THIS machine is acknowledged, by all who have used it, to be superior to that of any other Sewing Machine ever invent ed for its simplicity, compactness, the beauty and strength of its stitch and its cheapness, it weighs about 25 lbs., and costs only from $25 to S3O. It will work, neatly with the smallest thread, the finest muslin, cambric or silk, as well as liuen, woolen and cotton goods, and all kinds of leather. It is so simple, that a child of 10 vears of age can understand and work it rapidly, with out any danger of its getting out of order, and can do the work of more than 20 se unstresses much belter in every respect than it can be done by hand. The stitches are independent of each other—so much so, that if every other stitch is cut, the seam still holds good and strong. It h unlike and much better than any other sewing machine ever invented. This machine is peculiar ly adapted to family and plantation use, as it does all kinds ot sewing, and when known will be generally introduced iulo fami lies and plantations. The Avery Bewing Machine Company have perfected the r ar rangements for manufacturing ou the largest scale, and will sup ! plv any number of machines at the shortest notice.

There’s a chastened spirit that folds its wings, Musing ’tween earth and holy things ; Still gliding on in its noiseless flight, Like the snow thro’ the clouds of a winter’s night. ‘Tis the spirit of age. There’s a passionless eye, that looks above, With a ray of faith, and a tear of love ; That regards the stare, as they nightly glow, As the home of some friend who was once below. ’Tis the eye of age. There’s a faded lip, that but faintly smiles, And with tales of bygone years beguiles The laughing child; and with holy kiss Mingles a prayer for its future bliss. ’Tis the lip of age. There’s a withered hand, that in youth was wed To its kindred hand—but that hand is dead ; And the withered hand, tho’ it gave and lend, Now wants the aid ofsome kindly friend. ’Tis the hand of age. But the chastened spirit, which folds its wings, Will take its flight anon where the seraph sings, And the passionless eye, with its tear of love, Will bohold all it lost in the realms above. Then farewell, age! [WRITTEN FOR THE TIMES k SENTINEL.] A Scrap from Aunt Patty’s Scrap Bag. TIIE RED VELVET BODDICE. By Caroline Lee llentz. “What is that, Aunt Patty ?” “A little scrap of red silk velvet, child. I can hardly tell you what tender feelings come over me as I look upon it. It brings up before me, a little fairy like looking figure, not much larger than you are now, only a speck or so taller.— How well 1 remember the time, when I first seen her, dressed out in this velvet boddice, with a white muslin skirt flouncing below it, so easy.” “Tell me all about it, Aunt Patty,” said Es telle, with her eager, earnest look of curiosity, which ever proved irresistible. “I never saw any one, that had such a store house of pleasant memories as you have. It seems to me, that you know the history of every body that you ever met with, the heart history, and that is so much better than the mere outside story, you know. What made every body’ tell you every thing that they thought and felt, Aunt Patty? Were they not afraid you might tell it again ? Oh! I know the reason. You are so good and unselfish, so different from other people, it is a comfort to talk to you, just as I do myself.— There are a thousand little things, that I don’t like to speak about, even to my own mother, thatl am not afraid to tell y T ou. You look as if it was a favor to yourself, to he allowed to lis ten to us.” “Arid so it is, darling. Just imagine, what I would he, if I interested myself only in my own concerns, a poor, ione, childless creature, like me. Now, by going out of myseli, as it were, and entering into other people’s hearts, 1 can appropriate to myself their beauty, and worth and property, and be as happy for the time, as they are themselves.” “Tell me how you do it, Aunt Patty.” “1 don’t do anything, child. I only feel; bless ed be God, for the gift of a feeling heart. A great mind is a glorious gift too. At least I think it must be, but if I can’t have but one, I would rather possess the first a great deal, for we don’t love people so much for their minds as their hearts. We admire them, to be sure, and look up, and wonder, but my poor neck can’t stretch its chords much by upward looking, and I suppose that is the reason 1 like the easiest feel ing best.” “But I would like to have both, Aunt Patty. I would like to have a great and noble mind, so great and noble that the whole world should hear of it and almost feel afraid of my name, it would be so very famous, and then, 1 would like to have so kind and tender a heart, that every body would love me too much to fear me, and forget