Witness my band and the seal of said Court, this Jan. 30, 1905. L. TURNER, Clerk S. C. O. C. 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.
