A e Fast" Age.

The following is too good to be lost. 1t
illustrates one of the peculiarities of this
"fast" age:
An old lady in Cincinnati had large
quantity of bacon to ship to New Orleans,
where she was going herself to buy supplies
She stipulated with the captain of steamer
that he should have her freight, provided he
would not race during the trip The captain
consented, and the old lady came aboard.
After the second day out, another steamer
was seen close astern with which the cap
tam had been racing all the time,) and would
every now and then come up to the old lady's
boat, and then fall back again. The highest
excitement prevailed among the passengers,
as the two boats continued for nearly day
almost side by side. At last the old lady,
partaking Of the excitement, called the
captain and said ''captain you amt going
to let that thar old boat pass us, are you z"
Why, shall have to, madam, as agreed
not to race" "WeIl, you can just try it a
little, that won't hurt" "But, madam TO
tell you the truth, did" "Gracious! but
do try it little more-see the old boat is
almost even with ns," and a loud cheer arose
from the passengers on the "old boat" II
can't raise auy more steam madam, as all
the tar and pine knots are burnt up" sGood
gracious, what shall we do; see. the old boat
is passing US. Is there nothing else on
board that will make steam?" "Nothing
eh: las if new idea had struck
him) except you bacon" 'Throw in the
bacon" shrieked the old lady. ",hrow in
the bacon, captain, and beat the old boat!"

Is it Anybody's Business?

r 4 MEMBER OF THE MIND ND-YOUR-owN-BUsINE soCIE
Is It anybody's business -
If a gentleman should choose
70 wait upsn lady,
II the lady don't refuse?
Or--to speak little palmer,
That the meaning all may know
Is it anybody's business
II the lady has beau?
II a persons on the sidewalk,
Whether great or whether small,
Ii it anybody's business
Where that person means to call?
Or, If you see 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 anothers business is?
II it is, or if 1t isn't,
We would really like to know,
For we're certain If 1t isn't,
There are some who make it SO.
II 1t is, wen join the rabble,
And act the noble part
Of the tattlers and defamers
Who throng the public mart;
But if net, wen act the teacher,
Until each meddier learns
II were better in the future
To mind his own concerns.

SINGULAR MANIA.--A Paris paper gives an
account of very wealthy and popular man Of
the Gironde, lately deceased, who, in his latter
years, was afflicted with strange fancy for
knives, daggers and swords of all sorts. He
never saw one that he did not seek to obtain it
by foul means or fair. In the course of six
months he had pilfered from his neighbors all
their table knives, and every sort of dagger he
could lay his hands upon. But they knowing
his phantasy, winked at it. After his death, in
his office, the key of which he alone had kept,
there were found two thousand knives, swords,
daggers, &C., all neatly arranged, with labels
attached, on which was indicated the place and
name of the owner, and the day on which it was
stolen.

Of having the men always near their work. This
