Nh. HowE's SEWING MACHINE PATENg
ExrENsIoN.-A we have before stated
the application of Mr. E. Howe, Jr, fora
extension of his patent for the needle used
10 the best stsewing machines, which was for
some time pending before the commissioner
of Patents, was decided on Saturday last.
The grounds on which the application. was
made, as produced in the. argument Of his
counsel, were, that the half million Of dol
lars acquiredsby the inventor as profits, was
not sufficient remuneration for the actual
advantage derived from the use Of the5-in-
VentioD thatnew brances of industry, had
been created by,its means, and that bgits
use products had been .cbeapened and i'm;
proved, and hours of labor lessened, while
wages had been increased. After having
heard the arguments, the CommissioneEof
Patents reserved his decision until SSatur-
day last, when he granted the application
and extended the patent for seven years
In making his decision the Commissioner
expressed the opinion that theprofts which
had accrued to the inventor, were net such
as the value of the invention entitled him

How TO PREVENT SORE SHOULDERS
IN WORKING HoRsEs.-An exchange
says: "The plan We have tried and never
found to fail is to get piece of leather and
have it cut into shape so as to lie snugly
between the shoulders of the horse and the
collar. This tends off all the friction, as
the collar slips and moves on the leather
and not on the shoulders of the horse
Cbafng is caused by friction hence this
remedy is quite plausible one, and is
much better than tying slips Of leather Of
pads of sheep skin under the collar"
DR.. M. W. Phillips, in the Southern
Rural Gentleman, thus comments on the
plan above given:
Many persons in Charleston and Colum
bia, South Carolina, will remember J. J
Saaler, and We refer to him as having used
the above as early as 1926 any how. W.

HAPPY HOMES.

The homes of people are the landmarks
Of civilization. They are a standard by
which we can measure their moral and so.
cial greatness. What is nation buta large
family, possessing rights and duties, iute
rests and privileges? The influence of each
member of the family for good or evil is re-
ciprocal. As the shock of electricity vi.
brates and expands, so the influence of hu-
man actions is diffused from the centre to
the circumference of human society. The
moral power of a people is just in proper.
tion to the combined virtuous influences
which exist in the homes of the people
Hence it may be truly said, that our homes
are the nurseries of the nations greatness.
Home-cold the heart must be that does
not beat more quickly at the bare mention
of that word. What delightful associations
and recollections are connected With that
spot. A happy home gives the mind q
foretaste of the immortal state. 1t is here
that the virtues, and charities, the blessings
and realities of human life, are enjoyed
Here the sympathies Of the heart, and the
affections of the mind are nourisbed and
developed, and all that is great and good in
nature, is brought to maturity.
But what constitutes a happy home p
Religion is the chief and most important
element of human happiness; without it all
happiness is imperfect; many things are ca
pable Of yielding pleasure to the mind and
qualification to the senses, but this is the
"elixer of ife,"-tberefore, to be truly
happy, We must make our homes the temples
of religion. There are many other essen
tials to domestic happiness-duties which
we owe to God-our fellow creatures-and
ourselves; but it is almost needless to say
that religion couprehends all these.
The pleasures of literature is also neces.
sary to make happy homes. Then let it be
the ambition of all those who are solicitous
to have happy homes, to possess good IL

DAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1860.

seuce of two years, during which the fate
of the little colony was unknown in France,
relief was at last sent out under command
of Rene Laudonniere, man of intelligence,
seaman rather than soldier, who had
visited the American coast on former
voyage. He reached the shores of New
France in August, 1864, and proceeded to
the mouth of May river. Having heard
the fate of the colony at Port Royal, he re-
solved to plant settlement at the mouth
of May river, and erected Fort Caroline
The site chosen, though inferior to Port
Royal, had its attractions, also. Upon the
eminepce where the fort was built, were
"cedars, palms and bay-trees, of so sover-
eign odor, that balm smelleth nothing in
comparison The trees were enrivoned
with vines bearing grapes sufficient to make
the place habitable. Landonuiere had
some trouble in camp; but Ribault was sent
out to supercede him in the command
Soon after his arrival, however, Ribault was
again caught in storm, and driven down
the coast of Florida; and his whole feet
were dashed to pieces against the rocks full
fifty leagues south of fort Caroline Mean
while Melendez of Spain, who had followed
him from Europe, arrived in time to mur.
der the whole garrison at fort Caroline
Ribault himself, and nearly all his compan.
ions who survived the wreck, fell into bis
hands and we're put to death iu cold blood
This outrage was avenged by that brave
Frenchman, the chevalier Dominique de
Gourgues, who fitted out small feet al
his own expense, and, after getting out te
aea under other pretences, sailed directly
for Florida and put every Spauiard to the
sword, or to the same trees where the uu
fortunate Ribault and his companions had
met their fate.
But all this, and much more, is to bt
found in the History of South Carolina BY
Mr.. Simms; and hope all the young folks
will procure the book and read for them
selves. So much by way of Introducing my