I was great, because I was so good.” Estelle spoke with energy, and mind and heart seemed indeed struggling for mastery in her childish, but intelligent face. “And what else, my darling, would j’ou like? Would you stop short there ? Isn’t there some thing wanting to put a kind of crown on all this?” “Oh ! yes, Aunt Patty’. I would like to have a spirit pure and holy, filled to running over with the love of God, caring for nothing so much as to please Him and oblige Him. And then, you know, 1 could use my great mind to glorify Him, and my good heart to make my fel low creatures happy. There is no harm in such kind of ambition, is there, Aunt Patty ?” Aunt Patty’ laid her palsied hand in silence blessing on the head of her blooming favorites. She tried very hard to swallow down her feel ings, before she found voice to speak. “When you was a little thing, Estelle, I fear ed you wouldn’t live to grow up, because you were smarter than other children, and then I used to have strange dreams about you, that I thought were warnings. Now, I begin to think the Lord will spare you to be a burning and Ja shining light to other generations. But stop, little one. Don’t pull that scrap of velvet to pieces. There is'nt much of it any way, but il is big enough to remind me of the precious little soul, whose body was encased in the crimson boddice-” Estelle leaned on her right elbow, in her usual listening attitude, and her eyes said as plainly as tongue could speak it. “Well, lam ready to hear it.” “It isn’t much of a story, child. lam afraid you will not like what I have to say, half as well as the one about the purple satin or the pea green taffeta, but I love this little scrap the best of all, because 1 loved the wearer best. A’ou re member how your father went to tho south, the spring before he died, and how your sister Em ma went there for her health, for she was mighty poorly before she married Mr. Selwyn. Well, you know your Aunt Woodville married a rich southern gentleman, and lives on a great south ern plantation, and has ever so many negroes. — Y ou have heardEmmatalk aboutthem ahundred times. Before you was old enough to remem ber, Mrs. Woodville came on to the north, to see your mother, my niece Emma that was—and brought with her a young lady by the name of Nora Shirland. When we heard that she was coining, we felt a little uneasy, fearing she would not enjoy herself, as they have so many to wait on them at the south, and live so differently.— We thought our simple ways wouldn’t suit her and really wished your Aunt was coming by kerself. “I never shall forget the first lime I saw Nora. We were all watching for your Aunt, for she had written to us the day she expected to arrive, and we kept looking and looking till the sun was nearly down. At length a carriage stop ped at the door, and your Aunt Woodville, a fine, tall, handsome lady, got out first, and then came a little bit of a creature with a drab color ed travelling dress, fitting her as nice as wax, and a neat straw bonnet, trimmed with blue lus tring ribbon, and a sweet, pleasant, smiling countenance, that seemed to ask every body to love her, and promised to love every body in return. She didn’t look one bit proud or grand, and she hadn’t been in the house five minutes be fore we all felt as if we had known her all our lives. It was in the beginning of summer, and my niece Emma always did have the prettiest roses and pinks in her garden I ever did see any where, and Nora ran about among the flowers, with Edmund, who was a little hoy then, and Emma, who, though weak and sickly, was a pert and sprightly child. She took to Nora mightily, and used to string pinks and wind them round a sprig of camomile, and make nose gays for her every day. Nora always said they were beautiful, though I knew tho flowers she had at home were ten thousand times prettier than any of ours. She used to call me Aunt Patty, just as you do, and would spend hour af ter hour, iii looking over my scraps and making me tell her about this one and that one, making believe as if she never could get tired, but 1 knew all the time she did it more to please me than herself. At first the ladies were shy of calling to see her, thinking she might put on airs and think herself above them, but after a while, they couldn’t come often enough or the gentlemen either. Without seeming to take a bit of pains, she could entertain just as many as there hap pened to be, and though she was mighty fond of talking herself, she always let every one else 1 have a chance. You never saw anyone so well j pleased with everything as she seemed to be, and many’s the time I’ve heard her say, clap ping her hands in a kind of earnest way she had, all her own : “Oh! I would so like to live at the North. Everything is so nice and