WIT AND HUMOR. ?
The Bachelor'* SoliloquyBless
my soul ! I'm thirty niac to day;
six t'?-?'t in my stockings, black eyos, oiuly
hair, tall and straight as a cedar of lit ha q
Don, and still a bachelor 1 Well, it's uii w
Independent life, at least?no it isn't, citherl
llojre's these uew glnvos of tuiue tall "
of little rips, string off one of my most p<
faultless dickeys, nice silk haudcrcliicl in \\
my drawer wants heiuuiing, top button oft js
the waist baud of my pants; what's to be
done ? How provoking it is to see the e al
married people looking so self sati?ti- d and ^
consequential, at tin- head of their taiuil- qi
ies, as it they had done ilie State a great 0.
service. Why, us to children, they arc |.
as plenty ns flies in August, und about as
troublesome; every alley and court, and P1
garret is swarming with theiu; they re no hi
rarity. IInIi miv ttruir iibur?..lu .t? 1 I I.....

pardon) wretch, can g tit wife, enough of ,
the ui, too, sucli an they arc. It's enough .
to scare a man to death to think how much
it costs to keep one. Young folks, have *
to begin now where their lathers and IV
mothers leit off. bilks and sitiu*. ribbons ^
Mid velvet, feathers and flowers, cuff pins uj
and bracelets, gimoracks and folde rols ;
and tbore's no help tot it in ray case?for
if I married a woman I loved, and the
dear little thing should ask me for my ni
scalp, L should give it to her, I know I st
should. Then t hoe's the tapestry, empets
and mirrors, and sofas, and ottomans, pi
and damask curtains, and pictures, and h
croeke-rv, (and you must look at the sub- ?l
jeet in all its bearing) little jackets and tl
frocks, and wooden horses, and dolls, and Vi
pop guns, and gingor bread ; don't believe hi
1 can do it, by Jupiter ! llut then, here 1 "
sit with the toe of my best boot kicking "
the grate, for the want ol something better 'r
to do; it's coming uvrtul cold, dreary 1
weather, long evenings, can't go to con? "
certs forever, and when I go, my room s'
looks so much the gloomier when I come
hack, and it wouid he cosy to have a nice a'
little wife to chut and laugh with. I've w

see a pair of bright eyes; oveu the aha Jowe
on the wall take fairy shapes I'm on lithe
brink of ruin?I feel it. I shall reatl s<
my doom in the marriago list before long 'I

there's no living with a better half, so they '

long without one. /'

an Arkansas lawyer, "that the gentlenn a

The number of my competitors in busi s

ait tug of my gin. My rules being below t
1 precedents, I hope will not engender the u
