Is 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 meaning ail may know: Is it anybody’s business If a lady has a beau ? Is it anybody’s business When that gentleman does call, Or when he leaves the lady, Or if he leaves at all / Or is it necessary That the curtains should be drawn, To save from further trouble The outside lookers on ? Is it anybody’s business But the lady’s, if her beau Rides out with other ladies, And does’nt let her know ? Is it anybod’s business But the gentleman’s, if she Should accept another escort, YVliere he doesn’t chance to be? If a person’s on the sidewalk, YY’hcthcr great or whether small, Is it anybody’s business YVliere tliat person means to call? Or if you see a person, As he’s calling anywhere, Is it any of your business YVliat his business may be there ? The substance of our query, Simply stated, would he this— Is it anybody's business YYDiat another's business is ? If it is, or if it isn’t, We would really like to know, For we’re certain, if it isn’t, There are some who make it so. If it is, we’ll join the rabble, And act the noble part Of the tattlers and detainers, YY r ho throng the public mart; But if not, we’ll act the teacher, Until each meddler loams It were better in the future To mind his own concerns. Isaac T. Hopper—A True Life. This is tlie title of a new work, by L. Maria Child. It is said to be full of inter esting narratives, incidents and anecdotes, illustrative of the kindness and philanthro- phy of the subject of the biographer, who belonged to the Society of Friends. NYe pub lish the following touching and instructive narrative: THE UMBRELLA GIRL. A young girl, the only daughter of a poor widow, removed from the country to Phila delphia to earn her living by covering um brellas. She was very handsome ; with glossy black hair, large beaming eyes, and “lips like wet coral.” She was just at that susceptible age when youth is ripening into womanhood, when the soul begins to be per vaded by “that restless principle, which impels poor “humans to seek perfection in union.” At a hotel near the store for which she worked an English traveler, called Lord Henry Stuart, bad taken lodgings. He was a strikingly handsome man, and of a princely carriage. As this distinguished stranger passed to and from his hotel, he encountered the umbrella girl, and was at tracted by her uncommon beauty. He ea sily traced her to the store, where he soon after went to purchase an umbrella. This was followed up by presents of flowers, chats by the way side, and invitations to walk or ride ; all of which were gratefully accepted by the unsuspecting rustic; for she was as ignorant of the dangers of a city as wore the squirrels of her native fields.— He was merely playing a game for tempo rary excitement. She, with a head full of romance, and a heart melting under the in fluence of love, was unconsciously endan gering tlie happiness of her whole life. Lord Henry invited her to visit the pub lic gardens on the Fourth of July. In the simplicity of heart, she believed all his flat tering professions, and considered herself his bride elect; she therefore accepted the invitation with innocent frankness. But she had no dress fit to appear in on such a public occasion with a gentlemen of high rank, whom she verily supposed to be her destined husband. YY'hile these thoughts revolv ed in her mind, her eye was unfortu nately attracted by a beautiful piece of silk, belonging to her employer. Could she not take it, without being seen, and pay for it secretly, when slie had earned money enough'? The temptation conquered her in a moment of weakness. She concealed the silk, and conveyed it to her lodgings. It was the first thing she had ever stolen, and her remose was painful. She would have carried it hack, but she dreaded dis covery. She was not sure that her repen tance would be met in a spirit of forgive ness On the enventful Fourth of July, she came out in her new dress. Lord Henry complimented her upon her elegant ap pearance, but she was not happy. On their way to the gardens he talked to her in a maimer which she did not comprehend.— Perceiving this, lie spoke more explicitly. The guileless young creature stopped, look ed in his face with mournful reproach, and burst into tears. The nobleman took her hand kindly and said, “My dear, are you an innocent girl 1” “I am, I am,” she replied, with convul sive sobs. “Oh, what have I over done, or said that you should ask me such a ques tion ?” The evident sincerity of her words stir red the deep fountains of his better nature. “If you are innocent,” said he “God for bid that I should make you otherwise. But you accepted my invitations and presents so readily, that I supposed you understood me.” “XX T hat could I understand,” said she, “except that you intended to make me your wife ?” Though reared amid the proudest distinc tions of rank, he felt no inclination to smile. He blushed and was silent. The heartless conventionalities of the world stood rebuk ed in the presence of affectionate simplici ty. He conveyed her to her humble home, and bade her farewell, with a thankful con sciousness that he had done no irretrieva ble injury to her future prospects. The re membrance of her would soon be to him as the recollection of last year’s butterflies.