Tbe Jo*!* Ktilliugi Parent. ROOSTERS There is not the 011 wlmle horizon ov live nature a more pleszing' and Btreagtlwiiing study than the roostef. This remarkable package <»f feathera has been for ages food for philosophik as well as ihe aiutple curious mind, They belong tew the feathered sekl, denominated poultry, and are the husbands ul many wives. In Utah it is konsidered n disgrace tew speak disrespekfnl of a rofistpr. Brigham Young’s coat-of-arms i* a rooster, in full blast, crowing till he is almost brint over douple backwards. The flesh ov the rooster is I%ry similar tew the tlelsh of a hen: it is hard tew dis tinguish the difyrence espesbly in yure soup. Roosters are pugil sts at* o g the domehtik burds; they wear the belt,.and having no shoulder tew strike from they strike from the heel. Roosters according to profarne history, if niy ednkashun remembers ms right, were formerly a man, who come suddenly upon one of the heathen God’s at a time when he want prepared twe see company, and waz, tor thht offense rebuilt over into the fust rooster, and was forever afterwards des tined tew crow, atr kind wafning* This change from a man akounts for their fight ing abilities aiuftheir politeness to the h6tis. Thare is nothing in a man that a wom (, n admires more tliau his readdyness and ability tew Smash another fellow, and it is jigs so with liens when a rooster gits licked, the hens all march ops with the other roostes if he ain’t half so big or handsome It is pluck that wins a hen or a woman. There is great, variety ov pedigree anmug the rooster race, but for stiddy bizziness give me the old-fashioned dominqne, short legged, stud-when they walk they aiwus trut’ and their buzzums stick out like an aldertnau’s addomjnal cupboard. This breed is hawk- colored, aud has a ceooked tail? on them like a sickle and as full ov feathers as anew duster. Rut when you come right down to grit and throw all outside infiuetpjes overboard thare aint nothing on earth, nor under it, that can put-gtyle, ouUstep. out-brag, or out-plucka regdiar Bantum rooster. They always put nie in mind ov a small dandy prakticing before a looking glass. They don,t weigh mere than thirty oun ces, but they make as much fuss as a ton. I have seen them trying to pick a fuss with a twoajiorso waggon, aud doin’ think they would hesitate tew fight a meriting house if it waz the least bit sassy tew them. It is,more than fun to hear one of these lcttle chevaliers crow; it is like a four year old baby trying tew siug a lino out ov the star Spangled Benner, The lieu partner in this concern is the most exquisit little boquet ov neatness and feathers that the eye ever roosted on. They are az prime az a premeture ynng lady. It is a luxury to watch their daintiness. Changes of following curious Statement, by Dr. Granville, istakeii from a late English paper; it is drawn from the registered cases of 876 women, and is derived from their answers to the age at which they respectively married. It is the first ever constructed to exhibit to females their chances of marriage at various ages. Os the 876 females, 3 were married at 13 years of age; 11 at 14; 16 at 15; 43 at 16; 45 at 17; 66 at 18; 115 at 19; 118 at 20; $6 at 21; 85 at 22; 59 at 23; 53 at 24; 26 at 25; 24 at 26;-2S at 25, 24 at 26; 28 at 27; 22 at 28; 17 at 29; 9at 30; T at 31; 5 at 32; 7 at 33; 5 at 34; 2 at 85; 0 at 36; 2 at 37; oat 38; 1 at 39; 0 at 40. From this our fair readers may form a pretty accurate judgment of the chances-whioh they have of entering the holy state of matrimony, and of enjoying the sweets (we say uothing of the bitters) of wedded love. The Louisvill Conirier Jonrncl thus speaks of Browulow’s promotion to the Senate; Brownlow goes out of Tennessee into the United States Senate, Tennessee should have a day of “thanksgiving and piayei*”; tanksgiving for his departure, and prayer that he may never return; and the Senate should have a day of “fasting, humiliation and prayer*; fasting and humiliation for his election as one of its members, and prayer that some kind dispensation of Pro vidence may prevent him from ever making hie appearance iu its halls. “Mack* on Colfax. —'■Mack,* in a letter, pays his4espects to the new Vice President iu'lhis wise: It has been truthfnlly said of Schuyler, that the little mau runs a smaller amount of boiler, than any ijther living person. The wonder to me is» that somebody doesn’t invent a steam engine bis model. The same principle upon which hte operates in. the political world, would, if ap*p!ied to mechanical purposes, turn a six foot wheel with a two inch cylepder. ii ii ■mi ii— • i '■■■ ■ Age of hub Presidents.— youngest man elected President is Ulysses S.

Sitting opposite one another at she dinner table— they are always opposite at pratice at the bar in the court-house, an agreed as to the bar in the hotel—Wilson was discribing the effects of a speech he made a few nights before at a great political meeting lu the village where Phinney resides. . “Indeed,” said be, “ I never saw the people so filled with enthusiasm!** “Filled with what?” cried Phinney. “With enthusiasm,’, repealed Wilson. “Oh. ah?, 4 'said Phinney: 1 understand, but I never heard it called by that name before; we call it rum!” Not one hundored miles from Fayette, Pa resides a Justice of thy Peace who does’t know just as much as a person should know when called to 611 that responsible office- Indeed, the J.
