PEOPLE TClCtr TALK. ~
We may go through the world, but ’twill
be very slow, - >
If we listen to all that is said as we go—
We’ll be worried and.fretted, and kept in a
stew,
For meddlesome tongues must have some-
' thing to do.
For some people will talk.
If quicCand modest, you’il have it presum’d
That your humble position is only assumed.
You’re a wolfe iii sheep’s clothing, or else
you’re a fool—
But donlt get excited—keep perfectly cool,
For pooplo will talk.
If generous and noble, they’ll vent otit tlieir
spleen.
You’ll hear some loud hints that you’re sel
fish and mean,
If uptight and honest, and fair as the day,
They’ll call you airupstart, conceited and
vain— -
But keep straight ahead and don’t stop to
explain;
For people will talk.
If threadbare your coat, or old fashioned
your hat,
Some one, of course, will take notice of that
And hint rather strong that you cant pay
yoitrway—
But don’t get excited, whatever they say,
For people will talk. *
If yon dress in the, fashion, don’t think to
escape,
For they criticise then in -a different shape;
You’re ahead of your means, or‘your tailor’s
unpaid,
But mind your own lnisincss--there’s naught
to be made,
Fox people will talk.
They’ll talk fine before you, hut then at your
back,
Of vcnoni anii slander there’s never a^ck;
How kind and polite, in all that they say,
But hitter as gall when you’re out of tlio
Way,
For people will talk.
The best way to do, is to do as you please,
For your mind, if you havo one, will then bo
’at ease—
Of eottrse, yottHl mcdOfvith all sorts of abuse
But don’t think to stop. thcin--it ain’t any
use, -- -
For people will talk, ~ .. ,
Who’ll BelJl^Dearie T '
I want a lady, young and fair,
With spirits light apd cheery,
With deep blue eyes and golden liair,-
To he ray loving “dearie.”
To bless JRO with her sunny smiles?
And cheer my heart when, weary;
To make my home an Eden here,. .
And for aye my “dearie.”
Who’ll hear with joy my coining step,
And Biglt to sec me tve.ery,
Who’ll lighten care with hspoy air,
And fondly call me “dearie.”
Wltcn dark misfortune’s hour is come,
And sorrow’s cloud are near me,

To findhcr still nty “dearie.”

While I would call her “dearie.’*
Now should this meet the eye oFone, .

Anecdote of Gen. Scott.
The pretended friends of Gen.- Scott, at
the North, tell some rather curious stories
about him:
Wedding Gift ef Rothschild to his Niece.
Thg.fashionable world of London, and in
deed all of Europe, .was, in 1853, in a state
of the greatest ferment, on account of -the
marriage of Miss Leonora Rothschild, of
London, daughter of Baron Lionel de Roth-
sfchild of that city, to her cousin, Baron Al
phonse, of Paris, son pf Baron James Roth
schild, of the latter place. All the prepara
tions wore on a scale of magnificenco" com
porting with-the position of tho wealthiest
family in the world, and the gifts from
friends ranged all tho way' from, ten-oent
pin-cushions, from Jewish charity pnpils
who were made comfortable by t\ic endow-
dowments of the bride’s family, up to a set
of jewels valued at one hundred And. fifty
thousanidollars—or as much as an East In-
diaman loaded. • -
But strangest among all the gifts was a
fat, rather dirty, strong, plain envelope with
broken seal, and addressed to Madame la
Barronno Alphonse de ’Rothschild. ’What
might this contain, pray?’ said the bridos-
maids, hustling each other excitedly. There
in hnng a table.- This marriage was tho do
ing of Anselm do Rothschild, who loved
his fair young niece Leonora, as though she
had been liis own daughter; Ho it was who
repressed tho somewhat vagrant tendencies
of yonng Alphonse—hankering after Pari-
■uatt sweets—and forced him, by a gentle
pressure, to carry out the Rothschild policy
of intermarriages. So, when the old man
had carried Itis point, there was a fluttering
among the little breasts of the fair daugh
ters pf the kindred families, and a terrible
curiosity to know how “Uncle Anselm”
would testify Jiis joy; ~ Day after day it
leaked out’that this uncle had ordered that,
and that that aifht intended to give tliis—
but what Uncle Anselm was to give no liv
ing soul could divine.. Even when the .day
came, and strong-backed porters arrived
deeply laden with the treasure's of this world
and the present-room was (liiK' set out with
gorgeous gifts, no word came from Baron
Anselm, and a dreadful suspicion came ovef
the minds of the family that he was going to
disgrace himself by giving nothing. At
tho very last moment, when the old gentle
man had depreciated immensely- -in credit
With the female members of liis family,
there was a cry that he was coming. There
was a strange mixture of twinkle in his
eye—reminding one of the stories told of
lus father—and of quivering about the cor
ners of liiillps, as he approached his pet and
kissed her. %
“Here, Leonora,” said the old Baron,
“here is a letter for yon.” And he handed
her a- fat envelope, and slided away.
“A letter, uncle t for me 1”
“Yes,” said the old man, with a stoppage
in the throat, “a letter—good advice.”—
And he disappeared. -
Uf course there was a rush to open the
letter. It contained bauk bills for five mil
lions of dollars. This was tho Banker’s
present.

