Mr. So and So waa drunk tbs
other night."
"Yes, so I’ve heard."
"I always said he'd be a drunk
ard ever sines he was a child."
"But bavs yon beard the latest?
Mr. Blank and hit wife have
parted "
“Sure they have?"
"Yea; and his daughter married
mighty no count man, but then
gneis he's as good as she is."
“All mighty trifling people.'
And on and on goes the sharp
tongue till an entire community
ia arraigned before a depraved,
reeking brain and every poor,
misguided unfortunate comes in
a share of tne venomous dose.
Every mistake of a family, every
known falsehood is enlarged and
disc owed.
None are exempt, not even the
excellent young merohant who has
forth every effort for fair
doings.
Tbs blithe and gay young lady
ith laughing eyea, frank and
open face, pure heart and apotless
the foil bloom power of
creation’! morning—even she is
free from the rasping tongue
are held up for ridiouling and
lying lips. Those who have made
mistakes and the family bearing a
well kept mystery is misrepreseu*
tsd and a target for all aorta of
conjeotnrea. No character, how*
ever noble ita oalling, ia over
looked. The paitor is a special
topio. His every word in an
nnguarded moment is dwelt upon
and perverted. Many people
delight and feed npon such as a
fowl npon putrefying carcasses.
Later their ohildren catoh the
spirit and follow in tbsir abomina
ble footsteps.
Once a woman waa praying for
the forgiveness of sins and con
fessed that she bad slandered
another. The priest told her to
I go and scatter a hand fnll of
mnstard seed before her door end
gather them all one by one.
She did soatter them but
breese made it impoiaible to pick
them all np. She told the good
man and he said: “thus is it with
the words of slander thou beat
spoken.”
So it is, friends, the innocent
ones suffer and the slander cannot
be dispelled.
Better think again of that
resolution to cease speaking evil
of others. Better think more
serionsly of yonr conversation in
the past and dispel the evils of
those slanders. Better curb the
tendency, or ere long some fair
oreature is injured by the product
of a degenerate brain and lying
lip*. Better dwell upon the good
of people and enlarge npon their
better traits. »

What They Say.
From the Gincinneti Enquirer.
The Old Bachelor—
When a man hasn’t enough
worry he should marry.
Many a woman keeps a secret in
a bottle labeled “hair dye."
Bitter are the domestic sweet*
whioh are preserved in family
jar*.
The only thing that equals the
warmth of a woman’s love is her
temper.
No woman who ia true to her sex
will button anything she can pin.
Yon may drive a girl to board
ing school, but you esu’t make
her think.
If a woman hasn’t anything else
to talk about she talks about all
the time.
If a woman has no troubles of
her own she goes to a neighbor
and borrows some.
A woman can do anything with
the aid of a hairpin—except
sharpen a lead penoil.
Many a man is in advance of his
age—and many a woman is several
years behind hers.
The woman who doesn't think
some other woman homelier than
herself has yet to be born.
With the exception of chocolate
caramel* there ia nothing so sweet
to a girl as lore’s yonng dream.
A woman’s idea of a good
eonversationaliit is a man who
oan think of something to say
while she pauses to regain her
breath.
Take the baby talk a woman
ones in conversing with an infant,
give it the proper pitch aud you
will have a first-class college yell.
The Spinster—
The meaner men try to be the
leu they enjoy it.
It isn’t so much what a man
thinks as wbat he does that counts.
The more worthleu some men
are the longer they seem to live.
The father of a bright boy is a
firm believer in hereditary smart
ness.
An idea most feel awfully
lonesome when it gets into some
men’s heads
When a man doesn’t feel well
he always aays he hu been work
ing too bard.
If man is really made of dust
that explains why so many men
are always dry.
If meu could read each other’s
minds there would be a radical
change in thinking.
Ask the average man where he
got his umbrella and he will
hesitate before replying.
The man who doesn’t know
what he wants ia always kicking
because he doesn’t get it.
A man who accompanies his
wife to a bargain sale is about the
cheapest looking thing in sight.
The parson adds one to one end
the sum is one; the divoroe judge
subtraota one from one and two
remain.
A man ia apt to learu a good
many thing* from bis ohildren
until they get old enough to know
aa little a* he doe*.
Some men seem t& think be
cause self-preservation ia tbs first
law of nature that it ia neoeuary
