that the s'fiee" story is about true.

A little circumstance came under nv obser.
walton, about which I would like to say
something. It SO happens that certain
gentleman has been paying attention to lady
In the Valley, whose name I will not mention.
Now, Mr.. Editor. this seems to have been all
wrong, according to some few persona belief.
SO Grandmother Meddlesome appointed q
committee of three-composed OF herself, as
chairman, and two more poke-noses-to call
upon the lady and investigate the matter.
During the examination, the chairman re-
marked that lone woman had no business
to keep house aud should not be allowed to
do 50, but ought to place her children in the
care OF some asylum, and hire out to slue
pots for these same meddesome parties.
Now, If everybody would attend to their
own business, and keep their own doors
clean, they will have as much as they can
attend to; but you know, there is a class of
old women who can't find anything else to do
but to poke their ugly mugs into other peo-
pies affairs. PROSECUTED.
