THE CURE FOR GOSSIP.

Every body 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 the
experiment. He was considered fool
because he did not talk on some subject
or other. Everybody must have, some-
thing to say, or give up society. OF
course, the topics of conversation will
relate to the subjects of knowledge. If
man is interested in science he will
talk about science. IF be is an enthusiast
in art he will talk about art. If he is
familiar with literature, and is an intel
ligent and persistent reader, he will nat
urally forward literary topics in his
conversation. So with social questions.

The very simple reason why the world

THE VALLEY OF THE YOMOURI.
ISLAND OF CUBA.

When the dull gray mists Of the morning
Hung over the land and sea,
We rode to the heights o'erlooking
The Vale Of the Yomouri;
Thither we rode, and waited
Till the sun. like an Angel of Light,
Touched with transfguring glory
The vaporous ghost of night
While over the sea behind US
The clouds yet darkly lie,
They are silvery on the hill sides,
They are crimsoned up in the sky;
And with noiseless smoke-surf drifting
And breaking on palmy knobs.
With its great drop-curtain lifting,
The tropical scene outrolisl
In the lap of the verdant mountains,
In many a mural chain,
Here ripens the golden orange.
Here sweeteus the sugar-cane;
Not fairer the Happy Valley
AT the Abyssinian tale;
And the giant Pan of Matanzas
Is monarch Of the vale.
With glistening eyes, as of childhood.
Ger the summer hills glance,
With eyes that the unfamiliar
Enchants with the hues of romance.
Oh, stood there as Youth stands ever,
With the morning light ON the earth,
Yet near the vailed ocean, shadowing
The mystery OF Birth.
We rode through the valley at evening:
A golden sunset burned,
And against it the piny submits
Were black, as we returned:
The mountain shadows heightened,
The sun went down behind.
And in streamers of rosy color
Grew the twilight arch defined.
With luminous interspaces
or that glory in the west,
The feathering palm-trees tapered
Up from each hillock's crest;
Than columns OF human temples
More tall and graceful far;
Their broad leaves family silvered
By the rays of the evening star.
1t was beautiful as a visionl
But we passed gap in the hills,
BY Tiver-and lol the ocean
The vast horizon fills
No more as it was at morning,
Wrapped in a misty cloud.
1t stretched to the north In its grandeur,
With the gathering night its shroud;
And thought Of the valleys legend,
OF the chief in battle slain,
Whose soul went forth as thy winds go,
Thou melancholy main
Oh, often in pleasant places
Our lines of life may be-
But Joy casts shadow-and round us
Forever flows the sea-

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 neighbors because,
and only because, they have nothing else
to talk about.
Gossip is always personal confession
either of malice or inbecility, and the
young should not only shun it, but by
the most thorough culture relieve them-
selves from all temptation to indulge in
it. It is low, frivolous, and too often a
dirty business.

AUTUMN.

The dying leaves fall fast,
Chestnut, Willow. Oak and Beech,
All brown and withered lie.
Now whirling in the cutting blast,
IS Now trodden under foot--they teach
That one and all must die.
This autumn Of the year
Comes sadlNhome to my poor heart,
Whose youthful hopes are fed.
The darkening days are drear.
Each love once mine / see depart
As withered leaves and dead.
But is 1t all decay?
All present loss ?-no gain remote?
Monotony Of pain9
All mol hear lay
The robin sings-how sweet the note,
pure unearthly strain.
And OF all flowers the first.
Beneath these leaves in spring shall blow
Sweet violets blue and white.
So all lost loves shall burst,
In springlike beauty, summer glow,
In Heaven upon our sight.

"It's light, that's all, !" said Seth with

the cannon below.

ed and the piercing screams of wounded
and scalded men arose, mingled with
the Kissing steam and the dull roar of
thunder. The storm had burst.

ed Seth. "Serves them right! Poor

"Here goes. then shake hands. God
bless ye, mate; if we don't meet again,

The driver and fireman clasped hands
in silence, and Seth turning on the full
pressure of steam, the engine gathered
itself up for its final race.
Not sound escaped either of the
men. Side by side they stood. AS
they approached they could see a RED
glare. The bridge had caught fire. Al
they shot past, a form Of two hurried
quickly out of sight-some of the des

PUBLIC MANNERS.

Nothing more surely marks a gentle
man than his public manners. 1t is,
for instance, impossible not to feel that
a man who arrives at hotel late at
night, and goes noisily, talking and
laughing, along the corridor to his room,
finging his boots down heavily, and
slamming the door, though an upright
and excellent person, yet lacks the finer
qualities of the gentleman. The essence
of courtesy is moral. tits a sympathet-
ic regard for the feelings of others which
spares them unnecessary annoyance.
When it is, at bottom, humanity. So
when public man vituperates another,
however smart the abuse may be,
there is an instant perception of the
want of true gentlomanly feeling. How
ever polished the invective, it is moth
ing more than the style Of the steWs.
When Lord Beaconsfeld spoke of Mr..
Gladstone in the strain that we quoted
last month, it was instantly felt that he
had made mistake; and although he
might be, as his admirers assert, the
last unmingled representative of the
Sephardim, or those Hebrews who can
trace their pedigree unbroken through
interminable generations Of ancestors al
ways of gentle blood, he was yet not
quite gentleman. When a member
of public assembly had been berated
by an opponent with every kind of Of
fensive epithet, and was asked to reply,
he said, 'But there is no reply to slop
pail" If a guest disturbed from sleep
by the noisy conner that We mentioned
should open his door, and by way of re-
prisal, ''shy his boot-jack" at the door
of his noisy neighbor when he had fall
en- asleep. it might be what was called,
when ons scientific man spat in the face
of another who had questioned his as
sertion, "the wild justice of expec-
toration," but it would not be gentle
manly. t85 s
Perhaps, then. it is better sometimes
not to be gentlemanly ? That is undoubt-
edly the practical conclusion of those
who feel uncomfortable when they have
been covered with mud, until they. can
/ throw mud in return. But the self-re-
straint which good manners imposes is
always better than "letting yourself go. "
Mephistopheles is never good coun-
sellor. and largely because he is not a
gentleman. The real Sephardim may
not trace continues gentle blood through
interminable generations of ancestry.
But they do not slam their boots nor
their doors, nor hustle in late at con-
certs and talk during the performance.
nor occupy more seats in railroad car
than they pay for, nor keep their seats
in street car, compelling woman to
stand. They may, indeed, reproye and
rebuke. but without heat or personality,
like Thomas when he feared that the
music interrupted the conversation. or
like that true gentleman whom the older
Berkshire knew, and who said to the
young woman to whom he had given his
place in the car, and who asked him
what he was waiting for, "0nly to hear
you say. thank you, my dear. ."-Har-
