THE TALE-BEARER.
Observations Touching the Practical
Effects or False Statements.
f In many communities, lesser and
greater, there may still be found the
tale-bearer, who, as in Solomon's days,
separates chief friends; frequently a
womaji. not unfrequently a man. And
the pestilence that walks in darkness is
not so mischievous or so hatefuL Well
ono remembers, as a child, the lowered
voice, not without a nasal intonation,
the unmistakable busybody air, the un
forgotten formula: "Now you must
not mention it for your life; but she
said that you were a vulgar, ugly
thing." Many, indeed, are things so
said which recur to the unwilling mem
ory. But there are matters which it is
degrading to recall, even to gibbet them.
I wish heartily 1 could forget a great
deal which comes back to me as I writo
this line. John Stuart Mill said that
one marked difference between the edu
cated and uneducated class is that the
latter will readily tell a falsehood; the
former will not. It is sad that one's
experience appears sometimes to testify
that the deplorable tendency has its
place in some individuals "of either
class.
Let a rule be here laid down which
ought never, under auy circumstances,
be departed from. Never listen to one
who proposes to tell you somothing a
friend has said to your prejudicR, your
pledging yourself never to speak to
your friend on the matter. Here you
nave come across the basest and most
cowardly of all backbiters and mischief
makers, likewise the vulgarest. Your
course here is plain. Say to the coward
ly tale-bearer: "I warn you that if you
Say one word 1 shall go straight and tell
my friend that you told me this story
and ask if it is true." Dr. Chalmers
mother always met any bit of spiteful
tattle with words to this effect. It was
pleasing to see how the mischief-maker
hastened to back out of the story. And
the mischief-maker did not come back
to Mrs. Chalmers a second time; unless
a greater fool than common.
A little organization has gone on
smoothly for years, its members trust
ing one another and working harmoni
ously together. But in an evil hour the
mischief-maker is admitted to that small
society. Soon there i3 suspicion and
drawing off; possibly tho wnole thing
blows up. Each has been secretly
Eoisoncd. No doubt each ought to
avo cut the mischief-maker short, but
not all had wisdom and firmness to do
so.
You remember, I doubt not, how the
mischief-maker onco offered, "from a
sense of duty," to relate to you circum
stances which tended to make you
doubt your best friend. He "wished to
caution you." You cut him short fin
all. But what if that whisper had got
hold of you? Of course, you would
have asked your friend about it, and
things would have been cleared up.
But some folk dread a scene and avoid

sion. The repetition of them ends in
alienation.

made a bad impression; 1 disappointed
people. Years after it came out that it
all came of the skillful misrepresenta
tions and innuendoes of a clever and
(in the main) good man. But he could
not bear to seo your promotion. The
frantic tenacity with which some men
keep hold of some trumpery privilego
is even exceeded bj' their frantic terror
lest any neighbor should get hold of it,
too.
When falsehoods are systematically
told by a man (not designed to keep a
neighbor back or down) his purpose
generally is to inuko himself of conse
quence. He is influential; holding
strings in his hand; playing off ono
against another. Privately tell A that
B abused him; privately tell B that A
abused him. If they be vulgar souls
they will listen to you. And no doubt

you could get in no other way.
When falsehoods are systematically
told by a woman, if old. she is spiteful.
She wants to give pain and make mis

so bad. Her main desire is to be talk

heroine of her libs. And she "would
talk of herself forever. She would
rather tell evil of herself than tell noth

