IT IS NOT YOUR BUSINESS WRY Tho following lines are not limited to any particular locality, but are ap plicable to every neighborhood : Would you like to know the secrets Of your neighbor's house and life? How lie lives, or how he doesn't, And just how he treats his wife? How he spends his time of leisure, Whether sorrowful or gay, And where he goes for pleasure, To the concert or the play? If you wish it, I will toll you— Let me whisper to you sly— If your neighbor is but civil, It is not your business why. In short, instead of prying In other men's' affairs, If you do your own but justice, You will have no time for theirs Bo attentive to such matters As concerns yourself alone, And whatever fortune flatters, Let your business be your own. One word by way of finis— Let me whisper to you sly— If you wish to be respected, You must cease to be a pry. I 'wouldn't have been Robinson Crusoe, not for five hundred a year and no i3haelk. It's all worry well being yoUr own fore Man and master, and so on, but then such a life to my mind's like a well-flagged deal-board just ready for flooring. You've been over it, and touched it well down with your jack-plane, and finished oil' with your trying-plane, and there it Might to be if it ain't—seamped just like a bit o' satin, 'every knot just like a smooth -brown eye, and every bit o' grain standing out as if polished ; but then turn it over, and it's all as rough and shaggy, and splintery as can be. It's all worry well being master and ganger, but then-.you has to be jour neymen and laborer into the bargain. But that ain't it so much. for I wouldn't give a dont nail, let alone twopence, for a feller as can't turn his hand to anything in a push; it's the lonesome ness of the thing. I expect it's not liking to be alone made rae get married • and I. must say that-now there's an old bird at home, and five little ones in the nest, I ain't werry lonesoMe there. how they do open their precious : young beaks, and what a sight o' stuff it does take afore you Can persuade 'em to shut again But I ain't grumbling about that, mind, and I hope I never shall. However, as I said afore, I don't like being alone, for it puts me in mind of a wer ry lonely time; but I do like having a mate come in for an hour's chat, and join me over a pipe and a pint of half and-half in a quiet, sociable manner, same as you hereto-night, Dick Smith. That's a good tryingplttne of yours —the one you had in the shop to-day— but I never did see,' and don't suppose I ever shall see, such a tool as ono I lost about four yeare ago—least ways I didn't lose it, for I: sold it ; but it was a loss, for all that. Fine sound bit o' beech as ever you saw; while as to the iron, there was never a better bar o' stuff came out o' Sheffield. Just show it the ile-stand now and then, and knock it up to the right set, and then whish l whish I—the shavings would seem to run off a board as fine, and thin, and soft as—as well as shavings, you know. I sold that plane for two shillings, and the next iveek I'd have given five to get it back, but was gone again, I've newer set oyes on it since. You see, nothing looks worse than for a man to be parting with his tools; and when you see a fellow doing of it, ho's either one as isn't worth his salt, or else he's werry hard drove. Now I suppose I do make my salt, mostlings, or else I shouldn't have been two years in thisshop ;. but about the time I told you of, I was going to part with ono o' my tools, so you may suppose that L was hard drove. It don't matter where it was, but it worn't a hundred miles from Gray Inn Lane; and, after being out six weeks, I was took on, and got my order to be off With a lot more down into Surrey, where there was a cottage army, as they calls it, a building. slips off out o' the yard to bust with the good news, and I was at the bottom o' the lane and across Rolburn in no, Limo; and in less than that I was down our court where WO lodged, and upon two pair o' stairs, and into the room before my wife had time to hide what she was doing of. 'Hooray, mother I". I says, "took on !" and then Istops short; for though I would not let her think I knew she had been having a good cry, it all at once struck me that I should he set ting her off again ; for I'd engaged to go down into the country for a month certain, and I should have to leave her behind—so I stops short. "0, father!" she says, "I am thank ful ; for I don't know what could have gone next."

