A meeting of the Bachelors' Club having

known and visited for over forty years.—
This portion is abont three miles in length/
and is termed the Old Cave. In 1850.a
new door from within thc old cave was dis-
covered, which extended thc cave united
to about twelve miles in extent In 1853,
a still newer discovery of ingress was ac-
cidently made, which has added eight or
ten miles thereto, and disclosed a plan of
formation more exteusive and more beauti-
ful than heretofore known Ttye cave con-
tains every kind of formation peculiar to
the Mammoth and other caves, besides
some verv peculiar and unique formation
found only in Wyandotte cave.

ly this morning thefe was added to
our company of travelers a pair who looked
very like runaways—the gentleman a tall,
raw-boned specimen of the half-horse, balf
alligator class, and the lady a full match
for him. Among the passengers from Na-
ilean is a solemn looking gentleman, who
ad all along been taken for a preacher.—
About "nine o'clock last night I was con-
versing with the "Reverend* individual,
when a young man stepped Up, and ad-
dressing him, remarked: "We are going to
have a wedding, an[d would like to have
on officiate." "All right, sir," he replied
aughipgly, and we stepped into the ladies'
cabin, when, sure enough, the couple
stood waiting.
There bad been some "kissing games,"
and several mock marriages gone through
with dnring the evening, and I supposed
that this was merely a continuation of the
sport; and so thought the "preacher," who
I could eee had a good" deal of humor in
him, and was inclined to promote general
good feeling and merriment Thc couple
stood before him a great deal more solemn
than was necessary in a mock marriage*
I thought, and the preacher asked the nec-
essary questions, and then proceeding in
thc usual way, pronounced them "husband

in quest of love ; nor to the street of in-
toxication.
The servitude of weakness: You Will
not drag yourself freely along, like your
pitiful comrade—that young old man, so
pale, debased, and broken down, whom thc
women ridicule. True love Will preserve
you from^ this, and concentrate your
strength.
The servitude óf melancholy; He who
is strong, and (íbes a man's work—he who
is going ant to his daily toil, leaves at home
a beloved oaeatare who loves and thiuks of
him alone, is by that very fact inspired
with cheerfulness, and he is happy all the
day.
The servitude of money : Receive for s
truth this exact mathematical maxim—Two
persons \fend less than ont.
I see many bachelors who remain such
from sheer fright at the expensiveness of
matrimony, Mid yet spend infinitely more
than a married man after all. They live
very dearly at the cafes and restaurants,
and at the theatres. Havana cigars, smoked
all day, are to their solitude an extravagant
occcstílty
Why do they smoke ? "To forget," they
say. Nothing can be more disastrous. We
should never forget. Woe to t'
evils, for they never seek thei
The man, the citizen who forgéts, ruins not
only himself but his country. A blessed
thing it is to have by your hearthstone a
reliable and loving woman, to whom you
can open your heart, with whom you can
snfler. She will prevent you from dreaming
or forgetting. We must all suffer and think.
In that is the true life of man.
Some men call themselves bachelors.—
But are they really so? I have long sought
but I have not yet found that mythical
thing. I have discovered that everybody
is married ; some by temporary marriages
only, it is true—secret and shameful these,
lasting sometimes for months, sometimes
and wife."
There was a good deal of fqn afterwards,
and when it was over I left the cabin, and _.
so did the "preacher," who remarkH to me i f°r a week, and often for an hour. These

The Fri.ice stepped into a barber's shop—
thc building yet extant on Hanover street,
although thc dramatis persona have all saade
their exit—to get shaved, just like other
metropolitans. The barber was out, but
his buxom 'and prepossessing wife was on

in as rcaHy a manner as could any barbed

jocular Prince-gave thc woman a guinea,

he laughingly said :
"Oh, keep it woman, keep it all, by the
laws I it's worth twenty guineas to be
shaved by a lass, and such a pretty one, too,"
and throwing his arms about the neck of
the barbcr-M*, his royal highness vouch-
safed licr a most natural and comely kiss.
Thc woman, of course, blushed and resisted,
and looked every awkward aud wrathy.
"Oh, never mind that, my pretty shaver,"
said tlie royal customer, "and wlien your
husband returns, tell him you've been kiseed
by the Prinre of Waks.
But thc embryo king, upon facing the
door to make his exit was met by thc bar-
ber himself, who, hearing what the Prince
said, raised his plebian foot, and gave his
retreating highness a most formidable kick,
exclaiming :
