Capt. Walter Taylor met with quite
a severe accident while driving his team
on the road between Brattleboro and
Fayetteville, one day last week. 1t APP
pears that as he was passing quietly
some stone on wall suddenly rolled off
frightening his horse, which ran consid-
erably smashing the buggy and throw
ing him out and dragging him some dis
lance and bruising his body seriously in
some places. 1t was a narrow escape
from more serious accident. The cause
of the falling stone is unknown beyond
that they we're probably in totling
condition and happened to fall at that
time.

Scandal.

There is nothing in social life more
ignoble and contemplate than what
Byron calls "the abominable title tat.
tie" of those who delight in circulating
scandal, who gloat over, even while
they profess to deplore, the details of Il
slanderous story, whose very manner of
deprecating credence i'll the tale con-
firms the listeners belief in its truth
fulness. How many there are of these
mischief-makers in every circle, who
know how, with skillful touch, to
heighten the tints of a slanderous rumor
with insinuations worse than open lies,
because they can not be met by open
denial by mingling sneers with smiles,
and by pretense of candor. And the
pity of it is that they shound find so
many people willing to listen that so
many would rather believe evil than
good of theirneighbor. Nothing spreads
like scandal, and the worse and more
unlikely it is the more readily it OBJ
tains circulation and credence. Society
is quite as much to blame az the scan
dal-mongers themselves. 1t is as mean
and disgraceful to listen to slander as
to utter one.
1t is a common trick with slanderers
and scandal-mongers to scatter their
vile inventions broadcast among the
community, and then point triumphant
" to the wide circulation their stories
have obtained as confirmation of their
truth. Theybespatt 9r o. man with mud,
and cry out upon him for dirty fellow.
Calumniate calumniate !" is their
motto; "some of it will stick" Per-
haps the most effective, as well as the
meanest, way of slandering is to do it
with affected pain and reluctance, as ii
well-nigh heart-broken at hearing evil
things whispered round about man so
dearly loved and honored. An adept in
this method of SANDER can work infinite
mischief.
There is something marvellous in the
way a slander grows as it passes from
mouth to mouth, we'll illustrated by the
the well.known story of three black
crows. Without intending, perhaps, to
exaggerate or be uutruthful, each one
who repeats the story adds something
of his own, and by the time it has gone
the rounds of society it has grown into
hideous Frankenstein, a monster OF
untruth and malignity. This may be
tested by the game of "exaggeration.
where one whispers story, couched in
as few words as possible, to the person
sitting next him. He repeats it in the
ear of his neighbor, and so on through
circle of ten or twelve, each one try.
ing to tell the story just as he heard
it. The last person in the circle tells il
aloud, and in nine cases out Of ten II
will be found that it has gained some
thing every time it has been told. The
moral of all this is expressed in the line
already quoted from Tennyson, "Speah
no Islander no, nor listen to it.

FAMINE IN ASIA MINOR.
Five Thousand Starve to Death In One
District.


District.
Rev. DR.. Clark of the American Board
of Foreign Missions has received let
ter from the Rev. J. 0. Barrows, of
Cesarea, dated July 10, in which he
gives some thrilling details of the ter
rible famine now prevailing in that re-
giOn. Mr.. Burrows writes:
While a, Yodegat, which is eighty or
ninety miles north of us noticed raw
ages Of the famine, which is very Sc
we're, and also beyond and toward An
goria, many villages are entirely de-
serted. In some only one or two, three
or four families, or parts of families,
remain. In the district of Sungarte,
which is beyond Yodegat, and in which
city there is Protestant church, as
many as 5000 persons have died of star
walton. But the horrors of this famine
are indescribable. Many people have
subsisted on grass for weeks and then
died. Beggars have hocked to the
cities and there many of them have
died because they could not get a NOR
sci of bread Old men, mothers with
babes at their breasts, young children,
boys and girls, are all half naked, beg
ging and crying, Dying bodies have
lain in the streets one, two, and even
three or four days, before burial, and
the dogs have feasted on them. Many
Of our Protestant communities and
families have suffered greatly.
At Suugarte some of the brethren
have sold house, shop, household fur
niture, everything, and now must beg
or starve, and perhaps both. In one
village there wRs one Protestant family.
The father, mother and all the children
but two have died of starvation. In
the village of Ingierlie there was a
pleasant little Protestant community,
several of whom were members OF the
church, with a preacher residing with
them, but they were poor. This
preacher went to Yodegat and pur-
chased -four, becoming responsible for
the pay himself, and so kept live six
families. Now, unless the preacher
can be paid, his creditors will take
everything from him.

The Mormon Girls.

The following is from Capt. Codman's
recent work on the Mormons. 1t is the
story of a Utah teamster, and shows
that the Mormon girls have some pecu-
liarities of taste on the marriage ques-
ton.
Il never tried to get married but once,
he said, 'and that was to Mormon gal
up here to Logan. She was just about
the slickest little critter ever you see.
Fust time come across her was where

ioin any church. / never did belong to
a church nor an engine company in the
States. However, l told her finally, as
she crowded me, that I'd swaller Brig
ham, tabernacle and all, for the love OF
her. So we got things about fixed, and
if she hadn't gone too far must have
been a bishop by this time. But she
had an old maid sister, and she wanted
me to marry that Susan Jane, too

Gentle WOman's Way

Who can help admiring the Roman
stoicism of the Arkansas Judge who said
after one lawyer had shot another dead
in a court room, "Look yeer, if you
keep on fooling around in this yeer way,
I'll commit some of you for contempt. "
Equal to this in patient suffering was
the gentleman who lives in Philadel-
phia, who, when he entered the base
ment dinning room the other evening,
found no one there and no preparations
for the evening meal, went up to the
parlor and there he found his wife
sitting n the sofa with young man by
her side, and that young mans arm
about her waist.
"See here" said the mild husband,
"I don't like this kind of thing. Why
isn't my supper ready?"
because l didn't like to make it, y
said the loving wife.
"What are you sitting there, letting
thai fellow hug you for?"
because 1 do like it"

sion, if this state of things continues

With holy prayer?
What mourner round my bier will come.
