TBASING A BACHELOR.
Sitting upon the edge to his bed, one
•old end frosty morning, Irina Thonqi
ion absently surveyed the prospeet, an
furnished by his ten-by-twelvc room,
tad the more lie surveyed the more per
plexed did he become.
Lian could scarcely rind Apollo in
manly beauty. What of that? Few of
M do. In fact, this morning, Linn's
claims in auoh direction were more
feeble than ever; and, to make it worse
lor thia poor old bachelor, his small mir
ror, which he unhappily faced, showed
him to be decidedly aging.
Bad waa it for him to believe it. He
Whi Mu aged at the OVid.-neu Indore him.
“Gad I Last night tliat saucy Lora
Mann, in her moat innocent, childish
manner, with the bare suspicion of a tear
in her levely blue eye, said * she was so
sorry to notice that I was getting to bo
quits hard of Iteahng I' The impudence
of these youthful ladles is surprising.
One consolation, her mother never in
sulted me in the years of her youth,”
and Linn laughed sardonically,
Linn Thompeon hail been a fearful
lady killer. He had only to look to con
quer in hia early manhood. Lora Mann's
mother had Ihmui one of his victims. Ho
hadaiways managed to keep just outside
of committing himself. Every young
bsauty whom he deigned to notice was
morally sure she was the especial object
of his regard, and wove rosy fanti <s
about the flirty fellow, which he in no
•enae was worthy of.
’‘Giri*, let's make all the sport of that
man that we enn. Onr mothers and our
aunts have shed many it bitter tear over
the didos he cut up when ho and they
were young. Now he is old, poor,
homely, and nobody cares anything
about him. Ytthis vanity remains. I
believe he hnaguiea In con hl win
his way to the affections of the fairest of
thefasr. Why ,he may even think hecotod

“The ooaoeited old goose ! ” cried
IMy Green, whose mother had also
thought of him with tears.
“Buch a homely creature 1 ” said an
other, surveying her youthful chamit in
th<( mirror. “I can’t bear to have him
approach me. He is to old to lire.
Why don’t he die ? ”
Thia conversation took place in the
room of Mrs. Bangs’ tasUfnl
trcidence, on the evening preceding
introduction to our hero, dear

“ Will you take a few turns with me ?”
said Linn, who hail a great reputation
as a partner in a dance.

would not be caught dancing. Ask

away, smile- al. aver her lovely face; by
a youth as handsome as herself.
Poor Linn! What did this sort of
treatment mean ? He nibbed his head
in perjiiexity. He at last made a busi
ness of tinding out Although the older
•allies—young when ho was—were po
litely willing to receive slight atten
tions from him and exchange th*
usual amount of small talk, not one of
the young ones would trouble her giddy
head about him. They let him severely
alone; they would neither dance nor
sing with him, nor play any of his selec
tions. Even Mim Bnethcn refused to
accept him as a partner—with thia ex
cuse, however :
“I think we are too old to make such
au exhibition of onr.«lvea. Dancing
belongs only to youth aud beauty, m
my opinion. Mrs. Bangs insfeteil upon
mv oreaenoe. I’d rather be sitting in
•ny cozy little parlor, with my books
and knittings work."
‘‘Faith! I believe J had—l mean
the book part of it, of course," h-i im
ouisivelv ndded. impressed by the solid
goon sense m mown m ner remark, an<i
whiclrjtlso l>e«med from her Leiieat, re
liable countcnan.’c.
" Miss Buetiion. you are the bast-look
ing woman here,’ he added, wondering
why ho never thought of her as an at
tractive woman before,
Blui inugliv-d low aud sweetly, and as
if his compliment were comical indeed.
“I know just how much I deserve
that. Don't think I care because none
of these young tieanx think of inviting
me to dance, They ought to prefer these
lovely girls.”
Linn seated himself beside her, and
soou was embarked on a most agreeable
conversation.
“ Lily, did you essay to make a matci:
when you resigned our ancient flirt to
♦he tender mercies of Mirs Snethen ? ”
“Miss Snetliep isn’t so foolish, Lora.
Wo would n-cipt him matrimonially
quite as rwulily as she. She is one of
those ru.o, good women, who remains
single from choice. I spprehend."
“ You niixin’t do anything of the kind.
She, instead, so immersed herself mi the
cares aud interests of her parents, mar
ried brothers and sisters, that aho had
not suflL-ient time or thought for a pro
per ‘kittling down' for hcraelf."
"Aiirtu iiiocy thanking her haltemmgh
for her sclt-inmolation,” put in Mrs.
Bangii, who hid listened amusedly.
• *««•••
But we hav» left Linn quite too long
silting by the adeof his be.l the morning
succeeding Mrs. Bangs’ musieale.
He had not slept a moment since hi*
return.
“I am growing old fast," he solilo
quized, giving another look athia reflec
tion in the giasa. Au ol<l bachelor, bald
headed and long-necked, is not a very
nttnu-tive object to gaze at. liming,
with a sigh he finished dressing, and
then hnrried lielow, where imjiatietitly
awaited him hia landlady, who, Ik-cmuho
of her dejendent family, lemriled him
cheap. Hlie liked him jmiuiing well,
poor woman. Hh« would have liked
any other man quite as well who seemed
to present a chance for relief, ro heavily
did her burden of care ami labor pre**
upon her.
“Did you enjoy the party?" ah*
asked, passing a enp of coftoe, anxiety
depicted in hsr care-worn far*.

answered He was rather inclined to
repel her conversational advances, deem
ing her hm inferior, socially, and quite
realizing her interest in him.
“Once I used to enjoy parties," ahe
said, with a sigh. “Then I was young
and happy.”
“I want to ask a question," put in
Bobby Wright, the widow’* eldest hops,
; and the youth placed an inquiring ami
much !" treaded face within range of
' the lioarder's eyes.
“Ask away, Bobby ” imhilg- ntlv.

“ Tell me, quiok."
“11l cowhide you first, yon impudent

"What do yon think of domestic
life ? ” waa Linn’s aatoniahing rejoinder.
“The happiest kind is the uuareat

mundane sphere. Ah, 1 thought you d
come to it some day. Wllo'll the lady

“ Queer statement, that last.”
“ Why so? I flatter my—”
"Yes, I dare say, and it’s the crying
sin of your life. Put it away, tram lie

"Old?” haughtily, donbtingly.
" Why, yoe, old. Why Linn, whan

"Here's a letter you dropped cornin'

said Bobby Wright.
“Thanks." and Linn flushed os he
thought bow easily this letter might have
exposed him to the ridicule of his land
lady. How ho blessed Bobby.

Thirty years ago a few persons of for
eign lurtli spja>*red in the streets with
hair on the upper lip, and were objects
of curiosity and sometimes of public
ridicule. In 1860 some of the young

muatoshee, but for some time no clerk
would venture to irritate Ummoo. Iu one
case a merchant on Pine street who had
just engaged a clerk for twelve month*,
or during good liehavior, discharged him
for wearing a full beard, claimiag that
the adoption o< the fashion laid the
clerk open to diamiaaal under the good