— With her, the wound was deep. In the solitude of her chamber she wept in bitter ness of heart over her ruined air-castles.— And that dress, which she bad stolen to make an appearance befitting bis bride ! Ob, what if she should be discovered ? And would not the heart of her poor widowed mother break, if she should ever know that her child was a thief ? Alas, her wretched forbodings proved too true. The silk was traced to her ; she was arrested on her way to the store and dragged to prison. There she refushed all nourishment, and wept incessently. On the fjurth day, the keeper called upon Isaac T. Hopper, and informed him that there was a young girl in prison, who ap peared to be utterly friendless and deter mined to die by starvation. The kind hearted Friend immediately went to hex- assistance. He found her lying on the floor ot her cell with her face buried in her hands, sobbing as if her heart would break. He tried to comfort her, but could obtain no answer. “Leave us alone,” said he to the keeper. “Perhaps she will speak to me, if there is no one to hear.” AVlien they were alone together, he put back the hair from her temples, laid his hand kindly on her beau tiful head, and said in soothing tones, “My child, consider me as thy father. Tell me all thou hast done. If thou hast taken this silk, let me know all about it, 1 will do for thee as I would for my own daughter; and I doubt not that I can help thee out of this difficulty.” After a long time spent in affectionate entreaty, she leaned her young head on his friendly shoulder, and sobbed out, “Oh, I wish 1 was dead. XVhat will my poor mother say when she knows of my dis grace ?” “Perhaps we can manage that she never shall know it,” replied he. Alluring her by tliis hope, he gradually obtained from her the whole story of her acquaintance with the nobleman. He bade her be com forted, and take nourishment; for he would see that the silk was paid for, and the pros ecution withdrawn. He went immediately to her employer, and told him the story. “This is her first offence,” said he. “The girl is young, and she is the only child of a poor widow.— Give her a chanco to retrive this one false step, and she may he restored to society, a useful and honored woman. I will see that thou art paid for the silk.” The man read ily agreed to withdraw the prosecution, and said lie would have dealt otherwise by the girl, if lie had known all the circumstances. “Thou sliouldst have inquired into the mer its of the case,” replied Friend Hopper.— “By this kind of thoughtlessness, many a young creature is driven into the downward path, who might easily have been saved.” The kind-hearted man next proceeded to the hotel, and with Quaker simplicity of speech inquired for Henry Stuart. The serv ant said his lordship hadnotyetrisen. “Tell him my business is of importance,” said Friend Hopper. The servant soon return ed and conducted him to the chamber. The nobleman appeared surprised that a stran ger, in the plain Quaker costume, should thus intrude upon his luxurious privacy.— YYhcn he heard his errand, he blushed deep ly, and frankly admitted the truth of the girl’s statement. His benevolent visitor took the opportunity to “bear a testimony” against the selfishness and sin of profligacy. He did it in such a kind and fatherly man ner, that the young man’s heart was touch ed. He excused himself, by saying that he would not have tampered with the girl if he had known her to bo virtuous. “ I have done many wrong things,” said he, “but thank God, no betrayal of confiding innocence weighs oil my conscience. I have always esteemed it the basest act of which man is capable.” The imprisonment of the poor girl, and the forlorn situation in which she had been found, distressed him greatly. When Friend Hopper represent ed that the silk had been stolen for his sake, that the girl had thereby lost profitable em ployment, and was obliged to return to her distant home, to avoid the danger of expos ure, lie took out a fifty-dollar note and of fered it to pay her expenses. “Nay,” said Isaac. “Thou art a very rich man, I presume. I see in thy hand a large roll of such notes. She is the daugh ter of a poor widow, and thou hast been tlie means of doing her great injury. Give me another.” Lord Henry handed him another fifty dollar note, and smiled as he said, “You understand your business well. But you have acted nobly, and I reverence you for it. If you ever visit England, come to see me. I will give you a cordial welcome, and treat you like a nobleman.” “Farewell, friend,” replied the Quaker. “Though much to blame in this affair, thou hast behaved nobly. Mayst thou be bles sed in domestic life, and trifle no more with the feelings of poor