HUNTINGDON, P.E.
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

and, after being out six weeks, 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,

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.

ful ; for I don't know what could have

IN THE DARK.
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

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

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

fainted dead away, for 1 could not

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

More practical. I once knew a father
in moderate circumstanoes ; who was

became dissipated; but after ho had

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? It costs from ten to
fifty dollars ?
