The Cure for Gossip.

What is the cure for gossip Sim
ply cnltnrc. There is Il great deal u
gossip that las no malignity in it.
Good natured people talk about their
neiglibors because, aud only because,
they have nothing else to talk about.
As VIC write, there comes to MS the
picture Of family OF yourg ladies.
We have seen them at home; we have
met them IN galleries Of art; we have
canght glimpse cf them going from q
book store Or library, with fresh
volume IL their hands. When we
meet them they are full ~ what they
have seen and read. They are brim.
ming will, questions. One topic Of
conversation is dropped only 70 give
place TO another 10 which they are In
serested We have left them after

freslIed, md during The whole hour
not neighbours garment was soilcd

something TO talk about. They knew
something and wanted TO know more.
They could listen as well as they
eoald talk. They speak freely Of
neighbours doings and belongings
would laye seemed an irnpertinence
% them, and, Of course, an impropric-
y. They had no temptation to COS
zip, because the doings Of their neigh

Interesting than those which grow ont

Aud this tells the whole story. The
confirmed gossip ID always either ma.
ileions or ignorant The one variety
needs a Change Of heart, aud the other

malice or imbccility. ana the young
