PRIVACY.
There is no more degrading influence
in the land than that of newspapers
given over’to the interests of petty gos
sip mean cariosity, and idle scaiulles.
The pandering to the most pitiable in
stincts in fallen human nature, the itch
for petty gossip, small, unworthy curi
osities, and little malignities is and has
long been a reproach to us, aud it is dif
ficult to say where a reform can begin
until we have educated a large enough
body of citizens to realize and resent the
whole tendency and refuse to counten
ance it.
Tiio English, behind their great walls
and hedges,living their Ivies n garden:
supporting a press that takes for granted
a certain level of decency,, reserve and
intelligence in its readers, oan afford a
personal freedom aud independence of ac
tion from which we, as a nation, are de
barred. Public service too often means
that onr wives and our children mast be
secrificed on the altar of pnblic gossip.
There are many innocent and worthy
deeds one might desire to do and yet ab
stain rathei than have them daily ohrou-
ioled to stop up the maw of the vacant
and idle, gasping for gossip. It is dot
the great orimeB, after all, that consume
the soil within a mau. From these ho
may emerge shaken, injured, and yet
agonizingly alive. Bat the petty vices
strangle the soul snrely and slowly, and
leave a mhn a mere outer hulk of a hu
man being. It is often the demand of
orude yputb and half-developed women
that they be understood. All the litera
tare of confession, all the outbursts of
unhappy wives and forsaken Engilsli
women and neglected geniuses, testify
to this inherent instinct in the young to
make a noioe about themselves, to strive,
and cry out upon the world to hear while
they voluminously explain themselves.
This form of publicity, too, is futile and
a mistake. There comes an inevitable
turning-point. Maturity makes a volte
face; self-knowledge yearns for silence.
There comes an ago at which one is
haunted by the fear that he shall be uu
derstood, and one seeks refuge in the ob
vious rather than submit to publicity.
When a man really comes to know him
self he prefers to do it in silence. There
is a kind of joy in private pursuits, an
interest attaching to personal emotions,
power of growth in reserve which
warns him front the mere dissipating of
energies in explanations.
Youth may fancy any mention better
than none, and that auy form of notori
ety confers distinction, but it is an una
voidable truth that those of whom there
is most to say are those who most iteraisj
tently court privacy. The reason is ou
the face of it. It is the half-grown, the
incomplete, and inadequate life that
seeks support outside. The distraction
of gossip and unending small activities
aud cariosities save such beings from
the emptiness of themselves. The puf
dug and blowing and steaming is a
method of letting off energy which con
tainod might move an engine.
Power is reserve and reserve is power
The weak man aud the ignorant mau
overflow with explanations and auto
biographical data, but that which makes
a life well worth living out is the quiet
growth iu understanding, the penetrat
ing to the meaning hidden behind ap
pearanoe, the reconciliation with one’s
own soul aud an energetic carrying out
of that soul’s purposes. This is not ac
complished by noise and distraotion; it
is accomplished by the quiet gathering
iu of the powers, by an exclusive choice
of plaoes and pursuits, by the habit of
listening to the inward voices of the
silence.
A habit of gossip and of petty curios
ity marks a face with futile, weakened
wrinkles and a form with relaxed and
shapeless outlines ;it besmirches a whole
neighborhood or society; it dooms a
people to futility aud oblivion. It is by
no haphazard chance that the Spartans
and the Athenians have left us winged
words in which their whole national,
life seems to be summed up. It means
something of the national fibre and
vigor that every little English boy knows
that England expects him to do his
duty.—Harper’s Weekly.
