Holborn Hill was but .a mile from Alesbury, and
I~was a’-"fre-qu:~nt visitor there, when young. I!
had been the residence of the I-law-thorns -for near-
ly»ha-lf-afcentuiry ; an'd.no-less than five of -its ven-
erable proprietershad gone successively downio

to "hear him talk of hard times—-of -tlie _Cl1fllCUll.y

happened _to owe several small sums- In the
course of the convcrsation,ho’wcver,he told mcthat
he hadbroken his gig some time before indriving

fine six year_old_ bay, to replace which swept -off

ny perhaps omit circumstances which would give
the transactions quite a (lll’l"t:l‘t:IlJl,l appearance ; and
by so doing, -while they gratify" their own absurd
or malignant propensity, involve society in broils
and disputes, sow dissentions among intimate con-
nections, plant daggers inthe bosoms of innocence,
and rob those of rcpuiatioi-1, whose good name was
perhaps their all. I do not know any fault which
parents should inake it their duty to coircct with
more rigor in their children, than tale bearing;
and yet it is, I much fear," a -melancholy truth,
that instead of correcting, they encourage it by
inquiries of what was said. and done among the
servaiits at such and such times; what is said and
done in tllescliools they attend ; wliatxwas said by
Mrs. and Miss such a one, at any visit they have

to be seen ; a few halfstarved shoats were squeal-

tbouglit I, Robert is dead ; I’ll look at the bury_-
ing place of the Hawthorns ;, but when I came in
sight ol'it I could not recognize a single new stone
in .it—,,-the old and well known monuments alone
appeared. . - ~ -

It may readily be supposed that I did not long
remain a stranger to the causes which had led to
this transformation.—-And I cannot say-I was
more surprised than otherwise, or that -I ‘felt less
joy than sorrow, when Ilearned that Robert Haw-
thorn was now the owner of Holborn Hill farm:
and that poor Oliver inhabited the cottage at last.
The two brothers had never changed the habits of
llieircarly days. » Bob, though now the owneI"0f

sameindustrious,carefnl, and prudent man, VVllile
0liV6|'a though stripped of all he ever was W,0|‘th.
and unable to pay even the petty rent demanded
by his present landlord, still attended to every
one’s business but his own, was still as wise in
th'eor.y, and as poor in practice as ever he had
been. _

When I called at the farm-house, Bob receiv-
ed me with a smile, and Mary brought out her
old treat,‘ sweet-cake and the finest home made
beer, which, however, I had alwaysthought bet-
ter than Oliver’s wine and scgars. ‘ ‘vVell Bob,’
said I, ‘ how happens all this.’ There -was §ome-
tthing, Ithought, of triumph in his eye, when
stretching out his hands he replied in the same
.laug’uage as that which some years before had tur-
-ned him pennyless from that very door, ‘ these
bands and this heart, Sandy, have bought and paid
for Iiolborn Hill.’ ‘

FROM THE MIRROR.

Mr. Lincoln--Please to copy the following in-
A GRANDFATHER.

oim GRANDMOTHERS-—By Gov. Livingston.
 Our grandmothers were not, it is true, so gaily

glance ofthe eye, whatever concerned the welfare
of the family. This they were studious to pro-
mote. I In this they placed their renown. They
were strangers to dissipation ; nor were they seen
constantly abroad—Their own habita-‘ion was their
delight; and the rearing their offspring their grea-
test pleasure. Content with at kind of domestic
royalty, they considered every part of the admin-
istration ofthe last importance. Queens without a
crown, they were ‘ a crown to their husbands ;’
-and not only saved the earnings by their economy,‘
but augmented their treasure by their industry.———
This was the source of their pleasure, and the
foundation of their glory. They maintained good
order and harmony in their empire, every female
servant at work under their direction, every waste
prevented by their circumspection—sucli grand-
mothers, what blessings .to their families! They
enjoyed happiness in their chimney corner, while
theiifigrand daughters seek for it in vain amidst
the tu mults of the world. Their good housewife-
ry supported families that have since crumbled
into nothing. In short, the wife appeared to ac-
quit herself of a task equal to the labor of the hus-
band, in being occupied with an infinity of cares
respecting her interior department. Careful to
inspire her female progeny with the like assiduity,
she reared offspring .like'lierself. VVith such edu-
cation, their daughters were early inurcd to join
such amiable mothers in "causing the sweet and
peaceable charms of private 'life to reign in the
family. By such virtues and accomplishments
they recommended themselves to the othersex ;
and, with lllcil‘. frugality and industry, were a bet-