MoDEsTY AND >DIGNITY.-It should be
the boast of every man that be had never
put modesty to the blush, nor encouraged i'm
uodesty to remove its mask. But we fear
there is far too little chivalry in the present
day. If young men do not chuck their
partners under the: chin, they are often
guilty of pressing their hands when the
dance affords an opportunity. There isl a
calm dignity with which to show that the.
offence has been noticed, but if LADY, con-
descends to reprove it iu words, she forces
the culprit to defend himself, and often
ends by making the breach worse. On the
other hand, let woman once overlook the
slightest familiarity, and fail to show her
surprise in her manner, and she can never
be certain that it will not be repeated

THE MOTHERS SORROW.
BY FINLET JOHNSON.
A mournful sound is breaking
Upon the summer air;
We hear the sohs of sorrow,
The fervent voice of prayer;
We see the friends all gather
Around the little bed,
Upon which lies reposing
The still and silent dead;
His little hands are folded
Across his pulseless breast:
And in his Savior's bosom
He has eternal rest.
His mother stands beside him
And calls upon the dead; -,
And parts the sunny ringlets
That cluster round his head;
Her eyes are wandering strangely,
Her looks are painful-wild;
As she falls upon the body
OF her only darling child;
And words of consolation
Are to her worse than vain,
For she knows her precious treasure
Cannot return again.
The coffin lid is closing
Oh! listen to that shrek,
1t fills the soul with sorrow
And pales the pallid cheek;
Her trembling hands she claspeth
Upon her darling's brow;
Her tender form is tottering-
God help that mother now!
For earth has no ties purer,
Than the love mother feels;
Nor such anguish as mothers,
As beside her dead she kneels.

CURIOUS RESTORATION OF SIGHT. BY

markable story of little boy, about thirteen
years of age living in Tennessee
One day during the past winter, he fall
ed to rise as early as usual At lepgsh bis
father went into the room where he lay, and
asked him why he did not get up. BE said
it seemed dark yet, and be was waiting for,
daylight. His father retired but the boy
did not make his appearance for some time.
"My son, why don't you get up3" He re.
piled, "Father, is it daylight?D eyes, long
ago" "Theu, father" the little fellow
said, ri am blind" And so it was. HE
sight was gone. His father took him to
Nashville to get the benefit of the medical
profession there, but none of the physicians
could do anything for him, and happily
made no experiments on his eyes. Some
ladies in family Of his fathers acquaint-
auce sought to cheer him in his af1iction,
and one night proposed to take him tothe
opera, that he might hear the music and
the singing. He went and was delighted:
In the course of the performance, s!l at
once he leaped up, and threw his arms
around his fathers neck, and screamed with
ecstacy. 'Oh, father I can see! can
seev His sight had instantly returned,
and since then he has retained it in full
vigor, except that under excitement there
is some times transient dimness of vision.
The case is one of remarkable character.

The MARYLAND INSTITUTE ExnBITIoN-The thir-
teenth annual exhibition of American manufactures
and mechanic arts, under the direction and SUPER
lntendence Of the Maryland Institute for the Pro-
motion OF the Mechanic Arts, will be opened at
the spacious Hall of the Institute on Tuesday eve
ming, the 9th of October, and continue to the 9th
of November. We learn from the managers that
the coming exhibition promises to surpass all pre-
viously held in its general display, and in the nov
city and attractions of the mechanical haudicraft,
and in the specimens of the fine arts that will be
exposed for examination. The American Insti-
tute in New York, and the Franklin of
Philadelphia, will not have exhibitions this
year, may reasonably expect large
representation of the mechanical interest from
each of those cities. This is what our manufactar-
and mechanics should desire, for Baltimore me-
chanism will compare favorably with that of any
of her rivals. Freights on machinery by steam
boat, from New York, BOstonpUr Philadelphia,
will be free settled by the Institute, and if the
owner is not present, by forwarding the bills of
lading to the Chairman of the Committee the
goods will receive his personal attention in fitting
up and arranging the same for exhibition From
its former success, the facilities and conveniences
offered together with the central position of Balti-
more between North and South, this exhibition is
believed to offer greater inducements to manufac-
turers, mechanics, artists, inventors and others,
than any similar in this country.
We see, by circular issued by the Institute,
that the sessions of the Male School of Design in
stead of being comprised within the evenings of the
winter months only, will hereafter be open through
out the year, the sessions Of the school occupying
several hours of each day. But this will not in
terfere with the old arrangement of the evening
schools, the same being conducted as heretofore.
Prof. d. A. Woodward has been selected as prin-
cpal OF the schools, and will hereafter devote him
self wholly to their management. No changes will
take place in the female schools.
