' ' . ills wickedness is as as it is tnaliciOjU.s. ~ , j,, It might be supposed it At* few would follow a calling sc despicable; but in leality the number of slan derers in not small. Thfcro afe some found in every, Cpimpui 'iv who d light ia .tsiidng petty scandal, and like an .'diets, they always add something of their own to that, which they letetf. Wo fc>gret to say that a large jortlon of this is done by the fairer ;ex. ‘ Wofijeni prover bially love to tajh ,01 each other, and much of what tUey Way. is far fromtlattering. HowmaeV eh nr after:: have been picked to pieces and nt tcrly milled at social tea-drinking* or sewing circles. At such times, the unfortunate who is tried before this dread tribunal, rarely find au advocate to utter a woid to disprove oi extenuate, llell, boul. nnu eau ■ li" art* cad<*d for, •>*’ the accused is condemned without a hearing, I and without reprieve. Thus has j been many a reputation destroyed i and many a heart broken. We knew a maiden fair and love- < ly; golden tresaes clustered on her ! j brow; the stains upon her cheeks j rivaled the first blush of morning in their delicate softness; her merry laugh was like the peal of wedding bells, her voice was as sweet as j notes struck from the lute-strings., As the summers glided by, her heart i seemed to grow more joyous, her i beauty became more riefi and mng jnificenL We experienced delight as we saw time giving increased el egance to tiic form, and imprinting j majesty upon the brow. But while! iwe rejoiced at the radiance of her 1 j beauty, others envied. The scandal ■■ [ monger found a fleck—a mere mote j : upon the otherwise spotless, purity.! : That “trifle, light as air,”, was quick- j | ly on the-tongues of many, amdscon j became confirmation strong as proof; of holy writ. Whispers floated on the air until they reached the ear of the slandered one. Then the roses laded fypm her cheeks, her., once merry laugh became a hollow mourn, aid when death came, as come it soon did, it was welcomed as a kind deliver. How many gentle ones have thus been done to death by slanderoqs Lfougues, the records Q.f Eternity j alone can tell. But beyond all question, they are no small multi Uittade; for slanders there have al ways been, and will always bp.— f Many of those who were supposed ! to die from lingering maladies of the : body, were really victimsiot caluin ry and unjust suspicion. Some net |of innocent frivolity, contorted by ! cruel jealousy into guilt, hi s ofteri ! times proved as fatal to life as tiic j dagger or the ppisoned ichalmo.—- i llumixed falsehood will not hurt,: j but it is falsehood aittully mingled j with truth, that proves baneful.
