THE BACHELOR'S LAMENT. Musings by Flaccus. They tell me to hasten, and marry But ah! 'tis the cost that I fear; And priderre -t41 waris, me to tarry, Ere seeking musemeut so deAr. Oh! thlpe' rapture utitucasured li wooing, And sweet the confesslon when won; Bitt. the huise-keeping hot rors, pursu ing, Are sure to make sentiment rim. Thu1s I mused t'other night, as fair Chloe Swam round in the dance at my side; I imust furnish that wardrobe so showy, If rashly'l make her my bride. That slimtniry foot, and its fellow.

A flw Fumo.--Many of our c'iti zenls will dloub1tless recollect the 'late James WV. ~Johnston, a resi dent of Castle Hayne, in Penider county, N, C. lHe was quite aged and decrepit, and his general ap ,pcar'ance indicated that he was possessed of but fe w otf th is world's goods. During a visit to this city a few months since, he dlied very suddently in the Scarborough House, on North Walter steet. H is family consisted of threoe dlaught era and son, oneO of the former be ing the widow of the late Thlomas Williams, of Penderi county.. Sinle the death of the old gentleman .a muimber of vatlu alie bonds and secu-~ rities have b)en discovered among' :fhis effects, and which were sold1 at public auction a few days since the total sale amounting :to about $10,000.~ And now comes eviden~ce ~of how well thegold man took .care of the .precious metals which came into his .possession. Under the be lief that be h&d~soinbutied treas ure a sarnh was imntdt a (lnv or Mrs qince, whick xerulf4 in the discovery of about $22,000'in gold and silver, which he had Securely deposited in jars and buried undei his house. The discovery of so much of the valuable metals was a most agreeble surprise to the members of the family, who will thus come into possession, in con nection with the proceeds of the bonds, of from $8,000 to $10,000 apiece. Our information is deriv ed from a very reliable source, and the main facts of the "big find" can be relied upon as strictly true. -Willmington Star. WivEs SPEAKING OF HUSBANDS. Says the "Pall Mall Gazette:" What ought a wife to call her hus band in speaking to a third per son? Should she say "my hus band,'' or should she use the sur name without any prefix (as Mrs. Carlyle used to talk of "Carlyle,") 01 should she adopt another plal of that lady's, and speak, as it were, of "Mr. C?" Perhaps it is a matter of indifference in Eng land; but in France a woman's us age in the matter is taken as a test of breeding. In the provinces., it seems, wives speak of their Is ha(nds as 'monsieur," as if their particular "on'lsieu W,' were sipe rior to all others. Or perihaps they think this style ex)resses an in ditIernee ind icaz tive of "hon ton,'' "my117 husband,"' they ilmiaine, would be vulgar. With the polite worldI of Paris, on Conltra ry, "Ily Iushand" is nece)te(l as the )rol er phrase, sulbject to two eXce)t ions. A very affectionate wif' may speak of her lsbaishnd by the Chrisitian name, while after a cer-I tain Ige any other style except the sur mie With the prefix "mon sieur" is held to be ridieilous, anl a sign of " provincialism.'
