Gossip. | lle Assuredly, gossip must have been a com- vice, in the Teacher of Nozareth so men to ** judge net that you judged,” and considering the one human heart to another, and how it ,has rewained the same through the lapse of centuries, it does not seem far-fetched to suppose that gossip and the love of it origi- nated in the days when Adam and Eve's children were married, and living near enough to pry into the mode of life adopted “by each other, and to eriticise affairs with | which they h, id no concern; and it has ' passed a hideous inheritance through all the generations of human life since. Terrible, jindeed, is the work it has been doing in all ‘these years. How innumerable the feuds |that have arisen from it, the hearts it has broken, and the friends it has sent on di- | verging paths, that no kindly fate will ever bring Fegeilies agait. How many beauti- ful pictures it has robbed from memory’s background; and it flourishes as bravely to day as when it first won its treacherous, spiteful way into human life. And how ! humanity loves it. It limits its influence Iw no one station in lify, but is as much ap- | preciated by my lady who, who, over her | tive o'clock tea, Is nguidly discusses the }actions and motives of her dear friend the |duchess, as it is by the must illiterate wo- man who, over her washtub, vives to her ne ghbor her version and opinion of the tight the man next door had with his wife the night before. Nor is the yice exclusi- vely confined to either sex, despite the pre- vailing idea that girls and gessip matrons, and malice, are inevitable combinat ions. Men talk scandal with quite as much relish as women do, the only difference being that they speak plainly, where women only in- sinuate, and are therefore less h:r aful.
There are hundreds of newspapers, edited by the cleverest men, whose paragraphs are | more witty than savoury, and they spare ‘neither age nor sex. A greyp of women | arcvynd a tea table is the vision we conjure ;Up Whenever gossip is mentioned, but it @ | would be quite as true to nature if, instead, we were to picture a cpowd of men at their jclub, shattering the business standing of | One of their friends or depriving some un- fortunate woman of her good reputation, for no better reason than that she hs appened for the time to be placed in some couspicu- ous social or public positicn.
days when the Divine earnestly charged may mot be similarity of
mon
In cities, as a rule, gossip has the least power. There, people have eneugh to do to attend to their own business; and the cush of Tife, the ever-changing current of events, turn our attention away from per- sonalities. But in small communities, where everybody knows everybody else, together with every detail of their domestic economy and every member of their family pedigree, there it is that gossip lives and shrives on all that is low and mean in
yman nature.
‘** Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do.” So he does. And being very enterprising, he is also ready to fur- nish employment for idle tongues; so in small towns, where the roar and life ot ‘the great world ; is seldom keard, there. it is that the scandal-taonger dues a brisk trade and sees even in gouod acticns bad motives, There it is that the lady who does the dress- making and millinery for the place retails the family affairs of her neighbors along with her ribbons, and nobody gets a new bonnet without being accused of extrava- gance or neglect to dv so without incyrriag the reputation of meanness’ There it is that all the uewly-married people are maljigyed, and the minister, doctor and lawyer criticised. I1t is there that through jealousy or hatred some mean, insinuating hint is let fall, and goes the rounds and is embellished by a thousand tongues and some one’s character is forever ruined, and the Pharisees of our day mourn the wickecuess of the wotld, without even once qestidnuing the truth of the report. They are willing to believe what they wish were true. It isthen that the frank, simple and joyous young girls who, perhaps, re- fuse to be slaves tu some fvolish conven- tionality, or step beyond the narrow rules laid down by a few narrow-minded vromen, are made the targets for the’ poisoned arrows of jealousy and malice. ie is there that the cénviction arises in the heart of many a young gil who may be just look- ing on life with innvcent eyes that idealize it, that such a thing as a disinteres'ed ac- tion or a true-hearted man cr women is not in the world. Yhe young people—it 8 upon them that gossip the most harmful'y. Many dear, worthy old puristg, who'shudder at the thought of a novel, and faint away with horror at the idea of a young girlin’ a theatre, have no scruple whatever in pouring into the maid en's ears their own pernicious views of life ; and news; apers filed with ‘graphic ac- counts of all the sin and weakness of the world are perused by youthful eyes, first with horror, and then with the same relish that their elders feel. Nathaniel Haythorne tells us how Rappaceini fed his daughter on pwisun, until, by the time she had résehed womanhood nu pure, healthy life could live
within reach of her breath. Many a young moral nature has been treated in the same way, ard san?a -mongers have been devel- oped from nature that once saw a pure world through their own pure imaginings.
But while we deplore the evils of gossyp we cannot fail to sce its fascinatio a, much of the clever satirical wit of our literature is nathing but gusaip, aye, and malicious gossip too. As a clever novelist once made oue of her characters say, ‘‘It is so stupid you know to talk about how good and beautiful everybody is, it is much more ainusing to talk of their faults.
How often we find people, who arg very prow . of their own judgment in must thing give way to the opinions of others in el to their neighbors and speak of them, not as they know them, but as they hear of them. Again we meet those who
talk evil of people they know nothing at all about, except that they live, and §perbaps (1 have won some niet, though well-earned