METEORIC STONES.
Where Do They Originate, and How Do
They Come to the Eirth?
The falling of a huge one in Western
Pennsylvania a stone as large as au
average house seems to have excited
some interest on the part of many per
sons to learn something more about
these strange and dangerous visits. It
is rare that wo hear of one of such
great size as this Pennsylvania meteori
indeed, one may well question the truth
of the account. But there have been
oven larger ono, though not, probably,
in modern times. The thoory of somo
person?, that these rod-hot stones have
been thrown out of some volcano, and
then been drawn back to the CNrth's
surface by gravitation, is wholly un
tenable. These fierv rocks come from
"other worlds than ours." It is not
probable that they are recent emana
tions from one of the other planets;
they are drawn, in all probability, by
the earth's greater attraction, out of
their place in some of tho great meteor
streams that revolve, like the earth,
around the sun, each in its own orbit.
At certain points in the annual journeys
of ur own world, and of these great
streams of loosely aggregated rocks of
many siz.es, the two orbits evidently so
nearly touch as to make it possible for
the globe on which we live to cap
ture some of the meteoric bodies
which constitute the fringe, or skirt, so
to speak, of the meteor stream. Once,
on the loth of November. 1833, our
jrlobe must haw actually brushed
through the thinner outer fringe of the
astonishing aggregation which has
since come to oV known among astron
omers as the "November stream." in
contradistinction to another whose skirts
ve almost touch in August, and which
I called, therefore, the August stream.
Other streams ma- exist, m the inter
planetary spaces, of which the astrono
mers have no positive knowledge; or,
there may be irregular masses, or even
endless cases of separate meteoric bod
ies, all rushing around the sun in differ
ent orbits. It is certain that countless
millions of thee objects, mostly quite
small bodies, an actually drawn in up
on the earth, ilost of t..em, apparently,
are burned up before reaching the
earth's surface.'and descend in an invis
ible, impalpable form of exceedingly
fine dnst. Occasionally this can be
plainly seen as it was once, in the
suburbs of this city, when it seemed at
first, shown against the afternoon sun,
like a real shower of rain, only a raw
from a clear sky, but which quickly
proved to be a shower of dnst, so fine.

"Nothing warms a man up on a cold
day like a kind action," said the man
who had just dropped a ffiokel in a beg

over it.
"You've hit it fair in the eye," said
a Chicago drummer; "for I know how
that is myself."
"You!" exclaimed both the others, in

"Yes. me. You mightn't think it,

pened in a little town in Kansas, on
one of the coldest days we had last
winter. I was laid over there, and
dropped into a shoe shop to have a lit

cobbler was an oldish man, with ono of
the saddest faces I over saw outside of
Milwaukee. When I went in he was
sitting on his bench, with his face bur
ied in his bands, crying fit to kilL"
"What was he crying about?"
"That's what 1 was about to tell you.
The man's grief took right hold of me
and made me feel all over in spots. I
approached him kindly, and, in as soft
a voice as I could muster, I inquired
the cause of his woe. He told me he
was ruined, that the savings of a life
time had been swept away in a day, and
his family woro absolutely suffering for
want of bread, and that, too. at a time
when every comfort seemed just within
grasp."
"Been speculating in grain, had he?"
"Oh, no; bless you, no. Nothing of
tho kind, ile was quite a prudent man,
and had lost his all iu legitimate busi
ness, as I managed to learn from him
between sobs; though it took a good
deal of questioning.
"How did it come about?"
"Well, it seemed that a young lady
from St Louis had boon visiting the
burg, and had left her measure with
him and ordered a pair of shoes. He
Euc into them every scrap of leather
e had in the shop, but he didn't have
quite enough, and they proved too
small. She couldn't get them ou, and
they were consequently thrown back on
his hands. All his capital being locked
up in thorn the poor man was ruined.
No wonder he was gloomy. He hadn't
a dollar lett to buy stock, and without
leather his hands were idle, and he was
obliged so sit still and hear his children
cry for bread."
"And what did you do?"
"Why. there was only one thing that
I could do, and 1 did it, and the reac

" hat was that?"
"Why, gentlemen. 1 bought the shoes,
and set the poor old follow up in busi

thankful in all my life. He fairly went

him from hugging me. I needed some

President Jackson was one day waited
on by the keeper of a Washington
boarding-house, who complained that a
Tcnnesseean, who had been appointed
by him to a clerkship in one of the de
partments, would not pay a board bilL
"Get his note." said Old Hickory,
"for the full amount, interest included,
payable in sixty days, and bring it to
me."
"That will be of no use," replied the
boarding-house keeper, "for he never
pays his notes."
"Do as I tell you. sir," said Jackson,
and turned away.
Tho next day the boarding-house
keeper reappeared at the White House
and handed the note to the President
He took it, read it, wrote "Andrew
Jackson" across the back in his well
known autograph and handed it back,
saying: 'Take that to the Bank of tho
Metropolis and tell them from me that
at its maturity it will be paid by either
the drawer or the indorser. They will
discount it for you."
A few days afterward the man who
had given the note met his creditor and
tauntingly said: "Well, I don't suppose
you have been able to negotiate mv pa

