Speech of Lot DOolitile.
On the bill for the protection of He1,


ROOStS.
Mistur Speaker:-I have there in my
seat and heered the opponents of this
great nashunal measure expectorate again
it, till I'm purity nigh busted with indig-
nant connections of my lacerated sensi-
bilities. Mistur Speaker are it possible
that men can be so infatuated as to vote
agin this bill! Mistur Speaker, allow me
to plctur to your excited and denuded ina
gination some of the heart-rending evils
which arise from the want of purtection
to hen roosts in my vicinity, among my
constituents. Mistur Speaker, we will
suppose it to be the awful and melancholy
hour of midnight-all natur am hushed in
deep repose-the solemn wind softly means
through the waving branches of the trees,
and naught is heered to break the solem-
choly stiffness, save an occasional grunt
from the hog pen! will now carry you
In imagination TO that devoted hen house.
Behold its peaceful and happy inmates
gently declining in balmy slumbers on
their elevated and majestic roosts! Look
at the aged and venerable and highly re-
spectacle rooster, as he keeps his silent
vlglls with patience and unmitigated watch
fulness over those innocent, helpless and
virtuous hens and pullets! Just let your
eyes glance around and behold that digni-
fed and matronal hen, who watches with
tender solicitude and parental congratula-
tlons OF those little juvenile chick ems,
who crowd around their respectful pro-
jenitor. and nestle under her circumambient
wings. Now, ask, Mistur Speaker, am
there to be found wretch so lost and
abandoned, as will enter that peaceful and
happy abode, and tear those interesting
little biddies from their agonized and
heart-broken parents! Mistur Speaker,
answer III thunder tones, there am! Are
thar anything SO mean and sneaking as
such robbery? No, there are not. You
may search the wide universe from the
natives who repose in solitary grandeur
and superlatlve majesty under the shade
OF the tall cedars that grow on the tops of
the Hlmmaleh mountains in the valley of
OF Josophat, down to the degraded and
barbarous savages who repose in obscuri-
ty In their miserable wigwams on the rock
of Glbralter in the Gulf of Mexico, and
then you will be SO much puzzled to find
any thing so mean, as you would see the
arth revolve around the sun once in twen-
ty-four hours without the aid of a teIe-
scope.
Mistur Speaker, feel that | have said
enough on this subject to convince the
! most obstinate member of the unapprqach.

penalty of the laws as follows:
For the first offence he shall be obliged
to suck twelve rotten eggs, with no salt
on 'em.
For the second offence, he shall be obi
ged to set on twenty rotten eggs, until he
matches 'em.
Mistur Speaker, all want is for every
member to act on this subject according
to his conscienciousnes. Let him do this
and he will be remembered everlastingly
by grateful posterity. Mistur Speaker,
I've done. Where's my hat
The eloquent gentleman, according to
the Boston Posts report, here donned his
seal-cap, and sat down, apparently much

They were both found crushed to

added.
Take me TO her. l replied.

the grave of her buried kindred. She re-
ceived me with sorrowful sweetness of
manner. l will not detain Npur attention
by detailing the efforts | made to win her
from grief; but briefly acqualnt you that l
at last accompanied her to her forlorn home
at the sunny south, and that twelve months
dlteI lIle uTedulul occurrence l1aI i nave
related, we stood at the altar together as
man and wife. She still lives to bless my
home with her smiles, and my children
with her good precepts; but on the ami
versary of that terrible night she secludes
herself in her room and devotes the hours
OF darkness to solitary prayer.
'As for me- added the traveller, while
faint flush tinged his noble brow at the
avowal, 'as for me that accident has redu-
ced me to mere coward at the sight of
mountain precipice.'
But the driver?' urged our lady pas
senger, who had attended to the recital of
the story with much attention, what be-
came of the driver! or did you ever learn
the reason of his deserving his post!'
His body was found on the road, with
in few steps of the spot where the coach
went over. He had been struck by the
same flash of lightning that blinded the
restive horses
The traveller here fell into a musing at
htude, as if all further allusion to the sub
Ject would be unpleasant to him. We
shortly after reached the railroad station,
where parted from the nervous gentleman
with feelings of profound esteem.
