Thff'duiie* odd obligation df social life art
often misunderstood, as well as sadly violated.
The confidence of friends .is abused, and the
hypocritical, and lbe ma-_

pressions, Uttered, jffcrhaps, in moments of ex
citemeiil, (oprova_ka[distf Ust, lometH jealousy,
and thus onus# bitterness and i|l-wiH- It has
been well and 'forcibly said, “that to repeal
what you have hoard in social intercourse, is
sometimes a deep ireachecy.” The idle tat*
tier, who. runs from door to door, listens ea
gerly to nil ibm is said,then repents, exag
gerntes, or by wicked iosinualions, convoy’s
a meaning that was never intended, is a source
of infinite mischief, and often of bitter and
hopeless feuds between neighbors and fami
lies. We can conceive of no treachery more
deplorable or censurable, lhan lhal which abu
ses the frankness and confidence of an honest
nature, and by persuasion or distrupt,-cre
ales an offence and inflicts a wound Where
nothing of (he kind was intended. Thus a
confidential conversation will be repeated,
with the most solemn injunction not to betray
the mischief maker, who.only tells the Whole
truth, but adds some unauthorized interpreta
tion, or describes the manner as having been
offensive, when the fact was exscily other
wise. Some dark suggestion, h nt, or inuen
do, is also made, and thus a playful remark,
or a frank expressldn is tortured into .a slan
der, an insult, or a slight. The breach thus
created—unwitting'v created, so far as the
original parts ire c-meerned —is widened from
day to day by a double sys'i-m of treachery
and betrayal; the mischiel maker professing
to bo confidential wiih parties, and joining
secresy upon both. Hence, hearts become
estranged, friendship broken, and affection is
stifled.
There nre we are aware, many mischief
makprs who are so, thoughtlessly, foolishly,
and without any deep, deliberate, or serious
design of doing evil. They are simply blab,
bcrs, or tattlers, who lack discretion, judg
ment and common sense, and who have nev
er been able to practice i he philosophy of hol
ding thi,ir tongues. But there are others who
"are subtle, wily and adroit, and who, as if
prompted bysomo incarnate fiend, seek for
and study every apnortuniiy to undermine,
underrate, darken character, destroy reputa
tion, impair confidence and sever friendship.
We-c Mi-conceive of no darker illustration
Of human depravity, There is scarcely an
Individual in existence who could not be in
jured seriously, if not fatally, by such insidi
qus and double-faced* guile. It is impossible,
at all limes, to be watchful and wary, espo
ctilly in social life ; and when the intercourse
free, frank and undisguised, ut_ such limes
the thoughts and feelings are apt to be ex
pressed with (he utmost freedom, and even
weakness and prejudices of cherished friends
to be alluded to not in bitterness, or weakness,
but m confidence, sincerity And sympathy.—
I' however,la malicious mischief mak-r hap
pens lo he at hand, it is ihe easiest thing in
the world lo misrepresent the real fact of the
case, so as to annoy, irritate and inflame, lo
create a sentiment of dislrusi and of cold
ness, and thus to lav the foundation of a mis
understanding which, if followed up, isshre
to end in enniily'nnd ill will. Some person*
are, rnorcov ■, Quite sensitive on certain sub
jects, while other* are particularly credulous.
Tfie mischief maker is sure lo discover all
(Jlis'antf play Tiis game accordingly.
■There might bo many illustrations pointed
out; suffice*!! to say, the vice is heartless,
cYuel and dangerous, and its victims directly,
or vodi/eclly, may be counted by thousands.
It is such an easy thing lo wound a sensitive
spirit. It is so light a thing lo slain or soil
tne reputalfon ; confidence may be so readily
disturbed; suspicion may be so promptly ex
cited. How many merchants have had their
credit ruined; how many honest men have
had their prospecls blighted, and Ihcir fami
lies subjected to all the horrors of poverly;
how many unkindnesses have been provoked ;
how many familee have been made miserable
by the thoughtless, or the vicious, the heed
less or the crafty and malignant propensity of
the mischief maker. The poor wretch who,
in a moment of necessity, and laboring under
the horrors of hunger, commits some paltry
theft, with the object of satisfying the cravings
of nature, is promptly arrested, eu.-mc.' 1 mid
laot lo “durance vile.” Bt h■ « mmy dr
stroyers of ihe peace of lamdics, dis irlcri
of Ihe happiness of households, in hrrT mir
_ al auaisins of character, perform their wick
ed Whrk so artfully, stealthily and hypocriti
cally that they see the ruin and the wreck
thpy rnake, and yet contrive in escape the
responsibility. Lai th’-m be assured, howev
er, that a day of reckoning will come.
