The heart of the manageable young
man is bowed down with grief during
these last and fleeting days of the yeal
1883. The ease of bachelors life has
grown wcarisome, and down under his
vest there is a yearning for something
not contained in the large and varied
| assortment found in the most delicate
dish of boarding house hash. The pres.
ent year bringing a change from the
stronger to the gentler sex of the re.
sponSibility of lisping the soft PROPOSE,
ton that has embarrassed the ages,
came with bright promise that he would
be mated before the ides of December,
and he fondly hoped that some shy,
blushing maiden in her desperation
and on the impulse would dare to
whisper the words which he could
never muster courage to utter. But
after waiting during the twelve month
with his distended tympanum unsatis-
fled by the dulcet words, now in these
waning, gloomy days he sees the golden
chain of hope slipping from his grasp,
and he contemplates the alternative,
death, with complacency. However,
there is class constituting the hope of
our country who hail with joy the COM
ing of the new year when their propOs
ing disabilities will be removed, and
they can speak their mind and create
activity in the matrimonial market.
We are confdentially informed that not
one of the Audubon bachelors has re-
ceiyed q proposal this year, and it is
the deliberate opinion of this portion
Of The community that If leap year
etiquette were to be perpetuated the
marriage custom would soon fall into
'innOcuous desuetude."
