dred and seven cents. Kendall took the dollars
Qeaving us the cents,) and thus made purse
of Sl5. With this fund he sat down to play.
The play went on until daylight. At o'clock
Kendall came into the Office, paid up the $40
he had borrowed, told Greeley he would give
up his situation, anil asked all hands to partake
of 'pious gorge that afternoon. All hands
were but too happy to do that same, and still
more happy when their felow-craftsman an
nounced that he was the fortunate possessor
Of about $500, won at the little game Of poker
aforesaid, and that with the 800 he proposed
'to start paper in New Orleans. In due time
the Picayune appeared-was success-winning
reputation for Kendall as polished writer and
brilliant wit, and what was better, giving him
princely income. He Ihas had many hair
breadth escape since that; was among the Sante
Fe prisoners, and given up as dead, but after
wards released; he went through the Mexican
war; has passed years in foreign travel, until,
satiated with enjoyment and tired Of the ex-
citement of city life, he retired to Texas, and is
now master of thousands of acres Of land, and
reckons more than hundred thousand sheep,
cattle, and mules, as his individual property"

Like most inventors he Struggled for years with
poverty and embarrassment before his inven-
ton was perfected and recognized as valuable.
Now all the patents use an essential portion Of
his machine, and pay him tribute on all machines
made, from which he received last year the gen.
erous sum of Sl43,O00. Contrary to the pre-
dctions Of many on the first introduction OF
sewing machines, the sewing girls-those whom
necessity compels to earn their livelihood by
the use of the needle-have been greatly bene-
fitted by this invention. Thousands of them
have found better remuneration and lighter toll.
1t is no uncommon thing for those who, toiling
night and day, could earn only one or two dol
lars per week, to now receive from three to ten
dollars per week for operating sewing ma
chine two-thirds as many hours, and with light
er labor. Indeed, many girls who own their
machines have earned more than ten dollars per
week. In the family they are rapidly becoming
indispensable, and mothers who have several
children to clothe find the sewing machine a
great relief from the incessant slavery of the
needle

He insisted that society in self-defence had q
right to abolish slavery, even without compen-
sation to the masters. But we must conclude
our extracts with the following passage, which
he emphatically adopts from Mr. Jefferson;
"You must approach it-you must hear it
you must adopt some plan Of emancipation, or
worse will follow"
Such was the sentiment prevalent among the
enlightened minds of Virginia, twenty
years ago. Who will have the courage to break
the long silence of the public conscienceP We
should have hopes of Governor Wise, but for
his vain expectation Of Presidential nomina-
ton. Perhaps the great work is left for young
er men, whose minds are less sophisticated by
following the crooked policy of the old and cor
rupt parties Of the day.

FAMILY HAPPINESS.

An estimable lady has recently written book
in which the prominent point is made that the
happiness of woman is entrusted to man, and
entirely dependent upon him. This has been
the talk SO long that, without thinking much
about it, people are apt to adopt it at the start.
The result of the idea, carried out, is babyism
on the one side and tyranny on the other, and
would be universal but for the individuality of
the sexes that will assert ITSELF The woman
who begins her married career with the suppo-
sition that she is to be through life a mere ap
pendage of the mana frail creature depending
entirely upon her lord and master for happiness,
is in a fair way to realize condition of wretch
ed disappointment. The marriage compact is
but compact two-sided affair, requiring the
assent of both to make it complete. So far as
the bond goes, it is mechanical as contract for
making candle-boxes, or the letters of joint
stock concern, where both parties bind them
selves to the pleasant duty of studying the in
terest of each other. The man, the outdoor
partner-the woman the indoor. United in
this interest, it is perfectly idle to talk about
one partners having the others comfort or
prosperity entirely in his keeping.
They are individuals, and it belongs to both
to pull together. Looking after the interest,
however, of each other, forms the bond that is
most enduring, and looking at the happiness of
the other BY either, works his or her happiness.
The whining sentimentalist who has fretted a
partner into unhappiness or driven him out Of
the house, as is sften the case, has no right to
expect that he will strive very hard to make her
happy; and she has no one to blame but her
self, for, by her annoyance of the other partner
of the concern, she has, in her business capaci-
ty wrought her own misery The woman has
her happiness in her own control, if she is wise
enough to avail herself of it. She is an indi-
vidual, and does not sacrifice her soul with her
name. The man cannot rejoice or suffer for
her, nor pray for her. nor work out her saliva
ton for her. She must do all herself The
partnership works admirably where all the
springs and pullies and wheels harmonic with
each other, and the whole machine runs smooth
ly, each part operating for itself in aiding the
rest, but it CRATES harshly when the oil Of mu-
tual kindness is wanting. The complaint of
unkindness, nine times in ten, comes from those
who have induced it as a return for its full
equivalent in some form or other, and who
should be the last to say a word. Ungallant as
this sounds, it is nevertheless true, and as the
marriage record shows that there is considera-
BILE doing in these days, these timely hints may
prevent deal of unhappiness.

