, THE Si&CULE Biff.
He meets the smile of young and old, he wins tin
pfaise of all.
He is feasted at the banquet and distinguished at
the ball;
When town grows dull and sultry, he may fly t<
green retreats,
A welcome visitor at twenty country .seats;
He need not seek society, for do what’er he can,
Invitations and attentions will pursue the single
man. *
n ifesfgun wu h CM ißtti
Fathers and brothers anxiously attempt his taste t<-
suit;
O’er meadows without number’tis hi* privilege to
shoot;
Political opponents to his principles concede;
He quaffs the finest eau de vie, ho rides the fleetest
steed;
And never yet .were families, since the world* first
began,
United, blest, and fond as tho*e who court the sin
gle man.
The pnce of bread, the price of bonds on him inflict
no ills.
He fears no winter avalanche of tradesmen's lengthy
bills;
“Academies’ and “colleges” he passes calmly by,
Nor casts on '‘ruination shops” a sad and tfiuid eye*
The rates of “life insurances” he never cures to
scan-,
“Trustees” and “jointures” boast no.power to rack
the single man.
But years steal on, and he begin with careful folks
to class,
And shuns the pic-nic scramble, and dinner on the
grass,
And dreads the cold, spare chamber, and the crow
ded hall of mirth;
And loves the spreading easy-ehaii, and blaziug
quiet hearth,
And votes warm rooms, and early hours the wisest
safest plan;
But home affords few comforts to the ailing single
man.
He locks a true and kindred heart his joy and grief
to share,
He lacks the winning tenderness of woman's gentle
care;
No children gather round him, a beloved and lov
ing train, •
'Eager to win their father’s smile, to Boothe their
father;* pain;
He rates his poor re'ations as a mercenary clan, —
Attachments come not ready-made to cheer the sin
gle man.
Hestire the fire, Undraws the blind, and counts the'
clocks dull chime,
Acquaintances sometimes att with him five minutes
at a time;
“Longer they really Cannot stay: bo nervous he
has grown,
It seems a charity to go, and leave him quite alone!”
No earnfcet eyes to his is mi tied, his changeful looks
to scan, '
The bland physician’s queries must suffice the sin
gie man.
Ye ”elijrtblcß’’ ponder; to my warning lay attend.
Flirtations, waltzes and duets, one day must have
• an end:
0! wait not then* till prosiness and peevishness
shall come! v
Choose in the summer-time of life a bride to bless
your home^
Let chaperons for others weave the sly and subtle
plan,
And only look with pity on the flattered single man!

The Border Ebrroft.—The editor of the

his agreeable vocation, as conductor of a

.editing a paper ! Charming*, agreeable in
a horn 1 Fascinating, attractive oqoupa
tioij, but so difficult to appreciate. How
nicely and smoothly one gets along with*
out an “onpleasantness l’’ For instance in a
recent issue, we referred directly to a ruffian
known as Captain Prescott and incidentally
to a guerilla named Al Cage. We did this
in justice to ourselves and the community
at large. Toe other day, while quietly
seated in our sanctum) taxing our brjain for
more copy* in response to , the everlasting
cry of the “devil,” the two above named
villians, one of them armed with a hatchet,
and the other with a bjwie*»knife of
dimensions, made a violent attack upon our
person. The only alternative was to tight
or die. We accordingly seized a large
knife* about two feet long, used for cutting
paper, and bled our assailants pretty freely*
They’ sued for mercy. We spared their
worthless lives* and told them to dnst, aini
they got up and dusted. We would take
this occasion to state that if they or any
one else attack us with the intension of
doing us bodily harm, we will shoot them
dead in their tracks, or cut their throats
from, ear to oar.

Horrible Outrage lit Netvfort Corioty* *
From information received frmn a private
source, we are enabled to give the purtloO*
lain of a most horrible crime recently
committed in N.eyvton county, On last
Saturday night about ten o!clock vMr-s.- t
(we suppress the name), a widow lady,
who with thVee children, resided near Cqu*
yers, iu Newton county, was sitting in her
house entirely alone, as regards grown pet
sons, when she Was startled by a lohd
rapping at the door. # Sbe immediately
went to see'who the late visitor could be
but took the peTcau-tion to inquire first the
name and errand. A negro man froth ffrfli*
out replied that it-was- William Smith, and
wished to enter in order to get a light
for his pipe. Naturally suspicious the lady
refused to admit hind but handed a light
through the wiudow. As soon as he Iwfd
received it the negro went off and Mrs.—
closing the blinds, returned to the fire side.
A few minutes afterwards she was fright--
cued by hearing a tremendous rattling’iatet*
the window which she bad just shut. Rush*
ing to see What was the matter- she waaC
accosted by- the same negro who had beett '
there previously, and who told her that if