HUNTINGDON, PA„ WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22, 1866, if I wasn't such a coward myself that I damn% go, but stopped sneaking at home, and let the wife go instead, which worn't at all manly, says you; nu more it worn't. Howsoinevor, when she said that, I knew that something must go ; and I felt so light-hearted with the idea o' that work that I made up my mind to go myself, and wrapping my old fa vorite plane up in a red bannereber, 1 slips out into Fetter Lane and sold the plane for two shillings. I was hard to work to comfort tho wife when she knew that she was go ing to be left alone; for "0, Tom," sho says, "the poverty's hard enough to bear without having to be separated," But I promised her that Ptltako a lodging, and get her down with me as soon as I found the work likely to last; but next morning at breakfast I saw more than ono tear drip into her tea cup But it was a brightmorning, and I'd been doing all I could to•cheer her up; for I wasn't going to start till nine; so I gave young Tom a treat—washed his bead for him, and rubbed on the soap till hie little Doh was all white. "Now sloosh, faryer," he says; and I slooshed Lim , and never got the soap once in his eyes, nor yet, up his nose, which wasn't surprising, seeing what little chap be was then, and no nose at all to speak of. Well, at last I had my toobbasket ready, and. a' hammer through the handles to swing it over my shoulder. There were three clean aprons inside, and some odds and ends I should want; and then there was nothing else to do , but say good-by. But thero, I won't tell you about it, for she took on a great deal, as it was the first time I had been away from her. "You will write, Tom qv says she. '.Why, of course," I says "Aud put four sheets and some envelopes in," she says, "so that you needn't write on the back of the sand• paper with your pencil, for it's so bard to make out." - And then-, after five minutes' silence, I bolted out, and wouldn't look behind till I was out of the court. Why, of course, I was sorry to leave her behind; and 1 went along will) my heart feeling as heavy as a lump of lead, and everybody I met looking dim and weary, which I should think must have been indigestion, or some thing of that kind; but it 60 . 011 went off, and the clear sunshiny morning seemed to brighten ono up, till I felt BO hearty and cheery that I , was ashamed of myself, for 1 felt as though I ought - to bo. Miserable, like I know the wife was at home. But there we were, several of us, along with carts full of scaffold-poles and material, and before long' we were out in the open country. Out in the open country—• God bless it!-with the birdS twittering in the trees and hedges; the blue sky over. head, with now and then a light cloud slowly sailing across; the soft wind smelling that delicious, that we opened our mouths and drew in great long breaths, as though we never should be tired. There were flowers everywhere —lilac, laburnum, and may; orchards full of pinky apple blOssems; while as to the green of the fields in the golden sunshine, ah ! it was a sight to men Who had been cooped up in close Lon don courts, without knowing where the next day's bread was to come from Out in the open country, with fresh beauties at every turn I Why, we were like so many boys, running by the carts, larking, shouting, and ma king regular fools of ourselves, which must, of course, have been owing to the light, free air. I've heerd talk of prisoners, and sick mon, and their de light at being out once more; but they could not have felt happier than we did, out in the open country, on that bright May day. Every now and then, though, some thing dull would keep coining over me, and I wasn't sorry when it did; for what husiness bad 1 to be so happy and cheerful, knoWing how miserable I had loft some ono at home? But so it was; and the bit of blackness wore off, and I was as livoly as the best of them five minutes after; for, mind you, it isn't money as can give the real gladnns of heart. Well, we got down to the place, and the work went on merrily: The fore manwas a good fellow, and made me one or two little advances; and as there seemed to me to be work for a good three or four months, 1 began to look out for a little place where I could bring some one down to; and a com fortable lodging I soon found, made all my little arrangements, and sent a let ter up with a post office order inside, so that some one and the two little ones could come down comfortable the next day but one. Every one, I dare say, has his own fancies; and I don't mind telling you one of mine. I don't know any one think so satisfactory as driving a nail home. You make a small hole with your bradawl; in goes yOur Lail; and then tapping gently at first, you go on by degrees until the head gets nearer and nearer, and at last is driven right into the soft deal board. Not much in it ! says you. Perhaps not to your way of thinking; but eve, ry man to his trade, and, you may de pend upon it, in every troll() thorn's a similar feeling. I've seen blacksmiths lough as they pegged away at their iron; the old cobblers grin as they dreW the wax-end tight; the painters wag their heads as they laid on the flatting; and something of the same kind in Most trades; for a fellow would not be much of a workman if lie didn't love his craft. Well, I was busy driving nails in a piece o' boarding, thinking all the time about the missus coming down, when I rnakcs a false stroke, hit the nail on -PERSEVERE.