TEE BACHELOR.

Alone, in this wide world of sorrow,
Your pilgrimage for life must be,
Regardless to-day what tomorrow
Hath in store good or ill for thee.
Whether the sunshine be bright at day
dawning,
Or cloud cast the Earth be at eve,
TITS the same at night and at morning
For bachelor, l really believe.
So, It's time that you should be wooing
A damsel to share your poor lot
To dispense with much billing and COO
ing,
And ask her to wed on the spot.
But the girls are all seeking to better
Their lots for the balance of time
To marry some rich, handsome fellow,
Who will render their lives all sub
lime.
1t is leap year, you then must rely on,
Ere for you it is too late
For a girl who has her whole heart on
A marriage certificate.

The doctrine of repentance is thought
to be very convenient by those unstable
christians who spend their lives in sin
ming and repenting by turns--sinning
all the week, and repenting in bulk on
Sunday; and who preach that it mat
tiers not how one lives SO he dies right,
thinking that q kind Providence will
considerably fix their time to die in one
on the repentant moods of far off old
age. The apostle Paul disposes Of
them thus eff we sin Willfully after

The truth, there remaineth no more

A REPUBLICAN ORGAN KICKS.
The Chicago Tribune's Contribution
to Tariff Reduction Literature.

We have not found one Republican
editor who has given any reason why
these enormous war taxes on the ne
cessities Of life should be continued, or
why they cannot be safely reduced, or
why the reduction cannot be properly
adjusted so that the tariff should still
be high enough as protective meas
ure. Not one has shown that reason
able reduction would be any damage to
legitimate manufacturing interests, or
that consumers ought to keep On pay
ing these war taxes when their neces-
sity for revenue has ceased. We have
scanned all the little thick and thin
tariff papers to ascertain it any one OF
them could seriously argue that $4,000
600 of unnecessary taxes should he col
lected merely to be squandered; that but
for the war of the rebellion there would
have been any such tariff as we have
now, or any necessity for it, or that Co.
000, 600 consumers have not the right to
demand relief from wantoI and tyran-
for the benefit of millionaire monopo-
lists.
We submit, therefore, that as mat
ter of of common propriety and decen-
CIV these small critics should set forth
their reasons or be quiet. They have
no right to assail the position taken by
President Arthur and emphasized by
the Republican national convention OF
1884, unless they have ample and valid
cause. lie they have any reasons for SO
doing, will they not kindly state them
and send us marked copies, SO that the
Tribune may discover the error OF its
ways 7 Will they further show us how
they expect the party to win with
tobacco on the free list, with half the
soIdierss pepgion fund destroyed, and
the war taxes continued, and where
