 The Manufacturing Machine is, without doubt, the best for all kinds of heavy army clothing. tailoring, &c., and yet the same Ma chine will stitch perfectly the finest shirt bos- om. In proof of their superiority over other machines, we can refer to many of the leading clothing houses in the Eastern States now us- Ing them, who have tried and laid aside the other standard Machines.

CANDY AS DEsERT.-Pure candies and sue- ars do not injure the teeth, except indirectly, by their injudicious use, in exciting acidity of stomach or dyspepsia. as will any other kind of food, or drink, or beverage, if extravagantly used. At seasons of the year when fruit and berries may not be ripe, fresh and perfect as a desert, pure sugars and candies may be used as such in their stead to great advantage, because they are healthful, being warming, nutritious and agreeable; hence, as table article, they are very valuable, while the almost uni versal love of them shows that they were in tended to be eaten. If child is not allowed to eat anything containing sugar, it will sicken and die in a very short time. Children need the carbon, the fuel contained in sugar, to keep them warm withoutit, they would perish from coldl; hence the love of sweet things is an in- st inct. implicated by the wise Maker of us all for the child s preservation. There are par eel of stupid creatures in the world whose sole stock in trade of brains and logic amounts to this, that whatsoever is good is unhealthy.'- It is not advised that children should be allow ed to eat sugar and candy whenever they want it but that as desert, after each regular meal, the use of pure sugars and candies would bene- fit, and not injure.-Hans Journal ef Health.

FIYH VoLuHrs or RoMAncE CONDENSED n { FIVE asT1oKs" OF PRIsr.-The denousmen
 of a singular little drama of real life has iua 7 reached us from Berlin. It seems that si, years ago notary named Carl s. suddenl, disappeared. For two months the police wer, engaged in searching for his supposed assas- sin, but in vain; and the investigations were about to cease when the judge of the dirtrici received one evening letter to the follovinp effect
 Herr Judge-I have been assassinated by my debtor, Jean R., who, after robbing me of the proofs of the debt, buried me at the foot of the north wall of the Park of Count Won M.. ats (Signed,) KARL s.,
 4-rs, -a~ esa Notary a,
 The Judges on receipt of this strange letter caused search to be made on the spot indica- cated; the corpse was found, the assassin seized, tried and executed, after making full confession of his crime. For six years all en- deavors to explain the mystery of the letter have remained without result.
 A week ago M. de B. was married at Berlin to rich and beautiful young widow, the Mar ? quise de L. On the day following the we'd ding, the bridegroom presented himself at the police office and made declaration to the fol- lowing effect:
 Six years ago was deeply in love with the daughter of the Count M, who returned my passion. was poor : and her father, not withstanding our mutual attachment, refused his consent to our marriage, and gave his daughters hand to the Marquis de L. The evening before the celebration of this marriage Iobtained from Mademoiselle de M. the prom ise to meet me, near the park wall, for the last adieu. little before midnight scaled the walls, and found the young lady waiting for me, accompanied by trusty attendant. Our tears and protestations were suddenly inter rupted by piercing cry The young lady fled with the servant to the house. climbed up to the top of the wall, and was just going to drop myself down on the other side, when, by the light of the moon, I saw man kneeling on corpse, and rifing the pockets of his vic- tim. My first impulse was to spring on the as sassin but reflected that if succeeded in securing him, must explain my own presence in the park at that hour, and in doing 30, must compromise the young lady. I therefore re mained motionless, ,and saw the assassin, whom recognized perfectly, bury the body of his victim at the foot of the wall on which was crouching. The next day, Mile de M, became the Marquise de L. Married to violent and jealous man, her position made it yet more in cumbent on me to remain silent but in order that the murder might not past unavenged, bethought me of writing the lett CT which led to the arrest and confession of the murderer. For six years kept silent on the subject Of what had seen. The death of 'the Marquis de L. having left Msdemoiselle a widow. I married her yesterday, And she is now my wife, and have, therefore, the right to defend her against all suspicion, have presented myself in order to explain the agency by which the letter was sent to the Judge in the name of the murdered man

FIRE PRooF SHMaLEs.-A writer in the Bos- ton Cultivator says he has always noticed that the slaves of old soap-barrels or pork tubs made very poor kindling wood, and so he ar- gued that potash and salt would tend to keep his roof from kindling. Being blacksmith, this was g matter of some importance. Sc. in preparing his shingles. he took half a bushel oflime, half bnshel of refuse salt, and five pounds of potash, and water enough to slack the lime can and dissolve the alkali and salt. He mixed these up in an old trough or box. Then he seta bundle of shingles into the mirtnrs
 nearly up to the bands. leaving them soaking for full two hours. Then he turned overs,h. ! bunch and put in the other side for the same length of time. As exposure to rain and sun will in time take out the strength of this mix lure, it should be applied, fresh, once in three ,oor four years. ae
