Ia it Anybody’s Business.
Ia it anybody’s business.
If a gentleman should choose,
To wait upon a lady,
If the lady don’t refuse!
Or—to speak a little plainer—
That the meaningall may know—
Is it anybody’s business
If a lady has a beau ?
If a person’s on the side-walk,
Wnether great, or whether email,
Is it anybody’s business
Where the person meanr to call!
Or, if you see a person,
As he's calling anywhere,
Ia it anybody’s business
What bis business may be there!
The substance of our query,
Simply stated would be this;
Is it anybody’sbusioessa
What another’s business is I
If it is, or if it isn’t,
We would really like to know,
For we’re sure if it isn’t
There are some who make it so.
If it is, we’ll join tire rabble,
And act the noble part
Of all the tattlers ana defamers r
Who throng the public mart *,
But if not, we’ll act the tcaeber
Until each meddler learns,
It were better in the future,
To mind bis own concerns.
The Wedding Ring.
As the earth with sea is bounded,
And the winter world with spring,
So a maiden's life is rounded
Witha golden wedding ring.
This old world is scarce worth seeing,
’Til! love waves his purple wing,
And we gage the bliss of being.
Thro’ a golden wedding ring!
Trust.
Trust the swamp fire that beguiles,
Trust the tenrs of crocodiles,
Trust the brokers, trust the lawyer,
Trust the rock that trembles o’er you;
But never trust the tears that lie
A mbnsbcd in a maiden’s eye.
Trust the poet’s dream of glory,
Trust the gaberlunzie’s story,
Trust patriotic politicians.
Trust financiers and steam physicians;
But. when girls sigh.as they are wont.
Just gentla whisper—"noyou don't''
Pure and undefiled religion is the
sheet anchor, of happiness—the perfec
tion and glory of human felicity i its es
sence is a conscience void of offense to
ward God and man.
A Gem.—A young minister lately
said,when near death,’• Formerly death
appeared to me like a wide river, but
now it has dwindled to a little rill; and
my comforts, which were as the rill,
have become the broad and deep stream.’
An exchange gives the following ad
vice •
'Be content as long as your mouth is
full and your body warm—remember
the poor—kiss the pretty girls—don’t
rob your neighbors hen roost—never
pick an editor’s pocket, nor entertain
an idea that he is going to treat—kick
dull care to the deuce—and be sure to
take a paper.
'If you don’t give me a penny,’ said a
young hopeful to his mama, 'I know a
boy that’s got the measels. and I’ll go
and catch them, so I will.’
Lapdogsare not the only puppies who
engross the attention of ladies. Many
a senseless dandy runs off with those
purest diamonds of this world—a young
girl’s affections.
When you see a young man contract
ing debts improvidently, beyoud his
certain means of liquidation, tell him
he is on the road to ruin. It is a bad
road to follow, and alike ruinous to all.
“I see through it now,” as the maid
servant said when she knocked the bot
tom of tiie pail out.
One of the latest cases of absence of
mind, is that of a man having read
through a work and turning down a
leaf to recollect where he left off.
®ripf Stems.
“ VARIETY; THE SPICE OP LIFE."
A gentleman stepping on board the
boat at Brooklyn Ferry, a short time
ago, stumbled against the pail which,
as usual, a woman was using in clean
ing the floor, when (he people were
flocking into the cabins. A by slander
.remarked:
* He has kicked the bucket.’
' Oh no,’ said another, 4 he has only
.turned a little pail.’
To Succeed in Business.—Ad
vertise and keep good-natured. The
former will bring custom, and the latter
will retain it. A smile draws like a
poultice, while a vinegar-visaged clerk
is nearly as bad for trade as unripe fruit
and a sickly summer.
The onion, it is aaid, destroys the at
tractive quality of the magnet. It has the
same effect with young ladies.
A thief being caught robbing a bank
when asked wliat he was doing, answer
ed—" only taking notes.”

