THE Best SEWING MAcHIsE.-Punch
Of the 9th Of March, contains the following
admirable description Of an old fashioned
sewing machine, that every bachelor should
possess:
The very best sewing machine man can
have is wife. 1t is one that requires but
kind word to pu. in motion, and rarely
gets cut Of repair, makes but little noise, is
seldom the cause Of dust, and once in mo-
tion, will 60 en- uuinterruptedly for hours
without the slightest trimming, or the small
est personal supervision being necessary
1t will make shirts, darn stockings, sew on
buttons, mark handkerchiefs, but on pima
fores, and manufacture chiIdrens frocks out
Of any old thing you may give it; and this it
will do behind your back just as well as
before your face. In fact you may leave
the house for days, and it viii 60 on work
ing just the same. II it does get out of or
der little form being overworked, it mends
IFS selfby being left alone for short time,
after which it returns to its sewing with
great vigor than ever. Of course, the ma
chimes vary great deal. Some are much
quicker than others II depends a great
deal upon the particular pattern you select.
II you are fortunate in picking out the
choiests pattern Of wife--one, for instance,
that signs whilst working, and seems to be
never so happy as when her husbands linen
is in her hand-ths sewing machine may be
pronounced perfect of ifs kind; so much so,
that there is no make-shift in the world that
can replace it, either for love or money
In short, no gentlemen's establishment is
complete without one Of these sewing ma.

Go Ahead.

This should BE- the motto Of every young
man. He may, be will meet with opposi-
ton, but he must not for moment falter.-
Opposition is beneficial to the true man. It
inspires us with q resolution not easily TO
be overcome. II calls forth the elements
of his manhood and sslf-reliance, and indu-
ces him to defend bravely the broad plat
form Of individuality upon which he stands.
The man that cannot abide the storm is
worth but little in the sunshine.
He may 20 along well for the lime being,
but when he meets with opposition, as he
surely will, be is surely Frustrated. Such
men-men that have neither the ability nor
the patience TO meet perplexity and epposi-
tiOn wherever they encounter it, are not TO
be relied upon. They may be honest
They may cherish, perhaps, the spirit of in
tegrity and Of virtue; but yet they are pow
erless in the hour of trial. They are desti-
tute of an essential element in the human
charaster-one that perlects the whole.
Young man, do not for a moment falter
when you meet with opposition. Go ahead.
Act with an energy that does not quail at
the sight of an opponent. First Of all, de-
eide for the right, and then do not swerve
from is maintenance at whatever cost
Speak the truth--it may not be popular-it
is right. Selfish uDprincipled men may
unite against you, and attempt to plot your
rum. Go ahead. Such opposition if you
are in The path of DUTY, is only for the hour,
and must be met with q frmness that knows
no defeat. Principles are eternal-men e1-
ist emily for brief time. We yet, if we
give ourselves up 10 calm reposs, 10 an in

this volume is equalled only by his modest esti-
mate of the value of his labors. He deserves the
thanks OF every friend of impartial liberty, and his
book should find place in every Anti-Slavery
household. 1t is well calculated to put our spuri-
GUS Christianity and our sham Democracy alike
to the blush of shame for the cruel prejudice
against the colored people, to which they SO in
sanely cling, and for denying to them the rights
and privileges of manhood, and booming them to

played by some of the colored men whose blood

rejected nor unreeOgnized paid to the colored de-

This work has been compiled as a means of en-
Tightening public sentiment on an interesting but
much neglected department of American History,
and is graeed with an introduction by Mrs. Har-
riet Beecher Stowe, and illustrated by engravings
of Crispus Attacks, the first martyr in the Boston
massacre of March 9Th, l770; Peter Salem, on
Bunker Hill, and facsimile autograph certih-
cate of General Washington, rendered to a colored
soldier. The increasing interest on the general
subject of Slavery invests this book with rare at
traction at the present time, for throughout its
pages are exhibited various phases of the "pecu-
liar institution, interviewer with incidents of pat
riotism and bravery of colored Americans " i'll the

"This neat volume Of nearly 400 pages is a very
curious and interesting book, not only as regards
the character of its contents, but being the pro-

educated in, Boston. 1t purports to be an effort
to stem the tide of prejudice against the colored
race and to show that they are fit for something
higher than the mental drudgery to which they
are generally doomed.
Mr.. Nell has gathered many interesting facts, and
woven them together ID a very effective manner.
He has extended his researches into the local his
tories of seventeen of the States of the Union and
presents great mass of testimony in behalf OF
the military services of the colored people, which
