To ".Jeems andI"

Mr.. Editor: feel very much inter
ested in Jeems and J." and l thought
| would ask them if they were not
bachelors. 1t seems to me that If they
were young men they might find part
ners, without much trouble; but bache-
lors always have to " gTOwl around
about women wearing "false tixins," be-
ing "false hearted" having stuck up
ways; and if they see them with new
dress, or new hat, they must 'spit out"
"extraVagance" at them, and snarl up
their nose at them, and content them
selves by saying al will never marry
such a spend thrift as she is, if she
would leave off some of them fiXments
about her, she might marry"
know the old bachel ors-they are the
worst fashiOn-haters in the world, they
despise to see the ladies wear the charm
ing s'Grecian bend tucked over skirts
and "double-breasted basks,' and if a
young lady wears a neat little fiat, or
becoming curls, they call 1t I" bark,
and say it looks OdiOus. II she wears
a "cork-heel gaiter" or the ''Grecian
slipper" they say she is pinching her
delicate little feet, and spelling her nat
uraI walk, Now girls, il you want to
bring the old bachelors to you, upon
their Bonded knees, to ask you to be-
come their wives, and go with them TO
their lonely bachelors hall' and there
reign as queen over their "rag-bOxes,'
ssOne-legged bed-steads" and few 9TH
er dreadful looking objects, just put on
a plain calico dress, twist up your hair
in q ''little wad" pin it up with a-and
wear a pair of brOgans shoes, then If
the sold bachelors" don't swarm around
you, they have been misrepresented to
me.
Now girls, will tell you of baehe-
lor that l heard of once. | called him
bachelor bHt you would not have
thought from his outward appearance,
that he was more than twenty-one or
two. He formed the acquaintance of a
beautiful yolng lady. She was educat-
ed and and accomplished, and he soon
made up his mind, to try to win her for
a bride. He proposed, she accepted,
the wedding day was set, and every
thing was moving on nice. But as kind
fortune would have it., just few days
before they were to be married, he ask
ed his lady love to join him in a skst-
ing party. She readily consented, and
away they went, little anticipating
what was to follow. They reached the
pond, put on their skates, but our bach
elOr friend was in such a way 10 show
his activity, that he started before his
skates were securely Iasleueu. ne Hau
glided but few feet, when she discov-
cred that he was falling. She caught
his arm, and of came his coat sleeve
Gas she thought) then she caught him
by the hair, with the hope OF saving him
/ from bursting his head, at least, when
to her great surprise she saved nothing
but toig, and splash went the man up
on the ice, and away went his glass eye,
he opened his mouth to hollow and out
I fel} his false teeth, and deplOrable
| looking sight he was, indeed. So girls,
| you see that men sometimes wear falls,
/ things as well as l5OBlGR.
Now If :" ,EeenS aud I = are not of tAis
class OF bachelors, il they are clear o.
such raise axenS do not indulge in in
| toxicating drinks, and are not fully
suited with Ne and Sal nor viii
simplicity" and are clear OF all the
bad habits alluded to by them, jus
whisper in their ears, to come over K
Arkansas, and my word for 1t, shey shall
be suited. Come on, lovers, come on.
