There was no burr Of gTasshoppers,
No chrp of any bird,
But the beating OF ny own heart
Was all the sound heard.

And % il grew still longer,

For | listened for n football,
I listened for word,
Rut the bee ting Of my own heart
Was all the seund l heard.
Nc came not-no, hc came not
The night came on alone;
The little stars sat one by one,
Each on his golden throne,
The evening air passed By my cheek,
The leaves above were stirred,
Bu, the beating Of my own heart,
Was oil the SQUAD hoard.
Ea., silent tears wero flowing,
When something stood behind,
A hand was on my shoulder,
knew its touch was kind.
I, drew me nearer,-nearsr,--
We did not speak one word,
For the beating Of our own hearts
Was all the sound We heard.

ATTENTION. SINGLE MEN Bachelors now can
breathe reer and deeper, for leap year has passed
by, and three years respite will be now enjoyed
by them from the assaults and Vaccinations OF
maidens medtating mairimony. The columns OF
our own paper have testified 10 the rapidity with
which our Young men have been taken off toward
the close of this evenfu year, Ia very Waterloo to
bachelors who have surrendered at discretion and
the remnant that have escaped may now congratu-
late each other--Or condole, as The case may be.
The Cholera and the California fever have lately
occupied the public mind-but previous to their adj
vent, getting married was the prevailing epidemic !;
disease for which no specific yet has proved
an adequate remedy, save the verdicts of two
special juries in Georgia
Rejoice, then, all We nveteraie adherers 10 single
cursedness, that leap year now is past and gone
leaving you still the privilege of clingng close to
your own selfishness-for great execution surely
has been done among the single men, and g the
voice of the turtle has been heard in the land"
We would not for the world insinuate that the
ladies' have exerted the privileges of leap year by
doing the courting, popping the question, and abbe
yialing love-making in that way-but the conci-
dence is curious that so many marriages should have
rendered this year memorable-it happening to be
leap year. The mischief is all done now, however,
and those who have let slip the lucky opportunity,
must put up their ringets in curl papers, and exer
else hope, faith aud charity for three years come,
when they probably may 50 have better luck next
time. -ColumbiG IS. c. Telegraph.