- ono side, and it flew up and caught me I right in the eye. Talk about agony! No one knows I what I suffered, f'or in a short time the inflammation spread from one eye to the other, and I was quite blind, so that I had to be led home to my ledg ing. Perhaps you know what a bit o' dust, or a lash, or anything of that kind is in your eye; you know the pain and worrying itgives you; so yeti Can think what I suffered—a great, tall stout fellow---Us turning about; with the sweat dropping Off me. Doctor came and did all he eould.--,- Next day came, and the pain seemed easier. Next day after that came, and a letter saying my Avila Would not be there for another day, and some one had to read it for me, for everything was black us night; and at hist, worn out with pain and lonesomeness, and the horrid fear that I was to be a blind helpless man ; I turned over upon my face, and sobbed there till the pillow was quite wet. Yes, I know it was the act ofa child but I felt one then, as I thought of the bright light of God's sunshine gone from me forever ; that I should gaze no more upon the loving face of my own Wife, and that the merry, bright eyes of my little ones: would sparkle for mo no more. That I should henee• forth group about in the dark, seeking like that sorcerer in the Testarrient,for some one to lead mo by the hand. That I, the great man of bone 'and muscle, should be in a moment strieki. on down helpless, to be henceforth a burden to my poor wife; and We, poor people: It was the act of a - 'ehild, , I know ; for, with an exceeding' bitter cry, I lay there and sobbed miserably, while every tear smarted and burned like melted lead running over thy eyeballs. 0, yes, it was the act of a child, and know that I was now as helpless as the weakest. How I lay and thought of poor blind Samson, and pitied hith ! How I called to mind those with sight; less eyeballs whom I had after passed by uncaringly ; itnd how I thought and thought what could I do for my bread in the long, long night thatnow seemed my future. "In the dark ! in the dark !" I kept on groning to myself as I lay ; and then I thought of the past time,. and of how great blessing I had :thought lessly enjoyed ; and then the thought came to me of tither blessings which never seemed blessings before, for be ing mostlings short of money, I always thought myself hard used, and growl ed more that I ne4havei.done. And at last of all thinking and suffering, my head seemed to get hot, and I turned delirietS—half mad, you know and Went on terribly,. I suppose, till two days after,when I seemed to wake up in the dark, and lay still, thinking and wondering where I NV:l9,till I heard a noise as of some one moaning, and I calls out; "Who is there" I know who it was directly, for I just heard the one word, "Tom," sobbed, and then there was an arm under my head, and such tender, hopeful words whispering to me, as made my heart swell and beat; and I felt that come what might come sickness, come sorrow, blind, or able to see,--I had someone to lean on, and lead me by the hand. • We were werry quiet then, and I lay on my side trying to look through the black darkness at that dear old face that I could feel close by mo as some one kneeled down by the bed side; but no ,-I could not see it with my eyes, though, could with my heart. And then she'stopped sobbing, and talked of hoping for the best, and of bow the eyes of the blind had been opened, and that, perhaps my afflicting might, by His help, yet be removed. And so we talked and talked, and she said that wo would sorrow no more about it, and then how lunch she could get by needlework, and all on so hopefully, that I seemed to brighten up; but only for a tow moments, for I knew what a dead helpless burden I should be. And then she must have seen my face working, and poor lass! she broke down herself, when I said sho had better been left a \ridden At lest, in the quiet o' that little room, not a sound to be heard . but the twittering o' the birds outside the win dow, 1, said in bettor hope, some words with her, as she knelt by Me, but we got no" Waller than "Thy . will be done," * * * .