BACHELOR'S EXPERIENCE.
By H. w, B.
It is not necessary for me to relate my
early history. Why tell how, or when, or
where I was born ? That I have an exist
ence is undeniable ; this manuscript is pre
sumptive evidence of that. If any one doubts
that I have moved in society, have 6een the
world, that doubt will disappear before I
have finished. That what I write is a truth,
a fact, I leave those who may peruse this to
form their own opinion.
Suffice it, then, to say I am a bachelor, o
presentable appearance, tolerable informal
tnation, and passionately fond of young la
dies, especially the neat and tidy. Of conrse
soroe wonder why I don't get married, that's
just what I wonder at; but before I close,
you may find a reason of your own ; don't
let me anticipate your wishes, and don't get
excited over my avful fate. Perhaps I had
better entitle this after the old maxim, "The
way of the transgressor is hard ."
My life has been the mere experience of
my circle of acquaintance ; mine is written,
theirs dead or forgotten amid new joys or
deeper griefs.
When I arrived at tho impatient age of
sixteen, when long cigars and tobacco quids
made men of boys, when long-tailed coat s
boson.ed shirts, Stan jing collars and essence
of peppermint added dignity to youth fat
least, youth thought so,) and made 6ome
slim spindle-shanks a man of property and a
catch. I started out in the world with my
brains clouded with tobacco smoke and my
clothes scented with a beautiful conglomera
tion of the same del.cious odor mingled with
an agreeable perfume of peppermint. I had
two ideas desides peppermint and tobacco,
h< wever. and they were to find a wife, and
a rich old uncle, who would die soon and
leave me the bulk of his property. That
wealth, severely earned through long years
of toil and privation, would not be willingly
bequeathed to such a genius as I, nevet
troubled my mind ;it would of course, be
left me. I failed tn both, however, as every
man who starts in life with two such mad
propositions ought to do. Some fair damsel
sighing for a husband, may ask how I failed
in the first, and some lucky fool who stum
bled on a wife, may remark, any man can
marry. Ido most sincerely pity such people;
iny deepest cotntnisseration is extended to
them ; they waste brains and energy. 'Tis
not overy woman I would marry, nor every
woman would marry me ; so I am etill
looking for a wife.
After long and faithful search to find some
wealthy relative to leave me his fortune, and
after being shown the sidewalk repeatedly,
in a manner that always left an impression
upon me, I concluded that either my rich
relations were fools, or I had mistaken ray
calling. In the course of my long, distant,
and tedious peregrinations, I was introduced
to a lovely and bewitching lady of the name
of Miss Clara Angel. She smiled, and I was
in love. O! the rapture of that emotion!
How it thrilled my whole soul ! What a
new dignity it added to me ! The possibili
ty that she did not love me I never calcula
ted—the idea that any woman of intelligence
could refuse so brilliant a chance as to become
the wife of such a wonderful genius as my
self, was presumptuous ; so I spent money
for gifts, money for tickets to the theatre, to
concerts and lectures I wasted my time,
wasted my energies, exhausted my resources
made my friends sorrowful, wore out the pa
tience of of my relations, and lost my covet
ed "heirship."
On one of these calm, serene and beautiful
evenings, at the hour when the moon's silvery
light hallowed everything with a mellowing
influence. I was seated in a buggy with her
to whom my sighs and joys were all dedica
ted. Just as we nearcd the shade of a mag
nificent oak, 1 began to feel all the blended
emotions and sensations usually experienced
on such occasions, and as passion grew warm
and ardent, I confessed all. I told her of ray
love, my hopes, uiy ambition, and my pros
pects. It awakened no corresponding thrill.
