A Bachelors Eoonomy.-A Lakeville bachelor somewhat affected by the finan- cial panic of last fall, lately conceived the praisewerthy Idea of economizing in his wearing apparel, and commenced by wear ing out some old shirts, the bosoms of which were somewhat the worse for wear, He started out Monday morning carving his ideas into effect. During the day he buttoned up the article some fifteen times. and at evening retired, conscious that he had started well on his new career. The next day he buttoned the offending shirt bosom some twenty-five times and pinned it together twice. This was trying, but he consoled himself at the close of the day bv committing to memory passages from the book of Job, and reading poor Richards almanac. The third day he labored at that shirt severely buttoned it up about forty times. pinned it together ten times, and f. nally tied it together with string. During the night visions of shirts buttoned, shirts pinned and shirts tied together with strings passed through his feverish brain. In the morning the first thing that greeted his fe- yerish eyes was that shirt glaring at him with its fiendish mockery of buttons. It was too much for poor human nature and he threw up the sponge He says he is going to send it to the heather with his blessing. He says that if it don't bring all the original sin to the surface of the man that wears it he will take it back.
 P. S.-At last accounts our bachelor friend was busy answering matrimonial ad- vertisements. His troubles will soon be ended or renewed. Q.