* * : * Dick Smith, I never knowed how much love, and tenderness, and gentle ness there was in this world, until I groped about in the dark...l'd been bitter, a niany a disappointed work. ingman, and railed at My betters; bat now, in the midst of .my trouble, I learnt that I had walked all my life in the dark, stumbling about, and rot seeing the blessings that were spread around me. We never know want due ing that dark month which we spent in that pleasant country place, where my wife led me about amongst the sweet spring flowers, while everybody had a kind and loVing word for me. The governor allowed mo half wages, and somebody did needlework; and they . .used to pay her double and treble; and send mo all sorts of things, so that we were well off. Then the doctor came every day, and told Me I wasn't to fret about it, for he hoped I should get my sight yet. Ono day 1 sat trembling in my chair with the doctor operating not trem bling at the pain, but for fear ho might have been deceived ; somebody stood there, too, holding my hands, for she had got leave to be present. All at once there was a bright flash of light, and then I felt my head swim, and 1 fainted dead away, for 1 could not stand up agairwt the swelling joy that burst upon me. * * 0 i‘s keen 1 pair of oyes, :is ready a pair of hands, and as willing and hopeful o' heart as I hope aro to be fonnd in any . workshop in England, Dick Smith ; and I'm a humble and thankful man for it. But, the Lord bless you, I has my fits of ill temper when things goes three-cornered; and then Patty comes arid whispers—God save her—in my . bAI , , when the sun shined again, and I think of old - times before my accident, and say to "Eyes shut, Patty, ,I was in: the dark !" Sooial Wine Drinking. The Christian Secretary gives the folkswing graphic illustration of, the terrible results often arising from social indulgence in the Wine cup: "At Ms Episcopal convention, a dis dussion on temperance brought up the "wino questiou.". A part of the clergy. advocated its entire disuse and a part took the other side. At length an in fluential clergyman arose and Thado - a vehement argument in favor of Wine, denouncingtbe - radical reformers for attempting to banish this token ofhos. pitality from use. ~Whon ho had re sumed his seat, a. layman; trembling with emotion, rose; and, asked if was allowable for bins to speak. The Muir having signified that ho would he beard, he said : - "Mr., Moderator, - it , is not my pur pose, in rising, to answer the learn ed argument you have just listened to. My object is more humble, ana I hope More practical. I once knew a father in moderate circumstanoes ; who was at much inconvenience to educate a beloved son at college. , Here this son became dissipated; but after ho had graduated, and returned to his father, the infhience of home, acting upon a generous nature actually reformed him. The father was overjoyed at the prospect that his -,cherished hopes of other days were still to be, realized.— Several' years passed; when the young man, having completed his professional study, and being about- to leave his father to establish liimself in business, was invited to time with a neighboring clergyman, distinguished for, his hos pitality and social, qualities. At this dinner Wino was introdUced, and offer ed to this young man, who rofuSed.; pressed upon him. and again refused. This was repeated, and the young man ridiculed for his peculiar absti nence. The young man was strong enough to overcome appetite,: but ho could not resist ridicule. Ire drank, and fell, andfrom thatmoment became a Confirmed drunkard, and long since has found a drunitard'sgrave... "Mr: Moderator;" 'dontiimed the old man, with. streaming eyes, "I am that father; end it was at the table of the clergyman who has just taken his seat that his token of hospitality ruined the son I shall never cease to mourn:" WitAT is iv?—Au exehange' thus "goes off" into airy nothingnes.4. Wo have been aitich puzzled of late to un derstand ono of fashion's most frivol ous inventions: It consists of an orna ment for the female bead, and takes as many shapes as the chainelion doeS colors: It is not a bonnet—not a "sky scraper," (as sailors call the loftiest small sail)—nor is it a gig top. It is not even a dinner plate, nor'yet a su gar bowl, .t bee hive, a saucepan, or a rat-trap. Notwithstanding, it has form, and shape, covers the cranium, floats above silken curls, glitters in tho light, and is glorious with ribbons, rye straws, and chicken feathers, but still the question remains unanswered,"— "What is it 7" - It hangs in milliner's show windows, like the gossamer cur= tain of a spider's boudoir.. It is palp able to the vision, but if touched bodi ly would perish as fall the leaves of an exotic when exposed to the rude blast of a typhon. And yet this thing of indescribable shape, of airy texture, and of no name, occupies a' place on ladies' heads—a cozy place, perched amid the- most bewitching mazes of curls. Not a bonnet, nut a hood, not a sunshade, not .a parasol -L--who can put an end to our perplexity and tell us what_ is it?
