Old Baehelors.

An exchange says: “If our Maker thought it wrong for Adam to live single, when there was not a woman on the earth, how criminally guilty are old .bachelors] with the world inily o! pretty a-i.rls!” The Savannah News meets the railing accusation': “Ever since the days of Adam, old bachelors have been the butt of everybody's ridicule. \Ye protest against it. There is a vast, difi'erem e 'between Adatn and the old baclieloi sos our day. Adam could afford to marry—many bachelors now-a-dayi cannot. What, with crinoline, five-huntjler-dollar shawls, diamond bracelets and pin money, it is no Mini'll underiaking at this age of the World. Eve bad no choice—it -Was Adam or nobody. : She had no chance to get up a flirtation, for there was no one to flirt with. Seeing no other means of tantalizing her husband— a feminine peculiarity fjronrthat day to this—she got him into a sic rape by eating the forbidden- fruit. ‘OTd bachelors are criminally guilty,’ are they! Give old bachelors the same chance Adam had, and our word for it, a majority of them would put on matrimony in no time.
