The following extracts froig a series of moral

The penny post, a few weeks age’
brought me a note whtfch ran thux:
The Bachelors’ Chib make their res
pects to their colleague, Mr. Howard, and
moldy him lhat (bey celebrate their anni
versary on Wednesday next, at the Bank
Coffee House. VenisfJft, wilh chaffing

aplentiful supply of Billy NRi’a’s twenty
eight years old Madeira/* Shall I go, or
shall I not? said I to myself. 1 certainly
dislike old bachelors, yet I have no aversion
to sip Madeira moderately; and as it is but
once a year. I’ll meet these members of (he
ancient regime , drink with them, -take Mp .
the cudgels of matrimony—rand who knows
but Lfflay make a convert, tho’ even on the
shady side of fifty. The hope of doing
good s and striking a pure spark out of the
tuify steel, determined me—and itt four,
precisely, I was there. Almost simultane
ously a beau of the old school, polished and
polite, adoring the fair sex, yet still unmar
ried, made his entree ; and, after four or five
i. modern bows, he squeezed me affectionate
ly by the hand, and was rejoiced to see
me. Here, thinks I, is a bachelor of unpar
donable celibacy.’ He is hoenemy to mat
rimony ; but has put off the day of marriage
so long, that it now presents ‘an awful ass
pect, And terrifies him, as the field of bat tie
alarms the acknowledged coward. The
room soon filled; There were,, some of
overgrown fortunes, of moderate possess
ions, of fat and jolly’ persons, .of lean and' -
lantern’d They were all well
dressed ; yet there” was a certaiq something
about'their apparel that had the air ofslug
gisb indifference, as if their wardrobe?
r;ghed for the superintending care of some
kind female: One
cfli ef was unhemmed; the ends of another
cravat were nibbled and ragged;
jiere and there a few holes peeped from,
the camhrick i ufil’s ; and a Waggling rent
was peiceptible in the heels of some stock
ings. How much care these 4 children of
a larger grow th’ seemed to require ; how
solitary they seehied to me, although their
faces were dressed with smiles. Nihh?*
hell soon announced the dinner; anti, to rt
they went—,noceremony-T-ndcomplimerits:
appetite and epicurism united to pin atten
tion to tj)e we'l stored table ; and the poor
creatures, m-all their movements, seemed
5o indicate the want qfsome female, whose
daily presence might refine tfieir tnarthfers,
control their apjTetiies, give a grace to their
actions and a polish to (hei r verse. The
old* wing, with, pipes and segrirs,
made itsappdaratige; & as Ihe bottle went
briskly round, and their old-clay'moistened,
revived aud invigorated, each mnn.'Antf
something to say in praise* nf a bachelor’s
life. “ Marriage, (said an old fellow, who
owned twenty brick houses in the citv,)
pshaw ! what man would surrender his
freedom—-give up the joys of celibacy—
subject himself to the eternal clatter of a
woman’s tongue, and a host of old tabbies,
in the shape of aunts—be stunned to death
with Bt'jublltng brats —ItarraSsed wfflk illness,
aCCoucbments. doctors.’ bills, and christen-;
inps ! Who would relinquish the happinessj
of being free, uncontrolled,and .nrrirairone!-1
Jed ! Here am I, happy as a lord ; I can |
drink as many bdlHes of Niblo’s stingo as I
please ; I can reel h .me, tumble myself in !
bed, hoots and all; no wife to upbraid me
for absence, scold me foroi 9ot, or turn rse i
from my ; pillow at eight in the morning ; 4

