0, WHO'D BE A BACHELO1L On, who woula be a bachelor, And pass the vale of life, Without the fond caresses Of a young and lovely wife ? Not lke the gaudy butterfly, With charms that wax and wane, A wife bath charms that long endure, And e'en to death rema''. Around the winter fire-side, When howling storms are rife, There's nought that's half so pleasant,. As a loving, cheerial wife 1 Ier smiles dispels the darkest mist, That e'er becloude Cho way, And sheds around the path of life, An ever cheering ray. When spring time bids the e.-rt be clothed, In new and.beauteous life, Then fairer than the fairest form, Appears the loving wife. Whoever then would live alone, 1ust bear'in mind the bane, That he who is a bachelor Is not a happy man! ri DmuEr O, Lov or THEE BY ALIE VERNON. Tim stars are shining brightly In the blue vault above, And spirits breathing lightly, Are whispering tales of love. rhear the tones of angels A joyous melody; But I heed not their sweet music, I'm dreaming, love, of thee. The breeze is softly sighing As it fans my cheek and brow, And the flowers are replyng In strv'ns so rich and low, I hear the brool-lets murmur, In ton-i of fairly glee; But I heed not their sweet music, I'm dreaming, love, of thee. tiscdAl it's. W.DOWS. Some people have a prejudice against %idows, but for our padi we could never tell what for-g*rls will do very well in their place, but one widow is worth half a dozen of them any day. Girls are so shy, so timid, so rese, red, so basbrol! Very few of them know how to make love, and when they undertake it, it is awkwardly done? .-But widows undersPtnd the whole process. They are used to it. They are experienced cavaliers in the dashing court of Cupid. They know when to advance and when to retreat. When to Jay siege to a heart, when to attack it by storm. More cases have succumbed to the dazling bright eye of a widow clad in weeds than were ever .taken, by the dreamy, melancholy orbs of maidenhood. Believe us, there is more real danger in the dark and waving tresses of a bereaved one of twenty-two, than lurk in the golden locks of all giridom. See, there goes one now. Scarcely a twelve mouth has softened down her excessive grief. But wvomen can't weep alwvays. They are made of something else besides tears and that one bas aixeady found out that her charms are not entirely faded. She lias not throwai aside her sable weeds yet, but the heavy and sombre bombazine has given place to light and graceful fabric, which shows beneath its folds the white pet ticoat, and sets off more beautiful her sym metrical form, and fzils more elegan ly from her polished shoulders. Noice her little foot as she trips along-how daintily it touches the ground, and howv adroitly she manages it to e>-'bit shie well proportioned ancle. Ah! that is a woman for you. But look at her bonnet, wl1 youi Seventeen summers could never manage to wear it after that fashion. See howv jasntly it e'nvers her head, and how many sly giances she is enabled to it-rowv from beneath it? and every one a barbed arrowv that trans fixes the heart of some poor foolish love sick swvain. Did you ever notice how muob more apt rather young men are to full in love with widows and girls that have passed the suih mer of life, than with young girls ? Well here is the secret of it. They are expe rienced angvlers. They know with what soit of hooks to fish with, what sort of bate to use, and how to draw in their prey. In this they have a great advantage over girls who are still only in A pril and May. The former do three-fourths of the courting, while the latter leave it nll to be done by their suitors. But there comes one of them. Look at he. She is.:iecidedly pretty. She is a girl of fine natural capacity, and is well educated. She is whbat is called accomplish ed. Her toilette is perfect. What colors could better become her complexion, or what fab, ics beiter suit her form ? Look at thiat eye, if you can catch a glimpse of it beneath the langusiing lid howv soft and dreamy. Behold the brow, how white and polished. See that arm, how firm and round; those fingers, how soft and tapering. In conversation she is agreeable and a party is incomplete iihout her. And yet-is it not melancholy to believe it!