FRENCH SEWING MACHINE.-This ma
chine is the invention Of an humble arti-
san, who has great mechanical genius,
and who has been engaged for thirty
years III the perfection of his invention.
He received patent for it in France a
few years ago, and it is said that for more
than twenty-five years, he sought in vain
to make it work, and that the thought
flashed all at once upon his mind regard
ing its truth and perfect principle. The
machine was introduced into London
some time last year, and has attracted
much attention in that city. 1t is very
cheap; some are sold for twenty dollars,
and the price varies from that to thirty.
The machine is fixed on a table, and Is a
very small box. 1t is worked by treadle,
and every movement of the foot produces
corresponding action in the needle; so
that three hundred stitches can easily be
made in minute. The hands are merely
used to guide the material being sewn,
and by turning screw, the stitch is easily
varied. The machine will sew, stitch,
and form cords and plaits. The stitch is
the tambour or crotchet stitch. The
whole value Of the invention consists in
making machinery do what was hitherto
done with the fingers, and thus resolving
problem supposed impracticable. The
beauty of the machine is, that it can
work button-holes and embroider. M.
Magnen, who exhibited it in London,
wore an entire suit worked by it, con-
sisting of coat, pants, vest, and all their
appurtenances. To France belongs the
credit of this invention. nj. Thimonner
is the name of the inventor, and his fame
will 60 down to posterity with that of
jacquard.

The West Tennessee Whig tells yarn
upon farmer in that State, who, to make
a speculation. put large stone in one of
his hogsheads of tobacco, and forwarded
it to his commission merchant at New
Orleans, directing his merchant there to
send him a barrel of sugar. BY accident
or otherwise, the stone was discovered.
The merchant took the stone from the to-
bacco and put it into the barrel of sugar
before he weighed it, put on the head and
sent it back to the tobacco man in course
of time, and didn't say word about the
stone. But he found it before he had
used up more than half of the sugar.
This is a fact.

CUTTING IT SHoRT.-A certain barber,
who was possessed of great powers Of
"gabE" used to amuse his customers with
his long yarns while manipulating their
heads and faces. One day an old codger
came in, took his seat, and ordered
shave and hair cut. The barber, went
to work, and began, at the same time,
one of his long stories, to the no little
dissatisfaction of the old gentleman, who,
becoming irritated at the barber, said !:
"Cut it short" "Yes, SIR" said the
barber, continuing the yarn, until the old
gentleman again sung out Cut it short
cut it short, [ say" "Yes, sir,
clipping away, and gabbling the faster.
"Cut it short, cut it short, say" again
says the old gentleman. Yes, sir, says
the barber, going on with his story
VIII you cue it short, blast you. bawls
the old gent, in rage. Cant, sir,
says the barber, {. for, if you will look in
the glass, you'll see that I've cut it
all off," And to his horror, upon look
ing in the glass, the old gentleman found
his hair all cut from his head.

ADVICE TO You've LADIEs.-Trust not
to uncertain riches, but prepare yourself
for emergency in life. Learn to work,
and not be dependent upon servants to
make your bread sweep your floors and
darn your own stockings. Above all
things, do not esteem too lightly those
honorable young men who sustain them
selves by their own hands, while you
care for, and receive into your company
those lazy, idle popinjays, who never lift
finger to help themselves, SO long as
they can keep body and soul together,
and get sufficient to live in fashion,.
Young women, remember this, and
instead of sounding the purses of your
lovers, and examining the cut of their
coats, look into their hearts and habits.
Mark if they have trades, and can depend
upon themselves; see if they have minds
which will lead them to look above but
terfiy existence. Talk not of the beauti-
full white skin and the soft, delicate hand
the fine appearance of the young gen.
tlemen. Let not these foolish consrdera-
tions engross your thoughts.

JEWISH CUsToMs.-Among the inquiries
addressed to Major Noah, we find the
following, together with his answer;
"Was it ever the practice of the Jewish
law to make malefactors drunk before
execution ?''
"No. But they gave the condemned
a cup of wine, in which there was frank
incense to render him insensible TO pain !;
and the compassionate ladies of Jerusalem
provided this draught at their own ex-
pense. The custom is founded on the
Proverbs of Solomon, chapter Is, 9th
verse Give strong drink to him that is
ready to perish, and wine to those that
be of heavy heart"

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.

Cobb beg IN to lose and Winthrop to gain slight
ly. On the 22d ballot, taken at the close Of
Fridays session, Cobb's vote fell to 60, while
winthrop's rose to l02. The Democrats held
q caucus on Friday evening, when Mr.. Cobb de-
clined being longer q candidate, but no one was
nominated in his place. On Saturday, the DEM
ocrats being without a candidate voted scatter
ing. Potter of Ohio, however, took the lead,
receiving ION the 2sth ballot) 76 votes. The
bnllotings of Monday we have not seen. We
only know that there was no choice, though it
was reported that the vote for Winthrop had
gone up to ITO. We shall not undertake to pre-
dict the final result, but we think il notimprob-
able that a few of the Southern Democrats, for
fear of doing worse, will eventually vote for
Winthrop and secure his election.
There is much in this state of parties
to encourage tho friends of Freedom. The
anti-slavery sentiment of the North is cy-
identity rising in spite of all opposition
The politicians arc at their wits end, and know
not which way to turn. Let us hope that the
time is drawing near when the Representatives
of the North will no longer dare to betray Free
dom with a kiss, but will be compelled, from
motives of elf-intcrcst if not from principle, to
take their stand on the side of Liberty and HUI
mainly. Keep up the agitation!

