TELE REASON WHY.
Do you.wlsh to know this reason
Why your neighbor often ealls
On the dashing window Perkins,
And attends her to the balls ?
Why,his carriage is seen stopping
At some noted clothing store,
And the widow goes a shoppidg••
Whero sho never went before?
If yon wish it I will tell you
Let me whisper to'you sly—
If they don't esteem it proper,
It is not your business why.
Would you like to'know the secrets
Of your neighbor's house and life?
How ho lives or how ho doesn't,
- And . how hell ho treats his wife?,
How ho spends his time of leisure,
Whether sorrowful or gay,
And where ho goes for pleasure,
To the concert or the play?
If you wish it I will tell you—
Let me whisper to you sly
If your neighbor is but eivil.
'lt is not your business why.
In short, instead of prying ,
In other folk's affairs,
If, you do your own but justiee,
;You will have no time for'thelra
Bo ettentivo to spelt matters
As concern yourself alarm ;
And whoever fortutio era, -
Let your business bo you own.

Let ma whisper to you sly
If you wish to be respected

CHASED BY A PIRATE.
"Twenty years age I was master of
the ship Atticus, sailing out of Castlue.
She would be thought a small ship
nowadays, being out but three hundred
and ten tons burden, but she was large
for those days, and was the fastest ship
that ever sailed out of Penobscot Bay.
Well that she was so, my dear children,
or I should not be here to-day.
" was in the West India trade, and
having taken in about one-third of a
cargo at a windward island, that is, one
lying farthest to the east, was running
down to a leeward island, about six hun
dred miles, to fill up ray ship.
One third of a cargo just made a per
fect set of ballast for a heavy wind, so
that my ship could not have been in a
condition to sail faster. Anal this, too,
was providential," said the old 'man,
piously, "as you will soofi see, for had
she been either fully laden or in light
ballast we should have been overhauled
4nd lost.
I "At that time there were a great
many pirates in the West Indian seas.
They were merciless creatures, and
killed all whom they captured."
" What did they want to kill them
for?". 1 said, "It don't make them any
richer."
" 0, if they had spared one, ho might
see them afterwards, in Boston or New
York, when they came there to spend
their money, and so might bear witness
against them, and cause them to be
punished. In earlier years the pirates
were more merciful but when some had