-the chances are even that that girl, lovely as she is, will die an old maid. At any rate wve wvill Wager our old boots thmat our wvidow gets married before her. Such, however, is the world. Evidently there is a fault somewhere. There must be somef'ng.aong in the way in which mar ritige is brought about among civilized na tions. Look at the number o' old bache lors about, who ne'ver have tasted the sweets of mats imony. And look, too, at the num ber of women who are pining in single Blessedness. The Great Being who pre sides over all things did not intend it should be so. Ho intended every man should have a mate. But how to rectify the fault we pretend not to be Solomon enough to know. Bachelors, of course after they arrive at the age of twenty-five, ought to be taxed. And we trust that a bill to that effect will be brought to the attention of the Legislature. Let Alabama take the lead in this matter, why should'nt she? And the committee on propositions and grievances ought to pro tide some way to marry off the girls by the time they are seventeen. We are inclined to think that these matters are much better managcd among the Indians and other bar. barous tribes than by us. We don't mean to recommend Polygamy. That would be worse than the evil we wish to cure and would make us little better than the Mor mons. But we find ourselves running into graver matters than we intended when we com menced this article, and so we conclude as we commenced-on widows. If all the women were widows,. there would be no diaiculty about iti but they ain't, and there is no way of making. them so, until you make them wives, and- that is thje very thing we want to get at. Wel' we have pointed out the evil; let wiser men devise a remedy.. rTuskegee Republican. A CONiENTED NaN. A correspondent of the Journal of Com. merce wrote recently to a friend in Mary- I land, and expressed a i;sh to make him rich. V His ftiend sent him the following reply: a MY DEAn FRIEND: But I am rich! I have- got a boy whose eyes sparkle like t "jewels of the wine," and whose smiles a-e i purely angelic, and there is so much of t heaven in his face, that, when I see l'm, I r am out of the "u of this life. Why, I I have such tranqu'lity, such bliss, that the i moments flying are of more value, each of r them, than the baightest sands of Cali'ornia. t I am tich ! for I daily %%itness scenes in the "drrma" of the world's affitrs that make me humble, make me thoughtful, make me thankful, make me charitable, make me peacefol. I am rich! for I live in an age big with the events of the world's progress. In my boyhood I read of the st: ring scenes of the American Revolution; of the meteoric whirl of Napoleon; of all such events as Would tre the mind of youth, and I wished that I could live at a time when I could be in the midst of such mighty events; and now here I am, at a period in the history of the world more interesting than any before it; when there is a more general a greater development of mind than ever before; when these are mightier revolutions than ever before; and not so much by leading individuals spirit, as by a universal and vol. untary spi-it pei :ading all classes. There was a t1ne when the poet sang thus: "How fleet is the glrice of the n '-d Compared witi the SikCd of it- inght. The tempest itse' lags bel' :d, And the swia wi'g< 1 arrows of light !" Not so could he sing now, for we follow in the lightning's wake, and are up with the " glance of mind." I am rich! for I u'tness the struggle for the gold of CaLIrornia; the lives sacriliced, the desperate reachng fo. th of tottering old age for that gold which it worships in the rays of the setting sun, and am happy that tie current has not borne me ttither. I am rich ! for I have a virtuous mind, and have no rellish for tie society of the dissolute and iicious; and their pleasures, to me, seem all blackness. I am rich I for I have a peaceful mind; and though the i icissitudes of life have been many and severe to me, their effect upon my mind has been such that the retrospect is softened, and I look back upon my expe r'ence, and a dream like vista welcomes my %iew. I am at times annoyed in my pecu nialy affairs, and I feel that destiny his given me to a sen ice that is unworthy of me; but I rally from the influence of those stings when I can, as the tree rises when the storin has passed by, and I have hours of tranquillity that