THE SONG OF THE SKIRT.
BY WOMAN HOOD.
“ And (Ae trail o] the woman it over it all."
With fingers scalded and worn,
With washboard placed aslope,
A woman etaod by the steaming tub,
Plying her cake ot. soap—
Wash ! wash wash
While the soap suds spatter and spirt,
And still, with a voice us frenzied pitch,
She sang the "Song of the Skirt."
“ Wash ! wash ! wash !
While I sweat from every pore !
And wash—wash—wash —
Till I fairly flood tho floor!
It’s oh ! to boa slave
Along with the barbarous Turk,
Whore woman has never a skirt to wash,
If this is decent work.
Oh, Men with Sweethearts dear ?
"Oh, Men with Women of kin !
It isn’t the linen they’re wearing out,
But tho linen they’re bringing in !
Wash— wash —wash—
While the soap suds spatter end spirt,
Cleaning at once with a single wash,
A Crossing as well as a Skirt.
“ Oh 1 but to smell ths breath
Os tho perfume bottle so sweet —
With the chandelier over my head,
And tho Brussels beneath my feet.
For only one short hour
To feel as my lady fools,
Gayly tripping along Broadway
With a yard or mure at her heels 1”
With fingers scalded and worn,
, With wash board placed aslope,
A woman stood at the steaming tub,
Plying her cake o/soap—
Wash—wash—wash —
While tho soafosnd. spatter and spill,
Aud still, with a voice that you wouldn't applaud
’ (Oh, that its tones could roach Mias Maud) —
She sang this "Song of tho Skirt.”
CHARLEY'S BET.
"He shall never have a penny,” stunned
Uncle Bunce"l will cut him oil'with a
shilling."
“My dear Bunce,” said I, “you have
already contradicted yourself, in first deny
ing him a penny, and then promising him
twelve. 1 never hoard you contradict
yourself (although often other people) ex
cept when in a passion, and that is not tho
frame of mind in which to sit down to alter
your will.”
"Mind your own business, sir, and leave
uie to manage mine,” was the prompt and
severe rejoinder.
"Your business w mine, Nicholas,” con
tinued 1 quietly, “since we are partners.
Wo have been friends, boy and man, for
’ 1 these forty years, and 1 am not going to
permit you to quarrel with me."
“Who wants to quarrel?” said Uncle
Bunce peevishly. »
“Well, I don’tbut I would yather even
that Iftioutd happen, than that my old friend
should do himself such an. injustice as to
condemn a young fellow, who has no other
relation in the world, unheard: your own
sister’s son, George! 1 am ashamed of
you!"
"Unheard ? Pack of nonsense,” sputtered
the old fellow. “The thing’s as plain as
the nose on your face.'
“Thank you,” said I. “However, you
may say as offensive and smacked my lips
like one who, having relieved his mind,
may now afford to enjoy himself.
Uncle Bunce seemed to gasp for air.
“What the deuce—why, you’re making a
fool of me.”'eichiimed he savagely. "Do
you mean to tell ipc he did not go ddwu to
the Derby ?” “Os course he did. The
government soul him.”
“The government — sent him ?” re
peated my respected partner like one in a
dream.
“Just so,” said I. “But don’t let mo
trouble you with the particulars of a subject
which I see is-distatoful to you, and about
which you have quite made up your mind.
I have now performed my duty in the
matter, and there’s an end of it. This is
good wiue. If it’s no secret, may I ask
what did you give for it, a dozen ?”
“Fifty pounds to ton against Palmyra,”
muttered tlie old man. Then : “It’s all a
lie, Coe,” cried bo suddenly. “How dare
you talk to me about the government
sending”-
“Mr. Bunce,” interrupted I firmly, “I
will not endure such language. You may
be as brutal and unjust as you please to
your own flesh and blood, but you shall not
bully me. lam not in the habit of telling
lies. The fact is this (if you really wish
to hear the fact, arid not merely to flatter
your own preconceived opinions)", Charley
Thornton could not hare avoided But
stop ; first answer me one thing. If Messrs.
