It's None sf my Business.
BIZ MRS. HARRIET B. STOWE.

This was one of the golden sayings of
Jedediah Pettisol One might think so
al least. by the frequency and emphasis
with which it fell from his lips. Jede.
diah was reckoned one of the richest
men in the village of Needwal, He
lived IN that great white house you see
yonder, with the tufts of lilacs before
each of the front windows, the great su-
gar naples in the grassy yard, the light,
neat picket-fence; the large barn so per-
fectly built, so trinity kept, and surround
ed by the we'll tended acres Of the richest
farm of the neighborhood. Jedediah
was reputed a snug, safe man-an excel
lent manager of money-Of which be
had laid by an untold store, how much it
was difficult TO say, but there was
"slow, dry smile" which curled his hard
features when the inquiry was made,
that stimulated the Imagination of the
quesiioner more than the mention of any
definite sum. Jedediah was an excellent
householder in all things that pertain to
his own. His wife lacked for nothing-
rustled TO church in the sliffest of silks
and the heaviest of satans, wore an In
dia shawl and got her bOnnets quarterly
from New York, to the great edifcation
of Miss Pewit, the country milliner, and
of all her rural neigbors- All Jedediah's
sons and daughters walked In brightness
and lived on the fat of the land they
went to the best schools, wore the best
clothes, ate the best things, and we're re-
ported TO do everything in the best way,
He rubbed his hands as he looked around
on his rising race. He fattered himself
there were no such children going. He
took care Of them they were his, and
Jedediah always took care of his own
things. Whatsoever was his; though but
the breadth and thickness of hair, was
his. and was attended TO with micrOscop-
ic nicely.
But to all that was not his, TO every
body not his own. to every ones cares,
wants, outside the circle of his own, Jed
ediah had one short. golden saying ''It's
known Of my business.
Jedediah was a proper, church going
man--nay, church member, and, being
a church member, his tOwnsmen thought
the least they could do for a man Of such
substance and admirable arrangement
was to make him deacon. They hoped
thereby, in a measure, to bring the affairs
of the church into the charmed circle
which he called his own. They were

They never saw any company
Tho highly respectable family,
Till each grew more sadder and sadder,
And each was afrighted at the others shadow.
They pulled down the blinds to keep-Out the

Till every thing was dark as night;
And as they were determination suieiding,
III tell you the manner they respectively died in.
One day as their father in the garden did walk,
BE cut his throat with piece Of chalk;
The mother an end to her life did put,

The youngest daughter on bsnded knsss,
She poisoned herself with tOg sted eheesr
The youngest, son determined fellow,
Blew out his brains with an old umbrella
Tho gard 'ner came in and saw the blood,
BE run himself through with piece of rhubub !;
His wife saw the sight and titurned her savage
She burnt herself with red picked cabbage
The old tom cat as he sat by ths FIRE,
Bit piece of the fender and then did expire;
The flies of the ceiling, their case was the, worsn
For they blew themselves up with spOntane-
