TROUBLE YOUR HEAD WITH YOUR
OWN AFFAIRS.

OWN AFFAIRS.
You all know the burden that hangs my song,
Like the bell ofSt. Marys, tits common ding dong
| don't 60 to college for classical tolls,
For Apollo has now set up primary schools;
Oh, mine is theme you may chaunt when you may
Fit for every age and for every day;
And rich folks say, Poor folks, don't give yoursel
airs,
Bid them"trouble their heads with their own affairs
Oh, how hard it appears to leave others alone,
And those with most sin often cast the first stone;
What missiles we scatter whesever we pass,
Though our own walls are formed of most delcat
glass;
Let the wise one in ''Nature's walk" pause ere h
At scamperng folly in harlequin suit
He'd find motley no doubt in what he himself wears
Ifhe'd etroube his head with his own affairs"
Our acquaintance standup with reproTing advice,
Where the friend of our soul would be sparingl,
nice;
But people can see their own candle shine,
Though were it right under chittI;ng mine;
Faults and errors choke up like storm, Tween
But we each have door of our own to keep clean
And 'twould save us great many squabbles ant
Ifwe'd 'strouble our heads with our own affairs"
Mr.. G spends the greatest part Of the day
In talking of D, who lives over the way
The former knows about this and ne knows abou
that,
And can tell when the latter has got new hat.
Mr.. Pollysyllable the doctor, with sapient fTown,
Once quit old Charles to 60 to the crown;
His society and "gratis-practice" mighty and big,
He raves like Hortcultmist and swears like
Wing.
Though he's rich enough to attend "pocr people
gratis
His medicine is no better than good salGratus;
All plum of rich color is lost to his heirs
By not 'ttroubling his head with suitable aairs.''
Let a symptom of wooing and wedding be found,
And full soon the impertinent whisper goes round
The beauty, the fortune, the means and the ends,
Are all carefully weighed by our good-natured
friends;
IT'S chance if the lady be perfectly right,
She must be flirt if she is not fright;
Oh, how pleasant twould be if these neddlesome
bears
Would trouble their heads with their own affairs
We abuse without limit the hereto one,
While he bends to the image or kneels to the sun;
The scriDtural 'S01ire nteYeres with other mems
creeds,
From the Irishman bull to The Machaboe's beads
Eut Heaven-like Rome may have many road,
That leads us direct to the-wished-for abode;
And wise exhortoton, in Christian prayers
Would be-'Trouble your heads with your own
affairs.n

THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM
BY E. GARDINER.
Cork HALL, February 2, 1916.


1t is in vain for people to rely on hea-
venly aid, in the dreary hour. of diversity
on the sanguinary battle field, when the dark
and dismal clouds of internal factions have
commuled to scenes of horror and blood
shed, religious polity, or when by infatua-
ton and impiety nation have strayed from
morality and prudence, disregarded the fail
behests of religious laws, forgotten the paths
of virtue, and surrendered themselves to
venalily and RIGHTEOUSNESS. Such was the
state of the inhabitants of the city of Jerusa-
lem when invaded by Titus; obstinate, in
fatuated, licentious and degenerated, they in
vain invoked protection from Heaven, which
their enormities had offended. Having ar
rived to the summit of impiety, crime, and
Pagan righteousness, they yet continued TO
deceive themselves with the erroneous ex-
pectation, even after the batterng engines
of the indefatigable legions of Titus had sue
ceeded in demolishing the third wall, that
soon the God of their ancestors would again
protect them, and grant them an easy vic
tory; but in vain. Torn by factions-the
most destructive element Of any country
they seem only eager to desecrate the shrines
Of their ancestors, to rob and destroy each
other, yet boasting as zealots for the religion
Of their ancestors. They beheld the bleed
ing and mangled corpses of their own citi-
zens and decrept fathers, and yet more
heart-rending and disgusting was to be seen
the bodies of hel pless women and innocent
babes reeking in blood, (and this should on,
ly be recorded but 10 enlist moral anc
Christian man to its reprobation,) the fruits
of their rancorous and self-destroying fac.
lions. And while succumbing and Welding

ant enemies. Weakened and dampened by
such domestic animosites, and discouraged
from consciousness of their apostacy, anc

sanguinary invaders. Confused and EN-.