Bar and Bullion had offered you a fioliday
ou the Derby-day, when you were a clerk
in their office, upon the condition that you
would go and see the Race, would you have
accepted it, os.would you not?”
■ “Well, 1 suppose 1 should,” said Uncle
Bunce reluctantly.
* No, you don’t; you are sa/.eySu would ;
W, you'd have gone tike a shdt. Well, that
being granted, you and your nephew are
iq the same boat. The governmenVgavo a
holiday on the Derby-day to the clerks in
the Sword and Gun Office, upon the con
dition I have mqntiotreu, aud all those who
availed themselves of the offer pledged their
Words to use the opportunity as it was
intended to be used. If Charley, having
obtained his day’s leave, had gone to Epsom
Downs, he would have behaved unlike a
gentleman. Thai's clear, I hope.”
“The Goverfiment ought to be ashamed
of themselves!” observed Uncle Bunce.
“Very likely: but your nephew is not
the government, aud although 1 hear from
the chief of his department a most excel
lent account of the young fellow, it fa not
likely that he ever will be. Thus, you see,
to begin with, so far from shrinking his
duties to go to the Derby, Charley only
obeyed orders —and 1 have no doubt with
great cheerfulness. This is certainly ex
cellent wine,”
“Did the government make him bet fifty
pounds to ten pounds against Palmyra ?”
inquired the old gentleman grimly after a
long silence.
‘.‘Tim government didn’t, but the Office
did,” said I; “in this way. There was a
Derby sweep got up among the Sword and
Gun clerks, as is always the case at every
government office ; and Charley put in his
sovereign like the rest. Perhaps that was
wrong of him : but if yon never did worse,
friend Nicholas, when you were a young
man, all I can say is. you were too good to
live, and I shouldn’t fancy you were ever
likely to die of that complaint.” I roee,
arid going to the window that looked out
into the quiet street, threw it up, to let in
the summer air. “Come, come; yon’ll
forgive his putting into the sweep,” said I.
“I don’t ask Jrqtf to be generoaa, but to be
just.”
"I forgive him that, »f coarse, but for
the bet I will not forgive him. How is it
possible that the office could have had any
thing to do with his making a bet which,
if he bad lost, he could never pay ?’
“lie won it,” said I quietly ,• “and it
would have been a most unbusinesslike
transaction if he had not laid the money.
Yes, Mr. Bunce; you hare been wrong
throughout this matter hitherto, and you
arc wrong now. I say, that Charley would
have shown himself unworthy of being
your relative if he had not laid the odds
against Palmyra: and I’ll prove it. The
case was simply this: Charley drew
Palmyra in this sovereign sweep, so that, if
the mare had won, he would have received
(since almost alffthe clerks subscribed to it)
nt least one hundred pounds. His obvious
duty, then, as a man of business—aud not
a merely gambling speculator—was to
make some portion of the money safe. Ha
therefore betted fifty pounds to ten pounds
against mare ; if she had won, he
would MfiP cleared fifty pounds by the
transaction ; and as it was, although she
last, the astute young fellow managed to
secure ten pounds, minus the sovereign
originally invested.” « .
“Ah, that was it, was it ?” said Uncle
Bunce, looking, I must say, most uncom
monly foolish. “However, you must con
fess that appearances were very much
against the lad.”
“Not a bit,” said "I. “On the contrary,
they are very much in his favor. Come to
the window here, and judge for yourself;
there he is, at the corner yonder, waiting
forme to whislle for me. Docs he lock
like one of your cunning hang dog Turfites,
such as you have pictured him, or likely to
grow into such horrid shape ? Unless lie
happens to draw a favorite in a sweep a
second time—which is not very likely—l
will answer far him that he will never
make a bet in his life again. Come, sir,
you whistle for himand Uncle Bunce
did whistle, as cheerfully ns any black
bird and as the young fellow ran up, he
held hie hand out through the open window,
to let him know at once that all was ex
plained and forgiven. And then he came
indoors, and something which I had caused
to be privately kept hot for him down
stairs—for Uncjo Bunce’s cook loved the
lad—was brought up byway of dinner, and
Uncle Bunee and I, and Charley, had a
merry evening together after all.

