| | FEBRUARY 17, (880 GOSSIP.

GossIPING is one .of the great evils of society. It is the frutitful source of much that is mischievous and injuricus, for it ruthlessly snaps asunder the golden thread of friendship and love. As a result of gossip, we see people cherishing feelings of malice and hate—feelings altogether un- worthy of those to whom the great Master has said, ‘‘ Thou shalt love thy neighber asthyself.” This habit of prating about our neighbor's affairs, business calling, character, etc., is to say the least very un- profitable. Those who talk a great deal are not generally very scrupulous about inisrepresentations and exaggeration which are the most respectable modes of lying. Any one, whether he be saint or sinner, can tell innumerable falsehoods in this way with impunity. Idle silly prating never makes the gossiper or the unfortunate ob- ject of gossip any purer or better. If our neighbor’s clothes, er looks, or gait, or character don’t suit our notions it is surely the part of wisdom and eommon sense to leave them alone. ‘‘ If you're the first a fault to see be not the first to make it known.” The subjects of our home and freside talks onght to be of a more elevat- ing character. Religion aims to make men live and walk in love while gossip glories in scattering abroad the vile seeds of malice and hate. Gossip is one of the sure char- acteriatics of a vacant mind. The mind un- fiilled with holy thought and noble aspira- tions will be filled with imaginations, and is hke the troubled sea which cannot rest, and the waters of which cast up mire and dirt. He who bridleth not his tongue must neces- sarily say a great deal that is beth unprofit- able and vain, and is a deceiver, deceiving and being deceived. A still tongue is one of the characteristics of a wise person; while excessive talkativeness is the mark of a fool. Some one very truly says, ‘‘ Wagons are like men, they rattle most when there is nothing in them.” What a power there is in asingle word ; how petent to comfert or distract, to build up or destroy ?. Nothing is more like ourselves than our words. By thy words shalt thou be justified and by thy words shalt thuu be condemned. Take heed how ye speak as well as how ye hear. It is a fact which cannot be centroverted that the most Couitnicative are very often the most deficient in everything save impudence and self conceit. We have come across some that appeared to have a wonderful store of knowledge, and a wonderful com- mand of words, coupled with such a strong desire to know the why and the wherefore of everything, that they excited both our pity and contempt. We never meet such persons without wishing that we could tell them the story of the boy with a short nose. ‘* Jim,” said one of his playmates, ‘* why is your nose so short?’ ‘So it should not poke itself into other people’s business,” was the quick retert.” The wisdom of Solomon gives us the true weight of the busy, tattling, news-exchanginy creature that happened to be made in the image of God. ‘*Heis as vanity, yea, altogether lighter than vanity.” There are two simple phrases on everybody’s tongue which if heeded would revolutionize society, make the wilderness a gardev, and the bitter waters of Marah forever sweet. ‘‘ Mind your own business.” ‘* Everyone has enough to do to keep his own door clean.”

Here we will try to describe in as fow words as possible, a most remarkable per- sonage. One of the strongest, hardiest and healthiest old dames that has ever trodden eurearth, is Madame Gossip. Though nearly six thousand years of age, she is as hale andhearty as ever. She feels not the infirmities incident te old age, her eye is not dim, and her natural ferce is not abated. We call her ‘‘ old” because she was born when Adam fell. She is Beel&Zebub’s first- born and, like her illustrious father, has been going to and fro in the earth and walking up and down in it ever since, and bids fair to continue her undisturbed march till the time of her father’s imprisonment. She is talented. She has the talent of bab- ble, the talent of eloquence, the talent of exaggeration, the talent of making brawls, the talent of making men hate each other, the talent of revealing secrets,—and she don’t hide her talents undera bushel. The way in which she improves her oppertuni- ties, hcr indomitable courage and her cease less activity, command the respect, if not the admiration, of all. Her lips drop as ari honey-comb, and her words are smoother than oil. She has itching ears which ever and anon hear things marvellously strange. Her eyes are so sharp and penetrating that they can clearly discern invisible things. She is omniscent and understand the mo-

dress is very remarkable—nearly all tail,— the most ingenious device ever invented for tripping the unwary and forgetful. In spite of her ungainly dress, she moves with the speed of lightning. The ease and alac- rity with which she speeds her way through her circuit of the earth may be accounted for. She is lighter than air. Se is very voracious. Her incessant cry is ‘‘ give, give.” Yet she is not selfish, for she is as willing to communicate as she is eager to appropriate. Her unselfish communicative-

