POETRY.
Is it Anybody's Business ?
- Is it any body's business
If a gentleman should choose
To wait upon a lady
If the lad;/ don't refuse t
Or, to speak a little plainer,
That the meaning all may know,
Is it any body's business
If a. lady has a beau ?
Is it. any body's business
When that gentleman doth call ?
Or when ho leaves the ladyf
Or if ho leaves at all ?
Or is it necessary
That the curtains should bo drawn
To save from further trouble
The outside lookere-on f
Is it nny body's business
But the lady'* if her benu
Ridctli out with other Indies
And doesn't let her know ?
Is it anjr body's business *
But the gentleman's if she
Should accept another escort
Where he doesn't chance to be t
If a person's on the sidewalk,
Whether grent or whether small,
Is it any body's business
Where that person means tb call J
Or if you see a peroon
While he's calling awy-whei e
is it any ot your business
r What his business may be there?
The Bubstauee of our query
Simply stated would be thit?,
Is it any body's business
"What another's business is?
Whether 'tis or whether 'tisn't
We should really like to know,
For we're certain if it is'nt
There arc some .who moke it so !
If it is we'll join the rabble,
And act the noble part
Of the tattlers and defnmers
Who throng the public mart;
But if noi, we'll act the teacher
Until each meddler learns
It were better in the future
To mi&d his oiffrfcoQceraa.
v miscellany!
The Next Congress.
The Journal of Commerce has prepared
complete tables of the next Senate and
House of Representative, so far as the elections
in the States have been completed,
with the object of showing how hopeless
would be the attempt to obtain the repeal of
the Nebraska bill. The Senate when full
comprises 02 members, of whom 58 have
been elected. Of these 58 thero are 30
Democrats, 19 Whigs, and 3 Abolitionists.
Of the complexion of the Senate the Journal
says:
Of the 58 Senators elected, 20 voted for
the Nebraska bill. To which add Bayard
of Delaware, Yulee of Florida, Iverson of
Georgia, Bright of Indiana, Crittenden of
Kentucky, Adams of Mississippi, Geyer of
Missouri, Briggs and lleid of North Carolina,
Pugli of Ohio, and Evans of South
Carolina, (11,) all of whom are known to
be favorable to the Nebraska measure, and
wo have a total of 37 already elected, who
are in favor of it. Tlien add Clayton of
DolflXVO rnr 1 *
nuu, uioujjii ne voted against
the bill, has since declared himself opposed
to its repeal, and we have 38 Nebraskaites
already elected. Of the four vacancies,
one in Alabama and one in Missouri will,
almost to a certainty, be filled with Nebraska
men, making a total of 40, without including
any chance which there may be for
Nebraska men in the remaining two vacancies,
one in Indiana, and one in Pennsylvania.
In round numbers, it may be said
that two-thirds of the new Senate will be
in favor'of, the Nebraska measure, and a
still larger number, against its repeal. Araong
the latter, we presume, may be included
?ell of Tennessee, and Houston of
Texas.
, ' : So (a* as the elections are completed, the
House ^of Representatives is composed of
10 Administration Democrats and 104.Opposition.
Sixty members are yet to be
elected from districts represented in the
last Congress by 20 Whigs and 40 Democrate.
The position of those elected on the
Nebraslfc question is thus stated by the
Journal;
rr Of-.th* 67 members .^rho voted for the
Nebraska Bill from the States which have
already chosen their delegations to the new
' *:. Congress,- twenty-eight (if we include Mike
Walsh) are fe-elected. Of the 93 in the
same States who voted against it, 35 are redoctedi.^
.Of the members elect to the-new
Congi^ ^<#!,*Fore rwt members of th? nM
Congress, or Were absent when the vote was
taken, a considerable number are understood
to be Nebraska, men, among -whom J
are Rfafc, of ^rkansAgff Hall, of" Iowa ;i
Kenneit, Porter and tfptiiere, <$ Missouri;
Deoerer and California;
Cadwslader, of M'Queen,
' * " ' ' *}
l>e in favor of tho measure from the above
mentioned States. The States yet to elect :
gave 40 votes for the bill, and we know of
uo good reason for anticipating a less number
favorable to the measure, in the delegations
about to be elected. On the contrary,
'the probability is that most or all of those
i Southern members who voted against the
bill, or abstained from voting, will, on the
question of repeal, (they c*r successors) be
found in the negative.
Let us see, then, how the account stands.
In the States that have thus far chosen,
there have been rc-elected, who voted for
the bill .... 28
Tho nine States which have not yet voted,
being all slavcholding States,
gave for the bill - - - - 46
Absentees from said nine States when
the vote was taken - V
New Members thus tar electcd, who are
understood to be in favor of the bill,
or at least opposed to its repeal - 19
Total - - - 100
Eighteen more voles would make a majority
of the llouse. It is not impossible nor
very improbable that this number will be
found (among the one hundred and thirtyfour
members not included in the above
calculation,) who will oppose repeal, although
some of them voted against the
bill on its passage. In other words, it is by
no means certain that a bill to repeal the
Nebraska Law can pass the House. But if
it should, it will be defeated by a large majority
in the Senate. And before a new
Congress is elected, Nebraska will probably
be knocking for admission into the Uniou
as a State.
iV \ AIXARLE i able. 1 following
table will be found exceedingly valuable to
many of our readers :
A box 24 inches bv 10 inches square
and 28 inchcs deep, will contain a barrel
(5 bushels.)
A box 16 inches by 15 1-8 inches square
and 8 inches deep, will contain ono bushel.
A box 12 inches by 111-2 iuchcs square
and 8 inches deep, will contain half a
bushel.
A box 8 inches by 8 inches square, and
4 1-2 inches deep, will contain one gallon.
A box 4 inches by 4 inches square and
4 1-2 inches deep, will contain one quart.

The Hauvest.?It was an interest in or
sight to us, last week, as we were going and
returning from Spartanburg Court, to see
the farmers along the road, in full force,
harvesting their wheat crop. The grain is
line, and free of all smut and rust, and consequently,
we may expect the very best
flour. It will come in most opportunely for
the country. Everywhere we receive favorable
accounts of the wheat crop. Indeed,
all the crops ajje promising at this time.
The seasons have? been good during the latter
part of the spring.? Greenville Patriot.
There is a maiden lady in Connecticut
who is so extremely nice in her notions of
female modesty, that she turned oft' her
washerwoman because she put her clothes
in the same tub with those of a young
man. "Woe to the man that marries that
girl!" ;
