Gossipers and Tattlers.

All gossipers and tattlers are had
enough, but deliver us from woman
who tattles, one who from envy and
jealousy will attempt to blight the
fair name Of the woman who has
been her companion, by making q
house to house canvass, telling tale
here and one there, me thinks I can
see the demon now, as she enters the
home Of the one she desires to in
jure by unfolding her story, she corn
mences thus, ooh, have something
Ito tell you," but you must not re-
peat it, it was just told to me and
must surely be true, 1t is about Mary
Doe, or Jane Roe. Mother says 1t is
awful, and that cannot go with her
any more" You can see the evil IN
this tattler now. She has made the
first thrust, stabbed her young frieni
in the back with the piece Of false
news. and thus she makes her rounds
from place to place, doing all the
harm she can. Reflect about this aw-
full habit of talking too much, and
shun a tattler as you would rattle
snake.

Wife a Business Partner.

A farmer should remember that his
wife is business partner. She makes
the butter, helps prepare things for
market, is watch dog for the prem
ises when he is away, and assists
with the poultry and garden; and
when he secretly signs away money
she has helped to earn, he is cheat
Ing his partner as we'll as robbing his
wife; and it is an offence the law
would not tolerate in any other con-
partnership, nor should it in this.
There is a law which prevents a
man from selling his farm without
his wifes signature, and is sounds
as if wife was of some Importance;
hut it is rendered non-effective as a
preservative Of her home from the
fact that he can mortgage it and en-
dorse other mems papers to any eX-
tent without her knowledge or con-
sent, and thus dispose of the family
p5ssessions-and the sheriff can sell,
and she has no right that he is bound
to respect. This statute is mock
cry until it is supplemented by ar
other making mans signature, as
security invalid when written with
out his wife's approval: and still an
other making it illegal for him to
mortgage the farm to pay debts that
she has nc knowledge Of.
