Appeal to a Bachelor.
BY JOHN 6. SAXE.
‘‘Double! Double!”—Shakespeare.
Dear Charles, be persuaded to wed—
For a sensible fellow like you,
It’s high time to think of a wife,
And muffins and coffee for two!
So have done with your doubt and delaying-
With a soul so adapted to mingle,
No wonder the neighbors are saying
’Tis singular you should be single!
Then, Charles, bid your doubting good bye'
And dismiss all fantastic alarms—
I’ll be sworn you’ve a girl in your eye
’Tis your duty to have your arms!
Some true little maiden of twenty,
A beautiful azure-eyed elf,
With virtues and graces in plenty.
And no failing but loving yourself!
Don’t se irch for an “angel” a minute;
For, granting you win in the sequel,
The deuce, after all, would be in it,
With a union so very unequal! _
The angels, it must be confessed,
In this world are rather uncommon;
And allow me, dear Charles, to suggest,
You’ll be better content with a woman.
Then, Charles, be pursuaded to wed—
For a sensible fellow like you,
It’s high time to think of a wife,
And muffins and coffee for two;
So have done with your doubt anddelaying-
With a soul so adapted to mingle,
No wonder the neighbors are saying
’Tis singular you should be single!
Re Active.
Be active, be active—
Find something to do,
In digging a clam-bank,
Or tapping a shoe.
Don't stop at at corners,
To drag out the day—
Be active—be active—
And work while you may.
’Tis foolish to falter,
Or lag in the street,
Orwaikas if' chain-shot
Were fast to your feet;
Be active—be active—
And do what you can
’Tis industry only
That rnaketh the man.
Tis industry makes you—
Remember—be wise—
From sloth and from stupor
Awake and arise.
\ ou’ll live and be happy,
And never comp ain
Of the blues, or duns,
Ora dull heavy brain.

General Land Office, )
March 23d 1852. f
By the first section of the act of Congress
ntitled'‘An act to make Land Warrants
assmgable and for other purposes,” approv
ed March 22d 1852, it is provided: “That
all warrants for military bounty land which
have been, or may hereafter be issued, un
der any law of the United States and all
valid locations of the same, which have
been or may hereaftei^be made, are hereby
declared to be assignable, by deed or instru
ment of writing, made and executed after
the taking of etfecl of this act, according to
such form, and pursuant to such regulations
as may be prescribed by the Commission
ers of the General Land Office, so as to vest
the assignee with all the rights of the orig

