A BACHELORS GRowL.

I'm a grumpy old bachelor,
Grizzly and gray;
I'm seven and forty
If | am a day,
/ am fussy and crusty,
And dry as a bone;
So ladies, good ladies,
Just let nae alone.
Go shake out your riLglets
And beam out in smiles,
Go tinkle your trinkets
And show off your wiles,
Bewitch and bewilder
Whenever you can;
But, pray-pray remember,
l am not the man!
I'm frozen to bushes,
I'm proof against eyes,
I'm hardened to shippers,
And stony to signs;
I'm tough to each dart
That young Cupid can lance:
I'm not in the market
To any advance.
l sew on my buttons,
l darn my own hose,
/ keep my own counsel
And fold my own clothes,
1 mind my own business,
And lead my own life:
/ wont-no, the dickens
Be plagued with wife.
And yet there's nine spinsters
Who believe me their fate;
There's two dozen widows
Who'd change their estate,
There's silly young maidens
Who blush at my bow:
All, all bent on marrying me.
No matter how!
l walk forth in trembling;
/ come home in dread;
1 don't fear my heart

And that-heaven save mel

FROM cHARLEsToN's STANDPOINT.

The Charleston Post of Wednesday
has an article of considerable length
and interesting, if debatable matter,
under the caption. Savannah Girls
Are Good Flirts.''
Chicago girls" it begins, ARE noted
for their boldness in flirting in pub
lie and have been heard of over the
country for this reason. But, accord
ing to a Charleston man, who has just
returned from Savannah, the Forest
City girls. are a cyclone to a brisk
wind in comparison"
With this somewhat extravagant in
PRODUCTION, the Charleston visitor goes
on to relate some remarkable expert
ences, which, to those who are accus-
toned to boast of the demure behavior
of Savannah girls, are, to say the least,
surprising.
That the visitor from Charleston was
unfortunate in his choice of acquaint-
ances cannot be doubted. and it is re-
grettable that from what proves to
have been a single instance he should
draw such unflattering and sweeping
conclusions
