I.Y MEMO (SIAM.
BY FRANKLIN W. FISH.
The following touching lines were re
cently written on the death of two beauti
ful children—a sweet little girl and a boy:
They are not dead, these little buds of ours,
Nor even faded by the winter’s breath—
But arc transplanted into lovelier bowers,
By a kind gardeuer, we have misnamed
■ Death.
And when some day our footsteps journey
thither,
We shall reclasp them there in all their
bloom,
Where storms come not, nor frosts nor cold
winds wither,
Within a garden whose gate is the Tomb.
Perhaps this land may have a dismal portal,
And astern porter stand beside the door;
But every bud therein is made immortal,
In the glad sunlight of God’s golden shore.
We weep but for ourselves—we feel the
sorrow
Of vacant chairs, and little voices flown ;
Yet even grief is transient, for to-morrow
We, too, shall gather at the Great White
Throne.
I take thy hand, 0, upknowu frienul and
press js,
Because I, too, have borne my load of
care;
Could we but see the hand that smites,we’d
bless it,
E’en in the midst of our most wan de
spair.
For we have prayed “God bless each gentle
angel,”
With trembling voice, and sight by tears
made dim—
And how could he bestow more glad evangel
Than when He takes our darling ones to
Him?
They shall not suffer more. Had wo not
rather
Confide them to His care, with faithful
iuen icav| ! tfiem to the ionderesr
' AOvI h !*r ,
father,
Whose life i6 fleeting and whose end is
dust?

MINDING ONE’S OYVA BUSI
NESS.
Editor Herald:
“O wad some pow’r the gtf. ie gi t e us,
To see oursels as others see us 1”
It is curious to see tho disposition
that prevails witli many people to in
terfere with the business of their
neighbors, and to neglect their own.
They are always on the look out for
something new, some fresh piece of
scandal, some misrepresentation or
calumny, and really glow with delight
when they are able to indulge in their
peculiar propensity. There are in
every largo community, individuals
who for years have been busily en
gaged, day in and day out, in hunting
up the short comings of their fellow
creatures, and spreading the details be
fore the world in as vivid language as
possible. The idea of attending to
their own business never seems to
strike them at all. Their own follies
and frailties escape their notice, and
are regarded as of no account what
ever. But just let another take a
false step, or let any member of a
neighboring family commit an over
sight or an error, and the fact is caught
up with eagerness, is retailed into a
grave and sertous charge from door to
door and magnified as it goes. In the
great affairs in life, in the multitude o)
cases, the successful man is the one
who attends to his own business, while
the reverse is the ease with the inter
meddlers, the scandal-mongers, the cur
iosity hunters, the mischief makers,
and the Paul Prys generally of the
hour. And how can it be otherwise ?
How can a man watch his own affairs
properly —how can he attend to his
own business, fulfill bis engagements
and discharge his duties, if he be four
fifths of his time with the affairs of
other people? The idlers to be found
on the corners of the streets, the
loungers of bar-rooms, and all the nu
merous class of do-nothings who con
stitute a oublic pest to society, are for
the most part to be classed and ranked
with the intermeddlers of thetime, who
are on qni vive for something new and
racy; something to injure the good
name of their fellow man,either in name
or credit; something that has the mere
shadow of truth for its foundation, but
that may be exaggerated by distribu-
tion and perversion, into the serious,
painful and discreditable.
If the good old system of minding
one’s own business,could only be recog
nized and practiced universally, the
wheels of society would roll along much
more smoothly; there would be less
unkindness and ill-will in the world,
and far more comfort, courtesy, true
soeial enjoyment, genuine contentment
and happiness. are told that this
country is peculiarly addicted to the
infirmity of idle curiosity. Asa peo
ple we seem to be remarkably meddle
some. The affairs of our neighbors are
watched with singular vigilance, and
their modes of dress, their style of liv
ing, their revenue, the very food they
eat, are constant objects of criticism
and This is the case not
only in the large cities, and towns, but
also in the country. It thus becomes
necessary to live, not as one couid wish)
not as seems best suited to one's family
and circumstances, not in conformity
with true economy and self-independ
ence, but so as to harmonize with the
views or to escape the animadversions
of the critics and lookers on outside.
And hence it is that many live for
others and to satisfy the judgment of
others,and not in conformity with their
own views, and for the gratification of
their own wishes. Nay! there are
thousands who have gone deliberately
to ruin, who have sacrificed themselves
in fact, rather than be subjected to the
severe remarks of the curious, and pry
ing and intermeddling. In other
words they have lived beyond their
means, and simply with the object ol
satisfying the many who neglect their
own business for the purpose of watch
ing over, analyzing, and criticising
the affairs of others. In some cases,
this nuisance of prying, retailing and
falsifying, becomes intolerable, and the
sensitive nud diffident are absolutely
*’ .t l_, n
someone from every city, town, and
hamlet, could furnish forcible illustra
tions of the above.
Now, Mr. Editor, nothing can be
more annoying than a concioiisness
that idle and nialieious individuals arc
constantly on the lookout for an oppor
tunity to misrepresent and caluuiinate —
that this disposition is one of animos
ity and malevolence combined, and that
in consequence of some morbid perver
sion of the moral nature, the anxiety
and unhappiness of another constitute
a source of to such a specimen of the
intermeddling, the suspicious, and the
malignant.
How often is it the case that three
or four individuals are engaged in con
fidential conversation, when another
makes his or her appearance (not often
the ladies, however, for they, we all
know, are not so curious to know every
thing), listens against all rules of pro
priety and gentlemanly breeding,
oatches up a word here and there, and
then hastens elsewhere (Ratisy Sniffle
like) to repeat and distort. It is the
easiest thing in the world for such a one
to see all the flaws and defects in the
human character, but they are ever
blind to any quality of virtue, integ
rity, honesty, and truth, tfrey never see,
anything good.
No mortal man i.s perfect. There are'
few families, or individuals, without
infirmities, some painful associations,
some erring relatives, or friends, or
some unfortunate connections. But it
is a part of duty, of courtesy, and of
brotherly good will to overlook and
avoid all allusion to such sad features
or circumstances. Or, if compelled to
advert to them, to do so in a spirit of
forbearance, generosity and magnanim
ity. Not so, however, with the inter
meddler. His disposition is to make
bad worse, to exaggerate follies into
crimes, to carry discord into families
that were before tranquil and happy, to
hunt out forgotten errors and frailities,
and recapitulate them in strong lan
guage —in short to become a pest, a
nuisance, and a curse to social life.
The penalty too, is fearful for him.
He is certain to be despised and ,con
demned, to be disliked and avoided.
His own affairs will infallibly go be
hind-hand, and his presence be avoided
like that of a moral pestilence, and he
go to the grave unwept and
Vinbooored. Oh ! that as a peo
ple we were more like “ Him, who
went about doing good.”