afford me a balance for all the trials. Look out from your window; perchance you see the fine carriage and the trapping of wealth (which things I do rot object to; I speak not of them in a cynical way)-gay in dress may be the occupants, but possibly the weight of sorrowv upon their hearts if expressed in pounds, wvould stop the wheels of that carriage. Such reflections must teach us that we each have our shares of wealth in the true sense of that world. I live on, and in trouble something al wvays comes to my rescue, and my wish to be rich is prompted less by a desire for my own grat'icationi, than to he able to recip rocate acts of kindness I have experienced from others. You see that I tot a at the touch of your pen to show you that the sun shines here, and that it is not such a serious thing to live, and taken all in all, thuis world is about wvhat it wvas intended to be. FAmfER SNUG hAD FA~)R SLACK. THE~ CONTRAsT. I have lately made some obser vations up on the difference between fairmners, which with your leave, I shou1ld like to lay before your readers. In the first place, let us ex amine the premises of a good farmer.-His barns anad out buildings are a periect mode~l of neatness. Not a board missing on thme barn, to let in the winter winds and snows; but all is wvarm and comfoi table. His yardls do not showv the wvant of time to clear them, conscquently, lie does not lose one guarter of his manure-the most valuable and ne cessary article in all improvemnents is agri culture. Not only is this amount saved, but the pleasure of getiing around the yards and barns is greatly facilitated, and greatly to his advantage. Examine his fences, you find no rails or hoards missing-all is snug and in order. His cattle and sheep are in their places, not troublinig his neighbors. Ask this man to take an agricultural paper, and nine cases out of ten he will tell you he is taking one already, but wvould like to renew his subscription for another year. Ask him if lie could get along without it, and he i ill tell you perhaps he could, but lie wvould not as long as he could obtain one for so trifling a sum. T1his is the scientific farmer. Now let us viewv the pre:nises of far mer Slack, and mark the difference. His barns speak out-they want now and~ then a board, (and octener now than then,) to keep the contents from the snows and storms of winter. His yards show the effect of easy habits-too much that is valuble going to waste. His fences denote the same want of care and attention. In some places only the traces of a fence are risible, so that wvith utmost ease, bis own cows can go from field to fie!d, or bis neighbor's cattle partake of the herbage that his owvn so much require, jdidging from their appearance. Such is the farm of neighbor Slack-as he is termncd. Ask him to take an agricultural paiper and mark his answer-99 cases out of 100 him or his prototype will tell you no-I want none of your book-farming. He is content ed to go on in the same routine his father did before him. To such I would say, of the two, give me the book-Iarmer, for that is the kind of farming for me. Moreover, I would ask what is it that makes the differ ence betwveen the two farms I have repre sented. One takes an ngricultnral Journal and studies his profession, while the other does not. The contrast is drawai irom facts I which have lately come under my observa- I tion, andl are not exagerated. A UGU~iTUs. A WEsTERN E.DITOR thus ap)ologiSes for the non-appearance of his paLper at the usual I time.< " Owing to the facts that our paper maker ' disappointed us, that the mails failed and a deprived us of our exchanges, that a Dutch a pedler stole our sci-,.ors, that the rats run off d with our paste, anid the dedi w ent to the circus, while the editor was at home tending babies, our paper is unavoidably delayed it beyond the proper period of publication." a THE proprietor of a bone mill advertises that those sending their own bones to be nl ground, w'il be attended to with punctuali- 5 ty and dispatch..a a! NG THE ELA!NT, The stage in which I was a passenger ad stopped to change horses, and " feed" he passengers, at a small town in Vermont, nd dinner over, we were awaiting the ar ial of a stage upon an intersecting route, D proceed upon our journey. Cigars had een lighted, and by way of