Machinery for Washing Dishes.

Mr.. Joel Houghton, of Ogden N. Y, has
invented machine for Washing dishes 80
as ''to save the aromen,tolks deal of trouble"
The dishes are placed in rack and set up
right when il is carried to vessel contain
ing water and little soap, and by turning a
crank the dishes on the rack are whirled in
great style to remove all the dirt. The un-
clean water is then drawn off and replaced
by clean boiling water, and the crank again
turned few seconds. The dishes are then
clean, nnd can remain in the rack, which OBJ
viates the repeated handling of the dishes.
About two years ago, one Of our subscribers
invented very ingenious machine for
washing the floor All that was nescessary to
be done to it, was to turn the handle, move
it every square yard, and supply it with
clean water. By turning the handle it scrub
ded the floor, wiped itup, ahd wrung out
the cloth. 1t had spring, drum with a
cord on it, and few levers peculiarly COM
bined and worked by cams, all operated by

pursue mad counsels. and disregard the ad-
monition of the Father ofhis Country.
The mission of Pennsylvania is lofty
one. Hers is TO fulfil her obligation to the
Union--to respect and maintain her own
rights, and the rights of her sister states She
ought by no means or sinister appliances 10
suffer herself to be made the instrument 10
promote or advance the illicite or selfish de.
signs of others who may be less patriotic
than herself. The interests of Pennsylva-
MIA are in harmony, and intimately blended
with the Legitimate interests of every mem
Der of the confederacy. The protection of
her sister states in their appropriate rights is
the protection of her own !; for all the Statss
have common interest in the maintenance
OF Estate rights" and the preservation o. the
Union. She has as high stake in the pres
ervation OF the glorious institutions which
surround us, as any member of the confede-
racy; and from her position from the worth
and patriotism of her poulation, she should
stand the great protectress of the Union, re-
straining, by her dignity, the spirit of fac
hon and fana!icism on the one hand, and
calming intemperate resentment on the other.
She should hush by her persuasive voice the
spirit of contention, and point TO the Consti-
tuition as the only standard by which all fed
eral controversies must be adjusted. Your
committee do not despair of the Republic,
but fondly trust that, although there may be
few factious and impetuous individuals
within its bosom, who would, in their mad
zeal, hazard all upon an impractcable expe-
riment or naked abstraction, yet there is
lofty patriotism, noble forbearance, and an
undying love of liberty and justice among
thepeople, sufficient to preserve and bind it
together against all the assaults of its ene-
mics. And may God grant that it may bs
perpetual.

The Wife of Gen. jackson.

The influence of this woman over her hus-
band is said to have been very extraordinary.
She was OF obscure origen and totally une9-
ucated. Yet she inherited from nature those
fine and noble traits Of her sex 10 such per-
lection, that her power and destinations
were very great. Gen. Jackson was attach
ed to her in earlylife, but by some means,
the matter was interrupted and she married
another, who proved villain and the con-
nection most unhappy. Gen. Jackson be.
came again interested in her; the conse-
quence was divorce, when he was married
to her. She is said to have..possesed none of
those accomplishments that are supposed 10
adorn fashionable life; reared in the back
woods, seeing and knowing little of elegant
aud refined society Yet her fine person
strong affections and good sense, the three
great essentials of woman, enabled Eer to
take and hold with irresistible force the pas.
sions of that bold, turbulent, strong and fiery
warrior and statesman to whom she was
welded. 1t was the the Lion held in the
embrace Of the Fawn. The influence she
exercised is said to have bordered on
the superstitious. He imagined that no acts
of his could succeed, or be carried. out, a.
verse to her will, or in opposition to her feel
ings. She seemed his guardian angel, by
day and by night holding in her hands his
life, his fate, his all. An. intimate friend Of
his says, that so long as he lived he wore
her miniature near his heart, and never allu-
ded to her except in manner SO subdued
and full of reverence, that the listener was
deeply impressed with her transcendeni
worh.-[Exeter News Letter.

Society In London.

That "there are more things in Heaven
and earth than are dreamed of" in the phil
osophy of the wisest ofmen, is proved by
every days experience. A correspondent
writes from London as follows of new
phase in life,-at least, new to us in the new
world, though we doubt not some of the
practical or progressive minds among us will
take hint from this new mode of life:
owe have many modes of getting living
in London which you know scarcely by
Nance. g. the vending Of cat and dog
meat. There are upwards of three hundred
itinerant retailers Of this article daily peram.
bulating the streets of London and its envi.
rons Upwards of five hundred worn out
horses are slaughtered every week 10 supply

ing. This Is sold by the Wholesale. dealer to
the retailer at Ids. per cwt in winter and 16s
in summer; these retailers sell il TO the own
ers of cats and dogs at I'd. per lb. Some re.
tailers vend as much as cwt per day, and
the whole three hundred average'about half
cwt.-the price is increaed for all purcha.
ses below pound in weight. Thus the fur
ni,hng boiled horse fr,sh to the dogs and
cats of London costs their owners not less
than ESQ, 900 year. Humble as this mode
of getting living is, there are many instances
on record where individuals have, by pursu-
ing it. acquired comfortable provision for
old age We wish that there was no more
degrading employment followed in our grea.
metropolis; the vendors OF cat and dog meat
are gentlemen compared with tens Of thou
sands of their fellow citizens.

