Thei Ncw Yorit Sun very pertinently remarks that v£ people would! pay more attention to their own-bus hi ess, and inter fere less with their neighbors’, there would be'more peace and more happiness in the world.! Much of the discomfort, and most of the "disputes which vex families, com munities, and even nations, spring from an intermeddling spirit, Uow many en mities [arc created in social life, by a few busy-bodies who spend their time in col lecting and disseminating petty slanders ? How often arc those who should be friends estranged, and the peace of fami lies disturbed by the wanton tongues of those nuisances called “ gossips It is tjieir delight to create distrust and to defame cliaractor—to find some fault, some little error, in the conduct of their neighbors. Like carrion-birds, they go about searching for something putrid or unclean upon which to feed their deprav ed appetites. A,nd, as it is in the narrow circle of private life, so we find it to be :in the broader circle of public .life. In Church matters —in Stoic mattcrs-J-ih all organizations—Wc meet wiih “ mischief makers,” and sec the deplorable affects of their malign influence. There is a class of popple—and unfortunately they are numerous—who cannot live at peace with their 'fellow-men. They seem to take pleasure in making divisions and sowing the sheds of dissension —but their pleas ure breeds only discontent. Selfish, un satisfied, devoid of truth or honor, they tormept themselves while tormenting others. To counsel those in whom the habit of intermeddling and the love of slander has become confirmed, to mind their own business, would be advice thrown away; but itj may be useful to warn the well dis posed to avoid such persons. The wise man pas said that “ the words of a tale bearer are as wounds and many are the wounds which tale-bearers inflict. I'o parents, therefore, and to teachers of the young, wc would say, ‘‘Never encourage a child in tale-bearing.” The foundation of tho habit is laid*in early life, and too many parents implant the .vice in the children by countenancing their tendency to invent or carry tales. They may not think when they arc giving a willing ear to thp child’s story that they are fostering a habit which shall ■ mar the character throughout life. , “ strain up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old he W&1 not depart from it.” Ifjthe injunction with regard to the right* training of children .were generally followed, the promise connected titb it would be fulfilled; and we should have many more good men and women; more gopff oitizens ; more and aoclal happinessj jpqre olmritahle feelingj less religjdus bittemes and strife; and less political animosity. The law of love wopld more prevail, and the fierce and of political pactizanship would not prenoprihate in opr public councils. ■ iiave Jf&eeiyed the first number of the Huntingdon, by A.

Post Master General Holt has decided thatthe people of Virginia have a right, acepi&iitg *»**»« laws iof the State, to for bid t|ie introduction and dissemination of within their bor- contain anti-slavery senti and, df brough there in the mails, they may, by appropriate proceedings, have them destroyed. Acting upon this decision a PostMaSter in that State has returned sever*! copies of the New Tork Trtbuntf addressed to subscribers in the neighborhood of his office, informing the editor that said papers will not be deliver ed. This ia ccrtaiuly carrying the thing a little too far, and it must, in the .end, op erate'to the injury of the State. How are post masters to know what packages con tain incendiary documents; pr sentiments antagonistic to slavery, unless they open them. And it is to be presumed that here after all letters, papers, packages, &c., that paie through Virginia post offices, are to ba> subjected to the inquisitorial inspec tion of the Post Masters of those offices, before, they are forwarded or delivered ? If such is to he the case, what will be the effect ? All freedom of thought, speech and writing will be destroyed. It would hc nofching less than a despotism, equal tuif not more tyrannical than any species which now curses the most darkened cor ner of the world. The people would be at the mercy of the post masters, because they have authority to break open all mail matter, including the most private and sa cred letters. But the people of Virginia can not endure such a law, or such liber ties with their private affairs, any better than the people at the North, and we have no idea that they will long stand it. ■ A Remarkable Document, Has been received. through the mails, by many Irishmen. It purports to be from a committee of the United Constitu tional Association, a body organized to protect southern interests and has reached the north from southern post offices. The object of the document is to induce Irish men to avenge the south by destroying the property of northern abolitionists and frccsoilcrs. It starts with the claim that the Irish are true friends to the south j and says, “ whenever a stack or cotton gin is burned at the south by free soil emissaries, let a large factory or plethoric store* or an immense granary, in' New York or Boston, be given to the flames.” It also advises the Irish tg mob demonstrations, for the purpose of obtain ing increased wages. The origin of the document is not known Whether such an association exists, or whether the mat ter is a .trick of abolitionist or hot pro slavery fanatics, cannot yet be determined.

