PEOPLE WILL TALK

We may get through the world but twill be very slow,
five listen to all that said as wogo;
Wen be worried and frcttad aud kept in a stew,
For mcdllcsomo tongues must have something to do.
People will talk you know, oh, yes thoy must talk otc
lfluict aud modest, you' have II presumed
That your humble position is only assumed
You're wolf in Sleeps clothing else you're fool
But dost get excited, keep perfectly cool.
II generous ANA noble, they'll vent out their Spleen
ioul hear some loud hints that you're selfish and moar
lfuprght aud honest and fair as tho day,
They'll call you rogue in sly, sncakng way.
And then, If you show the least boldness OF heart,
oros slight inclination to take your own part
They will call yen anupytart conccitel and vain
But keep straight ahead don't stop to explain.
lfthrcadbare your coat or old.Gshionod your hat
Some one, of csursc will ako notice of that,
And hint rather strong that you can't pay your way,
But don't get excited, whatever they say.
If you dress in tho fashion, don't think to escape
For they criticisc then, in different shape
You're head ofyour means or your tailor's unpaid.
Blu! mind your own business there's naught to he made
III fellow but chances to wink at girl,
How the gossips will talk, and their scandal unlurl
They'll canvass your wants, aud talk of your means,
And declare you're engaged to chit in her teens.
They'll talk fine before YOU but then, Nt your back,
Vi venom and sanlcr there's never lack;
How kind an polite Is all that they say,
Butbittcr as gall, when you're out of the way
Tho best way to do, is to do as you please,
For your minl If you have one will then be at case;
Otcoursc youll meet with all sorts of abuse
But don't think to stop thcm it antany use.

With owl.like face so grave,
That in II land of Democrats,
A MAN may be a SLAVE!

For the ir own false tradition.
Could jefferson "hs Fcrcments burst"
And from his tomb arise
Among lot of Coppcrhcads,
Would he net rub .is eyes
Like Rip Van Wrinkle, he would stare
At things So strange aud new
He'd sly, excuse me- gentlemen,
I've entered the wrong pew "

But fleece alone will hardly cheat

Merely for eating srass.

ferent insect from the apple lnaggot =

throughout the New England States.
both of these insects are very numerous,
and seriously damage the apple crop
every year, by rendering nearly one half
of the fruit unfit for anything except
cider. or to feed to swine, and leaving
but very few specimens that are not more
or less injured by one or both OF them
The apple maggot threatens to be more
Of nuisance, even. than the apple worm
It perforates the apple through and

inside NAV be a mere honey-comb. and
entirely unfit for use Not so with the
operations of the apple worm, which
enters the blossom end and feeds around
the core of the apple, passing ont per

OF the season, fit for use The Iarya OF