seem to live for nothing else but to propa gate slander, and they find many recruits inthe number of men and women who seldom have an opinios of their own, and} are always ready to enlist on the popul: ar | side.
We have many cther subjects for couver- sation that are both interesting and in- structive, topics that will stimulate life, not dull and vulgarize it, as gossip invari- ably does. We have all the beauties of in- animate nature, all the marvels of insensate creation.
Art, music and science have filled the world with wonders, and life with its pro- blems, work with its interests, are with us
still. Let us hope that from these may spring plenty of discussion to take the place of despicable gossip.

A General Election in Brazil.
Mr. Thos. Laws writes from the National School, Gosforth to the Newcastle Chronicle as under:—In a letter which 1 have re- ceived from a relative residing at Parahyba, some idea is given of the way in which elections are carried on there. Perhaps a few quotations would interest your readers. He says :—‘* We had a General Election here last week, and the proceedings are worth recording. Brazil has a so-called Constitutional Government, and the Con- servatives have been in power for the last three years. Two months ago the Govern- ment were defeated, and the Emperor called in the Opposition leader to form a Cabinet, the General Election being fixed ior August 31, In Brazil, as in the United States, nearly all Government employes go with the Government. The new President they sent us to Parahyba is certainly a lively gentleman. He has been trying for the last two months to secure the return of the Liberal deputy for Parahyba. In Eng- land, yoy would hardly credit the corrup- tion ‘that goes on at a general election here. £20,000 of Government money has been spent in bribing voters in this province, in suine cases £100 being given for a vote. The President dismissed ev ery one in pub- lic offices who would not promise his vot: to the Liberals, and, as voting by ballot is nut instituted here, they had the option of voting for the Liberal or clearing ont. Two days before the election the lyesident sent all doubtful voters in Government em- p! oy on imaginary errands into the interior of the province, not allowing them to return until the election was over... Some of the incidents were very funny. The military doctor, who was a Conservative, received orders to go to Ceard, which is the next porton the coast. He sent a reply to the President, saying be was ill, and could not go fora day ortwo. On receiving his let- ter the President remarked, ‘‘Oh, ill, is he /” and forthwith sent a guard of soldiers with an ambulance car, and whipped the poor doctor off to the hospital till the elec- tion was over. On the day before the elec tion, the hospital doctor (also a Conserva- tive) gave his colleague a note stating that he wag entirely recovered; so he left the hospital and went home. On this reaching the President's ears, he again sent the sol- diers, and took back the doctor to the hos- pital and at the same gave orders that the hospital doctor was to be putunder arrest for presuming to cure 4 man so soon. The mil- itary bandmaster was dismissed for refus- ing to vote for the Liberal, and on the day of the election suldiers were sent to sur- round his house, and keep him prtsone: until the election was over, the pretext being that he had said something disre- spectful of the President. I hear that at sume of the polling stations in the interior the Liberals had all the hired assassins en- gaged and placed rouyd about to intimidate the voters; and as other places soldiers were placed at the doors with fixed bayonets, who inquired of each voter whether he was Liberal or Conservative. If Conservative, the voter had to walk away without record- ing his vote; otherwise, he received a play- ful poke from a bayonet to assist him. these men cal] themselves Liberals,”

Resourees ef Western Canada.
‘he vast extont of territory included in Manitoba and the Northwest, with its un dev eloped wealth of commerce, agriculture, mining, lumbering and fishmg, was very little known to the outside word about ten years ag», but so rapid haye been the for ward strides that ty-day 1s rich resources, soil, paghuye lands, forests, mines, seas, lakes, and rivers are commanding the at- tention of all parts of the civilized world, and attracting settlers from almost every land. Investigation has shown that through Manitoba, the nortal of this whole country, theye must flow, in coming years, the com- merce of a region whose extent and wealth of resources cannot be told. As indicating the probable ultimate development iu the line of agriculture alone the following esti mate may be stated of what is oflicia/ly

This table shows that in Western Canada there are two hundred million acres of grain- growing and grazing land, while Ontario and Quebec have 130,000,000. Southward between the main line of the C. P. R and the international boundary, lies the famous agricultural district of soughera Manitoba and the immense caal mines of the Souris valley and of Alberta, Northward are the great lakes and streams whose fisheries are already remunerative; the Lake Dauphin district, which is rapidly becoming knowg as one of the finest farming sections of the
