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. - 1 I mean—yes, sir, we’ve laid an egg. -(??•> (with solemn aniraa- .

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.” Selected. 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 ?

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. AN INDIGNANT 8ALVE TEDDLER. I met a peddler in Norfolk. Says I, “What you got?” Says he, “Slave to cure irruptions.” Says I, “ Will it euro all kinds of irruptions?” Says he, “Yes.” Says I, “Why don’t you go to Naples?” ' Says he, “What for?” Says I, “There’s somebody there who will give you a thundering big contract” Says he, “Who?” Says I, “Mr. Suvius.” Says he, “Who?” says I, “V.

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.

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? Guardian’s Sale.

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.

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 lege,” said the Professor to Mrs. Par- tington, pointing’ to a school-house. ‘‘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 thoughts were right, any words would do, said: “ Lord, have mercy on these victuals.” Wilmington, N.
