O. C. “ Cock-a-doodlo-do! Now,

mean? Here am I returning, care
worn and exhausted, from the excite

instead of which, I discover yon in the
midst of riot and dissipation. Madame,
insult not my penetration by deuying
it—I alarm that you are having a

Mrs. Biddy, (apprehensively.) “Not

in quite accidentally, and so—for you

r
C., Esq., (majestically'.) “Peace,
hens. Madam, what does all this cack
ling folly mean?"
[Exeunt hens, in indignation.]
“Mrs. B. C., it has become nceces-
sary, at this stage of our matrimonial
career, that I should state, in mild but 1
unmistakable terms, my opinions re
garding the appropriate sphere and
duties of henhood.
“ First, self-devotion : It has been
the decision of all rooster-kind, for ages,
and therefore cannot be denied, that
the crowning virtue of the hen char
acter is disinterestedness. A true hen
should be patient, self-forgetful, obedi
ent, tenderly solicitous for her hus
band's little wants, delighting wholly
ami solely in the graceful and pleasant
duties that cluster round the domestic
nest. On the contrary, I find you
thiuking only how to gratify your own
sf-lhsh tastes and desires, instead of
displaying (as might naturally be ex-
pectedj some little sense of loneliness
and melaueholy at your husband’s
absence ; I return from a visit of nearly
twelve hours, and find yon literally re
joicing ! Madam, I ask of you, is this
true henhood ? *
“Second: A retiring position, a
delicate shrinking frem contact with
the coarse and unsympathizing world,
an exclusive indifference to all without
the sacred circle of the domestic nest.
On the contrary, I find you gadding
among the other hens of the yard,
making appointments, sending invita
tions. Again I ask of you, madam, is
this true henhood ?
“ Third: Freedom from curiosity,
a true hen never evinces the slighest
interest in the affairs of her neighbors
scarcely in her own ; she never inquires
concerning the whereabouts or actions
of her husband, being perfectly assured
that, wherever lie be, and however
appearances at the time may seem to
tell against him, he is ever acting with
a view to the welfare of the domestic
nest.
“ On the contrary, what do I find
kf the truth, ip regard to yourself?
t a rooster raises his voice within
hall a mile of the yard, but you are
able to name lam ; not a hen lays an
egg, but you begin to cackle.”
Mrs. Biddy (meekly.) “Teelaid
an egg! cut, cut, cut, cut-a-a-a-a.

egg.

