THE BACHELORS BRIDAL.

THE BACHEBOR'S BRIDAL.
Not a laugh was hearI-not a joyous note;
As our friend to the bridal was buried;
Not wit discharged his farewell shot
At bachelor just to be married.
We married him quickly to save his fright;
Our heads from the sad sight turning,
And we sighed, as we stood by the lamps dim light,
To think he was no more DISCERNING
To think that bachelor free and BRIGHT
And shy Of the girls found him;
Should here by tho altar at the dead of night,
Be caught in the snare that bound him.
Few and short were The words we said,
Tho we heartily eat Of the cakes,
Then escorted him home from that scene of dread,
And thought how awfuy he shakes.
We thought, as we halIowed his lowIy bed;
OF the beach, the birch and the willow;
How the shovel and brocmstick would break Ger
his head,
And the tears he wo uld shed on his pillow.
Says he, ''they will talk Of their friend who has
gone.
And every old bach will upbrad me,
But nothing Ill reck if they'll let me sleep on
Meath the coverlet just as they've laid me-"
But half Of. our heavy task was done,
Ere the clock tol'd the hour for the other,
And left with the hope that the fate he had won
Would never be won by another.
Slowly and sadly we marched down
From the top Of the uppermost story,
And we never have heard from or seen the poor
Whom We left not alone in his glory. w.

marks in regard TO change in the present
Tariff We are glad to see this '=..jiid
avowal, because there are other parts of
the country III Which factories and mills
have been stopped, and thousands of
workmen have been thrown out of en-
ployment where politicians are still blind
enough to uphold the doctrine that no
protection is necessary:
We perceive that certain alterations,
in our present tariff are urged, and " e
have no doubt, that i'll some respects,
the interests of the country require them.
Now is a favorable period to give this
important subject consideration. The
late exciting questions before Congress
having been disposed of, the acrimony
they occasioned has, i'll a great measure
subsided, aud left, happily, spirit OF
candor and kindness in the place of
ascerbity and jealousy The Tariff ques-
ton is one which should be Withdrawn
from the political arena-it is too mo-
mentous to be made foot ball of for
trading gpoliticians-the business interests
of our cilizens shonld. at all times, re-
ceive prompt attention. impartial and
careful examination by Congress which
the pecuniary well being of the people
demands If certain features in the pre-
sent tariff require amendment we hope
Congress will approach and perform the
duty with liberal and conciliatory disposi-
tion-a disposition to ascertain the i'm
perfecrions Of the system, and determi-
nation to do all in its power to remedy
the evils without regard to local or party
preiudices Let our revenue system be
adjusted upon sound aud jud;cious priaci-
ples-principles which experience has
nointed on. as best, and then let it remain
as permanent as anything subject to

A New WAY TO GER RID OF WIFE.
The following story, which we find in
the Detroit Tribune, shows the difficulty
and danger of Keeping up double char
acter:
We announced in the Tribune Of Sat
urday that Dr. Bassett was drowned from
the Southernor on her way from Cleve-
laud to Detroit. We did it OH good au-
thority, but it now seems there is little
romance In the story, and DIR. Basset Is
still alive aud kicking.
The facts, as they are related to us. are
as follows: A gentleman came on board
OF the Southernor and purchased tick
ct for himself. calling his name Morse.
The clerk gave him state-room and told
him he should be compelled to put anoth-
er man In the room with him. All salts
factorily Mr.. Morse was very inditter-
emily dressed. In very short time
person very genteely dressed called for
a ticket under the name of DR.. Bassett.
The clerk gave him berth in the state
room with Mr. Morse.
On the passage up the story was start
ed by Morse that Dr. Bassett had fallen
overheard while in the act of vomiting.
All credited it. After a few moments
the captain came to the conclusion that
it was singular that no other person than
Mr.. Morse saw the accident, and some
surmised foul play
Dr. Bassel's baggage was looked for
in his room, but nothing but an old rus
set leather valise, with Ills name on 1t.
could be found. This appeared rather
singular for so genteel a traveller. who
at least would require a change of linen.
Thus matters remained until after the
boats arrival at our wharf, and Mrs.
Bassett was teiegra phed that she was a
widow.
On reviewing the whole circumstance,
it was concluded that Mr. Morse ought
to I've arrested and an investigation had.
Accordingly, warrant was obtained and
an officer took charge of him. MIR.
Morse and DR.. Bassett, from the story Of
the prisoner, are one and the same man,
and the unfortunate plo: was a strata
gem to rid himself of his wife at the
East. He tells the story thus: When
he got the ticket he wore an old suit
As soon as he got the key to his state
room he entered at once. and placed upon
his person another suit of clothes and a
pair of false whiskers, and went to the
Clerk for another ticket, as DR.. Bussett,
which he says is his real name. The
drowning scene was got up for the East
ern market, where he has wife, and
desired it for home consumption.
But here again is the dilemma. The
doctor is stranger here. aud the last
we heard from him he had not been able
to prove that he was himself, or, in other
words, that he was the indentical Dr..
Bassett. ami the police still hold him a
prisoner, until lie can make satisfactory
evidence that Dr. Bassett is not now Il
drowned man in Lake Erie.
