Is it Anybody's Business 2
Is it any body's business

Is it Anybody's Business 2
Is it any body's business
If o gentleman should choose
To wait upon lady
If the lady don't refused
Or, to speak little palmer,
That the meaning all may know,
Is it any body's business
If a lady has beau'
Is it any body's business
When that gentleman doth call
Or when he leaves the lady'
Or if he leaves Mt ala
Or is it necessary
That the curtains should be drawn
To save from further trouble
The outside lookers-oni
Is it any body's business
But the lady's if her beau
Rideth out with other ladies
And doesn't let her know1
Is it any body's business
But the gent'emam's if she
Should accept another escort
Where he doesn't chance to bel
If a persons on the sidewalk,
Whether great or whether small,
Is itany body's business
Where that person means to call 7
Or if you see person
While he's calling anywhere
Is it any of your business
What has business may be thcrel
The substance of our query
Simply stated would be this,
Is it any 6odys business
What another's business is2
Whether tits or whether 'tisn't
We should really like to know,
For we're certain if it isn't
There are some who make it so!
If it is We'll join the rabble,
And act the noble part
OF the tattlers and defamers
Who tbrong the public mart;
But if not, we'll act the teacher
Until each meddler learns
It were better in the future
To mild his opnconcerna

gave 40 votes for the bill, and we know of
no good reason for anticipating less NUM-
Der favorable to the measure, in the delega-

the probability is that most or all of those
Southern members who voted against the
bill, or abstaiued from voting, will, on the
question of repeal, Qhey Or successors) be
found in the negative.
Let lis see, then, how the account stands.

Eighteen more votes would make majori-

very Improbable that this number will be
found (among the one hundred and thirty
four members not included in the above
calculation,) who will oppose repeal, al
though some Of them voted against the
bill on its passage. In other words, tits by
no means certain that a bill to repeal the

it should, it will be defeated by large ma

Nothings in the next Congress would have things
their own way, so far the election Of officers OF the

different on the subject. Our solicitude, however,
has been aroused by the following paragraph which

correspondent OF the Lynchburg Virgnau, dated the

Fur the Cierkship there four or five candidates
already named. Dir. Butelcr Of Virginia, Mr.. Cuiom

dorstuod to be in the field. Forney, hear, has not
despaired Of re-. electiun-but his chance Is per-
tecty hopeless one In this state Of AFFAIRS 1t Is not
unlikely chat the administration party will unite upon
Mr. Banks the editor of the Petersburg Soutll-Slde
Democrat who is understood to have some warm
friends i'll the Virginia delegation as well as III the
