They are wanderers arid ramblers—neverat home, Making sure of a welcome wherever they roam, And every one knows that the bachelor's den Is a room set apart for those singular men— A nook' in the elands',' o f some five feet by four, Though .sometimes, by chance, it may be rather

more. With skylight or no light," ghosts, goblins and

gloom, And every where termed " the old bachelor's

room.' These creatures, they say, are not valued at all, Except when the herd give a bachelor's ball.

Then drest in their best, In thelr'gdW-bfoldered vest, It Is known as a fact That they cannot with much tact, And they lisp " how d' ye do 1" And they coo and they woo, And they smile for a while, Their fair guests to beguile, Condescending and bending, For fear of offending.

Though Inert, And they spy, They exert, With their eye, To be pert, And they sigh, And to flirt, As they fly.

And they whisk and they wlz, And are brisk when they quiz.

For they meet, Advancing, To be sweet, And glancing, And are fleet, And dancing, On their feet, And prancing,

Sliding and gliding with minuet pace, Pirouetting and setting with infinite grace.

And jumping, And racing, And bumping, And* chasing, And stumping, And pacing, And thumping, And lacing,

They are flittering and glittering, gallant and gay, I Yawning all morning, and lounging all day.

But when he grows old, And his sunshine is past Three score years be told, Brings repentance at last.

H e then becomes an odd old man, His warmest friend's the warming pan; H e ' s fidgety, fretful and weary; in fine, Loves nothing but self, and his dinner and wine.

He rates and he prates, And reads the debates:

Despised by the men and the women he hates. Then prosing, "Andporing, And dosing, And snoring, And cosing, And boring, And nosing, And roaring.

Whene'er he falls in with a rabble, His delight Is to vapor and cabbie;

H e ' s gruny, And musty, - And puffy, And tusty, H e aits in his slippers with back to the door.

Near freezing, And grumbling, And wheezing, And mumbling, And teasing, And stumbling, And sneezing, And tumbling,

H e curses the carpet or nails In the floor, Oft falling, Oft waking, Oft bawling, Oft aching, And sprawling, And quaking, And crawling, And shaking,

Hi s hand i s unsteady, his stomach is sore, H e ' s railing, Uncheery, And failing, And dreary, And ailing, Arid weary.

And groaning, and moaning, Hi s selfishness owning, Grieving and heaving. Though nought he is leaving, But pelf and ill-health, Himself and his wealth.

H e sends for a doctor to cure or to kill, Who gives him advice, and offence and a pill, Who drops him a hint about making his wUL As fretful antiquity cannot be mended. The miserable life of a bachelor's ended. Nobody misses him, nobody aitfhs, Nobody grieves when the. bachelor dies.

A mother and her sunny child are there Entwined, as they ait i n the sunlight bare, Like a white rose bud and full blown flower, Breathing fragrance o'er some woodland bower From a single bright and beautiful stem. Witb star-like eyes, more brilliant than the gem That flashes on the brow of the monarch crowned, With gold arid diamonds sparkling around.

And as more earnest I gaze on that brow, I seem to read in its lints like snow, A trace of deep sadness engraven there, Or i s it a fanciful form of the air 1 And if my art proves not all false as a lie The bitter tear gleams in her clear blue e y e ; Such as only the deeply suffering shed O'er some hope that is blighted forever and fled. Yet there is a chord that awakens a light Of purer glow and more heavenly bright j ' T l s that sunny haired and gentle child, With its fair young brow and its. heart, so mild, And its earnest eyes with their fond caress, The mother's torn heart to comfort and bless, In the joy of that child or the mother's sad hour, They are beautiful both, the bud and the flower; And light may the rude bias ting.winds o'er them

pass As the summer air over the soft waving grass.

AM Exmnsrre G E M r a o u True AKTHHTB. — The following Madrigal is by Wilbye, in 1609 .-

" Sweet honey sucking bees 1 Why do ye still Surfeit on roses, pinks and violets, As if the choicest nectar lay in them, Wherewith you store your curious cabinets 1 Ah, take your flight to Melisuavia's.lips, There may ye revel in ambrosial cheer, Where smiling roses and sweet JiUes sit, Keeping their spring tide graces" all the year. Yet, sweet, take heed, all sweet's are hard to get. Sting not her soft lips, oh, beware of that, F o r i ? one flaming dart come from her eye, Was never dart so sharp, ah, then you die."