house keeper, "I had no trouble in get

assurance that if you did not pay it the
indorser would."" "But who would in

CONFUCIUS.
The Bellg-toas Doctrines or the Great Chi
nese Philosopher.
It may be asked, what was the relig
ion of Confucius himself. It must be
answered; he accepted what he found
without laying stress upon any special
doctrines. While reverencing an un
seen divine power, he yet never spoke
of it as personal. He believed in spir
its, coniorinea to ceremonies, and did
not check special prayers. Once, when
sick, his friends asked that prayers
should be mado for his recovery. "Is
that" said he. "the proper thing to
do?" "It is so set down," they answered,
"in the sacred book, 'Address your
prayers,' " etc. He then uttered this
memorable seutence: "Tho prayer of
Confucius is constant" Men observed
that he sacrificed to the dead as if thev
were present; yet he evaded all ques
tions concerning them. "Shall we serve
the spirits of tho dead?" they asked; his
answer was: "If you can not serve
men, how will you servo spirits?" "I
venture to ask" about death." said a
disciple. "You know nothing about
life, how can you know anything about
death?" "Havo the dead knowledge?"
still urged the eager student "You
need not know whothcr they have or
not" said tho master; "there is no
hurry, hereafteryou shall know." "Ho
taught" wo read elsewhere, "letters,
morals, devotion of soul and sincerity
of heart, but all mysterious occurrences
feats of dexterity, abnormal states,
and tho existence of spiritual bcJnjrs, he
shrank from discussing." Yet the iu
stant the sphere of practice was touched
the trumpet gave no uncertain sound:
"Without obeying the ordinances of
heaven (t e., the moral law), it is im
possible to bo a superior man." "He
who sins against Heaven, to whom can
he pray?" "No mau knows me. I do
not complain; Heaven alone knows
me. This is the nearest approach I
find to the recognition of a personal
God, and it does not amount even to
monotheism as taught by Moses Good
Words.

EXCAVATIONS IN EGYPT.
Light Thrown on Ancient Custom a Well
as the Egyptian Spirit of To-dajr.
Profess Maspero's last reoort of his
labors in 'r'gypt throws light noi only
on the ancient customs there, but also
on the spirit which pervades the Egypt
of to day. Professor Maspero is Su
perintendent of the museum at Boulag.
near Cairo, and is officially charged
with the oversight of all excavations
that are made in the country. No na
tive is permitted to dig for antiquities
under any pretense whatever, except
under his direction. Travelers who
have visited Siout remember with in
terest the American Presbyterian mis
sion which has long been established
there, and its school for the education
of natives. Also the neatness of many
Christian dwellings. Even in the mar
ket the evidences of a higher civiliza
tion than is to be found elsewhere in
Egypt are apparent Missions find less
obstacles to their work in Siout than in
Alexandria or Cairo. The story goes
that during last winter one of the most
famous magicians of Siout intimated
to some Greeks that in the burial place
gist south of the city, at a place called
rougah, some ancient treasures lay
buried. They requested permission to dig
for them under the watch of some em
ploye of the museum. After certain
exorcisms, the magician indicated the
exact place doubtless long the secret
of himself and his predecessors in the
"black art" where the treasure would
be found. And eighteen feet from tho
surface they actually struck a rock, and
twenty-four feet lower a block fell un
der the blows of the pick, and the work
men were plunged pell-mell into a rude
ly quarried chamber, the ancient en
trance to which was stopped by the cav
ing in of the arched roof. A brick fur
nace with a metallic door was found to
contaiu more than two hundred stone
and bronze vases of various forms, some
fold leaf, and in one corner a heap of
lack. Binning earth, greasy to the
touch. The coiling and walls were cov
ered with a coat of soot To guard such
a quantity of ancient curiosities required
the presence of two armed soldiers.
The news spread, a mob assembled, and
a tumult arose. The inhabitants of the
Drougab, who are Copts, came in a body
armed with clubs, and attempted to de
scend into the pit for the purpose of
carrying off the entire booty. The agents
of tho museum attempted to reason
with them. "These treasures," said
they, "belong to the Government which
alone has a right to dispose of them ac
cording to its pleasure." But they
would not listeu. "What is this Gov
ernment ou talk about?" they demand
ed; "we do not recognize it: we are not
its servants. These treasures were put
here- by our fathers and they belong to
us, and if you touch them we shall
strike you and your blood shall be spilt
for you are nothing but thieves and for
eigners." During this debatw tho Mos
lem inhabitants of Siout came upon
th scene and demanded their share of
the treasures; but at the first word the
people of Drougah replied: "This gold
wa found in Coptic ground, ami wo
are Copts. You on tho contrary, are
Mussulmans, and the tombs of your
fathers are iu Arabia, go there and
seaivh for the gold which they buried,
and let alone this which our fathers
concealed hero for us." This little
religious quarrel threatened to de
velop serious consequences, and
would havo done so, without doubt
had not a detachment of soldiers,
sent in haste from Siout, come to
the rescue with ttxod bayonets. They
came none too soon, for Mussulmans
ami Christians had agreed to take pos
session of the treasure' and renew tho
discussion when they came to divide it
The gold was the cause of the tumult
tho toot of the evil; yet it was of little
value worth in the market of Cairo