comfortable, here. The grass is so green and the water's so pure, and the air is so fresh Jland makes one feed so lively.” “Nothing would please us more than to have you compliment our young gentlemen so much, as to let someone of them induce you to re main,” said your mother, smiling cn her. “Oh!” says Mrs. Woodville, shaking her head, “Nora is the hardest child to please you ever did see. There ain’t a young man at the South that can make her like his name better than her own, though many a one has tried it. I should he very glad if Mr. Elmwood could have better luck.” Now, Mr. Elmwood was a gentleman, who [ was mighty intimate with your father, and al | ways visited at our house oftener than any j where else. He was a lawyer, and knew ail | the sciences by heart, and when he walked tho | strec-t he seemed to be in a brown study’. He wasn’t a young man, hut some how or other no one thought of calling him an old bachelor. I suppose it was because he was so different from most all the other men, who wanted to pass themselves off for young beaus. I never saw him so pleased with any one as he was with j Nora. You would have thought, to hear them talk, that she knew as much about the sciences and the arts as he did, though she did not make any parade of her learning. Then, again, when she talked with the children, she seemed as much a child as the simplest of them. “Nora, m v dear,” says Mrs. Woodville, late one day, “what do you think of Mr Elmwood ? How does he coniparo with your Southern gen tlemen ?” “Oh! 1 like him exceedingly,” says she, her face smiling all over, it looked so bright, “and 1 1 don’t think he would suffer by comparison with ! anybody. He is so intelligent, agreeable, and’ j seems to have such a generous and noble heart.” j “Do you think you would he willing to mar ry him, Nora?” says Mrs. Woodville, with a | knowing look. “I wish you would not want to turn every friend into a lover,” says Nora, hluslflug. “We are the best friends in the world, and mean to stay so, if you will only let us. I don’t believe he thinks of it any more than I do. I should he so Sony if he heard any such remark.” “Well,” says I, “Miss Nora, I never heard a young lady talk so sensibly about gentlemen belore. I don’t see why they can’t be friends as well as lovers, and stay so, too. If all the girls j would set as much store by themselves and not be in such a hurry to get married, the young men j wouldn’t he half so vain and foolish. They j thilik they have only to pick and choose, and you can’t make them believe anybody is an old maid from choice, to save their lives.” “1 shall make them know so, one of these days,” says Nora, laughing, “for I never will | marry unless I love with my whole heart and soul, and mind and strength. And I fear the man lives not, who can draw forth my latent cn ergies ot passion. lam so happy as 1 am,” con tinued she, ali in a glow of earnestness, “so happy at home, my own dear home, 1 have not one wish to leave it, till I am called to that bet ter home, where love eternal reigns.” She looked up as she said this, and I saw a J tear sparkling in her clear blue eye. it made us j all feel solemn, and nobody said anything more |to her about Mr. Elmwood. He came as usual, | at night, and she talked to hhn just as easy as | ever. Now, some girls are so silly, if they have been teased about a gentleman, they can’t be in His company afterwards without blushing and simpering, and acting awkward. But No ra had the best sense of any young lady I ever saw ; and Mr. Elmwood thought so, too. He never seemed to care for ladies before, any more than if he was the man in the moon. Though as he was thought to have an independent prop erty, and was sensible and not bad looking, he might have had a good chance to get married if he had wanted to. “Now, darling, I see you are thinking about the red velvet boddice. Never n>ind{ I’m com ing to it presently, in my roundabout way.” [to BE CONTINUED.] The anniversary of the birthday of Franklin was celebrated by tho Printers’ Union at Buffalo, in a splendid and elaborate manner. Among the toasts was the following: “The Magician of the Mind. —At whose will the lightning forsook the heavens to become the messenger of man.” Mr. Levien of the Buffalo Commercial offered also the following sentiment: “ Printers’ Wives. —May they always have plenty of small caps for the heads of their little original articles.” The bold-faced scamp, to drink such a toast! Gen. Pierce, it is stated, refused to see sepa rately either of the New York delegations which waited upon him hist week in relation to his cabinet appointments. Both delegations, friends and opponents of Mr. Dickinson, were therefore compelled to unite. The missipn is also said to have effected nothing. j NUMBER 6 