It Is ascertained by inspection ol the registers of many eounlries that tho uniform proportion of male to female births is as 21 to 20 ; accordingly in res pect to marriage every twenty-first man is naturally superfluous. ifmith ' Trtalite oh X'optUutio.

These clever statistical chaps Declare tbe numerical run Of women and men In the world Is twenty to twenty-and-oue ; And hence in the pairing, you see. Since wooing and wedding began, Fnr every connubial score They've got a superfluous man ! By twenties and twenties they go, 'And giddily rush to their fato. For none of the uiimbor, of course, Can fail ol a conjugal mate ; Bnt while they are yielding in scores To Nature's inflexible plan. There's never a woman for me For I'm a superfluous man. It Isn't Hint I am a oliurl. To solitudoover-inclined ; It isn't that I am at fault In morals, or manners or mind : Then what is the reason, you ask. I am still with tho bachelor's clau ? I merely was numbered amiss Aud I'm a superfluous man. It isn't that I am in want Of personal beauty or grace, For many a man with, a wife Is uglier far in the face ; Indeed, among elegant men, I fancy myself in tbe van. But what is the value of that, When I'm a sufluous man '. Although I'm fond of the girls, For aught I could ever discern The tender emotion I feel Is one that they never return ; 'Tis idle to quarrel with fate,! For struggle as hard as I can, They're mated already, you know And I'm a superfluous man ! No wonder I grumble, at tirnsw, Willi women so pretty and plenty, To know that I never was born To figure as one of tho Twenty ; But yet, when the average lot With critical vision I scan, I think it may be for tne best That I'm a superfluous man !

Slit : In tlio nbsence of nssniliible provi sions in the bill, the. gentlemen from Xew York (Mr. Brooks) poured forth his indig nation upon the grand old Puritan Statu. IIo said t y ''1 know the spirit of MussnchUscttg. 1 know her inexorable, unappeasable, demoni ac cneroy. I know that whut alio decrees she will execute, as when tshe ordered the burn ing of the witches ut Siiletil, or the scourg ing of the Quaker, or the exile of the Bnp tisU to the rocky shores of the Xarrsigitnsett or to the mountain fastnesses aud glens of Xew Hampshire where my maternal Bap tist ancestor, were banished. Hence when, as now, she decrees on the Africau, I tretu-4 ble for three million of hitherto happy hu man beings now doomed to extermination." And again he said 1 ''The spirit of Massachusetts has done in two or three years only what Christ, or the Church of Chiisl, was twelve or fifteen hun dred years iu accomplishing iu the Houian Kmpire." Wr, 1 am no son of Massachusetts or Xew England, as the gentlemuu is ; but I remem ber that, iu my wayward youth, being free from the indenture that htul bound uie to a long apprenticeship, but not having attained manhood, I wandered from my native Pctin aylvaiiia, counter to the current tide of emi gration, in pursuit of employment, and found a home in Massachusetts, and I may be pardoned if I puuse for a moment to feebly testify iny gratitude to her In whom I found u geutle and generous foster mother. I thank Qod for the Puritan spirit of Massa chusetts. A boy, poor, friendless, and in pursuit of wages for manual toil. I found open to mo in tho libraries of Boston the science, history, and literature of the world. At a cost that even the laboring man did uot feel, I found, night after night, und week after week, iu her lyceums and lecture rooms, the means of intercourse with her Bancroft, her Brownson, her Everetts, her Chunnings, her Prvscott, her Emerson, and scores of others as learned and as uble, though ierhups leas distinguished sou than these. 1 thus learned whut it was to be au American cllixer., and tu whut a height American civilization will b carried ; aud 1 found four years of life apent at well paid toil worth to me what the tame number of years iu a college might have betu; 1 thank the nieu of Massachusetts, as will Jhe schol ars in puhlio school fashioned upon her principles iu tho city of Vharlt-atou iu good time.

