THE POET'S COKXEIt.

Pur the Indiana American. The Joys cf Single Life! EY MITCHELL VACL. I sing the joy? of single life For I'm a single man, Lei him take to himself a wife Who wishes, would, or can ; As for myself, II rather be Jusl noic, from Cupid's clutches free. AI though I love the ladies well, God bless their eyes of beauty ! Would like to see them thrive and dwell In Hymen's bonds f duty Yci unto all now be it known. .1.' present, I would live alone! No ! no ! I cannot live alone, For that would selfish be, I'd have my ev'ry act and tone From that base passion free, And live and friendly be to ail That moves on this terrestrial ball ! But I would single Le and roam ' The earth, and ne'er be hind'red, I'd have the world to be my home Its people for my kindred, And thus I'd pass my fleeting day I:i doing good to all away ! It may be, some young lady fair, Who seeks to be a wife, Shall ask '"Pray, Sir, will you cosipare The joys of single life Willi that of to;(&d-b!psedness ? IJ like to know, I must confess !" As to the latter life, dear Miss, Willi it I'm unacquainted, And therefore know nought of the bliss That married folks have painted ; Dm as regards a single life, My thoughts are free my reasons rife. The single man can roam at large Go whereso'er he pleases, Ey steamer, stage, horseback, or h uge, In summer's cooling breezes Or winter's cold, and leave behind Naught that will mar his peace of mind! The married man must settle down Into a narrow compass, And if he seeks to leave the town There's sometimes such a " rumpus" Among his little ones and wife That makes him sigh for single life ! Well, since I've thought the matter o'er, It may be I'm mistaken ; And, ladies, I must own, therefore, That my belief is shaken. And that, perchance, in Nature's plan, led any be a nurrie I mi!

'prove that, and I'm your man. Many a Kood day ao should I have been married, but was afraid I was not able to maintain a wife.' Maintain a wife! Citizen Bachelor, you ""stake the matter quite; The Creator i!;d not send the ladies here to be your ' '. but your hc'p-mites.