MISCELLANEOUS.
Bible Qoutiition* not in (he
Bible.
There are many familiar phrases
in constant use which the majority
of people suppose have their origin
in the Bible, and use them in that
connection. The N. Y. Observer
corrects this error in the following
manner. But, as the phrases are
very fine, we still love to use them.
To prevent misquotations from the
Scriptures, it gives them thus :
‘God tempers the wind to the
shorn lamb.’ From Sterne’s Sen
timental Journey to Italy.
‘ln the midst of life we are in
death.’ From the ‘Butial Service’
and this was originally a hymn of
Luther’s.
‘Bread and wine which the Lord
hath commanded to bo received.’—
From the English Catechism.
‘Not to be wise above what is
written.’ Not in Scripturo.
‘The merciful man is merciful to
his beast.’ The Scriptural form is
‘A righteous man regardeth the
life of his beast.’—Prov. xii: 10.
‘A nation shall be born in a day.’
In Isaiah it reads, ‘Shall a nation
bo born at once ?’
‘As iron sbarpeneth iron, so doth
a man the countenance of a friend.’
‘lron sharpencth ; so a man sharp
eneth]the countenance of his friend.’
—Proverbs xxvii: 17.
‘That he who runs may read.’—
‘That he may run that rcadeth.’
—llab. ii: 2.
‘Owe no man anything but love.’
‘Owe no roan anything, but love
one i?iUried to Heayen in 8
privilege,’ Not in tho Bible.
Eve was not Adam’s helpmate,
but merely a help meet for him ;
nor was Absalom’s long hair the in
strument ef his destruction ; his
head, and not the hair upon it, hav
ing been caught in the boughs of
the tree. (2 Samuel xviii: 9.) A
London wig-maker once bad a sign
upon which was painted Absalom
suspended from the branches of the
oak by his hair, and underneath
the following couplet:
‘lf Absalom iia<Jn't worn his own hair,

Everything is marked at a set
tled price. Our time, our labor,
our ingenuity, it’s so much ready
money, which we are to lay out to
the best advantage. Examine,
compare, choose, reject; hut stand
to your own judgment and do not,
like children, when you have pur
chased one thing repine that you
do not possess another, which you
would not purchase. Would you
be rich ? Do you think that the
single point worth sacrificing eve
rything else to ? You may be rich.
Thousands have become so from
the lowest beginning, by toil, and
diligence, and attention to the min
utest articles of expenses and pro
fit. But you must give up the
pleasures of leisure, of an unem
barrassed mind, and of a free, un
suspicious temper. You must learn
to be hard, if not unjust ; and as
for embarrassment of a delicate and
ingenuous spirit, jt is necessary for
you to get rid of it as fast as possi
ble. You must not stop to enlarge
your mind, polish your taste, or
refine your sentiments, but must
keep on in one beaten track, with
out turning aside to the right hand
or the left. “But,” you say, “I
caunot submit to drudgery like
this; I feel a spirit above it; then
only do not repine because you are
not rich. Is knowledge the pearl
of price in your estimation ? That,
too, may be purchased by steady
application, and long, solitary
hours of study and reflection.—
“But,” says the man of letters,
“what a hardship it is that many
an illiterate fellow, who can not
construe the motto on his coach,,
shall raise a fortune, while I pos
sess merely the common conveni
ences of life. ’ Was it for fortune
then, that you grew pale over tho
midnight lamp, and gave the
sprightly years of youth to study
and reflection ? You have then
mistaken your path, and ill.,
employed ycur industry. “What
reward have I then for all my la
bor ? ’ What reward? A large,
comprehensive soul, purged from
vulgar fear and prejudices, able to
interpret tho work of man and God.
A perpetual spring of fresh ideas,
and the conscious dignity of supe j
rior intelligence. The most char.-*
actoristic mark of a great mind is
to choose someone object which it
considers important, and pursue
that object through life. If we ex
pect to purchase we must pay tho
price.—[Ex.
