I'm shunned by each maid I - survey, My wrongs I may never declare. - Let me turn to whomever I may I still have some mis'ry to share. - Celibacy! where, are the charms Some people have seen in - thy face ? Betterbe in some fair maiden's arms Than in-this desolate place. The ladiei are out of my reach, And - so I mast wander atone, Seldom list to their mitsical speech, Nor favor their ears with my own. The fair ones, I meet in the street, Ilfy form with indifference see, They are so well acquainted with men . Thatl fear they will never havo.me. - And O, matrimonial love! Divinely bestowed upon man, Had I but' the wings of a dove Haw soon- would I perfect my plan! Since beauty is now ail the rage, I would like afrir lady, I vreen . And though I'm not nice as fo ttgo I'd prof,. her, about seventeen. And Marriage! what treasure untold Is fofind in that heavenly word, Twerp heaven itself to, b.hold The pleasure Which that can afford ; • But the sighs Which I fruitlessly heave, These hard-hearted maids never hear; Never take any heed when I grieve.: Or drop the couip a s s ionate tear_ • Se maids that have made me your sport, Convey to this desolate hull • Some grateful and cheering report From one I cant visit at all. Pray ask her, if she wonldn't send . „. An encouraging missive to me! And graciously now condescend • The old bachelor once more to . see! How fleet is a glance of the mind! Compitred,with the speed of its flight, Steam and-galvanismboth lag hehind And the swift winged arrow of light. When I think .of the plerisurei rye bail And life's early promise so fair I forget reminiscences sad, ._ That soon drive me back to despair. But the turkeys bare gone - to their neit-; The cat has lain down by the fire, And as bachelors to must hare rest, , now tAny bed will retiri. :: , The bed is so shockingly colds!

"How beau tiful," soliloquized she, is: this pure gem. of .earth, and what a contrast to-my °Wu 'glow-. ing mantle is her .white robe." , There- was no self complaisance in leer tone as she spoke those words. And was it. a tinge from the western sky that illuminated tlie Lily ; or.did her'companion's. words • bring a - faint - . blush over her pale face? - It Matteis not whick,but thenceforth fiir a long tiine they were friends.
