The Cure for Gossip.

Everybody must talk about something.
The poor fellow who was told not to talk
for fear that the people would find out
that he was fool, made nothing by ex-
pertinent. He was considered fool be-
cause he did not talk on some subject or
other. Everybody must have something
to say, or give up society. Of course,
the topics of conversation will relate to
the subjects of knowledge. If a man is
interested in science he will talk about
science. If he is an enthusiast in art he
will talk about art. If he is familiar
with literature, and is an intelligent and
persistent reader, he will naturally for
ward literary topics in his conversation.
So with social question, and religious.
Out of the abundance of the heart the
mouth speaketh. That of which
the mind is full, that with which it
is furnished, will come out in express
sion.
The very simple reason why the world
is full of gossip is, that those who indulge
in it have nothing else in them. They
must interest themselves in something.
They know nothing but what they learn
from day to day, in intercourse with,
and observation of their neighbors.
What these neighbors do, what they say,
what happens to them in their social and
business affairs, what they wear, these
become the question of supreme interest.
The personal and social life around
them-this is the book under constant
perusal, and out of this comes that
pestiferous conversation which we call
gossip. The world is full of it; and in
million houses, all over the country,
nothing is talked of but personal affairs
of neighbors.
What is the cure for gossip? Simply
culture. There is great deal of gossip
that has no malignity in it. Good
natured people talk about their neigh
bors because, and only because, they have
nothing else to talk about.
Gossip is alwaysa personal confession
either Of malace or imbecility, and the
Young should not only shun it, but the
most thorough culture relieve themselve:
from all temptation to indulge in it. Il
is low, frivolous, and too often dirty
