THE BACHELORS SONG.


In one of the states of the Argentine
Republic bachelors have to pay fine of
Gl a month up to the age of 30, E2
month from 50 to 35 and CO a month after
they reach the age of 80.
Since my twentieth birthday had tried
With no success to win a bride;
My heart had been returned with thanks
by cruel ladies in endless ranks.
but. instead of the balm that the Tilted
lacks,
The state came down on me with a tax,
And | saw my savings disappear
AT the rate of Gl2 every year
1t came a bit expensive, for
l wasn't a wealthy bachelor
Fearing my purse wouldn't stand the
drain,
AT the age of thirty I tried again:
Bought new clothes of the latest style,
Practiced a fascinating smile;
But-Why l cannot understand
Nobody wanted my heart and hand;
And the state, in it's brutal, calious way
Doubled the tax Il made me pay.
Pounds to the number of twenty-fOur
l paid for being a bachelor
NY ffteth birthday found me still
"A single Jack in search of Jill:
Hairless hopeless, duh and stout,
Troubled too, with a twinge of gOut;
And for all my exertions l could not
Find any one willing to share my lot.
But did the state feel sorry for me?
No; it multiplied my fine by three.
Seventy pounds and a couple more
/ paid for being a bachelor.
I write these lines with borrowed quill
On the back of an unpaid taliOr's bill.
AS clever readers will doubtless guess,
The locSl wOTkhOuse is my address.
1t seems the only refuge for
A cruelty harTied bachelor.

Poor little ingenu!" said Louison,
patting my arm.
Louise, tall and lovely and sedate
as ever, stood near me, primping her
bonnet.

faint laugh of irony as she placed the
dainty thing on her head.
"Well, what do you think of him."
said Louison, turning to help her.
"Dieu! that he is very big and dread

to the lights they piled me with whis-

fighting. The prisoners were now in
the coach, and our men-there were
12-stood on every side of it, their
pixies in hand. The boats were near,
and we hurried to the river by tote
way. Our schooner lay some 20 rods
off a point A bateau and six canoes
were waiting on the beach, and when
we had come to the schooner I unbound
the prisoners.
"You can get ashore with this
bateau," | said. you will find the
horses tied TO a tree"

"That we have no right to hold
them" was my answer. "Ronley was

"Dick Wintersmith, representative
from Kentucky, was one of the drollest
wits in Washington" said phil
Thompson at the Waldorf the other
night. II remember at one time he
and his wife were walking down Penn
sylvania avenue when a little French
man, a member of the legation, who
was directly in front of them, tripped
and fell. 1t was slippery and lie fell
all over the pavement in the most
ludicrous way
Mrs. Wintersmith laughed, whore
upon the little Frenchman, picking
himself up, rushed at Dick and pre-
sented him with his card.
Dick looked it thoughtfully over.

little F'renchman.

soberly with a quick sense of alarm.

a very odd thing in this love expert

more of Louise. In truth, one face had
faded little in my memory; the other,

sweeter, as if by a light borrowed
from the soul behind it. Now that |

power of old. She was quick, viva

proud of her charms. and ever making
the most of them. She, all, yes, she

pleasure of victory-if she were not in

There was a dignity in the manners
of NJ. de Lambert to me formidable
and oppressive. 1t showed in his tall,
erect figure, his deep tone, his silvered
hair and mustache There was a
merry word between the kisses of one
daughter; between those of the other
only tears and broken murmur.
"Oh, papa" said Louison, as she
greeted him, Il do love you-but |
dread that-ticlly old mustache Mon
Deiu! what lover-you must have
been!"
Then she presented me, and put
her hand upon my arm, looking proud
ly at her father.
My captain!" said she. Did you
ever see a handsomer Frenchman ?"
There are many, and here is one"
said he, turning to the young count,
who stood behind him-a fine youth,
tall, strong-built well-spoken, with
blond hair and dark, keen eyes. | adj

figure of a man. | assure you, he had
the form of Hercules. the eye of Mars.
Il was an eye to command-women;
for | had small reason to admire his
courage when | knew him better. He
took a hand of each young lady, and
kissed it with admirable gallantry.
"Dieu it is not so easy always to
agree with ones father" said LouisOn.
We went riding that afternoon

maple were holding barred arms TO the
wind as if to tougher them for storm
and stress. | felt a mighty sadness,
wondering if my own arms were quite
seasoned for all that was to come.
The merry-hearted girl beside me was
ever like a day of June-the color
of the rose in her cheek, its Odor al
ways in her hair and lace. There was
never an hour of autumn in her life.
Alas, you are very silent mani"