Coolly and silently she listened. I grew mad
ly eloquent. I pressed the question, and she
replied:
"1 don't see the necessity of this warmth
between friends 1 love you certainly. 1 I.jve
you with a sister's love, and shall ever es
ttein you as a brother,"
This reply thoroughly unmanned me. 1
had plenty of sisters at home ; 1 knew the
value of a 6ister's love. Being a worthless,
good for-noihing fellow, my 6isters were con
stantly teasing the life out of me ; and when
my senses fully recovered from the 6hock
produced by her r*ply, concluded she had
flattered my fancy at the expeuse of my
pocket. She bewitched me with her
sweetness long drawn out to the tune
of misspent time and exhausted resources,
threadbare coats and laughing shoes, hats
that to all appearance had served a campaign
in Southern warfare, so awfully worn out. If
I had been born rich or a poet, 1 should
make a hero out of myself and a heroine out
of ber ; but being unfortunately destined to
go huDgry to bed, the romance of the thing
soon wore out, and 1, like others, was doom
ed to learn that woudrous wise truth "that
as good fish live in the sea as ever came out
of it." 1 vote the celebratrd individual
whose fertile mi nd originated that immortal
homily a leather medal. What on earth is
the use of trying to conciliate a rejected lover
by telling him that ? Why insult a disap
pointed fisherman, by telling him that plenty
of fish live in the sea, if none will bite his
bait 1 What consolation is it to me to know
that plenty of women walk the streets, plen
ty sit in nice parlors, waiting to be won ;
plenty that would learn your step, greet
your coming, and exercise themselves to
please, if 1 don't admire them, or if 1 "can't
see it ?" No, positively no, there is no com
fort, no solace, no consclation m knowing
these dead realities, these certain and incon
trovertible fa6ts. What does a luve r care
for truth 1 He is all romance. 1 have learn
ed the truth by bitter and humiliating expe
rience, and have got over it all bravely.
Atter 1 had finished my love affair with
her and seen the necessity of doing some
thing to regain my lost reputation and posi
tion, 1 took a careful survey of effects. To
drown myself was folly ; hanging was mad
nass ; poison was hard to lake and disagree
able in its effects ; shooting was impossible,
because 1 had not the courage ; suicide was
cowardly, and in committing it what would
1 gain ? No accidental discharge of fire
arms, no assassin's knife, no drowning by
being capsized, no death by purpose, accident
or mtention. 1 must live. O such a life !
A blank, a blot, a futnre all misery, a past
all remorse ! 1 concluded to study law. 1
fondly dreamed that in pursuit of legal fame,
love and its romance would be forgotten;
therefore 1 entered the law office of a distin
guished practitioner, and commenced the ar
duous and laborious study of law. 1 opened
Blackstone ; 1 read a few pages—thought
and dreamed over my rejection more than 1
did over what 1 read. Again and again 1
tried it with no better success. 1 gave it up.
Then 1 went to earning money. 1 read
books, earned dollars, felt good. There is
such a soothing effect upon a man' 6 nerves n
the contiDual flow of money into his purse.
1 began to take young ladies out to ride, be
gan to feel a friendship for them, loved them
all, gave up my position, determined to de
vote myself to the ladies,
1 made a selection, 1 won her ; she loved
me with all the trusting, thr.lling intensity
of a woman's first attachment ; theu I chan
ged. 1 tired of her, 1 grew indifierent, 1
threw her aside. 1 concluded that 1 should
never marry, never be satisfied. 1 tired of
myself, hated the whole world, was dissat
isfied with mankind, grew impatient ol te
straint, concluded to try law again, could
not study, left home, became penniless, be
came thoughtful, reflective, sensible. 1 wan
dered if any one had ever succeeded living
as changeable and vagrant a life as 1 was
hading. 1 concluded that to win success in
any channel, you must bend all of your uni
ted energies in that channel. 1 might be a
a genius, but if 1 scaiteied my efforts over
all the field of science or literature, 1 shout d
spend a good long life lime in reading over
what other men have learned and written
But if 1 bent my whole soul for the devel
opement of that oue truth, perhaps some
latent idea or original thought might be dis
covered that would crown my efforts with
fame if not with satisfaction.
1 returned home; 1 re-entered the law
office ; 1 again read Blackstone, correspond
ed with a number of young ladies. 1 got
into another love affair, gave a ring, becamo a
fool, and thinking to expiate my folly under
the hallowed name of patriotism, entered the
military service, was promoted to a lieulen
antcy, earned a good repuiation among my
comrades, was discharged the service, and
for a third time commenced to study law.
I though' myself thoroughly and completely
weaned from a woman's influence, but on
my arrival home, a lady of long-standing
friendship, quiet manners, dignified mien,
and lovely appearance, so warmly greeted
my return that it well nigh proved hopeless.
All mt trials, rav sacrifices, my bitter and
exhaustive experience, had done no earthly
good ; here 1 was soon to be entangled in
another love affair. And as a warm breath
plays upon my cheek, and affection's lips
press mine, and a loving arm, heart and soul
twine their gentle power around my wayward
soul, 1 am perfectly contented that. "so mote
it be " and, hereafter, shall cease to sing "No
one to love."

The following is an extract of a speech

tention, and not philosophic judgement, that

Davis.
THE POVERTY OF STATESMAN,
Statesmen who are worthy the appellation
given them, generally fail to secure fortunes.