THE NEW ORLEANS PICAYUNE.

The following story of the origin of the New
Orleans Picayune, for the last 15 years and still
the leading newspaper of the Southwest, is told
by writer in the Albany Statesman
"Twenty three years ago we stuck type in
the same alley, in the printing Office of the
New Yorker, edited and published by Horace
Greeley. Geo. Wilkins Kendall, (the protector
Of the New Orleans Picayune,) Morgan Bates,

the Detroit Advertiser,) O. A. Bowe, (who was
a fellow apprentice with Greeley, and afterward
published paper at Little Falis,) stood at the

abandoned the chair editorial for sheep raising
on the plains of Texas. He left the Yorker
office to commence the Picayune, having ac-
quired the capital for that enterprise in a way
that would hardly be considered orthodox in a
moral community. Before leaving New York,
Kendall had 'tramped' the South as a Jour.
printer for information, as he said,
through every principal village and city in the
southern states, sometimes on steamboats,, some-
times in stagecoaches, (there was but one rail
road in the South then, from Charleston to Au-
gustav and not unfrequently on foot, with his
baggage on his back, pendant in handkerchief
from his walking stick. Sometimes be was
flush and well dressed-sometime strapped
and seedy,-but always witty, genial, and gen.
tlemanly. In his adventures, he had frequent
ly been boon companion with many of the most
eminent men of the country. The Astor House
then was but just opened, and extensively visi-
ted by southerners. Itwas fashion with Ken
dali to patronize that establishment after work
ing hours. Strolling over there one evening,
after having washed up he was agreeably sur
prised to meet several gentlemen whom he had
known as merchants and lawyers and doctors,
at Natchez, Mississippi. erjuleps all round,
and a sherry cobbler apiece, some one proposed
to close the night with little game Of poker.
Kendall had but about five dollars in his watch
fob (there was no watch there but he assented,
among the rest, to the proposition. Excusing
himselff for moment. he made rush down Ann
street to the Office, where he hoped to find some
of his fellow printers with money to lend. Bates,
as foreman of the office, had been detained
making up the forms. He had eight dollars,
and we 1--WE were helping Bates) had two hun

"THE ScHooLMAsTER's IN THAT BED."-A
correspondent of the New York Waverly gives
the following as one of many incidents that be-
fell "boarding round schoolmaster :" II had
been teaching in Mason County, in this, the
Sucker State, and this term was boarding round.
One evening after school one of my little schol-
ars stepped up to me and said:-

naturally anxious to see them. 1t seemed, how
ever, was to be disappointed. When we ar

the other side of the creek: so l went to bed,
execrating the luck which deprived me of see-
ing them that night. The night had well ad-
vanced when heard one of the girls come
home, and passing into the adjoining room, she
warmed herself before some Goals which were
alive on the hearth. 1t seems the old gentle
man and lady slept in the same room, but was
not aware of it then, Having warmed herself,
she turned to leave the room, when the old man

herself and coming to the side of the bed, pre-
pared to get in. Now it happened, l lay in the

me a shake and said in a suppressed whisper:

INDEPENDENcEIN SHOE PEGs.-The Augusta
(Geo.) Dispatch, in answer to the inquiry,
"What is to hinder us from manufacturing our
own Shoes" answer-the want of shoe pegs
and adds :-"Thousands of bushels of shoe pegs
are brought from the North and sold to South
ern shoe makers. Is it possible that there is
no wood in the Southern States suitable, or that
the manufacture of a shoe peg is beyond South
ern ingenuityP We know to the contrary and
we think that those who very properly advocate
the manufacture of Southern shoes, had better
begin at the beginning and let their motto be,
Independence in Shoe pegs"

THE SEWING MAcHINE.-The sewing ma
chine was first patented in 1912, and the varie-
ty of machines already invented and the num-
ber of machines sold almost surpasses belief
OF the Wheeler & Wilson patent the largest
eight years, of which 81 ,306 were sold last year.
Grover & Baker and Singer & Co., have each
sold about "a, 200 in eight years, and the whole
number of all kinds of machines sold in that
time is 95,64S, up to Nov. l, 1859. Nearly
half the whole number were sold in the last
year, showing how rapidly this ingenious and
useful little instrument is coming into general
use. Elias Howe, Jr., the original patentee of
the sewing machine, is native of Spencer

