your enemy how
much more if he is your friend 7-Heuy