“Cut,

that the crowning virtue of henhood is
disinterestedness.”
Mrs. Biddy (meekly.) “Have a
worm, dear?"
0. C., Esq., (solemnly.) “ I
will.”
SCENE THIRD.
Mrs. Biddy C. has been setting for
three weeks. O. C., Esq., appears iu
the distance, parting with one of his
numerous female friends; the tones of
his voice fall faintly on Mrs. Biddy’s
ear.
0. C., Esq., “ And now, sweetest
of hens, farewell! and may all the
stars of heaven, and all the saints of
the barn-yard, ">eet to register the day
when your anile first dawned upon nay
Weary life, and made me thfe ‘Happiest
of roosters. Farewell.”
O. C., wends his homeward way.
“ Good evening, Jack ; monstrous fine
hen, that. Just been parting from her
Or monvbe you did not notice her fine
points. Quite fond of ine, too, I assure
you. Still in tears, you will observe
—ahem ! Cock-adoodle-doo!"
O. €., reaches the domestic nest
Mrs. Biddy (feebly.) “ Oh, I’m
so glad to have somebody to speak to.
I have n’t stepped off the nest, nor
seen a creature since sunrise. How
do, my dear? Anything new going on
in the yard ?”
A long pause. O. C., Esq., appears
to be suddenly overwhelmed with
depression and silent gloom.
Mrs. Biddy. “ What’s the matter,
sir ?”
0. C., Esq., (in a terrible voice,
and .walking like Othello.) “Matter l
madam, behold !” Inserts his bill un
der his left wing, and produces a roos
ter's tail feather.] “ Do you recognize
that, madam? Do you acknowledge
an acquaintance with the chicken-hear
ted catiff who dropped it ? Are you
aware that I found it within three feet
of the domestic nest ?”
Mrs. Biddy (lauguidly.) “ Did
you ? I didn’t notice it.”
' O. C., Esq. “Peace, hen, and
iisten! while in calm but decisive
terms I strive to impress upon your
mind the enormity of your conduct
Has it not been decided, I ask you
madam, has it not been the opinion of
rooster-kind for ages, and is it not
therefore undeniable, that (after dis
interestedness) the one thiag needful to
the female character is excessive mod
esty ? A true hen is so strictly and
severely virtuous, that the slightest
attempt at intimacy from one of an
impropoper sex, though disguised be
neath the specious mask of friendship,
will excite in her breast the extremest
aversion and horror. On the contrary,
what do 1 find to be the case in regard
to yourself? Only yesterday, on re
turning unexpectedly from a little
party, I beheld you in animated conver
sation with my brother! Heavens!
madam, am I to be longer the victim
of such duplicity ? No! sooner would
I sacrifice at once the domestic nest,
and fling thy lifeless body oh! oh!
misery '.violence! revenge! “Frailty,
thy name is hen !”
Mrs. Biddy gets fidgety on he nest.
“ Oh dear hear me, I’m so tired!”
Silence for half an hour.
Mrs. B. (in gentle desperation.)
“ My dear, do you. think you would
mind looking to the nest a minute,
while I ruu aud pick up something ? I
have n’t taken a mouthful to-day.”
0. C., Esq., (starting upiu doubt )
“ Madam, have I heard aright ? Do I
understand that you have distinctly
offered to shift upon your husbaud the
little duties of the domestic nest ? Are
you going to step from your sphere,
madam ? Do you mean to be a hen’s
rights hen, madam ? Have 1 not again
and again impressed upon your mind,
that female selfishness alone is at the
bottom of these impious doctrines?
And what, on the contrary, according
to the decision of all rooster-kind,
should be the real pride and ambition
of henhood f Disinterestedness; a true
hen glories in little crosses and trials;
for, without temptations, she perceives
that there can be no virtue; without
trials, no patience; without affliction,
no resignation, which is so lovely in
the female character. A true hen,
situated as you are, would not only re
joice that Providence had soon fit to
perfect her with trials, but, with that
beautiful self-abnegation which can
never be too strenuously inculcated by
rooster-kind, would set herself to plan-
n‘ng new sacrifices; I say a true lien,
in your situation, instead of sneaking
from her little duties, would contrive
some plan (if only by reaching out her
head, and picking the earth around
her) for supplying her husband’s little
wants.”
Mrs. Biddy (meekly.) “ Have a
worm, dear ?
0. C, Esq., (solmnly.) “Iwill.”

BILL ARP ON BILL TELL.
THE FOOL JOHN.
Professor Roll has just found cut
that there never was such a man as
William Tell. I don't know that
krout eatin Roll, but I’ll bet he’s mad
with some feller by the name of Tell,
and went to work to undejmine his
family. If there is a passel of folks
upon the face of the earth who enjoy
my contempt, it is them fellers who
are always tryin to pull down and
never build up. A man may do a heap
of good thiugs, but if he make one
little mistake they’l talk about that
and throw it up forever. They always
mention, it with i\buL He would baa
great fiian, but' : His •; intentious are
very good, but." ‘ Regular sappers and
miners they are. They suck all the
sap out of a tree to kill it, and then un
dermine it to throw it down.
Now, here is a feller who can’t make
himself notorious in any other way,
and he goes to sappin and minin Bill
Tell. Now, I don’t believe one word of
it. I was named for Bill, and if there
want no such a man, then I’m nobody
but Arp—that’s all. That feller is a
fool, and he’s got a big job on hand if
he thinks he can rob history of its best
story, and make a hundred millions of
folks beleve what he says. He’s envi
ous of Bill. Because he can’t shoot an
apple, or string a cross bow or make
himself famous, he don’t want anybody
else to. Every few years some con
ceited fool attacks history. I under
stand they've got a society to bile it
down and stew it. Well, its sorter
like washing for gold—they lose ftiore
than they catch.
Now it aint been very long since
one feller denied that Bill Shakspeare
ever lived. Well thev are sorter hard
on the Bills, aint they ? Another

