fSSubseribe. for ihe Jocrnai. SI
; Gossips. -
Republished by request from . the Mor
ganton Star.
While Fraukensteiu's hero was
perfect in his different parts, yet,
with no prevading spirit of truth
or honor, the combination made a
demon. That hero was a type of
a lot of men and women to day -
the gossips. Pleasant, agreeable,
chattyf and yet, whited sepulchres,
who under the quise of morality
and piety, breath impurities pes
tilence. Th murderer, the high
way robber, the house burner and
all attain different degrees of guilt
but none attain the unspeakable
infinitesimal meanness of a gossip.
Gossips live in an atmosphere of
their own impurities, in cobwebs
spun by their own dark and dis
eased imaginings, and for them
old Charon will provide a safe pas
Sage over the river Styx. Gos
sips are here, there, everywhere, -the
loathsome parasites of decen
cythe dirty linen of aristocsacy,
the virmin of reffned society. They
are as necessary concomitants of
a smali village as j ngs of liquor
are of a political campaign. They
tear down the partition wall be
tween memory and imagination,
aud under the power and inspira
tion of the devil, they are roman
cers of no meAti attainments. They
never squelch or squash a lie, but
inflate it, veneer it, gild it, tongue,
wing it and set it afloat. Men,
well dressed, with more or less
culture, women of ease and grace
of manner, flounced and, furbe
lowed, either at home or under
neighbor's roof, wind off their run
down stock of morality mop off a
kerchief or so of summer warmth,
and then twine the barmoniou
myrtle round their implements of
assault. They tirst anoint their
intended victim with the myrrh
and spices of tender regard, then
ask in insinuating cadence: "Have
you heard the talk of the town?"
With a gleam of the serpent in
their eyes, and tongue dipped in
inky pitchness of Inferno, they
hatch, feather, and limb a lie, and
with consciousness as remorseless
as the torch of Omar, they start
it on its unholy mission. At first
it may be delicate, feeble,unprom-
ising lie, but they plant it in rich
dark loam, where it frows, flour
lsues, and fills the very chambers
of the air with its poisonous va-
pors. A gossip is simply a human
Upas tree, breathing moral and
social diseases and bearing fruit
oi domestic dacrsers. Amatner
gossips are a species of insect un
known in the calendar of ento
mologists, uukenued in the philos
ophy of schools; but all are pro
fessiouals, are so from birth and
are r;s lsxariant and orderiferous
as dog-fennel. Some people lie
from interest, some from vanity,
some from what they consider a
necessity, some from strength of
association, but not so with the
gossips; they belong to a different
school of Belles Letters, to a high
er department of the fiue arts
They are natural liars, just as
some people are natural fools
some cows natural kickers, some
dogs natural houuds. Theis per
formances are free from the vul
bar alloy of interest, they lie from
the irresistible promptings of in
stinct, from a love of their art.
No greater curse did satan ever
bequeath to a community, than a
luxuriant crop of gossips. "The
lice of Libson, the frogs of Egypt
the very winds impregnated with
disease are not so baleful as gos
sips. They fill their quivers with
baarbed and poisoned arrows
then they begin a massacre o
character. They are no respect
ors of persons. . Their missels
fresh and white, heated from the
furnace of the dammed, are hurled
at the pure as well as the impure
Yea; the purer the object, the
more dastardly the attack, the
stronger they string their bows.
Does it ever occur to those retail
leddlcrs of moral faithjthat either
they or .those near to them are
beslimed and besmeared! Refresh
your memories, ye moral Oalabans
and see how it stands with you
and yours. , Study afresh your
own geneologicai tree and see if
it has borne only pure fruit. Pluck
the beam from your own sin-be-sotten
eyes, purify your own li
centious lips before you defame
he character of your neighbors.
Open your own closets, ye moral
Ahabs and Jezebels and tell ns if
you find no skeletons of debased
honor, or soiled virtue. Ye self-
constituted guardians of private
morals, lock into your hearts and
nsciences, if any of you have,
and see if it lies in your throats
to slander our neighbor. Ye del
icate fingered and harder handed
angels of Heads will find, when
too late to heal the scars you have
made or; to sweep and garnish
your own foul hearts, that for you
has been reserved the most lurid
seat in the inner circle of the in
ner infamies of inner hell.

To the Young Ladies.
Dear young ladies, allow me to
remind you of the power of female
influence. My lips are not speak-
ing flattery. I give you credit for
nothing more than God, your ma-
ker, allows you to claim. It is
not yours to mingle in the rough
and thorny scenes of life and by
masculine authority to cdntrol the
destinies of the world; but in the
nursery, at the domestic fireside,
in the social circle, and other re-
tired and gentle scenes, it is yours
o give the first direction and lm
pulse to thoughts, to give to the
heart an abiding impress, and to
character its pure texture. You
are imparting a lasting influence
to those around you; you have the
moulding of the habits and prin-
ciples of communities. Princes
and kings are sitting by you and
receiving laws from yonr lips,
Universal consent has given you
this power. You can speak and
act where others cannot; you can
reprove where others dare not.
The combined influence of your
loveliness, beauty, affection, gives
terror to your frowns and power
to your smiles, and renders sue-
cessful your expostulations, which
from the other sex would be met
by insult. Your influence, though some of which are two thirds gold,

You can declare to all your lovers

Big Gold Find in North Carolina,
Salisbury, Nov. 12. The four ex-
perts who went from here last
week to see Tebe ' Saunders rich
gbld find m Montgomery county
have returned, and report that
the first thought or wild tales
about the find is true. Jhere has
not been fifty dollars worth of
work done on the find, and from
a reasonable calculation 150,000
worth 6f gold has been taken out.
The gold was first found by a inan
who was turkey hunting. It was
told, and then hands flocked there
and went to work, paying five-
eighths of the gold they found as'
a royalty. One man was thought
to be dishonest and did not! pay
all thatwas due.' Hewasstopped
from working and went off saying
he did not care about anymore,
a8 he had all he wanted. He, is
known to have nine pounds of
gold now. One man on last Sat-
urday panned only twenty minutes
and panned two, thousand penny
weight of gold. Two men worked
a day and a half and cleaned up
ten and a half pounds of gold.
The find is on a high bill above a
branch. The surface appears- to
be full of fine gold and runs into
fine glassy quartz stringers in
depth, which form into pockets,
panies, who have spent large sums
there. The gold is coarse, and
some nuggets weigh from 100 to
500 pennyweight, while others
hold the quartz together so that
it can be bent and twisted; The
is an old pine field that was in
cultivation before the war, and is
owned in fee simple by Saunders,
hence claims cannot be laid off
like in the West. '