made and also of the genuineness of his

All assignments of bounty land warrants
issued uuder the act of September 28th
1850, made before the date of this act, are
invalid and void.
The same section provides, “That any
person entitled to pre-emption right toaiiy
land, shall be eniied to use any such laud
warrant in payment of the same, at the
rate of $1 25 per acre for the quantity of
land therein specified.”
Bj this provision, all persons entitled to
pre-emption, whether on offered or unoffer-
ed lan s, can use a military bounty land
warrant for the tract pre-empted, reckoning
the said warrant at $1 25 per acre for the
quantity therein specified, whether the laud
so claimed is at the usual or enhanced min
imum.
Should the acres of the tract claimed ex
ceed the amount called form the warraut,
the pre-emptor wili have to pay for the ex
cess lu cash, but if he should fall short, he
is not entitled to a refunding of the excess.
It is further provided by the same sec
tion, “that the warrants which have been
or may hereafter be issued in pursuance ol
said laws or of this act may be located ac
cording to the legal subdivisions of the pub
lic lands, in one body, upon any land of the
Un’ited States subject to private entry at
the time of such location, at that minimum
price*.. Provided, further, that when said
warrants shall be located on lands which
are subject to eutry at a greater minimum
than $1 25 per acre, the locator of said
warraut shall pHy to the United States, in
cH'h, the difference between the value of
such warrants at $1 25 per acre, and the
tract of land located on.”
By these provisions, where the the lands
are subject to private entry at $1 25 per
acre, the holder of an, eighty acre warrant
can take any two forty acre lots, forming
a compact body of eighty acres; aud the
holder of a warrant for one hundred and
sixty acres, can take two eighty acres, dr
four forty acres tracts, forming a compact
body of one hundred aud sixty acres.
Where the minimum price of the lands,
subject to private entry, proposed to be lo
cated is more than §1 25 cents an acre, the
holder of the warrant can locate, is accor
dance with the instructions, contained in the
foregoing paragraph, the quantity specified
in the warrant, by paying the difference in
cash. r '
This act does not authorize the holder of i
an eighty acre warrant to locate therewith
a forty acre tract of land at $2 50 per acre
in full satisfactiou thereof, but he must lo
cate, by legal subdivisions, the compact
body of eighty acres, as near as may be, and
pay the difference in cash. So also of 160
acre warrants except in presemptfon cases
as hereinbefore stated.
Each warrant is to be distinctly and sep
arately located, so that it follows that no
body ofland can be located by an assignee
of various warrantees, with a number of
warrants; nor can a pre-emptor in any case
use more than one warraut in the location
of the land pre-empted by him, and the ex
cess, if any, must be paid for by him in
cash.
The second section of this act provides :
“That the Registers and Receivers of the
Land Offices shall hereafter be severally
authorized to charge and receive for their
services in locating all military bounty iaud
warrants issued since the 11th day of Feb
ruary, 1849, the same compensation or per
ceniage to which they are entitled by law
for sales of the public lands for cash, at the
rate of $1 25 per acre, the said compensa
tion to be hereinafter paid by the assignees
or holders of such warrants.”
The third section of this act provides :
“That Registers and Receivers, whether m
or out of office at the passage of this act.
“OeceatlY Sucked In.”
A man in Philadelphia recently married
a woman under the impression that she had
“the dimes,” but when he found that it was
uot so, he complained before the Mayor,
and was prayed for relief. The following
are the facts as elicited before the Police
Court:
A man with a pair of whiskers, or rather
a pair of whiskers* with something 'fair inly
i^embling a man attached to, them, appea
red before the municipal bench with accusa
tion against Clementine Derby, otherwise
Millet, who, according to the affirmation of
the complainant Abraham Millett, had
swiudled him out of his personal freedom
by iuduciug him to marry * her, the said
Clemeutiue, who proved afterwards, on
close inspection, to be a mere bundle of
false pretences. Abraham, the man of
whiskers, had become acquainted with Miss
Derby at a reputable boarding house, where
ihe l dy had fixed her temporary residence.
She had a tine snit of brown hair, charming
teeth, a due proportion of roses and lilies
in her complexion, an innocent maidenly
countenance, a good figure and a fortune
of forty thousand dollars, including a nee
plantation, ■tocked with n;nety;hree negroes,
somewhere out South. Some of these at
tractions was visiUie to Mr. Millett, but the
rice grounds aud the negroes never had
been seen by him: thev were merely ob-
or their legal representatives in case of jeets of faith, therefore. Miss Clementine
death, shall be entitled to receive from the
Treasury of the United States, for services
heretofore performed in locating military
bounty land warrants, the same rate of ser
vices provided in the preceding seetiou for
services hereafter to be performed, alter de
ducting the amount already received by
such officers under an act entitled “An act
to require the holders of military land war
rants to compensate the Laud Officers of
the United States for services in relatiou to
she location of those warrants,” approved
May 17tli, 1848: Provided that no Regis
ter or Receiver shall receive any compensa
tion out of the Treasury for past services
during any year, a greater compensation
than thau the maximum uow allowed by
law.”
Where parties may desire to avail them
selves of the privilege of having their war-
auts located through this office, as provi
ded for by the act of 28th September, 1850
they must take the necessary steps to pay
to the Register and Receiver the fees to
which they are entitled. The same course
must be preserved by persons remote from
the District Laud Officers in making appli
cation by letter to those officers. Without
the pavmentof those fees, the warrants can
not be located.
By the terms of this law the fees are as
follows :
For a 40 acre warrant, 50 cents each
For an 80 acre warrant, $1 each to
Register and Receiver—total 2 00
For a 160 acre warrant. $2 each to
Register aud Receiver —total * 4 00
J. BUTTERFIELD, Commissioner.
A gentleman iu the country who had
just buri d a rich relation, who was au at
torney, was complaiuing to Foote, who
happened to be on a visit with him, of the
very great expenses of a country funeral, in
respect to carriages, hat-bands, scarfs, <tc.
“Why, do you bury your attorneys
here ?’ asked Foote, gravely.
“Yes, to be sure we do ; how else ?”
‘Oli, we never dp that in London.”
“No !’’said the other, much surprised ;
„how ,do yon manage ?”
“Why, when the patient happens to die,
we lay him out iu a room over night by
himself, lock the door, throw open the sash
and in the morning he is entirely off'.”
“Indeed !” said the other in amazement ;
“what beoumes of him ?”
“Why, that we cannot exactly tell, not
being acquainted with supernatural causes.
All that we know of the matter is, that
tliere’s a strong smell of brimstone in the
* , ° . „
room the next morning.
A Puzzled Irishman.—Mr. O’Flagherty
undertook to tell how many were at the par-
tv. The two Grogans were one, meself was
two, Mike Finn was three, aud—and—who
the devil was four? Let me see (counting
his fingers)—the two Crogans was one,
Mike Finn was two, meself whs three—and
--bedad! there was four of us; but Saint Pat
rick couldn’t tell the name of the other.
Now its meself that has it: Mike Finn was
one, the two Crogans was two, meself was
three—and—and by my sowl, I think there
was but three of us, afther all.”
gave him such a particular account of the
property—the real estate especially—that
Abraham was quite satisfied with its reality.
After a rapid courtship, they were married;
aud then said Mr. Millett, “I found her
out.” Her fine hair was merely a wig,
and when this was off, her head was as na
ked as a sandy desert; au unvegatatiug Za
bara, without a single oasis. Her charm
ing teeth were all porcelain, her roses and
lilies, chalk and carmine; her exquisite fig
ure, cotton-wadding; and as for her maid
enly innocence,” observed Mr. Millett, very
ruefullv. “I fouud she had two children
boarded out in Jersey, one of which chil
dren is a dingy, curly-headed little fellow
that looks prodigiously like he had African
blood in him. Still,” said Mr. Millett, pur
suing the subject, “the thouguts of the rice
plantation out South, and the ninety three
negroes, afforded me some comfort; but it
warn’t long before I discovered that this
plantation was so confoundedly far ‘out
South,’ that there was no coming at it; and
as for her niggers, I guess she has none
except that little frizzly-headed chap that
calls her “mammy.” “I pity yonr oase Mr,
Millet,” said the Mayor, but we can do
nothiug for you. Your own imprudence
brought you into this predicament. You
were in such a hurry to secure your for
tune, that you got bit.” “Yes,” answered
Abraham, “bit indeed, and that by a wo
man that hasn’t atootb in her head that she
can call her own; for the dentist she bought
them from never was paid for them.”, “Set
tling that bill is a privilege thnt will belong
to you,” said his Honor, as Abraham, with
many a convulsive sob; left the il.dl of Jus
tice.
The Counsel of Women. —In conversa
tion I once held with an eminent minister,
of our church, he made this observation :
‘We will say nothing of the manner in
which that sex usually conduct an argu

