The fighting editor of Mississippi paper
tells an co. err true tale" on himself, thereby ia
king the wind out of the sails of those of
his confreres who might have an itching to tell
it on him. Says he: Il went up to great
strapping. two-fsted countryman who owed me
some money, and seemed in no hurry to lqui-
date, and persuaded in my own mind that he
wouldn't fight, told him pintedly that if he
did not shell out instanter would wallop him.
The fellow was scared, and probably thought |
was sure enough going to knock him into the
middle of next week He was awful scared
to much SO to even run away-and so he blazed
away, with one of his huge fists, and knocked
me down! The trouble was, in this affair,
scared the fellow too bad, and the lick he struck
me was directed by fear-at all events it was a
fearful blow -

The Bachelors Soliloquy.

To we'd or not to wed That is the question
Whether its as we'll, for lone Bach. to suffer,
All the peculiarities of single life,
Or, take loving damsel to the parsons,
And stand the consequences? To eat, to sleep,
No more? Aye, there is much more
Even the thousand unnatural bonnets,
Besides all the responsibilities
That flesh is heir to. IT'S consummation
Which won't pay expenses. To eat, to sleep
To sleep! Perchance to wake-aye, there's the
Rub For in that sleep, so-called, what squalls
May come when we have shuffied off our single
Blessedness to get scolding wife, that's what S
The matter-What makes us leave interesting
Widows; For who would bear an old bachelor S
Woes, maidenly revenge 0hecoquette's deviltry)
The pangs of despised love. your own delay,
Certain hints from the old folks. and the spurns
That patient merit at last gets-from the girl !
When he might his storekeeper please
By getting married? Who would beget jokes
And nothing ese--by sngle-distressedness,
But that dread of something-or other
In the state of nlatrInony (from whose bourne
No bachelor returns1 ties the tongue,
ssAnd make US rather bear the ills we have
Than fly to others We know not OFF,
Thus conscience doth make Us bachelors all brave
And thu. the native hue-of greenness-
Ripens to the golden luster of rich thought,
And airtations of great pith, in the single
Barrel Of life go down, and thence may pop
But never touch the question.

CUT THIS OUT.-The Mercantile Times gives
the following seasonable rules for young meu
commencing business.
The world estimates men by their success In
life-and, by general consent success is evidence
of superiority.
Never, under any circumstances, assume a
responsibility you can avoid consistently with
your duty to yourself and Others
Base all your actions upon princi pie ofright;
preserve your integrity of character, and, In
doing this, never reckon the cost.
Remember that selfinterest is more likely to
warp your judgment than all other circumstances
combined; therefore, look well to your duty,
when your interest is concerned.
Never make money at the expense of your
reputation.
Be neither lavish or niggardly; of the two,
avoid the latter. A mean man is universally
despised. but public favor is stepping stone
to Observation-Disclosures generous feelings
should be cultivated
Say but little-think much-and do more.
Let your expenses be such as to leave a
balance in your pocket. Ready money is friend
In need.
Keep clear of the law; for, even if you gain
your case, you are generally loser of money
Avoid borrowing and lending
Wine drinking and cigar smoking are bad
habits. They impair the mind and pocket, and
lead to waste OF time.
Never relate your mlsfortunes, and never
grieve over what you cannot prevent.