lt A“ bachelor lead* an easy life,
“ Few folks that are wedded live better.”
Hey, Howard, what do you say ? Am 1
right.old Chronicle? Do you not say ditto?”
—No, sir, said I, with great gravity, l am
not with you—l disapprove of your whole
position ; Ido not say ditto. A forfeit, a
forfeit! exclaimed the whole company.
Here’s treason amongst us—a 9py in our;
camp—an advocate for. matrimony ■ tine J
him a bumper of salt water —a cold bath ;
no punishment is too severe for such alar
ming opinions; Order, order! gentlemen,
exclaimed the chairman ; let us hear his
defence, let us treat him with decorum.
Come, Howard, said Van Snarl, your rea
sons, your reasons, my boy. Why, gentle
men, said I, although aware that l was io
dine with bachelors, l was not prepared Jo
meet a party hostile to matrimony. I my
self am a bachelor, “ ‘(is true, ’tis pity, and
pity ‘tis, ‘tis true ;” yet 5 1 cannot subscribe
Jo the correctness of doctrines such as I
’ ‘have just heard advanced. Man is a social
beiDgby nature; he was never intended to
be isolated, floating through the world
without ties of affection, of association, or
of kfiidreii; he has duties to perform to re
ligion, to country, and to morality—and all
these,point to marriage, as the great end
by which they may ife accomplished and
fulfilled. You boast of freedotn r of the joys
ofyotir table, and your unrestrained Jiber-
jtjfc- the savage, whose yell reverberates
through the forest, is equally as free ; he
becomes infuriated by ram, and basks in the
sun-beams in dignified intoxication—no soul
feels an interest for you, no soul dares to
molest hirn ; so far you are equal; But the
savage marries; he roves through the
woods with bis wife by his side ; he hunts
the fleet deer because his wife partakes of
life spoil,, and praises hi3 dexterity ; be
teaches his boys to become warriours, fa
miliarizes them to the bow and arrow, ami
tfikpqinted javelin ; the savage has social
relations, even in the moment of his brutal
intoxication: he is, therefore, your snperi
our. If you have no wife to control or di
rect your movements, you have no friend
who feels an interest for your health and
happiness; who sighs for your griefs, who
rejoic.es in your prosperity, who watches
your pillow in the hoar of sickness, who
administers, with her lair and soft band, the j
medicine for your health, and binds yourj
brows and soothes your agitation with (he ;
sweet kiss of affection. If you are thus free,;
you have no children whose growing vir
tues do honour to their sire, whose cheer-j
ful prattle blunts the edge of care, if mar
riage brings with it some privations, it am
ply compensates, by the additional comfort,
confidence, mutual respect and influence
which it carries in its train. Why then rail
at matrimony ? Instead of reeling home at
night, and encountering the rusty visage of
your wench as she opens the door for you,
and you sneak through a dark hall to your
comfortless and solitary bed, walk upright
and soberly home, there meet the cheerful
smile and cordial welcome of a fond wife,
a? she leads you to the ample fire, and there
enjoy (what you never ijrill, if you retain j
yourpreser,(/sentiments) the social converse i
and innocent hilarity of a lawful and love
ly companion.
The faces of the old bachelors began to
“ cream and mantle,” as I took my hat to
leave them; and as closed the door, Van
Snarl exclaimed, 44 Markee, there, sir, let
u? oeveiseee your rebellious face among as
again.” .... -. •. -C . - l’

The following letter was written by his Majesty
to Dr. Cornwallis, Archbishop of Canterbury, in
the year I*J72. It was';banded about in manu
script at that jiine, and there seems to be no
sonable doubt of its authenticity,
u My good Lord Primate, — I could not delay
giving you die notification of the grief and con
cern with which my breast wa? affected at receiv
ing. an authentic.!! information that row's have
made their way into your palace. At the same
lime.l must signify (o you my sentiments on this
subject, which hold these levities and vain disskia
tioios as utterly inexpedient, if not unlawfiig to
pass in residence for many centuries deVoted to
divine studies, religious retirement, arid the ex
tensive exercise.of charity and benevolence—l
odd, in a place where so many of your predeces
sors have led their lives in such sanctity as has
thrown lustre upon the pure religion they profes
sed and adorned. I'rom the dissatisfaction with
which yhn must perceive f behold these impropri
eties, not to sppak in harsher terras, and from still
more pious principles, I lrnst you will suppress
them immediately ; so that 1 may not have occa

or to interpose in a different manner. May: God
take yoar grace into his almighty-protection.”

