Social Pests.

Only the other day an unhappy man
In a New Hampshire city shot and
killed his wife and then shot himself.
when dying he told his friends that
the mania To kill had been born in his
heart under the Influence of the gossip
of neighbors. He knew nothing
against his wife. but the whispering
of persons he believed to be friends.
and doubtless who thought themselves
his friends. made him mad, ana he
killed the woman he loved.
BE wary Of the tale-bcarer, who ap-
proaches you in the guise or friendship
to speak III of another. The person
who listens willingly TO gossip IS as
bad as the gossiper. If we cannot
speak well of another why speak Of
him at all? Silence hurts no one. Idle
talk often breaks a heart, ;uinS a
home. or takes life. Gossip blishted
the romance of Romeo and Julle.. and
laid the lovers cold in death. Gossip
has ruined not only men, out ein-
plrcs. Gossip is n vice, and the more
dangerous because a common vice. aud
one that few persons even try 20
guard against.-Boston Globe.
