A CRusrY ONr.-The editor Of the Hagers-
town News, himself an old bachelor. says:
-" Nothing can prevent an increase Of bach
elorism save an amendment in the mode OF
educating women. When they learn COM
mon sense instead of broken Ere nch, when
they learn some useful employment instead OF
beating the piano-when they learn to prefer
honest industry to silly coxcombry. and when
men find that a woman is a helpmate instead
Of burthen. then We expect to find fewer
bachelors--not till then"