Columbus, Go*, May 2d,

“ Congressmen in Straights.”
Under this hea^, the Richmond Enquircr
of the lltlrinst, tells the' following a nee- ,
dotes:
Some of tlie Confederate -Congressmen
from the Southwest met with many, inci
dents, some of them quite Amusing, in their
effort to reach homo after tho fall of" the
Confederacy. In Columbus, Ga., Mr. Her-
Jjort,-of Texas, anxious to escape a party of
Federals that were.said to ho appreaohn^, .
hurried to a livery stable to procure a h'orse, ’ ■ -
but was refused. In order to strengthen
his application, he then stated that he was
a member of Congress; whereupon soirie •
Yankee soldiers, who had not been noticed
by him, told him he was the kind of men
they wanted and took him in custody, and
the officer of the^-squad went to report bis
capture. At this time, an acquaintance of
Mr. Herbert coming up, Mr. H. told him as
_a rich joke, laughing heartily the while,
that he had been passing himself off as a
member of Congress from Texas, and that ■
these men'thought they had somebody.—
The friends, catching the hint, entered ipto -
the joke, and repeated’it to the next arrival,
who also seemed greatly amused that their
old townsman had suddenly become a mem
ber of Congress from Texas! Thinking
they had been “sold,” the soldiers told Mr.
Herbert to go, which he lost 110 time 1 in do
ing. , -.
Several of the members passed themselves -
as paroled soldiers, and were transported as
suen without detection, on Govcrnpient
steamers, to points .near their homes. Of T
these were Mr. Perkins and Mr. AVipfall.— ,
Tito latter in a disguise that precluded all
suspicion, entered freely into conversation
with the soldiers of the guard; and in
course of conversation asked what they
would do with AYigwall if they weroto
catoh him. “Oh, we would hang him cer
tain,” was the reply. ’“And you would
serve him right,” replied AYigwall. “ If I
should be with you I have no doubt I should
be pulling at the end of the rope myself”—
The double entendre was not suspected, and
its wit was therefore lost, but is worth pro
ducing now. ’
A Model “Charge.”
A Justice of the Peace, not a tlionsand
miles from St. Louis—we won’t say in what -.
direction he lives and flonrislies—the other
day delivered the following harangue to a
jury sitting upon a case being tried before
him. Our reporter feels confident of the
correctness of the charge. It is as follows;
“If the jury believe, from the evidence,
that the plaintiff and defendant, were part
ners in the grocery, and that the plaintiff:,
bought out the defendant, and gave his note
for the interest, and the defendant paid for
the note by delivering to the plaintiff a cow
which be warranted not breachyjand the
warranty was broken by reason of tta
brcabhincss of the 00 w, and fie drove the
cow. back and tendered her to the defendant,
