Traffic with Slaves.
Wc publish the coujmunication of “A
Sufferer," as our columns are open to
all matters of general interest. Wc,
however, dissent entirely from his views
iu reference to the penalty to be inflic
ted for the offence of which he com
plains. It would only result in making
the law a dead letter, and induce a state
of things worse than the present. While
the penalty should doubtlessly increas
ed, the most effectual remedy for tin
evil complained of, after all, is to break
up the unlawful assemblage of negroes,
and prevent them from hiring their
time ; for owners and overseers to control
their servants, and guard their habits
and their morals. We are all getting
too indulgent, rud Saiubo is forgetting
that he is a hewer of wood and a drawer
of water.

i The City Court and the Liquor
Dealer*.
The result of the trials this week, dis
closes the astounding fact, that, for the
trifling sum imposed on the liquor deal
ers, as fines, varying from $lO to sf>o,
(scarcely in any case equal to the profits
of one week of their iniquitous traffic,)
they are at liberty to ruin our negroes
iu health, by selling them drugged li
quors, to incite them to rob their own
ers, to lead them into quarrels, mur
ders, insurrections, and everything that
isahominable under the sun. The fault
is not iu the Court, but in the law !
The people should call upon their Rep
resentatives to enact laws, making it a
Penitentiary offense to sell liquor to, or
trade with negroes, and on the second
offense, let it he death by the hangman.
If such laws were enacted, it would put
an end to all this trouble, and wc would
have a sober, well-disposed set of ser
vants.
Let the severity of the penalty be
known and none of these dealers would
run the risk of the sale, but now they
know that conviction imposes a tine
which they can easily pay out of their
first barrel. These are the views of a
Suffer kk.
N*w Orleans Factories.
The New Orleans Picayune, in describ
ing the flourishing condition and pro
gress of the Rope and Cordage Factory,
established many years ago in that, city,
remarks:
The machinery for the manufacture
of hemp is of the latest pattern, and
produce* a rope that, in this market,
brings from 1-4 to 1-2 cent a pound
more than any of the more Northern
manufacture. The factory produces
sixteen thousand five hundred pounds of
rope, orabout one hundred coils per day.
The same machinery which twists the
rope also winds it into coils. So simple
is the duty of superintending the work
that boys of ten to fifteen are the prin
cipal laborers in tjiis department of the
establishment. Every operation con
nected with the rope manufacture, the
elevation of the bales of the raw ma
terial, the packing, the reduction of the
* shapeless mass to the silver, and the!
production of the rope itself, is per
formed by the aid of machinery.
Attached i«> this establishment, and
forming a part of its operations, is a
considerable amount of cotton ma
chinery. The company, at present,
confine their operations to the manu
faeture of cotton yarns, of which they
produce six hundred pounds per day.
The demand is much greater, at home,
than they are able to supply, and the
prices obtained are very remunerative.
A hundred operatives are employed
in this factory, and more than two hun
dred souls depend upon it for their sub
sistence. It adds more than fifty fami
lies to our permanent population. The
appearance of the operatives indicates
content and health, most of them pre
senting a ruddy glow not common in
this climate, and all being neat and
tidy in their apparel.

