A BACHELORS LIFE.

A bachelors life is merry and free,
His heart is not shrouded with care
He has no children climbing his knee,
And squaliDg and crying out "Pa."
But his days roll on like pleasant dream,
And are calm as summers sky,
And serenely he glides down times hasty strean
Till the springs of his life are dry.
lie has no wife who uses sweet words,
Who calls him "my dear" and "my honey"
Who warbles her voice like the song Of the birds
Whcnever-she wants any money;
Who kisses and hugs him and says "my love,
want q new honnet and dress )"
And thus it goes on till the benedict finds
He has got in terrible mess.
But bachelors life is untrammeled and free,
AS the greatest of earthly kings;
While the married man must his wife obey,
And pack up and be off to the springs
And while the old bachelors laughing in glee,
And basking in pleasures smile,
The married man is called by voice
'My dear take care of this child"
Then the bachelors life is the life for me,
In this sorrow-clad sphere Of ours;
l wish to wander untrammeled and free
And taste earth's beautiful flowers.
Let others seek to repose in bliss
Meath the shade of the marriage tree;
But give me, in world like this,
A bachelors life so free.

To ASCERTAIN THE STATE OF THE LUNGS.
Persons desirous to ascertain the true state
of their lungs, are directed to draw in as
much breath as they conveniently can; they
are then to count as far as they are able, in
a slow and audible voice, without drawing
in more breath. The number of seconds
they can continue counting must be careful
ly observed; in consumptive the time does
not exceed ten, and is frequently less than
six seconds; in pleurisy and pneumonia it
ranges from nine to four seconds. When
the lungs are in sound condition, the time
will range as high as from twenty to thirty.
five seconds.

A STORY FROM MUNIcH.-The Courier
de Paris relates the following somewhat sim
gular and not very probable anecdote: "a
gentleman, walking through the Charles
Strasse, at Munich, and having on his arm a
large cloak, happened to stop opposite the
Office of the Monte. .de-Piete. he was imme-
diately accosted by woman-one, it appears,
of several who watch near those establish
ments at Munich for the purpose of gaining
triAing sum by pledging articles for persons
who feel ashamed of entering those places
themselves. 'Ah mein herr said the wo-
man, 'you do not like to go in there yourself,
and yet you perhaps wish to pledge your
cloak? Give it to me, I will get you good
sum on it, You will render me a SERVICE
replied the gentleman, after moments hes
itation; take the cloak, and I will wait here
until you return At the end of FIVE min
utes the woman returned and handed to the
gentleman ten forms, the sum lent on the
cloak. Thank you, my good woman said
the owner of the cloak, 'and now by way of
commission put these ten forms in your pock-
ct, and take these giving her eleven r,re,
'and redeem the cloak and pay the interest
"The woman was at loss to understand
all this, but she did as she was told, and on
her return, as she was handing over the cloak
to its owner, company of soldiers passed by,
who presented arms to the gentleman, whom
the astonished woman then found was no
other than King Louis. On his return to
the palace his Majesty sentfor his tailor, and
rated him soundly for charging eighty forms
for cloak on which he could only borrow
ten FORMS"

CHARLES DICKENS on HoRsEs.-I OBJ.
ject to the personal appearance Of the horse.
1 protest against the conventional idea of
beauty as attached to that animal. I think
his nose too long, his forehead too low, and
his legs (except in the case of a cart horse)
ridiculously thin, by comparison with the
size of his body. Again, considering how
big an animal he is, I Iobject to the contempt
ible delicacy of his constitution. Is he not
the sickliest creature in creation? ? Does any
child catch cold as easily as horse? Does
he not sprain his fetlock, for all his appear
auces of strength, as easily as I sprain my
ankle ? Furthermore, to take him from an
other point of view, what helpless wretch
he is! No fine lady requires more constant
waiting on than horse. Other animals can
make their own toilette; he must have a
groom. You will tell me that this is because
We want to make his coat look artifcially
glossy. Glossy! come home with me, and
see my cat-my clever cat, who can groom
herself! Look at your own dog see how the
intelligent creature curry-combs himself with
his own honest teeth Then, again, what
fool the horse is-what poor nervous fool !
He will start at piece of white paper in
the road, as if it were lion. His one idea,
when he hears a noise he is not accustomed
to, is to run away from it. What do you
say to those two common Instances Of the
sense and courage of this absurdly over
praised animal? I might multiply them by
two hundred, if 1 chose to exert my mind
and waste my breath, which I can never do.
I prefer coming at once to my last charge a.
gainst the horse, which is the most serious of
all, because it affects his moral character. I
accuse him boldly, in his capacity Of servant
to man, of~slyness and treachery. I brand
him publicly, no matter how mild he may
look about the eyes, or how sleek he may be
about the coat, as systematic betrayer,
whenever he can get the chance, of the con-.
idence reposed in him.

A New MoyE.-Awriter in the Raleie

A NEW MovE.-Awriter in the Raleigh
Standard proposes as remedy for the hard
times, that the merchants Of Raleigh stay at
home next spring and not go North, binding
themselves to one another in writing not to
order anything except groceries. He says
the prices North will be high, and the good
effect of not increasing their liabilities at
this time will be felt for years to come:-
Next fall (says the writer) let the merchants
go North with the cash, buy their goods,
and they and their customers will he better
off. No doubt of it. % .:SsS,, :
