The cynosure of to-day is those teach teach-.ere - .ere teach-.ere and other persons mentioned in the items of that article refer referred - red referred to. They are enjoying the state of celibacy and are com committing - mitting committing ao 6ih. unless they are depriving some handaome young lady of her privilege of connubial happiness. I, as a disinterested parson take the responsibility upon myself to act as represen representative - tative representative of these respectable gen gentlemen. - tlemen. gentlemen. I call them respecta respectable - ble respectable gentlemen, because they are the flower of Starr township. Where could there be another equal number selected that would cope with these in character, de decorum - corum decorum and respectability ? No where in the township. I feel that the said' named persons owe tho author of that piece a tribute of respect. They should agre on a rendesvous and form into a body as a whole aud go to the author and return to him their devotion of fhanks. Give honor unto him to whom honor is due. He has made you conspicuous by calling the attention of the fair sex to your present relation to humanity. Undoubtedly, he meant well, but he shows a lame lameness - ness lameness by not knowing that the ladies in "upper ten" are belter acquainted with these young man than he himself. If.any lovely damsel wishos to join in the holy bonds of matri matrimony - mony matrimony with a gentleman, she wants to mako her choice from this goodly aumber, for I am familiarly acquainted with some of these young men, aud the rest I know by reputation, and can vouch for their genial disposi disposition, - tion, disposition, good sense, and tender pa pathos. - thos. pathos. No young" lady will ever ever-receive - receive ever-receive a warmer embrace from anybody else than when en encircled - circled encircled in the loving arms of one of those wholehearted and sound principled gentlemen. May truth and wisdom guide my pen while I am writing in behalf of these young men!

This thing of trundled-bed nrchius getting married before they are dry behind the ears is follv. They feel an aehing void that nothing but the hymenial bond will ever fill. They are un unsound - sound unsound in judgment, and begin their work without any definite aim and end in failure. I con conjecture - jecture conjecture that ther anthor of that article has married too young and now sees his folly. It is but natural when one man gels bored to bore as many others with the same thing as possible. I desire that ihe author may live long and be a nucleus around which other groat men may unite to make themselves famous. May these brave boys in the state of celibacy give due eulogy to the author fos his greatness. May they, like him, become the stars of all earthly greatness. May they enroll their names on the pages of God's album of eternal white, where gem.3 of honor may adorn their souls and 'flowers of glory may entwine their hearts like constellations of stars in the dome of heaven. Now, bachelors, be wise love the author of that article, who has presented you so conspicu conspicuously - ously conspicuously to the eyes of the fair ones of God's handiwork.

right. I have looked carefully over the field and I find no man the peer of Henry B. Payne in all the qualities and qualifications requisite in a President. I was opposed to Mr. Payne, I cannot tell why, except that he was an aggressive Democrat when 1 was a devoted Whig.

His character political and j peroonal, is without reproach, his Democracy is life long and con consistent; - sistent; consistent; his ability without a su superior. - perior. superior. All sections, classes and factions can support him. All would feel confidence that his administration would be pure, prosperous and marked in ils ability; no administration would more firmly embed the party in the confidence and affection of the people. The few idiotic Democratic mutterings that are heard against him would subside aud those who utter them would join in the general demand for Ills election. Mr. Payne has said he is not and will not be a can candidate; - didate; candidate; that does not mean that he will not accept a nomination. He has never thrust himself up upon - on upon the people as a candidate he never will. He has never re refused - fused refused to serve his country when his party demanded his service; I believe he never will, while blest with active, robust health as now. 'JjieimerilejtaiwA. hear occasioaally about his age, is unworthy even of tho chagrin of disappo'intment. With Henry B. Payne as our candidate we will succeed. A Democeat. Good Advice. It was only the other day that a party of knights of the green cloth, seated around the stove in A Second street saloon, were dis discussing - cussing discussing the merits and demer demerits - its demerits of a pawn broker named Solomon, who does business in South Laramie. All agree that the old fellow was cloir than one's undergarment, and never let a dollar get out of his fing9rs without knowing that the recip ient left the- equivalent office in his liands as security- "1 tell vou boys," said one, "if old Death himself should call on Soloman and oflet'-a new lease ot life for ten dollars, he'd make the old chap open his over coat and exhibit his dry bonea before he would condescend to dicker with him at all.

The bet was made and the money put up in the hands ofone of the boys, and the new arrival accompanied by one ot ths party, started lor Solomon's place of business. Arriving there the would-be borrower entered while the other man remained on the outside, but looked thro' the window to. see that nothing in shape of a "security" changed hands. The pawnbroker was soon made aqtiainted with the terms of the bet. "Now," said the ap applicant, - plicant, applicant, "'you lend me twenty twenty-five - five twenty-five dollars, and of course 1 win fifty dollars, then 111 return your money and also give you half I win."
