CAPERS OF CUPID.

The past week enjoyed its full quota of
weddings few of them were of a public
nature, yet they attracted no less attenttoa
in the society set in which the respective
parties moved. The following lines are quite
apropos of the epidemic, which has prevailed
during the past month:
How happy is the bachelor
How free from his life
How much more blest he really is
Than if he had wife.
He has no dressmakers to pay,
No millinery bills,
And similarly he escapes
From many other ills
He's only called upon to buy
The food and clothes for one,
And saving thus enables him
To have a lot of fun.
The pretty girls all smile on him,
To catch him if they can;
They'd pass him by with cold negect,
Were he a married man.
Oh, yes indeed, the bachelors
very lucky man;
And yet, he's thinking constantly
I'll marry when | can.
