-There is a specimen of gossiping aggra

is sometimes committed more from thought-

he may see and hear much that the family
would not wish to have reported. Circum
stances often ot cur. and remarks are made,
from whirh no harm would come if tKey
were published to the world, provided
what went before and came after could like
wise be known; but, taken out of their
connection, they make a false impression ,
It is by relating disjointed circumstances,
and repeating fragments of conversation,
that 60 much miscnief js done by those
admitted into the bosom of a family. ;

FATALITY OF FASHIONS.
It is a startling fact that human life is
shorter in New England now than it was
fifty years ago. J here are diseases now
which were hardly known. then, and which
bring thousands to a premature grave.
What is the cause of alt this? flas our cli-
mate essentially changed i Mo- unless it
be foi the better. The cause is to be found
doubtless in the corrupting fashions of the
times, which regulate tbe food and the dress
of people. and 'wfnrh mike idleness more
respectable than honest sturdy industry. We
deprecate those fishions ; they' are rapidly
leading us as a people into those excesses
whirh have proved the ruin of other and
earlier nations. It is time tl t subject were

to court rather than a meal hag to mill ; h
must wield a yard stick, rather thsni hoe
or shovel ; and as for young ladies alas .'
it would soil their lily hands and be an u

songs. All these fashions are prejudicial
to human life and health. 0. thai lafhion

Then would the hopes of our country
