THE LAST BACHELOR.
Not a divorce stiring—-but a great many in em-
bryo in the shape of iuarriages.——Moiti—:‘s BYRON.
It was on New Year’s Eve in I820, that
twelve young prof. ssional uen sat round the
table of a club room, at supp:-r. The cloth
had been rt.-.tuoved and n.»thiu_<,,r was left on
the mahogany but an expressive black bottle,
and at single thin spititut-lle looking gltss to
each fl|t.‘l'lll)et'. They had drank up to Gail-
laghefo best.
The Old South struck eleven, and the last
hour ofthe year was liullcrtl by an upt‘ua:l-
ous welcotne.
‘A bump»-r, gr-ntlernenf said Hurry St.
John, the ‘sad dog’ of the club, ‘brim your
be-alters. my friends, and ll-‘l e\'rt‘y oxau bu

year passes owr.’
No, ll0l titnidly rt-tnonsiratt-d Erna st

versity, who sat rrtodeslly at the bottoin ol
the table; no. no! it is a sad hour, but it

Push back the bottle! The dark eyes ofthe
handsome. student flashed as La looked a-

Whatt’s the use! thundered Torn Corlies,
who till the third bottle had not spoken :1
word, and from sundry such symptoms was
strongly suspected of being in love, who
would drink it? not I, 'f.tith l V\"h .1? sit

The proposition was l'CC9l\'t“(l with :1 shoot
of universal approbation. The vintgatr was
ordered, with pen, ink and paper. Gourl..y
wrote out a bond by which every tn.~mbt-r
bound himself to drink it. in case it fell to
his lot, on the night the last mm, sstvc bitu-

It was on the last night of I830, that a
gentleman, slightly corpulcnt, and with here
and there a grey about his it»-triples. .-utdown
alone at the club table in stI‘ccl, with
ti dusty bottle and a single glass before him.
The rain was beating violently against the
windows, and in a pause of the gust, as he
sat with his hands thrust t.leepl_v into his
pockets, the solemn tones Oflhe Old South,
striking eleven, reached his car. He started
and seizing the bottle, held it up to the light
with a contraction of the muscles of his face,
and a shudder ofdisgust quite iut-oruprehen-
sible to the solitary servant who waited his
pleasure.
You may leave the room. VVilli:tm said he
and as the door closed, he drew from his
pocket 21 stnoky tinie.-stained manuscript
the table. After sitting a moment and light-
tlifficnlty, he filled his glass from the bolt! -,
and drank it with a sudden and hysterical
ulp.
