CORK.

Many persons see corks used daily with
obt knowing whence come those useful ma
terials. Corks are cut from large slabs Of
the cork tree, species of oak which grows
wild in the southern countries of Europe
The tree is stripped of its bark at about six
teen years old; but before stripping it off,
the tree is not cut down, as is the case of the
oak. 1t is taken while the tree is growing,
and the operation may be repeated every
eight or nine years; the quality of the bark
continuing each time to improve as the age
of the tree increases. When the bark is ia
ken off, it is signed in the flames of a strong
fire, and being soaked for considerable
time in water, it is placed under eheavy
weights, in order to render it straight; its
extreme lightness, the ease with which it
can be compressed, and its elasticity, are
properties so peculiar to this substance, that
no efficient substitute for it has been discov-
cred. The valuable properties Of cork were
known to the Greeks and Romans, who en-
ployed it for all the purposes for which it is
used at the present day, with the exception
of stopples. The ancients mostly used &C.
ment for stopping the mouth Of bottles or
vessels. The Egyptians are said to have
made cofins Of cork, which, being spread
on the inside with resinous substance, pre-
served dead bodies from decay. Even in
modern times, cork was not generally used

"WHO KILLED JONES' DOG?"

Justice is a very necessary element OF So
ciety-as necessary as milk is said to be in a
large family of small children. But justice
is not very useful, unless its instruments are
both honest and vigilant. There are all
sorts Of instruments ofjustice, from that pom
derous affair called the Supreme Court of
the United States, down to the little wheel
of a magistrate, that whirls and buzzes in a
country township; and, after all, they are all
but parts of one ponderous machine that
grinds out, day and night, all over this
mighty republic, law and order for the Peo-
pie; at any rate, that is the theory, and has
been ever since the Revolution, back of
which the memory of man is not legally per
mitted to run, and, of course, Goes not run
Out West, somewhere, one of these little
courts attempted to settle the question
"Who killed Jones' dog"
The sssettlement" where Jones' dog was
born, and lived, and finally died, was very
sparse settlement, made up Of all sorts of peo-
ple-hardly pioneers-who were troubled
with but few local incidents; but these few
became the more important for that very rea-
son. Jones' dog was just as much of fix
ture there, as Jones boy. Everybody knew
Jones' dog, and the dog knew everybody in
return Jones' dog might have died in a
thousand places without creating spasm in
society, but Jones dog could not die vio-
lent death in Buzzardtown, without shaking
the whole community from centre to circum-
stance.
But so it was. The dog was found, one
morning, with a bullet through his head,
"clean gone," and the question arose, "Who
killed Jones dog?"
Quimbly said Fog did it; Fog charged it
upon Quimbly. Bumper declared Hobbs
was the rascal, and Hobbs put it at the door
of some other neighbor; indeed, all Buzzard-
town had an opinion upon the subject, and
expressed it, too, and it was not long before
the people-men, women, and children
had rubbed up each others ears to blood
heat, and war finally broke out, hot and fu-
rious, ali over Buzzardtown, and even ex-
tended into the suburbs.
One man, however, preserved most dig
ni6ed silence on the subject; he was the ma
gistrate before whom the question might
come, and finally did come. When the dog
question was alluded to, incidentally, before
him, he pushed his hands deep into his
breeehes pockets, and looked wise, for he was
magiatrate, and why should he not? and
he gave the people to understand that his
opinion, if it ever was given, would be Civ.
en- on the "bench," where such questions
must be finally decided.
Squire Bumbleton was, in some respects,
avery remarkable man. He was a justice
ofthe peace, and ofcourse capable of deciding
the question, "Who killed Jones dog%-
He had many shining qualifications for the
Office which he held. He had a stoicisn

WHOSE NATE WAS SHOT NEAR NY ROOM THIS MORNING
Poor, little, lonesome, thing!
That callest for thy fallen mate in vain,
That dost so sweetly sing,
And yet sadness fingers in the strain.
Is thy heart broken?-is .
Thy tiny breast inhabited by woe
Is there no genial bliss
Remaining for thy lifetime here below
Thus early in the spring
Thy sister songster has been called away;
And canst thou sweetly sing H.
Thy happy notes of yesterday to day!
No no. thy lays must be
Deep-fraught with sadness; every heart-wrunl
tone
That from thy throat greets me
Bespeaks sorrow yesterday unknown.
Or is it joy or grief
That swells thy bosom?-Dost expect thy mate
To come again? All! brief
Are the best joys that beautify this state d!
Cruel he had no heart
Who interrupted, little one, the stream
Of thy love! He will start,
And wake to weep food
Of sorrowfnl and penitential tears -
O, wretch !! to spill the blood
Of wee thing so full of youthful years!
So full Of life, now dead!
And thou mourner left the woods to roam
Alone! Thy peace has fed!
Thy home is lost Then make my 6reastthy home
My throbbing, aching, breast
Repository of deeper grief
From whence has fed the rest
Of youth, and life, and hope, as frail as brief!
And brief as beautiful,
And beautiful as is the hope that they
Will come again to lull
The restless spirit with peaceful lay.
Then hush, sweet goldfnch! cease
Thy sweet sad notes Forget the heartless deed
That wrung thy bosom's peace,
And made thy tender loving spirit bleed.

And blessed angels whisper me to come
Above the stars, above
The silvered clouds and find a peaceful home!

Partisan gloves, and one Of the most reason.

of this Union. I claim no greater merit than
to have expressed my sentiments freely,
frankly, boldly, without regard to conse-
quences. Itwas remarked by the gentlemen
from Georgia, (Mr. Cohen that the world
is in arms against us on the subject Of do
mestic slavery, but with the cotton plant, .
fertile country, and slave labor, We have but
to be true to ourselves to maintain our posi-.
ton regardless Of consequences. Isay to
you, gentlemen, that it is our duty TO main
tain our equality at any and every hazard.
You have been pleased to refer to my puIsis
sevices in Mexico. I see among you an old
friend-a native Of Georgia member Of
the gallant Alabama Regiment*-and, if an
opportunity had been afforded to that noble
band from Georgia equal to those enjoyed
by others, they would have won as many
laurels, and worn them as gracefully, as any
in the service. Ofthe South Carolina Regi-
ment, I am in condition to speak as Of those
under my immediate command, and I hass
no hesitation in saying that drawer set Of
men never faced an enemy in the field
There was Butler, my friend, the impersona-
tion of ehivalry, and Dickinson, GLADDEN. and
Brooks, than whom never did brayer men
wear an epaulette, and SO was the Regiment.
One of you, gentlemen, have referred to me
as the father of the Regiment. l desire no
more honorable title than that of the "South,
ern Chieftain." Identified with the South
in my feelings, hopes and aspirations, I link
my destiny with her now and forever. In
conclusion, gentlemen, allow me sgain to
thank you for your kind and cordial recep-
ton. ss

swer these questions in tho affirmative. In
England, it has been ascertained that ont Of
one hundred criminal children, sixty were
born of dishonest parents; thirty Of parents
who were proaigate, but not criminal and
only ten of parents who were honest and in

raise virtuous children. Not more than one

the village of Madana, which is about 60
English miles from Rustschuck, in Walla-

the last 80 years. At one period this female
population was 200. The ladies have not

have avoided all intercourse With men, and