Bi-cml Upon the Water*.
HV HELEN FOREST GRAVES. j
It was a gloomy room, in a crowded ;
tenement house, low, narrow, and un j
wholesome ; and a pale faced child was
its only inmate. She was a confirmed
invalid—you might trace that in her
hollow cheeks and the strange unnatu
ral lustre of her large blue eyes—the
ilame of its life was burning low on the
alter of her childish being ; yet here
she was alone. The old arm chair in
which she reclined, with one or two
pillows, and a rude pine box, was the
sole support of her tiny|blue veined feet,
lliere was no carpet on the mouldering
lloor. and in more than ono place door
md window had yielded to the remorse
less hand of decay, and presented a
most dilapidated aspect. Yet all the
-canty furniture was arranged as neatly
is possible, and there was even some
.aint attempts at taste, as, in a bit of
■Caily colored chintz spread over the
child 8 foot stool, and a solitary flower
•laced in the window seat, where the
nnbeams could touch its emerald
leaves.
i hat flower ; it had been poor Katy’s
companion long. Its royal beauty and
<iixuriance seemed strangely out of
place in the squalid, low-celled room;
vet it grew and flourished as if in the
velvet sod of Bendemeer’s stream. And
ittle Katy lav back in her aornforties*
hair, anil looked at the splendid rose
Giich quivered like a ruby drop among
the leaves, and watched the sunlight
writing its golden message on the criin "
*on folds of the blossom with a vague
feeling of wonder.
It wassostrange that the radiant sun.
whose glory lay on marble pillars and
-tateiy dwellings far away, should
come to peep into her lonely, lonely
room.
Is that you, Jamie said she soft
ly, as the dooi opened, and a boy of
twelve eanv in.
“ Yes. Do you feel any better, Katy?
Are you tired of being left alone ?”
And the boy looked tenderly into her
blue eyes anil parted tlie auburn haii
from her forehead, with a loving touch.
“ Not very, but there is such a weary
aching around my heart, and sometimes
it seems all on fire, llow cool your
hand feels. Jamie ?”
Never mind, Katy, I’ve been saw
ing wood, and earned a whole quarter
and am going to lav it out in apples
and oranges, to sell down town. I’ll
make a mint of money, and then won’t
we have a good supper when mother
comes home from work ? I should’nt
wonder if we had a bit of cake and a
hunch of grapes over and above the
medicine the dispensary doctor ordered
for you.”
Katy smiled and shook her head, as
if deprecating this, piece of extrava
gance.
“ <,fi . we will, Katy,” resumed her
brother ; “tain’t often we taste any
thing but dry bread and cheese, and I
haven’t forgotten that its your birthday
his -you’re ten years old to day. Be
sides you need something to put a shade
of color into these cheeks ; the doctor
said you must have something to tempt
your appetite.’’
lie bent down to kiss the marble fore
head as he spoke.
How lovely that rose is, to be sure !
It s almost as good as eomrauy to you
Katy, isn’t it ? Are you willing I should
leave you alone for a little while,
dear ?”
“ Y'cs, Jamie, I don’t mind it much,’’
she answered, with a deep, weary sigh,
“but be back as soon as possible please."
And her wistful, hollow eyes watched
him from the room with that earnest,
startling look that we only find be
neath the very shadow of death.
Down at the piers all was confu ion
and uproar—busy passengers hurrying
from newly arrived boats—turbid wa
ters dashing and rolling against mossy
posts—swaying crowds, and loud, disso
riant voices, created a sn.all bedlam
around the docks, and little Jamie wan
dered around with his board of fruit,
feeling very louely and bewildered Hi
bad piled up the golden oranges with
their sunniest side upward ; he had pol
ished the rod cheeked apples until the}
shone like mirrors, yet nobody stoppeu
to buy.
“ Carriage, sir ?” “ Take you to the
Astor House?” “Up Broadway in a
twinkling, ma’am!" “ ’ Ere’s youi
’Erald, Tribune, and Times. Latest
steamer from Europe ! Have a paper,
sir ?”
Poor Jamie! amid all this tumult,
what chance has he of being noticed ?
He had picked out the very same hunch
of grapes that he intended for Katy, in
Taylor’s window, as he came by—a
plump, apoplectic bunch dangling from
a crimson thread, where the sunshini
lay full on the purple bloom, and arue
tbystic shadows lurked among its full
ness of fruitage Just at present the
tempting morsel seemed very far off to
Jitmiu’s imagination.
Determined not to give way without
a vigorous effort, however, Jamie step
ped boldly forward to the first person
lie saw, and held up his wares with a
modest, “ Buy an orange, sir ?”
Now-, as ill fortune would have it,
this possible customer was a fat, ill
tempered pursy old man, whose color
had just been inflamed to fever heat bv
the inadvertent descent of a heavy
j nailed boot heel on his favorate corn.—
At all times he considered orange boys
a nuisance, but just now his slender
quota of patience was entirely exhaus
ted. He aimed a muttered oath and a
furious blow at the fair-haired boy. and
rushed past, to catch a retreating omni
bus.
Jamie sprang aside just in time to
escape the brutal blow, but it descended
full upon his stock in trade, scattering
apples and oranges far and wide! He
was standing close to the pier, and most
of the fruit flew into the water, where
it went bobl>iug up and down with the
tide, in a most tantalizing manner. A
few apples rolled under the teet of the
crowd, but it was impossible to secure
them again.
Jamie’s first sensation was that of in
dignant wrath : the blood rushed in
angry torrents to his cheek and brow,
and he shook his small first iuipotently
in the direction which the fat man had
taken. But in an instant, a feeling of
forlorn wretchedness came over him—
no tempting hit of cake—no purple
grapes for poor lvaty—perhaps not even
a supper, for he knew that his mother’s
, wages must go towards the rent of the
room. —They depended entirely upon
his own exertion for their evening
meal, and the sun was declining in the
west already.
The reflection was too much for his,
boyish heart, and he was sobbing vio- 1
lently, when a gentle band was laid on
his shoulders. He started up, and be-i
tore him stood a pleasant gentleman, j
wto watched the whole transaction.
“There, my boy,” he said, laying u *
silver dollar in the hoy’s hand palm,
“that will set you up again. No thanks; I
the money was intended for some piece
of extravagance, and I chose to use it
thus. But remember, this, my boy ;
when you are pushed down in tbe race,
don’t stop to rub your bruises, but pick
yourself up and start again !”
Jamie thought the smile with which
this was said the pleasantest and kind
est expression that ever brightened a
human face ; but ere ho could stammer
out his thanks, the gentleman was
gone.
The boy started for home with a light
and joyous heart, stopping to purchase
the cherished morsels of fruit and cake
on his way. The gentleman walked
leisurely up Broadway. Seeing in a
book store the tittle of a newly pub
lished work that he had much desired
to read, his footsteps involuntarily
turned in that direction, but in an in
stant he went on, buttoning up his
pockets, and murmuring to himself,
wilh a smile, “Can’t afford it: oue lux
ury in a day ought to be enough?”
Ihere was a vast difference between
man and child in their capacities for
enjoyment, but both were happy that
night.