of both, with thousands ! Hence man inclined to
marry—feared not to choose such ,a mate ; a mate
that would save and increase instead of squander-
ing what he had, and who was like to perpetuate
a race of diligent women. g _
- O,how often have I admired the industry of om:
grandmothers 2 How often hovel been an eye wit‘.
ness to their domestic assiduity!-' But now how
remote are we from duties so simple and endear.
ing 1 A regular and iihifoi'm.conduct would seen
a torment to our gossips and gadders. '
'l'hey want perpetual dissipation‘;a1| out. of
doors--full of vanity, and loaded with the qew-
gaws of London and Paris. (Who can find ti vir-
tuous woman? For ‘her price is far above rubies.
She seeketh wool andflax, and v_’vorketh'willingly

I never knew __a person, wliether male orlemaie,

who was addicted to perpeljual pratli.ng,_hu't' wiliat

taken. The child finds there is an expectttiioil of
some tale whenever he or she returns home, or
comes from the kitchen ; that such tales are li.-.-
tened to with smiles ; and to procure .those_s'milcs,
will make a story rather than to have none’ to re-
late. Besides, children at a very early age l‘l.1Vt:
more cunning and pent-.trati.un than they are sup-
posed to possess; they soon make the discovery

of what kind of tales will best please their interro-

gators; they lean-n that some persons are more
obnoxious tligii others; that any story to their dis-
atlvalltaige is'i‘?‘evci' ac'ccptable,—-and that others
being greater favorites, any witty thing thcy have
said, or any good action they have done, when re-
peated, is heard with delight and rapture. A child
of tolerable acute abilities will never be at a loss‘
for something to tell an inquisitive mother, aunt,
sister, or cousin. Nay the other sex are not fret:
from this inquisitive fol‘iy._ I have seeiflia man
listen -with as much attention to gossipping chil-
dren as c -or was evinced by a censorious old maid.
Thus in early life the spirit of talc: bearing is im-

-bibcd and it gains further strength as they advance

from the foolish habit which young persons of
both sexes fall into, of telling each otiier in confi-
dence every occurrence that takes place. I have
seen two gitls in meeting scarcely waiting for the
usual form of cciemonit-.s to. pass, before they will
mutually exclaini ‘ Oh, I have something to tell
you ;' then they witlitlraw from the company, ei-
the!‘ by quitting the room, or seating tliemsclrcs
in some remote corner, where they sit whisper-
ing, tittering, and now and than making an ex-
clamation aloud, to the great annoyance ofihc
sensible or well bred part or the company. Young
men too, will often descend -to the same puerilc
frivolity. But all this may be deemed lolly; and
did it rest here, the evil would not be very great.
I have said that tattiers alwaysihad weak heads,
and it too often li-.,ppcns they have also too malig-
nant, envious and cruel hearts ; and this I expect
to be the case with a ltieud of mine, for she says
‘ many are tlic-disseiitions she has occasioned. in
familit:s»and between friends.’ She has, 1 under-
stand, personal attractions and accomplishments,
sullicicnt to gain serious admirers; but her uti-
bridled tongue unbinds the chain before ~‘.-."it'.,~»}i,til5s
are too closely drawn to bebt-okeit. V‘v'h-at pros-
pect; can this young‘ woman haye of h'.tppiiicss'.>in
this world ; orwliat preparation is such conduct
for another 3 Has she once reflected that the
timewill arrive, how soon, no one can tell, when
she must give account of every idle word, too
surely for every false and malicious one.--Poor
girl, should her life be a long one, and this dread-
ful propensity continue, how wretched and forlorn
a being will she find herself; lie'r society will be
shunned like a pestilence, her very name detest-
cd, for weloatli a slanderer as we do a viver. She
will live despised and neglected, and will sink neg-
lected to the grave, the prey and victim ofher own
malice. ‘ Vlfliat can be said to warn her from a
vice, for I will not give it a gentler term, subor-
rid, so dreadful in its consequences? Religion and
honor denounce the liar and :5l;:n(lt:l‘Cl‘ with inla-
my. And I think it is a great pity that the law
has not the power to punish ofl'cntlcrs in this way,
to silence‘ the false tongue and seal the lying lips.
Tlic thief and the murderer, aréptitiislicd with

‘death, and yet what may be done by a columnis-

tor; the thief, may dcspoil us of our property ;,I
the assassili may take our life—but the calumnia-
tor may rob us ofour fame, brand our names with