at Siout made it much greater. The

the South Europeans owe their advant
ages in this re-pect to tho admixture of
Semitic blood, through contact with
the Phan:caiis and Arabs. The want
of adaptability shows itself especially

It is said that the first restrictive
liquor law ever passed in this country
was enacted in a little town in Khode

saloon keeper who soils more than ono
gallon of I'qtior to a minor shall be

temperance pledge remembered in cir-
mlation in New England was thus
worded: "I solemnly swear to abstain
from tho use of intoxicating liquors on

MONTENEGRIN WOMEN.
Their Kuril Lot an ScrvxnM to Willful
II unbuilds.
Tho Montcnegr n woman is in many
espects an object of pity to the trav
elers who pass through the strange little
principality, but there is no woman in
tho country who would not be grievously
offended at any show of sympathy. To
work incessantly and to suffer is the
lestiny of the womeu of this race.
They are not even welcomed into tho
world. A Montenegrin father, when
asked by his neighbor what the sex of
his new-born child is, answors: "God
Eardon me! it is a girl." Sometimes
0 says: "It is a serpent," which is a
poetical manner of expressing his re
gret at the birth of a daughter. Tho
girl grows up neglected and often
cursed. She carries fagots of wood on
her head in order that she may earn a
few coins with which to buy arms for
her brothers. She has no youth. At
twenty-fire she seems already old. Sho
is married voting, and cares for her
children while supporting labor in the
fields which would be hard even for
strong men. She trembles before her
father, her brother, her husband; she
only awakens to freedom and inde
pendence of action when excited
by the noise of the combat to
which she frequently follows the
warriors. She urges them on, and loads
their guns, and dresses their wounds.
Tho Montenegrin woman is rarely
beautiful of feature, and tho coarse
work which she performs soon ruins her
form. Her virtue is beyond reproach;
intrigues are unknown in Montenegro,
and gallantry would find a sharp re
proof at the point of a yataghan. The
women wander unattended wherever
they please throughout the country; for
while a Montenegrin warrior would
never think of relieving a woman from
the Heavy burden of fagots or provisions
which she may be fainting under, and
while he may, perhaps, rail at her for
her weakness, lie would not by word or
deed offer her the slightest insult. Tho
woman is almost servile with regard to
her husband; if she sees him coming
along tho road, she turns off, or passes
him rapid 1 that he may not be com
pelled to recognize her. Should tho
warrior be seen wasting his time in
loitering by his wife's side he would bo
subjected to reproach from the elders
in tho village. A few vears since ono
could not have found in the whole of
Montenegro one woman knowing how
to read or write. Latterly some few
schools to wlrch women have access
have been established.
The duties of hospitality all fall upon
the woman. It is she whb unlaces the
boots of the stranger when he arrives,
and who washes his feet, who serves
at the tabic and holds the liaming pine
knot by which the others see to eat.
The husband does not even notice his
wife unless it be to request somo menial
service of her.
It is a wonder Montenegrin babies
ever live through the severe course of
swaddling which they undergo from
their earliest day until they arc weaned.
They are strapped to boards and slung
over the backs of their mothers, and
thus, winter and summer, the make
long journeys in the mountains and
among the rocks.
When the husband falls ill it is not
the wife who cares for him, but his
parents. Etiquette demands that the
wife should not appear indifferent to
his condition, and should attend to her
duties in house and field as if he were
in no danger. But when he dies she is
exacted to burst into loud lamenta
tions, and in all the country round sing
the praises of his courage and bis prow
ess in front of the enemy.
This overworked and much-abused
creature has one gracious accomplish
ment: the Montenegrin womau is ex
ceedingly expert in embroideries, and
they are'a prominent feature of the na
tional costume. The women work at
them when they are walking along the
roads, bearing upon their heads bur
dens which seem heavy enough to
crush a nack-horse. From Edward