HOW TOBACCO GROWS.
Tob; c o belongs to the genus Nico
tians, and it grows in this vicinity.
I have planted lots of quids, and I
never knew one to sprout. I will con
fess I was surprised when I saw tobac
co growing. It grows like a cabbage,
before it gets to be a cabbage, but it
ain’t so palatable to eat with corned-
beef as callage. I always thought
plug tobacco grew in plugs, but it
den’t; and as I knew for certain that
sardines grew in tin bores, because Pd
seen ’em in tin boxes, I expected of
course that fine cut Solace, Century,
Mrs. Miller’s Virgin Leaf, etc., all
grew on bushes in tin-foil, but they
don’t; and, to tell the truth, a man
has got to be a cussed good judge of
the genus Nicotiana to distinguish the
difference when it is growing, between
fine cut, smoking and plug. I haven’t
seen any cigars growing yet.

A circus company iu Iowa owed an
editor a bill for advertising and refused
to pay it. Thereupon the editor called
upon the sheriff, who attached the
Bengal tiger and brought him around
to the newspaper office in his cage. Ht
was placed in the composing room, and
during the first two days he not only
consumed fifteen dollars’ worth of
beef, but he scratched six dollars’
worth of trousers from the leg of a
local reporter, who mischievously en
deavored to stir him up with a broom-
handle to hear him roar. On the third
day the tiger broke loose, and the
entire force of compositors descended
the staircase with judicious suddenness.
The editor was alarmed to find his exit
through the composing room cut off,
and that the latch upon the sanctum
door was broken. So he climbed out
of the window and sought safety upon
of a Yankc2 magazine, to prove that one
of the Bourbons was livin in obscurity
on the banks of Lake Michilimncki-
nack. He hated old Bonaparte’s
family so bad that he was willin to
swindle a half-bread Candy Indian into
the throne of France.
There was a Gesler, and he was a
tyrant and Bill Tell wouldent tip his
hat to him, and he put him in jail,
and Bill’s son Henric was a noble little
boy, and Henric was to die unless
Bill shot an apple off his head, and
little Henric was blindfolded, and
stood firm as a rock and still as the
grave, aud there was a prayer and
shot and a shout, and the little boy was
saved and the apple was hit in the cen
ter. All that’s so, and Tell waylaid
old Gesler afterwards and killed him
and set Switzerland free. Its all so.
Its lieen in the books ever since I was
horn. I’ve read it a hundred times,
and told it to Bull Run and Chicka-
hominy and Bob Lee, and all the little
Arps, and 1’iu not going to take it
back, and if I had found out it wasent
true, I wouldent have told for a thou
sand dollars, and I don’t Tike the man
who did tell it, nor the man, woman,
or child who believes it, for its like
robbiii a dead preacher of his tomb
stone, to rob history of William Tell.
My opinion is, that the peace and
happiness of the country is in. danger
from these sappers and miners. Well
all have to have a creed and Bwear
to it.
I believe in Geo. Washington and
his hatchet, and Isaac Newton and his
apple tree. I believe in Bonaparte
and Shakspeare, and Andy Jackson at
the battle of New Orleans. I believe
in Sauta Claus, aud Pocahontas, aud
Ben Franklin, and Jeffeson, Davis and
Dixie, and the 4th of July 1776. I
elieve that an old man once found a
boy up one of his apple trees a stealin
apples. I believe the milk mud spilt
her milk when she tossed her head
and said “ Green it shall be.” I be
lieve in Robinson Crusoe and his man
Friday, and the island of Juan Fer
nandes. I believe in old mother Goose
and Cinderilla and John Robinson’s
Circus. I believe in Greeley and Ben
nett and Prentice, and other dead
editors, except Sam Bard, late of the
Chattanooga Herald, deceased,
believe most solemnly that Ben Butler
stole spoons. I believe in the big bat
tles of Waterloo and Bull Run and
Thermopylee and Dorking and
Leathers Ford. The last battle was
immort&liyed in verse by Jack Jones
when he wrote, “ BigJRghtin Sanford,
he fit a mity battle. He fout it at the
ford, where Leather’s stole flie cattle.
I believe that Gen. Grant told the
truth when he said they had two mil
lion six hundred and eighty-eight
thousand of soldiers in the late war.
I believe that old Sherman marched
through Georgia about half a mile
behind me and my folks, and that Big
John was saved by tieing a knot in his
steer’s tail. He needent deny it, for I
saw the knot. Bill Arp.

