THE BACHELORS LAMENT

They tell me to hasten, and marry.
y But ah! It's the cost that fear;
And prudence still warns me to larry,
Ere seeking amusement so dear.
Oh! there's rapture unmeasured in wooing,
And sweet the confession when won;
But the housekeeping horrors, pursuing,
Are sure to make sentiment run.
Thus unused t'other night as fair Chloe
Swan round in the dance at my side:
| must furnish that wardrobe so snowy,
If rashly l make her my bride
That slim, fairy foot, and its fellow,
That tread the light measure SO gay,
Must with satin be shod, and prunella.
And husband the piper must pay.
At glance Of that ANGLE so slender
My heart the dear bargain would close;
When my hand bids me, ere surrender,
Remember the price of the hose.
That hand so desired beyond measure,
The sutton, that ventures to held,
Can only secure such a treasure
BY hopping the fingers with gold.
Those eyes, though their vision surpasses
The eagles that pierces the light,
Must be aided with opera. glasses,
Howeer they embarrass the sight.
Though made up of roses thy face is
Such roses bloom not in the sun;
We must veil them in the best of point laces,
Or freckles will soon overrun.
Sweetest mouth that e'er smiled upon mortal,
Hides organs of hunger within;
And danties must pass the red portal,
Or soon cherry lips will grow thin.
All! that charms so desired by lover
Have duties so costly assigned
That the pearls, which thy smiles now uncover,
The choice Of the market must grind!
Thy form richest fabrics must cumber
With many garment of show;
And with doubtless CT others a number
That bachelors never may know.
Thy brow the fair temple where flowers
High honor in marble enshrned,
Must be matched with straw, feathers and flowers,
To keep out the sun and the wind.
Thy care must be constantly petting
With rarest cosmetics thy face
Thy nose be INDUCED in coquetting
With 'kerchiefs bewildered with lace.
Those tresses, ensnaring allurers,
With illets of gold must we bind;
Thy ears must be fed with bravuras.
And hung with the jewels of Ind
Strange! that man should embellish creature
Already more fair than the morn,
That the being most gifted by Nature
Is the one we most love to adorn.
Why was Eden so pleasant to Adam
So rid of connubal ills!
Because his ingenious madam
Ne'er bored him with milliners' bills.
No bonnets had she for her tresses-
No silks did her person enroll;
So cheap were her costliest dresses,
For a fig one had purchased the whole.
All! that was the season to marry,
Ere fashion made woman her thrall,
Her trumpery garments to carry
Yes! clothes are the cause Of the fall!

After famine had greatly ,hinned their number,
and each succeeding day rendered their case more
hopeless, providence opened way for the escape
of some of the devoted party. 1t was IN the TALL
season, in the night, that an attempt at escape was
made. During a heavy shower, favored by the
darkness of the night the most resoutc OF the par
ty rushed from the fort, and crowding upon their
opponents, made their way to the river. During
the rush friend and foe could not be distinguished,
and number of the Illini seized upon the canoes
oftheir opponents and pushed down the stream
Tn ,se that remained were butchered without
mercy, and strong party pursued those who t"ok
to the canoes As fast as any were overtaken
hy their relentless f es they were killed, and the
chase was continued as far as st. Louis, where
the pursuers asccrained that some Ia or ID war
riors had passed by. That now famous city of
the West then belonged to Spain, and waathe re-
sidence of the Govern or "lntendant' OF the
Spanish dominions Of the North. This parsonage
had great deal Of influence with the Indians
and he persuaded the pursuers to return home
and leave those who had passed the place 10 their
fate. The small remnant of the once powerful
tribe of the Illini thus saved, settled down near
the mouth Of the Kaskaska river and it is now
generally understood they joined and their postc-
rty are mixed up with the tribe known as the
Kaskasias, of which tribe hut four or five are now
in existence.

corous spirit existing-thosc who may, perhaps,
have received lille more education than others,
warning against their neighbors because they dono
pursue their course, submit to tier dctaton, and

