ONE THING AT TImE, my dear fellow-one
thing at a time. If you attempt to lift both the
twins and your wife over the stream at once, you
will probably drop the doll of Of the little ones
and the bonnet Of the other, and the wife down
ankle deep into the atream. Some men of extra
ordinary gifts can rock the cradle and read the
paper at the came time; but few can stir the hon.
inv and calculate eclipse at once, without
burning the one and postponing the Other year
or two. You may put a. many irons in the fire as
the furnace will hold, if you time them rightly
about their coming out. But don't try to hammer
out all at once, attempt to shape an eel epcar

REGATTA commenced at Charleston, South
Carolina, on the 18th instant, and was continued
on the 18th. On the first day three races took
plnce-the first Tor prize of $500, the second for
n prize Of SIPS, and the third for prize Of $500
In the first there were elk boats, varying from
thrtysi1 to forty -four feet in length, and manned
respectively with four, six, eight, fourteen, and
sixteen osrsmen. The Becky Sharp, forty three
feet long. carrying eight oars. and belonging to
Randolph Spalding, of Darien Georgia, won the
race, performing thrce-fourths of a mile in six
minutes. In the subsequent races the boats were
smaller. The southern boats manned with
negroes.
Governor Means, of South Carolina, and suite,
accompanied by the Collector and Surveyor of the
port of Charleston, went on board the revenue cut
ter Hamilton and witnessed the races. The Becky
Sharp was formed from the trunk Of a eingle cy-
press tree Several New York boats competed, and
one of them called the Julia won the second race.
On the second day there we're three races-ono
for a prize of $500, another for prize Of 500,
and third for prize Of 8 $50. The first was won
by the Tariff, an Edisto boat; the second by the j.
w Booth, a New York boat; and the third by the
George Washin gton, also a New York boat.

tire cost being little less than 82s 900.
Our wealthy classes. in the principal cities have
expended, in years past, millions OF dollars for
goods Of this description, imported from abroad;
but, in view Of these magnificent wares, we can
see no necessity Of longer sending to Europe for
articles inferior in design and finish, and much
more expensive, than can be furnished from our
own manufactures. ..
These splendid services will remain on exhb.

those who wish to note the progress Of native art
should avail themselves Of the present opportunity.

ANEcporE.-"Therc 10 something inexpressibly
touching in an anecdote which have heard of a
foreign artist. He was an American, and had come
hither Chez and his young wife) to pain, for fame
and subsistence. They were strangers in Eng
land; they had to fight against prejudice and pow
erty; but their ahecon Tor eaon other solsoed them
They could think, least, all the way over the
great Atlantic; and their fancy (ittlo cherished
hcre) had leisure to be busy among the friends and
scenes which they had left behind A gentleman
who had not seen thu m for some time went one day
to the artists painting room, and observing him
pale and worn, inquired about his health, and af
rewards regarding his wife.
"He answered only, She has left me- and pro.
ceeded in hurried way with his work.
She was dead, and he was left alone to toll, and
and get money, and mourn The heart in which
he had boarded all HE secrets, all his hopes,
cold, and fame itself was but shadow"

Nav SrRcULATioN.--We learn that some of
our haloweil neighoors are forwarding apples TO
California. They arc packed in a manner entirely
different from the usual mode of sending apples
and one which we should think might prove effec.
tive in preserving them from rot. Each apple is
wrapped in paper and then placed in the barrel in
iayers. Between every two layers of apples is a
layer OF powdered charcoal The apples are thus
prevented from coming in contact with each other;
and from the anti putrescent qualities of the char
coal, the rot, even should il attack part of the
fruit, will be prevented from communicating to
the remainder. This plan should think good
one for preserving fruit when sent to any foreign
country. -Mains Farmer o.

propeller Oneida, and but little hope remains that
any of those on board Of her were saved. II ia
supposed that there were sevcnteen persons in all
on board, and it is rumored that besides the crew
there were two passengers. .,.
We have been unable to ascertain the names Of
the crew, but believe the officers were w. s Rich,
captain; Samuel Dulgate, lst mate; Charles Will
iams, I'd mate; E. b. Sherwood, clerk; - Ferry,
engineer; and Henry White, steward. ~.
Mr. Hulgate was resident of Ohio City, where
he had many friends, and leavcs a family who
were solely dependent upon his exertions for sup
port. 3,. ..... .,..
Mr.. Sherwood was a resident of this city, and
much esteemed. He had been married but short
time, and the probability Of his sudden and I'M
expected death is crushing blow to his wife
