set on fire of this hellish spirit will
keep a whole neighborhood a-boil II
does not require any very great brain
The chief requisition is that the wom-
ar lave q small family or no family at
all because if she have a large family
then she would have to stay at home
ard ,1ok after them. II is very impor-
tart that she be single or have no chill
dren at all, and then'she can attend to
all tie secrets of the neghborhood all
the time. A woman with n large fam
lily makes very poor whisperer.
IL is astonishing how these whisper
ers gather up everything. They know
everything that happens. There are tel
ephone and telegraph wires reaching
from thei ears 10 all the houses in the
neighborhood.. They have no taste for
healthy news, but for the scraps and
Feelings thrown out of the scullery into
the back yard they have great avidity.
On the day when there is new scandal
in the newspapers they have no time to
20 abroad. On the day when there arc
four or five columns of delightful pri-
vatc letters published in divorce case
she stays at home and reads and reads
and reads. No time for her Bible that
day, but toward night, perhaps, she
may find time TO run out little while
and see whether there are any new de-
velopments.

sharp lookout for his evil dominion in
that neighborhood. He has let ovt to

/ brothers and sisters into antaFonism,
and she disgusts the pastor with the

| she makes neighbors who before were
kindly disposed toward each other over
suspicious and critical, so when one of
| the neighbors passes by in carriage
they hiss through their teeth and say:
"Ah, we could all keep carriages if we
never paid our debts!'
When two or three whisperers get to-
| gether they stir caldron of trouble,
which makes me think of the three
witches of Macbeth" dancing around
boiling caldron in dark cave:
Double. double toll and trouble,
Fire burn and caldron bubble
FillCt OF a fenny snake
In the caldrou hoi! and bake;
Eye of newt and toe OF frog
Wool Of hat and tongue Of dog,
AGder's fork and blind worms sting,
Lizards leg and owlets wing
For a charm Of powerful trouble,
Like a he'll both lo., and bubble.
Double double. boil and trouble
Fire burn and caldron bubble,
Scale OF dragon, tooth OF wolf,
witches mumrny. nav and gut
