SEED-TIME Ml© HARVEST. 
MISCHIEF MAKERS. 
BY M. E. C. 
O ! could there in this world be found 
Some little spot of happy ground, 
Where village pastimes might go round 
Without the village tattling! 
How doubly blest that place would be, 
Where all might dwell in liberty, 
Free from the bitter misery 
Of gossip's endless prattling. 
If such a spot were really known, 
Dame t'eace might claim it as her own, 
And in it she might fix her home 
Forever and forever! 
There like a queen might reign and live, 
While every one would soon forgive 
The little slights they might receive, 
And be offended never. 
The mischief makers that remove 
Far from our hearts the warmth of love, 
And lead us all to disapprove 
What gives another pleasure, 
They seem to take one’s part, but when 
They’ve heard our cases, quickly then 
They soon retail them all again. 
Mixed in a poisonous measure. 
And then they've such a cunning way 
Of telling tales. They whisper sly, 
“Don't mention what I say, I pray, 
I would not tell another.” 
Straight to your neighbor's house they go, 
Narrating every thing they know, 
And break the peace of high and low, 
Wife, husband, son and brother. 
Oh ! that the mischief-making crew 
Were all reduced to one or two, 
And they were painted red or blue 
That every one might know them. 
Then w ould our village sure forget 
To rage and quarrel, fume and fret. 
And fall into an angry pet 
With things too much nelow them. 
For 'tis a sad degrading heart 
To make another’s bosom smart, 
And plant a dagger in the heart 
We ought to love and cherish. 
. Then let us evermore be found 
In quietness with all around, 
While friendship, peace and joy abound, 
And angry feelings perish.
