Receipt For making Tattlers.

Take a handful of the vine called Runabout, the same quantity of the root called Nimbletongue, a sprig of the herb called Backbite, (either before ot after the dogdays,) a tablespoonful of Dont-you-tell-it, six drachms Malice, a few drops of Envy—which can be purchased in any quantity at the shops of Miss Tabithe Teatable and Miss Nancy Nightwalker. Stir them well together and simmer them lor half an hou» over the fire of Discontent kindled with little Jealousy; then strain it through the rags of Misconstruction, hang it upon a skein of Streetyarn, shake it occasionally and it ia fit for use. Let a few drops be taken just before walking out, and the subject will be enabled to speak all manner of evil, andth&t continually.
