I Tstlling. In nil tho LIck catalogues of vice hish ttnhAppilr debate the aon and daughter or Adam, tattling well nich Doid I no pre eminence. It ia the tnnmnent. the most detectable of all liabiU. and when once contracted. clings,. as it were, with the tenacity of pi n uuiuua. in view qi hi aepraviiy, and of the many fearful vicca follow ing in it train the Lord commanded J.Ioscs to "upeak ' unto tho congrega tion of Inoral and say unto them: Thou ahatt not go up and down as a tftlo borvrcr among the rwonlo." And in tho ficrcd pnalru it is written, Whoso prlf iljr sJaudoreth his neigh bor, him will I cut ofT." Tbe rabid dn, lot loose ia community to bite whatever man or boast he meeU, is not as dangorous as the tattler. The dog kills only tho individual bitten, whilo the tattler's voitom poisons madly aud fatally, the wholo commu nity, llo goaf to hit neighbors, and listens attentively j hears, perhaps, something said that may be used to the disparagement, possibly ruin, of another, which he drinks down with the avidity with which the thirsty toper does tho fiery fluid, and then foes forth frith venomous tongue to disseminata suspicion, distrust and rankling hate, whero before waa the ahodo or neighborly love and confi ding trust Thus I ha iMlfo ftf unfunf V i marred often disrupted, confidence destroyed friends made fwes, discord and Strife created v-nH all th fchjuj- of'the latherof lies uned to destroy all that is lovely aud good report. In the aacred Scriptures it is written, "Behlod we put bits in tho ' horse's mouths that tho mar oboy us, and we turn about their . wholo ' body." Kvon so the tongue is a little membor, and boas tolh great things. Behold how groat a matter a little fire kindleth ; and tbe a.. f a t a A .louguo is a nre, a woria or iniquity. So is the tongue among our members, thnt It dpfileth 1ia wlinla Kn.lr . n.l aotteth on fire the course of nature. , For of every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, aud of things lu the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind; but the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly, evil, full of deadly poison. The tattle may well be comparod to the viper in the fable, that, warmed and brought to lifo by tho caro of its kind-hearted . benefactor turned and stung him to ' (he heart. . I r - 1 A writer in tho Jiurul Home says: 'l have just made gates to replace some old fashioned pairs of bars that I an heartily tired of opening and shut ting. They are cheap, durable and very easily made. Each gato in twelve foot in length by four feet ia height. Five boards lour inches wiJo ' are used, beside batten and . braces. lUttciii should be placed on both nail through. - It does not take more than thirty-three feet of boards, worth perhaps sixty cents, to make eaoli gate. Add to that ten cenU for nails, and theva!ue of one hour of your time, aud you will have the whole ex nenao. A tmtm nf thi ItSnl will mil t " " -r " ' w f ' V u . ast a framed one costing $4, aud as no hingea are used, that expense is saved also. It ia held in )osition by means of a stake driven in the e-round fuur or fire inches from the post ; not in a siraigni line, but a little more than the thickness of the en to to ward the driveway so wheu opened the gate can do lunroa nan war around ana be Carallel with the drive way. It is ept a few inches from the ground by a strip, nailed to both stake and post, on which oue end rests when shut, aud on which it slides half its length aud then swincr round as on a rnvot when opeuod, The strip is usually placed under the second board, in a space arranged for It, by cutting away two of the battens. This strip takes the piace oi ningea. It may not be always true econo , mically that honesty is the best policy, ret tbe balance-sheet of tbe Nonhfield Baa k robbers shows that rascality with them did not pay. The total avails ef the venturo were 5s) cents: expenditures, property abandoued in fliUt, $1,000, tbree men killed, three prisoners with an excellent protect of being hung, and two iu the woods ret to bear from, but eo invested that escape is almost impossible. The census takers of the You us Men's Christian Association of Jersey City, report that there are "thirty-five saloons to each church lu that city." Why a church should have so many . eo suany saloons is something we can't understand. Wo should think lea freuld suffice the largest church in ti e city.
