For tko Argut, v.Bachelar't Bn.n To Vis Wok , - Will you pardon one unknown la you, who dam Iho presumption of offering seme weak defense, er rather apology, to (he jnat eeuiurei you liar be towed upon lb bochelor'i bono, through Um col umna of Till AaouaT Yet why need I to fear and tremble In preferring my petition to a lady'a gene rality, when that of the entire xi it to proverbial but, uniued to their eociety, and finding Idem in II my book of poetry o eminently extolled, it Is but natuial that I il'ould tremble with diffidence, even such a would benet the humble peasant that Blight oume lo Iho presence of the moat mild and benignant tovereign, to pray of him auch boou ae the king might moat willingly grant, and the peas Mt moat gladly receive. Then taking your par don for granted, I enter upon my defeuoe of Bach- olor'a Hall without further delay, and ahall do lhi rather by seeking to lutroduco you into tlio myste ries of lie hiatory, than by knocking you down, ai I would a mato antagonist, with hard arguments. You bava drawn a moat graph io picture of my home. Tli worm fence around tlio yard, while yet the rail are new, lie hair In ruina, what by the bitching of unruly horsist the rooting of pigs, d the frequent clambering over it of mytelf and visitor for want ofa gate, the rails which once lay ao straight and perpendicular, now form in some pie ' co a aort of unsubstantial aleps, or lie acattered round in coufuaiou. 1 No clean hom crass spreads ! carpet of green relvet before iho door: no How. en of varied hue and rich perfume are woven into Listv harden and fiirtirM on Ihe rn mtmv ir. .

Within is tlioatonelcse hearth, the scattered ashes, the disor dered pot and pans, the disarranged bunk, the legles stools,, broken table, dirty duties, juuk-bot-tie ouudlesliek and broken tobacco p'pe. Yes, that h my home. There, bke Selkirk on hi lonely - bland, l . .ii i ii i am mniiarcu oi a:i i survey. These inanimate objects, a cur dog and my own ; thoughts, constitute my kingdom aud its subjects. ' Hither returning, weary from tlie toil aud vexa tions of the day, no wife greets mc with such kind welcome ns, "Peter, w hat on the livin yartli made ; yon so late ; here it i sundown, on I no wood chop ped, mi water folched, and you expect, me ter have yer snpk.r ready ! I do think ycr emu of the inM audueionest, luzy, hateful m n I ever ed in utl my burn days." Rut uncomplaining Silence, sweet sister of Solitude, call forth the glad Echo . iv yicci my nHiirmiigiuoisieps, us-.etisiur my cuee ry whistle, and repeats my uiimelodions toug. No no'xy ehildren disturb the quiet of my thoughts, or liwke the sliadi of n'ght hideous with their howls. Tho frugal meal is d.sputccd, well seasoned with auch aimplo condiments us a good apatite suggests, ud as labor and a cheerful mind aflbrd ; for my buffet contaius no such acids as the vinegar of a vi rago's scowl ; no such rich sauces as a yearling iu- fuiil' squall. Now for my pipe, and whilo Boots, . my dog, with his tongue for a dish-rag, performs upon my tin and dclf the humble dutiea of a liouse maid, the fragrant narcotio weed is dually chop- . ped, orowiled into the bowl, an ember is procured, the stool is aided by the pot to support my weight, and my old pipe and I sit duwu to a cheerful fami ly conversation on the ordinary topics of the day, or such aa after reading your article we held upon matrimony. , "Well, my pipe," any I, "you are a poor com panion, dirty, ugly, and broken, silent, aobby, and smoky. I think I must lay you aside, and choose me from the loving fair one somo sweet, tender wife to soothe my weary hours, one whom I cau love, cherish, and protect, and who will to me pay love, honor and obedience." " The old pipe sighed, then sobbed, and poured u r i 1 1 . , , win, iiviii ui-i mount a vumiue oi snioito 01 love, teudurncs, and obedicuce, which said plainer than .word could say, "Jly dear Peter, six months I liave been your companion; I have been ever ready at your bidding, have gone through 6re and smoke in your service, I have kissed your lips often, nd often, when you required my caresses; you have flown to me when sad, and I have comforted .you. In anger and anguish I have soothed you, in solitude I have been your companion, your lightest breath hoe been my law. For you I have conjured up clouds aud cities, the rolling sea, the wiuged hip, the tall tower, marching squadrons, and Alp ine mountains whatever is grand, magnificent, and beautiful in the world of fancy, I have fash ioned to your admiring eye. I have borne your petulance, when through your own negligence I Cwu.'d not perform your service, aud you rudely said, 'The blasted thing won't draw.' I have boruo contempt, neglect, hard usage, and blowa, aud have not grown jealous when you dallied with neighbor Hodge' meerschaum, or sported with some light Creole cigar. What woman, aay what woman would be all thia to you f" The poor thing aobbed, sighed, wheezed, and vent out, leaving the room filled with it presence, end perfumed vith it odor. The smoke caught my eye my feeling were moved, and I wept. Kilt nn afif hmA A'mA - .1 i - m.w uw iiiutiicrirsfl ciimu wanea aver cold form, adding a double anguish to my fgrieT. The ashes fell lightly upon the floor, not the dull, heavy clods which rattled npon the coffin of my tore, my life, any very being. 