BACHELORS HALL.

Bachelors hall! what queer looking place it is
kapc me from such all the days OF my life;
fure, but think what bulnin' disgrace it is,
Never at all to be getting wife.
See the old bachelor. gloomy and sad enough,
Placing his taykittlc over the fire.
Soon it tips overs st. Patrick! he's mad enough,
or be we're prescnU to Gsut with the squire.
Now, like Il hog in mortar bed wallowing.
Awkward enough see him kncading his dou9 9h,
Troth, if the bread he could ate without swallow
ing.
How it would favor his palate you know.
His dish cloth is missing-the pigs are devour-
ing it.
Ia the pursuit he has broken his shin;
\ plate wanted washing-the cat is securing it;
Thunder and turf, what pickle hc's in,
Pots dishes and pans. such greasy commodities,
Ashes and pralie skins kiver the floor;
His cupboard S storehousc Of comical oddities,
Things that had never been neishbors before.
His meal being over, the tables lett sitting SO;
Dishes take care OF yourselves if you can,
But hunger returns, then he's foaming an! fret
ting SO.
Och let him alone for q baste OF q man.
Late in the night he goes 10 bed shivevin',
Never u bit is the bed made at all;
lie creeps like "a terrapin under the kiverin',
Bad luck TO the picture of Il bachelors hall.

Howit was Done....A Queer Speech.

The Senatorial contest in Pennsy ylvania, re-
cutting in the election Of Simon Cameron,
continues to excite public interest. The edi.
tor Of the Lancaster Intelhgencer who was
present at Harrisburg when the Caucus was
held, thus states the result of his observation
touching this party Of moral IDEAS"
"Outslde in the rotunda, there was gather
ed quite crowd anxiously awaiting the an
nouucemen, of the result which had already
Leen settled beforehand. Among these were
a number Of prominent Philadelphia politc-
ians oflbe Radical persuasion, all Curtin men.
Two Of them was boisterously indignant.
Ooe Of the men, ex clerk Of the Quarter Ses'
Aous, made iuuning speech ln a loud
clear voice, be began as follows:
Bring me bel l say, somebody bring
me bell. There is an auction going on here
and intend to cry it. The Republican party
professes TO be party of great moral ideas,
and boasts that i, stepped the sale of negroes
but here is Il sale OF white men going on in
the Capitol of tue Keystone State. Some-
body bring me a bell. Talk about Republican,
ism, and love for soldiers, aud patriotism!
Why such a party deserves to be damned.
The men sent to the Legislature are only fiji
for the bases, uses Yet they are the pick Of
three hundred thousand. Bal! The worst
thing the Copperheads ever said are not bad
enough. These scoundrels profsss to be vot
ing for Cameron. l. is 2 lie. will show
you the ticket they are voting. Here (pul.
ling a greenbsck out of his pocket and bold.
ing il up) here is the ticket they are all voting
and the candidates name is written on it
-Spinner-by Cd. That's the fellow they
are all voting for, and this (lourishing the
greenback) is their ticket.
"He held forth for some time, amid the
forced laughter Of The crowd, no one daring
to contradict him, or say one word in favor

Curious REsULr.-1he present condition
Of The country leads TO some curious results
A short time ago the acting Governor Of
Virginia made reqnistion upon the Gov

trial Of person who had committed an Of

Gov Fenton, Radical though be is, prompt

culp:it attempts to stay proceedings on the
ground that Virginia is foreign State, with
which we have no extrsdtion treaty. The joke
is that, while Fenton, as a politician, says Vir-
gnia is out Of the Union, as Governor he
says she is not ont. Such Inconsistency
however, is in perfect keeping with the char
actcr Of Radical politicians. They declared

CAUSE AND EFFECT There is distress in

building business; there is distress in the ag
ricullural districts; ten States that have been
desoIa.ed aud impoverished by war, have
been kept out Of their natural relations in
the Union? never was there so much poverty
and vice and wretchedness and crime in the
country as now. Since the 4lh Of March,
1861. tie Republican porty has had the
control of the Federal Government. 1t has
shaped It's legislation and disbursed its funds.
As effect follows cause inevitably, may we
not conclude that most all our business and
political ills are traceable TO the incumbency
of the Republican party? Is it not response

BACONSBURG.

BAcoSsBURG, June 6, 1867.
Ed. CHRoSIcLE:-The great cause Of
Temperance Is moving onward in and
about this place. Beside the Union Tenn
perance League, we have an organization
Of the Good Templars, that bids fair for
success and usefulness. Mr.. Slade, ESQ.,,
of Cleveland, lectured on Wednesday
night last to US on the subject of Temper
ance, and on Thursday night he lectured
on heIoism. He had good audiences, and
held the peoples attention admirably on
both evenings. Mr.. Slade speaks from
experience as well as theory, being a re-
formed drunkard. He is a fluent, forcible
and effective speaker, and highly deserves
the kind attention and support of all the
friends of temperance. His lecture on
Heroism is a good thing. rich in variety,
historic fact, ~virtuous character, moral
frmness and high toned excellence in the
history os man and woman, evineing taste
and skill in arrangement, as well as extern
sive reading and lsborious research. This
great cause needs more advocates. We
need more discussion. The people need
more light. If the people could see the
evils concomltant with the liquor traffic
the remedy would soon be applied. Could
they see the enormous taxation upon them
through and by this unhallowed business,
they would soon clamor for relief. 1t
costs more to sustain the drunkard making
business, than the whole expenses of our
general government. ALLOPATH.
