A PREVALENT EVIL.
The Habit of Gossip and the Havoc 1t
Works.

Works.
A praiseworthy work is this in which
many are engaged; namely, that of
trying to put down intemperance; but
there are other evils as bad, if not
worse, than the abuse of intoxicants,
says an exchange. Gossipers and
scandal-mongers are as great draw
backs to the welfare of communities as
because the latter can be restricted by
law while the former can not.
Many a young man has been driven
to drink because some silly or malic-
ious. gossip, by insinuations which
We're not wholly false yet not wholly
true, first gave him a bad name; and
many one who had been on the road
to reform, turned back because gos-
slipping tongues would not let him
bury his past.
Many young girl is looked at ask
ance because some girlish slip at strict
decorum was magnified into misde-
meanor by some envious or evil-mind-
ed scandal-monger. And if the slip
be really bad one, there is no mantle
of charity spread over her, there is no
allowance made for her because of ex-
listing influences; because she had, per-
haps, no one to guide her; or because
neither church, school Or state had
stretched forth hand to save her.
The downfall of many man and
woman may be traced directly to their
first having been Observation-Disclosures
when he was given a bad name. 1t is
for such mischiefmakers that the BIZ
BILE recommends a milestone around
the neck. If they We're drowned or in
some other way suddenly squclched,
there would be but one loss instead of
the loss of so many souls which their

One reason why scandal mongers
flourish is because even the best peo-
pie will listen politely, if not interest
edly, to such gossip. Or at best they
treat it with what they call silent
contempt" since they know that the
tale is an untrue one. Yet it is a
cruel fact that the one whom the
SANDER involves is, more or less be-
smirched by it, however innocent he

accessory to the crime. Silence

if the liar is not rebuked, he has every
right to believe that his lies are taken
as truths.
The cruelest ISLANDERS are those
made by insinuations. The down.

"They say"
One good woman kept gossip at a
discount in her village by Immediate
ly wanting to prove any evil reports
that were told her. "If this is true"
she would say, "let us go and see
about it, and give our erring brother
Cor sister, good counsel and help; but
if we find it untrue we must trace the
story to the first one who uttered it,
and make that one rectify it, SO our
brother Cor sister, will not suffer-"
There was no escaping her; the gos-
siper had to go with her on the inves-
tigating tour or own up at once to iav-
ing told an untruth.
Strange to say, many Of the worst
scandal mongers are persons who pre-

acquainted Hooper with many marvels which reach

from restraint had the good effect of inducing
a slight drowsiness He would not admit it. but
Hooper convinced that he had not slept in
the preceding four days at least That afternoon
he yielded sufficiently to the demands of outraged
nature to sink into a heavy sleep. though We found
on inquiry-not from him but from those whose

loss-that his control over them never slackened.

Hooper was the rack all the time. The signs
