The Slanlisrer.
BY Z. w.

Z * y
Many persons proceed to the oom.
mission Of crime with great alac1ity,
They are vigilant and diligent in the
prosecution Of iniquity as if they were
fearful Of loosing time, or impatient Of
delay in work SO abominable. Some
men will be more than fifty times as
earnest to circulate an evil report as
they will to spread good one. or to
correct misstatement. AS one has
said. "Falsehood will go from Maine
to Georgia while truth is putting her
shoes on And there is much truth
and correctness in the remark though
it is uncouth.
The slanderer eHdeayors to poison
the well Of joy in every bosom. to SOW
distrust in every confding heart, and
wither with his blighting breath every
rose that may bloom in this vale OF
tears. What his object. is no one
knows; it is sufficient for him to trans
form harmony into discord and stir up
the evil passions in the most gentle
bosom. | fancy he shuns the eyes Of
all men, he looks not in the face OF
his fellows with that open confidence
that arises from sense of innocence
sentiment Of goodwill to mankind.
He will look calmly on and behold the
mischief he has wrought, and gloat on
the ruin he makes on one of the most
innocent and lovely of Gods creatures!
And yet the heartless wretch will
wipe Ills mouth and say, Il have done
no evil," being dead to sympathy
though full Of trouble and fear. Some
feel and know themselves surrounded
by treacherous and false friends, and
are traduced by back biters and evil
speakers. To be upon the mountain
exposed to the beasts Of prey is prefer
able to being surrounded by Preacher.
Gus men. Those whom we have re-.
garded as intimate and confding
friends and to whom we have opened
the fullness Of our souls, not only for.
sake US, but join with enemies in the
work Of detraction. I wonder not
neither am ! surprised that the soul of
the sufferer IS cast down. When an
Individual can soliloquize somewhat in
the language of jeremiah: 81 heard

Peradventure his foot may slide, say
and we will take advantage over him. )"
"A man must have nerves Of iron, and
be monomania in his self esteem and
have the courage of lion not to be
effected very sensibly thereby. ~--
One man may keep town in com
motion, involve a community in a
quarrel. and keep the public peace
floating on dark waves of contention.
These things ought not so to be. If
every man would pluck the beam out
of his own eye before he attempts to
Pull the moat out of his brothers eye
If he would look to himself, he
would probably discover all in his
own heart which he is so anxious to
find and imagine in Others; if he is SO
sincerely anxious to amend the lives
of others, let him prove his sincerity
by setting them an example in first re.
forming his own.
The old proyerb is very apt one:
"A slanderer is the DEVILS bellows to
blow up contention. 80
