Thare is not ton the whole horizon ov live
natur more plsazing aad strengthening,
studay than the Rooster. This remarkable
package of feathers has bin for ages food
for philosophik as we'll "a. the simple curl
ous mind. They belong tew the feathered
sekt denoninsted poultry, and are the hus-
bands Of menny wives. In Utah it is kon-
sidered disgrace tew speak disrespekful
of rooster. Brigham Young's cost ev
arms is srooster in full blast, growing till
he isalmest bent over double Backward
The flesh ov the rooster is very similar
tew the flesh ov the hen it Is hard tew dis
tinguish the difference, espeshiy in yure
soup. Roosters are the pugiiists amung
the domestic burds they wear the belt,
and haying ND shoulder tew strike from,
they strike from the heel.
boosters, according to profane history,
if my edukashun remembers me right, were
formerly msn, who come suddenly upon
one oy the heather gods at . time when he
want prepared ten see company, and Waz
for. that offence rebuilt over into the fust
rooster, and xaz forever; afterwsrd desti-
ned tew crow as kind Of warning. This
change from man akounts for their fight
ing abilities, and, for their politeness tew
the hens. Thare is nothing in q man that
q woman admires more than his reddyness
and ability to, smash another fsllow, and it
IL iiss so With Hen. When sirooster gifts
licked the hens all march oph with the
other rooster, if be amt haf so big or hand

Thsrs iaa great variety pv pedigree a.
mung the rooster race, but for -stiddy biz
ness, give me the old.fash' dominique zoos
ter, short-legged, and when they walk they
alHus strut, and their buzzums stick out
Ike . alderman's abdominal cupboard. This
breed is hawk -colored, and has q crooked
tail on them arched like sickle, and full
ov feathers as new duster.
But when you come right down to grit,
and throw all outside influences overheard,
there ain't nothing on earth, nor under it,
that can out-style, outstep, out-brag, or
out-pluck regular Bantum rooster.
They alwus put me IN mind oV very

They don't weigh more than thirty
ounces, but they make az much fuss as q
tun. I haye seen them trying tew pick a
quarrel with . two-hoss wagon, and don't
think they would hesitate tew fight meet
ing-heuse if it wss the lesss sassy tew them.
It seems tew be necessary that there
should be sumthing outrageous in evry-
thing, tew show us whar propriety ends and
impropriety begins. This IL the melan-
cholly case in the rooster affair; for we
have the shanghi rooster, the greatest out
rage, in nay opinyun, ever committed in the
annals of poultry.
Theze krittersa are the camels amung
fowls, they nope around the barnyard, tip
ping over the hay racks and stepping on
the yung goslins, and every now and then
they crow confusion.
If emmy body should Civ me shanghi
rooster should halter him and keep him in
box stall, and feed him on cut feed, and
if he would work kind in harness, all ight ;
if not, would butcher him the fust wet
day that cum, and salt him down tew give
tew the poor.
But thare amt nobody going tew civ
me one ov this breed, knot if i know it i
don't think thare il man on earth mean
enough tew do it.
BOOSTERS do but very little household
work; they won't lay emmy eggs, nor try
tew hatch any, nor see tew the young ones (;
this satisfys me that there is sum truth in
the NEUROLOGICAL aokeunt ov the ROSTERS

Yu kant git rooster tew pay emmy at
tenshun tew young one; they spend their
time in growing, strutting, and occasionly
find worm, which they make q remarka-
bic fuss over, calling up their wives from a
distance, apparently tew treat them, but
just az the hens get 'thare this elegant and
elaborate cuss bends over and gobbels up
the morsel.
Just like man, for all the world.
