 BY SIGMA.
 I'm cut out 10 be an Old Bachelor-it must he Here l am-let's see-six, seven, nine- and-twenty, and not married yet! Ive done courting enough to have been married doz- en tunes, but-must l say it--I q,erer c0uh pop the question! Some how or other, 1've got the organ for courting pretty fully developed, but that for popping the question is sadly de- iclent, while al! the world knows, or the girls do, at least, that I've tried hard enough to, cultivate it. No longer ago than last eve hing, took walk with Sarah -, round Franklin Square. The weather was delight tui sarah was in fine spirits, and every thing was in the most lovely mood. Now,. thought l. my time has ,come-I shall be married at last. l was determined at all events to pop the question before I went home. Our conversation changed from gay 10 grave, from grave to agreeable, from that to tender, and the soft notes oflove in its most welcome form, were being breathed into q no-"iSc unwilling ear, when" Loco loco matches, three for ftp; fathers dead; goti no mother; do buy 'urn, sir!'' was yelled out by ragged little urchin with his match basket before him. "Go"-I stopped Sa- lr"h was on my arm, and she is as tendcr- hearted as sue is lovely. It would not do. E must treat the little fellow kindly, so threw him flip, and walked on.

"kecp, your matches, my good little fellow" said l, "keep your matches."- "Thank'e, sir. Loco-foeo matches, three fora iip-who1l buy?" And off he went in search of some more tractable customer. walked on, disconcerted; Sarah was evil dently waiting for me to renew the subject so abruptly broken of, but had lost my place. We walked on some distance, before could bring myself to again touch the deli- cate theme. Atlength made another trial. We had now reached one of the more retir- cd streets. No one was near enough to inter- rupt mo, and I thought should at last suc- cecd. lspoke of the joys of domestic life, of the pleasures of quiet little home where the cares of the world entered not, and where much loved friends could enjoy the sweets of each others society. The arm of my will ling listener gently pressed my own, and tho cup of bliss seemed already at my lips, when news-boy turned the corner of the street. "Genlus, to-morrow's Genus-buy Genius, sir!' and half-a-doZen "Little Gcniuses'' were held up before us. It was too much for the patience, even of Job. kicked the boy, Geniuses and all, into an Oyster Cellar that chanced to be open. "Oh how cruel come. let us go home," said Sarah I saw my error when too late. l could offer no ex- cusc, either for my rash act, or for prolong- ing the walk We crossed the street, and n few minutes found us nt - Place. Sa- rah's manner was cold and distant. and--and here I am, no nearer being married than was twenty years ago. Pm cut out to be an l old bachelor--it must be.
 Philadelphia Messenger. ! MRs. NOTABLE, OR NINETEEN PLATEFULs. | . AN AMUSING SKETCH. My dear," said Mrs. Green 10 her hus- band one morning, "the meal which we bor- rowcd from Mr. Black, some time ago, is al- most out, and we must bake tomorrow"
 "Well," replied the husband, "send and borrow half a bushel at MT. Whites, he seEt 10 mill yesterday" ..
 "And when it comes shall we return tho peck we borrowed more than month ago of the Widow Gray?"
 "No," said the husband gruflly; she can send for it when she wants it. John, do you go down 10 Mr. Browns, and ask him to lend me his axe 10 chop some wood this forenoon l; ours is dull. and saw him grinding his last night. And James, do you go to Mr.. Ciark's, and ask him to lend me hammer and do you hear? you may as well borrow q few nails, while you are about it,"
 little boy now enters and says, "Father sent mo to ask you if you have done with his hoe, which you borrowed a week ago last Wednesday; he wants to use it'
 "Wants his hoe, child! What can he want with it? l have not half done with it yct-but if he wants it, suppose he must have it. Tell him 10 send it back though, as soon us he can spare it." They sat down to breakfast. "Oh Ia 2" eXclaims Mrs. Creen, "thore is not parti- | cle of butter in the house. James, run over to Mrs. Notable's-she always has excellent butter in her dairy and ask her to lend me plnteful." Alier few minutes James returns. "Mrs. Notable says she has sent you the butter. but hcgs you to remember that she has already lent you nineteen patefuis which are scored on the dairy door,"
 "Ninetecn patefnls" 1" exclaimed the asto- nishcd Mrs. Green. holding up both hands "i is no such thing-I never had half the quantity and if had, what is a little plate tuI! should never think of keeping an ac- count of such a triiling affair. l declare. have n great mind never to borrow any thing from that mean creature again, as long as iivc."-Ibid.
