A Letter from LnkeNIIIe.

Editor NetrS:-In the recent columns of your paper Nil Desperandum, Vir- ginia and Tie Douleureux have opened a critical tirade on half score of bache- lors all of this village and all because they absolutely refuse to marry, or it is thought they refuse because they do not marry.
 l am 3 and 70 years of age, with a white moustache and no side whiskeT, and were 1t not for the yum yum of Nil Desperandum, the cant of Virginia aud the philosophy of Tie DouleureuX l could now have established their Llen. tily as married men, with a promising of spring masquerading as independent men and entertaining solicitous re- gard for the well-beiug of those who choose celibacy as the next best substi- ute for matrimony.
 Of late the bachelors here have had
 hard time of it, whether from spite or
 rancor, love or friendship, I will not
 undertake to say. Shots were first
 directed at them from the pulpit and
 now they are addressed through the
 press. am neither eulogizing nor ad-
 vocating celibacy or marriage. I be-
 lieve in natural selection" aud ''survi-
 val of the Attest" Let human nature
 elect for himself and act accordingly, so
 1 would not coerce the bachelor into
 paradise or perdition. Divorces are
 common enough and we have a few
 grass widows" Such view as the
 above is most consistent with reason and
 sound sense.
 It is related of a certain old cynic that
 when one of his juniors was introduced to him he would ask"Are you married?' } If the answer was in the affirmative hi, comment was 'lucky dog" If he re ceived a negative reply he ejaculated 'bappy dog" It Is needless to say
 that the old cynic was himself married man.
 An old English poet has compared
 matrimony to Q lighted lantern. Tn insects outside butt their heads agains r tue pane to get in, while those inside butt their heads to get out again. How 3 much cynicism there is in the old poet i; figure 1 will not undertake to say. Le . me assure you the bachelor has his us ] in the progress of civilization and haN iuI