iassing our ine, we had commenced a critical exami ation of the mammnoth pictoiial posters of aiaum's Menagerie, which covered the valls of tlie spacious bar-room. Barnum's lame opened a fruitivl topic of conversa ion; every one prcsent beemed stored with Lnecdotes of the " Napoleon of Showmen," Lmd the Woolly Horse, the Feejee Mermaid, md Joice Helt, were not forgoLten in the liscussion which followed. Suddenly a long, slab-sided indisidual sith an owl-like enpression of iisdom and lignily, who had been listening to our re narks with an eident desire to take a hand, aroke out "I s'pose you think that's an all-fired big :oncera! Any body would that hadn't seen it. " Then I suppose you have seen it? said ny legal friend. " Yeas, I seen it at Springfield," was the reply; "it's a derned humbug!" " Is it possible !" said the Major, seeing a prospect of fun. " Coulda't you oblige us ni.h a descpiion of the "institution ?" " Cei iaiily," answered Jonathan; " here's Ihe stlge, and as soon as we get started, ['l give you all the ite:ns. They can't humbug me very often, arnd when they do, I ca'late to advertise for t'iem IPi I get squa -e." In a few minutes we were under head way, and opr verdant friend commenced unbosoming lF-nself. " Yer see, Dal ium was a going to show his caravan dow i to Spi ingfield, Fourth of July, and I thought there'd be a good chance to see the elephant and celebrate, both at one't. What I wanted to see more than all the rest was the Ca- of Jugglenot, drawn by a string of elephants." '-Did it meet your expectations I" "I never seen one side of it. Before I got in town, they'd got all through para. d61," the elephants was uniarnessed, and the Ca- of Jugglenot was into a woodshed. I made up my mind right off, then, that the hull consarn was a humbug." " Was Barnum aware," I asked, " that you were to be in town 1" "Not as I know," was the answer. "If he had known it," added. the Major, "he would doubtleishAwaited. But you vtsited the exhibition, I suppose I" "Of course; I was bound to do that, if it bust me. That was a bigger humbug than all the rest." "How so!" " Why, in the first place, I expected to see Jeany Lind." " Was she announced in the bills I" "I don't know; I didn't read 'em, but I axed the man that stuck up the picters if she'd be there, and he said yes and that she'd sing the bird song stadin' on top of a cage of coeatoos and parrots. She wan't there, and I never seed one side of her and then I knowv'd the whole consarn was a darned hiumbug. " Well, then, I went round and took a look at the elephants-had hard work to get round, tu; there wvas mnor'n a hundred thousand people in the tent. Finally I got where they was, and the liks was all feed in' 'emi with apples and enkes and thinigs. [ had some doughnuts in my lhat, so 1 held it out to one of the darned zl'igs, to :.ee i. he'd take one I" "Did lie take one I" " He took 'em all, and the hat it, stuck 'em in [is nasty, peaked mouth, and began eatin'. I hollowved to the keeper, and told him it wias a bran new hat, lie said never mind, he'd get it again." " Yes, lie got it, but a hat ain't of much account after an elephant's chiawed it. Thenz, I'd a sworn the hull consarn was a humbug. Well, I took a look at Tom Thumb, and thme Ceylong Chief, and the man that fiddled with his toes, and the feller that went in with the Lions. TIhe wild animals was well enough, but I dlidnl't see as they looked any dliff'erent from any body else's. I eqccied Darnu'n's li. ns would be twice ns big as any others. Tihere was one thing, though, that was fat-r-ate ; that was the wax statuary, especially the " intemperance fmily." I told the man tuk care of it, I wished every one that ever driniked a drop of sperrits had to stand and look at that about a week-they'd never want to drink again. He said lie wished so tu. "Tuke it all in all, though, I was mad; [ didnt see what I expected, and I didn't like tihe idea of being humbugged, so I inquired of one of thme men that was stir. rin' up the monkie's, wvhere Barnum was, and lie pointed him out to me, selling 1em anade out of a wvagon. I went up to him, andl, t'inks I, " ll give himi a piece oh my mind." Sez I " Mr. Barum-" "Sixpence a glass," sez he. " I looked at his lemonade; there wvas just one lone, solitary, second-handed slice af lemon in a whole