EIgIACS.
by ELIZABETH AKERs ALLEN.

You zee tho tree that sweeps my window-pane
All the long winter-tlme it means and
grieves
In the bleak nights, l hear its boughs complain
Praying for gracious sunshine and warm rain,
And its withheld inheritance Of leaves.
But what avails it though tho poor tree wears
Its heart out with its grief, what does it
gain?
Do you suppose the tardy summer cares
For all its wild rebukes and passionate prayers,
Or the pale sun shines warmer for its pain
Verify not; No pleader shall prevail
Who prays against the law of time or fate
No matter how we murmur and bcwail
The robins will not build in winter hail.
Nor lilacs bloom in February. Wait
Patience, my friend. And when these stormy
glooms
Have chastened lib for June, come here
again,
And you shall see my tree made glad with
blooms
Its branches all a-toss with purple plumes,
Sweeping across the self-same window pane
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1877-04-11

Let Your NeighbOr Alone.

No people are such thorough nuis-
ances as those who are perpetually
meddling with the business Of their
neighbors-- who are always on the
alert FIR anything suspicious-always
ready to believe the worst Of every
body. Readerl If you belong to
that unfortunate class, we pity you.-
As it is impossible that you can find
out anything that is going on in your
vicinity, you must be in state of con-
tinual torture, A prying mind needs
food, and without it suffers. Then
try TO conquer the unhappy PECULIAR
ty. What is il to you il your neigh
Dor does bring home a brown paper
package and a~coveled basket ? You
will live just as long if you never
know what they contain. 1t is none
of your business. And if your fighty
neighbor, Mrs. Ligh(foot, indulges
herself in new bonnet while her de-
voted husband wears patched boots,
YOU need not fret about it-he is the
only sufferer, not you. No need OF
making a hue and cry over her sup
posed extravaganza. The money did
not come out your pocket, and con-
s2quently it Is none of your business.
What if the minister does not call on
Ann Smith twice week i? Why ex-
erc!se your brain about it ? Suppose
she has an awful tcmper-and pow
ders her face, rs You say she does -
her temper viii not trouble you.--
Mind your own concerns. What
difference does it make to you if bold
Maria "culs out" modest Mary >
You need not torture Mary by long
stories Of what you have Heard COLI
corning the matter. II Il ought |
would tell you, my dear. speak for
your good. Somebody should Iut
y9u on your guard against that
treacherous girl AS natural con,
sequence modest Mary, her womanly
pride aroused, shrinks into the back,
ground, leaving the field open TO her
victorious rival. So you crush good
girls heart because you will not mind
your own business. What if they do
have three pairs Of stockings over at
Squire llill's ? Haven'C they got a
right to- As long as you don't do
the washing it need not trouble you
at all. What right have you to watch
their clothes-Iine Employ your time
better. 1t may be perfectly true that
dayhing Mrs. Gay signals to young
Dr.. Wilde from her back windows.--
But who gave you the privilege of
watching lady in her own home,
where, if any place, her privacy should
be sacred ? Her disgrace IS nothing
to YOU; it is.none of your business. -
If we had our way, mcddlers should
be punished like any other offenders
against the rights Of others.