They devote themselves to pursuits, which,
if honestly adhered to rarely yield rich re
wards.
Jefferson died comparatively poor. Indeed,
if Congress had not purchased his library and
given him five times its value, he would, with
difficulty, have kept the wolf from his door.
Madison saved money, and was compara
tively rich. To add to his fortune, however,
or rather to that of his widow, Congress pur
chased his manuscript papers, and paid thirty
thousand dollars for them.
James Mouroe, the sixth President of the
United Slates, died in New Y'ork, so poor
that his remains found a resting place through
the charity of one of his friends. They re
main in a cemetery in School street, but no
monument mark the spot where they repose
John Quincy Adauis left some hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, the result of in
dustry, prudence and inheritance. He was a
man of method economy.
Martin Van Buren ditd very rich.—
Throughout his political life he studiously
looked out for his own interest.
It is not believed that he ever spent thirty
shillings in politics IDs paity shook the
hush and he caught the bird.
Daniel Webster squandered some millions
in his life time, the product of his profesional
and polit ica! speculations. lie ditd, leaving
Ins property to his children, and his friends-
The former Sold for less than twenty
thousand dollars. The latter exceeded two
hundred and fifty thousand.
Ilenry Clay left a very handsome estate.—
It probably exceeded one hundied and fifty
thousand dollars, lie was a prudent mena=
ger, at a a scrupulously honest man.
James K Polk left about one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars—fifty thousand of
which hs saved from his Presidency of four
y ears.
John Tyler left thirty thousand dollars
Before he reached the Presidency he was a
bankrupt. In < ffiee he husbanded his means
and then married a very wealthy wife.
Zachary Taylor left one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars.
Millard Filmore is a wealthy man and
ki eps his money in a very strong and safe box
D will neter he wasted in speculation, or
squandered in vice.
Ex-President Pierce saved some fifty
thousand dollars from his tenn of service.
The value of the estate left by the late
President Lincoln is estimated at §75,000
THE ELECTION AT RICHMOND, YA.— The
Richmond papers contain full particulars of
'he election in that city on Tuesday. For
Mayor, the vote stood for Stirdevant, 1,535-
and for Taylor 921. Alarmaduke Johnson
was elected At ornsy, over L. Tazewell, by
890 majority ; Robert Howard, Clerk of the
Hustings Court,over G. L. Christian, by 336;
J. VV. Wright, Sheriff over 11. K. Ellyson, by
184, and Bcnj. Pollard, Cle p k of the Circuit.
Court, over J. Sands, bv 1.2G8 majority,—
The total number of votes polled was about
-500 less than tn 1861, just before the war
c itnmenced. As soon as the military officers
found out the result, they declared the elec
tion null and void, although it was conducted
m the most quiet manner, and although the
candidates were all citizens in good standing
Despotism has not here even a pretext.
AN INTELLIGENT CoNTRABANd.-.-Every
body lias beard of the boy, who. on being
asked if ho had greased the wagon, replied
'hat he bar, greased all ol it but the sticks the
wheels bung on, and be couldn't get at them ;
but nobody, we suppose, ever believed the
story. An instance of the kind, however,
happened in this borrough, this week. Mr.
Geo. Bright, in Market street, has in his
employ an intelligent contraband fresh from
OleVirginny. A few days ago, Mr. Bright
ordered him to" grei-te the carriage," and
soon after discovered that the darkey bad
daubed the top of the carriage all over with
tanner's oil, which was as oderiferous as the
nigger himself.— Poltsville Standard.
Ira Avery thinks that is "sufficiently
intelligent to exercise properly the right
of voting !"
DISLOYALTY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.— Last
Friday, in the New Hampshire Legislature
Mr. McNeil, HilLboruugn, introduced the
following resolution :
Reso/m/, That we cordially and earnestly
endorse the declaration of the Chief Execu
tive of the nation, that "the States which
have been in rebellion are still States, or, in
other words, that the governments of these
States were not destroyed, hut were onlv in
obeyance, and that when the rebellion was
suppressed and the laws and the Constitution
revived, neither the President or Concuss
has any authority to prescribe the qualifica
tions of electors of those States."
When the vote was taken the resolution
was rej. cted by a party vote—the Abolition
if.ts going in a body against it !
A lady who was receutly asked to join the
division of th Daughters of Temperance, re~
plied ; "That is unnecessary, as it is my in
tention to join one of the SOQS in the course
of a few weeks."

The Old Oaken Bucket.