wash-tub full of it, and ie pedlin' it out at sixpence a glass. That nde me madder thani alt the rest, so says [, loud and audita-bly "' Mr. Ba-num, I ti'inkc your show's a larned humbug." " Young man," sez he, "I s'poso you >aid to come in i'' " Supposin' I did I" sez I. " el"sez he, "supposin' you have; rou have paid you" quarter, and you've a >erfect right to think just what you d-n ease." " Why," said the Major, after the sensa ion caused by this recital had somewhat ubsided, " why did you not demand your noney backi You certainly could have ~ompelled them to refu~nd your quarter." "You see the truth is," said Jonathan, cratching his head, " I didn't pay no uarter-I cr-awled in unadcr the canvas !

HTOOFLAND'S CELEBRATED GERMAN BITTERg, IRErARED BY DR. C. 1%. JACKSON, AT THE GERMAN MEDICINE STORE, 120 Arch Street, Philadelphia. T HEIR power over the above diseases is not ex celled--if equalled-by any other preparation in the United States, as the cures ntest, in many cases after skilful physicians had failed. These Bitters are worthy the attention of invalids. Possessing great virtues in the rectification of di. eases of the Liver and lcuser glands, exercising the most searching powers in weakness and affections of the digestive organs, they are withal, safe certain and pleasant. Read and be Convinced! The editor of the " BOSTON BEE," said, December 22nd, 1850: Dn. HooFLAND's CE.TERR ATED GERMAN BITTERS for the cure of Liver Complaint, Jaundice, Dyspep sia, Chronic or Nervous Debility, is deservedly one of the most popular medicines of the day. 'These Bitters have been used by thonsands. and a freind at our elbow says lie has himself received an eflectml and permanent cure of Liver Complaint from the use of this remedy. We are convinced that, in use of these hitters. the patient constantly gain strengith and vigor-a fact worthy of great considerati'in. They are pleasant in taste and smell, and can be uised by persons with the most delicate stomachs with safety, under any circumstances. We are speaking from experience, and to the afflicted we advise their use. "ScoTT's WEr.Kt.v," one of the best Literary iaperv publlished, said, "Dr. lioor.AN11's GFnAN RITTFR.s, mianufac. ttred by Dr. Jackson. are now recommended by some of the most prominent members of the faculity as an article of much efliency in cases of female weakness. As such is the case, we would advise all mothers to obtain a bottle, and thus save themselves much sick ness. Persons of debilitated constitutions will find these Fitters advantageons to their health, as we know from experience the salutary effect they have upon week systems." More Eridence The " PnTLADt.Pn1tA SATURDAY GAZETTE," the best family newspaper published in the United States, says, of these valuable Bitters: " It is seldom that we recommend what are term ed Patent Medicines, to the confidence and patron age of our readers; and therefore when we recom mend Dr. Hoofland's German Bitters, we wish it to be distinctly understood that we are not speaking of the nostrim of the dlay, that are noised about for a brief period and then forgotten after they have lone their giuilty race of maschief, but of a medi. cine long establshed, universally prized, and which has met the hearty approval of the facilty itself." Evidence upon e vidence lins been received (like the foregoing) from all sections of the Union, the last three years, and tihe sirongest testimony in its favor, is. that there is more of it used inm the prntice of tie regular Physicians of 'hiladelpiia, than all other nostrums c'mbined, a fact that can ensily be estab lished, and fully proving tlat P scientific preparation will meet with their quiet approval wlien presented even in this foram. That this medicine will enre Liver Complaint andl Dyspepia, nto one can doubht after ting it as direct ed. It acts specifically upon time stomach and liver ; it is preferable to calomel int all bilious d'sees-tle effect is imamediate. Thmey can be adinistered to female or infant with safety anid reliable benefit at anty time." Beware of Counterfeiters ! Titi medicine has attained that high character which is necessary fair all medicines to attain to in duce counterfeiters to limt forth sptmrious articles at time risk of time lives of iose who are innocently de ceived. -. - -..-..
