In the canton of Basic, IN Switzerland,
there is law which compels every newly
married couple 70 plant SIX trees Immediate
ly after the ceremony, aud two more on the
birth Of every child. They are planted on
the commons, frequently near the high
road and great part Of them being fruit
trees, are at once both useful and ornamen-

SEWING MACHINE.

We had an opportunity, on Monday last, of exam
lining one of Blodgett and Lerow's improved Rotary
Sewing Machines, at Yarbrough's Hotel in this City.
This machine is ingeniousy contrived and con-
structed, though it operates in simple manner and
can be worked by lad a girl of twelve. 1t can
be made to yard per minute, sixty yards per
hour; and the work is executed inst well as ii
done by hand. This machine weighs about fifty
pounds, and is kept in operation by freddie, which
is worked by the foot, leaving both hands to attend
the thread and the CLOTH But we shall attempt
any thing like description Of it, every body who
can have opportunity of witnessing its operations
will no doubt do so. s-
Mr.. Reston, of Wilmington. is here with the right
to sell these machines. He contemplates, we learn
a trip to the Western part of the State.
Mr.. Barr, Tailor of Wilmington, has used one oil
these machines for several months past with much
advantage and success,

BEAUTIES OF TIE TELEGRAPH. The Magnet

BEAUTIES OF TELEGRAPH. The Magnetic
Telegraph is thing for which the newspapers pay
great deal of money, and yet it does little else
than lead them into plumbers. We know of no
law, common and statute, which requires a man to
pay for falsehoods, and yet the associate press Of
this, and other cities pay high price for them al
most every day. In election news, particularly,
these blunders of the telegraph have become so
common that the results are hardly known as ear
ly as they were formely known BY the slow mail
Thus in regard to the Kentucky election, it was
first announced that the Wing candidate for Cover
nor was chosen-then the Democratic again
the Whig-and now it has settled down again on
the Democratic. The same authority made SINH
lar errors i'll respect to one or two members Of Con-
gress in the State. The first tidings defeated
Stanly in North Carolina but the result is that he
is elected by large majority. In Alabama, the
Union ticket had swept the entire State, according
to the first announcement but after another of
the spokes of this wheel dropped out, and now
find two, and probably three, seccssonists chosen
to Congress. How much reliance can be placed OH
any statement coming from so full of
plumbers? Boston Mall.

Ithey are melting away before the energy Of the
white race. Most of them are children of slaves
old fashioned Long Island Dutch slaves-and there
is every reason to believe that had these children
or descendants remained slaves they would now be
we'll provided for, as their parents were, by good
masters and instead of idle, drunken paupers in
testing our villages and putting us to good deal
of trouble and expense, they would be hearty ro-
bust steady quiet people, enjoying all the comforts
and some of the uxufies of life. Now, then, will
you please to tell us what these three hundred ana
forty negroes have gained by emancipation what
have they gained by tTeedom!
Respectfully, yours, ). L. H.
This communication, and the Tribunc's comments
upon it, called out one of the Trustees OF Jamaica
who expressed himself as follows
my attention has been called to the second ar
ticle in the Tribune on this subject 1t appears to
assert. or at least to imply that the wants OF the
colored popuation are disregarded and every pro
iact for their amelioration discountenanced. But
happily this is far from being the case.
/. Private individuals have contributed and Ia
bored for their benefit. Some years ago an esteem
ed clergyman expended over one thousand dollars
in sustaining Il school and clothing the scholars
Shortly after, combination of individuals formed
Il school, which was continued as long as children
could be prevailed upon to attend. Even then, II
cost more to cothe and watch the scholars, than all
other contingencies combined. Sunday SCHOOLS
have been established and children and grown per-
sons are admitted among the whites III the regu-
! larly organized Church schools
| 2 The writer is at fault with regard to the ad-
mission of the colored children in the Free Schools.
Applcations made to the Trustees have been III
.variably answered, there is nothing to hinder.
But, we'll knowing the popular PreJudlce' ana pc
heving that if it once arouSedlt would result
ultimately in their injury, l have Gdtzsed them
not to go.
3. The author Of the article was writing at ran
dom when he asserted that persons paying taxes
for the support of the schools were knocking IN Han
for admission for their children. In our District
i there happen to be but two such persons one or
them having no children, and the other two-both
Of which attend school.
! f. Public sentiment is healthy upon this point
Efforts are being made to consolidate the several
Districts, and then Il portion Of the public money
will be appropriated to separate school for them
if thew miW attend.
! The condition Of this unhappy class OF our cltl-
zens is truly deplorabIe The most of them are ig-
norant superstitious, and in state OF abect servi-
de, infinitely worse than the subjects Of the hard
est t;rsk-m;ster of the South. They are slaves to
their appettes and passions And why Not be-
cause Of the scarcity of privileges or of assistance,
but because of the counteraction produced by the
proprietors of score of places where hard earnings
are received and Alclholic poison disbursed.

