How happy are they who at breaking of morn, Can join with the lark, in the praises on high; Day comes to all such, in its freshness and bloom, Then meadow and mountain in loveliness vie. How fair are tho tints of the orient sky As the glorious sun rises up to the view ! The fresh morning air—O how bracing and sweet! How fair are the flow'rets, besprinkled with dew! Awake! sluggard, awake! from thy slumbers arise, No longer repine, but life's vigor renew; 0 how lovely the morn ! how much there is lost lly those who the world's lazy habits pursue. Written for the Columbia Spy. "Talebearers and Tattlers." The words of a talebearer are ai wounds and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.— Prorerbs Ile Mat goeth about as a talebearer revealeth seeretl. therefore meddle tun with him that ilatter- CHI with his lip?. Pror. so: 9. If there is, among all the readers of this paper, a talebearer, tattler or in veterate newsmonger, I do hope that he or she will read this short article-- Not that there is anything very new or forcible to be found in it, but perhaps some thought may induce reflection upon the magnitude of an evil which is often too lightly regarded. Besides of the two passages placed above I could have produced scores from the same book, similar in spirit, and all testifying strongly that the wise man believed talcb arers caused strife in their communities. In every neighborhood there are persons who go about day after day telling at one house what they heard at another, and if they can manage to get hold of any rumor or fact, particularly unpleasant, it is narrated with increased eagerness and zest. If they happen to overhear but part of a statement they guess what the remainder should be, and straightway they make haste to re lieve their over-burdened winds, by tell ing it to the the first acquaintance they meet. If two friends should, in a moment of excitement exchange angry words, these officious tattlers take care- 1 there shall be no after reconcilliation, by intimning one party or their friends that the other used such and such language or made such threats. If on hearing this, the person makes au angry reply, that too, is reported at once, and always with exaggeration. Of course the quarrel cannot be made up after hearing these statements. And it is thus that husband and wife, brother and sister, lovers and friends are often seperated. A hasty word is incautiously uttered, and the talebearer hearing it, hurries off to re peat it, adding suggestions of his or her own, to the person spoken of. A cool ness gradually springs up, visits are less frequent, and in a little while the two who were but a month before fast friends are changed to bitter enemies. The hypocritical gossip will often by an in sinuation, sow the seeds of doubt and distrust, and make a wound that will rankle and fester until the loving heart is filled with bitterness and grief—as "Miss Mary, I thought you told me Harry never drank? He, does not, but why do you make the remark I I saw him coming from a bar room late last night, but of course he aught Zucca been there on business. 45 A. M 12 10 P. r 3 00 P. \ I Alt! the envenomed malice of that :truel sentence. There is no use in say ing "don't believe talebearers—don,t attach importance to what they may say," for the heart must listen when the loved one is spoken of, and despite our efforts there will be some time in our lives, a spot in our hearts where the poisoned seed will take root. Faith, confidence, strong, illimitable, undoubt ing confidence in those who are dearest to us, will alone enable us to turn away from and scorn the mischief-making tattlers, and everybody should strive to posess that confidence. Every respectable person, every man and woman, who values the peace of the community in which they dwell, should 'exert all their influence to discredit the stories of the pests I have spoken of,aud frown the meddling tattlers from their midst, fbr no one can tell who will be the next victim to the gossiping crew. No talebearer will ever admit that he or she is such. Oh ! no, that class will repel the charge with an appearance of most virtuous indignation, declaring that they do hate tattlers, and they never carry news, "but I don't mind whisper ing to you that Mr. X was seen stagger ing last night, and they do say that his wife is in an awful scold, always abusing him, and that's what makes him drink, —but don't ever mention that I told you this,"—and away goes this person who Jae try. 'Written for the Sp) Early Rising. BY EVA ALICE 1 t4l fal. BY 7ALERY [WHOLE N UMBER 1,933 : does bate tattlers, to tell the same thing to some one else, with a similar injune- Lion as to socresy. Now don't you know reader, that from that time Mr. X and his wife were watched, and that their enemies rejoiced Ito hear of their abort-comings ? Many an honest hard working man has found his customers leaving him one by one, and his business dying away without any cause known to him, but probably in a year or two afterwards when entirely broken up, he has found out that some disgraceful charge was being secretly circulated against him at that time. Some worthy, pure hearted, I woman supporting her family by keep. lug boarding house for example, discor'- ers her boarders quitting her house, and after all are goue,learns that some shame less gossip has barely insinuated that ;she was acting strangely. The poision spread, the report flies abroad and in a few days the rumor has it that she has lost her mind. A young lady, as pure as snow, warm hearted and true, finds herself tabooed by female associates and deserted by ad mirers, and after months of wretched ness and mortification, finds that an in sinuation covertly whispered, that she was noting rather bold, has grown into the report that she has committed some gross impropriety. I could go on thus, enumerating real and suppositious cases, of the great evils caused by tale-bearing,but every one can trace the consequences of this hateful practice to their certain result. Oh !if but a tithe of the blasted reputations, broken hearts and desolate lives caused by this terrible crime—it is truly such— could be written down people would shudder at the fearful revelation, and shrink hack from the presence of the ma licious tale-bearer, as from a leper. The scorn and righteous indignation of every true man and woman would be visited upon all of the shameless class, and they would be placed under the ban, and driven out to herd among themselves, dying at last by their own hands, the only hands black enough to touch them. I use harsh language bat the subject de mands it. The misery caused by tale bearing cannot be told, for in every vil lage and city in the ;vide world, the suf fering victims of this poisonous breathe ing are to be found. The wards of our hospitals have gibbering idiots and rav ing maniacs, who were once intelligent men and women, but reputation, friends and business were driven from them by cunningly devised rumors eirculakni by secret enemies—and when all they held dear was gone,reason fled from its throne. Yes! I do use harsh language, and if I thought it would impress my readers with a sense of the enormity of this of fence against society, I would use lan guage still more severe. The wise man., whose words I have placed at the begin ning of this article, did not speak of tale bearers and tattlent with any delicacy.— Ile used harsh lansnage and all through the Bible these pestilent trouble•causing creatures aro spoken of with severity.— In all ages and among all poople the evil has been regarded as a serious one, but its dreadful consequences are not yot properly estimated, and until they are, the practice will not cease. Let every reader remember that ho who ruins a character, commits—not an indiscretion but a crime. Let every one take heed of what his tongue utters, and be careful that no word is spoken hastily,for there arc per sons who thow , htlessly, and without de signing to injure reputation or cause sorrow, will report what they have heard or think. These are not so bad as the others for they talk without malice, but oftentimes they create as much mischief. Towevor, my paper is exhausted—some other time I will allude again and at more length to this second class. S'ettoxa.—A. well-dressed gentleman of Darlington, Wis., who eras fond of kittens,discovered one upon the sidewalk, which he embraced for a moment and then let go, starting rapidly for hiS home, men, women and children holding their breath while he passed.

No clue has been discovered either as to the motives or identity of the assas sin, who is believed to have escap4d through an open window.
