CURE FOR GOSSIP.

There is but one cure for gossip,
and that is-cultule. Read, study,
devote yourself to art, music, or
some useful occupation-fill your
mind with other ideas, and you will
have neither time nor inclination
for discussing your neighbours af~
fairs. We appeal to girls, especial
ly, on this point, because while
their minds are young and fresh
they can form them, but as the years
advance. habits become confirmed,
and none is so Objectionable or so
easily fastened on one as this of
gossiping. 1t is so belittling to
the mind and character, so danger
GUS to all social peace and domestic
happiness, that we wonder that it is
not more generally condemned and
frowned down by older women of
sense and breeding than it seems
to be.