tives which inspire actions and words. Her |

_

T ~ NO, 74 , _ ness isa dreadful drain upon her system, which she loses no opportunity to repair. | Her digestion is astonishing. She swallows | the vilest refuse. Yea, bones of contention is her favorite diet. She has a vualture’s eye and vulture’s scent for venom and loathsomeness. Yet she can dine with princes and partake of the choicest delica- cies. Her digestion is so strong and per- fect that she needs no bitters nor stimu- lants, save that which her diversified diet affords. And just here we would say, she is the greatest bitter manufacturer in exis- tence. Her *‘ Acrid Strife Bitters” have gained a world-wide notoriety. While large doses of those bitters will cure drowsiness and produce sleeplessness, and cure most diseases, ene drop will cure the worst case of lockjaw. Madame Gossip has wonder- ful influence, the fear and dread of her is universal. She has been known to prevent crime and bloodshed. Yet the goed which she does is purely accidental, and is noth- ing compared with the mischief. Though men about to imbue their hands in the blood of their fellows have been known to reflect and then abandon their murderous purpose, because of her keen inquisitive- ness. Yet, in numberless instances men, about to reform and forsake their vices, have been known to give up every thought of reformation. The man about to forsake the haunts of vice, continues lewd. The swearer continues to blaspheme. The im- moral continue immoral. Conscience’s voice is disregarded, and virtue is sacrificed. Some conception of her potent power may be gathered from the fact that on nearly every banner is inscribed, not ‘‘ What saith the Lord?” but ‘* What will Madame Gos-

sip say }’ Her devotees are innumerable

thousands, ready to sacrifice happiness to gratify her, while millions of dollars are spent to pacify her malignant tongue.

Beautiful mansions are erected, and fine style is kept up, in order to gain her plau-

dits. Not only in secular circles, but in religions as weil, is her influence felt. Oftentimes, brilliant lectures are

delivered and cloquent sermons preached for Madain Gossips sake. In the holy convocation, in the solemn assembly, does her penetrating eye scan every object and her impure imagination devise mischief, The oldest fashion and the newest, the plainest dress and the most gaudy, the ugliest man and the prettiest woman, Jones’ courtship and Jones’ antecedents and Jones’ ancestors. Lucy Ren’s standing in Society, her lovers, her dress, her usefullness, or her uselessness, hersmanners, her gait, and last, though not least, her looks. All these things engage the old dame’s attention. What shall I say more. To describe her rightly would be a hereulean task. Has net the reader sometime or somewhere beheld that hand-shaking, back-biting, tale-bearing, strife-creating old blarney who blights our hemes and sets our teeth on edge, and never stops nor halts even when

she reaches Billingsgate ?> Ss. Cavendish Road, Feb. 12., 1880,

A PATERSON BOYS POSTAL CARD UNABLE To EQUAL PHILEAS FOGG’S TIME.

On the 9th of October a Paterson school- boy mailed the following postal card, which is self-explanatory :

6 P.M. Patsrson, Oct. 9, ’79%.

Dear Sim: It is desired to find tlhe shortest possible time from this city around the world. Will the Postmaster of each place designated here please forward this with the utmost despatch, together with a request to the Postmaster of the next following place -to recall it, and continue until it reaches San Francisco, when the Postmaster is requested to mail it to

L. B. Garsipe Paterson, New Jersey, U. 8. A.

(Lendon, Paris, Marsellies, Suez, Aden, Bombay, Calcutta, Heng Keng, Yokoha- ma, San Francisco.)

The card returned to the sender on the 27th Jan., covered all over with postmarke. These show that the time occupied in going from place te place was as follows :—

ARRIVED, New Xork to Liverpoel..... 10 days. .Oct, 19 Liverpool to Lendon........ 3 days. .Oct. 22 London to Paria..... ...... i day ..Oct. 23 Paris to Marseilles.......... l day ..Oct. 24 Marseilles to Suez.......... 7 days. . Oct. 3) Sante RAO 06054 66 85405 5 days..Nov. 5 Aden to Bombay........... 7 days. . Noy. 12 Bombay to Calcutta........ 3 days..Nov. 15 Remained in Calcutta office.. 3 days..Nov. JS Calcutta to Hong Kong....18 days..Dec. 6 Hong Kong to Yokohama...28 days..Jan. 3 Yokohama to San Francisco. 16 days. Jan. 19

San Francisco to New York. 8 days..Jan. 27 Arriving at Peterson on Jan. 27

Total time occnpied.... 110 days.

Three days were lost in waiting in the Calcutta office, and about eighteen days were wasted in delay from Hong Keng te Yokohama. Without these delays the time would have been 89 days, still nine days in excess of Jules Verne’s imaginary trip, | or eight days, counting, as he did, the gain

| of a day in beating the sun.

The Presbyterian Church in Canada eon- ‘tains 860 pasteral charges ; 1,350 congre- ‘gations ; 75,000 families ; and about 130,- /000 communicants. The average stipend is $850 per annum. Its contributions for _missionary and college purposes last year ' yeached $241,000, while for all purposes,

including ministers salaries, etc., there was raised nearly $1,250,000. Six theological

colleges are connected with the church.