girls ; not even with those whom others have betrayed and de serted.” When the girl was arrested, she had suf ficient presence of mind to assume a false name, and by that means her true name had been kept out of the newspapers. “I did this,” said she “for my poor mother’s sake.” With the money given by Lord Stuart the silk was paid for, and she was sent home to her mother well provided with clothing. Her name and place of resi dence forever remained a secret in the breast of her benefactor. N ears after these events transpired, a la dy called at Friend Hopper’s house, and asked to see him. When he entered the room, he found a handsomely dressed, young matron with a blooming boy of five or six years old. She rose quickly to meet him, and her voice choked as she said, “Friend Hopper, do you know me ?” He replied that he did not. She fixed hertear- ful eyes earnestly upon him, and said, “You once helped me when in great dis tress.” But the good missionary had help ed too many in distress to be able to recol lect her without more precise information. With a tremulous voice, she bade her son go into tlie next room for a few minutes ; then, dropping on her knees, she hid her face in his lap, and sobbed out, “I am the girl who stole the silk. Oh, where should 1 now be if it had not been for you !” When her emotion was somewhat calm ed, she told him that she had married a highly respectable man, a Senator of his native state. Being on a visit in Friend Hopper’s vicinity, she had again and again passed his dwelling, looking wistfully at the windows to catch a sight of him ; but when she attempted to enter her courage failed. “But I must return home to-morrow,” said she, “ and I could not go away with out once more seeing and thanking him who saved me from ruin.” She recalled her little boy, and said to him, “look at him and remember him well ; for he was the best friend your mother ever had.” With au earnest invitation to visit her happy home, and a fervent “God bless you !” she bade her benefactor farewell. Artificial Branty, There are few habits, more or less com mon among the ladies, which we should like to see abando .el ; we allude especially to the use of artificial coloring and perfumery. Perhaps ever}- young lady desires to show afair complexion, and at the same time the ruby glow of health ! hut where these are denied by nature, or, as is too often the case, destroyed by improper habits of neglect, it is a common practice to resort to artifi cial means for the purpose* of putting on an appearance which is unreal and deceptive. This is objectionable, because as no lady wishes to he understood that the white and red of her complexion are but a disguise put on to deceive the speculator, it is therefore a species of hypocrisy—what an Indian would call a lie. But within is the advan tage ? If she should find herself admired for the possession of qualities which do not belong to her, but arc only imitated, she must feel mortified for having elicited a compliment by deception, and she almost trembles lest the truth should leak out.— And how must a lady of sensibility feel, to know that she has w r on the heart and hand of a worthy man—partly at least—by a deception which her very success must bring to light ? Surely she can not ex pect that measure of respect from a cheated husband which an honest wife is entitled to receive. But there is another view to be taken of the case. A young lady of na turally good health and complexion, by keeping irregular hours, by lying in bed late, and breathing the exhausted atmos phere of her bed-room, instead of inhaling the pure, invigorating air of early morning and by indolently neglecting to take prop er exercise in the open air, becomes weak, pale, and sallow ; her beauty is gone, and now, instead of resorting to regular habits, early rising, and healthful exercise, for the recovery of the forfeited boon, she vainly attempts to supply the deficiency by the employment of rouge and lead, or other vile compounds; and while she deceives few, and is laughed at by the many, she effectually obstructs the healthy action of the pores, and tans the skin of her face into thick, dingy leather, and when tlie mask is off, her complexion appears really repulsive ; even at the early period when nature intended her to possess a fair skin, and to wear the rose of health on her cheeks, her complexion becomes old, wrinkled, and leathery; and her health—as well as her beauty—is seriously injured by the unnat ural means she employs for the restoration of the latter. In addition to the use of what are improperly enough called cosmet ics, many ladies are in the habit of employ ing perfumery, to give to their persons a sweet and agreeable odor. Ono of tlie most common of these in use is called musk, a substance of strong and certainly not sweet scent, obtained from the male of an animal sometimes called the musk-rat. A lady certainly makes a not very compli mentary concession in admitting—as she does by the use of this