Bachelorship is luxnary; certain we are
Old Bachelors themselves are no such mat
ter. AS for taxing them, we doubt if that
would be just; for it is not often their own
fault that they are bachelors. 1t is generally
an involuntary penance, and all the luxury
that attends it is not to be envied. Where
is the bachelor of thirty or upwards, who
has not received at least dozen reflections,
or flats as they are technically called? If
an exception can befound, il is because the
gentlemanIhad not the courage to make pro-
posals of matrimony. An old bachelor has
usually been either too ssheepish' to WOO
lady, or too little attractive to win one
And yet these odities have the efTontery to
insinuate that they would not get married,
because they could not find wife to their
taste!

But pant for licence while they spurn control,
And shout for rights with rapine in their soul

And all the pye-bald polity that reigns
In free confusion o'er Columbia's plains?