MASSER, SUNBURY, SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 19, . Tho gentleman from Ohio (Mr, Cox) less gravely I will not my more flippnntly, for that might ! offensive devonted his hour, u I hnve nid, not to the cxnttiinittion of tho bill, lint to ft criticism of certain uttoran ces of Wendell riiilis nnd Tiicodoro Tilton, und tho rending of roiriotig extrncts from nn nnnoymons pamphlet rcoetuly published ly Dexter, Hnmilton, & Co., "Nawttt street Xcw York, entitled "Jliscegentttioti." I am a littlo disnppoitited, Mr. Sjicakcr, that this bill should receive such trentment ut the hands if gentlemnn on the other side of the House. They profess to sympathize with the people of the South. They profuts to wish for peace and to restore them to tho blessings of society. Sir, do they not know that this bill relates to four million people of the South, half a million, certainly more than four hundred thousand, of whom aro the near relatives of their former associates upon this floor am) their partisans in the isoutli, men to whom they and their deluded partisans confided the administration Of our Government for more than thirty years? None know 'letter than these gentlemen that one-liulf million of those slaves are the near relatives, the uncles, limits, and cousins, j brothers, sisters, and children of the Demo- I craey of the South ; that in the veins of that ' number of colored people tingles the bloou of what the gentleman have been pleased to ' consider tho matter rare ef this country. The gentleman intimated that, by reasons of the utterances to which he referred, he was satisfied that that the lCepublicuns and , Abolitionists of the North would fall into j the practice of amalgamation. Sir, he knows 1 very well that the complaint of the alleged I illegal and unconstitutional arrest of that j specimen of Southern chivalry, that rcpre- j sentative of Virginia manners and .morals, that leader of tho Xew York Democracy, Captain J. U. Andrews, is not their real 1 grievance in the premises. He knows very ! well that their real grievance, anil that out of which they expected to make most capi- I tal while they 'hoped to restore slavery to ' its old political power, is that when the ! officers tore that husband of a white wotmiu ruthlessly from the sweltering embrace ol his African imiiifiratu they violated Demo cratic usiiges. Yes, bir, this is their real cause of complaint iu the premises. It is not tho men of the North who havo been enamored by that complexion which is described as tho "shadowed livery of tho . burning sun.' It is not tho men of the North who have laid their ''snowy hands'' in "palms of russet," "hung Europe's price less pearl that shames the Orient on Afric's swarthy neck" or realized experimentally the truth of the poet's aphorism, that "In joining contrasts licth Love's delight." These exquisite and deiiculc sources of en joyment have been iu the exclusive posses sion of tho. Southern Democracy, tho co laborers in politics of the gentleman who charges them so wantonly upon tho people of hi. own section. Hu has never seen tho white Northern man choose his companion from that race. I have by me a picture of a band of slaves sent North by Gen. Bunks, four of whom arc as white as we who hold this discussion. They come from the color ed schools recently established in New Orleans. They arc children of Southern Democrats, born in Virginia and Louisiana ; they were owned or sold by their fathers as negro slaves. I look, sir, upon that picture of Wash ington's companion in the devolution (pointing to tho picture of Lafayette) and his Ct associate in this Hall, and I remem ber that when on his tour through this country in 183-1 he visited the Southern States, ho very publicly expressed his (sur prise at finding the complexion of the negro population in their cities so largely changed from what it hud been at tho close of the revolutionary war, uud expressed the hope thut in finding the two races thus blending their blood ho might discover the solution of tho slavery question. But a few weeks ago, in conversation with t distinguished sou of Kentucky, himself a slaveholder, upon tho question now under discussion, hu said to me that in 1819 he was at school at Danville, Kentucky ; thut there were there 011 an average three hun dred young men, and that though the colored population of tho town numbered six hun dred, there were but six of pure Africau blood. Tho student at thut school were not Northern Abolitionists or Republican. They were the wealthy and educated young geutlemen of the Democrutic South. Hut, air, It t this question uot rest Un isolated instance of narrow localities. Let us look ut the ceu.it of lb(10. I find by it that uiore thun half a million of the colored people of that sectiou are, as I have already ' Intimated, the kindred of the white ruce of j th South. - Thus in I.oui.laua, of tho frev Colored people, 81.8U pr tt ut, are of mixed Llood, while iu lVun)lvani onky 8U.07 are i of ml set1, blood. Ami la-re ut me ay ttiu latter are nearly all of Koutheru birth.

OLD South Carolina it rises again to 71.00, not" withstanding her exportation to Pennsyl vania nnd elsewhere ; in Connecticut it sinks to 23.04. In North Carolina it is 71.53 ; in Xew York it is 15.88; in Florida it is 68. I)!); iir New Jersey it is but 13.04.

