months their cribs shall be full to overflow ing-besides an armful for their friends. It grieves us beyond expression, to find that Miss Des Arc is devoid of all those endear-
 ing qualities, so characteristic of the COW, when she wishes to attract and protect her calf. The maternal zeal and enthusiasm with which she inserts the projections of her oc- cipit or frontal bones into the bread tray of the unsuspecting pig, who thoughtlessly wan ders near her young. We are as much sur prised however as grieved, for the amount of bellowing kept UP by Miss Des Arc, was suf fcient to attract young elephant from the region of our antipodes.
 Our antiquated Bachelor friend, who Miss Des Arc advises to put broken hoops around his head, wishes the experiment tried. He has sneaking idea of committing matrimo- ny and does not know how hoops feel, and he desires to give them full trial for at some future day, he thinks probable, barrel hoops and slaves may be applied in summary man. ner, to different portions of his body.
 The Reptile Bachelors, who sun themselves in the fence corners. are still confident that at some future day they can crawl into the hearts of some unsuspecting female unless her heart is like tha. of the catfish and mt of our acquaintaEces, in the head.
 Our neighbor. who dyes his hair, thinks it far better that he should dye it than that it should die itself.
 With these few and simple suggestions, we will leave Miss Des Arc and your honorable self, Mir. Editor,-hoping the sand and grav- e contained in her heart, may spend itself as heretofore, in ink; that it may not cut the tender flores enclosing the holy place. their domicil, and, let it drop like too many do into a pair of new heeled gaiters.
 Yours exultingly, WATTENSAW.

 Mir. EDIroR: We were much gratihed to find. by your paper, that we had convinced some fair maid that she was leading very "stale and unproftable course of terrestial existence, and had induced her to try to choose from the numerous. stable and highly Interesting horde of bachelors which infesl our region of country-a proper mate. Al the same time we were very much surprised that the ones who were so much honored, as to be noticed and advertised in our Hard scrabble Papers," did not seem to be the one orones that she felt disposed to love, honor 1 and obey, and to cherish through chills, fever and hopping cough. Imprimis-with regard 10 my individual self, for I was the first her shafts were directed against-she objects to me solely because the hairs on top of my head are
 Like angel visits, few and far between;"
 In other words, the shaper of our ends has so ordained it that should be barefooted on top or my head. We are very sorry to see that Miss Des Arc has shown us, in such broad and mistakabIe terms, that she is not lov- sr of the intellectual It was probably lapsns penne ;'' for, had she considered for moment, she would have felt convinced that lae badness was caused by the workings Of mighty brain.