Among the attractions of the Crystal Palace
at Sydenham, there has been lately an exhibition
of birds, the largest ever brought together. 1t
comprises upwards of four hundred cages, con-
tanning more than five hundred birds. Every
possible variety of the canary was represented.
Among the oddities Of British birds were q
yellow-breasted bulfnch, and linnet that piped

varieties was very large, and the result was al
most distracting- talking, screaming and dane.

out restriction or condition except that imposed
by the Constitution We would ask our CO.
temporary 10 recollec: how the Northern de-
mocracy responded TO this demand how they
fought and blrd, and fell fighting on behalf OF
what they believed 10 be the rights OF the South,
how they were driven from place, and power
and position, and from majority were driven
INTO minority, because they contended that
the demand OF non-inteI venlon by the South
was Just, and ought TO be granted. Let our CO.
temporary tuln back TO the history OF this mem
orabie struggle, and he will find the path of the
battle marked by the great and good Northern
democr ats who sacrificed themselves in uphol-
ding the cause Of the South. Their ranks were
thInned, they suffered great and irreparable los
ses, but they never faItered, or wavereG, or
struck their flag. They fought bravely, and
without CeaSing, until they conquered and is it
now, when all that the South has demanded
has been obtained-when even the opposition
are afraid and ashamed to allude, even IN v his
per, to prohibition OF slavery by Congress or
any Wilmot-Proviso Iegislatiou- the
question has been settled by common consent,
and in the manner that the South required -
IS 1t now, we ask that the South can, with any
show OF Justice or honor, spring new issues for
which there is no practical necessity under
heaven, and ask the democrats OF The North to
expose themselves TO the same difficulties, diSas-
ters, and sacrifices which they encountered and
suffered in days gone by We would ask our
cotemporary TO consider the question 10 this
light, and say whether, even if it should BE- con-
ceded that Congress has the abstract right to
pass laws for the protection of slavery in the
4 . e.
quest for which there is practical need or
Justification, and which can only result in re.
newal OF past strifeS and dissensions
We would also respectfully ask the .HisSiS-
Stppian TO define its demand, and how 1t pro-
poses to obtain 1t. Does it propose that Con-
gress should pass set of abstract laws Tor The
regulation OF slavery in the Territories or does
1t advocate the assumption by Congress of the
power OF general legislation, and the practical
annuIment of our territorial system? or does 1t
propose that Congress should interfere to pro-
tect slavery alone, and not any other kind of
property, where neither slavery nor any other
property is attacked or impaired in the slight
est degree?
We believe in the s0undness, wisdom, and
constitutonahty of our territorial policy. We
regard the squatter-soverergnty doctrine as
false, anti-democratc, and unconstitutional.
We have faith IN the good sense, respect for law,
and love OF order of the Territories, and believe
that, IN the future as in the past, they will not
attempt to pass laws injurious 10 slave proper
ty, or vlolative OF the constitutional rights OF
their fellow citizens; and We do not believe
that there is, or is likely to be, any case where
the laws which now exist for the protection of
slavery in the Territories will prove inadequate
for that purpose.

After all :he sound and fury of the Black
Republican leaders, on the subject OF a Protec-
tive Tariff, their Convention at Chicago has
not dared to insert in its platform the doctrine
of Protection. 9he reference to the Tariff
question contained in that platform, asserts the
Democratic doctrine of tariff for reUenue,
with proper discrimination IN favor Of home
industry In other words, it asserts the prlncl-
pie of the Polk and Dallas Tariff OF '46, for
voting for which David Wilmot late Black
Republican candidate for Governor OF this state,
was denounced by the very men who now sub
scribe TO that principle, as "Brittsn Free
Trade Tory" and as a man ''1oho Mould stink
in the nostrils Of every true Pennsglvantan
toreUer ," The resolution is as follows ::
That while providing revenue for the sup
port OF the General Government, by duties u
pon imports, sound policy requires such an
adjustment Of those imposts as to encourage the
development OF the industrial interests of the
whole country, and we commend that policy
Of nationai exchanges Which secures to the
workingmen liberal wages, to agriculture re-
muneraling prices, to mechanics and manufactu-
rers an adequate reward for their skill, labor
and enterprise, and to the nation commercial
prosperity and independence.