Ityn&ynoi beatniks to add a passage from the Boston Fast, given recently in an article on the sale of books : of Washington Irving’s irorks — exclusive of the ‘‘Life of Washington,” and “The Sketch Book.”—there have been sold with in the last ten years," twenty-two thousand seta of each; .Of the “Sketch Book” thirty-fife thousand copies have been distributed i of‘Wash ington* forty-two thousand seta of five volumes each, and at prices ranging from seven to eigh- dollars per sot. This gives a grand total of live hundred and seventy-five thousand vol umes disposed of under G. P. Putnam’s man agement since 1848. Meanwhile Mr. Irving has > received, as a reward of his brain work, the snug little sum of seventy-five thousand dollars in the past ten years. A curious scrap of secret literary history is the fact that at the expiration of Irving’s contract with Lea & Blanchard, in 1844, there occurred a hiatus of five years, into which no other publishers ventured to leap.— During this time the genial author of “Sun nyside,” then in Spain, imagined himself obso lete and forgotten, bis works being almost en tirely out of the market, and no proposals being made to him for their republioation. In 1849 Mr. G. P. Putnam tendered to Mr. Irving a for mal offer to assume the reissue of the various works in uniform and attractive style, which proposition the great writer accepted without suggesting a single change of terms. And the immense sales I have mentioned are the fruits of the contract then entered into. Tlie Labor of Making Hoops. A correspondent of the Hartford Times gives the following curious facts respecting the man ufacture of steel boops for ladies’ skirts, at the mill of Henry S. Washburn, of Worchester, Mass.:—He showed us a specimen of No. 62 iron wiro, finer than a hair. It weighed only seven ounces, and was sixty-eight thousand nine hundred feet, or thirteen miles, fifteen rods, twelve feet and six inches in length ! It was drawn cold from a piece of iron one-half inch in diameter. Mr. Washburn manufactures twenty thousand yards $ day of steel crinoline, or flat wire, which is hard tempered and all ready for the ladies’ skirts. The manufacture of this,kin dof wire, or hoops, is immense. Mr. Washburn estimates that at least five thousand tons of steel and iron are used annually in this way for the Indies of tn© : United States, South America and Mexico. It is Sold, when covered, at wholesale, at about fifty cents A pound, and about three-quarters of a pound is required for each. Indeed, we suppose that his estimate of five thousand tons of boops a year is quite too low. There are, undoubtedly, ten millions of females in this country and the South American States who wear hoops. Many of them wear out half a dozen skirts a year ; suppose the av erage to be three a year to each, and that the iron of each weighs only half a pound—we have fifteen million of pounds of steel and iron hoops used by the ladies of the United States and South American States every year, or seven thousand five hundred and fifty-two tons costing §7,500,000. A Rich Sensation.— Canandaigua, New York, has a sort of Sickles transaction to gossip over. A Mr. and Mrs. Warren were invited to u party, but the wife persuaded ter husband to attend it without her, she being indisposed. Mr. War ren consehted, but on the way met a Mr. Phelps, a bachelor of that beautiful village, and a very prominent and esteemed citizen; and having his suspicions aroused, followed Phelps, saw him enter his—Wiirren’s—house, have a friendly teU-a-tcte with Mrs. Warren, after which the guilty pair retired to Mr. Warren’s bed. Mr. Warren knocked, but receiving no answer, broke in the door, confronted Phelps before he could escape from the bedroom, and beat him “to a jelly,” The Rochester Union says Phelps’ outcry brought in Warren’s son, and the father told him to jjet a carving-knife, but the boy would not, telling kis father that ho would be hung if he killed Phelps. He escaped but Warren again caught him and thrashed him once more, and did not “let up” till an officer interfered. This was the evening before Thanks giving, and the affair was discussed over the turkey at most of the tables. Phelps is wealthy. Enormous Growth of Tape-Worm. —A very remarkable fact in relation to tho value of an orgeat, or mucilage of squash seeds, in expelling the truly frightful and singularly organized worm, which takes possession of the stomach and intestines, occurred in the neighborhood of Boston. A lady who hatT suffered exceedingly from the presence of this parasite, guided prin cipally by tho printed directions given by Rich ard Soule, Esq., of this city, who has been un tiring in his humane efforts to make the remedy known, has good reason for believing she final ly triumphed, and is now free from further an noyance in that respect. Her husband stated to a physician on Wednesday, that at least one thousand feet of tape-worm been voided by ta king the new preparation. One hundred feet have on several occasions been expelled, after taking a dose. From, an inspection -of portions preser ved in alcohol, it seems probable that several worms of uncommon length have existed in the intestinal tube at the same time. The annals of medicine hardly present a parallel in this or any other country.— Boston Transcript. BThe accusation against Dr. J. C. Ayer, of Lowell, for stabbing, R. L. Fay, Jr., Treasu rer of the Middlesex Mills, has been withdrawn because the prosecutor found that no complaint against him could be sustained. The fact is that Dr. Ayer merely defended himself as best he 'might, with a pen-knife he happened to have in his band, against a cowardly assault made upon him from-behind, with the premeditated inten tion to dishonor and punish him for the expo sure he has made and is making of the wrongs practiced by the officers upon bur manufactu ring corporations.