men are often more to be relied upon than

‘Times without number you must have

you had been poring over for hours per

were hardly generous to allege that they
achieve these feats less by reasoning than
by a sort of sagacity which approximates

“The Bald-faced Chicken and
Buzzard.”
A married German was recently enlisted
in the army, whose ornithological knowl
edge was rather limited. Shortly after ouf
arrival at Fort- Waschifea, 0. N., a negro
went on a hunting excursion, aud toward*
evening returned with an Owl and a Tur
key-buzzard, the fruits of his labors during
the day. On entering the precincts of the
Fort, Sambo being observed by the Ger
man, (whose wife was ill) proceeded with
all possible speed to make a purchase, with
the intention of making some soup, fit for
‘Kaurtina.’ The following conversation then
took place:
•I shay, Vat will you dake for de pig-ey
ed chicken, and durkey ?’
‘Dis is no chicken, dis is an owl,’ replied
Sainbo.
‘Vat I cares how oldt he pees, I will have
him for soups mil mine Kautrina.’
‘Yah ! yah, yon is one done gone fool,
dis is owl 1 owl! and dis is buzzard,’ ve-
hemen ly exclaimed Ebony.
‘Vel dat pees no matter how oldt he pees
vot you dakes for dem ?’
‘Four bits, if you wan’t ’em.’
They were accordingly purchased, and
Houtz forthwith proeeeded to manufacture
a soup for his spouse, in the most approved
fashion. While the culinary process was
going forward, his olfactory organs were
smitten with a powerful effluvia, but the
only effect produced was the conclusion
that it would make *goot soup, for it ish
strong meats.’ The cooking over, Hontz
carried a bowl full to Kautrina, and then
proeeeded to help himself with a plentiful
supply. The first spoonful however, dam
pened his ardor, and a noise at the bed
caused him to turn his eyes in that direc
tion, when he observed his Kautrina busily
engaged discharging a cargo from her
6tomach. Whether from sympathy, or
what, I know not, Hontz commenced the
same delightful performance. As soon as
he coulcTfind breath to articulate, he burst
forth ip evident anger; ‘Vel Cot tarn dat
nigger say he was ouidt-—tarn him ! put
my Oot, he not 9ay he was ouidt dat he
pees rotten. Tam the bald faced pig-eyed
chicken buzzard!”
He has not made any big eyed chicken
or buzzard soup, since. - The above is liter
ally true. * F. A.
Family Intermarriage.—On tbia subject
the Fredericksburg News says :
“In the country in which we were raised
for twenty generations back a certain fami
ly of wealth and respectability have inter
married, until there, canuot be found in
three of them a sound man or woman. One
has sore eyes, another scrofula, a fourth
blind, a fifth bandy legged, a sixth with
head about the size of a turnip with no|, one of
the number exempt from physical or men?
tal defects of some kind. Y et this family
persevers to intermarry with each other
with these living monuments of their folly
before them.
It is often done ignorantly by the best
people. Young people never reflect upoii
consequences, and old people are too avarir
cious to forbid a match where money is
gotten.
Let the law reach it, and it will be stop