Fattening Young Women.-—
Throughout theinterior of Africa, and,
indeed, iu some parts of Asia, a woman
is prized for fatness. Beauty is associ
ated with excessive obesity; and such
being the public sentiment, mothers
seasonably commence a system of
dietecice treatment that makes their
daughters irrestible. Colonel Keating’s
travels give an account of the process
of fattening young women for a Tunis
market. As soon as betrothed, she is
cooped up in a small room, with gold
shackles t n her ankles. If her pro-
S rietor has lost a wife by death or,
ivorced one, their anklets are sent
forward for the new matrimonial can
didate. When she has attained
desirable size, indicated by filling toe
parcern rings, she is carried in triumph
to her new hon e
The preparation of food that actually
produces the conveted dimension—a
mountain of fatness—is called draugb,
made of the seeds of a vegetable pecu
liar to the country. Some positively
die from excessive fatness in an effort
to surpass in that bewitching accom
plishment rival candidates for matri
monial positions. These famous mor
tals are not the poor girls. They are
the highest orders of society, and there
fore are ambitious like fashionables in
some civilized States, of securing an
elevated position with'a rich husband.
Bruce, the traveller, saw a great queen
in Africa—a gem of women, the envy
of her sex and wife hunters—who
weighbd’over four hundred pounds..
Can science explain the action of
those seeds philosophically?

. The Great Eastern Circus was
broken up in Selma recently. The
horses, wild beasts, and etc, were sold
at auction to the old partners. The
elephant was bought by Mr. De Haven
for $10,000. Six bay horses brought
33,400. The den containing the lioness
and cubs $6,080. The Bengal tiger
and leopards $6,000. The Dufl&does
$400 each. The ring horses from $500
to $1,000 each, and every thing else
in proportion. The entire stock will
winter at the Fair Grounds, Atlanta.
A singular episode took place at a
church near Memphis, recently, where
a revival was going on. During a very
silent and solemn part of the services a
penitent brother, who had been leaning
forward and resting his aching brew
on bis palm, suddenly started up and
cried out in a loud voice:’ “ I have it,
I have it, I have it.” An iniquitous
person who was dozing beside him on
the seat jumped to hu feet, still half
asleep, and said with emphasis, “Keno,
by George 1”
“ Mr. Collins, of Hartford, bought
a ferocious water dog. Mr. Coffins
came home late that night. His wife
says that his trousers can’t be mended.
The dog’s skin is for sale cheap. Mr.
Collins hopes to be able to set down in
a>few weeks.”
Burning Chimneys.—If it is de
sired to extinguish the fire in a chim
ney which has been lighted by a fire
iu the fireplace, shut all the doors of
the apartment, so as to prevent aBy
current of air going up the chimney
and throw a few handrails of common
salt upon the fire, which will immedi
ately extinguish the same. The phil
osophy of this is that, in the process of
burning the salt, a muriat-acid is evolv
ed, which is a prompt extinguisher of
fire.—Fa- mer’s Gazette.
“ That’s where the boys fit for col

‘‘Did they r said the old lady with
animation. “ Then, if they fit for the
college before they went, they didn’t
fight afterwards ?” “ Yes,” said he,
smiling and favoring the conceit, “ but
the fight was with the head, not with
the hands.” “Butted, did they'?”
said the old lady.
A young man who was unaccustomed
to say grace, upon being exhorted by
his mother to the effect that, if his
