He who said these days were 'melan.

and truly. Death and sorrow are united.
Man is not the only victim to the poisoned
arrow of the Pale King. Nature i, stung

by which to tell her anguish, her throes
are none the less poignant.
"All this is full Of suggestions. 1t is

onous apprehension into the heart. The
thoughts are subdued, like solemn rhymes
and mortal weaknesses become the more
apparent. The youth whispers to him
self along the highway, and the strong
man is troubled in the solicitude OF bis
chamber.
"And they who turned aside the dead
leaves of former autumn, to lay down
their coveted treasures, and leave them
there in silence, they have another sor-
row now. A year from the time of a
great woe, brings double sorrow to the
spirit. The anniversary of agrief is har.

THE BACHELOR,

crow OF happiness, who drives away the
little birds OF love that come to steal away
the hemlock seeds Of loneliness and des-
pair. Where is there more piiiable oh.
iect on earth than he who has no amiable
woman interested in his welfare? How
dismal does his desolate room appear
when he comes home at night, wet and
aungry. and finds cold hearth, barren
liable. and a lonely pillow. which looks
like the white urn oi every earthly en-
ioyment! See the sick old bachelor in the
dark afternoon OF life, when his heart is
sinking to its Sunderance! Not solitary
star of memory CLEANS over his opening
grave! No weeping wife 10 bend like all
angel over his dyinA bed! No fond daugh'

pressure OF hers, and warm his icy blood
with the revivifying fires oil unavailing af'
ffection. Nomanly boy 10 link his break
ing name with the golden chain OF honor
