THE CURE FOR GOSSIP.

What is the cure for gossip?
Simply culture. There is great
deal Of gossip that has no malig-
nifty in it. Good-natured people
talk about their neighbors be-
cause, and only because, they
have nothing else to 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 gal
Ieries of art; we have caught
glimpses Of them going from a
bookstore or a library, with a
fresh volume in their hands.
When we meet them, they are
full Of what they have seen and
read. They are brimming with
questions. One topic Of conver-
5ation is dropped only to give
place to another in which they
are interested. 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.
They knew something and want
ed to know more. They could
listen as we'll as they could talk.
To speak freely Of a neighbor's
doings and belongings would
have seemed an impertinence to
them, and, of course, an impro-
priety. They had no temptation
to gossip, because the doings OF
their neighbors formed subject
very much less interesting than
those which grow out Of their
knowledge and their culture.
And this tells the whole story.
The confirmed gossip is always
either malicious or ignorant.
The one variety needs a change
Of heart, the other a change Of
pasture. Gossip is always
personal confession either OF NAL
ice or imbecility, and the young
should not only shun it, but by
the most thorough culture relieve
themselves from all temptation
to indulge in it. 1t is a low,
frivolous, and too often a dirty
business. There are country
neighborhoOds in which 1t RACES
like pest. Churches are split
in pieces by it. Neighbors are
made enemies for life by it In

THE STRUGGLE OF EIGH-
TEEN YEARS.

branCe. a historic interest must
always attach to it on account
Of the political era which 1t
marks. For the first time in
eighteen years there is a Demo
cratic majority in both houses.
For the first time in eighteen
years the Republican party has
lost its hold upon the legislative
branch of the government; for
the balance Of power has chang
ed, and the Republicans find
themselves where the Democrats
have been. While it must be
admitted that the change has
been somewhat long in coming,
yet when the circumstances Of
the case are considered the won
deris that it ever came at all.
The Republican victory Of 1860
was won on a sectional issue and
Immediately followed by a sec
tional war. That war not only
largely increased Republican
strength by reinfOrcements from
the ranks Of the opposition, but
weakened the opposition still
further by the loss Of all the
Southern states. The secession
Of Southern members gave the
Republicans the entire control
of congress, and reduced the De
moCracy not merely to a minor
ity, but to a fragment Of party
helpless, almost helpless. In
this condition they were assail-
ed by the combined prejudices
and passions engendered by civ
il strife, and underwent such a
persecution as no political or
ganization ever endured before.
Without leaders, without disCi-
pline, without a clearly defined
policy, and loaded down with
the sins of their Southern breth-
rem, they had every reason to
abandon the contest in despair
That they did not; that they
fought on against overwhelming
odds, neither demoralized nor
discouraged by repeated defeats,
is the highest possible proof Of
the unconquerable vitality Of
their principles. Like Dryden's
"miIk-white hand" they are "oft
doomed to death, yet fated not
to die"
Peace brought the Democracy
a worse outlook, ifpossible, than
the war. The enfranChisement
Of the negroes and the so-called
Reconstruction of the South"
fixed Republican supremacy up
on what seemed to be immuta-
BILE foundations. With hardly
a single reliable Democratic
state in the North, and not one
in the South, the dominant par
ty might well congratulate itself
upon the permanent possession
of power. Nothing, however,
was omitted which promised to
make assurance doubly sure"
The executive and Legislative
departments Of the government
worked harnioniously together
organizing, consolidating and
in fortifying Republican acquisi-
tions, and in checking, crippling,
and crushing the efforts Of the
Democracy to retain a foothold
in the political arena. When
Grant began his first term the
most thoughtful and observing
Republican could see no cloud
in the future, and the most san
guine Democrat could see no
prospect of success. Yet Demo
Gratis battled as vigorously as in
the days oftheir brightest glory.
They refused to surrender, to re-
treat, or to compromise. They
closed UP their columns, rallied
under the old standards, renew
ed their old strategy, and ad-
7anced slowly, inch by inch,
step by step, until the lostground
was regained and the Democrat
lc flag planted in the center of
The enemy's camp. Robbed of

If his lips should utter aught save truth, I'd

And If he ever dared to go to see another

I'd light me on her quickly and tear each

And, perehing on his ehoir-back, sing such
dismal tune
He'd get his hat in haste and leave her very
soon.
But if he paused moment on the step to

To squeeze her hand or kiss her, I'd peck