A SKETCH FOR HUSBANDS. BV T. S. ABTHUa.

Mrs. Landy had been up for half an hour, busy about one; (Jung arid another, when Mr. Lundy rubbed his eyes open, and concluded, after tbirfkirtjf Over tho matter for some five or tea minutes, that it was time for, him.to be "getting ready for brea.fcfa.st., So hfc crept out of bed and commenced dressing himself.

" I wish y M would get I»B some hot water, Agny, he said to Ilia wife. I muat •have- myself,this morning."

Mrs. Lundy was busily engaged in dressing a little resiau'ng utbhin; .

* I wishyoti v*fa!iM^tXtfor^enow. Agnes!. I can't finish dressing myself until I share " i.u;•.*„••

The wife put down the child and, went for the hot water,, while her Imsband seated huwaelfanrt wailed1 foi^h^fllfl:

After shaving and dressing himself, Mr. Lundy went down stairs to read-his newspaper until breakfast dime. Eight o'clock.was the>hour, although the fact and the time did not always agree to­gether, a=crrcunutanco that fretted Mr. Lundy, who was a. very punctual man.

Meanwhile,! Mrs. Lundy had herself and five children to. get ready for the morning>mealr and she was working di­ligently in order to accomplish Iter task. But Maggy's- hair- was-stubborn, and took twice as long as usuaNo come into proper order, andcWiU's temper was in a worse condition than Maggy's hair, and worried the mother a great deaf more. And then, to help- llhe matter, the baby would'nt sit quietly with the nurse, but cried all the time. .

" There-! I've broken my shoe string!" says Will, as the tie at which: he has been jerking, gave way with a snap.

"Give me a pin, mother," calls out Mary, who to dressing herself.

The minutes are consumed in rum­maging drawers and boxes for a shoe string, which must bo had, as immediate­ly after breakfast, the children have to start for school, and there will be no time then to look for shoe strings.

At la&t, alter an exciting scone of about three quarters of an hour, io which Mrs. Lundy is worried almost to deuth, the children are pot in order to meet their lather at the breakfast table. And now Mrs. Lundy, in momentary expectation of hearing the bell, commences putting herself in right trim. Her hair is to be combed,-and a more tidy dress to be put on, for hor^.huaband cannot-' bear to see his wife at the breakfast table in dis­habille.—Her hair ia all oveir her face, when ling a ling a-ling-ling sounds: up the stair way. For full ten minutes she has heard her husband's heavy tread, as he paced the parlor floor, io her the un-mistakeable evidence that the cook was

" Agnes ! Ain't you dressed yet V exclaims her husband, coming to the chamber door, with his watch in his hand. '* It is ten minutes past eight now I've been ready and waiting for more than half an hour."

" I'll be along in a minute. Fve only got my hair to put up, and a dress to slip on," replied Mrs. Lundy.

" A minute ! Yes, I know what your minutes are. I'm sure you've been up long enough to have dressed for break­fast a dozen times over."

" You forget that 1 had all the chil­dren to get ready," replied Mrs Lundy.

Silenced' But not convinced, the hus­band goes grumbling down stairs, and recommences walking the floor, but with a heavier and more rapid tread.

Go tip and see if your mother isn't most ready. I'm in a grealt hurry this morning," Mr. Lundy says to one of the children, after the lapse of two minutes, which seem to the impatient man at least five.

" Fm coming," he hears, on the stairs, from his wife-

" I'm glad of it," he rather gruffly responds. " I knew your minute would 'nt be much less than half en hour. 1 wit>h you would try to be moire punctual; this ever1 being behind time annoys me terribly.'

There are some meek words said about the time it takes to dress and see after so many children ; bull they make no impression whatever upon the mind of Mr. Lundy. They ate uttered as a kind of excuse, and he regards them as of n o m o r e a c c o u n t

" These sausages are dome to death," said Mr. Lundy.

The wife remained silent., but looked worried.

" Mere dish water f" Mr. Lundy set his saucer down with an expression of disgust on his face.—The coffee was not lo his liking.

" I wish, Agnes, you would look a little after Sarah in the moirning. We haven't had anything fit to eat at break­fast time for a month."

" I don't know bow I can do more than ( now do, Mr. Lundy. I'm sure I've not had a moment to breathe eince I got up.

