HINTs FOR HUSBANDS. Il. In walk
ing with your wife, etiquette demands
that you should give her the wall: but
safety requires that you should keep be-
tween her and the windows, when you
come into regions Astounding with bon
net shops.
2 When you have been kept late at
your place of business, or have been vis-
iting a sick friend who entreated you to
sit up with him near until midnight,
'tgo home, as sometimes happens,
with an Adelphi play-bill sticking out
of your pocket; and be very careful that,
just after talking Of the lot of business
you have gone through or the forlorn
state Of your invalid acquaintance, you

Keep It Before The People.


We copy with pleasure the following
from the Southern Recorder
Let it be remembered by farmers, that
if they wish speedy termination ofthe
war, and speedy establishment of their
independence, they must raise very large
grain crops.
Let it be remembered that a smaller
piece of land well ploughed and well man
urod, will produce more than larger
piece carelossly prepared.
Let it be remember tlat there are
sharpors all over the land, specializing in
provisions, and that the ravages of these
army worms are more terrible than the
"grand armies of Lincoln.
Let it be remembered, that if we are
subiugatcd, it will be by Spectators in
our midst, and not by Lincoln.
Let it be remembered that our far.
mers can do more to conquer this, than
ali our soldiers in the field.
Let it be remembered that the way to
conquer speculating miscreants is for the
farmers to raise large provision crops OF
all kinds.
Let it be remembered that the worst
misfortune that befall any people is a
dcarth ofproyision.
Let it be remembered that any people
who have enough to eat and wear, are
obliged to be prosperous and cannot be
conquered.
Let it be remembered that if you wish
to grow rich you must fill your ccrr
cribs and granarios now and be prepared
to raise large crops of cotton when the
blockade is raised.
Let 1t be remembered that it is'your
duty to raise provision for yourselves,
and surplus for tue soldiers who are
fighting your battles fer you.
Let it be remembered that if you do
not raise large provision crops you are
helping Lincoln and the spectators to
fasten the yoke Of bondage upon your
wives and children,
Let it be remembered that you owe it
as a solemn duty to God and your coun-
try-to your wives and Jour children
to religion and liberty to raise very large
crops of provisions.
Let it be remembered by every news
paper editor who has so often put in bis
paper political Let it be remembered"
without benedtting bis subscribers, that
he owes it to the people to give this ar
ticle at least one insertion.

dinary how many of our most important
discoveries owe their existence to chance.
Every body knows the anecdoto about
Sir Isaac Newton and the apple, DR..
Jenner and the milk maid, John Bun,
yan and Perkins, &C., &c. But every
body does not know the aDecdQto of Sir
Peter Ppltop, who found the bottom of
a coal pit by chance. | proceed there
fore to relate it. Sir Peter had been
quarreling with one Of his workmen
the day previous to the catastropheI
am nov narrating, relating 10 wages:
There are two ways of deconding into
coal pits, The usual way is to be wound
down in a machino, hut they to whom
the exit aud entrance are matters Of Gus,
tom, content themselves in descending
by grasping a rope, which communicates
to a counteractiug pully. The weight
Of the individual thus carries homewards
without dislocations. Sir Peter, on the
day in question, adopted the latter ex-
pedient, as usual in utter darkness
Judge Of his horror when reaching the
extremity of his journey, he found that
bis feet failed to touch the ground
lie instantly thought that the workman
with whom he had quarrelled had in re-
vengo cut short the rope.-He scream
ed and balled till be was hoarse, but ali
the operatives had sojourned to their
dinner. AT length his strength failed
him; he let 60 his hold, expecting to be
dashed to atoms in the unfathomable
abyss, and found that he had been for q
full hour screaming, about three inches
from the ground. Here was chance
discovery which ncttled Sir Peter sore
II i; insomuch that he felt half angry
with himself for not having been precipi-
mted some hundred feet, according to
his reasonable expectations.

Hoa0 TO Make Lard. Candles. To
every s lbs of lard add ounce of nitric
acid; and the way of making is as follows
Having carefully weighed your lard,
place it over slow fire or at least mere
ly melt it; then add the acid, and mould
the same as tallow, and you have a clear
beautiful candle. Iu order to make
them resemble sperm candles, you have
only to add small portion Of white
beeswax: They are manufacturing large
quantities in Winconsin.

RUNNING STITCH 3.,.

The embodiment of practical utility, and mar
vel of simplicity makes the running stitch very
rapidly and perfect, uses common needle, and
will last lifetime. At the New York State
Fair, its simplicity, efficiency, and great practi-
cal utility, was continued by the award OF the
First Premium.
It will gather, rufie, shir, tuck, run up
breadths, &c, with single or double thread on
auy material adapted to the running stitch. The
thinest, usually the most difficult to stitch by
other sewing machines being sewed the easiest.
For ladies' children's apparel, and other articles
made of light fabrics, 1T will therefore be found
almost invaluable.
1t is attached to the table like a sewing bird,
and having ho tension, and requiring no lubrica-
tion or change of stitch, is always ready for oper
alton, and such marvel of simplicity that child
of six or eight years can understand 1T, and use
successfully.
1t is not at all liable to get out of order.
Each machine is put in a neat box, accompa-
MED with full and explicit directions and TWEEN
ty-fve needles
Sent to any address in the United States on re-
ceipt of an order, inclosing the amount, or may
be collected by express on delivery OF the ma

When money is sent with the order and regis
