with such rapid transitions"

1T is NOT T0UR BUSINESS.

Would you like to know the secrets
OF your neighbor's 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 sorrowful or gay,
And where he goes Tor pleasure
To the concert or the play?
If you wish it | will tell you
Let me whisper to you sly
If your neighaor is but civil,
1t is not yoCr business WHY.
In short. instead of prying
into other folks affairs,
If you do your own but justice,
You will have no time for theirs.
Be attentive 10 such matters
As concern yourself alone,
And whatever fortune hatters
Let your business be your own.
One word by way OF fnis-
Let me whisper 10 you sly
If you wish to be respected,
You should cease to be PRY.

tzgT True happisess is of very retired
nature, and an enemy to pomp and noise; it
arises in the first place from an enjoyment of
ones self, and in the mex. from the friend
ship and conversation of few select COM
panions; it loves shade and solitude, and
naturally haunts groves and fountains. fields
and meadows; in short, it feels everything it
wants within itself, and receives no addition
from multitudes Of witnesses and spectators.
On the contrary, false happiness loves to be
in crowd, and to draw the eyes of the world
upon her. She does not receive any satisfac.
tion from the applause which she gives her.
SELF but from the admiration which raises in
o hers. She fourishes in courts and palaces.
theatres and assemblies. and feels the real
ties of existence but when she is looked upon.

" that she should have for her reward that
which they carried on their LEFT arms,n mean,

The Sabines having been led in by Tarpeia,
according to compact, Titus their king,
though well pleased with carrying the place,
yet detestlng the manner in which it was
done, commanded the Sab;nes to give the fair
traitress her promised reward by throwing to
her all they wore on their left arm: and
Herewith unclasping his bracelet from his

upon her. All the Sabines following the ex.

SLAVERY REVIVED BY THE R,nrc.ts

SLAVERY REVIVED BY THE RADIcALs.-It
appears by the final report of the Fullerton
Steedman commission. that the Freedmen ;
Bureau not only swindles the Government.
but also Expresses the negroes, for whose sole
benefit it was professedly instituted. The
system of contracts enforced by it is simply
slavery 10 a modified form. The agents of
the Bureau hire out the negroes to planters
and others, prescribing the terms Of service
and stipuating the amount of compensation.
rhis opens the door to abuses of every kind.
rhe freedman is just as much slave to some
efficial OF the Bureau, who coins money out
of his forced labor. as he ever was to his old
master. Such is the result of endeavoring to
regulate by legislation matters that ought to
be left to the undisturbed operation Of natural
laws.

ssA-A able pamphlet of forty eight pages,

Mistakes on the subject Of the equality of the

has settled the status of the negro as the ser.

patton IN this country mas been IA mistake.
lhe white man naturally Graves dominion,
the negro naturally Graves protection, and is
never either happy or safe until he obtains it,
and he cannot attain it without absolute sla,

slavery at the North has done harm bv de.
mor"llzing the people-introducing Il rush
Tor wealth, under which the white race is de-
teriorating. Besides, the freedom of the
country Is undermined by its dependence on
foreign emigration. whereas black slavery is
favorable to white liberty and development.