substance—that the strong and offensive odor given out by musk, is more agreeable than that of her own sweet person. NYc have frequently known some of these ?nusk>/ fair ones to scent a room so strongly as to turn even gentlemen sick, and drive them oait. So, too, cloves and other aromatics are used by some to sweeten the breath, and this is a mistake of kin to those already named. If ladies will rise early, take plenty of exer cise, eat wholesome food temperately, use ablutions freely and regularly, cleans the teath and mouth carefully after every meal, and serve God and their fellow mortals with a cheerful spirit, they will have very little use for rouge and whiting, musk or aromatics, padding, porcelain teeth, or pe rukes, and be more sweet, pretty, healthy, and happy, and withal a great deal more captivating. A Story for Lawyers. Every lawyer of any note has heard and read of the celebrated Luther Martin, of Maryland. His great efforts in the case of Aaron Burr, as well as his displays in the Senate of the United States, will not he forgotten. Trifles in tlie history of geni us are important, as we hope to show in this story Mr. Martin was on liis way to Annapolis, Md., to attend to Supreme Court of the State. A solitary passenger was in the stage with him, and as the weather was ex tremely cold, the passengers soon resorted to coversation to divert themselves from too much sensibility to the inclement air. The young man knew Martin by sight, and as lie also was a lwyer, the thread of the talk soon began to spin itself out of legal mat ters. “ Mr. Martin,” said the young man, “ I am just entering on my career as a lawyer ; can you tell me the secret of your great success ? If, sir, you will give me from your experience, the key of distinction at the Bar, I will ” “ Will what ?” asked Mr. Martin. “ Why sir, I will pay your expenses while you are at Annapolis,” replied the young disciple. “ Hone,” responded Mr. Martin. “ The whole reason of my success is contained in one little maxim, which I early laid down to guide me. If you follow it you cannot fail to succeed. It is this : Always be sure of your evidence.” The listener was very attentive—smiled —threw himself back in a philosophic pos ture, and gave his brains to the analysis in in true laywer patience, of “ Always be sure of your evidence.” It was too cold a night for anything to be made pecuniarily out of the old man’s wis dom, and so the promising adept in maxim learning gave himself to stage dreams, in which he was knocking and pushing his way through the world by the all powerful words, “ Always be sure of your evidence.” The morning came, and Martin, with his practical student took rooms at the best ho tels in the city. The only thing peculiar to the hotel, in the eyes of the young man, was the fact that all the wine bottles and the etcetras of fine living, seemed to recall very vividly the maxim about tlie evi dence. The young man watched Mr. Martin.— Whenever eating and drinking were con cerned, he was indeed a man to be watch ed, especially in the latter, as he was im moderately, fond of the after-dinner after- supper, after any thing, luxury of wine. A few days were sufficient to show the inci pient legalist that lie would have to pay dearly for his knowledge, as Air. Martin seemed resolved to make the most of his part of tlio contact. Lawyers, whether young or old, have legal rights ; and so the young man began to think of tlie study of self-protection. It was certainly a solemn duty. It ran through all creation. Com mon to animals and men, it was a noble in stinct not to be disobeyed, particularly where tlie hotel bills of a lawyer were con cerned. The subject daily grew on the young man. It was all absorbing to mind and pocket. A week elapsed, and Mr. Martin was ready to return to Baltimore. So was the young man, but not on the same stage with his illustrious teacher. Air. Alartin approached the counter in the bar-room. ’The young man was an anx ious spectator near him. “ Air. Clerk,” said Air. Martin, “ my young friend, Air. —, will settle my hill, agreeably to engagement.” The young man said nothing, but look ed every thing. “ He will attend to it, Air. Clerk, as we have already had a definite understanding on tlie subject. He pledged to pay my bill,” hurriedly repeated Mr. Alartin. “Where’s your evidence ?” meekly ask ed the young man. “ Evidence ?” sneered Air. Alartin. “ Yes sir,” said the young man, as be complacently responded. “ Always be sure, Air. Alartin, of your evidence. Can you prove the bargain ?” Air. Alartin saw the snare, and pulling out liis pocket book, paid the bill, and with great good humor assured the young man, “You will do sir, and get through the world with your profession without advice from me.” The young man thought so too. The Oldest Living Graduate of Yale. Rev. Payson AVilliston, whose name is the first of the unstarred names in the Cat alogue of Yale College, lives in Easthamp- ton, Alass., of whicli town he was the first