COMMUNICATIONS. The following communication is one of a series of let ters written by the President of Oak Bowery Female College, in defense of the Institution, and in exposition of the system ot education adopted therein. It will be road with peculiar interest by all lovers of the Bible. . I'OR THE TIMES AND SENTINEL. The Bible as a Text Book. First of all, I have to say that we intend to advance tho Bible to a position which it has not hitherto occupied in any of our schools. I here solemnly re-assert what an ardent and eminent Brother attempted to proclaim some two or three years ago, and for the suggestion of which he met with prompt rebuke from a church organ, itself edited by a quondam college professor, viz., hall the young men and women who gradu ate at our church schools in these days, and that have graduated in them from the beginning, have gone into the world with twice the knowl edge of Greek and Roman Mythology, that they have of the Bible ! Os this 1 have not the shad ow of a doubt. Magnus pars fui. I graduated at Randolph Macon college. Dr, Olin was there, in liis palmiest days, Professor Parks was there, gifted, zealous and eloquent. The late Profes sor Simms was there. There was Dr. Weight man. Our chapel was illuminated with the most splendid exhibitions ot pulpit eloquence ami earnestness. More devoted men never graced the professional chairs of a college. I knew my associates; I know myself; 1 will not say the ministry of these great and good men was a secondary matter. I think far otherwise, but this I say, if I had not learned the New Tes tament and Catechism from my father in the woods, and Bishop Andrew’s venerable father, ("'h° taught a babbath school in Clark county, Geo, with no other text,) I should have received the degree of A. B, and been returned to my friends in Georgia almost a heathen. Jupiter 1 had much oftener heard than Jehovah! Athens was more familiar to my’ thoughts than Jerusalem; Cicero and Demosthenes were my models of eloquence. I scarcely deemed the Sermon on the Mount, or Paul’s immortal and incomparable speeches, worthy to be remember ed in connection with Cicero’s philippics against Catiline, or the effort of the great Athe mian orator de corona. The offices of the Ro man Moralist were vastly more distinct in my memory than the Proverbs of Solomon, and no one had ever told me, except on Sabbath, and in a sermon, that St. John was at all comparable to Isocrates. Ihe gods and graces of Mythology may he all very well. I do not question their importance when I assert there is more to be learned from any one book of the canonical Scriptures than from all the classic historians from Herodotus to Ctesar, and from all the Poets, from Homer to Byron. Just here we have yielded, fatally, sinfully, awfully yielded our point of honor. The Bible has stood in our parlors, and literature “falsely so called,” has usurped the principal seats and offices about our altars. Evangelical Re ligion has stood lor six days and nights at out- and crept stealthily in by back ways to our chape's on the seventh day. God has been banished from our lectures and text books, and “nature” and “laws,” and the blasphemous non sense of transcendental science and philosophy deified. Christ! O! who has heard of Christ as the God of geometry, or metaphysics, of chem istry or political economy ? He who poured the livers from his hand, what has he to do with “Hydrostatics?” He who launched upon the infinite fields of space the rolling spheres, what has he to do with “Dynamics?” He built the “stones ol the heavens,” yet Mechanics is taught oy mathematical lines and problems. These embrace “the science.” In our view and purpo ses these are the appropriate means for demon stration and illustration; hut the science is a high, spiritual apprehension of God, of Christ Jesus in the wide, wonderful empire of physi cal nature creating and disposing of matter in those combinations and relations, which the text recites ; more than this, the creation and disposition of matter 113’ Christ Jesus in its varied forms and hues, where ever met with, has refe rence not to a material good. The scheme of creation was not merely physically utilitarian ; time is something more than Aristotle defined it, “numerus motus secundum prius et posterius,” “ttie summation of motion with respect to first and alter.” Dante had the right conception, the science of this beautiful and sublime universe, tiie -‘true intelligence,” of this magnificent pano rama of ocean and forest, of mountain and plain, of river and lake, of flower and fruit, of central suns and circling planets, is “the knowl edge of God wherein alone the intellect finds clearness and eternal salvation.” This is “the good of the intellect.” “Cli hanno perduto il ben dello intellelto.” When