has turned out an excess over last

Old Maids and Old Bachelors.

Rural New Yorker.l
Old maids are useful. They can
cook, sew and take care of children,
nurse sick people, and generally play
the piano. Old bachelors are useless.
They do not even know how to drive
nails or split wood.
Old maids are amiable. If one wants
any thing done hat requires patience
and kindness of heart, a.single lady is
sure to be the one to do it.
Old bachelors are ill-natured. They
snub children, despise babies and hate
young mothers, and are always so
busily employed in seeing that other
people take good care of them that
they have not a moment to give to any
one else.
Old maids are nice looking, and
young for their years Old bache.
Tors generally have red noses, rheu-
matism in their knees, baldheads, and
mouths that turn down at the corners.
Old maids can make a home of one
little room, and cook delicious meals
for one over the gas-jet in cunning lit
tie tin-kettles, besides making all
their own wardrobes. Old bachelors
need an army of t%ailors, walters,
cooks, distant relatives and hotel land
lords to keep them comfortable, When
old maids are i'll they tie up their
heads in pocket handkerchiefs, take
homeopathic pellets out Of two bottles.
alternately, and get we'll again. When
old bachelors are i'll they go to bed
and send for four doctors; have a con-
%sultation a mantel-piece full of black
bottles; all the amiable married men
who belong to the club to sit up with
them at night; besides a hired nurse :;
they telegraph to their relations, and
do their best to impress the world
with the dea hal they are dying.
When an old maid travels she takes
a Sandwich, a piece of pound-cake, a
bottle Of lemonade in a hand basket,
and lunches comfortably In the car
riage. When an old bachelor travels
he orders a dinner in course at the
station, and raves because he has not
time to eat it before the " fifteen min
utes for refreshments are over.
Old maids drink weak tea aud it
cures their headaches.
Old bachelors drink strong liauor.
which gives them headaches.
Old maids are modest they think
their youth is over and their beauty
gene, If, after a while, some autum.
nal love Is given them, they take il as
a sort of miracle, and hope people will
not laugh at them for marrying so
late in life
Qlld bachelors believe that all women
are in l9ye with them, aud that they
must carefully guard themselves from
traps laia 70 iRyoiele them lnta .@atri-
mohY. They alsQ fondly cherish the
belief that should they eventually
become married men the world ex-
poets them to exhibit great taste in
women by their choice, and that tha
" other fellows W;p laugh IL theiF
partiuN bs noy tender youth and
beauty also, that when they marry
many women will expire of ie2lausy.