" Still, I think you might spare a mo­ment or two to see if things were going on right in the kitchen- Comfortable meals are half the comfort a man has at home."-

Mrs. Lundy sighed, but answered nothing to this ungenerous remark

" Four heud^ooka like a perfect mop, Agnes," said )he husband, as he leaned back to pick his. teeth, afteir "hnving fi­nished his breakfast, and mnde a more careful observation ol his wife's appear­ance. " Yon are getting downright care­less about your person."

Mr. Lundy did not expocit any reply to ibis; and ho was not disappointed. '

"log wi'ih i dreadful tooth-ache all the,., morning, and I feel aa if every nerve in my head were alive." " Why don't you have that tooth out t I would not suffer as you do ? if I had to have every tooth, in my head extracted.

Mr». Lundy turns away with n, feel-' ing of diecourogement. • She is heavily burdened, and has no true sympathy.

Mr. Lundy-walks towacdjupstore, healthjn every, veiri and-YTJ Wfeih every muscle; and his wife god? wearily up to her chamber, half mad with "pain, and

-every nerve excited -and quivering. Arrived at bit) store, Mr. Lundy

smiles and chats with a, customer, makes a few entries in his doybook, 611s up three or four checks, and pay two or three bills. These acts, with a general supervision of what is going oh, make up the sum of his doings, and bring him, with a good appetite, to the diriner hour, when he sets off for home, allowing him­self just the number of minutes required to walk there, and expecting to bear the dinner bell tinkle as he opens the street door of his house.

After Mr. Lundy left for his store, his wife took the baby and carefully washed and dressed it, during all the- time of which operation its loud piercing screams rang wildly through her head, and caus-

When she came home, she was eo^oropletely exhausted as-to be compel­led to lie down for an hour. This brought twelve o'clock, when Maggy, Willie and Mary came bounding ia from school, hungry and impatient, and, the mother had to see about getting them their din­ners, and attending to their numberless iittle wants, unlit it was time for them to go to school again

Half past one came, and two was the regular dinner hour. Rernerpbe,rjn&her husband's last wordsjidio'uTpunctuality, Mrs! Lundy went iutflrhe kitchen to see what progress the w o k -was making. She found Sarah paring the-potato*, and looking as unconcerned H» if it-was yet two hours to dinner time.

Not leas than three or four times in a year, was Mrs. Lundy made sick in the way described. When she was bending under the burden thakwas too heavy for her, her husbandpJBtffesd of lightening, as he might easUylhave done, the load, or given her strength' to bear it, laid on the additional weight that crushed her to the earth. *S-

Bui no one expected this: not even Mr. Lundy himself. The idea that he was murdering his wife by a slow and cruel death, would have.-shocked him; and he would have fe^^intimation of such a thing as an Uj^^^HHKkitrage. And yet such w a ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ H X He was murdering h e r . ^ ^ | H P ^

- that we have given, was an epitomized: history of her- life. Mr. Lundy, wrap, ped up in his schemes of gain, and rigid in his notions of order, punctuality, and formal proprieties, had no real sympathy for his wife, and was ever complaining of

Well satisfied from former experience, (j thing for him, robust, and in high health, that dinner would only be retarded "by any efforts, she might make to hairy Sarah, Mrs. Lundy retired, and wiuted with a kind of nervous dread the return of her husband, her tooth and head mean time aching with a dull, boring, fretting pain.

Punctually at two she heard the street door open, and Mr. Lundy's decided step along the passage.

" Is it possible ! Too bad! Too bad ! She heard him say as he paused, on his w a y u p s ta i r s , at t h e d i n i n g r o o m d o o r , a n d s a w that e v e n the t a b l e w a a n o t s e t . " 1 w o n d e r w h a t g o o d it i s for a m a n to have a house of his owq, if be can't have things as he pleases."

" I declare Agnes ! I'm out of all pa­tience !" tie said, entering her chamber a few momenta afterwards. " "V told you when I went away this morning that I wished dinner at the hour, and there isn't even the sign of its beirigjeady. Il really looks as if it were done on pur­pose

Meeker, mwe patient, more loving ia hor character grew Mrs. Lundy. By suffering she waa purified. It made the heart ache to see frer moying by the s'de of her er-jct,' florid, elastic-treading hunband, more like a pale, shadpwy form, than a real substance; and to feel issured, that in a very little while, the plac-s that knew, her, and the children ind frierida who loved her, would know her and Iffve her no more.