persons whom they had spared, the
other said. "Dead :nen . to) tx‘res, -
and murdered whom they took.
"One mornflig, when we were abottt,
iude..way to our' t, a fair wind was
blowing very freshly indeed, and we
'were running under short sail. At sun
rise I came on deck, and took my glass,
as I always did in' the morning, to look
around and see if any sail were in sight.
And far away to the east, straight as
tern, I could barely discern a schooner
standing to the north. I had jilst
made her out, when her course was sutt
denly changed, and she began sailing
directly after us. In a few minutes I
saw more sail spread upon her. First a
reef was taken out of the topsail, then
hip-gallant sail WAS set, :tied .then
great square-sail was-let down from tho
fore-yard, 'Evidently she was chasing
us.
." I did not like to alarm the crow ; so
I said nothing about the vessel astern,
so I called the mate and said, Mr. Ma
son, it', bv,t to matte the most of a fair
wind; you may shake out the reef from
the topsails, and- set- the top-gallant
sails."
'All bands aloft - to make Bair!' be
shouted. Then coming up to me, look
ing a little pale, he said, 'What is it
Captain ?'—for he had noticed that I
bail kept the glass at my ye a good
while.
" tNothing of great" edi l sequenee
guesllt_, said 1.
,
''Bomething, I'm certain,' he said to
himself, but went away.
"I didn't keep the secret long, for
when the sailors had done making sail,
one of them spied trio schooner, 'and
cried 'Sail ho!' They all saw her, and
tnew in a moment what it meant.
Coming down to the deck, they stood
in. a group, looking pretty anxious, but
keeping quiet, and gazing -as me as if I
carried all their lives in my bands. Be
fore long we could see the schoonet
plainly, from the deck with the naked
.eye. How swiftly she came on ! And
we, too, were rushing forward at a great
speed.
" Soon the mate came aft again.
'Capt. Dunbar, we are ready to set more
sail, if you say so.'
" ' Not now,' I said, 'we'll see. The
wind freshens fast; and I'm not sure we
could carry more sail virith safety."
"In an hour mere the pirate was
only three or four miles astern. We
could see her decks crowded with men.
But preSently up went the black flag
" ' My God! there it is!' cried all the
crew as with one yoke.
‘ • I
- ‘ Yes,' there it was
;and now •If we
could outsail the pirate, we lived, if not,
we . died. .
" The wind had been freshening fast
all the while,
and wasnow a sharp gale.
I hail never in my life, perhaps, had so
nitieb canvas on in so heavy a blow, but
we mast; spread more.
" ' Set the.courses.'
"You should have seen the men fly
to obey. They had the courses on in
about: the time it
,commonly takes a
seaman to shift his quid of tobacco from
one cheek to the other!
" I now waited to see if we were going
fast enough ; but soon perceived, only
too plainly, that the pirate still gained
upon us, though slowlly at last. I look
ed up to the masts.cy were bending
like coach whips—thaT(lit they did not go
overboard seemed aimiracle—and yet
'wo must carry more il.
in
" ' Get on the stud ing sails,' I said ;
'we must trust in Go to make the sh'ip
bear it through.'
" At any other time had I ordered the
seamen zkloft when- the masts were
threatening coal moment to go by the
board, they would have refused,' noiv
they sprang up the shrouds like eats.
Studding-sail after studdi ng-sairwasset ;
then we got out the boat's sails, and
spread them wherever they would catch
a capful pf wind. And still not a spar
not a yarn parted. It seemed to me
that they we'll held only by the mighty
power or (sod,
"There were a few. moments of_ deep
suspense. I stoOd turning,my eye now
aloft at the bending, groaning maUS,
then astern at Our tierce pursuer. 'Cour
age boys I cried ; 'she no longer

" What a:hurrah! But next moment I
they were were still as death again, for
it did not seem posElble that the snap
ping of one spar or rope would have
doomed us.
. " And so for an hour, that seemed a
year. , . .
The ship flew bpt the moments lag
ged—how theriag)secl I Still the wind
increased. I could see that the pirate
was ploughing terribly into the sea,
and that if the wind went on increasing
mho must spoil take in sail. ' Presently
there was a puff of smoke at her bow,
and a cannou-ball plunged into the sea,
a quarter of a Mile astern. . The men
quailed a little, butt said " Good, boys,
they begin to see that they cannot Catell
us." Soon another ball which went
farther, but was wilit She kept thing
for half an hour. Some of the balls
would'have struck, had they been well

