MEDOLESOME PARTIES.

There is one specie of humanity in
every town that makes itself as disa-
greeable as it can possibly be-the Cos
siping meddlesome female. Who has
not heard of her? Who has not felt
her sting? 70 her bit of scandal is a
feast, and in the absence of the gentiine
article she feeds upon its counterfeit.
She hears good words about her neigh
bors, but she never tells them. Let the
least word fall that might be tortured
into q slur, and she forthwith rolls her
eyes in delight and posts off to her
neighbors to tell it, under the seal OF
secrecy, until it might as we'll be her
aided from the house-tops. She is the
first one to visit the sick room and re-
late all the calamitles and diseases her
family has suffered for generations
until one we'll neigh wishes that she
might bave them all at once if they
would only silence her tongue If a
lady friend-no, she las no friends-it
a lady acquaintance be in a delicate
condition, her venomors tongue tells all
the story of suffering and pain that she
has ever heard of or imagined, regard
less of the fact tha. dire results may fol-
low. If she calls at your house her eagle
eye is on the watch for something which
may set her evil tongue in motion. To
her every house has skeleton closeted,
and her pfying eyes seek to penetrate
the door that conceals the mystery
She gloats over the misfortunes and
troubles of others. She knows no shame
and truth is not one of her cardinal
virtues. The front door should be
locked against her, as tightly as it is
against the woman who surrenders her
virtue. Shun her as you would poi
sonous serpent. Consign her to the
oblivion of social Ostracism, and thou.
sands of the pains and heartaches Of
this life will be wiped out with one fel
swoop.-[ Amigo News Item.

sible was done to stay the progress of
disease but of no avail. She continued
worse and was brought to this city on
Wenday August 18th, attended by her
husband, she was taken to the resi-
tlence of her daughter, Mrs. Nj. IL.
Lynn, where further medical treatment
was given her and everything known
to mortal mar was done to alleviate her
suffering and stay the progress of dis
&ase, but proved Of no moment. Death
had fastened upon her and claimed her
as his own on Tuesday afternoon at 5

The decreased was held in high esti-

to make other people happy. She was
a Christian woman in the highest sense
of the word, having united with the NJ.

The most charitable thing that can be
