PROSPECTUS.

"ONWARD" along the track of civiliza-
tion-on towards goodness and glory-a fin
ger.post pointing to all that is worthy of at
tainment-a guide to conduct the Youth Of
America along the path leading to the highest
and noblest manhood: such is the design of
Mayne Reid's Magazine.
And it is meant for the Youth of America
they who in few short years will hold as in
the hollow of their hand the destinies not only
Of America but of mankind.
Supreme satisfaction to be even the hum
blest guide in such glorious march and
while acting as such, "ONWARD" will en-
deavor to prove not only a sure guide, but
cheerful companion; one who, while dealing
largely with the realities of life, will not for
get that life has also its romance-essential to
its healthy existence as the food that is eaten,
or the air that is breathed.
The literature OF this magazine is intended
to be of the highest character known to tho
pages of periodical: since the experience of
its Conductor tells him it is necessary to ,crite
d0wn to the Youth of America It will be il,
Illustrated, and to this end the best artists have
been engaged.
Its first number appeared in January and
the opening chapters of story
of South American life. entitled the LOST
SISTER; a Tale Of the Pampas: as also the
commencement Of the YELLOW CHIEF;a
Tale of the Prairies.

To OWNERS OF Cows.-If you desire
to get large yield of rich milk, give
your COW, three times a day, water
slightly warm, slightly salted, in which
bran has been stirred, at the rate of
from one quart to two gallons of
water.-You will find, if you have not
found, by this daily practice, that your
COW will gain twenty five per cent i'm
mediately under the effect of it, and she
will become so attached to the diet as to
refuse to drink clear water unless very
thirsty, but this mess she will drink
almost every time, and ask for more
The amount of this drink is all ordinary
palltul each time, morning, noon and
night. Your animal will then do her
best in milking. -Four hundred pounds
of butter are often obtained from good
stock, and instances are mentioned where
the yield was even at higher figure.

Steam Type Composing Ma
eEtance

During the past few weeks machine
driven by steam, has Jeen at work il
Manchester setting type automatically
1t has been visited by many printers
and machinists, who pronounce it a
decided success. The inventor. Mr.
Mackie, native of Manchester, and who
has already made several machines tor
distributing and setting typc-machines
Of singular ingenuity-claims for the
one to which We refer as follows:-
All brain work, except "justifcation,' p
may be done anywhere, and by persons
who never need see type. Narrow
paper is perforated bya tiny machine
with fourteen keys only for one hundred
kinds of letters, and twenty keys for two
hundred. This perforating can be done
at the rate OF Times column OF minion
per hour. The actual composing of the
type is done by a horizontal wheel
machine, having on its rim asmany kinds
of type as required, which are placed one
on the top of another in endless lines, at
the rate of two hundred minute,
The composer is driven by steam, by
foot or hand, and when the endless per-
forated paper is attached to it, works
automatically. The justification will be
done by sticksful. The paper used for
the pcrforatins may be old copies of the
Times; new paper cost Id. per colmn.
Errors are reduced to minimum. The
composing machine makes none, and the
perforating one only when the operator
is careless. Duplicates may be perfora-
ted at one time, and lent, sold, or used
on two or more machines, and for differ
ent sizes oftype. The same pertorations
distribute the type automatically.
The perforated paper may be used years
after for future and corrected editions
Stereotyping is therefore not needed
One edition may be set in nonpariel
and another in plea from the same per-
foration. Small type is set with the
same rapidity as large. An author may
do his own pertorations, and thus save
the chief cost OF his work. Intelligent
women may perforate at home for offices
any distance away. Authors may send
slips instead of " early sheets"
abroad, and by putting on a number
Of composing machines a foreign pub.
Usher might have an ordinary volume
out in day or two. The reserve force
which these mahines will give is worthy
If attention. Six perforators and three
composers will set Times page in an
lour. An Office having six of such
machines in stock-and they take up
title room-could run up two pages of
ate matter in an hour.-EnglisA Paper.

GONE BEFORE.

There's beautiful face in the silent air,
Which follows me ever and near,
With smiling eyes and amber hair,
With voiceless lips, yet with beath of prayer
That feel but can not hear.
The dimple hand and ringlet Of gold,
Lie low in a marble sleep;
I stretch my arms for the clasp of old,
But the empty air is strangely cold,
And my vigil alone keep.
There's sinless brow with radiant crown
And cross laid down in the dust;
There smile where never shade comes now
And tears no more from those dear eyes flow
So sweet in their innocent trust.
All, well and summer is coming again,
Singing her same old song@
But. Oh! it sounds like a song of pain,
As it floats in the sunshine and the rain.
Der hearts of the worlds great throng.
There's beautiful region above tlR skies,
And long to reach its shore.
For now shall find my treasure there,
The laughing eyes and the amber hair
Of the loved one gone before.