Of such nature as is calculated to destroy all
interests but their own BY such course, two
distinct and separate states Of society are formed

LIME

In the Geological Appendix to Cleave-
lands Mineralogy, it is stated that in the
,alluvial region of North Carolina bed
of limestone and shells commences about
20 or 80 miles from the border of the pri-
milive formation i to which il runs paral-
lei, through South Carolina, Georgia, &c"
The border Of this primitive formation
crosses the rivers near the first falls; that
is, ool far above Fayetteville, Cheraw,
Camden, Columbia, 6cc., aud Of course
the bed of shells aud limestone referred to
by Professor CleaveIand runs nearly par
allel with a line drawn through these
towns and about Tor more probably as we
suppose) somewhat more than 80 miles be-
low. To the great reproach of the States
through which this bed runs, little has been
ascerlained as 10 its purity, or lis extent
or depth. A specimen from the neighbor
hood of Darlington c. H. was analysed
By the late DR.. Cooper and found to be
mari; but the extent of the bed is not
known. About 20 miles below Darlington
C. H., near Jetlries' Creek, where it is
crossed by the road leading 10 Georgetown,
is bed Of limestone, which, by burning,
furnishes lime that answers for mortar. In
other parts Of Marion District, on the same
side of the river, limestone has been found,
and the Pee Dee runs across several beds
of il between the mouth of Jetfries's Greek
and The mouth of Lynches Creek.
These facts would seem 10 indicate that
lime may be obtained so near the Pee Dee
as TO be available for manure on lands near
the river. The reason why the beds of
limestone referred to have not hitherto at
tracted more attention is, that the value Of
lime as manure is not understood by our
planters. We have not turned their al
tenlion to it ourselves because we were not
aware, until recently, that the beds were
as extensive as We now learn they are.
We shall, henceforll, from time TO time,
occupy some space in OUT columns with the
subject. This week we give one article Of
some length and Two shorter ones contain
inS facts suited 10 inquirers.
The same he'd Of limestone and perhaps
mari, may doubtless be found on the San.
lee and Cape Fear, as well as probably on
Lyuches Greek, Little Pee Dee and
Drowning Creek.

THE BONE BUSINESS.

Some people would like to know the
nature Of This business, and perhaps, when
told. it will be as much matter Of surprise
to them, as it was when FIRST communica.
ted 10 US. Certain old men, women and
children may be seen daily in all parts OF
the city gathering up old bones. This
branch Of business started about four years
since, aud gives employment TO hundreds,
aImos, thousands Of poor people in Phila-
delphia. Many ofthem are able TO earn
from fifty cents TO one dollar each day by
these small gatherings by the way side,
and thus save themselves and their chill
dren from want, or perhaps The peniten,ia-
ry. In this county there are several large
establishments where these bones are pur
chased. One in Moyamensing pays out
more than one hundred dollars each week
for these apparently worthless materials,
gatherd in every part ofPhiIadelphia.
Bones gathered up in this way, and
from such sources one could hardly iniag-
inc are Of any value. But the variety oe
purposes to which they are put, shows in
political economy that nothing is literally
worthless. The bones are assorted and
each particular kind is pu, TO a specific
purpose. Some are made into ncai's fuo,
oil. Others are sold to knife and umbrella
makers, while another portion is used by
comb, brush aud button manufacturers
Many Of them are used in The manufacture
of blackiug and Printers ink, and by su-
gar retiners. Even the tallow chandler
and manufacturer of soap is indebted 10
these bones for his success. The bone
dust which is made from the refuge part,
is purchased by farmers, and greatly tends
10 enrich the soil.
The purposes for which bones are used
are almost innumerablc. Such is the de-
mand for them in Europe, that the field
Of Waterloo was thoroughly examined and
every thing remaining Of poor humanity
there. which could be obtained, has been
garncred up. In our own country, the
value of this article is beginning to he esli.
mated for agricultural purposes. and in all
the various departments of business, both
of utility and ornament, they constitute an
important aud valuable species Of mer-
chandise. NORTH Imer.
