The farmers' vindicator. (Jackson, Miss.) 1873-1???, 1874-06-12
For the Farmers Vindicator.
BACHELORS.

-'~AeSS s'S~At
ing the home spun period, from whic
even the freedmen are exempt, Mis-
Bessie, perhaps, has felt sure that il
the present Grange movement, nov
SO popular, the feminine representa-
ton there has received a mutual anC
enlightened interchange, which is per
manent, and which amply compensate
practically, pleasantly and pecuniarily
for Miss Tabitha's grievous privation,
and for dismissal of loom and such
things from womans career and per.
formance.. If Miss Bessie is Granger,
and she doubtless is, she feels willing
to challenge investigation on this ques
ton. 1t may reasonably be surmised
she is calculating to fall back for de.
Tense upon the chivalry Of her brother
Changers, even to vindicate the priv.
lege of abuse. Like favorites that
advance their pride against the power
that bred it" making severe test Of
gallantry, which is unwarrantable.
While Miss Tabitha respects bachelors,
Miss Bessie, for the same reason de-
tests and mathematics them. Here
their territories dovetail. Bachelors
haven't many apologists, but they are
an Independent folk. They evidently
appropriate the fattering JUNCTION which
the world accords, and which is con-
veyed in the tribute of selection of
their condition. If they, in their ques-
tionings ever feel the insutficiency of
this panacea, where will "Duke Hum
phrey unfold his grief" Bachelor fare
may be grudging. The crippled chair,
spoutless urn, solitary spoon, are the
indices that bachelor is yet master of
the situation. Gray locks, grizzled
physiognomies, are not to be deplored.
The bachelor is lord of all he surveys.
If Miss Bessie was free from the charge
Of begging the question, she cannot
claim to have promulgated any thing
new or startling. There can be no
classification made which will include
generic specimens or species of bach
elors. They are as different, essential
ly, the one from the other, as are the
influences which decide their destiny. |
1t might perhaps be an interesting is
sue, to subject to crucible how near
many married men come to being bach
elors, and if SO, whose fault would it
have been? 1t cannot be denied, in
the face of facts, that Outlines bur.
den of INDECENT relatives, at the aus.
picious moment, have become the noun
tain that turned mans face away
from the hopeful prospect, and led his
destiny down the solitary path which
would never have been his election.
Bachelofdom is not alwaysselfinficted.
Perhaps the father of his country mar
rowly escaped it. Certain it is, that
he was the life long debtor for much
good and valuable intercourse to one
who was bachelor, not from lack of
purpose, or energy, Or industry, but
rom conspicuous Inconsistency in wo-
nan. President Tyler was confirm :
d bachelor when he became possessed .
# an attachment for the woman he
made his wife, which lasted the resi-
Iue of his life. OF some it can be
aid, their works follow them. So,
need not be without cheer.
But Miss Bessie should be consistent.
f they are so despicable, she should
ever have Joined the Grange, for they
ravitate toward Oranges, and "evil
communications corrupt, etc." That
ew subscriber she is counting upon