shall Jesus Christ be inaugurated into tho empire of his own universe? How long shall we say with the Syrians, “the Lord is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys.” He made the world, but does not govern it. He thunders in the heavens, but rules not upon the earth. He dwells in the inner heavens. God made the universe to be ousted from its posses sion by “nature” and “laws.” This monstrous ahsnrditj-, tins reckless athe istic philosophy, with its technological parapher nalia, we denounce in the ears of all men. We have no mauvaise haute, in the matter; “an unde vout astronomer is mad!” More anon. WM. F. SAMFORD. The Bible as a Text Book—Botany. “Think you my song too turbulent ? too warm 1 “Arc passions then the Pagans of the soul ! “Reason alone baptised ! alone ordained “To touch things saered? O! for warmer still! “O! for an humbler heart and prouder soul! “Thou my much injured theme 1 with that soft eye, “Which melted o’er doomed Salem, deign to look “Compassion to the coldness of my hreasi, “And pardon to the winter in my strain.” Young's Night Thoughts. Mr. Editor. —Can 1 too much insist on the Bi ble as a text hook in the Methodist College ? Can I ho too emphatic in denouncing the athe ism of its exclusion from our seats of learning ? Shall our Botany classes analyze the flowers, and not find enfolded in their beautiful leaves a lesson of sacred import ? Who taught the rose to blush, and the tulip to glow, and what is the divine purpose in spreading their inimitable tints upon their silken leaves? Are these exquisite creatures all dumb and meaningless? Or do they plead to ever3’ susceptible heart for the so cial virtues, the tender, the sublime Christian graces? Have they voices that swell in unison with all the touching, gentle, beautiful, heart subduing, spiritual moralities of the sermon on the mount? Who that kindly grasps in one hand the nosegay, the gift of beauty and inno cence, would madly seize the dagger of the as sassin with the other? Who nTeeting a stranger in the solitary mountain pass, buried with the wild flowers, would expect to be arrested by the salutation of the highwayman, “Your money or your life?” Does Avarice, the “she wolf that looks full of all cravings in her leanness,” that “after feeding, is hungrier than before,” shade her sunken, sullen, caressing, leaden eye beneath a garland of flowers ? I am not sare, but that the language of the flowers is so distinct that someone may arise to construct a religious Flora, that shall express beautiful, sublime, true Christian sentiments.— The language of flowers is at least impressive; otherwise, it could not have happened that in the middle of the 17th century, tulips should sell for S4OOO, a piece, “and one of the variety called the Viceroi for $10,000.” That “this ex traordinary traffic” had to be “checked by law,’’ a law prescribing, that no tulip or otherflower, should he sold fora sum exceeding $175! Pliny says, “the lily is next in nobility to the rose.” Linnaeus called the liliaceous flowers, “Nobles of the vegetable kingdom,” he also call ed tho palm trees, “Princes of India,” and the grasses “ Plebeians It is hardly a figure of speech to say that one “converses with the flowers.” Their language is not that of .mute motionless matter. It changes with the season, with every breath of air that stirs their leaves, ever3’ shade of light that varies at once their hues and their expres sion. “Flowerets by the nightly chillness, bend ed down and closed,” have one voice, and when they “erect themselves all open on their stems, and the sun whitens them,” they have another. I do not say we ma}’ not shut our ears to the voice of the flowers. Man who hearkens neither to the music, nor the thunder of the spheres, and defies the utterances of omnipotent mercy and power of Olivet and Sinai, may be deaf to the gentle persuasions of the flowers. But the voice is none the less distinct, and he who humbly listens to its accents shall hear alike from the fading and the flourishing flower lessons of melting tenderness, and wooed,won,subdued,shall realize, and with a sacred, quiet rapture exclaim. “My Father made them all!” Why are trees thought to resemble men ? Great public characters are often described by reference to them. When Mr. Calhoun died, it was said, the erect, lofty southern “Pine” had fallen. When Mr. Clay died, it was the wes tern “Elm.” When Mr. Webster fell, it was the “old centurj’ Oak.” Gen. Jackson was the Hickory tree, the “old Ilickoiy,” It is not be cause there is any phj’sical resemblance between men and trees, but the proportions, the strength, the durability, the verdure of trees, suggest ir resistibly .to the mind, high, moral and intellec tual qualities which make up great public char acters. When we reflect