A Matrimonial Advertisement
ITS 81 7 / 2 PRISINQ RESULTS.
A lady, who had no idea of looking
for a husband, but with large proclivi
ties for mischief and fun, put a matri
monial advertisement in the New Yof k
Herald, with directions for answers to
be sent to a certain signature at the
Broadway Yost-office. As the adver
tisement appealed to the practical ap
preciation, by assuming a neat little
fortune, in addition to an agreeable
person, the seed of ; such temptaticn
could not well fall idly upon such fert
ile bottom as is offered by the city of
New York,. On the first clay that suc
ceeded the, advertisement the lady re
ceived goventopo replies ; on the second
day thirty-two ; and on the third sev
enty-two, an extent of ardor and ap
preciation for her vaguely described
personal attractions which even she
was not prepared to expect.
Bewildered by the warm volume of
'adoration and entreaty, which issued
from this hymenial magazine, the lady
called to her aid five ladies as mischiev
ous as herself. One pair of hands and
one mind' were of course quite unequal
td the task of answering all, so the bil
let doux were divided equally among
them, and each was to make an ap
pointment with the writers on the fol
lowing Saturday afternoon, at four o'-
clock, on the lower shit: of re up stairs
saloon of a certain popular restaurant
in Broadway. Each of the ladies,
moreover, who took the task in charge,
chose a different colored paper for re
pl es.
Finally, it was agreed that the whole
six should be present at the Interview,
and that each should wear the exact
costume prescribed for the inamorata
whom the sighing swains wouirt Lo
there to see. On the other hand the
ffentlemen were .direAted to appear ill
all of tIALIre Uflcit vutatio3J
which female ingenuity and misehic-f
could devise. One was requested to
wear a blue coat with brass buttons;
another to have his hair parted in the
middle; one was to be eating a plate of
pork and beaus, which, said the
ingen
wus Wiiier who directed it, "you call
scarcely expect will be called for hs
anybody else." Others were to bO pni -
taking of various dishes ; or .o pimp
themselves in such postures as Vero di
rected by the writers.
At four o'clock on the prescribed Sat
urday afternoon, every chair 41, every
table on the lower side of the up stairs
saloon, was filled with sleek-:looking,
aud - highly-perfumed Lettn4l3,. all
gazing into each other's faces, acid each
secretly cursing the luck which Wedged
him so closely out of the killing posi
tion and displays which he had been
meditating ever since he gut
And how the dishes smoked, and the
wondering waiters flew ! E veu the pet
plexed landlord, amazed at this mirac
ulous flow of business, was obliged to
drop his own mutton chop, and call out
the entire force of the establishment to
meet the clamorous if nut threatenibg
demands of gentlemen who feared, they
might not get their telegraphing plate.
of duck; or mess of pork and beans in
time. ;
.
At length the clash of sheen and
click of 'still' skirts was heard comin ,,
'
up stairs one minute lifter the hour, mi l d
au inamorata appeared, dressed in dark.
green, with deep fur cape, and abund
ant drooping lace. She was watered on,
the head 'with an infinitesmal bonnet
and carried in her hand the magic rift
of cambric, whose Shakesperean straw
berries intimated that she was she.—
When tihe appeared the sensation was
universal; the gentleman with bull
vest threw open his coat to the extreme;
the gentleman iu the • bhie' anti the
bright buttonS, buttoned his coat en
tirely to the chin.
The gentlemen who.was to lean back
ward, commenced tilting - like a Chinese
mandarin ; the gentleman with the
pork and beans became vociferous for
more beans; while those who had duck,
etc., were equally clamorous in com
plaining lof the undue fulfillment of
their orders. Never was there Such a
clamor heard in that unusually well
rt.gulated up stairs saloon before, and,
by the by, never subsided more sud
denly than when a new brush 'of skirts
,was heard coming up the stairs. Alt
lotharios were once more in posi
tion, when lo ! another Cordelia, in all
respects the reflex of the first, appeared,
bearing the linn of strawberries as a
challenge in her hand, sweeping with
it like u Juno to a seat Dear the loea
tioa of the first.
It is needless to say that the seusa
tiou
was DOW extreme. some of the
gentlemen who were to part their hair
in the middle however to look furi-
ously at gentlemen who had hair parted
in the same way, as much as to say ;
" Well, there is one for each of us, any
how !" But most of the party seemed
nude troubled than before. A pause ui
sour; minutes succeeded before any new
"appearance? ) took place,, during which
time the Lotharius were engaged in
displaying their points to the best ad
vantage ; and some, more ardent than
the rest, pulled out the various colored
notes they had received, and either pre
tended to read them or laid tli:an con
spicuously ou the table.
Presently, apparitions three and four
appeared, and hard upon their heels
Caine live and six. There was now
perfect consternation on the lower side
of mu LIP btailS :ialoon of iho fashion-
able restautant. The man Of tilt fell
backward and was shot under the
table; there NN ILS a general feeling alter
hats, and gathering up Of loose build
kerchiefs and canes. All at once, af
ter one of those short, sudden panics,
which convey electric knowledge to
the human mind, at general staznpede
took place, and theßvltole party, with
more or less dignityi—, according •to the
natures mid shapes they had assumed—
thlide ler the etthrelinct descended out

