Bachelors are styled by married men "who hav "rot their foot in it, as only half-perfected beings, cheerless vagabonds, but half a pair of scisiors, and many other ridicu lous titles are given to them ; while on the other hand they extoll their state as one of so perfect a buss that a change irom eartn to neaven would be some what of a doubtful good. If they arc so happy, why don't they enjoy their happiness and hold their tongues about it t hat do hair the men get married for ? Simply that they may have some body to darn their stockings, sew but tons on their shirts and trot babies that they may have somebody, as a mar ried man said once, ''to pull off their boots when they are a little balmy." These fellows are always talking about the loneliness of bachelors. Loneliness indeed ! Who is petted to death, by la dies with marnagaeble daughters invited to tea and evening parties, and told to drop in just when it was convenient ? The bachelor. Who lives in clover all bis days, and when he dies has flowers strewn over his grave by the girls that could not entrap him r he bachelor. Who strews flowers over the married man's grave the widow ? Not muchly; she pulls down the tombstone that six week's grief had set up in her heart; she goes and gets married again, she does. Who goes to bed early because time hangs heavily on his shoulders ? The married man. Who gets a scolding for picking out the softest part of the bed, and for wak ing up the baby in the morning ? The married man. Who has wood to split, house hunting and marketing to do, the young ones to wash and lazy servants to look after ? The niaried man. Who is taken up for whipping his wife? The married man. Who gets divorces ? The married man. Finally, who has got the scriptures on his side? the bachelor. St. Paul knew what he was about when he said : "He that marries does well, but he that marries not does better." The chief brewer of Dubuque, Iowa, is a woman. The latest about the Prince of Wales is that he is a ritualist. Chicago gets antelope meat from Omaha for six cents a pound. Fifteen different towns are anxious to be the Capital of Kentucky.

A Connecticut paper of a late date says: At a wedding party, during the fore part of the week, not one hundred miles from Norwalk, a young lady remarked to the bride, just after the happy couple had been united: "Well, the worst is over with."

"What's the use," asked a ragged fel low, "of a man's working himself to death to get a living V j A STRAMGE STOltV. Late one nijrht in June two gentlemen arrived at the Villa Hotel of tho Hat ha of Lucca. They stopped the law biilzka. in which they traveled, and leaving a servant to make arrangements for their lodging, linked arms and strolled u; the road toward the banks of the Lima. Tho moon was checkered at that moment with the poised leaf of a tree-top,, aud as it passed from her face she arose and stood alone in thfe steel-blue of the un clouded heavens a lutuiniou-i and trem ulous plate of gold. And you know how beautiful must have been the night a J unc night in Italy, with a moon at the full! A lady, with a servant following her at a little distance, passed the travelers ou the bridge of the Liin.-t. She dropped her veil aftd went by iu silence. Hut the Frcyherr felt the arm of his friend tremble within his own. "Do you know her, then?" asked Von Leisten. "Jiy the thrill of my veins, we have met before," said Clay ; "but whether this U'lvolitutary sensation wa3 pleasurable or paintul, 1 have not -et decided mere are none l care to meet none who can be here." lie added the last few words alter a moment's pause, and sadly. Thev walked on ia silence to the base of the mountain, busy each with such coloring as tho moonlight threw on their t noughts : out nietner ot tnem were happy. I, lay was humane, ana a lover ot na ture a poor, that is to say and, in a world so beautiful, could never be a prey to disgust : but he wa3 satisfied with the common emotions of life. I lis heart lorever overflowing, haa hilea many a cup with love, but with strange tenacity ho turned back forever to the first. lie was weary of the beginnings of'love weary of its probations and changes. lie had passed the period ot life when inconstan cy was tempting. He longed now for an affection that would continue into another world holy and pure enough to pass a gate guarded by angels. And his first love recklessly as he had thrown it awav was now the thirst of his existence. It was two o'clock at night. The moon lay broad on the southern balconies of the hotel, and every casement was open to its luminous and fragrant stillness. Clay and the Frcyherr, Von Leisten, each in his apartment, were awake, un willing to lose the luxury of the night. And there was one other under, that roof walking, with her eyes fixed on the moon. A.s Clay leaned his head on his hand and looked outward, toward the skye, his heart began to be troubled. There was a point in the path of the moon's rays where his spirit turned back. There was an influnce abroad in the dissolving moon light around him which resistlessly awake ned the past the sealed but unlorgotten past. He could not single out the emo tion. He knew not whether it was fear or hope, pain or pleasure. He called through the open wiudow, to Von Leis-ton. The Freyherr, like himself, and like all who had outlived'the effervescence of life, was enamored of the night. A mo ment of unfathomable moonlight was dearer to him than hours disenchanted with the sun. He, too, had been look ing outward and upward, but with no trouble at his heart. The night is inconceivably sweet." he said, as he entered, "and your voice called in my thought and sense from the intoxication of a revel. What would you, my mend : "I am restless, Von Leisten ! There is some one near us whose glances cross mine on tho moonlight and agitate and perplex me. Vet there wa3 but one on earth deep enough in the life-blood of being to move me thus, even were she here ! And she is not here V II is voice trembled and softened, and the last word was scarce audible on his closing lips, for the Frayherr had passed his hands over him while lie spoke, and he had fallen into the trance of the spirit-world. Clay and Von Leisten had retired from the active passions of life together. and had met and ruin tried at that mn. raent of void and thirst when each sun- plied the want of the other. The Frey herr was a German noble, of a charaetpr passionately poetic, and of singular ac quirement in the mystic fields of knowl edge. Too wealthy to need labor, nnrl too proud t5 submit' the thoughts of his attainments to the criticism or iudo-p. ment of tho world, he lavished on his own life, and on those linked to him in friendship, the powers ho had acauired and the prodical overthrow of his daily uiuugtii nu jeeiing. tjiay was Ins su perior, perhaps, in genius, and necessity had driven him to develope the type of his inner soul and leave its imnresa nn i the time ; but he was far inferior to Von Leisten in the power of will, and be ay iu uia cumroi use a cuiia in its moth er s. Hour years they had passed to gether much of it in the secluded castle of Von Leisten, busied with the occult studies to which the Freyherr was se cretly devoted ; but traveling flown to taly to meet the luxurious summer, and dividing their lives between the enjoy ment of nature and the ideal world they had. unlocked. Von Leisten had lost, bv could alone ie hurn the incense ot love and Clay had flung intoxicated It was with imnlacablu determination aside, iu ,-tn hour of 1 that 3irs.