minister. His class—that of 1783—was a very distinguished class. Among the emi nent men in it, avere President Samuel Austin, of the University of Vermont, who died in 1S30 ; Judge Daggett, of New Ha ven, who died in 1851 ; Rev. Dr. Abiel Holmes, of Cambridge, Alass., author of American Annals, and the father of the po et Oliver AVendell Holmes; Rev. Dr. Jed- cdiali Alorse, who died in 1826, the father of American Geography, and the father of sons, some of whom have long been the ob servers and recorders of all religious .and political occurrences in our country, and in all countries, and the eldest of whom is a distinguished painter, and inventive philos- plier, who lias taught us to send messages of thought from one end of our country to the other with lightning’s speed. Another of the class was John Cotton Smith, who died in 1845, the Governor of Connecticut—a man long known in the political and religious world ; and another was Rev. Richard S. Storrs, of Longmcad- ow, Alass., who died in 1S19—the father of an eminent son, Rev. Dr. R. S. Storrs, who is also the father of a son of the same name, a minister of great and growing distinction. Air. AYillston is perhaps more happy than any of these, his classmates—for he has outlived them all, and has had a longer time than any ofthemforthe joyful service of God on the earth. He is also the father of sons of piety and liberal beneficence ; one of wbom Air. Samuel AATlliston, of East- hampton, though not educated liimself, lias himself done as much for the interest of ed ucation as is now asked of all the alumni of Yale to doforthat College; he has given one hundred thousand dollars to literature— having founded an excellent Academy, with two large buildings, at Eastliampton, at an expense of fifty thousand dollars, and having presented the same sum to Amherst College. He has also built, or chiefly built, one or two meeting-houses, a town hall, &c. Air. AVilliston was 90 years old June 12. A diseased and refractory leg has compell ed him to take up his abode at present, at the celebrated water-cure of Dr. Alunde, at Northampton, where the writer of this had the pleasure of conversing with him Alon- day. He would have rejoiced, he said, had he been able to have this week visited his Alma ALater. He may he regarded as an eminently happy man—happy in the rec ollections of the past—happy in his entire submission to the will of Providence—hap py in the blessed anticipation of tlie future. |Acw York Times. "Good AIanneks.—The good sound sense of the subjoined extract should recommend it to the attention of all those who are in any way entrusted with the care of youth : “ It is a matter of sound policy to cultivate the manners of our children. For gentle manners, and a kind and obliging address will do more to gather around us firm and enduring friends, thaft strength of mind and superiority of attainments. The manners to which we refer are the fruit of the cultiva tion of the mind and heart ; the outpourings ot benevolence, sincerity and inward purity. In all the departments and professions of life, we prefer, other things being equal, to avail ourselves of the survices of persons of agreeable and obliging manners. They are coin of great intrinsic value, and every where current. AVe may be allowed to glance at some of the features of good man ners, such as we desire to have tauglit and practised in our schools, and such as all per sons in well ordered society are bound to observe. The conventional rules of socie ty are not arbitrary enactments, which ary who have a right to set at defiance. They arc essential to the maintenance and enjoy ment of social intercourse, and the further ance of its highest ends. Every person who enjoys the privileges and benefits of society is morally hound to observe its wholesome rules. Ill breeding is a s n against good morals, as well as a branch of social laws. No person has any right to act the clown in well ordered society, or to he unkind and offensive, setting at defiance the laws made for its convenience and com fort, by common consent. The leading feature of good maimers is a scrupulous ob servance of all the rules that regulate soci al intercourse. Let the pupils of our schools be required to observe them in their intercourse with each other and their teach ers, and upon all other occasions. Alany of these rules, abstractly considered, are little things; and yet in their influence upon the convenience and pleasure of social inter course, they arc great things. A particle of dust is a small thing, yet in the eye, which it irritates, it becomes great in its in fluence. So and infringement of the rules of itself of small moment, hut it often be comes important in the friction and irrita tion which it produces in social intercourse.” “ You flatter me,” said an exquisite the other day, to a young lady who was praising the beauties of his moustache. “For heav en’s sake, ma’am,” interposed nu Indiana hoosier, “don’t make that chan any flatter than be is.
