The Old Bachelor.
BY JOSH BILLINGS.

A chronick old bacheloriz invariably
ov the neuter gender, don't care how
much he may offer tew bet that it aint
so.
They are like dried apples on a
string-want a good soaking before
they will do to use.
suppose there il sum of them who
have good excuse for their nuterness;
many of them are too stingy to marry.
This IL one of the best excuses | kno
ov, for a stingy man aint fit tew have
nice woman.
Some old bachelors git after a flirt,
and kant travel so fast as she doz, and
then konkludes awl the female group
are hard to ketch. and good for moth
ing when they are ketched.
A fiirt is rough thing to overhaul
unless the right dog gets after her, and
then they are the easiest ov awl to
ketch, and often make very best ov
wives.
When flirt really falls in love, she
liz as powerless as mown daily.
Her impudence then changes into
modesty, her cunning into fear. her
spurs into a halter, her pruning hook
into cradle.
The best way tew ketch flirt il tew
travel the other way from which they
are going or sit down on the ground
and whistle some lively tune till the
firt comes round.
Old bachelors make the firts, and
then the flirts get more than even by
making the old bachelors.
A majority of the hirts git married
finally, for they have great quantity
of the most dainty titbits of woman's
natur, and alwus hav shrewdness to
back up their sweetness.
Flirts don't deal in poetry and water
grewel; they hev got tew hav brains,
or else somebody would trade them out
of their capital at the fust sweap.
Disappointed luv must ov course be
all on one side, and this aint emmy more
excuse for being all old bachelor than
it is for man to quit awl kinds of
manual labor, jist out of spite, and jine
a poorhouse bekause he kant lift tun
at one pop.
An old bachelor will brag about his
freedom to you, his relief from anxiety,
his independence. This is a dead
beat past resurrection, for everybody
knows their aint more anxious dupe
than he il. All his dreams are char
coal sketches of boarding-school mis-
ses; he dresses, greases his hair, paints
his grizzly mustach, cultivates bunyons
and corns, tew please his captains, the
wimmen, and only gets LATED at for his
pains.
1 tried being an old bachelor till l
waz about twenty years old, and came
very near dieing dozen times. had
more sharp pain in one year than hav
had since. put it all in heap. | was
in lively fever all the time.
There is only one person who has IN
habited this world thus far that 1 think
could have been an old bachelor and
done the subject justice, and he was
Adam; but l hold it is every mans
duty to seleckt partner and keep the
dance hot.

an orphan, she was engaged to be mar

herself to cabin built on the top of a

THE "soUL-wREsTLERs T"

From among the Molokani have aris-
en- the Dukobortsi or soul-wrestlers,
who hold that the Dukhoborets is God,
and cannot sin. but the non-Dukhobo-
rets is radically wicked-all that he
does. even what appears to be good, is
sin" One of their characteristics is
"the remarkable handsome forms both
of men and women, aud the health and
strength they display" This is partly
to be accounted for by the fact that
they put to death every child that is
delicate or deformed. "The SOUL"
they say, "being the likeness of God,
must dwell in worthy, noble and Wig
orous body. If we find it in a weak
and poor one, we are bound to free it
from its ignoble prison; it then chooses
for itself, according to the law of the
transmigration of souls, another and
better body" Such child murders
gives little pain to their parents, for
their theory is that "the soul, the image
of God, recognizes no earthly father
or mother" and that "there is only
one father, the totality of God, who
lives in every individual; and one
mother, universal matter of nature,
the earth" Consequently, the Dukho-
bortsi never call their parents "father"
or mother" but only "old man" and
"old woman and a parent does not
speak of "my" children, but of "ours,"
meaning the communities. The career
of the great chief of the Dukhobortsi,
Kapustin by name, had something in
common with that of John of Leyden.
He must have been no common man,
who, although merely an uncultivated
Russian peasant" was able to create,
and maintain for several years, ga COM
plete theocratic State, comprising A.
600 persons-a platonic Utophia found
ed upon religious, Christian, and Gnos-
tic principles" 1t was near the Sea
of Azof that the Dukhobortsi settled,
and there Kapustin, who had persuaded
them that the sonl of Christ dwelt in
his body, ruled them despotically. In
1874 he was imprisoned, but he was
soon liberated on bail. After time
he disappeared, and it was not till long
after he was dead that the cave in which |
he had spent the last years of his life
became known to the public. After
his death the colony fell into disorder.
The Council of Elders which ruled it
became terrible inquisitional tribun-
al" Torture and death followed close
upon the slightest sign Of an intention
to 60 over to the Russian Church.
within few years about two hundred