that all these qualities that are estimable are like the attributes of God, are so estimable because of this similitude, and that Christ gave the world the only perfect manifestation of these qualities, it is not difficult to perceive that every tree in the forest is a Po et, and a Christian Preacher, that the whole ma terial universe is but a vast concave law, inten ded to concentrate and pour back in a tide of burning glory upon the brow of Deit3 r , the rays of His own supreme excellence which His mercy has radiated on the human consciousness for the purification—the happiness—the elevation of His intelligent creatures. Without flowers or fruits, the “beauty of na{ ture” would be a barren field for the Poet and Orator. From Chaucer to Thomson, the Eng lish classics, if not an absolute blank, would lose half their charms. Mont Blanc might remain “the Monarch of mountains,” but Auburn, “sweet Auburn, loveliest village of the plain,” would be a desolation. The Holy Scripturesabound in themostsnblime and touching allusions, to flowers and trees which verify the preceding observations and strikingly illustrate them. Does Christ wish to rebuke the vanity of Royal magnificence and teach the trusting troubled heart to rely on divine Provi dence ? “consider,” he exclaims, “the lilies of the field.” “Even Solomon, in all his glori’, was not arrayed like one of these.” Hear Isaiah. Is there no power in this preaching? “All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field.— The grass witbereth, the flower fadeth, because the spirit of the Lord blowelh upon it: surety the people is grass. The grass witbereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.” “The roses of Sharon” and “Damascus,” have voices of import. The “Palm tree,” and “Cedar in Leanon” are made to express the pros perity of the righteous while the “ungodly” is seen “flourishing like a green bay tree.” “The Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of a high stature; and his top was among the thick houghs. The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field. Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his houghs were multiplied, and his branches became long, because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth. All the fowls of Heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations- Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches, for his root was by great waters. The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him. The Fir trees were not like his boughs, and the Chestnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beau ty. I have made him fair In’ the multitude of his branches ; so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.” “Leba non mourned for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.’’ The “nations” God made, “to shake at the sound of his fall.” Let any man read the 31st chapter of Ezekiel, from which this is extracted, and say there is no the ology in the trees. The garden of Eden—what would be our con ception ofit without its fruit trees and flowers ? It was among these that our innocent first pa rents were placed, that angels visited them. Os Christ it is said, “His countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.’’ “He feedeth among the lilies,” “1113’ beloved is gone down into his garden to the beds of spices—to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.” “This thy statue is like to a Palm tree.” “His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers, his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.” How appropriately do we plant trees in memo ry of the dead, and flowers on their graves.— Even John McDonough’s conception of the or phan,visiting his grave to plant flowers, half em balms his memory and ennobles his strange character. Moses cast a tree into the waters of Marah to sweeten them. 1 need ring no changes upon “the tree of Liberty,” of which Mr. Webster said it had “shot its roots so deep into this hemisphere, that the bolt that dislodges it must rend the orb.” O! who does not hunger for the fruit that grows upon the “tree of life?” whoso diseased humanity does not faint for the application of those “leaves which were for the healing of the nations?” Now, Mr. Editor, this is what I intend to say. The science of Botany is something more than the analysis and classification of flowers. It is a high, spiritual, Christian study, and when we in Oak Bowery Female College, like Solomon, “speak of trees from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall,” we shall give them voices, deep, emphatic utterances of Christ, who is as truly the sum of all science as ho is of salvation. If you allow me, I may extend this train of thought into other fields, in forthcoming Nos. Respectfully, WM. F. SAMFORD.