> i«erv!»^-A' Servian Community,

The villages of Servia stretch far up into the gorges ol the mountains, into the valleys formed by the rivers and streams, or into the depths of the forest. Sometimes, when consisting of forty or filly bouses, they spread over a space as extensive as thdt occupied by Vienna and its suburbs. The dwellings are iso­lated, at a distance from another, and each contains within itself a separate community. The real house is a room enclosed by loam walls, and covered with the dry bnrk of the lime, having the hearth in the centre. Around this room chambers' are cohMrffeted—Slijet or Wajet—-often fitted up With polished boards, but without any fireplaces1. The house ostensibly belongs to the father and mother of the family; to whose use a separate sleeping room is sometimes appropriated. The cham­bers are for the younger married peo-plet All the members of the family constitute but one household j they work and eat together, and in the win­ter evenings assemble round the fire. Even when the father dies, his sons, ap­pointing one of thejr brothers, the best qualified amongst them, as master of the house (Stargeshina,) and remain to gether until tpo great an increase of the family renders a separation desirable. It is not unusual for one house to form an entire street

The household requires but little'as­sistance from strangers. The men raise their own buildings; construct, in their rude mariner, their ploughs and wagons; prepare the yokes of (Heir draught oxen; hoop their casks; and manufacture their shoes from rough leather- Their other clothing.is prepared by the women; '•irho spin typol and flax, weave linen and woollen cloth, and understand the art of dyeing withimadder. Their land yields the food they require; so that salt is perhaps tho only article they find it ne­cessary to purchase. The mechanics most in request by the villages are smiths, to make their toots. A mill be­longs to several houses conjointly, and each house has its day for using it.

These family households, supplying all their own wants, and shut up.each within itself—a state of thipgs which fyas continued under the Turks, because the taxes were chiefly .levied upon the households—formed the basis of Servian nationality. Individual interest was thus merged in that of the family.

BONDS OF BRoxHEEHqon.-— Persons unite with one another u in the name of God and St. John," for mutual fidelity and aid during their whol<* Jives. A man, it is considered, will make the safest selection for his «»brother," in choosing ono of whom he may at' some have dreamed that he lmi solicited assis­tance in some case of need. The allied designate themselves •' Broihers in-God," "^Brothers by choicej*r Pobradmi. "No ecclesiastical benediction is considered necessary for constituting this bond in 8«rvia Proper. J In Altorshdiva and Nogotin, it is cue-ternary to renew the turf on graves on tbe morning of the second Monday after Boater; and on tbe afternoon ef' that day the yotlDg people assemble and twist green garlands; youths, each one with another, and maidens also, in tho same manner, then enter into this alli­ance, whilst kissing through their gar­lands, which are afterwards exchanged. This first bond, however—they being yet quite young—lasts only till the suc­ceeding year, it is not yet "brotherhood and sisterhood1'' for ever 5 only an initia­tory pnjparafiojri.':" On the following Easter.

On a euddeh; the pyramidal mass be-came agitated; horrible, hissings issued from it, thousands of serpents rolled spirally on each other, shot forth out ihe eircle their hideous heads, presenting their envenomed darts and fiery eyes to us. I own I was one of the first to draw back, but when I saw this formi­dable phalanx remained at its post, and appeared to be more disposed to defend itself than to attack UH, I rode around it, in order to view its order of battle, which faced the enemy on every side. I then sought what could be the design of this numerous assemblage; and concluded that this Species of serpents dreaded some coilossean enemy, which might be the great serpent, or the cayman, and that they reunite themselves after hav-irtg seen this enemy ip order to attack or resist him in a mass.'—Humboldt.

JE ( sec U n i t s RURAL SIMPLICITY.-—A sporting gen­

They were met by the landlady, who weicom ed her visitors: but the next moment she gave a look of alarm at the gun9, nnd reminiscences of " melancholy and fatal accidents," only chronicled in a thousand and one different newspaper?, crowded on .her sensitive memory.— '' Oh, sirs," she exclaimed, are the guns loaded?" "Yes!" was the reply.— " Dear me, but I cannot nllpw loaded guns in my house ; I could na bide the thoot o' it—na ane kens what dreadfu' mischanter might happen."

, PRUDENCE.—Prudence is not only a restrainer of evil and an adorner of good conduct, but also a helper in the great and little affairs of life. A pru­dent man will attain his ends with small means, when an imprudent man will not effect them with large resources. Chur­lish Nabal would have, hardly done that with five hundred men which his pru­dent wife Abigail, accomplished with her loaves and cakes, her raisins, her parched corn, and her wine.