vERMoNT.-The Legislature of this State, at
its recent session, adopted resolutions requesting
the Senators and Representatives of the State
in Congress to resist by all and every constitu-
tional means the extension of slavery in any
maner, and to support every just and prudent
measure for the exclusion of Slavery from the
District of Columbia, for tho entire suppression
of the slave trade on the high seas and wher-
ever else Congress has jurisdiction, and generally
to relieve the Federal Government from all res
possibility for the existence, maintenance, or
tolerance of slavery or the traffic in slaves
This is doing pretty well for apolidcal body, cen
sidoriug but the North will have to take a great
deal higher ground before she can clear her
skirts of the blood of the slave.

Western New York Anti-Slayery Society.

The anniversary of this Society is to be held
at Rochester Jan. 9Th and 9th. The state OF
the cause in that region will doubtless insure a
large meeting. Frederick Douglass will be
there, and other speakers will be invited. We
Should love to attend this meeting and renew
acquaintance with friends of former years,
whose kindness and hospitality as exhibited to-
Iard us while We wcrc. proclaiming the gospel
OF Anti Slavery among them, We can never for
get; but it is impossible for us to do so. There
is not in our wide country a more hopeful field
for the reception of the principles OF Liberty
Than Western New York. The old leaders of
the cause in that region have indeed bewildered
themselves and deludcd others by their politi-
cal stwistifcations,' but there is at bottom an
earnest hatred of slavery which, under proper
influences, may be brought to manifest itself in
wise and beneiccnt action. The North. Star
and the eloquent ~pleadings of its Editor have
already done much coward the formation of a
sound public sentiment, and will doubtless do
still more in time to come. Courage, friends {!
the victory is sure.

after discussion, werc postponed till another

Convention at Syracuse.

The timo for holding this Convention has
been changed from tho sth to the 10th of Janu-
airy, to prevent interference with the ~annfver-
sary of the Western New York Society. We
cannot Withhold an expression of the pleasure we
have felt at seeing the call for this Convention.
The Central and Western portions of New
York are inhabited by an enterprising, prosper
GUS and intelligent population, combining in no
small degree the wise f~orethought and indomi-
table energy of the Yankee character with the
frankness and generosity so characteristic of
communities still farther West. There is among
them less of narrow bigotry and sectarianism
than prevail in New England, and a higher
mental and moral culture than the pioneer pop
ulation of the West has yet attained to. They
have passed through the e~migrant stage, and
are rapidly crystalizing into a homogeneous So
ciety. They are therefore in a condition cmi-
nently favorable for the reception of the truths
which it is the mission of Abolitionists to un-
fold. For several years past, owing to peculiar
circumstances, but mainly to the detection of
many who were once prominent in the cause,
this field has not been much cultivated by the
friends of the American Anti-Slavery Society,
but their attention is now turned toward it, and
we confidently expect that they will enter in
and reap a glorious harvest, the product of the
good seed sown in former years, which neither
the poisonous atmosphere of treachery, nor the
deadly sirocco of sectarian bigotry and political
management have been able to destroy. Our
strong men-our Garrison, Phillips, Quincy,
Douglass, Burlcigh, Pillsbury-ought to attend
the Syracuse Convention. The movement, now
that it is begun, should not be suffered to fail
or falter for lack of the aid which minds SO gift
cd can bestow. Let them spare a little time
from their abundant labors in the Old Bay State
to kindlc anew the fires of Freedom upon al
tars where for so long a period they have but
dimly burned, but from which the light may
penetrate far and wide, ~dispelling the murky
vapors of a false Republicanism and a spurious
Religion. The journey from Boston to SYRIA
cuse, by railroad, is a trihe, while the good
work to be done there in enlightening the minds,
warming the hearts, and arousing the conscien-
ces of a multitude will form a pleasant episode
in their anti-slavery experience. Friends by
this blast of our Buglc, which we hope you will
hear across the mountains, VIC summon you to
the Syracuse Convention.

THIS CHRISTIAN C~ouNrRY.-The Shelby,
Ky. News, gives an account of the cowhi-
ding of the Rev. G. w. Robinson, by the
Chief Patrol of the town, assisted by his dep
uty. Mr.. Robinson's offence was that he
had established a Sabbath school for certain
negroes under his control, and such others
rs had permission from their masters to at
tend.
The cowhiding was performed on Sunday
in the school-room.-Er. paper.
Father Zachary thinks the Bible is the
best of books, and wishes it was in the hands
of everybody, yet he is under solemn oath to
punish all who teach slaves to read it, with
something worse than cowhiding. Zachary
fought nearly all his battles on Sabbath days,
and church members clectioneered for him
on the Sabbath, while on their way TO and
from their churches, and at the doors of
their churches, and some ministers election
eered for him in the pulpit; then why
should they not cOwhide on the Sabbath, any
u who teaches a slave to read a book that
condemns war and the whole system of
government that Zachary is sworn to admin
lister ?-Pfedsure Boat.
