The Wall of a Bachelor.

Under the very appropriate head Of Pleasant,
yet Mournful,' the editor of the Peru Republican,
thus condoles, in his review of the matrimonial
situation at PerrysbWg His doleful lament is
well calculated TO eulistthe sympathies of all his
friends. If he is still to be found wandering amid
the bleak and nhospitable regions of single
eussedaess,'' we know it is not frcm lack of re-
peated efforts upon his part to effect change of
base" Therefore we condole with him, and are
willing to soothe his anguish with the balm of cor
ISOLATION. Temporary relief may thus be assured,
but permanent cure cannot be effected without
the aid of bright eyes, sweet lips and loving
and compassionate heart. But hear him:
Almost weekly, for two or three months plst
we have read in the papers of Northwestern Ohio,
accounts of a" "heartren ling" epidemic which has
been prevailing to a fearful extent in the vicinity
OfPerrysburg, in that State, and which almest in
variably proved fatal The principal symptom of
the disease is said to have been papatinn of the
h cart and when person was once attacked that
delicate orgaa wOuld insist palpitating in the
most reckless manner imaginable. The disease
bafied the skin of medical practitioners Mrs.
WILLOWS Soothing Syrup was used in vain, and
even castor ell afforded no relief. But finally IN
ingenious Justice of the Peace, who had been
called To consult with IL couple of the afflicted,
said " Man and Wife to them, and presto, the
palpitau0n ceased, and the invalids resumed their
going about their respective avocatiOns as usual
they almost invariably commenced to gather up
such unoccuped " household traps" could be
found-such as a bedstead aud fixtures, a few
chairs, table, cooS-stove, crockery &C., to which,
in view of future contingencies" interested
friends usually added supply of soothing syrup,
worm can ", rattle-5oxes, &c. Atleast, such was
the idea We gained from what we read concerning
the matter; and finally, during recent brief re-
Taxation from the cares of print shop" we
visited Perrysburg to ascertain if ' these things
were So" and verify we found that " the half had
mot been told u.s."
0nmiking person6l Inquiries we learned that
the epidemic was ef the matrimonial persuasion,
and had ragged with unabated fury-and in
deed but few single persons in the vicinity of
Perrysburg seemed TO have sufficient moral cour-
age TO attempt any resistance to the " infection; "
and mary of those who had herocally resolved
never to say surrender, were speedily overpow-
cred aud led away captive. Thus, by the various
articles employed, nearly one hundred persons
were swept from the shores of single blessed
ness" in Wood county alone, during the month of
December. Then the disease gave evidence oi
abatement, when interesting parties speedily ar
ranged for discussion ofthe question
#" ResOtsea, 4hst every man is morally bound
ITO marry"
Whereupon some fifteen or twenty more of the
weak-kneed gertry incont;ReRtly and speedily sur
rendered. A. present however, the epidemic is in
state Of suspended animation" for want OF
subjects yet il is intmated that few OF our re-
naming friends there, who have thus far proved
- faithful among the faithless" will soon fall vic
tims tothe healfless destroyer.
While at Perrysburg, we experienced the
:" pleasant sadness" of meeting several of those
whom we gladly numbered among QUO esteemed
friends ere the % sere and yellow phases of mat
rimony had bhghted their lives and invaria-
bly found them laboring under the pleasant halla'
Ncinaton that they Were exceedingly happy. we
therefore made no effort TO remove the pressure,
4or Gift the veil, ;" but left them sweety dreaming
apparently "all unconscious of their misery.
Vet TO a susceptible nature, like ours, the thought
of what they must endure when they awaken to
realizing sense of their unhappy condition. is truly
agonizing-and we can therefore no longer dwell
on this unhappy subject, but hastily close this
item with the wish that our Perrysburg friends
who yet in the land Of the free" will patient
ly bear the few " ills they have" rather than fly
to those they know not Of"
