Ij F you are tempted to reveal if A tale som e one to you has told vl About another, m ake it pass,

Before you speak, three gates of gold.These narrow gates—first: “ Is it true?”

Then, 1 Is it n eed fu l?” In y o u rm in d Give truthful answer; and the next

Is last an0 narrowest, “ Is it k ind?”And if to reach your lips at last

It passes through these gateways three, Then you may tell the tale, nor fear

What the result of speech may be.—[Selected.

Miss Ida Blue Jacket recently read before the S U. L. Society the follow ing interesting paper, which contains so m uch true worth that it w ill be well to give it the wider range of hearers afforded by our H e l p e r readers; and let us profit by the suggestions therein contained.

“ There are both m asculine and fem inine whisperers.

We all know what is m eant when we hear the phrase, ‘She is a w hisperer,’ or in other words, ‘a tale-bearer.’

Some one says, ‘Paul called the long roll of the world’s v illa iny, and he put in the midst of this roll those persons known in all cities, com m unities and places as Whisperers.’

They are so called because they generally speak under voice and in a private way with their hand to the side of their mouth acting as a funnel to keep the precious information from wandering into the wrong ear.

They speak softly, not because they have lack of lung force, or because they are over­powered with the spirit of gentleness, but be­cause they want to escape the consequences of defam ation.

If no one hears but the person whispered

unto and the offender be called upon to give an account of his or her false whispering, he or she can deny the whole thing, for whisper­ers are generally first class liars.

Our voices are made in such a way that we can speak in differerent. tones.

God did not give us voices to go around, whispering evil things about our neighbors.

Saying things behind people’s backs, is the one great industry of the whisperer.

Ijet us never say one thing about any one, but what we would not hesitate to say to that person face to face. Whisperers can be found everywhere and they are of a prying disposi­tion.

They watch the people within ten miles of them and know just how many dresses Mrs. So-aud-So has and the number of chickens Mrs. Smith bought last week; in fact they know all about everybody else’s business and not their own.

They can see as far through a key hole as other people can see through a wide open door.

It is astonishing how these whisperers gather up everything.

They have telephone and telegraph wrires reaching from their ears to all the houses in the neighborhood.

W hen I say whisperers I mean tale-bearers.Miss Tale Bearer is a full-sister to Mrs.

W hisperer.There is another class of people called Fun-

Makers.If we are of good parentage, high society, or

a m illiouare's son or daughter, and allow our­selves to trifle with things that do not con­cern us, we are no better than the celebrated organ grinders that honor us with their pres­ence in the happy spring time.

We are very often too ready to believe flying reports that no doubt originated from some noted whisperer.

W e oftentim es m eet a person that is our truest friend apparently and yet Uwat friend

TESTED A N D T B U E .

Did you ever read of the coat of m ail N a­poleon Bonaparte once ordered made for his personal use?

It was to be bullet-proof, a com plete armor throughout, in w hich one would be safe to ride into the thickest of the fight, expecting to com e out unharmed.

A t the appointed tim e the covering of steel was brought before the emperor, the m an who had devised and com pleted the work holding it proudly up for inspection.

“ Put it on ,” said Napoleon.The man turned slightly pale, but u nhesitat­

ingly obeyed.“ Stand there,” again said Napoleon, in ­

d icating a remote corner of the room.The man unflinchingly placed him self as

commanded._ Taking a revolver from the table, Napoleon

fired shot after shot at the upright figure in the corner.

Scarcely a dent became v isib ’e as the bulle hit the polished surface of the m etallic dres

So well had the work been done that neitl i^er jo int nor crevice nor weak spot of any kin

yielded proof of the least unfaithfulness o the part of the m aker, and the w ily conque or, convinced that it was indeed a shield an armor, rewarded the man bounteously for h sk ill and fidelity.
