There is a bachelor in Hans Andera-m an old bach-lor, a phataloon of a man, and though he wore a nightcap and lived up a wooden staircase above a wooden S. shop, he can have been by no means one early martyrs. Poor fellow. be is only an example. He has the marks of bachelordon the brands, they had bet ter be called--set on him by good citizens of his town and, alas by dear Hans him self. The old bachelor dies, as the news- papers put it, alexposure and starvation, but Hans cunningly makes us think it was a broken heart. That is one of the marks. The citizens of yesterday and to-day put that brand upon bachelors, that they die or are dying or kunguish on starve because some anetent, flame has burned out the living desire. The old bachelor does not deny it, for if he did he would deny the lust fragment of his self-esteem, it is his last luxury to pre- tend there was a Rosalind, a rose in the bud, a dame, But if it were possible to enteh old bachelors asleep, which no one can do, since they sleep so uneasily, it would be discovered that they truly griove bus not for love. They grieve for lack of it, and because they did not rise, as I do here, to protest against the chains which smug townspeople put on them. For, ladies, did you only take off him this hard word, this word that drives him through the snow to his bachelor fortress where ng words ever come, then you would find how well solitude had Rain trained him to be a husband. "Did you only bring him among the young people round your hearths, you would see from his eyes and his quietness in a corner, and from his strange words of thanks. how his ice waa' melting in your warmth, and perceiving the image of yourself in bis mind you would say indignantly te your husband, I am surprised. Henry, that you did not see the, nun poet !
But alas who ever heard of a kind, courteous, loving unselfish bärleker! No one in this world, though may by they have righted the business in the next.

They are gond to him; he is one of their friends, he be comes fading satellite of this fixed planet, maybe, but he is a solitary, and may sit down in his room with liberty to roast a herring, free to garnish his room, to mend his stockings, to read a book, and, when the first November winds come rattling the doors, he is at liberty to make up his mind whether he will light a fire or not.

For now being prepared. The stamps are. no bachelor keeps a dog; it is too near also considered by the Government as a reminder of his solitary state. whereas being an excellent means for Communist a newel-post or a snuff-box are so remote they might, as it were, be people of an-" other race, especially if carved or inlaid. It is these conversations which make kobolds chuckle very loudly. And it is on these nights, when the bachelor goes puffing and blowing to his place and lights a great fire, and opens small of salted Billets and takes a picre of liver sausage and wonders whether the Lisa burger will disagree with him again, that be really becomes a bachelor. Fer it is in the winter that he shatters the win- dows and double locks the doors and piles wood on the hearth to make a blaze, saying to himself how cheerful this is, and, so doing, wonders all at once whe ther the elapper on the door will work. if anyone should "come, and immediately puts are wond on till the room is like a furnaces, declaring loudly to the newel- post and the bottom of the stairs that all is snug, and cosy and sufficient. It it then that the kobolds begin to jeer so loudly that he bolts the door top and bottom to keep them out. It is then the gossips begia un him. He is out cast, to be wolitary for ever. Who would marry an old bachelor? Who would entertain his Aven the children know. Who was Old Roger but an old bachelor! "Old Roger is dead and he's laid in his grave. He! An laid in his grave." How they mock him! And they planted! an apple tree over his head, so the song goes. It was meant as a reminder of his unfruitfulness. And they have another song which can best be aung running round the poor man, painting: He's an old bachelor, he's growing old." To hear that song is to know how i tune can help the sling of the words. The ald bachelor grows older at ten years the verse, and by the time it is ended he is-ready to go back to his great fire and look into the logs for dream children who will never sing those songs.
krs!
So do you, gentle reader, remember these things when next the word rises to your lips, and go triskly to the right- about of it, saying "Stuff and nonsense,' and do not teach your little children any of those songs, least of all this:
Out, cut wood, poor bachelor sa good. Go take your nightcap and to rest, For 'tis the nightcap suits you best. For this song is the most cruel and distressing to bachelors, and be sure that if you so much as mention it the kobold will carry the news, and that will be fatal for then no longer on this earth will the old bachelors trouble to fill the keg of Bllets, the plate of sausage," and the dish of Limburger cheese-DoD BOYD in the Manchester Guardion,
