SCANDAL.

The substance of the following is no)uP C n 'Mk" "Kf-

fiction. In neighboring village, whose inhabitants, like the good people ot Athens, wre much given to "either tell or hear some new thing," lived Squire P. a facetious, gtod naturcd sort of a body, whose jwkes are even yet a matter of village record. Sister Stlly was Brother Jonathan's widow an old lady of about 45 aht went to all meetings kept a regular account l every birthjdeatb, and marriage, with their dates--doctored all the babes, knew every yaib in the neighborhood (bowed U the young married women now to make soap, and when they had bad luck made every child in the house set cross-legged un til the lurk changrd. In hue, she was kind of neighborhood factotumspent her time in going from hotiie to house, grinding out a grist ot liandei to each, as occasion required, but ai ways concluded with 4Mh way of the transgressor is hard;" "poor Mrs. A. or B. (s the case was I pity her from the bottom ot my heart," or some such very soothing flection. Sister Sally was always very fond of asking strati gers and others, without regard to time r place, "the statu of their mindshow they employed their minds." &c. These questions were generally fol lowed by k string of scandal, which was calculated to destroy the peace and happiness of some of her best neighbors; but like other narrators of the kind, she considered such intellec tual murder as ither establishing her own rair reputation, or as the only mode of entertaining the neighborhood UieieUy rendering her society agreea ale. One warm summers afturnoun. as the Squire was sitting near his door smeking his pipe, siitei Sally was pas ing by with great speed, ruminating on the news of tb dav. when tin: Squir brought her suddenly to4 as the sailors say, by "what's your hurry, sister Sally? walk in." The old lady, who never wanted a second invitation, went into the house, and the following dialogue soon commenced. "Well, Squire, I have been thinking this (ore aoon what an useful man you might be, if you'd only leave iff your light conversations, us the good book says, and become a scnou man you might be an ornament to both church and state, as our minister savi." "Why, as to that, sister Sally, a cheerful countenance I consider as th best index of a grateful heart, and you know what the Bible ayun that sub ject ' When ye fast, be not as the ku provritts of a sad countenance; but an noini thy head and wash thy face, that inoa appear m-r unto men to fast." Now, there Squire that's just what i toid you gee how you have the scripternt your tongue's end; what an use ful man you might be in our church, if jou a oniy oe a deer as well at a bearer of the word." "As to that,ei6ter Sallv, I don't see that you 'professors,' as you tall them, arc a wnu uetitr man i am, in pri l T I ... .1 vhtu. 1 respect a sincere profession as much as aay maa; but I know enough of owe of your chuch, whom you think a great deal of, to know that the u no Ittttr ihan efu should ic.'" At these muendaes sister Sally's eves began to twinkle ; she tat down beside the Squire, in order to speak in a lower tone gave a loud groan for the frailty of her sisters in the church, such as she always gave in meeting in time of prayr spread her handkerchief over her lap, and all things being in readiness for a regular siege of "scandalum mnguatum," she commenced fire. 4Nw,Sauire, I want to know what you meaa by one of our church! I know what you mean the trollop 1 a'ld'nt like so many curls about her head, when she told her experience." The Squire finding curiosity was putting bis boots on, had no occasion to ndd spurt to tht heels, for the old lady had one in her head that wat wortk both of them. Accordinalv be had no peace until he had contented to explain what he had meant by the ex pression -in fnvare this wat a dear word with sister Sail?. "Now, sister Sally, will you take a Bible oath, that you will never com municate what I am about to tell you to any living being, and that yea wilt keep it while yoo live at a most inviolable secret t" "Yet, Seuire, 1 declare I woa't never tell nobody nothing at long at I breathe the breath of life; ana Pi I take a Bible oath on it ; there, sartin at I live Squire, before yo or any other majistrute ia tha whelo antrj"

