THE BACHELOR'S SOLILOQUY. Marry, or not to marry? Tlmi's the question ? Whether tis nobler in the initi<1 to suiter The sullen silence of these cob-wehhed rooms, Or seek in festive hulls some cheerful dame, And, by uniting, end it? To live alone No more. And by marving say we end The h curiae he and the thousand make shifts liaelielors arc heiis to; tis a consjimnation Ocvutitly to sc wished. To marry, to live In peace! Perchance in war?ay, there's thejrub; l or in the marrirge state what ills may come, When we have shuttled off our liberty Must ii,ake its pause ? there's the respect That makes us dread the bonds of wedlock; I'.ir who could bear the noise of scolding wives, The fits ofsfdeen. the extravagance of dress.

Tlic insolence ofservants, ami the spurns That patient hushamls frotn their consorts take, When he himself might his onietness gain 1living single? Who woiiM wish to bear The jeering name of bachelor, lint that the "Irea'l of something after marriage ' \h, that vast expenditure of income The tongue can scarcely tell) puzzles the w ill, And makes us rather choose the single life.

In the silent watches of the night he eauld still see the ghastly face of the companion of his boyish days as he lay dead?murdered ; and n gilt after night in his dreams the duel would be repeated, and it was only when he drank deep that he could find rest from the horrid phantom. The victim left a wife and several small children in reduced circumstances, and although in comfortable circumstances himself, Druuigoolc dared not offer relief, because be was the murderer of the widow's husband and father of her orphan children, from that moment his resolve was taken, and no miser hoarded his resour ccs with more of care or tried harder to increase his wealth and to place it on a sure foundation than did General Drouigoolc, and although some might guess yet none ever knew the reason, until after his death it was found that all he possessed was given to the heirs of his unfortunate friend.

Jler protector, utterly unable to brush a fly from his own face, ller companion, lying iu the stupor of death , with tioue ot its solemn dignity.

And if there is a commandment ^seemingly impossible to obey,* it ia for a woman to love a man whom she is in deadly fear of, obey a man who can't speak his commands intelligently. The theory ol recognizing our friends in a future world is a beautiful ouc, and worthy of much thought.^utj, I think it is commendable to try to keep them in a condition to recognize us" in this world, try to keep a man while he is alive so he will know his wife and children, and not, as often occurs, turn them out into a storm of a winter midnight, or murder them in his frenzy ?Auv/t.

Her sun will rise and set with her husband; she will desire no higher sphere than that afforded by her home, and she will keep her good looks and good temper as long as health and life arc spared her. She will bear pain, toil and anxiety without a murtner; for her husband's love will give her strength and patience; adver sity will lose the sharpness of its sting, shielded and sheltered as she is by him.