THE GOVERNORS PARTy.-Last Sat-
urday party of twenty Oh thirty repen-
tant and unrepentapi rebels, and original
union mel, accompanied Governor War
moth up the Teche and to the Salt Mines
of Avery's Island, where Judge Avery
gave them Il splendid dinner and hos.
pitable reception. They had a jolly
time of il, and were delighted with the
Teche country, the Island, the people,
etc. Gentlemen always give St. Mary
a good name.
We notice that the Crescent report of
the excursion party, remarks that the
Governor, in passing our castle, stated
that we were from Maine, and that we
said that he, Gov. Walmoth ought to
be hung. That thirty-one years ago We
resided in Maine, and were born there,
we do not deny. But whatever we
might have thought, we. do not remember
that we ever stated in the Banner that
Warmoth ought to be hung. On the
contrary, at the time that we exposed the
sins of Warmoth and his party the most
gla''ing, we openly opposed violence and
and bloodshed, hanging and Lynch law.
We never said Or did anything in regard
to Warmoth and his party that We now
think was either untrue OF unjust.
A jolly gentleman from Chicago, one
Of the excursion party, proposed to run
the boat ashore above Franklin, and take
Warmoth to the woods and initiate him
into the mysterious order Of ku-kluxes;
but the Governor declined the honor,
doubtless on account of his being at the
head Of an other secret military organi-
zation in this State, the Loyal Leagues
or the G. A. RS.
Upon the whole, the party that accom-
panied Warmoth, returned to New Or
leans highly pleased, and all of them,
including the Governor, will be prepared

Cotton WI cture i'm the South

| We copy the following from the
washington Chronicle because of the
importance of the subject discussed,
and commend it to the attention of South
ern capitalists;
We earnestly desire to impress upon
our people the vital Importance Of ex.
tending cotton manufacture in the South
The great advantages Of an ample and
sure supply of the raw material right at
the factory door, of unsurpassed water
power in the localities most favorable to
the enterprise, and of an abundance OF
the kind Of labor needed for it, actually
beginning for employment, must COM
mend themselves forcibly and convin-
cingly to the minds of our moneyed men
of the North. Millions of capital are
lying idle to-day in our Northern cities
for want Of sufficient inducements, or are
seeking safe and profitable employment,
knowing not where to find it. Let these
millions be applied to the extension of
railroads and cotton fabrication in the
Southern States, and an impetus will be
impaired to the producing capacities
and general commercial operations of
that section that will unfoilingly mark
the dawn of new and brilliant era there.
Let sectional prejudicps and animosities
be buried let the past be the past, for
ever to be forgotten, if possible; and let
Northern capital, skill, and enterprise
take Southern production by the hand
for united exertion in behalf OF the res
toration of war-devasted region, and
through that for the advancement of the
national prosperity; for just in the ratio
of Southern recovery and newborn devel-
opment will be the increase of general
prosperity throughout the length and
breadth of Republic. The prosperity OF
the South means the prosperity Of the
North also, and whatever we may con-
tribute toward bringing about that happy
result for the former will return to us
four-fold in divers ways.
We will not open discussion here as
to the kind of goods which it would be
most ,judicious for the South to manu-
facture. Let the work once be started
fairly and permanently, and that point
could be soon settled. 1t left alone it
would settle itself, and that. perhaps,
would be the best course to pursue with
reference to it; for there are commercial
laws involved which can not be stayed
or turned in their operation, and which
in working themselves out would clearly
and infallibly indicate the policy prom
ising the best results.
1t has been stated by good authority
that the South ought to send yarns to
India markets direct, and we are told
that this will probably be done as soon
as the Pacific loads are opened and the
requisite facilities furnished. Another
good authority discourages the attempt |
70 make the finer class of fabrics, because |
when the raw material is plentiful and |
silk scarce manufacture should be con-
fined to those fabrics which demand but
little skill and a great deal Of raw
material.
The success Of the South in enlarging
ler cotton resources lies very largely in
her own hands. She must exert herself
