AN INDIAN SoDoM.-An interest,
ing pamphlet has just been published
by Mr.. Bellasis, collector of Hydera-
bad, in Scinde, containing an account
of his examinations and discoveries
on the site of the ancient city of Brah'
minabad, on a branch of the old bed
of the Indus. Tradition afirms that
the city-the capital Of a Hindoo kingr
dom % which the tide Of Mahomedan
invasion had scarcely penetrated-Was
destroyed by fire from heaven and by
earthquake, on account of the wick
edness of Its rulers. The investigaa
lions of Mr.. Bellasis seem TO prove
that the place really was destroyed by
some terrible CONFUSION of nature,
which probably at the same time com
pletelv changed the course Of the In
dus. On no other supposition a a
ruin be accounted for at once so sud-
den and so complete. Skeletons were
found in every house that was opened
and in the streets, some crouched tor
gether and there buried; others crushr
ed fat by a falling weight, the pieces
Of stone or brick still in some cases
buried in the fractured skull. Numel
rous coin, end other yaIuabIes have all
ready been discovered, carved figures
in ivory, engravings on cornelian and
agate, a set Of ivory chessman, and the
like. The figures carved on objects
connected with religious worship are
Buddhist. From the fact of their be-
ing unmutilated, Mr.. Bellasis consid'
ers it clear that the iconoclostic Nus
suIman invaders had not reached, or
at least had not permanently annexed
Braminabad at the time of its destruc'
lion, which he ~conceives to have been
about A. d. 1920.

A Bachelors Defence.

An unmarried editor wards of the
thrusts made by his more fortunate
brethren in the following style
Bachelors are styled by married
men who have put their foot into it, as
only half perfected beings, cherries
vagabonds, but half pair Of shears,
and many other cuttlcs are given
them; while on the other hand they
extol their own state as one of such
perfect bliss, that a change from earth
to heaven would be somewhat of a
doubtful good. If they are so happy,
why don't they enjoy their happiness,
and hold their tongues about it,
What do half the men get married
for! Simply that they may have
somebody to darn their stockings,
sew buttons on their shirts, and tror
the babies; that they may have some
body, as a married man once said "to
pull off their boots when they are q
little balmy." These fellows are al
ways talking ofthe loneliness of bach
elors. Loneliness, indeed Who is
petted to death by the ladies with
marriagGable daughters9--inyited to
tea and to evening parties, and told to
drop in just when it is convenient?--
the bachelor. Who lives in clover all
his days, and when he dies has dow-
ers strewn on his grave by all the
girls who could mt entrap him9-the
bachelor. Who strews flowers on the
married mans grave!--his widow?-
not bit Of it; she pulls down the
tombstone that six weeks grief has
set up in her heart, and goes and gets
married again, she does. Who goes
to bed early because time hangs heavy
on his hands!-the married man.
Who gets a scolding for picking ouI
the sottest side of the bed, and for wa
king up the baby when he turns out
in the morning9-thc married man.
VINO has wood to split, houSe-hun ting
and marketing to do, the young ones
to wash, and lazy servant girls to look
afterl--the married man. Who is ia.
