The Reason Why.

Do vou wish ~ know ihcrCaSo why,
Whv Your nrighhur often calls
On the dashiu. Widow wilkins.
and attends her to the balls?
WHY his carriage is seen stopping
At some noted clothing store,
And tho widow goes n shopping
Where she never went before?
And il you wish it, ! will tell you-
Let me whisper to YOU sly
Ii they esteem it proper,
IT il not your business why.
DO YOU wish to know why Peter
Has torsakcn friends and 10 nc,
And left his native country,
In a distant lanl to roam?
Why Polly seems so lonely
Since the day that pctcrlcft,
And of all friends they only,
Should appear to be bcreit'
If YOU wish it. will tell you--
Let me whisper to y"u Sly
Ii they have reason for il,
1t is not your business why.
Would you like to know the secrets
or your neighbours house and life?
How he lives, or how he doesn't,
And Just how he treats his wife?
How he spends his time OF leisure,
Whether Sorrowtul or gay.
And where he goes for pleasure,
TO the concert or the play?
If you wish it, will tell you--
Let nc whisper to YOU sly
II your ncighbor il but civil,
1t is not your business why.
In short, instead of prying
Into other folks affairs,
If you do your own but justice.
Nou will have no time for theirs.
Bc attentive to such matters
.ls concern yourself alone,
And whatever fortune ilattcrs,
Let your business be your own.
One word hy way of iinis-
Let me whisper to you sly
If YOU wish to be respected
You must cease to pry.

4 FAITnPUL WIFE.-Thc Marcscha
de Mouchy, having been conducted to a
prison in the Luxumburg, had scarcely ar
rived there when his wife entered the pri-
son. The jailer observed to her that the
order for the Maroschals arrest made no
mention of bcr She answered with min
glcd gayety and sweetness, "Sincc my hus-
band isa prisoner, | am one also"
When he was carried before the Revo-
lutionary Tribunal, lie was still attended
by his wife. The Public Accuscr, having
informed Madam dc Mouchy, that she was
not called upon to appear, she replied
" When my husband is called for, [ am
also called"
In word, when the fatal sentence of
death was pronounced upon the Marcschal
his faithful wife asccndcd the cart with
him; and when tho cxccutioner objected
because she was not condemned to die, she
answered, "Since sentence is passed upon
my husband, it is passed upon me also.

on sudden, he felt some one at his pock-

REFLECTION BY a LovER-Tt is a
great pleasure to be alone, especially when
you have your sweet heart with you.
WHY should marriages be spoken of as
tender tic, when it is 40 confoundcd
tough that nothing but death can cut it?
NOTHING prevents person from being
natural and easy, so much as an extreme
anxiety to appear so.
WHAT would our day be without its

and which they will not examine because

turn Of his servant Jane, who was
taken from him by force while he
was making a visit to Niagara

The marks upon her body shows.
that she has received severe whip

her seizure were extensively noticed
