I BACHELoRs.--Whe honest Benedict vowed
| that he never would marry, he little thought .hat
he should ever have an opportunity of taking q
wife, and therefore, when one was presented, he
considered a recanation no crime and therefore,
he--wedded. When Major Noah, that laughter
loving genius, who presides over the New York
Enquirer, resided in the Barbary Stites, he saw so
much Of the infdelity of the rascally Turks that
one day paroxysm OF DISCUS, he swore by the
beard Of Mahomet, the Koran, and his 1dimui
that he would not wed the farest she, i'll the whole
Seraglo Of the G and Seignor, ever take TO him
sell the iarest Jewess in IL Christendom. Many
long year, has the Major sat by his fireside and
listened TO the signing Of fssoi.ary tea tile, aud
the purrnss Of his cat but ut last he has repent
ed and like honest Benedict, considers recanta-
tion 90 crime. IN fact the Major is going TO get
married and thus he ayows his intention to :he
world
7arine Bactelors.-I was not at the meeting of
Bachelors on Friday evening, but perceive that ]
anl on the committee to protest against the passage
OF the law. connot serve and feel that have
had the honour of watching over the interests Of
bachelors rather too long, and have therefore come
to the determination of at once declaring my inten-
tons to marry, and thus the standard of re-
heon against the whole fraternity, tois riribuS.
The fact is, this bachelors life, is a vagabond kind
of life, after all Is said IN Its praise II is IN the long
end, taking pointers and ponies, fresh bottle OF
champaign and a long rubber Of whist, more ex-
pensve than married one that Is # you get reu-
sonable wife besides on serious reflection. there
no pre.crihing limits to this taxing system en-
once fairly under way; this year the Bachelors
may take place o! the dogs-next year they may be
compelled to aid in the c,eation oi fund to sup
port old maids, aud If war should break out, the
bachelors must DO all the Fl i,h.mg then, on the
other hand ifthis" SINGLE blessednes.' as 1t call.

hsious people to indulge too much in them: So

Liowev r hereby renounce all alleSi adhe-

lor life and am resolved before Gen. M'Cure's
bill goes into effect, TO defeat the provisions o the
law by swearing to "iove, honour and obey

in Newark can testify"
The above article was drawn from Major Noah,
by The following circumstance. During the present
session OF the New York Legislature, a bill was in
troouced by General vi Clure, to remove the dos
tax, and put the old bachelors. The annuncia-
ten OF the fact, set the bachelors in motion, and
they instantly called meeting the fraternity, 10
memuralize the Legislature ON the subject, and 10
protest against the measure. Major Noah, was APP
pointei one of the Comm itee to draw up protest,
but a lie had already aado uf h,s u.,na 20 marry,
he declined, will be seen by the artiAe, having
anything to do with the suCject.