A WIFE’S INBLUENCE.
A woman, in many instances, baa her
husband’s fortune in her power, because she
may or she my not conform to his circum
stances, This is her first duty, and it ought
to be her pride. No v passion for luxury or
display ought to tempt her for a moment to
deviate in the least degree from this line of
conduct. She will find her respectability in
it. And other course is wretchedness itself,
and inevetably leads to ruio.
Nothing can be more miserable than to
struggle to keep up appearances. If it could
sdcceed, it would cost more than it is worth;
as it never can, its failure, of the deepest
mortification. Some of the aublimest exhi
bitions of human virtue have been made by
women, who have been precipitated sudden,
ly from, wealth and splendor to absolute want'.
Then a"rtian’s fortunes are, in a manner,
in the hands of his wife, inasmuch as his
own power of exertion depends on lie.r.—
His moral strength is inconceivenbly hr.
creased by her sympathy, her council, ho
aid. She can aid him immensely by reliov
ing him of every care which she is capable
of taking upon herself. Hia own employ,
menu am usually such as to require his
whole time and his whole mind.
A good wife will never suffer her hu«'

Wasn’t Much on Figures.
An old woman keeping a so called, "crocks
ncy stand,” was one day accosted by a wag
with—
“ How do you sell these oranges 1* ■ | '
“Two cents,* she replied.
“Well,’ said he taking tip one .and turn
ing it over in his hand, “how do sell this
cake!”
“The same, price.”
“Suppose I give you back tho orange and
take the cake 1”
“Very well.”
“Is this pie two cents T”
“Yes.”
“Well, I’ll lake (his pie after all instead
of the cake. Whal do you ask for cider I”
“Two cents a glass.”
“ I’ake the pie back and give me a drink
of cider.”
“Certainly.”
A glass was filled and handed lo the cus
tomer, who, after swallowing the came,
smacking his lips with great gusto, was de
liberately walking off, when he was accosted
with—
“Pteaso, master, you hav’nt paid' me for
your cider.”
Our friend coolly observed.
“What should I pay fori”
“The cider, lo be sure."
“Did’nt I give yotf-the pie for it."
"Yes, but you did'nl pay for ifig,cake."
“Very well, I exchanged the cake for it.”
“I gave the orange for it.”
“The orange is two cents.”
“Well, why should I pay for ill I did’nt
eat it did 1 ?
“No mailer,” exclaimed the dame, no
mailer; ihere’s a mistake somewhere hut 1
can’t see il; I never was much on jiggers ;
howsomever you need’nt call agath.
A bashful Yockel was paying his addresses
to a gay lass of the-country, who had long
disponed of bringing things lo a crisis.—
Yockel called one day when she was alone
at home. After settling the merits of the
weather, Miss said, looking slyly inlo his
face,.
"I dreamed of you Inst night.”
“Did you I —why now 1”
“Yes, 1 dreamed you kissed me."
“Why now J—what did you dream your
mother said 1”
“Oh, I dreamed she wasn’nal home.”
A light dawned on Yockel’s intellect, and
directly something was heard to crack—per
hapTTrwas Yockel’s whip, perhaps not.
“Boss, 1 want twenty-five cents.”
“Twenty-five cents ! How soon do you
want it Jack I”
“Next Tuesday,”
“As soon as that!—You can't have it.—
I have told you often that when you are in
want of so large an amount of money you
must give me at least four week’a notice!’’
I» a vplage in the Southern part of the
Stole, a merchant had got painted On'the
fences round the village —"Go to Mdrkham't
to trade."
A keen, quick-witted rival followed around
after him and painted under the line —"if you
want lo get skinned.”
If vanity overturns not our virlues it cer
lainly makes them loiter.
