LEAP YEAR.-Lenp Year has "gore cleaning
among the things that were" No longer are lasses
allowed to ask the lass they like the best, to 700
and be wOood to marry and be given in marriage
or course very few improved the opportunities sane
toned by the past year-of course not. For what
young lady would ask young gentleman to marry
her-even when leap years come in succession, and
common usage gave them that right-not six in a
half dozen of them. No sir As we were homew ard
bound, the other evening, near the Presbyterian
Church, we were not a little amused at three of
those poor bachelor fellows, who were trying to sing
the following impressive lines
when remember all
The girls I've met together
feel like rooster in the fall
Exposed to every weather;
feel like one who treads alsne
Some barn yard all deserted,
Whose oats are fed-whose hens are dead,
And OF TO market carried
We pitied them-we did. Their day of grace
was over and they looked melancholy, and in their
melancholy they 'smiled"-so did we. The bache.
iors Of sunbury are worthy of attention from the
sisters Of charity, or anybody elses sister.
