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.

"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.

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

: 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,

there was a new made grave near his
residence containing a suit cf " store
