(iossipixo:
f The niost prevailing fault of conversa
tion in our country, and, I believe, in all
social communities, is gossiping. As
yveeds most infest the richest soils, so
gossiping most abounds amidst the social
virtues in small towns, .where there is the
: most extended mutual acquaintance, where j
persons live in the closest relations, resem
bling a large family circle. To disturb
'the sweet uses of the little communities
by gossiping, is surely to forfeit the bene
fit of one of the kindest arrangements of
Providence. .
'In great &. busy cities, where people live
in total ignorance of their neighbors, where
they cannot tell how they live, and hardly
know when they die, there is no neighbor
hood, and there is no gossiping. But
need there be this poisonous weed among
the flowers this blight upon the fruit, my
young friends?
You may understand better precisely
what comes under the head of gossiping,
if I give you some examples of it. .
: Iu a certain small thickly settled town
there lives a family, consisting of a man,
his wife, and his wife's sister, lie has a
Tittle shop, it may be a jeweller's, saddler's,
shoemaker's, or what we call a store -no
matter which, since he earns enough to
live most comfortably, with the help of his
wife arid sister, who are noted for their in
dustry and economy. One would think
they had nothing to do but to enjoy their
own comforts, and aid and pity those less
favored an themselves. instead of
all this, they volunteer ' e all the
sinsfollies and shorf f their
neighbors. The husb.. t a silent
partner, lie does his full : of the low
V6rk of this gossiping trio. ' Go to see
them when you will, you may hear the
last news of every family within half 'a
mile. For example, as follows:

Ilave you heard the Newtnns are going ;ed by treachery ; but, bad as this is, it is
sometimes committed more from thouo-ht-lessness
than malice. A girl is invited to
pass a day, a week, or a month, it may be,
in a family. Admitted to such an intima
cy, she may see and hear much that the
family would not wish to have reported.
Circumstances often "occur, and remarks
are made, from which no harm would
to the country to live?" "Bless me! no;
what's that for?" "They say to educate
their children; but my dress maker, Sally
Smith, who works for Mrs. Newton, says
she is worn out with dinner parties. He
runs the house down with company."
"Oil, i suppose they are obliged to go ;

"Mrs.- had another new gown at

"None of the widow Day's girls were

This is but a specimen of the talk of
these unfortunate people, who seem to
have turned their home into a common
actver through which all the sins and foi
bles of the. neighborhood ( run. Yes; but

had to accout for the pernicious icords fox
which we must be brought into judgment.
I hope it may appear incredible to you,
my young friends, that women, halfway
through this short life with the knowledge

of their immortal destiny, 'with a world
without them and a world.within to ex
plore and make acquaintance with, with
the delightful interests and solemn respon
sibilities of parents upon them, should so
dishonor God's good gift of the tongue,
should so waste their time, and poison so
cial life. But be on your guard. If your
minds are not employed on higher objects,
and your hearts on better things, you will
talk idly about your friends and acquain
tance. The habit of gossiping . begins in youth.
I once attended a society of young persons,
from thirteen to seventeen years of age,
who met for benevolent purposes.
"Is this reading or talking afternoon?"
asked one of the girls.
"Reading," replied the President; "and
I have brought Percy's Reliques of Eng
lish Poetry to read to you."
"Is not that light reading?" asked Julia
could likewise be known; but taken out
of their connection, they make a false
impression. It is by relating the disjoint
ed circumstances, and repeating fragments
of conversations, that so much mischief is
done by those admitted into the" bosom of
a: family.
You know that with the Arabs, partak
ing salt is a pledge of fidelity, because the
salt is a symbol of hospitality. Such a sa
cred gratitude for hospitality by never
making any disparaging remarks or idle
communications about those" into whose
families you are received. I know persons
who will say unblushingly, "I am sure
that Air. So and So is not kind to his
wife. I saw enough to convince me of it
! when I was there." "Mrs. S.' is very mean
in her family.,' ."How do you know that?"
I am sure 1 ought toknow, for I staid a month
in her house." "If you wish to be convinc
ed that Mrs. L. has no government over her
children, go & stay there a week as I did."
"The B.'s and their step-mother try to live
happily together; but if you were in their
family as much as I am, you would see
there is no love lost between them."
Now you perceive, my young friends, tiiat
the very reason which should have sealed
this gossip's lips, adduced as the' ground
of your faith in her evil report.
- I have dwelt long on this topic of gos
siping, my young friends, because, as I
said before, I believe it to be a prevailing
fault in our young and social country.
The only sure mode of extirpating it is by
the cultivation of your minds and the puri
fication of your hearts.
All kinds and degrees of gossiping are
as distasteful to an elevated .' character as
yer waiting for the last bell secured for me j Britain for the same reason that the slave

ed me a partnership, which I accepted,
and in every instance when the bell rang
I was ready.
I had almost forgotten to tell you that
Helen Harris is my wife, and she never
will repent the morning I took her father
at his word, and ran over the field to get
to the boat in time. When I arrived at
Baltimore I called on some gentlemen to
whom I had introductory letters, and they
recommended me for a situation; one was
soon offered, which had been refused by
four young men who were waiting for the
last bell, and which I accepted it was
the making of me. Haste for the first of
fer, and keep it till you get a better. Life
is short, and he who puts off until the last
bell will, as farmer Harris predicts, "come
out at the little end of the horn."
