Would that this oft reiterated maxim were graven with a pen of iron on the tablet of every man s memory. It should be written in letters of brass and hung up at every public place, so that "be that runs may read." It is sound and wholesome advice. It is the esesence of wisdom, to take heed to it. If a father, in sending his son out into the world, to battle lor himself, or to earn a name iLperennvus aww," he could condense hoars of advice into that little caution expressed by tho caption of this article. Being attendod to and obsorved, it has made Men?being neglected, it has brought misery and vexation to the one so neglecting, and to the one whose business is "minded" it brings, I say, justifiable disgust and anger. Persons of the best disposition cannot keep down their rising spleen - when another who has no interest what ever in his nlfairs, suggests this and advisee that, thinks that it would redound greatly to his advantage if he would enter into this speculation, lenows that he will come to nothing if lie continues in his present course, and is profoundly convinced that if his ad vice is not taken he will rue it. Out upon all such ! say I. "Mind your own business"?for it is very likely that it needs it. Take the beam out of yojr own eve, And trouble not the mote in thy brother's. Who constituted you a superior and censor morum over vour neighbor's concerns? If lie needs aid, give it?if lie asks your advice, offer it?if lie does not, let hiin alone. Verily, it seems, friend Meddlers, that you have : such a hankering attor the interests of other men, that I begin to believe that, 1 to express it as courteously as possible and without hurting your feelings, if you have any at all, you are slightly "touched iu the upper story." lou ought to advise your friends, (if you have any, and I doubt it,) if they had a proper regard for vour interests and welfare, they would send you to the Iusaqo Asylum. Dr. Fisher says he has room for fortv more, and I doubt lt-t the Dr. would willingly ac commodate yon. There, your friendly inquiries (?) and kind hearted suggestions (?) would meet with no objec- 1 tions: and, if you could tame a mouse or spider, yon might offer any number of BHfPiTGotionfl a8 to the best irinrinAr nf , ~ ~ -- V building a nest. or constructing a wob. Tliey might, it is possible, von know, call you in as assistant architect, find and thoro yon would lie "in your glory"?and it is extremoly probably ! that: they would let you pull down And build up to your heart's content. And another g cat advantage yon might possess by being fin inmate of suon ft place is, tl.,.i no one there, your mouse and spider not excepted, would call i you impertinent, or puiiUii you for | your insolence. You might brow boat, harass and vex your innocent little 1 mouse to the verge of distraction, and i never lie punished for it. You might instruct your spider that if his web ; was stretched a little further to tho ' North, or made a little stronger to the < South, or thinned ont a little at the East, or taken in a slight degree at the West, or if be was a littlo more active, OK if the flies were a littlo more abun- i dant, be would vastly augment his ' chances for making a decent living: i and X will venture to say?I hazard 1 the assertion, that everything your < spinning friend would do, would be to < run np in his hole, staro at yon, and in i a clear voico tell you to "Mind your 1 own business." But you wouldn't < mind that, it would not throw yon out ? of humoi/; for yon have had that can- t t^on dinged into your ears ever since " your brain began first to be affected.

To the readers generally of this paper: I would ask them to rejpl the fbllowihg extract, And say if it isn't "good"?yea! very good : "Is it anybody's business, .

Whether 'tis, or whether 'tisuT, We would really like to know? For we are oertain, if it isn't, There are some who mahe it so. "If it is, we'll join the rabble And act the nobler part Of the tattlers and defamers, Who throng the public mart; But if not, we'll act the teacher, Until each Meddler learns, It were better in the future, To mind his own concerns." But" Chacun a ton gout." The Gray Hare is the Better! Horse. We know that the line is in Prior's 1 Epilogue to Lucius; but the story from which the phrase is derived is something like this: A gentleman, who had seen the world, one day gave his eldest son a span of horses, a chariot, and a basket of eggs. "Do yon," said lie, to the boy, "travel upon tho high road until you come to tne first house in which there is a married couple.? If JQU find that the husband is the master there, give hiinone of the hor-l ses. It, on the contrary, the wife is j ruler, give her an egg. llctiro nt once if you part with a norse, but do j not come back so long as you keep both horses, and there is an egg remaining." Away went the boy full of his mission, and just bcyona the borders of his father's estate, lo! a modest cottage. lie aliglitea from his chariot, and knocked at the door. The good wite opened it for liini and curtsied.? "Is your husband at home ?" "No," but she would call him from the liayj field. In ho came, wiping his brows ; The voting man told thein his errand. | * * * ? "v?njy saia tue wile, bridling nnd j roll! the corner of her Apron, "I u!-1 wftvs uo as John wants me to do; lie is j iny master?aren't yon, John V To! which John replied : "Yes," "Then," said tho boy, "I am to give you a horse; which will you take if" "I think," eaid John,uas how that bay gelding seeuie to be the one as would suit me the best." "If we have a choice, husband," said the wife, "I I think the gray mare will suit ns beat."! "No," replied John, "the bay for mo j i he is more sqnnrc in front! and his legs are better. "Now," said the wife, "l don't think so; the gray mare is the better horse; nnd I shall never be contented nnless I get that one."? "Well," said John, "if vonr mind is i sot on it, 111 give up ; we'll tako the gray mare/' "Tlmnk you," said the. boy, "allow me to give you an egg fi oui I this bucket - it '? ? -?1 7 ...w will U1IC, H11U I yon can boil it hard or soft, as yonr 1 wife will allow." The rest of the story you may imagine; the young man came homo witn both horeee; but not an egg remained in the basket. \Cozz&ru?H WintpreM. Influences of thf.
