IS 1T ANYBoDY's BUSINESS 2

The following is submitted. for the con.
OF all whom il may concern, by n
Of ite Mind your own business v
Society, with the hope that it may be pro.
ductive of good results
Is it any body's business
Ifa gentleman should choose
To wait upon lady,
If that lady don't refuse?
Or-to speak little palmer,
That the meaning all may know
Is it anybody's business,
If lady has n beau?
II a person on the Sidewalk,
Whether great or whether small,
Is it anybody's business,
Where that person means to call
Or If you see a person
As he's calling anywhere,
Is it any of your business
What his business may be there.
The substance Of our query,
Simply stated would be this:
Is it anybody's business,
What another's business is
Fit is or if it isn't
We would really like 10 know,
For we're certain if it isn't
There are some who make il so.
If it lis well join the rabblc,
And net the noble part,
OF the tattlcrs and defamcrs
Who throng the public mart;
But ifnot we'll act the teacher
Until each medlcr learns
1t were better in the future
To mind his own concerns.