Among the Union prisoners taken at Chickumuugn and carried to Richmond were two or three Baptist clergymen, who were chaplains of Indiana regiments. Rev. J. B. Jeter, D. P., and one or two other clergymen of Rich mond, visited these, prisons for the purpose of rendering nny assistance in their power. Of course, the prospects of the. war were dis cussed, the Union prisoners confidently maintaining that our Government would eventually sttccccd, nnd the Richmond divines contending that they would not. Thoy expatiated uponjtheir army and their resources, dccluting that their soldiers were well provided with everything. In a kind and patronizing manner, they inquired if they could do anything for those who were "sick and in prison." "Well," said one of the chaplains, "we need some blankets; we were stripped of everything we had, en il it rather uncomfortable hero without more clothing." Dr. Jeter exchanged ghinres with his companions, nnd then said, "Brcth crn, we have to confess that we have no blankets for yon. In order to make the soldiers as comfortable as possible as we have represented, all our houses have been stripped of blankets and everything else." This was certainly a marvellous backing down froruthe dignified and patronizing air at first assumed ; and tho incident, which wo have from one perfectly "reliable,"serves to corroborate other accounts of Southern destitution. Watchman and Reflector. Think of It. The number of languages spoken is SOW. The number of men is about equal to the number of women. The aver age of human life is 33 years. One quarter tlio before the ago of 7. One-half before the age of 17. To every 1000 persons, one only reaches 100 years. To every 100, only 9 reach Ci years ; and not more than one iu 500 reaches the Bgo of 80 years. There are on earth 1,000,000.000 of inhabitants. Of these, 33,333,333 die every year ; 7780 every 1 hour, anil bt) every minute or one tor every second. These losses nro about balanced by an equal number of births.

Ma.iuh Fkkas, In reference to plant trees, allow ine to suy that some sixty ) ago or more, there lived on the Susquehat river, six miles above HsrrUburg, a Mr, I A Mister, who was a famous farmer, planted or sowed the seeds of the Loc tree along his fence rows, and this was d by running a light furrow in which tho se wore dropped alxiut 0110 foot ajmrt r lightly coverod. I think a little wood-as were also usod. As the trees grew all crooked ones were removed, and as they came largo were used for farm purposes, that iu twelve or fifteen years tho strain trees which wero allowed to stand, w from six to eight feet apart. In twenty ye the trunks were sullicicntly large to cut . posts. Judge Duncan, of Carlisle, ridiculed 1 idea of planting the seeds of trees, wl trees of a large growth could bo obtuit for planting. Mr. McAllister offered a ' that in twenty years ho would have m from seed, than could bo had from tra planting trees of any size I Tho Judge ccpted tho bet, and forthwith set out so trees ; but finding iu ten or twelve ye. that they had not much iucrcascd in s! ackuowlodgcd las error ? The soil of almost every part of Penns nia is favorable to the growth of locu? and New Jersey can furnish an abundar of seed. It would be a beautiful feature agriculture to sec the roads skirted with cust trees. Our railroads, also should abot with this tree. In fifteen years, or tin abouts, every railroad would furnish loc sleepers enough to supply all it wnnts. T is an important fact let those whom it ci ccrns think of it. Cirmantoicn Til. IMMCUNMivn ou dirapen. At the Into meeting ot Fruit Growers, Rochester, New York, 6omc very sensi remarks were made by several gentlemen the. subject of grape-growing and wine-c king. Judge Larowo suid, that the u who pays the best attention to his vines v realize twice as many grapes as the oti uian who lets "nature" have her own wi that the consumption of grapes in this coi try more than doubles every year ; thut the village of Bath, in his county, wh! ! could uot use half a ton five years ago, in five tous the past year ; that four tons grapes upon au average cun bo raised on acre, having himself raised five tons ; tl the labor per acre did not exceed $10, w him less ; aud that he plants his vines 8 f by 8. He added that the proper way v to fill the trellis with new wood und fr and cut out all the old wood. Those bi ing this year should bo cut off just beyo the fruit. The nearer the grapes are got the surface of tho ground, the richer tl will bo iu saccharine matter. IIo content that anything that required sugar to un it, was uot wine. That's so. Dr. Sylvester suid we had made our vit sickly by our manuring, aud maintain thut where the ground wus rich enough raise corn, it was rich enough for grapes We agree with Dr. S.