'Confidently I lay aside my pipe, "not a one without hope," fori know that at a moment, in a twmkliBg of an eye, it will be changed, and it will put on a new life ; it will glow aad breathe again. I turn to my books. There you are, y near Miakpe;ire ; 1 open yonr leaves, and, like the ri aing of curtain, my cabin is a theatre. Before me move the swarthy Moor, the dreamy German, 'the noble Roman, the hardy Scot!, the ambitious Briton, the vivacious Frenchman, the passionate illalian, and the haughty Spaniard. . AU human , 'nature is here spread out to view : every passion, sentiment, and emotion, lies before me, like the subject on the snrgeoa'a table, ready for dissection. 1 converse with the ancients, and mingle among the moderns, tread the Athenian walk, march up .he Capitoline Hill, and thread lb maxy atreeta of London. 1 converse with king, jest with clowns, JrUcn to toe aentenoe of the law from the month of justice, er lake nurse upneTko hghway, nrak ove or light battle. Man, hi thoughts, hi words, hi deeds, bis chances, aland here embod ied Ibis is hi hl.tory, hi portrait, hi statute it is hi nature. From these varied and exciting scene it can not be expected my nerve remain onshaken. No, my pipe, I will not revive) you tonight I fear such another inter iew aa onr last would bntiish that coy maiden, sleep, from my couch for the night, but I will lay mo down upon this rickety bunk, and woo the geutle companion of my blanket by reading dull, prosy essay from Bacon's tome of hoary wis dom.

It will bo seen by the following that the ruget Sound Courier lias materially altered its tone upon the subject of tempcraiico Hinco Mr. Gunn assumed tho entire control of the paper. We are truly gratified to sec thut tho amiable and excellent young gentleman n ho edits the Courier has fallen into ranks with the best and brightest por tion of earth's sons nnd daughters, who are laboring for the elevation and amelioration of the human race Wo havo long felt a deep interest in Mr. Gun.n's prosperity, knowing as wo do his many virtues, a:id we ardently hope that he will succeed in his present enterprise to the realization of his most sanguine expectations. The friends of temperance in Washington ought lo be lib eral in their patronage of his paper: Tempkrancb. This subject, which is now throughout many, portions of tho Union creating a feeling of anxiety for tho welfare of tho people nt large, is one which wo think is of vital interest to the peoplo of this territory, and although it has received a back ward blow at the hands of a majority of them at the laxt election, we hope to see no faltering. It needs discussion, for a thorough ono it Las not had. And while other ter ritories and states havo been doing great trood in the cause, our citizens have not been quite as fortunate in their efforts. We do not, most surely, mean to say no good has been done by the friends who have stood and labored for a brighter future, but that (heir exertions have not been crowned with as much reward, as have those of its friends in other portions of our land. Dut there are causes for these results, which every temperance man must see, nnd ones which must be removed to bring about those re sults so desirable to behold. In the eastern and northern states this question has gained strong ground, and fast realizing the fond anticipations of . its friends, aiding to banish that terrible evil, which has caused so much misery and sad ness around so many hearthstones where onco reigned only peace and happiness, and with a steadying arm help to restore many unhappv beings to a bolter enjoyment of life. Here, on our northwest coast, where every one who has the least ill or trouble runs to the maddening bowl to drown it, its best influences are needed : and, al though the time has passed for present leg islation upon it, it is not too late to help the movement along, nnd perhaps to do it the most good. . A law, however, which will keep it out of the country, we believe in one that keeps it from the hands of wicked men ; but one that can be evaded by which to suit ever occasion wo have no sympathy for, as much as we detest the use of spirituous liquors. It has been decided by the voice of tho people whether or not the traffic of spirituous liquors should be stopped, by their verdict pronouncing no law. Jiut we may be sure another will eventually de cide, that we shall endeavor to save our share of the thirty thousand drunkards who annually fill a drunkard s grave, out of our nation's three hundred thousand topers. E.W rosea Item. The Paria correspondent of the Times speaks of communications having taken place between the French and English Governments, arising out of complaints by Gen. Pelissier, of the want of com bination or of energetic support upon the part of b e English colleague.
