To the Editor of the Huron Repositor. SIR :—Most of your readers have doubtless heard ot Pattie C. the bicker - maker of Birgim. It is needless to say that Pattie was a cooper by trade who made a speciality of making bickers. These dishes are generally made from six to nine inched in diameter and abouthhe same in depth. In-Scatlend, where the working class all use por- ridge twice every day, it is of the greatest importance that each member of a family ehould have a bicker that exactly suited the _capacity of their stomachs. There is no country in the world where the diet is so uniform both in quality and quantity, which in a great measure accounts for the heal thy condition of the Scotch; but I am off my story. Pattie was a very small young man, but this did not prevent him from courting the lassies. Like moistly all small men, he picked on a big lass that he thought was a perfect angel, ard concluded to equalize mat- ters by marrying her. Unlike most big women, Pattie soon found out to hie sorrow th it she was a perfect "sautau." As time wore on, as is generally the ease with married people who don't -agree, they nevertheless ancoeeded,, some way or another, in having a very large family. As the tt children increas• ed iu years and numbers, they natural- ly followed the example of their mother and had uo knowledge whatever of the one-half of tbe fifth commandrneut, BO that Pattie had not the life of a dog a.mongist them. The poor man had tu work both early and late to make both ends meet, and the children were eru- Ployed as spies by their mother to see that their father did not put off his time and in. watching the sales and carrying the money to •the house. If he failed in doing work enough or in making sales to satiefy his wife, he got fearfully fleolded aud was often sent to bed with- out hie supper. It would fill the Ex. POSITOR to recount the many indignities that poor Pattie was subjeoted to, but he bore his troubles with Christian resignatiou, as men generally do. He had, indeed, a horrid nlife. In order to maintain his large family he had to attend -all the fairs within a radius of thirty miles for the purpose of selling his bickers, which the carried on bis back. The size and number were all counted, aud he was held to a strict account for every copper of his money. If he failed in selling or reduced the price in order to sell, he was sure of a warm reception from his wife and bairns wheu he got home. It happen- ed that in attending the Kelso fair that he struck a good market, and ma.naged to sell all at good prices, and, as good luck' would have it, he providenti- ally met a friend called Johnnie K., that he had not 'seen since the two were cow herders together. Pattie was delighted to meet his friend, anti even took the risk of incurring his wife's dis- pleasure by aeking Johnnie to bane a gill. Unlike most money epent in drink this proved. a most profitable in- vestment. Although I am a temper- ance man I must confess that nothiug goes BO directly to the heart a drop of good whisky. In Scotchmen it stirs up the sympathies and religious feel- ings; in Irishmen, their humorous and fighting qualities, and in Englishmen their muscular and annoroes propen- sities. Such being the case, it would be well for society if Scotchrnen were allowed to do all the drinkino There FOR SALE OR TO RENT—Two acres of Ian d, with serf efortable house, barn and stab 1,, Ilhorean.

He was called all the good-for-nothings the family could think of, as well as a drunken little spendthrift and was sent to bed sup- -perless. But Pattie had the proud satisfaction of having withstood the first combined attack of the whole family, and had retained the Money, so that if the worst came' to the worst he knew if they refused to give him his 1 breakfast he bad the money .o buy it. This was the first spark of real inde- pendence he had experienced in his bosom since he had been married, and be continued to keep the purse until he brought the family to the very point of !starvation, when, like a goo& husband and father, he replenished all ' the meal pokes. The wife, like a sensible wo- man and good judge of human nature,, when she saw that Pattie had fairly got his back up and put his foot down, , she concluded, small as he was he was like other men—far more 'easily led than driven, and at once adopted a change of policy towards him by becom- ing a loving and affectionate wife. If she wanted anythingit was my dear Pattie can I have this, I experienced in the that and the other thing.