j "Well then, you know when I went

"Yes, yes, Squire, and 1 know who went with you too -Susey B and Dolly T. and her sister Prudence." " Never mind who went with me. sister Sally; there was a whole lot of passengers but, but" None of your bets, Squire out with it-if folks will act so a trollop" "Butoister Sallv, I'm afraid you'll bring me into the scrape" "1 ve tola" you over and over aeain. that nobody never shall knww nothing about it, and your wife knows I an't leaky" 'My wife ! I would'ot have her k whl 1 was going to say for the world -wnyj sitter sally it she should knowit" "Well, dWt be afear'd, Suuire once for all, l'Jl take my oath that no living critter shan't never as long as I hire, know a lisp onV 'Weil, then if rou muft know it I lept with one of the likeliest of your church roembri nearly half the way up::: bister Sally gave another eroan.muS ering to herself "The likeliest of our church members! I thought it w.-.a Sucey B. likeliest! this comes of flattering a trollop. Well, d e thing I know 'the way of trarisgrewor is hard!' but I hope you'll never tell no body on't Squire; for sartia as "the world, if sich a thing should be knowri our church would be scattered abroad like sheep without a shepheid." Ina few moments tister Sally fo k her departure; giving the Squirr nnother caution ard a lv wh.k, as e said good by lei me al. ne lor a secret. It Was hot man) days before 5qsire P. received a Ver polite i.ote from (wr.sou y. requesting him to ,tej.d a m-etir.gof the rhutth, in crder to acttie some difficulties Willi one of tho members, who, in order to cb r up hr character requested Squi.e p. q be present. The parson, who was a ve ry worthy man, knew the frailty of tome o oe' weak sisters, 4s sister Sally called tl etri and as he was a particular frieau of Squire P's, requested him to sy u.,tli. ing of it to his wife. But the Squire took the hint, and telling his ijt ihtt there was a meeting, requited hei ;0 be ready by 2 o'clock, and lie weuld cull tor her. According the hour of meeting t ame the whole n ighhorhoi.d fl -ckecl to the house. All eyes, were alternat. : on the Squire and Susey B. Mrs. Y, stared, and Susey lorkrd t though 'the had been crying n fortnight. The. Parton, with softened toi,r, and iu delicate a manner as poible, sltrd the ttory about Susey B. which he observed was in tvery b ,J, V nw.uih, and which he did not hm fclf believe a word of and Squire P. btW ril,-,i on to stand as a witness after punti .4 in lively colon the eviU of slandc, ith which their neighborhood had been inletted, and parti ularlv the called on Sifter SiHy in the !r. ,tt. m f the meeting, and before the i-mr.h, to come eat and make ackno!,dg. ment for violating a Bible oath! Sister ..j . s.vujBj was, mat she on v totA Brother bnipe't wife on'i and sh rnnb an oath that the would'nt tc II nobody else on't. Brother Snipe's if. had. it appears, sworn Roger Toothaker't sisier never 10 tell nobvdy on't end rt it went ihroagh the neighhi.rheod. itie beuire then eknowle(td k. fore the whole meet! n, that I.e'W as he told Sister Sally, sUpt with a etiurth member, half the way up to C and that he believed her to r of the likeliest of their members, it much at the never would hear n. r retail siWer. All eyes were now nl.ernately on Susey B. and Squire P's wife - Sister Sally enjoyed a kind of dibolical tHumph, which the Souire sooner perceived than he hi is bed his sentence by declariag that the h vch member to whom he alluded. am lawful wiftlf aiHer illf drew :n hr a huge blatk hood, at a turfl der bit shell, and marched away inta oae corner af the room, like a dog that uuu oeen Kininp sheeo. The Samr. at utual, burst into a fit of lauehter. from which kit wife, Susev B. aJiv n the Partaa, could not refrain joining and Parson W. afterwards at know. ledged that Squire P. had riven a death blow to scandal in the neighbor, hood, which all bit preaching could uei nave uonc.
