|, CHARACTERISTIC PARODY.

Vou'd scarce expect one of my age
10 smoke cigars and look so sage;
Ard n should moustache wear,
ALTHOUGH the hair Is rather Spare,)
Don't view me with critics eve.
But pass my little whIskers by,
Big aches from littis toe -cOTHS flow;
Long boards from doUHy faces grow.
And though my beard Is short and young.
of tender growth, and lately sprung,
Yet ali the whIskers III the town
Once existed hut in down.
But why NAV not Charley's face
BE covered ike others of his race
Exceed what Tom and Dick have done,
Or any man beneath the SIM?
Where are the whlskeTs, far or near.
That do not find a rival here.
CDR where's the boy but three feet hugh
Who has more GHZ z y beard than
CHARLEY's COUSIN, YOUNG AMERICA.

mulated, into the hudmost kettle. If you
have no experience in testing the sirup in
the "battery," thermometer, made for that
purpose, can be obtained in most large cities
for dollar or so. 1t requires TO be Rradua-
eed up to say $50 degrees, as about 240 de-
grees Fahrenheit is considered the proper
point. Should the heat rise above this, you
must open your FIRE doors and throw over the
FIRE an armfu of begasse from the mill, and
then discharge the sirup as quickly as possible
and refill from the next kettle, thus contlnu-
ing successfully.
The coolers into which you discharge, may
be of good clear white pine, without paint in-
side, and IL inches deep, and large enough
to hold four charges, and then left to cool
and granulate or if you make molasses only,
you will use barrels, slaves Of oak and heads
of pine or cypress, thoroughly made.
In regard to crystalising the sorgho sugar,
we, to. day, went with Col. Peters to the su-
gar refinery of Messrs. Eastwick & Brothers,
No. 73 Vine street, Of this city, carrying with
us some sugar made from the sorgho, by Col.
Peters, in Georgia, and by Mr.. Wray in
France. These specimens were subjected to
the severest chemical tests, and examined
under powerful microscope, and both proved
to be true crystalisable sugar, and not gluccs.
As the examiners are perhaps not surpassed
for accuracy ir this country-not even in
Boston-we deem these experiments highly
satisfactory. They promise public report
Of the examination soon. Yours, &C.,

English Wealth and Luxuriousness

Some Of our New y ork Fifth avenue swells
make very respectable attempts to do the
"palatlal' in their houses and style Of living,
and put forth ambitious efforts to initiate
English country seats, in the possession of
what the English would call a Snug box" on
tho Hudson river, and ten, twenty, or hun
dred acres. An account before us, of the
luxurious style Of living among the English
aristocracy, throws our pdrreRge pretenders
considerably into the shade:
About sixty mics from London, is the
estate Of the Earl Of Spencer. which compri-
ses ten thousand acres, divided into parks,
meadows, pastures, woods and gardens. His
library contains fifty thousand volumes, and
Is said TO be the tuest private library in the
world. The Dake Of Richmond's home farm
consists OF $4,000 acres, or over 80 miles,
and this in crowded England which has in all
an area of only $4,000 square miles, or just
32,OUO,OOO OF acres, giving, were the land di-
yided, bat two acres to each inhabitant. The
residence Of the Duke is fitted up with orien-
tai magniticence. Twenty five race horses
stand in his stables, each under the care OF a
special groom. The dishes and plate upon
the table, are all of porcelain, silver and gold.
His ayiary is supplied with almost every va
riety Of rare aud elegant birds. aud large
herds of cattle, sheep and deer, are spread
over The immense lawns,
The same authority from which we gather
these fact says that the Duke of Devonsbire 8
palace, ut Chatsworth, eXcels in magnifcence
any other of the kingdom. lie spends the
whole OF bis enormous income. In the grounds
about the house are kept -four hundred head
OF cattle and fourteen hundred deer. The
kitchen garden contains twelve lcres, and is
filled with almost every species of fruit and
vegetables. a vast Qr5Oreium connected
with ths establishment, is designed to con.
tain sample OF every .ree that grows. There
is also glass conservatory. 3S1 feet in length
liz feet IN breadth, 81 in height, covered by
10000 square feet OF glass, and warmed by
seven miles oi pipe, conveying hot water.
| One plant was obtained from India. by spe-
clal messenger, aud is valued at $4,000. One
OF the fountains, near tbs house, plays 216
feet high, said 10 be the highest jet in the
world. Chatworlh contains $500 acres, but
the Duke owns $4,000 acres in the comfy OF
| Derbyshire. Within, the entire is one vast
scene Of paintings, sculpture, mosaic work,
carved walnscotlng, and all the eegancies
and luxuries within the reach of almost
boundlesS wealth and highly refined taste.
Fiye-sixths of the soil 10 England is divided
among scarcely thirty thousand proprietors
| There are twenty-nine bankers in London
whose transactions yearly embrace six or
seven hundred millions sterling. This is one
side Of the picture. The struggles between
