The POor Bachelor.

Where is there more pitiable object
on earth than a man who has no amiable
woman interested in his welfarel How
dismal does his disconsolate room appear
when he comes home at night, weary
and hungry, and sees barren table and
lonely pillow, which looks like the
white urn Of every earthly enjoyment.
See the old bachelor in the dark after
noon Of life, when his heart is sinking in
its sunderance Not solitary memory
CLEANS over his opening grave. No
weeping wife to bend like a comforting
angel over his dying pillow, and wipe
the desfh-damp from his brow. No fond
daughter to draw his chilly hand into
the soft pressure Of here, and warm bis
icy blood with reviving fires Of affection.
No manly boy to link his breaking name
with the golden chain Of honorable soei-
ETY., and bind his history in the vast vol
umes Of the world he Is leaving forever.
He has eaten, and drank, and died, and
earth is glad to get rid of him; for he
had little else to do than to cram his soul
into the circumference Of a sixpence, and
no human being save his washerwoman
will breath a sigh at his funeral.

FROM WAYNE COUNTY.


MoNucEto, X. April %, 1873
We are crestfallon. We now ac-
knowledge we're no profit, for, hardly
had the ink dried on our last commune
cation, when an untimely frost nipped in
the bud both our hopes and our fruit.
On the night Of the 25th killing frost
destroyed the entire crop of early fruit,
peaches, apples, cherries, pears, and all.
1t is not putting it too low to say, there
is none left. The weather still continues
cold. We we're treated to quite lively
storm last Friday.
Hon. j. 5. Chrisman addressed mass
meeting of the citizens of Wayne at the
courthouse, yesterday, upon the subject
of the Cincinnati Southern railway. His
speech was able, Eloquent, and effective.
lie seems quite satisfied that We will get
the road. After his speech was con-
cluded, he passed around the fright Of
way donation books. The following
land-holders in Wane gave the right Of
way: w. ]. kindrick, 7. Hatchett, NJ.
ID. Sloan, John Duncan ~ Bro, james
Jones'. Arminda Kelly, William Simp-
son, Peter Marshall. Thomas Eads, l..
A. Lanier, 5. Duncan, and Jas. Rankin.
The following are the donations up TO
the present writing; w. j. kindrick,
$500; N. /. Buster, NJ. p. Sallee, $500
each; Cosby Oats, Oats Bros, j. c.
u j. d. Ingram, =. A. Lanier, and j.
S. Christman, 500 each L. M. Jones,
J. b. Kindrick, Jonathan Tuggle, A.
w. Campbell, II. M. Sallee, Henry Huf
faker, John Tuggle, and J. j. Sloan,
$50 each; j. Berry, Thomas McBeath,
DR.. ]. B. S. Frisbie, Frank COfey, j.
NJ. Morris, james Ingram, and II. w.
Tuttle, s2l,each; A. Rankin, Sr., John
Dick, J. L. Sallee, |. N. Shepherd, j.
W. Tuttle, and Wesley Hutfaker, $40
each-making a total Of $1,000. This
accomplished in few minutes, not more
than a hundredth part of the people Of
the county being present.
By this it is easily seen that Wayne
will not only give the right of way, but
handsome donation in the bargain.
The people are deeply interested in thu
subject of the railroad, and in full sym
pathy with Cincinnati's noble enterprise
Hon. J. S. Chrisman is still engaged il
securing grants of the right of way and
soliciting donations. We always did
have a good opinion of Waynes good
sense, energy, and liberality, but she haI
far exceeded even our expectations
and that is putting it pretty high.