The " Old Oaken Bucket" was written by
Samuel B Woodworth, while yet he *m
journeyman printer working in an office at
the corner of Chambers and Chatham atreeta
New York. Near by in Frankfort at. is a
drinking-house, kept by one named Mallary,
where Woodworth and several particular
friends used to resort. One afternoon the
liquor was super excellent. Woodworth
seemed inspired by it ; for, after taking ft
draught, he set his glass upon the table, and
smacking Ms lips declraed that Mallory'a earn
de vie was superior to any thing that he had
ever tasted.
"No," said Mallory, "yon arc mistaken ;
there was one which in both of our eatima*
tions far surpassed this as a drink,"
" What was that ? asked Woodworth du
biously.
"The draughts of pure, fresh spring water,
that we used to drink from the old oakan
bucket that hung in the well, after our re
turn from the labors of the field on a Sultry
day in summer." .1
Hie tear drops glistened for • moment la
Woodworth's eye. "true, true," he replied.
lie immediately returned to the offioe,
grasped a pen, and in half an hour the " Old
Oaken Bucket," one of the most delightful
compositions in our language, was ready in
manuscript to be embalmed in the memories
of suceeding generations*
A lilT OF WAR ROMANCE.
In the year 1801, when the first call for
troops was made, James Hendrick, a young
man of eighteen, resolved to leave his father's
roof, in Wisconsin, and to go forth and bat
tle for the Hag. At the time mentioned be
was attached to a young girl of nearly the
same age as himself, whose parents were rated
among the"richones " in that section of coun
try. Her name was Ellen Goodridge' Pre.
vinus to leaving for the seat or war he inform,
ed her of his intentions, promising to return
in a few months. After the first battle uf
Bui! Run regiment was ordered to Washing,
ton, and receiving lieutenant's commission
Hendr.ck resolved to enter the service for
three jears, and wrote to his pareuts and
sweet heart to that effect. The news was re
ceived by the girl with foreboding, and abft
resolved to accompany him. She immediate*
lv acquainted her parents with hef resolve,
who, in reply, turned her from the house and
bade her never come back.
She went and finding out her lover,s reg*
ment,obtained permission to do the cooking,
at the Colonel's headquarters,
She followed the regimoat through thebst*
ties of Gettysburg, Antietam, Fredericksburg,
the Wilderness, Cold Harbor, Petcvburg,
and Richmond, and in the intervening time
went out wuh young Hendrick in many skir
mishes and raids, in one of which she was
wounded in the arm, the ball making a very
bad flesh wound After Lee surrendered, the
object of her choice was taken deathly aick,
and was forwarded in an ambulance to Wash'
ington, where he was placed in the hospital.
Here, agaiu, her noble heart showed itself.—
She watched over him, bathed his fevered
brow, real to him, wrote letters for him, and
on Thursday last, with a broken heart, closed
his eyes in death. The day before an Epis
copal minister joined the marriage hedyinr
wiih a painful disease and she nearly erased
with the thought that after four long yearaof
suffering, he for whom she had braved every
danger, had gone to another world.
The poor girl passed up on the Hudson
River Railroad, on Thursday, for ber home
in the far West, not knewing or caring what
sort of a reception awaited ber there.—

GOOD LI CK. —Some young men talk about
luck. Good luck was to get up at six o'clock
in the morning ; good luck,if you had only a
shilling n week, was to live upon eleven pence
and save a penny ; good luck was to trouble
your heads with your own business, ind to
let your neighbors alone ; good luck was to
fulfill the commandments and to do onto oth
er people as we wish them to do unto as.
I hey must plod and persevere. Pence muit
be talren care of, because thc*y were the seed*
of guineas, fo get on in the world they moit
take care of home, sweep their own doorwaya
clean, try and help other people, avoid tempt

HARDLY Kxtw You,— A maiden lady
residing in great seclusion, had not been to
church for several years ; but, on the acces
sion of a small property, she bought herself
a new bonnet, shawl, and dress, with the ap
proptiate glove®, boots, etc., and appeared on
the following Sabbath in a style which al
most destroyed her identity with the hither
to shabby and hopeless old maid.
Just as she was walking up the aisle, and
as every eye seemed to be turned upon fcer,
the choir commenced singing an anthem, tha
burden of which was ''Hallelujah 1 "Hallelu
jah!" The spinster retraced her atepadowa
the aisle in high dudgeon, exclaiming
"Hardly knew you," indeed 1 "Why, th a
is not the first the first time I've been t'.eaa
ed up.
"Hardly knew, you !" 1 guess I dun't
cotne here again very sooa I" ** r
