BACEELoR5 II rAEr-r

4 Dr.. stark, Of London, has Just
made known to the public a most
important fact, one Of vital interest
to Young men. After patient and
conclusive research, the practitioner
iii question. has aScertained that be-
tween the ages OF twenty years and
twenty five, the death rate Of hachc-
lorz is double that Of married men,
lii other words. eut uf every hundred
bachelors who aIe, fifty might have
avoided such a fate had they but
married in time.
Those who escape The deadly pcYiIs
which boset their early years, still
find the same fatal proportion
against them in the after life. The
statistical information produced 10y
DR.. Stark shows beyond a question
that between twenty-five and thirty
years Of age, the death rate with
bachelors is 1874 per thousand, where
as during the same period it is only
Sc among married men. Continuing
the comparison the English doctor
proves that between thirty and
thlty-tiye married men leave this
pleasant mundane sphere at the rate
of nine per thousand, whilst ~ is
the figure for the less fortunate
bachelors. Advancing in age the
huge difference in favor Of the bene-
diets is lcsscGed, Of course, but up 10
the last stage in life the bachelors
have the worst Of it, as according to
the tables Of DR.. Stark, the married
60 off at the rate Of %3.S per one
thousand, and the bachelors at 10 8
per one thousand.
Are not these statements startling
arguments in favor of welded bliss, /
and should not the philanthropic
obtain as speedily as possible copies
of DR.. Stark's book, and scafter them
about the club rooms and other |
places Of rendezvous for the misguid- |
ed Young men who are not aware !
that in remaining single they are /

A sailor by the green homeshore.
While seas are ebbing from his view,
Doth all his early joys renew;
He sings the song he sang Of yore
He spies his little cot he smiles
With full Joy ne'er felt before
He holds that one bare prospect more
Than all the Summer Of the isles.
The qnIet home is bis the trees
Sprans from the seeds his grandsires laid
Among the mold within the glade
The myftles rustic in the breeze,
Above treasured little grave,
His early lost his first deep wee
Not any land that he may know
Beyond the purple of the wave
Hath such jewel in its breast:
He loves each rock and stream AMI l-l!
It's only here he cares to dwell.

MY MOTHERS GRAVE.
BY GEORGE d. PRENTICE.

TIE trembling dewdrops fall
Upon the shutting flowers, like souls at rest
The stars shine glorously, and all
Save me are best.
Mother, Hove thy grave
The violet, with its blossoms blue and mild,
Waves DER Thy head. When will It wave
Above thy child
IT'S sweet flower yet mast
Its bright leaves to the morning tempest bow,
Dear mother, it's thine emblem dist
Is on thy brow.
And could love to die
To leave un,astea lfe's dark. bitter streams,
by thee, as erst in childhood, lie,
And share thy dreams.
And must finger here
To stain the pluAage of my sinless years,
And mourn the hopes Of childhood dear
With bitter tears.
Ave, must lnger here
lonely branch upon witherod tree,
Whose last frail leaf untmely sere
Went down with thee.
or from life's witherel bower
In still communion with the past turn
And muse on thee, the only flower
In memory's urn.
And when the evening pale
Bows like mourner on the dim, blue wave,
stray to hear the nigh. winds wall
Around thy grave.
. ~.ot'r-
Where 10 ..hhJ spirit nown2
gaze above thy look is imaged there
] listen, and thy gentle tone
Is on the air.
oh, come, while here press
Ny brow upon thy grave and in those mild
And thrilling tones Of tenderness,
Bless, bless thy child
