TIMELY HINTS TO ALL


HOW many have lost father, mother, bro
- thcr, sister, or an innocent little prattlng
child, and have not even a shadow of rcscmb-
lance to look upon. After the separation some
little toy or Il tri1ng article is often kept for
years, and cherished as a token of rememberance
How much more esteemed and valuable would
he one of HoRNING's Perfect Photographs, of the
loved and lost. There is scarcely any one who
does not take pleasure in gazing on the features
of a friend, and when that friend has been re-
moved by death, we often hear the exclamation
with an expression Of regret; o what you'd
not give for such picture of my friend.
Readers perhaps you cannot do better thing
now your mind is upon the subject, then take an
hour or two and visit Horning's Gallery, then
yon may, at some future PERIOD have reason to
feel grateful for these gentle hints from
JOHN NJ. HORNING,
Middletown, Del.
Ihe best memento that you can supply,
Or leave valued friend when you die,
Is the life-speaking picture taken in health
Far better than all of earths fading wealth.

d. f. BURTON.
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN. Jan. 29th 1852
''The simplicity and accuracy of its mechanism
prevent its dropping stitches, to which many 9TH
er machines are liable and which has hitherto
brought the "chan sttch' into disrepute. One
cannot but admire the beauty and accuracy of its
movements and the entire absence of all noise,
even when running ut the rate of 1000 stitches
and upward per minute. This alone must prove
great recommendation 10 it. Another merit is
the good workmanship. 'ihc parts are made in
terchangcahlc, that in the event of accident to
the machine, any part can be replaced, at n tri-
fling cost. 1t is, indeed, II mechanical wonder
ii household necessity ~

For tho American.
A Pies for the Popular Vote System.


Mr.. EDIroa,-The question, Who shall
be the Representative Of the 4th Distric,
In the coming campaign is getting to be
quite interesting, apd indeed II is Of grave
importance. If there ever was time
when We should have strong and true men
in Congress, it Is now. But the question
with many Of US seems not to DO, where
shall we Gnd q man capable Of filing the
important station Of Representative? Quite
number Of men Of fne talent aud In.
tegrity are named. They can't oil go,
Some one must DO selected. But how
shall we select one out OF so many? Every
one Of them have their friends. aud that
question We must decide. How, then, n al
we do Il?
Different practices prevail 10 almost all
parts Of the District. Some Counties vote
by Conventions; others take the Popular
Vote Of the people, which zoe think much
the best way. BY that system OF voting,
every man can cast his vote for his choice.
But we have heard that some say, We are
no, willing to risk tho popular vote uys
TEN. Now wa feel very reluctant about
supporting any man for Congress that Is
afraid to risk the people first. They think,
we suppose, that II they should got the
nomination, that Of Two evils we will
choose the least-yote for man we don I
like, rather give vote TO the other side.
Tia, Is very good logic; but We are sorry
10 know that there arc many who will not
listen TO that kind OF argument.
We have been In, and heard from sew
eral parte Of tho District; talked with sew.
eral different persons, aud they all say the
Popular Vote systom will prove tho best
aud most satisfactory. We have no fears
Of the want OF harmony, if IL should be
adopted lit l. not, | must confess |
have great fears that thore will not 10 the
harmony that there would DO were IL 9th.
orwi-e.
We should learn wisdom from our oppo.
uents. Why do they harmonixe so we'll
on any tioket2 Is Il not because Of the
popular manner they have Of seleclng
thom? MIR. Ciaypool referred 20 this in hi.
address to our Convention some tho
since, when he spoke OF the strength OF
the organization Of the Democratic party.
We have some knowledge OF all the
gentlemen named In connection with the
position of Representative, aud can give
our hearty support 10 any Quo OF thom
But should any OF them DO opposed 10
leaving the matter to the people, | shall
be opposed TO trusting such M one M my
Representative. ID. w. j.
