Reuerits Of Bachelor. BY Tx. MARVEL. This
is beautifully printed volume, from the press of
Baker and Scribner. The first OF the sReveries',
originally published in the Southern Literary
Messen er, where it met with 30 much favor that
the author was led to deyelope the idea still further
and to present the result to the public in this very
agreeable form. Love and matrimony the sub
jects treated OF; and the bachelors reveries upon
them sometimes are given to US in the shape of fan
cful tales, of mingled pathos and humor, and some
times in quaint thoughts, queer analogies, and
graphic interpreted, one with another
in the authors peculiar style, and forming alto
gether "book of the heart" filled with matter of
most entertaining variety. 1t is embellished with
two handsome engravings.

ONE ROSE FROM HOIlE.
BY A wANDERER.

Ten years ago, standing on the point
of one of those elevations which so
magnificently mark that portion OF
country lying between the Black and
Caspian Seas, the novelty of a first
visit 10 this rugged region inspired Pc
cuiiar thoughts and emotions. The
dazzling brilliancy, of snow-crowned
summits-the mountain torrent chain
ed in its headlong descent-the rain
bow hues glittering from pendent ici-
cles-the thin, melancholy clouds sail
ing above-one and all, produced a
tain of contradictory feelings which
soon settled into gloom.
If winter, ruling in tanner scenes, is
emblemaiic OF those days when the
sickening soul exclaims, al have no
pleasure in them,n how much more
forcibly did this majestic solitude of
frost and snow portray the dreary win
ter of mans existence!
The rich lovely vale-oue of the few
that smiles amidst that rude landscape
Jay hid from view by dense fogs roll
ing midway along the mountains breast
giving to the stern, unrelenting fea-
lures Of nature, greater desolation.
"What" thought, awhat if roses
should suddenly spring up amongst
these Caucasian SHOWS! Would it not
be like the bright blossoms of mans
young hopes and anticipations, gleam-
ing through the retrospection Of years !!
Alas what are the pleasures of age !!
The pale snow-drop shooting up from
the frozen earth, is a type of the joys

Boston, for the Opera, shows that the goodpeople of
that city can be Athenans. They have fairly sur

the Opera. On EFriday night, the house was
crowded with the brilliancy Of beauty, and every
class of citizens seems 10 have We'd with each other,
10 enjoy the music of Lucia di Lammermoor."
We suppose it would not be possible for our hotels
TO create such excitement, and to give tone to
puclic opinion. The Boston hotels are not only the
best in the country, in their interior arrangements
for social ease and comfort, but the liberal pro-
prietors are the patrons, an extensive scale, of
literature, art and science. 1t will be many years
before New York can hope to exhibit, on the part of
its hotels, or of its citizens, such extraordinary pa
tronage of music as has been displayed in Boston
The annexed table, from the Mail, shows the path
to our despair of approaching such liberalty. We
attend the Opera with our hats on, for dollar, and
walk to the house, at that. Boston has surpassed