A Miserly Recluse,
The following particulars of the death
of the singular Jersey Citk miser, the
fact of which has been already an
nounced,. will be read with interest.—
, We lied the account in the liekv , York
Times of a late date :
On Wednesday, evening last, Lyman
Allyn, an aged'. boarder at Taylor's
Hotel, in Jersey City, was found dead
sitting In his chair in his room. His
death was duly reported on the follow.
lug morning, but there were circum
stances developed yesterday whieh sur
round his life and death with peculiar
interest. His brother, Thomas Allen,
of Coml., - in company with a sister,
the only relatives of the deceased, ar
rived yesterday, and, with the pertuis
sion of Coroner Burns, who is to , hoid
ail inquest, took charge of i.he corpse.
They examined also the two dilapida
ted trunks that stood in the. corner of
their brother's bedroom, akSd In one of
them were found stocks l 'and •boude,
(leech; and nocuritiaa of Arar/ouo dcaorl p.
tions representing a fortune of $60,000.
His life during the last five years has
been most remarkable. He was a man
of over seventy, and so infirm that lie
consumed half. an hour or more in corn.
Ipgdown from his room to the dining
room. Yet he 'pied upon the highest
idcor to save Money; and was never.
known when upon the streets to uS"e
horse car, Saying' that they had the, el
feel to make people lazy, and he would
not patronize them. He came from ills
room to his meals but once a day, eat
ing the smallest quantity of the cheap
est food. He sought no society, and
would permit no person to enter his
room but the chambermaid, and she
but once a week. While she arranged
his room he invariably watched her
closely. To an observer the room con
tained very little that was worth watch
ing. Two old trunks, a scanty ward
robe, made up of - cheap ready-made
coats; two hats, one white, the other
black, and both thirty years,old ; patch
ed shoes and bouts, a copy of Webster s
dictionary, a Bible, and a medical book,
were all that the room contained, and
its situation and Interior desolateneLs
made it r, dreary abode. The old man
had lived here alone for nearly
years, for he said, they came onAy
cause they thought, he had money that
thV were mistaken, for he was 'very
poor, and had great difficulty in paying
his board bills.
His brother and sister, who took
charge of his effects; yesterday gave
our reporter a brief sketch of his life.—
Ho was born in Groton, Conu., in 1797,
and was sent at an early age by his
father to work in a grocery store in dew
London. Finding that his employer
was dishonest, and that he used. false
weights and ineasutes, the boy rail
away and returned to . his home. He
soon procured a situation in another
store, remaining, there leif a number of
years, until* in 1826, he tinte to New
York and engaged in b 1.113 illess as a com
mission merchant. Bei:billing tere;,-

Jacob Little, Mr. Allyn amassed alarge

many speculations were indulged in by

which kept the recluse so much "eon

neon the bill collector took Mr. Allyn's
bill to his room, knocked, icceived no
anbV:er, and could gain no adin itance.—
Ile threw the bill into the room over
the door Lunt went away. The- day
wore away, and it was remarked that
the old gentleman was out Itio prompt
as iormerly in responding to the pre
sentation of his bill. Mr. Fisk, the
proprietor, went to his room, and re•
ceiving no answer to his calls, the door
was forced open, and the aged occupant
was found lueless in his chair.
The examination of the trunk and,
contents yesterday diSelorsect the fact
that the old man owned -stock in many
of the best paying concerns ill the
country. Ho owned stork Ai all the
principal railroads in New Jersey, the
Erie' Railway ' Atlantic and rent
Western, the 11lorris Canal/and Bank
ing Company, and the New York Cen
tral. Deeds for a large amount of: real
estate in Long Island and in the ciiY of
Brooklyn, and a pile of State and coun
ty bonds, were found. With theca
there was a will, dated fifteen years ago,
bequeathing all his property to his
brother and sister. .
The body will be removed to Groton,
Conn., to be interred there.
How IT FEELS -DROWN.—As some
of our readers may be curious upon this
subject, we give the experience of Geo.
Forbeas, a sailor, who fell - overboard,
while making a trip across the lake,
and was rescued in a helpless condition.
After describing how he rid himself of
supbaluous clothing, and swam aftff
the boat from which he had fallen ;
how.he cried 11or help and could hear
ansWering cries ; how he thought of
his wife and children and of dillinent
things that had occurred to him, he
says:
1 ' After a time the wind \vent down,
the s2a. got a little smoother, add I felt
sure 1 would soon hear from the scow.
I was feeling more courage, and was
strikinc , out with a will, when a' sod
den cramp caught me, and I could not i
sio another stroke. I felt like a lump
of lead. My head began to spin around,
a'greht lump ro. o up in t»y throat and
choked me, and my eyes closed up as if
a weight had been hung on the lids.--
I began to drown, 1 felt it; then came
a feeling something like a red hot iron
being drawn through my brain, and
my head felt like fire. A humming,
roaring noise, went through my ears,
and I felt as light as a feather. The
waves carried me about without an ef
fort on my part, and I laughed—it
seemed so - curious that I actually laugh
sed. I didn't care to be picked up—
didn't care for Lizzie—only wanted to
float and iirift forever on the rollers.—

