A sketch of the thing called
A Bachelor.
He is a sort of a whimsical being, which
nature never fended to create; he was
formed out of the odds and ends of what
materials were left after the great work was
over. UsBuckily for him the finer passions
are allmixed ap in the composition of thos
creatures intended for social enjoyment;
what remains for the baghelor is hardly e-
uough to rub round the crusty mould inte
which he is thrown; to avoid waste, some

tosses d€if love without measure-—a kind of;
undeystanding that is fit for no other use
a sprinkling of wisdom, which turns acid’
frorn the sour disposition of the vessel in
which itis contained; and the whole com.
position is concluded with an immederate
portion of oddities. Thus formed-—thus)
finished~~a bachelor is popped into the
warld—~mere lumber without a possibility
of Itving happy himself, or essentially con-
tributing to the happiness of others. His)
only business is te keep himself quiet; he
ts up to lie down, and lies down to get up
fo tender impressions enlivens his walk-
ing hours; no agreeable dreams disturb
his slumber. If ever he speaks the lan-
guage of sensibility, he speaks it on the ex-
cellance of some favorite dish, or on the
choice liquors with which his cellar a-
donnds; on such subjects he feels the rap-
tures ofa lover, The pace ofa bachelor

threaten a deluge. But.shew him a lady.