John, nie was naturally anxious to know if Pattie was married,what kind of a wife be had got, how many children be had and how be was getting along in the world. Pattie, like an honest man, had to confess that he was married, and badly married; that the, wife of his choice that he imagined was a perfect angel when a, lass, bed turned out a, perfect devil, aud that the 11 bairns had all taken after the mother, and as for himself, he was knooked round amonget them like a pair of "amid shoes ;" that he never had a copper that he could call ain, and hinted what a warm reception be would get for having spent six penoe in treating a friend. Johnnie was still a, bachelor, which Pattie thought was the greatest bleesing any man could enjoy, but like all old bach- elors, Johnnie deolared the woman was not born, if be had her for a wife, he couid not subdue. Although deeply sympathising with his friend, he told Pattie be had nobody but himself to blame for his hard lot; that he had been too indulgent idgiving his_wife all her own way, and as a natural conse- quence she was sure to rule him with a rod of iron. Johnnie called on another gill, and told Pattie he could give him eaee for all his troubles if he only had the courage to apply it. 'Pattie declar- ed he bad the courage to do it or die, rather than submit to the treatment he had reoeived any longer. After such assuranoe of manly valor, Johnnie told him all he had to do was to bring his wife and family to a proper sense of their dependence upon him by "simply stopping the supplies" and. keeping the purse himself, but if be attempted and failed bis latter end would be Worse than the first. Pattie declared' he would put the cure to the test that very night, and it was agreed between them that they would meet at the same place at the next fair so that Johnnie would know the result of his cure, apd, that he warranted it never to fail if properly applied. Pattie started at once for home, whistling all the way to keep his courage up. When he ar- rived the wife and family were ready to receive him and take the money, but Pattie, having more spirits in him than usual, deolared he had made up his tnind from this time hence forward and forever to keep li4:1 own purse. Stich s. clear oese of o n rebellion against factor. When the day ate ived the two friends met as agreed. Pattie could now stand treet without any fear of the home going. It is needless to say that he was neither stingy in treating nor in thankiug Johnnie for his "perfect cure." Johuuie was indeed delighted to hear that the wife had beoome the original angel Pattie took her for, and that the family had all become so like them mother, aud that :Pattie was now a happy and contented man, living wholly iu the affectious of his family. So great was the change that Johnnie fairly euvied Pattie his lot. If auy of your readers are afflicted with wives who wear the breekees, wink is just as good as a nod. Johnnie's cure is war- ranted. But my object in irelatingahe story is not 80 much for the purpose of saving iudividuals who are under pet- ticoat government as it is to save the whole country from railway usurpation. If Pattie, poor man, was able to sub- due a very devil of a wife by merely exercisiug judiciously his own power, how muub mos e easily could the people cputrol audgoyeru the railways of the country and make them subeervient to their will by merely using the law making power they possess. Ever siuce the days of John the Baptist until now it is wonderful how many reforrat have been effected both in church aud state by -Johnnies." As my name is dulinele, I will give you my cure for making the railways more at - ten tive to your want, beeidesneompel- ling them to do so at about vile half the preeeut rates, notwithetending all the schemes and amalgamations they can form. There is no country in the world that pan BO easily legislate an ad- ditioual five or tAi. per cent. into their pockets yearly from tbe produce of the farm ae the farmers of Ontario, if they will only stand up for their rights. It istrue the people have been far too in; dulgent and too liberal with railways, hence the reason they are trying to take the advantage of the people's sim- plicity. Few individuals seem to know that tbe rights of the people are meet jealously guarded in all railway ohar- tors. The ls,w does not allow them to overcharge iu rates nor to give any ad- vantages to either individuals or places for the same service rendered. This is done for the purposenof preventing monopolies in the country. Such being the case, it seems strange that the law allows railways to carry American pro- duce double the distance for one half the rates they will (tarry the produce of _this country. Canadian lays% are not like the la.ws of the Medesl and Per- sians, which cannot be cha.nged. Why, we have men making, mending, patch. ing and reneedyingthe laws rill the time. It is tnerely for the farmers of Ontario to say that railways "shall not be al- lowed to carry American produce through their oountry at lower rates than they are prepared to •Icarry the produce of the country," and that the local rates shall bear a oertaiu propor- tion to the through rates. If this clause was enacted into law', it would fell two dogs with one stone. (1) It would teach railways how dependent they are—that they live and. move. by and with the consent of the people; that all their efforts to impnse on the country are vain and. futile. (2) It wouldnive the people all the accommo- dation they require, besides! enhancing. the value of the products of I the coun- try five and ten per cent.
