A BACHELOR'S MISGIVINGS' I have though of getting married rVhen I've seen thee, Mary Jane, With thy dainty silks and satins, With the crinoline and train ; But a whisper came across mo, Like a sign with omen rife, 4 Ah, 'tis very well to marry", But oh, canst thou keep a wife !" There sre laces, there are jewels, There is many a thing beside That looks charming on a maiden, But not quite so on a bride. If your purse is brimming over, You may win and you may wear ; But, alas ! if it be empty, My good fellow, have a care." So the whisper I have heeded. And I have not offered j'et, But my thoughts arc taken captive, And my heart is on tiiec set ; Yet I feel I dare not venture Till I know, oh, Mary Jane, Should I be too poor to deck thee, Couldst ihou be contented plain ! . There arc milliners in plenty To entrap a heedless fair; There are artist, too, in jewe's, There ore workers, too, in hair; Canst thou pass unheeding by them, Canst thou hold thy purse strings tight, With a dinner party looming, Or a ball that very night! If the last new bonnet suits thee, Canst thou wear it still the tame, Though a newer pattern tempt thee. Latch' handed down to Lmc? Will a dress or two content thee When stern Fashion orders more, And a solitary head-dress do Instead of half a score I But the' tell me I am raving, To expect so strange a thing, And they laugh to scorn my musings, And the hones to which I cling: So I fear I must resign thee, And a bachelor remain, Yet I never can forget thee, ; Oh too cosi!y Nairy Jane Rapping. A worthy man visited a medium, to witness the wonders of spiritual rappings. He had lived twelve years with a notorious shrew, who at last died, soon after which he married a young woman of comily person and pleas ant disposition. On inquiring if any spirits! were present, he was answered by raps in the affirmative. "Who !" 4,Tho spirit of Mciinda, your deceased wife." "Ah!" exclaimed he, with a gesture 0ft alarm : but recovering himself, he kindly in-J I: "Arc you s-aisfied with you condi- quired tion !" 1 rB "Are you happy 1" "Perfectly so," replied the spirit.

' You being the second person, and always present, we arc careful what we soy, but Mr. I. thinks for himself, speaks for himself and acts for himself, which make him a very sc-JisJi sort of bivalve.

Ink will not rebound, stones do, and somebody might get hurt. The first person is al ways gaping for the lion's share, forget ing there are a good many other first per sons who have just as good a right to that very share. This taking care of number one has cost our lauded and applauded Uncle Samuel several dollars since democracy degenerated into rascality and dollars and cents. And so too during the late little difficulty our Uncle had with the "err ing" of Africa. lie had to have his pockets mafic larger, and having consid erable (o attend o, just so sure as the corner of a green back stuck out, some hungry cur at his feet would snatch it and disappear in the crowd. This is the "conscience money" that comes back to Uncle without saying who stole it. I think the conscience money men were re publicans ; democrats have had no con science to make it of for the last twenty years. The great Democratic First Per son run himself into the ground with that rusty old nobody known as J. B. It has not vitalit- enough in its veins to cry "nigger" an more. Assuming to be somebody it became nothing, and it has vanished away into thick darkness with the names of its J. B's. its Woods, its Daviscs, its Breckenridges, Vallanding- ims, Pcndlctons and its "ayes." That avcricious old First Person I. has proved too much for the great Dem ocratic Party and already we see, not a wonderful monument rearing its pure head up so high -as to part the passing clouds of heaven, but a sappy unpainted hickory plank with these words written on it with red chalk ; The Democratic party exploding in thick air, We could not find its bones, and few there were to care.

Now the Great Rebellion was built on the principle of First person I. and Ne gro nobody. How beautifully the thing reversed itself ! Negro comes out a man and the ex-slaveholder nothing more !

If you attend to this matter as you should you will never break one injunction of the decalogue .and your .store of happiness will be wonderfully enlarged. I take it for granted, of course, that you all want to be happy and I know of no better or more direct road to that point. The principle on which our noble fore fathers founded our Government is one in which every man's I. is equal, and the First Person is the People. How differ ent from Kingdoms and Empires ! The people with these arc convenient to put money and power into the hands of the nobility but beyond this they arc a third person affair. It is the office of our Gov ernment to do good to its people, of an emperor and king to do good to their own first person. Ours is a Bible doctrine government, there's the doctrine of Mam mon. There is no doubting the destiny of each. Ours shall stand as long as there is a government on earth, whilst theirs will work out their own ruin and fall.

It is fashiouable with many to come in to church, long after the services havo begun, to the edification of the curious in the congregation and comfort of the nerves of the pulpit.

These questions were addressed to the guide, a noble specimen of mankind tall and erect as an Indian, with dark, pierc ing eyes of the eagle eyes that could look squarely at the sun in its meridian glory without being dazzled. While King was yet speaking, Ruxton, the guide, slid from his horse and scan ned the ground closely. For upward of a minute an hour it seemed to his com panions he looked at the ground ; and then suddenly returned to his blooded bay and sprang on his back. "What shall we do ?

"No time for talking," replied that guide in a low determined voice. "I am captain and must be obeyed hand me your weapon."

The trigger was pulled and the beast fell over before he had tak en his place as leader. The stallions notf stopped as if irresolute how to proceed ; but Ruxton saw, leaving the ranks, far in the rear, a self-appointed captain, who, with movements we might with some de gree of truth say, were analageous to lightning, pushed to the front. "Itrill be a full minute before he reaches the van," mused the guide. "T. will have time enough to reach the train. Ha ! the wind is changing ! We are saved saved."
