Bachelors Fare.

Funny and free are a bachelor reveries,
Cheerily, merrily, passes his life
Nothing knows he of connubial devilries,
Clamorous children and troublesome wife.
Free from safety, care and anxiety,
Charms in variety fall to his share;
Bachelors blisses and Venus's kisses
This boys, this is bachelors's fare!
A wife like a canister chatterng. gathering.
Tied to a dog for his torment and dread
All bespattering humping and battering,
Hurries and worries him till he is dead:
Old ones are two devils haunted with blue
devils,
Young ones are new devils raising despair;
Doctors and nurses combining their curses,
Adieu to full purses and bachelors fare ]!
Thro' such folly days once sweet holidays
Soon are embittered by wrangling and strife;
Wives change jolly days to melancholy days,
All perplexing and vexing ones life;
Children are riotous, maidservants fly at US,
Nanny to quiet us growls like a bear
Polly is squalling, and Molly is bawling,
While dad is recalling the bachelors fare!
When they are older grown, then they are boil
der grown,
firing your temper and spurnng your rule;
Girls through foolishness, passion or mulishness
Parry your wishes and marry fool
Boys will anticipate, lavish and dissipate
All that yonr busy pate has boarded with care
Then tell what jolity, fun or frivolity
Equals in jollity bachelors fare!

ANOTHER VAMPIRE LooSE.-Not long
since the community on the Consumes,
were excited at an abominablc case of rape,
said to have been committed by John A.
Benson, on the person of young girl IA
years of age. Benson was tried, convicted
in Sacramento, and sentenced to the State
prison but Benson was rich, worth $780,
900, and he appealed to the Supreme
Court. That moral institution decided
that the evidence of the girl was not suff-
cient, it must be corroborated by other
testimony thing not very probable in
such affairs. The case was remanded to
the Court below for new trial. On Mon
day the time came on no prosecuting wit
ness was present; whereupon the District
Attorney moved a nole prosequi, which the
Court admitted and the defendant dis
charged Now, where were the witnesses
of this case !? why did not the State have
them there? 1t was said they had run of,
and could not be found. The Sheriff did
not put the witnesses under bail because
he presumed them interested. Now, what
is the inference? Why, simply that Ben
son. being rich, has bought off the wit
ncsses. Indeed, we have been informed,
on good authority, that $4,000 were offered
