PEOPLE WILL TALK.

You may get through the world, but twill be
very Glow,
If YOU listen to all that is said as you go;
You'll be worried and fretted, and kept in
stew,
For meddlesome tongues VIII have something
TO do,
For people will talk.
If quiet and modest, you'll have it presumed
That your humble position is only assumed,
You're a wolf in sleeps clothing, or else
you're fool;
But don't get excited, keep perfectly cool,
For people will talk.
If generous and noble, they'll vent out their
spleen;
You'll hear some loud hints that you're selfish
and mean;
If upright, honest, aud fair as the day,
They'll call you rogue in q sly sneaking way,
For people will talk.
And then if you show the least boldness of
heart,
Or slight inclination to take your own part,
They will call you an upstart, conceited and
vain;
But keep straight ahead, don't stop to explain,
For people will talk
If fthreadbare your dress, or old-fashoned your
hat,
Some one will surely take notice Of that,
And hint rather strongly you can't pay your
own way;
But don't get excited, whatever they say,
For people will talk.
Ifyou dress in the fashion, don't think to
escape,
For they criticise then in a different shape
You're ahead Of your means, or your tailor's
unpaid;
But mind your own business there's naught 10
be made,
For people will talk.
Now the best way to do is to do as you please
For your mind, you have one, will then be
at ease,
OF course you'll meet with all sorts of abuse;
But don't think to stop them-'twin be of nc
use
For people will talk.

History Of Noah.
, BY ARTEMus WARD.

81 AhIEMUS WARD
Noah's front name was Noah Noah's
last name was Flood.
Noah's wife's name was Mrs Noah. She
was called by her nephews and nieces
Aunty Flood, which being interpreted,
means before the Flood.
Noah had three sons-Ham, Shem, and
Japhet.
Their playmates used to call them
Hem, Sham, and Jackass.
Ham, as the name indicates was pork
butcher.
Shem, am a Shem'd to say, kept faro
bank.
Japhet was-let me see, what was Japh-
ct? oh, yes Japhet was in search of his
father.
Noah, in conjunction with Barnum, used
to keep menagerie on the European plan.
"No reserved seats"
One day it rained-it rained the next
day, too-in fact, it rained for month.
Things were getting damp around No
abs house, so Noah told his boys-who
were dutiful children; and, besides the
fact of their being dutiful children, their
father always carried a cane, to get out
the canal boat which laid in the barn, and
forthwith they mounted the house, on the
boat, and after getting the animals all
housed Or boated they set sail.
The collection consisted of every kind
of animals. Ancient history says:
'sThe animals went in two by two,
The monkey and the kangaroo"
With many a sigh they left their former
home; but of what use, as Mrs. Noah re-
Marked was ace high when there were so
many pairs around, which straight way
raised flush on Noahs face as he glanced
at the poker. Even the nephews and nieces
"went for" their aunty with .fup hands.
The boat was fitted up gorgeously, each
family having separate apartments.
They never quarreled, yet being opposite
neighbors they all had adeerse-areas.
Ancient history tells us that there was
every known kind of animal in the boat
when they started out on their expedition !;
but in another chapter it distinctly con-
tradicts itself, for it says that not until the
storm had abated did they hit on Ary-a-rat.
When the boat became toreck on the
mountain, Noah became aoreck on the
shore, and, reckoned he would sell out all
his right, title, interest, etc., 20 Barnum,
who brought the animals to New York.
ShyIock was one of the animals which
Barnum saved from the wreck. Some peo-
pie called it the timid hare.
The lion and the lamb laid down to-
gether.
1t was, in reality, happy family
Everything was arranged so that all the
animals should return from the voyage just
as they had entered the boat.
For should the hateful wolf destroy the tender
lamb,
The eve would not be worth one continen tai.

Comic Advertisements.

The following have been from time to

"The advertiser having made an adj
vantageous purchase, offers for sale, Oh

"To be sold cheap, a mail phaeton, the

To these Irish advertisements may be
added one English one, which was the sub
