THREE MILLION BACHELORS.
That's what the Census Shows, md It's
Time Some Repentcd.


Time Some Repented.
From the Boston Globe.
According to the last census reports there are
over 5000, 900 bachelors in the United States
by which is meant there are 5000, 900 men over
thirty years Did who have never been married.
This fact, of course, furnishes q very handy
text for all sorts Of comment and suggestion
Now and then the scheme is advocated OF max
ing neglect OF mstrimony . statutory ofense,
either by way OF tax discrimination in favor at
married parties or otherwise.
In earlier times marriage was compulsory.
The great world conquerors wanted material
for their armies. and heavy penalties were
laid on a neglect 10 marry.
One interesting question which the census
figures do not answer IL this: How many Of
these 5000. 900 bachelors are single from choios
rather than necessity
The factors affecting the ability TO support .
wife have been very much changed under the
newer industrial and commercial condition.
So great has become the competition for places
among the higher pursuits, aud 80 largely have
women come 20 fill positions once exclusively
occupied by men, that the bureaus Of industrial
statistics show larger and larger percentage
Of men in these pursuits whose incomes, from
their point of view, would not permit them to
marry.
II is easy to scold the young men in this
matter-quite easy to find fault with the
young women who are looking out for husbands
with plenty of ready money. But there IL
nothing in the published census figures regard
ing the average earnings of certain classes Of
workers which al all warrants the conclusion
that the majority of these 5000, 600 unmarried
men remain single through willfulnsn
rather than what they deem necessity.

From the Portland IrabscrlIt
A good story about Prof. Tucker. formerly Of
Bowdoin College, is told:
About the year 81, when he was Tutor"
Tucker at the institution, the bell rang for
prayers at the chapel, as now, very early in the
morning, and it was imperative upon tutors
and pupils to respond.
As a tutor Mr. Tucker was very popular al
though very strict, and he was always prompt
TO take his place at the head OF his class Mt the
early morning devotions.
One morning. however, he found his clothing
gone and his door nailed while the bell was
ringing
Finding Q Ratchet he soon split the door
down and at the last stroke of the bell appeared,
clothed in his shirt aud pair of overals, bare
footed. with a smile of serenity on his express
sive counte n&nce. He took his customary place
and neither then nor sf.erward were words OF
complaint heard from him

Fit crowns for the heroes that bled,

When childhood was cloudless and bright;
And long days ye fingered for me,
When my soul and my senses were free.

nau the spirit TO preak the letters which bound
him, and dare say that they hold HIM to this
day. Yet other people used to
say that Robinson was q lucky fellow when
they saw the ex- brokers' clerk riding In q hand
some carriage and apparently living on the fat
of the land.
"But the saddest case know Of was that Of

about your lucky fellows! Why, everybody said
that he had fallen right into clover. With no

lmghuysen Stuyvesant Brown-for he came of
good old family whereas the banker himself
was parvenue. Perhaps 1t was on that ac-
count that the banker encouraged him to visit
his house and accepted him a son-in-aw.
Having the desire, which all rich men outside
| OF society indulge, to penetrate into the eXclu-
slve circle, he thought it would be a most de-
sirabls thing that his daughter should be Mrs.
Frellnghuysen Stuyvesant Brown. And, mind
you, the last name wasn't really Brown. So
there was q wedding, and my friend found him
self advanced to the position of son-in-law of

''There was no difficulty as to money in this
case. The old man was very liberal He es-

been able to afford to 60 out in society, became

said that, and there no doubt of the fact from

Madame D'Argiyal burst into tears What
was she to do if her son went to Paris? Paris
was SO far away, and Paris was SO wicked
NJ. Hogard endeavored to reassure the good
mother. Paris wasn't exactly a Garden of
Eden, but was London2 One capital was az

Madame D'Argival asked for the night to
think about it, and thinking about it, she was still

But she had brought herself to see that after
all what NJ Hogard said was true Sooner or
later Claude must leave the nest She could
not expect him now that he was a growu-up
man to be always with her, and she had no
right to stand in his way when there was a fine
chance of his making position in the world

And so at last, with tears which she vainly
tried to hide in her loving eyes. she consented