MARRY IN HASTE AND REPENT AT Ir,sr,r

"The descriptions were high-wrought-the

direct from Paris,-even the bridal chamber yss
thrown open to vulgar gaze, and The lnup,ial

The honeymoon had scarcely waned, when n
flare up occurred, and separation followed.

Murder 7rias at Hoseem,


Daniel II. Pearson was put on trial in
Cambridge, on Tuesday, charged with the
murder Of his wife and twin children, at
Wilmington Mass, in April last. He il
on trial for the murder of his wife FIRST
II was horrible tragedy; the woman was
discovered covered with wounds. and with
bsoocy knife in her hand, evidently pla-
ced there after death. A quantity of coarse
black hair, similar to Persons, was found
in the other hand. Tie children were
found covered with blood,o with six, and
the other with five stabs in the neck. The
prisoner is said 10 have been the victim of
cruel hoax, concocted by some williams
--he- e-h~l---r--------I-.i--
false TO him.
The first witness called was Nathan
Pearson, the father of the prisoner. He
had been TO visit the deceased the night
previous, when she was alone with her
children in bed. The next morning, hear
ing an alarm, he went and found them
murdered as above. Prisoner provided
for deceased, but " as seldom at The house.
The prisoner said something several years
ago about separation from his wife, but
not much.
The witness was treated with great del.
icacy by both sides, in consequence Of his
peculiar situation as father testifying a.
gainst his son on charge of murder
The prosecution takes the ground that
Pearson came after the father left,and com.
mitted the murder, and will endeavor to
show that he was seen in theivicinity next
morning. The effort of the murderer thew
say, was to make it appear,the woman had
committed suicide after killing the children.
couple Of bloody papers were found
on the table, one of which said
"Marfha-Your proposition l consent
to, that is, to give you six hundred dollars.
and part, and you are at liberty TO marry
when you please.
"(signeO d. II. PEARSON"
A despatch from Boston, Feb. 27, SAYS:
"The defence in the case of Pearson, on
trial for the murder of his wife and two
slain children, was reached to-day. The
prisoners counsel contend that the mind of
the accused is not sufficiently balanced to
be accountable for any crime that he may
commit. 1t is stated that insanity has run
through the family, and that he has lacked
intelleft since he was poy."

Report on Federal Relations.

Mr.. BEAUMONT, chairman Of the committee,
submitted the Jolloring-Read in the House Of
Representatives., Monday, Feb. 2s.
The system of government formed By the
fsthers of the republic is, perhaps, the most
perfect and best calculated to secure the bles-
sings of civil, religious and political liberty
to our race, that ever was devised by the wis.,
dom and benevolence of man. To under
stand il is to admire it with profound rever-
ence. All the confusion or arrangement
that has occurred since its organization has
been occasioned by an ignorance of its ad.
mirable relations or hostility TO its safe limi-
taiions Rightly administered and undistur-
bed by faction, it moves on in perfect har-
mony-but guided by unskillful or mischiev-
ous hands, its symmetery is destroyed and
its harmony deranged.
Like all benevolent institutions, however
calculated TO secure the happiness and well
fare Of man, it has had Its adversary, the
spirit Of malevolence and misanthropy. run
ming parallel with it. Thus far, however,
sustained by the patriotism of free people,
under the favor of kind Providence, it has
survived the unpatriotic Vaccinations of its
enemies, and still stands the wonder and ad-
miration of the world. 1t was formed by
body Of ilnstrious men, such as the world
has never seen before, and probably will
never see again men who had passed
through the hardships and privaiions atten-
'dant on rsclaiming savage land from its
'barbarous possessors, and who had walked
through the fiery ordeal of seven years
war with the most formidable power OIL earth
in a struggle for liberty and independence
They were chastened by danger and purified
by suffering, and they have left 10 us and
posterity this beautiful monument of their
virtue.and patriotism. Then let us rally a.
round it and preserve it and hand it down 10
those who may occupy our places, as fresh
and nnimpaired as we receive ii at the hands
Of our patriotic fathers.
To secure the continuance Of tEis Unio
which is the ark of our safety, and in which
are embarked SO many blessings to ourselv-
es and the hopes of the millions who shall
come after us, is the highest duty that an A.
merican citizen is called on TO perform,
short Of his duty TO his God. And may we
not say that our duty to our country, which
secures TO us such choice blessings, and sus-
tains US in the dignity ol freemen-which
enables US to worship Him according TO the
dictates of our own conscience is blended
with our duty to our Maker!

The Real and Ideal.

The mind of man is like a. moving pic.
ture, supplied with objects not only from con-
temptation on things present, but from the
fruitful sources of recollection and anticipa-
ton. Memory retraces past events, and res
torres an ideal reality 10 scenes which are
gone by forever-They live again in revived
imagery and we seem to hear and see with
renewed emotions what we heard and saw
at former periof.-Succession of such re-
collected circumstances often form series
of welcome memorials.

FOR THE GIRLS.

How many foolish girls have ruined them.
selves by marrying young men who had
nothing TO recommend them but riches. "Is
he rich ?" has been the inquiry, when a
suitor has presented himself-Foolishg girls!
Rather ask. Is he inteligent?-Is he indus.
trious! Is he virtuous' Let these questions
be answered in the affirmative, and if he has
not second shirt TO his back we will an.
swer for his course. Wealth may be lost,
but the good qualities of the heart will al
ways remain, like the sunshine to warm and
to bless. Remember this.