y WORD TO YorSG MEN. Every young man
should determine to be intelligent-to acquire the
general knowledge which will qualify him to profit
by the society of the well-informed especially that
knowledge which will make him master of the bu-
sincs5 employment he adopts. And for both
these purposes, whatever be his profession, there
numerous opportunities and facilities in this city,
of which he may avail himself.
Every one has leisure hours. But how are these
occupied by multitudes Franklin in his youth
a mechanic. And then by his eager persever-
ing efforts to acquire perfect knowledge, he laid
the foundation upon which was built the comely,
magnificent superstucture of his future fortune.
Wealth, usefulness, and worldwide fame crowned
his mature years. How few among the mechanics
youth in other employments in this city appre-
ciatc and faithfully improve as he did, their leis
ure moments for mental culture and acquisition.
If any youth is DESTROYS to learn how he may
mise the time which he may call his own, and make
the most of it, for this end let him read the biogra
ply of the sclfmade man. He there may
how the mere fragments of time may be turned
to good account. Upon regard paid to any exam
pie like his, the mutitudes who throng the drink
ing saloons and grog shops, the long evening hours
wasted there and in the haunts of pleasure, arc a
sad comment. To change this pernicious course,
and these vicious habits of young men in this city,
to guide others who may succeed and prevent their
adopting this course and these habits, is object
of vital Impotence to the public, we'll to their
welfare.

CoNsoL1NG IDEA OF DEATH. 81 congratulate
you and myself" wrote John Foster to friend,
that life is passing away. What superlatlvely
grand and consoling idea is that of death! With
out this radiant idea this delightful morning star,
indicating that the luminary of eternity is going
to rise, life would, to my view, darken into mid
night melancholy. Oh the expectation of living
here, and living thus, always, would be indeed a
prospect Of overwhelming despair. But thanks to
that fatal decree that dooms us to die-thanks to
that Gospel which opens the vision of an endless
life and thanks above all, to that Saviourfriend
who has promised to conduct all the faithful through
the sacred trance of death into scene of paradise

4 GREAT Man. The highest and noblest con-
ception of a great and good man, is one who un-
dcrstands the power of his soul, and is contin-
alIy exertng that power for the promotion of good
who cherishes deep and solemn sense Of sacred
ness of duty and hesitates to discharge that
duty, be the consequences so injurious to his
interests; who in matters of religion lends naught
but a deaf ear to the loud voices of sects, naught
but blind eye to all party creeds, but scans the
works of nature, the revelations of Scripture, and
the warnings of the human heart who gives all
truth welcome, however it may conflict with his
pride who is ready to execute inflexibe JUS
tice, how much soever it may affect his interest :;
who rebukes all evil doing, however high the
transgressor may stand whose sympathies always
espouse tho cause of the oppressed, the down-trod
den and the injured.

SLEEPING Flowers. Almost all flowers sleep
during the night. The marigold goes to bed with
the sum- and with him rises weeping. Many plants
are sensitive that their leaves close during the
passage of a cloud. The dandelion opens at five
or six in the morning. and shuts at nine in the
evening. The 'goat-beard 5" wakes at three in the
morning, and shuts at five six in the afternoon
The common daisy shuts up its blossom in the eve
ming and opens its days eye to meet the early
beams of the morning sun. The crocus, tulip, and
many others, close their blossoms at different hours
toward evening. The ivy leaved lettuce opens at
eight in the morning. and closes forever at four in the
afternoon. The night towering cereus turns night
into day. 1t begins to expand its magnificent sweet
scented blossoms in the twilight, it in full bloom at
midnight, and closes never to open again with the
dawn of day In a clover-icld not leaf opens
until after sunrise SO says celebrated English
author who has devoted much time to the study
of plants, and often watched them during their
quiet slumbers. Those plants which seem to be
awake all night he styles {" the bats and owls of
the vegetable kingdom"
