’TIS BETTER NOT TO KNOW.BT SAMUEL LOVER.

You say you love me—can I trustThat she, by many woo’d,

By me at length, has had her heartTo constancy subdued?

Perchance some oilier love is there,But do not tell me so;

Since knowledge would but bring me grief,’Tis better not to know.

Perchance that eye has beamed with Jove,In days I knew not thee,

That ruby lip bath bent in smiles\ For others 11 1 an for me;

But let that lip still, silence keep,ni trust its Jove-hke show ;

Since knowledge would but bring me grief,’Tis letter not to know.

Oh ? what a simple fondness mine,Whose wishes make its creed;

But let me think you love me still,And I’llbe blest indeed!

’Tis better that the eye ne’er sec,'Phan that its tears should flow;

When knowledge would but bring us grief,’Tis better not to know.

HUMOROUS SCRAPS.

Powerful Reasoning.— At a youngmen’s debating society somewhere inIndiana, the question for discussionwas “Which is the greatest evil, a scol-ding wife or a smokey chimney.” Afterthe appointed disputants had conclud-ed the debate, a spectator rose and beg-ged the privilege of £ making a few re-

marks on the occasion.” Permissionbeing granted, he delivered himself incluis way : “Mr. President, I’ve been al-most mad a listening to the debate ofthese ’ere youngsters. They don’tknow nothing at all about the subject.What do they know about the evils ofa scolding wife. Wait till they havehad one for twenty years, and beenRammed, and jammed and slammed allthe while, and wait till they’ve been

scolded because the baby cried, becausethe fire wonld’nt burn, because theoven was too hot, because the cowkicked over the milk, because it rained,because the sun shined, because theLens didn’t lay, because the butler•would’nt come, because the old cat hadkittens, because they came too soon fordinner, because they were one minutetoo late, because they sung, becausethey lore their trowsers, because theyinvited a neighbor woman to call again,because they got sick, or because theydid anything else, no matter whetherthey eould’ut help it or not, before theytalk about the evils of a scolding wife;•why, Mr. President, I’d rather hear the¦clatter ofhammers and stones and twen-

ty tin pans and nine brass kettles, thanthe din, din, din, of the tongue of ascolding wife. Yes, sir-ee, 1 would. Tomy mind., Mr. President, a smokeychimney is no more to be compared to

a scolding wife, than a little negro is to.a dark night.”

At a meeting of the church, the pas-tor gave out the hymn commencingwith, “I love to steal awhile away,”which the chorister commenced sing-ing; but owing to some difficulty inremembering the tune, could not pro-ceed farther than, “/love to steal” whichbe did three or four times, when theclergyman in order to relieve him fromhis dilema, waggishly remarked, that itwas very much to be regretted, and ad-ded, “let us pray”

A quaker advertises to cure, amongother incurable disease, Marcobozzaris,Abdelkader, Hippotamus, Potato Rot,Hydrostatics, Inflammation of the Ab-dominable Regions, Agae Fits, ShakingQuaker Visits, and all kinds of Anni-versary.

It is rumored that the last and great-est curiosity of the age has just beenreceived at Wood’s Museum. It is thegun with which the question is popped.Probably a large supply will soon bemade for the use of bashful young men.

A Good-natured Husband. WhenHaddix’s wife kicked him out of the bedhe said, “See here, now! you’d belternot do that again ! If you do, it willcause a—coolness.

The western papers state that theMississippi has raised one foot. Whenit raises the “other fool” it will proba-bly “run.”
