A rArrhRR.

"Worcester defines tattler, as
one who tattIes, an idle talker; a
prater; gossip, a talebcaror. This
is quite comprehensive, aad covers
sufficient ground TO warrant as 10
say ing that the meauest specimen Of
humanity that ioiests society and
leaves its poisonous slime, whoreso-
ever creeps. is the tatiler. Where
is the community that is not cursed
with large company OF pestiferous
bipeds, who are eagerly looking after
every ones business but their uwn z
No community is free from them
no organization, either secular or re
ligious, bat is afflicted with thom.-
The church is almost continually in
state of unrest because Of these
tattlers. There they are very likely
TO be the ones who talk the loudest
of their love for the Savior; OF their
delight in being his followers, and
express their thanktu'ness that they
are not like the poor wanderers out
side of the fold, whose place finally
will be among the goats Such do
their tattling with long face, and
an expression of regret that they
feel obliged to slobber their slime
over their brothers and sisters and
acquaintance; but a sense OF duty
compels them to tell what they
know (9) of Mr.. A, or Mrs, b, or Miss
G. We think OF all such, the relig
ious GU tattler is the most contempt
BILE. But tattlers are by no means
confined to this class and they are no
more numerous in church than in
secular circles. They are to be
found in all classes of society -
among the rich and educated, among
the poor, both educated add ignor-
ant. The height OF their ambition
is to learn all they can about their
neighbors, and then retail their in~
formation in highly seasoned style
When they get hold of some choice
bit of scandal, no matter whether it
has the slightest foundation in fact
or not, they are happy, aud no home
is sacred against their poisonous
darts. There is but little use in un~
dertaking to reform the inveterate
tattler; such come as near the class
that were denounced by the Savior
as blasphemers against the Holy :
Ghost as any we can Imagine. But
to young men or women who find
themselves yielding to a temptation
to tattle, we would utter note of
warning Put from You the vile
temptation as you would shun vi
per. If you allow the habit to grow
upon you, it will destroy your man
hood and womanhood, and leave you
slaves to one of the vilest paesions
that can infest the human heart No
brighter memory eau ono leave in
the world than this: He Tor she)
never spoke i'll Of any one.

TIE PRAYING SOUTHERN GIN

night beforo the battle Of tho Wilder

undrossed and then kneeled by the
bedside and engaged in the most
devdot prayer. While his wogds
we're not audible, it could be seen
that he was very much affected -
was literally wrestling in prayer

half hour, Col. Alexander watching
him by the starlight that crept
through an open window. BY the
way, it is notable fact that the
South, lavish, reckless, imperious 10
all her ways, sent her armies 10 the
field under the leadership of God
praying and God fearing men, while
the decorous and straight laced North
did no such thing. IL may be that
the land of sentiment believed in
prayer, while the land of cold reason
put its frost in artillery and prefer
red that its leaders should look to
the condition of their troops rather
than indulge in petitions to the Di~
vine ArbteT, that after all, ia said to
give victory to the side having the

SAD STORY OF a BETRAYED wo-
MAN

The last act of an old but too con-
stautiy repeated drama has been
aeon this week. At oae Of our New
York hotels the curtain has been
rung down and tho earthly record
finished in misery and shame Of
once happy and beautiful gill Only
two or three weeks ago seemingly
deeply attached psir arrived here
from England There were ten or
twelve days Of apparent accord and
content in each others society, and
lhen the supposed husbenda man
of fashionable exterior and polished
manners ~ went away. Ills story
was that he was going to Philadel-
phia. and that he would soon return.
He tailed, however, to return, and
in day or two his companion be-
came pale and bowed like blighted
lily. A week passed and the unfor~
tunate woman saw and felt she had
been abandoned. So she laid down
and never lifted up het head again.
The wretched truth came out at last.
SLa had fled from her husband ia
England at the solicitation of the
scoundre who had now abandoned
her. Captain Couyers, as he called
himself. IL turned out had actually
sailt d for England again, leaving his
victim. who had sacrificed all for
him, i'll and penr less in strange
land. IL was to be expected, OF
course, but equally of course this
poor creature did not expect in and
so she died in bitter grief and re-
1t is said that she prayed
when dying that her husband might
fall in with her betray er in England.
Strange but pitiful hands smoothed
her wretched pillow and supplied
her needs till the last, and yesterday
she was laid to rest in Greenwood.
1t may be wrong 10 echo poor Mary
IIartIey's alleged dying prayer, but
it is hard to repress, iii reading OF
her wrotchod fate, hope that pun
in some just form should fall
upon the villain who destroyed her.