head up. I wouldn't have !nova my
finger to have been aboard the seocv.—

A CONTRADICTORY CotrPLE.—Mar
tied life is happy or unhappy just as
people make _it ; and if there be one[
thing more than another that turns
Elysium into Tophet it is mutual con
tradiction. The wife likes to live in.
town and the husband in the country;
she likes the thermometer at seventy
and he at fogy two; she likes music,
which he h ates, and hates dancing,
which he loves, and so a very cat and
dog life they Lead. Here is a sketch of
a nice couple, inimitably told:
" I do believe," said he taking the
spoon out of his glass and tossing it on
the table, " that of all the obstinate,
positive, wrong headed creatures that
over was born, you are the most so,
Charlotte."
Certainly, certainly; have your own
way, pray. You see how much con
tradict you," rejoined the lady—
"Of .course, you didn't contra et me

" Yes, I did," says the lady.
" Oh, you did ! „' you admit that V',
cries tho gentleman.
"If you call that contradiction, I do,"
answered the lady ; "and I say again,
Edward, that when I know you are
wrong I will contradict you. lam not
your slave."
" IS'ot my slave!" bitterly answers
the husband. " And you still mean to
say that in the fllackburns, new house
there aro not more than fourteen doors;
including the door of the wine cellar ?"
"I mean to say," retorts the ladY,
beating time with a hair brush upon
the palm of her hand, "that In that
house there are fourteen doors, and no
more.
" \Veil, then cries the gentleman,
rising in despair, and pacidg the room
in rapid strides, " this iS enough, tor

THE FATHER OF FREIDERICIT. THI33

clean, washing five times a day. He
would allow no drapery, no stuffed fur
niture, no carpets in his apartments.•;--
They aught dust. He sat upon a plain
wooden chair. He ate roughly, like
a farmer, of roast beef, despising all the
delicacies: His almost invariable dress
was a close military blue coat,.with red
cuffs and collar, buff waistcoat and
breeches, and. white linen gaiters to the
knee. A sword was belted around his•
loins, and as we havesaid, a stout ratan
or bamboo cane ever in his "hand. A
well-borne, battered triangular hat cov
ered his head. Ho walked rapidly
through the streets which surrounded.
his palaces at llotsdam and Berlin. If
he met any one who attracted his at
tention, male or female, he would all

You?" A street lounger he has been
known to hit over the head with his
cane, exclaiming, "Home you rascal,
and go to work." If any one prevail

was still hesitancy, or the king was die
satisfied with the answer, the one in

The boorish king hated the refine

met a lady in rich aftire, she was pretty
sure to bo rudely assailed ; and a
young man fashionably dressed could
hardly escape the cudgel if he came
within reach of the king's arm. The
king stalking through the streets, was

would have been. • Every one instantly
recognized him, and many fled at his
approach. One day he met a pale,