The American Artisan
UNITED STATES AND FOREIGN
PATENT AGENCY.
Masers. BROWN, COOMBS de CO., Proprie
tors of the AMERICAN ARTISAN, offer then
beet services to inventors, as Solicitors of Amen
can anil Foreign Patents. Mr. Henry T. Brown,
of thia firm, has had more than twenty-two years
experience m that prefession, both in this country
and Europe; for fifteen years he was the piiiieipal
professional assistant of Messrs. Munn & Go.,
Patent Agents of this city ; and his long practice
has made him personally known to thousands of in
ventors and patentees. The applications for the
patents upon many of the greater and more im
portant inventions of the present century have been
prepared bv him, Messrs. Brown, Coombs & Go.,
are thoroughly familiar with all the rules and re
gulations instituted for the rapid tiansaetion of
business with the United States Patent Office, and
the geneial practice in the Patent Bureaus of vari
ous European countries; and this-knowledge ren
ders them confident that their post experience, with
their present uuequided facilities, enables them to
elaborately and yet speedily prepare all the docu
ments required by iaw in applications for patents,
and to promise their clients an absolute certainty
of success in theiijeffoite to obtainjLetters Patent for
inventions that aie really new and useful. Parti
cular care is given to the execution of the accurate
drawings which must always accompany every
application for a patent , and they employ none but
the most efficient draughtmnei,. The best evidence
of the manner in which Messrs. Browk, Coombs
& Co.’s business Is performed, is, that the “Amer
ican Artisan Patent Agency,” during the three
years of its existence, has been tke mosl successful
institution of the kind, ever established.
The principal offices of Messrs. Brown. Coombs
& Co. are situated at 18!) Broadway, opposite John
street, New York, in the most central part of the
city. This location is one of very easy access by
strangers inasmuch as it is within a stone's throw
from the City Hall. All inventors temporarily so
louruhig in the metropolis are invited to visit this
establishment. In|the majority of instance no model
or drawing of an invention will be necessary on
the first interview, as a mere oral description by
the visitor will ordinarily suffice to convey such
aknowledge of his invention as willeuable Messrs.
Bkown, Coombs & Co. to definitely determine
whethera machine or process isiiew or old—paten
table or not. The office hours will be from 9a. m.
to 51-. M.
Messrs. Brown, Coombs & Co. are prepared to
furnish to persons residing at a distance from New
York—so-e of charge— written opinions as to
wiietiier inventions contain any features of paten
table noveltv; to do this they simply require a
sketch or rough model of the machine or other in
vention that is supposed to be new, together with
a brief description of the same, and as soon as pos
sible thereafter a letter of the best advice is mail
ed tit the person desiring the information. These
opinions are formed from their own mature exper
ience; but if an iuventor desires to know, positively,
whether his incipient idea has ever been embodied
in a machine or pi-o?ess already patented, his wisest
course will be to ifttve a preliminary examination
made at the Uuited States Patent office by Messrs.
Brown, .Ciefoßßs & Co., who will make a special
search junong all the records of that institution, and
then promptly forward a full and carefully written
report as to the patentability of the invention un
der examination. For this labor the small fee of
|5 is payable in advance; %nd the lemittance
should be accompanied by a sketch of the invention
and a few lines of writing describing the same,
and distinctly stating those points of novelty which
the inventor desires to have protected by Letters-
Patent
Patents for new and useful inventions are now
granted for the term of SEVENTEEN YEARS. The
first instalment ofjtlre Government lee is sls, which
sum—together .with fifty cents revenue stamp-tax
on the powcr-of-altoi ney— is payable m advance,
ouapplying for the patent; aud S2O additional arc
due to the Government when the Letters-Patent are
allowed. The Agency fee is from $25 upward, ac
cording to tlie labor involved; but tn all cases our
charges will he as moderate as possible in tlie pre
paration of drawings and all necessary documents.
