'The Old Bachelor's' C6mplaint.',..
Through all my life I've sought a wife,
And courted many maids.:-
For hearts ; l've sued and many wooed,
Of different types and grades;
And scores I've won,but now I'm done,
For all of youth has fled—
I'd not be bound to one I've fotid,
And so I've never wed.
If you'd , know why the reason I
Still walk Life's path, alone, '
Please lend an ear and you shall hear
How youth's wild oats were sown,
When very young. I heard it sung
That earth no greater prize
Contained for man—,by ffeaven plan'd--
Than woman's loving eyes:
Here I'll annex, that women's, sex,
I worship and adore ;
Awake, it seems, or in my dreams,
Her presence haunts me more.
Sweet solitude, and vernal wood,
Remind me of her still—
Fresh burns the flame, and. each sweet
name
Or face awakes a thrill.
When buts boy I loved to toy
With little maiden's curls :
Each learnod page I used to gage
By what it said of girls.
The Bible read with puzzled head,
How evil we should shun,
Yet how the good, for whom God stood;
Could act like Solomon.
And, little fool, while yet at school,
I'd many a dear sweetheart;
Seine little Miss would own the bliss
Of,Cupid's,early smart.
The Lizzie Rays and Annie Mays.
• Who then I thought .1.1. - wed,
Are women now-each van worn brow
Tells of the mlrried or tfie dead.
Though long since. grown, nokonu would
own
the flame of early`days,
And I at last haVe onward Famed
On fairer forms to gaze.
In youthhood warm I felt the charm
Of many a rosy maid,
But could not find one to my mind.
And did the, noose evade.
And I have spent, in discontent,
A joyless life unblest,
No woman true, as heaven's blue,
I've folded to my breast !,
bit now I'm old, and growing cold,
Earth binds me by no tie ;
No child I leave, nor wife to grieve,
And miss me when,l die.
But !ill thy 'rtice l facies frim the feee.
Of nll the,beanteous earth;
0 I - raise a titOne'when I am gone,
To bear my name and birth. /
Without a isrife,/ , a useless life,
No oue-,will care I'm dead ;
So go, ye youth, in love,' and truth,
And ivho, and win, and wed.

"My young friend, I observe that you
have used several French expressions in
your' article. I think if you will study
the Eriglish language, that you will find
it capable of "eipressing all •the ideas
that you may have. I have always found
'it so, and all that I have written Ido
not•jecall an instance when I was temp
tedito use a foreign word, but that, on
searching, I found a better one in my
own language.
"Be simple, unaffected, bid honest in
your speaking and writing.' Never use
a long word when a short one will do.
Call a spade not a well-known oblong
instrument of manual industry ; let a
home be a home, not a place of resi
,dence ; a pled() 'a place, not a locality,
and so of the rest. Where a short word
willi'do,'you , always lose by using a long
01301 Yon lose in 'Clearness, you lose in
hodest expression of men who are com
petent to judge, yea lose in reputation
for lability.
'The only true way to shine even in
this 4itlie World, is to 'be modest and un
assniiiing. Falsehood may be a thick
crust, 'but Truth in the course of time
Wiillfibd`a place=to break through. El

"Write Much as ' - you Would speak;
speak as you think. If your inferior,

perior, speak no finer. Be what you
eat and Within the rulee of prudence.
