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!

In the blue vault above,
And spirits breathing lightly,
Are whispering tales of love.

A joyous melody;
But I heed not their sweet music,

And the flowers are replyng

In ton-i of fairly glee;

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! 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 !

DR. 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. -. - -..-..
