PEOPLE WILL TALK.
We may get through this world, but 'twill be very
slow,
If we listen to all that is said ds we go,
We’ll be worried A nd fretted, and kept in a stew,
For meddlesome tongues must have something to
do,
And people will talk, you know.
If quiet and modest, you’ll have it presumed,
1 hat your humble positiou is only assumed;
Youiea wolf in sheep s clothing, or else you’re a
fool,
But don’t get excited, just keep yourself cool,
For people will talk you know.
If generous and noble, they’lf vent out theii
pleen,
You’ll hear some loud hints that you're selfish and
mean;
If upright and honest, and fair as the day,
They’ll call you a. rogue, in a sly sneaking way,
For petmle will talk you kuow.
And then if you show the least boldness us heart,
Or a slight to take your own part,
They will call yoir'an upstart, conceited and vain,
But keep straightahead; don’t stop to explain,
For people will talk; you know.
If threadbare your coat, of old fashioned your bat,
Some one, of course* will take notice of that,
Aud hint rather strong that you can’t pay your
way.
But don’t get excited whatever they say,
For people will talk you know.
’ . 4’ *‘" ''
If you dress in the fashion, don’t think to- escape,
You’re gheadof your means,,or your Tailor’s un
paid ’
Or that you are after some rich old maid;
But’mi'nd your* own business, the r e’s naught to be
said,
For people will talk, you know,' ~
\ l nH M i. r ni %tlh *
If a fellow but chance tq converse with .a girl,
How the gossips will talk, arjd their scandal unfurl,
They’ll canvass your wants and talk of your
means,
And declare you’re febgagedtd a gal Inker teens,
tfor people wfll, talk, you know. ,
Hfi. ■ ->• ;
Thejf’ll talk fine before you but then at your back;
Os vetibih and Blander there is never a lack;
How kind and polite in all that they say,
But bitter as gall whsn you’re out Os the way,
For people wili talk you know.
' ■* -..• ...
Now the best thing to do is to do as you please.
Miud your own business, then you’ll be at your
ease,
Os c >urse you will meet with all sorts of abuse,
But don’t try to stop th< ra for its no use,
For people will talk, you know.
THE WAY THEY DID IT.
It may be fdnhy, but l } vd done it:—lVe
got a rib and a baby. departed
—oyfctef stews, hrandy cigar
l>ov.esj absconding* shirt buttons, whist and
demijohn. Shadows present—hoop skirts,
bandboxes, ribbons, garters, long stockings,
juvenile dresses* ti ti trumpets, little willow
chairs, cradles, bibs, sugar teats, pare
goric, hive syrup, rhubarb, senna, salt,
squills ai.d doctor’s bills. I’ll tell you
how I got, caught, t was always the darn
deM, tea-custard bashful fellow you erer
did see; it was kinder in my line to be
taken with the shakes every time I saw a
pretty girl approach me, and I’d cross the
street at any time rather than to face one:
’ wasn’t because I didn’t like the critters,
for if I was behind the fence looking
thruugli a khut iioie, I coUldti’t look long
enough. Well my sister Lib gave a party
one night* and I Started away from home
because I was too bashful to face the runs
Sic: I hung atoUnd the house Whistling
“Old Duu lueker,” dancing to keep my
feet warm* watching the heads bobbing up
and down behind the curtains* and wishing
the thundering party Would break Up* so
1 could get to tuy room, I smoked up a
bunch oi cigars, aud as it was getting late,
aud mighty uncomlottable, I concluded to
shin up the door-post. No sooner said
than done, and 1 soon found myself snug
in bed. Now, says I, let her rip! Dance
till your wiud gives out. Aud cuddling
down under the quilts, Morpheus grabbed

But presently 1 heard a still, small voice
Very much like, sister Lib’s, and it said:
‘jack, you’ll have to get up, for all tfe<
girls things are there.*
Ob, meicv! what a pickel! Think of me
m bed, all covered with muffs, shawls
bonnets and cloaks, and 20* girls ohtsidi
the door, waiting to get in! If I had stop
ped to think, I should have died 01
the spot. As it was, I rolled out among
the bonnetvVare arid ribbons iti a hurry*—
Smash went the millinery in every direc
tion. I had to dress, in the dark—for then
was a crack in the door, and girls will
pe«p—and the way I fumbled about was
death to straw hats* The critical, moment
came* l opened the door and fotiird myself
right among the women.
‘Oh, my leghorn 1’ cried one. 'My dear,
darling winter velvetl’ cried another, and
tltey pitched in—they, pulled me * his way
and that, boxed my* ears, atid ohe bright
eyed little piece—Sal. her name whs, put
her arms around my neck and kissed me on
the lips. Human nature could not stand
that, and I gave her aR good as she sent.
It was the first tirrn- I ever got the taste,
and it was powerful good. 1 believe I
could have kissed that gal from Julius
Caesar to the fourth of July.
‘Jack,’ said she, ‘we are sorry to disturb
yon, but Won’t you see me home?*
‘Yes* I will said I.
1 did see her home, and had another
smack at the gate. After that We took a
kinder turtle dove liking after each other,
both of us sighin’ like a barrel of cider
when we were away from each other.
’Twas at the Close of a glorious summer
day; the min was setting behind a distant
hen* l roost, the bullfrogs Were commencing
their evening songs, and pollywogs lh
their native mudpuddles, Were preparing
themselves for the shades of night, and
Sal and I sat Upon an antiquated backlog,
listening to the riiUsic of tlatuie, such as
tree>*toads, roosters and granting pigs, and
now and then the music of a jackass Was
wafted to our ears by the gentle iephyrs
that sighed among the ftiulleustalke,, and
heavily laden with the dejicjous odors of
hen-roosts aud pig styes, The last linger
ing ray's of the setting siih, glancing fi;qin
the buttons of a solitary horSetnab, shone,

a voice as musical as the notes of a dying
swan, ‘will jotl haVe me V She raised by
eyes heavenward) and clasped me by the
hand; had an attack of heaves abd plied
staggers, and With a sigh that drew
shoe-strings to her palate, said ‘Yes’—She,

lap. I hugged her till rny suspenders broke,
and her breath Smelt of onions she had eaten
two weeks before. Well tb make a iotig

taking a seat I watched the kisSMlie bride

a trifle more White muslin than Was pleas

and I got mad, but Was finally put td bed,
and there triy troubles ended. Good digh^

Last, night, oft Oiftlege street, We stumbled
on a character. He Was sitting on a dry
goods box, looked tired, and low spirited;
We stopped to observe him, when We dis
covered he was softly humming, ‘Take me
home to die;’ he gave himself entirely to
his sentiment. After finishing the song he
orated as follows:—“Wonder if Grisham’s

When a man has established a hotfle, ands
