MIR. Cooley AND his LADv,s BOOK.

he circulation OF this popular periodl-
cal as now reached sixty thousand copies,
But w of our readers are aware of the i'm
menscamount of labor and capital expend-
ed in Citing out this vast edition. A large
amountof the labor is performed by te-
males-ach as the stitching binding and
coloring. Many of these females earn
comfortable living by the employment thus
afforded thm, while a number of them
have, by ,hir earnings, been enabled to ac-
quire for themselves comfortable homes
In making arrangements for such immense
editions, it reqires some s'looking ahead,'
and Mr.. Godey's probably now getting up
the July number In fact, we know, that
he has already prepared some of the plates
for the next Januay number. Perhaps the
true key to Mr.. Goiey's success is, his un-
firing and unceasing devotion to this enter
prise, which he has hilt up from its foun-
dation. No man eHertainS higher or
more exalted opinion If women, than Mr..
Cooley, which eminenty qualities him for
the position he occupies, as the proprietor
OF periodical almost wiolIv devoted to
the interests of the sex. The numerous
costly engravings which appear in each
number, could never be furnished but for
the immense edition that is sold. MIR. Co
dey has in his possession all his valuable
plates, numbering about one thotsand. which
at a low average are now wortl about $50
each.
With the management and suIerintend-
ence OF such vast concern, il cannot be
expected that Mr.. Cooley would devote
much time to literature, yet he is not with
out merit as wriie-- Ts- or ,"e ,,ntur-
ial craft ente rtain finer conversational pow-
ers or can relate an anecdotc with more
zest, fund OF which he has always ready
at command. Mr.. Cooley is thriving and
prosperous man, Pecuniarily and corporeal-
Iy, which with am amiable disposition and
IN abundance of good nature, could not
all to render him as he is, one of the hap
DeSt of men. No one who has noticed
'otund, active little man, threading Chest
nut street with quick pace, can fail to re-
'ognize the proprietor of the gladys Book"
rom the portrait in one of its late numbers.

BLOOMSBURG DEMOCRAT.

Our old friend Colonel Tate, of the COL
umbia Democrat, has considerably enlarged
and otherwise improved his paper, and has
associated with himself John G. Freeze,
Esq, as assistant editor. We are pleased
with these evident signs of prosperity in
our contemporary-pleased to see himself
so well pleased, for we love to see others
happy, and the Colonel is in ecstacies with
his new habilments and enlarged sphere.
The Colonel in his raptures, thinks "the
general appearance of the Democrat, must
win public appreciation, and speedily OBJ
tain unexampled patronage" and predicts
that it will at once stake its place in the
front rank of the newspaper galaxy, and
thereby become the model newspaper of
Northern Pennsylvania" We hope his
iondeSt anticipations may be realised. But
he should not be too Sangnine. We are
often doomed TO disappointment. And he
should also recollect that il
ih WIN our Judgments as our watches, none
Are Just alike-yet each believes his own
But the Colonel is persevering and ener-
getic, and his whole soul is wrapped up in
bis sheet. The Democrat is emphatically
The Colonel perSonifed, perfect mirror of
But it would be well enough to
the advice of Ovid
Foras his own bright image he surveyd
He fell in love with the fantastic shade
And oer the fair resemblance hung unrnoved
Nof knew, fund youth, il was himself he loved.

CHOLERA AT TRINITY. LA.

