The Cure for Gossip.

What is the cure for gossip? Simply cul
ture. There is great deal of gossip that
has no malignity in it. Good-natured peo
pie talk about their neighbors because, and
only because, they have nothing else 10
talk about. As we write, there comes to
us the picture of a family of young ladies.
We have seen them at home, we have met
them in galleries of art, we have caught
glImpses OF them gQing from bookstore,
or library, with fresh volume in their
hands. When we meet them, they arc full
OF what they have seen and read. They
are brimming with questions, One tonic
OF conversation is dropped only to give
place to another in which they are inter.
ested.
We have left them, after a delightful
hour, stimulated and refreshed; and
during the whole hour not a neighbor's
garment was soiled by so much as a touch.
They had something to talk about. Thew
knewsomething and wanted to know more.
They could listen as we'll as they could talk.
10 speak freely of neighbofs doinrs and
belongings would have seemed an imperti.
nenee to them, and, of course, an impropri.
ETY.. They had no temptations to gossip.
because the doings of their neighbors
formed a subject very much less interesting
than those which grew out of their knowL
edge and their culture, And This tells tho
whole story, Che confirmed gossip is always
either malicious or ignorant. The one
variety needs a change of heart and the
other change of pasture. Gossip is always
a personal confession either of malioa ar
and the young should not only
shun it, but by the most thorough culture
relieve themselves from all.temptations to
indulge IN it, IL is low, frivolous, and too
often dirty business. There are country
neighborhoods in which il RACES like pest.
Churches are split ip pieces by it, Neigh
boFs @Fe made enemies by it for life, In

disease, which is practically incurable.