YOUTHFUL DEPRAVITY.

A SAD example Of youthful de-
pravity among children, scarcely to
be excelIed even in the "barbarous
South" is that of DO, named Viii
liam Mcclellan, who was picked up
in the Bowery, New York, on Sat
urday afternoon, helplessly drunk
The Post says the lad is barely thir-
teen years old In bis pockets were
found quantity of cigars and a huge
revolver. Later 10 the day it APP
peared that a robbery had been com
nitted short time ago at cigar
shop in Montgomery street and that
Mcclellan had been the thief The
revolver was identified as having
been stolen thence by its owner,
Dennis Driscoll and the wretched
boy, whose career of guilt is not
likely to be a long one, was ar,
raigned on the two-fold charge of
burglary and drunkenness 1t is
melancholy, moralzes she Post, to
reflect that tender as are McClellan's
years, there are criminals in New
York more youthful still, some of the
children who make a trade Of attack
ing ladies and snatching their peck
ct books and handke chiefs in the
upper part of the city, being actually
under ten years of age.

SOCIARILITY.

Think how much happiness you
convey to each other by kindly notice
and careful conversation. Think
how much sunshine such scciability
lets back into your own soul. Who
does not feel more cheerful and cons
tented for receiving polite bow and
genial, good morning., with a
hearty shake of the hand Who
does not make himself happier by
these little impressions Of fellow feel.
ing and good will Silence, and a
stiff, upbending reserve, are essen
TALLY selfish and vulgar. The gen
erous and polite man has pleasant re
cognition and cheerful words for all
he meets. He scatters suubeams
wherever he goes. He paves the
path of others with smiles. He
makes society seem genial, and the
world delightful to those who would
else find them cold, selfish and for
lorn. And what he gives is but a
1.-THE of what he receives. BE social
wherever you go, and wrap your
lightest words in tones that are sweet
and spirit that is genial.

CAPT. EADs says, regarding bic
plan for ship railroad across the
Isthmus, that capitalists stand ready
to furnish him the money whenever
he is prepared to build it. The
great engineer is confident that a
railroad to transport vessels can be
bull. for one>quarter the sum needed
to construct ship canal. That is,
Capt. Eads' plan requires $50, 000,-
900, to Sl00,O00,00O for the Les
seps canal project. The speedy
execution Of the Eads plan would re-
suit in giving the United States the
control Of the isthmus traffic.

A gang Of sharpers in Phlladel-

swindling visitors from the country
in novel way. They have stable
ostensibly for the purchase and sale
of horses. When q countryman en-.

ly valneles5 horse is offered to him
for $3.50. A bystauder offers 5000,
but the dealer angriIy says that he
will not cell to this man at any price,
having bad a previous quarrel with
him. The bysiander dfaws the
countryman aside aud says "Buy
the horse for $50, and III take him
off your hands at $500. This seems
to offer chance TO make $40 with

ing the $50 for the beast, does not
see any more of the promised pur-
chaser with tho $500.

The figures that show the moves
ment of population TO the new farm
ing lands in the West are almost
startling. During the year that
closed with last month not less than
sixteen million acres Of government
lands were taken up by homestead
entries alone, aud fally fourteen mil-
lion acres Of new lands were sold to

greater.
