What an Old Maid Thinks About 1t.
From the Syracuse Courier.

II CyIacuse courier.
5 1t does make me laugh, and / can't
help II, and heal married people pity old
maids, never thinking for one moment
how an old mail might pity the married
women.
Oh, no! 4
Poor soul, she hasn't any children.
Poor dear, she hasn't any husband.
It's so very, very sad.
OF course it is, POLITICALLY speaking, but
don't you ever pity a woman for not
marrying until you are quite sure what
kind of u man she hasn't married.
= I've known n broken engagement or
two that really were objects of congratu-
latiOn.
There isn't any other time when a
woman feels SO like feeling of her shout
der blades to see whether the wings have
sprouted as when she has slipped the
wrong mans ring of her finger and feels
that she'll never bear the brurt of his
hateful temper or put up with his neg
lect or grow old before her time because
OF his uhfaitl1fulness-when she stands
free and ready for the right mar to come
along. .ssgls
L suppose n woman never feels quite
certain that the right man would como
in all her life. g .r
However. we're talking of old maids
and the people who pity them.
1t is all very well to get poetical over
married life and set single women down
rs miserable creatures; but, like most
theories, the 1.-THE thing wont wash"
If you get an adoring husband, ready
to cherish and protect you while life lasts.
YOU'RE certainly a happy woInan;
but how many do? One out of fifty, per
haps. f sgrf< +.t.l Epe E.-rv h
It's a lottery with a few lucky numbers,
and even an old maid dOsen't bitterly en-
w a woman with Il mean, or, 4 quarrel
some, or a neglectful husband-a woman.
who is left alone with all her cares, u wo-
man who is Il slave, not u wite-nOr even
always all that falls to the lot OF the best
loved wife OF earth.
There is peace and rest to life when
one is ones OWN mistress, ut all events.
When | hear WORKOUT, worried matrOnS
plying simple women often feel like
laughing, it is so funny. 9f11G0Tr

MEMPHIS, IENN., May l, 1851
Business in financial circles for the
past week was exceedingly quiet and
devoid of animation. Aside from the
regular routine Of local checking and de-
posting there was nothing doing. To
day being the first checking and depos-
iting was active, but beyond that there
was no animation in banking circles.
Currency continues in good supply, with
the banks readily discounting all accept
able paper offering at lO9l2 = cent. .
annum; streets rates on short loans rule
at ll924 = cent 3 month. Exchange
remains quiet and steady, with the sup
ply about equal to the demand, as follows:
Buying on New York and Eastern points
at &c discount and selling at tc pre-.
MUM; on New Orleans, buying at fc dis
count and selling at par. Brokers are
paying llla@llli for gold, with little
Offering. Scrips and bonds Of every de-
scription remain dull and nominally uu-
changed, with no transactions worthy of
note.

COTTON.

The market this morning opened dull
and nominal, The depression in the New
Yerk and Liverpool markets had a cor
responding effect here, hence transAc-
tons were limited. Offerings we're fair,
with & light inquiry. Estimated sales
for the day, 500 bales; sales Saturday,
100. New York spots we're dull and
heavy, with futures higher, but easier.
Liverpool spots we're easier, but not
Quotable lower, with arrivals offering
l.S2d lower. New Orleans was quiet.
