POETRY.
OLD BACHELORS
By a Lady.
Old Bachelor* are hateful things,
Which ought to be despised ;
With heart*like broken fiddle strinegs,
And just as little priz'd.
-Jntun'd to love's soft thrilling touch,
No pleasures do they know t
They feel not, and they taste not much
Of happiness below.
The joys of wedlock, which they spurn,
With all its numerous cares,
K'en for a year, should love's lamp burn,
Is worth an age of theirs.
Was't but for them, the human race
Would soon be swept away,
And even earth?to their disgrace.
Would tumble to decay :
The social bond, that bond so sweet,
Where heart and soul unite,
Where friendship, love and union meet,
Would sink in endless night.
But 'tis in vain for me to prate,
I cannot make them clever;
Old Bachelors I always hate,
^And must, and thrUl for ever.
AMUSEMENT.
Home lime before the breaking up
of the British Head-Quarters at Cam
bray, an Irish soldier, a private in
the ?3d regiment of foot, was con
victed of shooting at and robbing a
French peasant, and was in conse
quence senta&cqd to be hanged. Ou
arriving at tto place tff execution, he
addressed the spectators in a S ten to
rian voice, as follows?"Bad luck to
the Duke of Wellington! He1# no
Irishman's friend, any way. I have
killed many a score of Frenchmen
by his orders, and when I just took
it iu my head to kill one upon my
own<xccount, by the powers he has
tucked me up for it!"
Anecdote.?W. and C. two auc
tioned, were remarkably dispropor
tioucd in stature.?C. was a mere
dwarf, and W. very?tall. At a
public sale, G. mounted a hogshead,
partly filled with Scoth snuff in blad
ders, which stood on one end. As
he was relating one-and-ten, one
aud ten, going, going, going, gen
tlemen, the head ^ave way,-and C.
descended out of sight. Gone, says
W.; and the sneezing of C. left no
doubt of the fact; for though out of
sight lie was not out of heuring, the
effect on the crowd, was indescriba
ble.?Jm, Mag.

Mrs. W walking on one of
the wharves in New-York, jocosely
asked a sailor why a ship is always
called $ke; 44 Oh faith," says the
son of Neptune, " because the rig*
ging cost more than the hull."
Doctor South.?When he resided
at Caversham in Oxfordshire, was*,
one very cold winter's morning, call
ed out of his bed to marry a couple
who were waiting at church. lie
hurried on his habiliments, aud went
shivering to the church; but seeing
only an old man of seventy, aud a
woman alxmt the same age, asked
his clerk in a pet, where the bride
and bridegroom were, and what those
old folks wanted ? The old man re
plied, that they had i oine there to
l>e married. He looked sternly at
the~% and exclaimed,?" Married /"
" /vs, married," said the old mail,
hastily,"better marry than Ho worse
" (>et you gone, you silly old fools,"
s* id the doctor,?"get home and do
your worst" And then hobbled out
of the church, abusing his clerk, for
disturbing him on so silly an occa
sion.
iMr. Clay and Joseph Lancaster.
Air.Laucastet's 1-cctuics at W ash
ington liave received that approba- \
tion, to which, as* a public beuefac- j
? or, he may justly claim. At the ]
conclusion of one of liis lectures, in
liie House of Representatives, Mr.
Clay complimented him iu hand
some terms, observing that the Chair * ,
le occupied had never beeu as weU ?
illed before. Mr. Lancaster, rood- j
estly disclaiming the merit imputed
to him by the Speaker, said, in ef
ect, that man in his purest aspect
was but a very humble instrument of
a Higher Power, and that the chair
le had just occuj>ied, exalted as it
was, had not been filled by any
thing better than Clay.

?ancauer Lectured.
Comets and Women.?Comets I
doubtless answers some wise, and
^ood purposes in the creation ; so do
women. Comets are incomprehen- |
sibly beautiful and eccentric; so are
women. Comets shine with peculiar 1
splendor, but at night appear most
spendid: so do women. Comets
are enveloped with a lucid nebula, (
through which their forms are visibh ;
so are those of women through their
light and elegant attire.?Cometscon
found the moat learned, when they
attempt to learn their nature ; so do
women. Comets equally excite the
admiration of the philosopher and
of " the clod of the valley," so do
women. Comets and women are
therefore cloaely analogous, but the
nature of each being inscrutable, all
that remains for us do is, to view with
admiration the one, and almost to
adoration love the other.