A smile crept slowly over the speakers lips. In an apartment flooded with the sil ver luster of the moon, reclined, in air invalid's chair, propped with pillows, a woman of singular though most fragile beauty. Books and music lay strewn around, and a lamp, subdued to the tone of nxnh.'ht by an orb of alabaster,- burned pcsiueMier. bhe lay ba(hinr her !i!nr o. :frs in tJifk round rliitlina rl' 1., 1 - J - - ; " . ..... w .... iv.w 1 . moou. A profusion of brown ringlets fell over the whits dress that enveloped her, and her oval cheek lay supported on the palm of her hand, and her bright red lips were parted. The pure yet pass ionate spell of that soft night possessed her. Over her leaned tho disscmbodicd spirit of hiiu who had once loved her, praying to God that his soul might bo so purified as to mingle unstartingly, unrcpulsively, in hallowed harmony with hers. And pres ently he felt the coming of angels toward him, breathing into tho deepest abysses of his existence a tearful and purifying sadness. And with a trembling aspira tion of-grateful humility to his Maker, he stooped to her forehead, and with h is impalpable lips impressed upon its snowy tablet a kiss, j it seemed to Jvc Gore a thought of the past that brought the blood suddenly to her cheek. She started from her re clining position, and, removing the ob scuring shade from her lamp, arose s nd crossed her hands upon her wrists and paced thoughtfully to and fro. Her lips murmured inarticulately. But the thought, painfully' -though it came. changed unaccountably to a melaticholy sweetness ; and, subduing her lamp again, she resumed her steadfast gaze upoii the moon. , Ernest knelt beside her, and, with his invisible brow bowed down on her baud, poured fourth, iu the voisless language ot the soul his memories of the pasthis hope, his repentanee, his pure and pas sionate adoration of the present hour. And thinking she had been in a sweet dream, yet wondering at its truthfullness and power, Eve wept silently and long. As the morning touched the east, slum ber weighed upon her moistened eyelids, and, kneeling by her bedside, she murmured her gratitude to God for a heart relieved of a burden long borne, nnil Kfi irint nonppfullv to hpr Viorl lief of any change of. hi character: dis trust o'" the future ten Jeuey of the powers of his genius all mingled together in a hostility proof against purpuasion. She had expressed this with all the positivc nes? of language, when her daughter suddenly entered the room. It was in the morning after the ball, and she had risen late. But though subdued and pensive in her air, Vo:i Leisten saw at a glance that she. was happy. "Can you ' bring hiiu -to Mark Twain's Visit to General CSratnf. -to me?" remain in her deep . said Von blue year, and in death, the human alter on which his heart ' you I" It was in the followin the month of 3Iay. The gay world of England was concentrated iu London, aud at the entertainments of noble houses there were many beautiful women aud many marked men. The Frayherr Von Leisten, after years of absence, had ap peared again. His mysterious and un deniable superiority of mien and influ ence was again yielded to, as before, and again brought to nis leet the homage ana doference of the crowd he moved among. To his inscrutable power the game of society was easy, and he walked where he would "through its barriers of form. He stood one night looking on at a dance. A lady of noble air was near him, and both were watching the move ments of the loveliest woman present a creature in radiant health, apparently about twenty-three, and of a matchless facination of person and manner. Von Leisten turned to the lady near him to inquire her name, but his question was arrested by tho resemblance between her and the object of his admiring curiosity, and he was silent. The lady had bowed before he with drew his gaze, however. "I think we have met before," she said : but at the next instant a slight flush of displeasure came to her check, and she seemed regretting that she had spoken. "Pardon me," said Von Licston, "but, if the question be not rude, do you re member where ?" She hesitated a moment. ' - "I ' have recalled it since I have spoken," she continued; "but as the re membrance of the person who accompan ied you always, gives me pain, I would willingly have unsaid it. One evening last year, crossing the bridge of the Lima, you were -walking ' with Mr. Clay. Pardon me ; but, though I left Lucca, with my daughter on the following morn ing, and saw you no more, the association, or your, appearance, had imprinted the circumstance on my mind." "And is that Eve Gore ?" said Von Leisten, musingly gazing on the beauti ful cretature now gliding with light step to her mother's side. , But the Freyherr's heart was gone to his friend. As the burst of the waltz broke in up on the closing of the quadrille, he offered his hand to the fair girl, and, as they moved around with the