It is a weary thought for Jjip Inman heart to brood over, that in the wide universe of. life there is ho other heart to qiiiokett with our own,.no smile to welcome, our coming, no eye to brighten with our joy, or weep with oujt affliction. There is no thought which falls so heavily and darkly, on (lie human spirit. It is, us ]f a leaden hand had been laid upon it, never (o be lifted, 1 never to be warmed from its frozen communion. Yet, there is much in a Bachelor’s life which is pleasant, much of real ami unadul terated happiness. The romance of the tnarried passes rapidly away, never to re turn. The cares aiid duties of domestic life break’in upon the beautiful dream; and the sundered links of imagination arc never, again united. Not so with the Bachelor.— Ilomancc.is to him as fhe breath of life it self; and as age comes on, ho. gathers back ,to himself the day dreams of his boyhood; and, if Ipas vivid than the long past reality, they are more sweetly beautiful, ns (he moonlight hues of memory linger upon them. •' “Visions have hovered over hU sleep, Light, fairy forms have bent above him; And eyes smiled on liim, like the deep, Expressive one of those who love him.

It contains much agrebable matter, a sample of which we sub join. ' It is an anecdote of Governor Went worth,; the last-of the Colonial Governors of Hew Hainpshire, and is stillj-e]ated_by_the. aged people, of the neighborhood in which' he lived. ,< ‘He had, it seems, married a very pretty little girl, some thirty years his junior, who, like most young wives, was foiid of-gaiety, and liked, better to pass the evening in strolling through the woods by moonlight, or ip dancing at some merry-making, than |n the arniq.of her gray-haired husband.

The lady then badeher'seryant try the windows, but. tills the governor had foreseen;- they were.all secured.

JThe' goberness now instructed her serr vant to run swiftly to the water, as if in pursuit of.her, and to throw a large stone over the bank, screaming as if in terror, at the moment of doing it, while she would re main concealed behind the door. The non chalance was.not quite at ease when he heard his wife express her determination.—Listen ing therefore, very attentively; he heard the rush to the water side—the expostulations of the servants—the plunge and the screams; and knowing his wife to be very rash, in her moments of vexation, and really loving her must tenderly, he no longer doubted the re ality. ...

A VOYAGE ONA FLAT BOAT. A series of adventures of a man, by the nameuf James Clark, came to our knowl edge the other day, which for the marvellous, would not compare ill with Sinbad the Sai lor. About four years ago, Clark started on a flat boat with his wife and four children from the town of Erie, Pa. situated on the lake of that name, and by the route.uf_the Ohio and Erie Canal, reached the Oliio river Descending the Ohioand Mississippi, making, a brief stay at our landing on his Way, he reached Bayou Lafouche, in .Louisiana.— 1 Leaving the BayoU by the South-west pass, he progressed on his voyage, until he was blown off, about 12 miles into the Gulf.— A change of wind and a high .tide drove his flat boat back again and stranded her on a ■ Sand bat near Sunatique. Here he was do-, tained three months, four or five hundred, yards from the Water, during which period he killed a large number of wild hogsi'and salted pork enough to supply his family ..for 2 years afterwards. He also erected.for his own accommodation and that of travellers, quite a respectable dwelling from, the drift wreck wood, thrown by the waves upon the shore. A high tide at. length ensued, ami the flat boat was once mure-put upon the ■ •pit^v' 1 T» about thirty miles in width) he entered the mouth of tlie ttionatchce,and thenoe ascend-. 4d to the town of Beaunmnt, In Texas.—-• Here he erected a.house fur use of his flat boat .fur material as far as>lt would go, in finishing his edifice. We are informed that Mr. Clark is now flourishing in Texas, ‘like a green bay treei’. antTappears to be' ‘spreading his branches* in the most approved, manner, having beenblessed witli- . a.couple ofbabies and a very promising flock—'; . of-young-pigß;duringbis-sliurtsnjaarnin~tlfc-’'' -land of refuge and Vicksburg USE OF COAL IN THE U.
