SOME FOLKS.
There ia a claaa of people in every commuuity,
whose highoat aim in life appeara to be to do all
the harm, and create all tha misery and heart
burninga possible. We all know aucb persons
and in.tiuotively dread them, for do they ever
spend one hour in our company without inflict
ing aome disagreeable atory upon us, or endeavor
ing to sow the aeoda of doubt and suspicion iu
our miuds ? They approach us with professions
of friendship, and under that disguiso they pour
into our eara their unworthy stories. We do
not think it possible to meet a moro thoroughly
disagreeable person than this same meddler in
other people'a affairs. It ia almost impossible
to escape them or to avoid listening, even though
wo know tha thinga they tell us are almost with
out foundation, except within their own evil
imagination. They addreaa us so confidentially ;
they ara ao much intereated in all that pertains
to ourselves. They don a knowing look, ami
whisper in the low tones of privileged friendship
"something they have heard," and "I thought
you ought to know it" "Well, a cortaiu person
told me that your son" (or, perhaps, your brother
or your husband, aa the caae may be) "does uol
keen the best of comiany when he is out from
home, and ia often guilty of taking a drink too
many and playi canle too, ilreauiuliy. truly
think of it ! "
Our dear friend goea on at some length to
discuss the evils or the day, and card playing
and drinking in particular. Then, having no
more goeaip for that tunc, takes leave of us
until her stock of scandal ia replenished. Hut
the imaerablo tale rankles in our heart (or days,
lUlina aa with aad misgivings. Or, perhaps
the blow ia aimed at tha sacred shrine of wifely
love, and we are told in pitying tones, accom
panied with commiserating glancee, that he
whom we hare truattd with our holiest thoughts
and crowned with all tha wealth of our woman's
love, is false to the sacred trail The seeds of
misery thua aown, may grow and strengthen,
fed by IriHee, ui.nl hearta ara aatrauged ami
live embittered for all coming time.
Oh, thu misery caused, the hearthstones
broken by the baleful tongue of one real Men
.1. signing ci 1 store ! The lives wrecked by this
tattler, 1 Ins meddlesome busybody ! No home
is safe from their venemous attack circle loo
sacred lor their intrusion. Many a wedded iiatr
can date their lifelong wretcbednaaa from this
sonroe. Ah ! the power for harm wielded by a
falae, malioioua tongue, eternity alone can tell.
We have aean this demon in disguise, in the
young, fresh souls of aweet girls Just bedding

The aborigines found in America by the dis
coverers were termed Indians, because the ob
jeotivo point in voyages to the West was Indis,
and heuce when the Western I'ouliucut was
discovered It was hailed as the long-sought for
country of fabulous weslth and mystery. In
many respects the manners and customs of the
Indian tribes showed evidences of a tradition
which must have descended to them (mm the
human race in Asia Their religion, theory of
origin ami aciiuaintencc with the events relate!
in the lliblo, and of general mytliologiual Ixdiof

Very much of the Indian character and origin
may lie learned from the meaning of even the
simplest ilsncea. Itav id danced before the ark,