JIow to Ascertain the Distance
•ok a Thunder storm.—Place the
finger on the pulse, and the moment the
flash of lightning is seen, commence
counting the beats. If you feel six
pulsations before you bear the thunder,
the storm is one mile away; if twelve
pulsations, it U two miles, and so on.
A Sharp Idea.—Sooner than marry
a woman of fifty, I’d take two at five-and-
twenty.
The French Legation at Washington,
it is stated, has iutimati-d that should
hostilities ensue between the United

The little finger of a hand.

"I've seen better days,” as the chap

A Daguerreotype of the Devil
A friend of ours from Virginia related
to us the following graphic and emiently
faithful description of liia Santanic
Majesty, as given by a negro preacher
to bis " colored brudderin.” It is as
genuine as it is novel and amusing, and
we give the exact words of the sable
preacher: “ Stan ’side niggers, luf me
tell you. I hab a dream and see
debit. He bab an eye like do
he hab a nose like canoo; he hab
ear de same as ‘bocca leaf; he had
shoulder like de Blue Ride, and he had
tail like de rainbow."

Right After All.—An Irish gentle
man hiving a party to meet at a tavern,
exclaimed, on arriving and finding the
room empty : “So I am first after all.”
The waiter informed him that he was
mistaken—that his friends had been
there and were gone. “ Very well,” repli
ed the Hibernian, "then I have made no
mistake, for, as they were all here be
fore me, surely I was right in saying I
was first after all.'’
“ Young man, do you believe in a
future state ’
“ In course 1 does—and what's more
1 intend to enter it as soon as Betsy
gets her wedding things ready.’’
" You mistake me; do you believe in
a future state of reward and punish
ment?”
“ Most assuredly ; if I should cut
mugs with a red-headed woman, I sould
expect my hat indented by the first broom
stick sbe could lay her hands on.”
The average existence of great em
pires, from infancy to filial dissolution,
lias been about two thousand years.
England and France arc now in the last
centuries of that period. Some nations,
however, wear out in a century or two.
Think.—Believe me this world is
not a world in which we can do well
without thinking,and least of all, do well
in the matter of our souls. Don’t think,’
whispers Satan; he knows that an un
converted heart islike a dishonest trades
man’s book—it will not bear a close in
spection. ‘Consider your ways,’ says
the word of God—stop and think—con
sider and be wise. Well says the
Spanish proverb, ‘Hurry comes of the
devil.’ Just as men marry in haste,
and repent at leisure, so they make mis
takes about their souls in a minute, and
then suffer it for years.
One sometimes leads a great deal in
a few lines. There is pliylosophy enough
in the following to set up an A. I. “ pio
fes»or” in business. Fast horses soon
tire, and fast young men are a good deal
like (hem. The youth that goes
strongat twenty willfind himself at forty
five with a tombstone growing out of his
head.
The. following notice was lately fixed
at a church in Ilcrford-hire, England
and read in the church ; “ This is to
give notice that no person is to be buried
in this churchyard but those living in the
parish; and those who desire to be
buried are desited to apply to the parish
clerk.”
The preacher that warms up his
hearers with words that bum, has been
consulted with by the deacons upon the
propriety of having no fire in the church
lor the balance of the seasons.
The Mother.—A writer beautiful-
y remarks that a man’s mother is the
representative of his maker. M isfortune,
and even crime, set up not barriers be
tweeu her and her son. While his
mother lives he has one friend on earth
who will not listen when he is slandered,
who will not desert him when he suf
fers, who will sooth him in his sorrows,
and speak to him of hope wheu he
ready to despair. Her affections know
no ebbing tide. They flow on from
pure fountain and speak happiness
through this vale of tears, and cease only
at the ocean of eternity.
If there be a situation wherein women
may be deemed to appropriate angelic
attributes, it is when she ministers, as
only woman can, to the wants and the
weakness of the invalid! Whose hand
like hers can smooth his pillow ? whose
voice so effectually silences the querule-
usness of his temper, or soothes the
anguish of his disease? Proffered by
her, the viand hath an added zest, and
even the nauseous medicament is divest
ed of its loathsomeness.
