TATTLERS AND TATTLING.

The disposition to pry into the privacy
OF domestic life is unfortunately, very
common, and is always dishonorable.
The appetite for knowledge is to be re-
garded as morbid, and the indulgence of
it disgraceful.
"A lamlly have sacred right to privacy.
In guarding the delicate relations of the
household secrecy becomes virtue. Even
II by chance the private affairs of the
household are laid open to stranger,
honor Will require him to turn from them
they should be locked in sacred silence.
A double obligation of silence and Sc
Grecy rests upon one who is in the family.
Inc turpitude of a betrayal of family his
tory py visitor is far greater than theft
would be. 10 pocket half dozen silver
spoons would do far less damage, produce
lar less suffering, and be less immoral
than tale-bearing. 1t is thing SO scan
dalous that it should degrade person and
put him out of society.
To betray household secrets is not only
an odious immortality. but it is sin and a
shame to be on good 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 hungTy-eyed wretches, who sit
IN the unsuspicious circles of parents and
children, treasuring their words, spying
their works, spying their weaknesses, mis-
interpreting the innocent liberties of the
household, and then run from house to
house with their shameless news. are
worse than Eoisoners 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
IN instantly knocking man down-the
one is the act Of pointing gun at you in
IN sport, and the other is the attempt to
tell you secret which it is disgraceful for
you to hear. Make no terms with such
people. Tale-bearers have no rights.
They are common enemies of good men.
Hunt, harry and hound them out of socie-
ty They are the worst of pests, save
one, and that is the listener TO the tale
bearer. c#s
There could be no tattling if there were
no one to hear. 1t takes an ear and
tongue to make scandal Greedy listen
ing is as dishonorable as niMble fattling.
The ear is the open market when the
tongue sells its i'll gotten wares.
Some there are that will not repeat
again what they hear, but they are willing
to listen to it. They will not trade in con-
traband goods. but they will buy enough
OF the smuggler for family use. These
respectable listeners are the patrons of
tattlers. 1t is the ready market that keeps
tale-bearing brisk. 1t is shame to listen
to i'll of your neighbors. Christian benev-
olence demands that you do not love i'll
news. A clean heart and a true honor
rejoice in kindly things. 1t should be
pain and sorrow to know of anything that
degrades your neighbor in your eyes, even
if he is your enemy; how much more if
he is your friend.-[H. w. Beecher.

This is an age Of inquiry and people are
beginning to realize the magnitude of the
evil caused by the use of injurious compounds
for the hair, which are prepared and forced
into market, by men who are not practical
physicians, and who may not be aware of the
injury they are producing. These prepara
tions have been analysed by competent chem
lists, and shown to contain poisonous sub
stances, causing Nervousness, Headache, Par
alysis, and often fatal results.
In contrast with such injurious articles, we
call attention to the Hair Restorer prepared
by DR.. R. Greene, Superintendent of the Bos
cessful physician in Boston for more than a
quarter of century. DR.. Greene uses Veg
etable Remedies only, and can assure the pub
lie that this Hair Restorer will do all that is
claimed for it, without apossibility Of injury.
81 hare tested a sample Of DR.. Greene's Hair
Restorer and find that no poisonous metals or
injurious matters erist in it.
C. T. JACKSON, State Assayer."
The use of this Hair Restorer for twenty
five years has tested its superiority as dress
scalp in a healthy condition. 1t removes
dandruff, prevents the hair from falling of,
preserves its natural color, restores it when
prematurely gray, renders it soft and glossy,
promotes its healthy growth, and is the best
dressing ever discovered. While other prep
arations are sold at almost any price, DR..
Greene's Hair Restorer has sustained its good
qualities, its price, and its reputation. II is
prepared by DR.. 4. Greene at the Medical In
stitute, "a Temple Place, Boston, and sold at

press to any part Of the country. Pamphlet

The extent to which labor-saving ma
chimes have been introduced into agricul-
ture, says the Chicago Tribune, we saw
illustrated day or two ago in Wisconsin.
A farmer was seated on reaper, with
gloves on his hands, and with an umbrella
over him, and with as much cumfort as if
driving a buggy, he was cutting oats, the
reaper throwing them into regular and
convenient sheaves for binding and stack
ing. We remember the time when, twen-
ty years ago, we cut oats without an
umbrella or gloves, and let the grain lay
where it fell from the scythe. Yet here
was man with a pair of horses. in CON-
Tort, DONG more in one day than twenty
live men could have done by hand twenty
years ago.

TO PURIFY DAIRY UTENSILS.

Stand on end, in convenient place for
use, an open-endea vessel of suitable d.
mensions for the size of the dairy, say from
half a barrel to a hogshead. In this say
slack some good quicklime, enough to
make thin whitewash when filed full of
water, and cover, to keep out dust and
dirt. The lime will settle, leaving a satu-
rated solution of lime over it as clear as
spring water. After using the milk-pans,
&c, wash them as other utensils are
washed and rinsed, then dip them in the
adjoining casks of clear water, giving them
quick turn, SO that every part becomes
immersed therein; set them to drain and
dry, and the publication is complete with
out any scalding process, from the new
pan to the old worn-out one.
The lime in the clear water instantly
neutralizes the the acidity in the milk vet
remaining in the cracks or seams &C., of
the milk vessels, to destroy which the pro-
cess of scalding has been performed.

APPLE-TREE BoRER.-This pest of our
orchards lays its eggs in the months of
June and July, near or just below the sur
face of the soil. These eggs soon hatch,
and the grub Immediately commences to
eat its way into the tree, pushing its east
ings out of the hoh, and by this sign we
may readily detect its presence. At this
time the borers are very easily destroyed
with wire or a sharp pointed knife, but
allow them to penetrate the wood several
inches and it becomes quite difficult to
reach them. As the borars live two or
three years, eating continually and pene-
trating the tree farther and farther each
season, it must be apparent to every one
that they must be destroyed before they
have done much damage to the tree.