Mar y Instances have occurred of rocks of con
siderable size being* found enveloped, in, round
bags of cotton ; and the cause of their being thus
deposited has as often been invidiously attributed
to dishonesty; this is, :iio doubt, owing to igno
rance in regard to the process of packing round
bags or bales of cotton. It is, almost invariably
the pnctice for every man who raises a bag of
cotton, to cause such mark to be put upon it as
will designate not only his name, but the name of
the gin where it is packed : hence every person
who commits is liable to be detected in the fraud.
It is sometimes charitably attributed to the; pack
er, and his master is screened. But a knowledge
of the process will satisfy every person that hun
dreds of rocks may get into the middle of bags of
cotton without either the intention or the know
ledge offraodinthe master or servant. To pack
a round bag of Cotton, (he open end of the bag is
wrapped or sewed over a strong hoop ; it is then
letdown through a circular apertufe in the cham
ber of the gin house, and suspended three or four,
feet from the ground ; the hoop being larger than
the aperture in the floor, holds the bag in suspen
sion. Light ginned cotton to the amount of 30
or 40 pounds at a time is then thrown into the
bag; the packer descends into the bag also, and
with a heavy pestle having a point like a sharp
ened handspike, packs the cotton round the sides
of the bag t which being dampened, -inclines the
cotton to adhere to it; and it is forced down at
the edges with great solidity : but it is not so in
the middle of the bag, notwithstanding
the weight of the packer, the cotton rises and re
bounds from the force applied at the edges: to
remedy this inconvenience is is customary, if not
invariably the practice to put some heavy sub
stance on the loose cotton between the packer’s
feet in the centre of the bag, to give density to the
cotton : when 561 b. weights are convenient, they
are often used for this purpose ; but generally a
round rock is used of from 40 to 60 pounds. As
often as a layer of 30 or 40 pounds is sufficiently
packed, the packer raises his rock upon the floor
above him, and emerges from the bag; then
charges it with light cotton, and descends with
Bis rock to repeat the process of packing. It is
easy to imagine hundreds of accidents or irregula
rities of business which might call the packer out
of his bag in haste, without his rock : and that the
same or another packer might Without remem
bering or knowing the rock to he left In, charge
the bag with anew layer, and thus envelope the
rock, without the slightest intention of fraud eith
er in the packer, the overseer, or the owner who
sends it to market. . ’ :}•';>/ ;.tj
Those editors who have noticed such circum
stances, arid attributed them to fraudulent inten
tions, with a view to discredit and dishonour the
planters of the southern states, will, it is presum
ed, be charitable enough to publish this elucida
tion. [ Pet Dee Gazelle.
During the period of President Washington’s
administration, a man, the friend and companion
of that hero, we believe throughout the whole
course of our revolutionary war, applied for a lu
crative, and for a very responsible office. This
man was at all times welcome to Washington’s
table—he had been to a certain degree necessary
to the domestick repose of a man who had for
seven;years fooght the battle* of hjs country, and
who had now undertaken the task of wielding
her political destiiiiCs. At all times, and all pla
ces, Washington regarded hist revolutionary asso
ciate with an eye of evident partiality and kind
ness. He was jocular, he was jovial, and he was
-a pleasant and unobtrusive companion. Being
somewhat straitened in his circumstances, he ap
plied to his old friend and benefactor for a lucra
tive nfioe in his gift. He had no doubt, of his
succejs, and his friends cheered him on the pros
pect -if iiis arrival to competency and ease. The
opponent of this gentleman was known to be de
cide#!? hostile to the politioks of Washington:
he hid even made himself conspicuous amongst
the /anks of. opposition to the cardinal policy of
our/revolutionary hero. He had, however, the
to stand as a candidate for the office, to
which the friend and favourite of Washington as
pifed. ■ He had nothing to urge in favour of his
pretensions, but strong integrity, promptitude
.ajid fidelity in business, and every quality, which
.is called into exercise, would render servite to
tie state. Every one considered the application
<X this rpan Hopeless; no glittering testimonials of
fierit had sac to present to the eye of Washing
'tjrttL fie w as known to be the political enemy qf
tjiat man; he was opposed to a favourite of the
General; and yet with such fearful odds, he dar
ed to,stand the candidate. What was the sequel
|of all this? The enemy-,of Washington was ap
i pointed to the office, and his table companion was
destitute and dejected. A mutual friend in
terested himself on this subject, and ventured to
speak to the President, and even to remonstrate
‘on the injustice of the appointment. Let,the
j wordr of Washington be notajd. 44 My friend I
; receive with a cordial welcome—he. is wdcome
‘to my houSe, and welcome to my. heart: but with
i all his good"qiiulities he is not a man of liusioeM.

An Irishman's initials.--#* Irishman meeting
a., rmquohitance one morning, after the usual sal
utations, -addressed him as follows : So, Barmy,
I see that my coutgthas made a d-—ld up
take this morning ” 14 Mistake ! how ?-” replied
the other. “ Why, man, it has by some accident
or other, got on your hack when it should have
been on mine.” “ Thunder and tombstones .
you tie/y me slate your cqat! Blood aud buttet
rnilk-1 if you dares wag your muzzle to that tune
again, I’ll muke every-bug on.your body a crip
ple for life.” The first, nothing intuViidated hy
the threats of his opponent, quickly replied, 44 No
squalls, Barney, no northwesters, but jhstbe aisy
and give me my coat, or Here is his worship the
Justice, and he shall decide whose coat it is.”
At that instapt the magistrate made his appear
ance, and Paddy, without any circumlocution,
lodged a detainer against the portion oft) is ward
robe he found astray, and.jhe other as loudly as
serted his right to the garment in question. The
magistrate having at length obtained.a hearing,
by silencing these noisy litigants, addressed’ the
coroplainer in the following terms;’ “ What is
your name, friend ?” “ Pat Purdie, place your
honour.” 44 Well, Mr. Purdie, what proof have
you that the coat in question is yours?” “ Plate
your honour, my initials are on it.” 44 Your ini
tials ! let me see them.” Pat took out his knife,
and ripping up a patf'of the sleeve at. the wrist,
took out two peas, which he placed in the magis
trate’s hand with an air of triumph. 44 What do
these mean, my friend ?” Was the first question.
“A/urie, your honour ? why, isn’t there Pat for
Pat, ami Pat for Purdie, sure ?” It is almost un
necessary to add; that the evidence was consider
ed Conclusive in Put’s favour, and the coat re
stored to its right owner. • - v V
