MADAM SCANDAL.
A long time ago, in the western par,
of England, there lived an uged couple
whose time passed away since carl
youth iu the every day round of farm
life, and who had never been known tn
have the least ill feeling towards each
other, since the time when pood old
Parson Harlot bad united them in the
holy bonds of wedlock, twenty five years
before. So well was the tact of their
conjugal haiipiness known that they
were spoken of far and near as tho hap
niet nair in Enirlaiid. Now the Devil
(es'-use the abrupt mention of his name)
had been trying for twenty years to
cPMtri what is called a "fuss in the fam
ily" between these old companions.
Put. much to his mortification, ho had
not been able to induce the old gentle
man to L'l umblo about, breakfast being
too late or the old woman to give a sin
gle curiaiu lecture.
After repeated efforts, the Pevil
became discouraged, and had he not
been a person of great determination, he
would doubtless given the work up in
despair. One day as he walked along
in a very suily mood after another at
tempt to get the old lady to quarrel
about the pigs getting into the yard, he
met an old ladv. a neighbor of the aged
"Yes."
Isn't Deacon W. making plenty of
bad whiskey ?"
"Yes."
" ull. what is the matter, my highly
honored master ?"
"Everything isgoingon well enough,"
replied the Devil, '-but (and be looked
as sour as a monkey on a crab apple tree)
old Blueford and his wife over here are
injuring the cause terrib v bv their bad
example ; and alter trying four years to
induce them to do right, I must say U
consider them hopeless."
The hag stood a moment in deep
thought. j
"Aic you sure you have tried every
way '!" ;
-Every way T can think of."
"Aieyoii c rtaiu ?"
"Y.s."
-Well,-' replied hhe, "if you
pn uiise to in .ike me a present of a
pair of shoes, iu case I succeed, I
make tin- attempt iny-el'", and spe
will
new
will
if I
can raise quarrel between them "
To this reasonable request tho Devil
gladly assented The old hag went her
way to old Blueford's bouse, and found
Mis. Blueford busily engaged in petting
things ready for her husbaud's comfort
on bis return from work. After the
uuai compliments had p;.ssed. the fol.
lowing dialogue took place :
"Well, friend B., you and Mr. B.
have lived a long time together."
"Five and tweuty years, come No
vember.'' said she.
"Aud all this imo you have never
had a quairel '!"
"Not uue."
"1 uui truly glad to hear it," contin
ued the hag ; "I comider it my duty to
warn you, though this it the case, you
must not expect it to be always. Have
you uot observed that of late Mr. R. has
grown pevish and sulleu at times ?"
"A very litilo so," observed Mrs.
' Bluelord.
"1 kuew it," continued the hag, "and
let me warn you to be ou your guard."
".Mrs. IS. did think .-he had better do
so, and asked advice us to bow she
should manage the case."
"Have you not noticed," said the hag,
"that your buabuud has a bunch of long
harsh hair growing uudcr the chin, side
of his throat?"
"Yes."
"These hairs are the cause of the
trouble, und as long us they remain, you
bud better louk out. Now us a friend
1 would advise you to cut them off the
firs' time you get a chance, and thus end
the trouble, und u long us they remain,
you hud better look out."
Soon alter this, the hag started for
home, aud made it convenient to meet
Mr. H. on the way. Much the same
talk in relation to his domebtic happiness
passed between him and the old woman
i "But, friend Blueford," said she, "I
think it my duty as a Christian, to warn
you to be ou your guard, for 1 tell you
your wile intends your ruiu."
Old Mr. B. was very much astonish
ed, yet be could not wholly discredit her
words. When he reached home, he
threw himself on a bed iu perplexity,
und feigning himself asleep, studied the
mutter over iu his mind. His wife
thtuking this a good opportunity for cut
ting off tho obnoxious huir, took her
husband's razor, und crept softly to his
side. Now the old ludy wus much
frightened at holding a razor so close to
her husband's neck ; and her hand was
not o steady as it ouoe wa ; bo, bo'.weu
the two, she went to work very awk-

wardly, and pulled the hairs, instead o
cutting them off P. opened his eye
and there stood his wife with a razor a
his throat. After what had been toh
'dm, and seeing this, he jould notdoub
but that she intended to murder him
ile sprang from the bed with horroi
and no explanation or entreaty coul
convince hiiu to the contrary. So iron
hat time there was jaw. jaw, quarrelling
and wrangling ull tho time.
With delight tho Devil heard of the
success of the faithful emissary, ami
Incut hc-r word if she would meet him
at the end of tho lane, at a certain time
he would pay her the shoes. At the ap
pointed time she reparcd to the spot,
and found the Devil at the place (Ie
put the shoes on a pole, and standing on
the opposite side of the fence, banded
them over to her. She was much pleas
ed with them they were exactly the
thing.
-Rut there is one thing, Mr. Devil. I
would like you to explain; that is, why
you hand them to me on a stick ?"
"Very easy to explain ; rejdied he.
"Any one who has tho cunning and
meanness to do as you have done, don't
get nearer than twenty feet to me." So
saying, be fled in terror.
After a while the old woman died,
and when she applied for admission to
the lower regions, tho Devil would
not let her in, for fear she might de
dethrone him, as she was so much his
superior fcu the old woman is yet con
demned to wander over the world, crea
ting quarrels and strife in peaceful lam.
ilies and neighborhoods.
Would you know her name ?
It is Madam Scandal. When she
died, the little Scaudals wero left or
phans, but tho Devil, in consideration of
past services done by tho mother, adop.
ted them ; and so you see he is father to
that respectable class called scandal
mongers.
Reader, don't you know somo of the
family ?