The loco­motive has been invented; the steam­boat brought into play ; our railway sys­tem developed; tbe electric telegraph introduced; penny postage devised and adopted; tha.j-otten boroughs, knocked on the head; and Catholics and Dis­senters made eligible-to the exciseman 5 while this dilly-dallying old farmer has been vainly trying to make up his mind to " pop the question."—Gateshead Ob­server.

That organ (the"governrnent paper) was hardly a week old biefore its reader's vwere transported, in imagina­tion* t o tho "Halls of Montezuma," which were to be occupied by \he Uni­ted States as the crowning act of "a at con J conquest, of Mexico, the toc­sin being sounded, volunteers were to flock from the West to" the scene of ac­tion, and to carry overy"* thing before them. Tbe government paper taught us, also, ^ow the war was to be brought on by which this conquest, was to be ef­fected. It, foresaw, by many months, the march of our Army from Corpus Christt (where, as every one knows, Mexico never intended to disturb it) to the Rio Grande ; foresaw that Uie Mex­icans might cross the Rio Grande, and that, if they did, «* blood would be shed," and "wat must ensue:" When there­fore, the prediction was realized— when the catastrophe arrived, however it shocked, it can scorcelybe «aid to have surprised-aa; Of the taejlity and pre­cipitancy with, which the purposes of the Executive came -to be sustained by the Legislative authority, we cannot say the same. W/e were both surprised and alarmed to find, how easily, on the im­pulse of the moment, blindfolded and gagged, Congress could be driven to lend its countenance to those purposes. Blindfolded and gagged, we repeat.— Nor is the expression too strong; for, before the, news of the dangerous posi­tion of our Army was communicated by the Executive to Congress, committees of both Houses had been got together (on the Sabbath) and measures prepared in concert with lh§ Executive, which, the next day, on receiving the Presi­dent's Message of form, without waiting to have the papers accompanying it read over, for the information of Members, were forced through the- House of Rep­resentatives. NOr, evehtoabody excited as, the-House was by life "stirring news from the Rio Grande, did the ruling party in tbe House venture: tofc^propose the false and obnoxious Preamble of the Bill until after all deliberati^|had been precluded on. a question as momentous certainly as ever came before Congreps. Had there-been nothing else alarming in this Declaration of War, with Mexico, the despotism thus exercised over the minority of the Representative body, repeated on the following day in tbe Senatorial body, . (theretofore exempt from such sharp practice,) was of itself sufficient to appal th&hearts of those ac­customed, aa we have been to regard the rights of minorities as not less sacred than those of majorities, and, among tbem, the right of proposing amend­ments to or remonstrating against any proposition coming before- them. The minority in each House was thus sub­jected b y e most arbitrary and malig­nant 'exercise of party power,, without tieing allowed'a moment for delibera­tion, to the alternative of voting' for a bill -with a preamble, the falsehood of which they saw and detested, or of re­fusing to vote for enactments (supplies of men and money) to which; ail lavish as they were, there would, perhaps, but for the Preamble, not have been a dis­sentient voice. . • ". • ' • . ' : .

Whatever alarm we and our readers felt at this beginning, has certainly been justified by the progress of events.— Even that precipitation in the action of Congress^—that preamble,"affirming two distinct falsehoods—'that tyranny by which a vote was extorted from the two Houses, have been continually appealed to by the Executive organs as evidence of the' unanimity6f the national will in approbation .of.tnei.war-p In, t h g ^ e s -sage before us, that appeal is-! repeated, accompanied With a statement/in terms, that the declaration that ;'< the War ex­ists by the act- of Mexico " was passed "with great unanimity^ in;Congress; though it must be known so the Execu­tive that hot a small m&jo$j;y Ms either House of Congress approved ^ n a ' dec­laration, many members declaring their repugnance;ta'it,' tome^ '|h'eir^ut3felri^>-hortence of it ^ote9^al^|t.th::bot|i Houses of .Congress! at: the eecondjisies' sibri of the same!Congress*«lainly estab­lished' . this facti; %td thpre \hefpre h,eeii .any.reosohlo dbhb,t; i t L . . . ^ i , f opular elections whichhaveariteryoriedcertain­ly leave no excuse1 f8r-ff doltht upon any man's miad;tjbat^BaioJi{l^f,Xhe Peo­ple , of- ther-.*%ited^' fyqte£'Q£Q.,agaii}st inis .war,* and iite authors.^^j' *t:kjmi •
