POETR Y. ’TIS BETTER NOT TO KNOW. BT SAMUEL LOVER. You say you love me—can I trust That she, by many woo’d, By me at length, has had her heart To 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’ll be 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 young men’s debating society somewhere in Indiana, the question for discussion was “Which is the greatest evil, a scol- ding wife or a smokey chimney.” After the appointed disputants had conclud- ed the debate, a spectator rose and beg- ged the privilege of £ making a few re- marks on the occasion.” Permission being granted, he delivered himself in cluis way : “Mr. President, I’ve been al- most mad a listening to the debate of these ’ere youngsters. They don’t know nothing at all about the subject. What do they know about the evils of a scolding wife. Wait till they have had one for twenty years, and been Rammed, and jammed and slammed all the while, and wait till they’ve been scolded because the baby cried, because the fire wonld’nt burn, because the oven was too hot, because the cow kicked over the milk, because it rained, because the sun shined, because the Lens didn’t lay, because the butler •would’nt come, because the old cat had kittens, because they came too soon for dinner, because they were one minute too late, because they sung, because they lore their trowsers, because they invited a neighbor woman to call again, because they got sick, or because they did anything else, no matter whether they eould’ut help it or not, before they talk about the evils of a scolding wife; •why, Mr. President, I’d rather hear the ¦clatter of hammers and stones and twen- ty tin pans and nine brass kettles, than the din, din, din, of the tongue of a scolding wife. Yes, sir-ee, 1 would. To my mind., Mr. President, a smokey chimney 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 commencing with, “I love to steal awhile away,” which the chorister commenced sing- ing; but owing to some difficulty in remembering the tune, could not pro- ceed farther than, “/ love to steal” which be did three or four times, when the clergyman in order to relieve him from his dilema, waggishly remarked, that it was very much to be regretted, and ad- ded, “let us pray” A quaker advertises to cure, among other incurable disease, Marcobozzaris, Abdelkader, Hippotamus, Potato Rot, Hydrostatics, Inflammation of the Ab- dominable Regions, Agae Fits, Shaking Quaker Visits, and all kinds of Anni- versary. It is rumored that the last and great- est curiosity of the age has just been received at Wood’s Museum. It is the gun with which the question is popped. Probably a large supply will soon be made for the use of bashful young men. A Good-natured Husband. When Haddix’s wife kicked him out of the bed he said, “See here, now! you’d belter not do that again ! If you do, it will cause a— coolness. Homgepathic Beer.— Tis one hop to a rat’s tail, let the rat swim through a mill pond, then bottle the contents of the pond—“to be shaken before taken.” Debt are tbe initial letters of “Dun livery Body Twice.” Credit are the ¦ initial letters of “Call Regular Every Day—l’ll Trust.” The western papers state that the Mississippi has raised one foot. When it raises the “other fool” it will proba- bly “run.” Ok Course.— The Burlington Free Press thinks that the best way to get up a “family broil” is to buy a good ham. “Ma’an, your shawl’s dragging in (he mud.” “Well, suppose it is, isn’t it fashionable?” The tongue is like a race horse, it runs the faster the less weight it carries.
