4 Fowl SANDER.

The following joke is too good to throw
away, and we therefore insert it that a
quiet laugh may be enjoyed, even by those
at whese expense the squib is perpetratcd.
We copy from the Pedce Is. c. Times.
We are aversc to all big things, except
big mountains, and we love them because
they are the immediate creation of God, -,
and are indexes pointing to heaven. We
never saw big hog or OK, but had cost
more than he came to in making him grow
up to his size. So with big roosters
and in reply to a Shanghai friend, afilic-
ted with the declining tirOre, we here
give it as our opinion that two pair Of
legs attached to small and thrifty fowls,
like the Mexican game and Dorking, will
sustain and keep in a better condition,
more flesh and feather than pair Of
equity stilts under modern Chinaman
And, too, careful comparison, deduced
from the realities Of cause and effect,
teaches US that, as scratching is one of
the elements of good living to rooster,
the smaller breeds in this particular, have
greatly the advantage over the automa-
ton monsters of the poultry-yard. With
bountiful crops and seasons, they may be
made to do; but 1858 was wholesale sor-
row to practical Shanghai breeders. Give
US a Dorking or Mexican game for the
spit-a bantam to crow-a turkey to roast
and Gunia fowls for eggs, and we will
give up all other fowl fancies to those
who choose to indulge in them. 'C0ch-@-
do0dle-oloe,' was the good old-fashioned
crow Of the .roosters in the days Of our
boyhood; the insupportablo Come and
feed me m-o-r-e,' of the Shanghai, is
doleful enough to announce the funeral of
a corn-crib.

The Marriage Tie.

Many are of opinion, that if it were
not for the striDgency of the civil law,
nearly all families would be broken up, and
society 60 into chaos. We have no such
notion. If a proclamation were made to
day, declaring every marriage in the Un-
ion null and void, and leaving it once
more to the choice of the parties whether
the relation be renewed, business would
be suspended, newspapers would stop,
stores, factories and workshops would
close. The editors would be all at home
getting married, merchants, operative,
and mechanics would each be waiting
their turn to have the nuptial knot retied.
Cross, fretful, sickly wives, that had al
most been felt burden before, would
grow very dear at the thought of scpara-
ton. D0minecring, hasrh husbands would
be forgiven; and in all places where q
spark of conjugal love remained, it would
be blown to fame where nothing but
dead embers and the ashes remained they
could be taken up and made into soap
and society cleansed therewith.-lIrs

Good Advice.

The St, Louis LitcLigeucc1 in an article
on the Boston riots, gives the people of
the North the following piece of advice:
"Instead of killing U. S. officers, who
are di5chargiug a sworn duty in trying to
execute the laws that you hate, you would
show more sense and justice in hanging
a few of those dough-faced knavcs that
you habitualIy send to Congress to make
such laws. Who is responsible for the
so-called Nebraska perddy!" Who but
men of the North, sent to Congress by the
vote of Northern people? They have
the numerical majority-thcy could east
ly have defeated the Nebraska perGdy.'
But they did not do it. They bartered
yotr Cotcs and their souls, according to
your account, to Frank Pierce, Stephen
a. Douglas and the devil"
The suggestion, coming, as it does, from
the Southern paper, may be. worthy of at
tention One thing is scertain-that these
traitors should be politically gibbetted.
and we hope to see it done, very effectu-
ally, next fall.

The Quebec Chronicle says that nearly

IL Some ingenious editor has discov-
cred that there were consumed last year
about 705, ,OOO,0OO pounds of cane sugar,
and 100000 pounds Of maple sugar
This gives more than "a pounds of cane
sugar, and pound of maple sugar to eve
ry man, woman and child If this were
put into barrels holding 200 pounds, and
each barrel had occupied the space of 3
square feet only, it would require 33G
acres of land for it to stand upon. The
barrels, if placed in a row, would reach
$50 miles. If this sugar were put up in
paper packages of ) pounds each, it would
require lac, ,40O, 900 sheets of wrapping
paper; and if only yard of string was
used to each paper, there would be re-
quired 439, 100000 feet, or $4,000 miles
of strings-more than three times enough
to 60 round the earth. If every retail
clerk sold 100 pounds of sugar each day,
it would require nearly $4,000 clerks to
sell it in year. If the dealers, whole
sale and retail together, made a profit of
only two cents pound on the sugar, these
profits alone would amount to nearly eI5,-
100000.