We published last week an account Of
the ravages of cholera at Trinity, Louisiana.
Since then we have received the Trinity
Advocate dated March 9th from which we
take the following extracts. The cholera
has abated but inundation has added to their
cup of afiliction.
The Advocate records the deaths by
cholera of three persons on the Odd, one on
the 24th-two on the Goth of February,
and one on the 4th of March. Mr.. VIM.
Snyder, formerly of this place, died at Nat
chez on the 25th, the day after he left
Trinity.
From the Trinity Advocate, ofthe 9th nsl
In consequence of the calamities that have
befallen us, in the shape of cholera and over
flow, Trinity has suffered a considerable loss
in the amount of her population, for the pre-
sent, at least.
Whether she will suffer permanent dete-
roration of prosperity, is for time TO determine.
Some persons have expressed belief that
our late atliction, from disease, was a conse-
quence of the decomposition of saw dust, and
tudt int IOCdiiOn VI HIlH at 'h'c p'UNS
would continue TO make the town unhealthy.
We entertain no such opinion. There have
been other exciting causes. TO which we at
tribute The occurrence
There is no sicknessh here now, and il would
appear that those who have business here,
have no reason TO fear any more at this place,
than elsewhere.
With melancholy grief we register in this
number, the deaths from cholera, in this
place and its vicinity, that hu~o occurred
since the publication of our last Whether
lis ravages are now stayed or not, is for an
overriding Providence 10 declare, by the
dispensation of mercy o. misery, according
to its will We always hope for good, but
should prepare 10 meet evil.
Let every one be cautious to avoid the ex-
citing causes, and prepared to repulse the
enemy whenever it appears.
In addition to the awful visitation that has
shrouded our lately thriving and lively town
in woe, we are nearly overflowed by high
water, and have before us the dark and gloomy
prospect of complete inundation The river
is nearly as high now as it was in '44, and
none doubt but that it will be much higher,
The pictures of sorrow and of ruin are en-
hbited in striking features TO our view. May
He who tempers the breeze to the tender
condition of incipient life, relieve us from the
urlhen OF afllction that now weighs heavily
non us.

TAILORING BUSINESS
WASHING MADE EASY.

The Harrisburg Telegraph says, "by seme dis.
tanned that the troublesome laborious and woman
shaving drudgery of washing can be made so easy
as to make 1t a mere pastime to those engaged in
1t. The testimonials in this respect ample and
unquestonahle. Ii has been in use in England
for some time is in use in all the Eastern cities
and has been recently introduced into several ia
miles in this place"
The agent for the above discovery, Mr. WIN.
NJ. LEEBRlCk, is now stopping at Mrs. Whar-
tons Hotel, where, for dollar, any one can OBJ
tain the secret and all the necessary directions.

&C. The Telegraph line is now extend
ed from Mauch Chunk to Berwick and
through Bloomsbury TO Danville. The peo-
pie of Bloomsburg are required to subscribe
$1,000 to the stock, in order to get an office
there. AT Danville there will be two Off
ces we understand, one of them exclusively
for the Montour Iron Company. The
wires, we believe, are TO be extended to
Northumberland and we presume to Har-
risburg. 1t will be an easy matter to run
them over here, on the bridges, at very
small expense, but whether maintaining an
Office would pay, is another matter yet to
be determined.

A HAPPY THOUGHT.

The sentiment of the following lines
from late English paper, are as beautiful
as they are true, and may be read with pro-
fiji by many:
"There is a voice within me,
And It's so sweet voice,
That its soft lispings win me,
Till tears start to mine eyes;
Deep from my soul it sPringeth,
Like hidden melody;
And evermore it singeth
This song of songs to MOI
"This world is full ofbeauty,
As other worlds above;
And if we did our duty,
1t might be full of love"
u IMPROVEMENT IN SAW MLLs.-The
Lycoming Gazette records an invention by
VIM. Fink, Esq, of that county, which is
important to lumbermen. 1t consists in ac-
complishlng by machinery of the most sim
pie character, the means of returning the
carriage without stopping the saw when a
board has been sawed, and at the same time,
of setting the log for any thickness which
may be desired. In word, the sawyer

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.

A dreadful accident occurred Yesterday,
about III o'clock, A. NJ, AT the store of Capt.
F.. 4. kuiZner about two miles above this
place. Two yonng men named William EN-
mans and Augustus Jodon, went out after p-
geonS, and after returning TO the store of
Capt kplZner, indulged in going through the
military evolntions with Two guns which
were then in The room, which they thought
were unoaded, when the latter pulled the
trigger, and the gun went of, taking effect in
the brain above the left eye, killing the for
mer instantaneous.y. Yonng Emmans had his
gun cooked and snapped it at Jodon, as his
gun was found uncocked with the pan open.
When the accident occurred several persons
were in the store, and state that il was en-
tirely accidental. Jodon was almost out of
his mind, and will often think with horror of
the frghtful deed.
Young Emmans was % years old, and left
