You may understand better precise
ly what comes under the head of
gossiping, if Igive you some examples
of it.
In a certain small thickly-settled
toWn, there lives a family, consisting
of a man; his wife,and his wife’s sister.
•He has a little shop, a jeweller's; he
earns enough to live most comfortably,
with the help of his wife and sister,
vvho are noted for their industcy and
economy. One would think they had
nothing to ao but to enjfiy' tbeir own
comfort8,and aid and. pity thbse less
favoured■ • than them selves.. But in
stead of all this, they volunteer to su
pervise all the sms, follies, and short
coinings of their neighbours. The
husband'is hot a silent partner. He
does his full share of the low work ot
this gossiping trie. Go to see them
when will, you may hoar thelastnews
of every family within half a mile.
For example; as follows: J..
. , * Mr. Broad gave ono hundred and
fifty dollars forius new wagon,and; he
bad po need of a new one; the old
one has not ran more than two years/
‘ Mrs. Day hasgot a ne w hired help;
bat she won’t stay long: it's come and
go there.* ’
‘Mrs. Fraley had another newgown
at meeting yestesday, which makes
tbe.fifth inless than a year, and every
one of Tier girls had new ribands on
their bohnetx. It is a good thing to
have rich friends; but, for my part, I
He actually has locked up all his wife’*
worked, pocket handkerchiefs. Well,
whatever else iny husband complains
of, he cannot find fault with my ex
travagance.*
< Perhaps not; but faults far more
heinous than, extravagance this poor
woman had to account for—-the per
nicious ivords for' which we must be
brought injo judgment.;
I hope it may. appear incredible to
;rou, rty. young friends, that woman,
I lalf way through this short life, with
thev knowledge of }their immortal
destiny, with a world-without them,
and a world within to explore and
make acquaintance with, with the de
lightful interests and {solemn responsi
bilities of parents upon them.should so
dishonor God’s good gift ofthe tongue,
should so waste theirtime, and poison
social life. Rut be on your guard.—
If-your minds are not Employed on
higher objects, and your.nearts on bet
ter things; you will talk &ly about your
friends and ^acquaintance..
The habit of gossiping begins in
youth. I .fence attended a society of
young persons; from thirteen to seven
teen years of age, whq met for bene-
“ _, eht purposes. ; • t; . ,

MCLEOD LIKELY TO BE HUNG.
It appears that the Canadians are
so very loyal, that if they know any
thing in tavor of McLeod they refuse
to tell it. A commission was taken at
the Niagara circuit to examine cer
tain witnesses in Canada on Vhe part
of the prisoner. The object was L to
prove that he was not ono of the party
that destroyed -the Caroline. , Mr.
Sherwood, of Toronto, was appointed
commissioner to' take the testimony,
and the Hon. J. Elmsley was one the
witnesses to^be examined* . Both of
these gentlemen Have. put^themselves
upon their dignity and refused to act;
They think it derogatory to tlie Bri
tish crowp, either to take or: give evi-
dence in favor of one of their 'fellow
Subjects indicted formiirder; because,
forsooth, their government, has . :de-
manded that this individual shall lie
taken out ofthe hands of the law.
apprised of the. commis
sion andTR objects by the /Attorney
General.of Canada, they, both: replied
by letter, and let off a world of steam
and loyalty.. Victoria must be proud
of such obedient arid dutiful subjects.
Mr. Elmsley,. >vho forborne reason
has got the word ** honorable** prefix
ed to his name, is particularly fero
cious, *in his refusal to. testify.. He
to’rcquest that you will be pleased
respectfully to inform the government
which you .serve, that the only .way m
which ! can consent to aid in the- re-

the liberation of a British" subject un
justly detained in prison, comes from

We doubt whether! the •* latter^ per
sonage will, feel very much gratified
with this .mocle of . exhibiting their
loyalty on.the part of the commission
er arid the witness. It certainly im
proves his prospect for the gallqtvs ve
