Gosslp.-Gossip is always a per
sonal confession either of malice or
lmbecility, and the young should not
only shuh it, but by the most
thorough culture relieve themselves
from ak temptations to indulge in it.
1t is low, frivolous, and too often &
dirty business. There are country
nelghborLoods in which il RACES like
a pest. Churches are split into
pieces hy it. Neighbors made
enemies by it for life. In many per-
sons it degenerates into chronic
disease, which is practically incura-
BILE. Let the young cure it while they
may.

LAsr week we printed a little para
graph which read in this wise, ''The
weather is rs clangeble as the aver
age young lady" Without intending
it we have given offence to some of
our fair readers by publishing this
little item, and they appointed one of
their number to give us a blowing up
about it. "Lulu," we did not mean
to Insinuute that the ladies' were not
to be trusted, rs you charged US with
doing in yonr communication. Oh,
no! We only meant to say that they
changed their styl, of dress quite Of
ten. That is all and nothing more.
We plead gully to every word you
utter about the men. We know they
are hardened set of sinners, and
nothing will save them but The gen-
tic and refining influence of angelic
woman. Forgive us this time, "Lulu."
and You shall never have cause TO
complain again.
