A Paradise for Bachelors.

--The La Crosse (Wisconsin) Democrat says:"There are in this city two hundred and eleven marriageable girls — sweet, beautiful and accomplished. To capture these fairies, there are, in all, one hundred and twenty young beaux, forty-two of whom don't care for girls; thirty-seven the girls don't care for; fifteen who are too busy making money to marry, and the balance are engaged. What a harvest of kisses and goodness waiting the license — gold ring and minister."