Tlhs feels not pavable until after tlie application
has been prepared and the case is ready to be sent
to Wiielinigtoii. Messrs. Bbown, Coombs & Co.
have a branch in Wash ington so that all applica
tions made through them can have every necessary
attention in their passage Hi rough the Patent Ollice.
Inventors applying for patents must furnish
models of their machines, whenever possible, for
■ the inspection of tlie Examiners in the Patent
Ollice; but if lire invention is a chemical composi
tion, samples of all the ingredients will be neces
sary. Each of these should be marked with the in
ventor's name, then carefully boxed, and sent (by
express, prepaid.}, logetlier with the firstiustaluien
oftheGovernment fee,to Messrs Bbown, Coombs
&. Co. When tlie model is small and light, it can
be conveniently and cheaply sentby mail The
model must not exceed one foot in any of itsdimens
ions, unless it is of such a character that it is im
practicable.
Patents, except those for designs, are granted
on equal terms to citizens aud all foreigners, except
inhabitants of Canada and some others of the
British American Provinces.
Besides patents or new and useful inventions,
there ai-is also granted patents for designs.
Design-patents arc not now, us formerly, limited
strictly to ornamental configuration ; but under
Section 11 oi) the Act of March 2,1861, any new
•form of any article, or any impression or figure upon
the surface of any article or material, by whatever
means or process produceci, can be patented. Un
der this Act, patentees are entitled to the exten
sion of thgir respective patents for the term of seven
years from the day on which said parents shall ex
pire, upou the same terms and restrictions as are
now provided forthe extensions of Letters-Patent.
Among tlie numerous subjects for patents of this
class may he particularly mentioned—casting? of

New Albany, Ind., March 12,1807.
For forty years I have been afflicted with
costiveness, and for the last twenty was com
pelled daily to resort to Injections to secuiw
an evacuation. In December last I com
menced the use of Radway’s Pills. After
taking a few doses, my liver, stomach, and
bowels were restored to their natural strength
and duties. I have now a regular movement
once a day, and, although 80 years of age,
feel as hearty and strong as I did 40 years
ago.

HIGH ENDORSEMENT FROM THE
MEDICAL COLLEGE OF PRUSSIA.
DR. RADWAY
b in receipt of an Important official doca
ment, signed by the Professors of the
Medical College of Breelau, Prussia,
embodying the result of an
analysis of
RADWAY’S REGULATING PULS.
" The Faculty of the College state in their
report that after a otreftd 4tnd minute examina
tion, they have the honor to state that “the
pills are not only free every substance
injurious to health, but are composed wholly
of substances and elements • promotive of
digestion, and certain at the same time to
act favorably upon the nervous system, &c.,
&c. They state, further, that the injurious
rumors set afloat by the Prussian apothe
caries originated “in a mean spirit of trade
jealousy, excited by the great celebrity at
tained by the Pills within • very brief
period.”
Signed on behalf of the College,
DR. PHIL. THEOBALD WERNER,
Direeitr of the Polytechnic Putease.
DR. WSE, Firet Aeeietant.
In cases where natural evacuations are
difficult to secure, and a quick discharge is
essentia), take six of Radway's Pills and pul
verize them, —take the pill powder in water
or preserves,—in half an hour they will ope
rate. We have known the most distressing
pains of Gastritis, Bilious Cholic, Inflamma
tion, Congestion, &c., stopped, and the re
tained irritating humors expelled from the ,
bowels in thirty minutes by this treatment
It is however, better in chronic cases to take
the pills as they are, and let thorn gradually
dissolve in tho stomach. These Pills possess
in thv ’lighest degree cathartic, aperient,
tonic, and diapharetic properties. They do
do not weaken or debilitate the system or
any of its organs, and will leave the bowels
regular aud healthy. They purify and equal
ize the circulation of the blood. No conges
tion or inflammation will occur while ths
system is under their influence. Price 26
cents per box, or 5 boxes for one dollar.