entrancing music, lie murmured in her ear, "He who came to you in the moon - light of Italy will he with you again, if you are alone, at the rising of to-night's late moon. Believe the voice that then speaks , to iuve, letting her hand LeistenV and bending eyes, inquiringly on his. And with no arguroent but tears and caresses, and an unexplaiued assurance of her conviction of the repentant purity and love of him to whom her heart was once given, that confiding and Ktrong hearted girl bent, at last, the stern will that forbade her happiness. Her mother unclasped the slight arms from her neck, nd gave her hand in silent consent to Von Leisten. The Frayherr stood a moment with his eyes fixed on the ground. The color fled from his cheeks, and his brow moist ened. ' "I have called him !" he said; "he will be here !" . ; An hour elapsed and Clay entered the. house. He had risen from a bed of sick-1 ness, and came, pale and in terror for! the spirit-summons was powerful. But1 Von Leisten welcomed him at the door with a smile, and withdrew the mother from the room ; and left Ernest alone with his future bride the first union, save in! spirit, after years of sepcration. i 1 Vice Prksident Colfax. Our Vice President elect, Schuyler Colfax, recently made a speech at a New England dinner, in which he referred to the growth of the United States as the result of the grand eur of American citizenship. !In the course of his remarks ho said : j "It is the shield of American citizen ship which shall make us proud and. potential and lift up our country to a prouder position among the nations. It is that which, is to teach those who are clothed with the solemu trust of repre senting this great realm of freemen, who rule here not by divine right but by free institutions, that when they stand speak ing for us at the bar of any civilized na tion in the world they shall not, on the one hand, disgrace us by by boastful gas conade, nor, on the other, dishonor us by bowing the knee. Then, wheu with that self-reliance, that calm, that dignified American nationality, wc command the A. . . 1 respect 10 wiucn our great lesources and unequaled trials, which we have sur vived so gloriously and auspiciously, en title us, then wc need not go into markets of the world to offer gold and silver to induce those islands of the sea and adia cent States and provinces to cast in their mite with us, to share with our future. I feel ashamed as an American when I hear of proffers of soil and. sovereignty to men women and children with gold and silver from our national treasury, to share with us in the magnificent future. As you would spurn a bride that is bought with silver as a fair woman would spurn a husband who had been lured to her side by her wealth instead of her heart, so we, as Americans should devote our nationality to win those who are near- to us in territorial congeniality to cast in their lot with us. When voluntarily and in a body they ask to share with .us in our destiny and our future, we j should then welcome them into the fold of American citizens." Death from Swallowino a Pin. A London- paper gives an instance of death resulting from the swallowing a pin. The deceased was a girl of eleven years of age, and had been ill for a year and a half, during which time she had tecome subject to fits. After her death, a post mortem examination of the body was made, when, in removing tho liver for examination, something pricked the operator's finger, and, on further search, he found a pin, which had penetrated the liver, the head of it being still in the stomach. The pin had been swallowed at least two years before, and had taken an inward course, producing the fits, con comitant pains, and eventually death.

To which he made no audible reply. Then I said r Sir, do you mean to stop-the whisky frauds, or do you mean to cotuiive nt them V . To which be re plied as before. I now said : 'Do yon intend to do straightforwardly and un ostentatiously what eyeiy tru, high minded Democrat has a right to expect you to do, or will you j with accustomed obstinacy, do otherwise, and thus, by your" own act, compel them to resort to assas sination?' To which he replied : 'Let us. have peace.'. I continued; 'Sir, -aball. you insist upon stopping blotched at the South, in plain opposition to the Southern will, or shall you generously1 permit a brave but unfortunate people "to worship God according to the dictates ot your own consciences ? No reply. 'Sir, ( do you comprehend that you are not the President of a party ? that you were not elected by your own strength, but by tho weakness of the opposition?.

No response. 'Sir, as each section of the Pacific Railroad is finished, are you going to make the com panies spike down their rails before you pay? Which is to say, are you going- to be a deliberate tyrant?' A" silence undis tinguisbable from the preceding was the only response. 'Sir, have you got your Cabinet all get?
