Tattlers. Every commuoity is cursed by the ( presence of a class of pedpie who make it their business to attend to everybody's ( business but their own. Such people ire the meanest specimens of depraved humanity which an All-wise Providence permits to exist on this earth. It is wellknown that almost every person is some- 1 times disposed to speak evil of others, ' and tattling is a sin from which very few 1 can claim to be entirely exempt. ' But the object of our present article is to speak of that distinct class or tat- 1 tiers who make talebearing the con- 1 slant business of their lives. They pry ' into th" private affairs of evpry family ! in tho neighborhood; they know the exact state of one neighbor's feelings toward another; they understand everybody's faults, and no Tittle blunder or misdemeanor evr ercapes tbeir vigilant watchfulness. ?Thcjr are particularly well-posted upon evnryfhing conneejpd with courtship and matrimony, know who are going to tunrry whom, and can gness the Qxact time whoo it will take plaee. They, watch every movement of parties suspend of matrimonial intentions. and if thfrc is the slightest chance to create a disturbance, cxcitc jealousy or 'break up' a match, they take immediate advantage of it and do all in their nower to keen people in a constant state cf vexation.

Friend, your wife loves neatness; now when you enter that home which she is trying to moke attractive to you, sec that you show a corresponding desire. You liko to sec your wifie neatly and tastefully dressed at home; follow example, and throw off, with the care of tho world, yonr soiled garments and be clean and tasty. When you take your paper to read do not read to yourself and leave her to lonesome thought? while sewing or niendiug, but remember that she, too, has been working hnfd all day, and is still working. Read to her whatever interests you, so that her opinious may grow with yours and that she may comprebend something besides love stories, of which too many have read more than they should.

Sorrow is often turned from bitter to sweet, when wo open our hearts to share it with auotber. A certain prince was overwhelmed at tho death of his daughter, quite sure that no one else had been thus afflicted. Whereupon, a wiso man of his cpurt promised to do an impossible thing. "I will restore thy daughter to life," snid he' "provided thou art abls to engrave on hor tomb tbe antes of three persons who have not mourned." The sorvants of the prince were sent at once to search the country. Tliev went into cities and villages, and even into houses' asking ail manner of questions. They sat for hours, perhaps watching and listening, and taking notes of all they h^ard. They went even to tile cemeteries and read the name and epitaph on each- tomb. Kich and poor, high and low, were alike visited and obliged to tell their family affairs. At last, after much travel and earnest endeavor, the servants returned, and declared that their search had been in vain. In ull the kingdom no one was to be found who had not at some time felt the pangs of grief. Tho prince, turning to tho sage, acknowledged ' his want of undstandinc. and promised that he would find relief from his own sorrow by seeking to comfort others.
