speech of zacharIah spicer.

On the question ''W hlch enjoys the
greatest amount of happiness, the bache-
lor or the married man ?''
Mr.. President and Gentlemen, rise to
advocate the cause of the married man
And why should not / claim to know
something about the institution-I do
Will any gentleman pretend 10 say l do
not? Let him accompany me home.
Let him confront with my wife and seven
teen small children, and decide.
High as. the Rocky Mountains tower
above the Mississippi Valley, does the
married man tower above that of the
bachelor. What was Adam before he
became acquainted with Eve? What but
poor, shiftless, helpless creature? ? No
more to be compared with his after self
than a mill-dam to the roaring cataract
of Niagara (Applause.)
Gentlemen, there was time, l blush
to say, when was a bachelor and a
more miserable creature you could hardly
expect to find Every day / toiled hard,
and at night l came homo to my comfort
less garret-nO carpet, no fire, no nothing.
Everything was in clutter, and in the
words of the poet
Confusion was monarch of all surveyed, >
Here lay pair of dirty pants, there
lay pair of dirty boots, there dirty
play bill, and there pile of dirty clothes.
What wonder took refuge at the earning
table and the bar room. found it would
never do, gentlemen, and in a lucky mo-
ment vowed to reform. Scarcely had the
promise left my lips, when knock was
heard at my door, and in came Susan
Simpkins after my dirty clothes.
''Mr. Spicer," says she, 81 have wash
ed for you six months, and havn't seen
the first red cent in the way of payment.
Now would like to know what you are
going to do about it."
felt in nay pocket book. There was
nothing in it, and knew it well enough.
''Miss Simpkins," said i, "Its no use
denying it, l haven't got the stamps, !
wish for your sake that had"
''Then," said she, promptly, 81 don't
wash another rag for you"
''Stop," said 1. t'Susan. will do the
best can for you. Greenbacks have
none but if my heart and hand viii do,
they are at your service"
''Are you in earnest :" says she, look
ing little suspicious.
''Never more So" says I.
'sThen," says she, Gas there seems to
be no prospect of getting my pay any
other way, guess I'll take up with your
offer''
''Enough," said L.
We were married in week; and what's
more, we haven't had cause to repent it.
No more attics for me, gentlemen. | live
in a good house, and have somebody to
mend my clothes. When was a poor,
miserable bachelor, gentlemen, used to
be as thin as a weasel. Now am as
plump as porker.
In conclusion, gentlemen, if you want
to be poor ragged fellow, without a coat
to your back or shoe to your feet if
you want to grow old before your time,
and as uncomfortably generally as hedge
hog rolled up the wrong way, l advise
you to remain a bachelor.
If you want to live decently and re-
specially get married. -
I have got ten daughters, gentlemen,
Overwhelming applause) and you may
have your pick.
Mr. Spicer sat down amid loud and
continued plaudits. The generous propo-
sal with which he concluded secured HIM
FIVE cons in law.

end or way, but to act that each to-rnor-

heart, though light and gay, stiA like
pleasant drums are beating wedding
marches all the way. In the worlds

roine-a wife. Trust no future, howe'er
pleasant, let the dead past bury its dead

and hope ahead! Lives of married folks
remind US we can live our lives as well,
and departing leave behind as such ex~
amples as shall t'tell !" such examples
that another, wasting time in idle sport,
forlorn unmarried brother, seeing, shall
take heart and court. Let Us. then, be
up and doing, with heart on triumph

THE PosEY COUNTY HORSE THE F.
Mr.. Gregory, of the firm of Duck
worth & Gregory, of Mt. Vernon,
and one of the owners of the
horse stolen on Tuesday, and recovered
in this city on Wednesday, came to
the city yesterday, and recovered the
horse, and took the thief to Mt. YER
non to await trial. As most of the
witnesses live here, Prosecuting At
torney Pearse desired to try the case
here at this term of the Common
Pleas Court, but for some reason, Mr..
Gregory preferred to take him back
to Mount Vernon.
This is manifestly the young mans
first attempt at horse stealing, and he
has made such miserable failure of
it, that it is not very probable that he
will make a second experiment until
he shall have gone to school at Jeffer-
sonville for two or three years. and
where he can, no doubt, fud finished
teachers.

all the day yesterday in the Court of
Common Pleas, and was closely con-
tested by the learned aud able coun-

tiffs allege in brief that Mrs. Cleary
held mortgage against the piano in
dispute, which, with other property,
if we mistake not, was, as they allege,
quietly shipped to this city. The pi-
ano was purchased by Sheriff Miller,
and is held by him, and this suit was
brought to recover possession under
the mortgage held by the plaintiffs.