IIohr from that time had authority TO
leave the lines when he chose, and to
fight in his own way. They even placed
under his orders few men, to accom-
pany him on his expeditions. He al
ways exercised great care and prudence
in making preparations for his little ex-
petitions, and always first to rush into
the onset, he exposed his own life thou
sand times before he brought his com
panions into the engagement. Usually
he sot out alone in the fog, with gun
upon his back, a revolver at his side,
and bare saber thrust through his belt.
Along the hedges, through the fields, in
the bottom of bitches, he glided, crept
on all fours, piercing the darkness with
his eyes, stopping at sound of the least
noise, and then continuing his way.
Now and then he would put his ear TO
the ground and listen. A tree, a broken
branch, stone, traces of steps upon the
grass-each was useful to him, each
served as an index to direct his move
ments. Thus he would approach the
onemy's lines, and observe them at leis.
ure. Sometimes he was heard. "Wer
ddf the sentinel would challenge. "Gn
Frerndr he would reply, and immedi-
stely leap his hiding-place, fall, saber in
hand, upon the surprised German, and,
with one-yell-aimed blow, would cleave
both helmet and head Saber-strokes do
not make much noise.
One day, upon the Strasburg road, be-
tween Nogent and Neuilly-sur-Mane,
two Of the enemy's cavalry were recon-
noitering. Accidentally Hof was look
ing for luck in the same place. At the
sound of footsteps he jumped behind a
paling, drew his saber, and waited. One
of the uhlans dismounted, and, leaving
his horse in the charge of his comrade,
went forward. One by one the uhlan
availed himself of the shelter of the
trees along the road, moving onward.
bending forward in listening attitude
We can form some idea of his terror
when he all at once saw, only three steps
in the grass. two glaring eyes gazing at
him. Without giving him time to re-
cover himself, Hof fell upon lin, killed
him outright, and then ran to the other
eavalryman, who, holding the reins in
his hands and attempting in vain to de-
fend himself, was quickly dispatched.
The two horses set off at a gallop. Hoa
has always regretted their loss.

Personal Matters.

Some of our friends express surprise
that personal explanations through news
papers should be charged for as adver-
tisements. We admit the impression
has gotten abroad that newspapers have
nothing to do but to take up peoples
grievances and set them right before the
public. We are also painfully cognizant
of the fact-one that most people over
look-that nearly all editors are depend
ent upon their papers for support and
that people should no more expect them
to render free services of their means of
living than lawyer or physician should
render professional services without a
consideration. We take it that when a
man goes into print to explain personal
matter, he expects to be benefited by
the explanation; and he should no more
expect free benefit from an editor than
from any other professional man. Some
argue that certain personal matters make
interesting items for newspapers. This
is all true, but most editors are capable
of writing up all items that they think
it would be in good taste for them to
publish, and they never look upon per-
sonal card as an item of news, but as q
matter of business. The same rule holds
good fox extended obituary and marriage
notices in-fact, for all items or ar
ticles that are supposed to be of particu-
lar benefit to those that write them. If
Jones publishes a card in the papers that
he sells goods cheaper than Smith, il
does not devolve upon us or any other
editor to set Smith right by publishing
free statement to the contrary. And,
if one man slander another, the Sian
dered one can not expect the newspapers
to take up his fight and publish his
statements for nothing, any more than
he can expect doctor to treat him for
nothing when he is sick. We hope the
day may soon come when ths rights Of
newspapers are better understood. When
that day arrives, fewer editors will starve.

In the course Of a sermon delivered
recently by Mr.. Beecher, he referred to
the subject of humbling ones self before
God. 81 beseech you" said he, 'to
avoid that kind of crawling, that pros
tration that takes the manhood out of a
man. | don't think that God wants to
have any man crawl before him like
worm. do Mt think He is any more
pleased to sec that than you would be to
see your children act so. | have little
dog at the farm that, when ! come home,
is so exceedingly glad that he lies down
and squirms and rolls over on his back,
so that | want to kick him. That same
dog, although so ahectionate, will steal
chickens. Now, a dog don't know any
better, but man does; and it seems to
me as if men think that il they humble
themselves before God and say all man
ner of erouching things, that will fit
them for the work. There is no manli-
ness in this"

Oh, wealthy, toil-vom merchant,
With oyer-busy brain,
While pouring DER thy ledger tH
And counting los and gain,
When tradesmen are complaining,
And money : very tight"

BE careful what you write.
And you, excited lover,
Whose heart wells o'er with signs,
Whose brain is dazed with gazing
In a pair Of roguish eye
II you re impcllel by Cupid

When you start 10 pen your thoughts,

Who sets for you her cap;
Should she n letter send YOU
Which fills you with delight,
When you essay an answer,

And let me caution thee, too,
Thou man of passions strong,
When you are writhing under

And longing TO demolish
Your adversary quite

BE careful what you write.
And thou, oh busybody,

But il you d escape a lawsuit.

Develops scenes and incidents
Which thrill thy fellow men;

Control thy fancy's fight;
Say nothing which may foster sin
BE careful what you write
The memory Of idle words
Perhaps may pass away
The evil they engcnder
BE forgotten in day;
But once in print they may appear,
Some guileless soul to blight,
When YOU have moldered into dust.
Then be careful what you write.