course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastri

the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under Un
wholesome revolution created in the system, the
basis ..f activity, strength and health.
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
acute, physical agony or Neuralgia, Tic-doloreox
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter

tppeliser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
If loDg file and the vigor necessary to its en

preeiou worth
Its beneficial effects are not confined to either
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing

will prove a complete and unfailing safe gnard
against that terrible mdady. There are many
perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu

of medicine. Lot not even those despair. The
Elixir deals with disease ns it exists, without re

We need not speak to the public of its virtues.
Throughout every town, and almost every ham
let of tin* American States, its wonderful cures
of pulmonary complaints have made it already
known. Nay, few are the families in lyiy civil
ized country on this continent without some
personal experience of its effects ; and fewer yet
the communities any where which have not
among them some living trophy of its victory
over the .subtle and dangerous diseases of the
throat aud lungs. While it is the most power
ful antidote yet known to man for the 'orinida
ble and dangerous diseases of the pulmonary
organs, it is also the pleasantest and safest rem
edy that can be employed .or infants and young
persons. Parents should have it iu store against
the iusidious enemy that steals upon them un
prepared. We have abundant grounds io be
liwve the Cherry Pectoral saves more lives by
the consumptions it prevents than those it cures.
Keep it by y ou, and cure your colds whi e they

skill can master the inexorable canker that, fas
tenod ou the vitals, eats your life away. All
know the dreadful fatality of lung disorders,

dy. we need not do more thau to assure them it
is still made the best it can be. We spare no
cost, no care, no toil to produce it the most per

GROVER & BAKER’S
SEWING MACHINES.
K EASONS why the (irover & Baker
Machine is universally preferred for family
sewing :
1. It is more simple and easier kept in order
than any other Machine.
2d. It makes a seam which will not rip or
ravel, though every third stitch is cut.
3*l. It sew s from two urdiuary spools, and thus
alj trouble of winding thread is avoided, while
the same machine can be adapted at pleasure
by a mere change of spool , to all varieties of work!
4th. The same machine runs silk, linen thread
and common spool cotton w ith equal facility, ’
6th. The seam is as elastic ns the most clastic
fabric, so that it is free from all liability to break
iu washing, ironing, or otherwise.
6th. Tin* stitch made by this machine is more
beautiful than any other made, either by hand
or machine
