TVIT AND IIUMOR.
The Bachelor'* SoliloquyBle*s
my soul ! I'm thirty nine to day;
six feet in my stockings, black eyos, cuily
hair, tall and straight as a cedar of Ltba
oon, and still a bachelor 1 Well, it's uii
independent life, at least?no it isn't, cither
! (lore's those new gloves of uiiue full
of little rips, string off one of my most
faultless dickeys, nice silk haudcrclucl in
my drawer wants hem tiling, top button oft
the waistband of mv pants; what's to be
done ? How provoking it is to .sec the e
married people looking so self flatted--d und
consequential, at the head of their families,
hs if they had done ihc State a great
service. Why, us to children, they are
aa plenty ns flies in August, und about us
troublesome; every alley and court, and
garret is swarming wi ll theiu; tl>ey re no
rarity, and any poor luiseruule do?(1 beg
pardon) wretch, cuu g t a wile, enough of
tlicui, too, such as they are. It's enough
to scare a man to death to think how much
it ousts to keep one. Young folks, have
to begin now where their fathers and
mothers left off. Silks and satins, ribbons
and velvet, feathers mid flowers, euff pins
and bracelets, gimeracks and foide rots ;
and thore's no help tot it in my case?for
if I married u woman I loved, ami the
dear little thing should ask ute for my
scalp. L should give it ro her, 1 know 1
should. Then there's the tapestry, catpcts
and mirrors, and sofas, and ottomans,
and damask curtains, and pictures, and
crocke-rv, (and you must look at the subject
in all its bearing) little jackets and
frocks, and wooden horses, and dolls, and
pop guns, and gingQrbread ; don't believe
I can do it, by Jupiter ! Hut then, here 1
sit with the toe of my beet boot kicking
the grate, for the want of something better
to do; it's coming awlul cold, dreary
weather, long evenings, can't go to concerts
forever, and when I go, my room
looks so much the gloomier when I come
hack, and it wouid he cosy to have a nice
little wife to chat and laugh with. I've
tried to think of something else, but I
can't; if I look in the tire, 1 am sure to
see a pair of bright eyes ; even the shadows
on the wall take fairv shanes I'm on
the brink of ruin?I feel it. I shall road
my doom in the marriago list before long
?I know I shall. lieaven help tuc for
there's no living with a be'ter half, so they
ay; and tnay I be refused if I can get
along without one.
A Promtt Witness. ? " Have you
