A LL persons who desire to obtain full and relia

.Machines—their price, capacities,ad vantages, sizes,

curing them, and all other particulars—can do so
by applying at our office

GAZETTE. This paper is devoted entirely to
the Sewing Machine interest. Copies will be sup
plied gratis to all interested.
N. li.—The unparalleled suecess_of onr Sewing
Machines lias induced several fraudulent imitations
of them, besides numerous infringements of our
patents—of which we own sixteen. .Suits for the
infringement of onr patents have recently been de
cided in our favor in the L : . S. Circuit Courts in
New York and New Jersey. In these suits the
great principle of hoteling down tlir fabric to lie sewed
to the surf i.c of the Machine, hy a yielding pressure,
which is used in all Sewing Machines—has been
fully established. The Wheeler & Wilson, and
the Grover & Baker Sewing Machines, as we al
lege, each infringe rtiree distinct patents owned by
us. We have suits against them in several of the
II. S. Courts, which will soon be tried. We here
by caution the public not to buy any infringed
Machines, as they can he compelled by law to stop
using them, and to pay costs and damages.
TV Local agents wanted to make sales of onr
improved sewing machines. To persons properly
qualified for the business, a rare opportunity for
profitable and pleasant employment is offered.
New and improved machines exchanged on lib
eral terms for old machines of every kind.

DiSPEPSIA—ITS REMEDY!
B BISS’ Dyspctic Remedy.
A now medical compound, and the result of long prac
tice, extensive observation and close study of all forms of
disease having their origin in a diseased state of the
stomach, adapted to every stage of those diseases from
their incipient symptoms lo tlios*' in which they haveas-
sunied the Chronic form. This remedy and the treat
ment prescribed to accompanv the taMrg of the medi
cine, have tl.e sanction of years of successful application
in private practice. It was not suddenly hit upon, nor
dreamed of, but is the assertion of facts and experiments
collected in the daily rounds of duty as a practicing phy
sician, and is given to the public in a popular form, in
the hope, as in the belief, that it will not fail in giving
relief to the sufferer from Dyspepsia and all other dis
eases having their origin in the stomach, in any instance
where the directions are properly attended to- It is en
tirely dissimi’ar to any and every preparation of the kind
now before the people. The originator entertaining views
and opinions somewhat at variance with the prescribed
notions among medical men generally as regards the na
ture of these diseases, has in this preparation brought to
gether medical agents of known utility and worth in the
form of a new combination, making a compound alto
gether and entirely new, and one that will not fail to
cure in the most agravated and stubborn passes of the
diseases refered to, providing the medicine is properly
‘ taken, and all the accompanying directions followed out
The untie reigned i well aware that the same encour-
agment has been given, and thesam* promises have al
ready been made over and over again hy manufacturers
of patent medicines as regards their different prepara
tions, and the only voucher he has to offer for the cura~
live qualities of this preparation, is the reputation of sue-
cess m ••Chronic Cases,” that he gained throughout
Middle Georgia while in the practice of his profusion
lie would, aso for the purpose of giving qddil onal
£*ighi lo whatever he may say as regards this new pre
paration, beg to refer t * ihe fart ti at he is the origina
tor, manufacturer, and proprietor of i lie medicine known
as‘*J \CUHS CORDIAL," the curative properties.of
which in Cholera, Dysentery anti oiarrlmie is now being
proclaimed by thousands in every seeiion oft lie country,
and as being all that he ever said of it.
Dyspepsia, like Gout may be said to e a fashionable
disease; it, more readily than any other, in various of its
forms, and to a greater extent, finds its victims in the
wealthy and aristocratic circles, especially in cities,ami
its insideous workings are often the real, though undis
covered cause of the sallow* cheek, the dull, heavy eye,
and the general inertia; indisposition to either mental or
physical effort, which are erroneously attributed tooth
er causes. As a remedy in Dyspepsia, this preparation
siands ot the brad of all others in csiablishiog a healthy
and vigorous action of the various organs, and restoring
to their natural functions those organs which have been
prevented hy ibis disease.
NERVOUS SUFFERERS; This preparation is also
particularly recommended, as well as to those suffering
from Diseas' d Liver. In weak and d« bilitated systems,
it will be found as possessing Ionic properties to a pie-
eininent degree and very admirably adapted to a large
portion of the female sex whose debilitated and worn
out constitutions require an artificial restorer.

that before 1 had used all the second bottle, (which was
eight weeks,) my hair was entirely changed lo i s orie-

Stray Fancies of a Young Life.
I wisli you could have seen her—my
first love! 1 had reached the advanced
age of ten whetj my heart surrendered it
self to Fdhny C , and the young lady
was no older. We attended the same
school, and she used to cast at mo side
long, modest glances of affection in answer
to my broad stare of admiration, when wc
encounter each other in the street on our
way to the temple of learning. At last,
one evening, we met at a juvenile party;
we were both seized with a chronic ' lush
ing, and when iu the course of some kiss
ing game I choose her, and imprinted a
kiss upon her cheek, she was quite over
powered. I remember a joyous, spring
like thrill which that chaste, pure kiss of
boyish affection sent tingling through my
blood. We became bound to each other
from*that happy minute.
1 dream pt of that girl for three nights
successively, and when Saturday came
was miserable, very miserable; for I know
I should not sec her agaiu till Monday. I
wandered in the direction of her father’s
residence on Saturday afternoon, instead
of playing “hockey” with my companions.
He lived in a court. I dared not turn in
to it, but I passed hy the end several
times with the air of a corsair disappointed
in love.
I detected myself now often before a
looking glass, continually brushing my
hair and putting on clean collars. I pol
ished my shoes every day, and in my pro
gress towards refinement, even declined
to engage in any outside games. Fanny
and 1 would meet each other at appointed
times and places, and take long walks to
gether. Where we wondered in these
excursions, I know not, but was certainly
very happy; and when I returned home
was always anxious to know if there
wasn’t a rent in my agparel, or white-wash
on my jacket, or some other little matter
which might have deducted from the splen
dor of my personal appearance .during the
walk. '
No living man, even the President of
the United States, whoever that dignity
might have been at the time, held so high
a place in my imagination as Fanny’s
fath er. liis effect upon me was astound
ing. He certainly was not possessed of
extraordinary talents, and, I have since
discovered was rather a commonplace
character; but he was Fanny’s father, and
that was enough for me. A man who was
the parent of such a girl should not be
compared with the general run of humani
ty, bv any means. I think I feared him,
for in my*mind lie possessed most ot the
traits which history gave Oliver Cromwell,
mingled with some of the characteristics
of Napoienn Bonaparte. Yet this man,
knowing doubtless of my acquaintance
with Fanny, addressed me one day in the
street and said: “Well my hoy, call and
see 041 r Fanny; I know she would like to
see you!”
Here was condescension!—a gentleman
of his age and standing inviting me to call
and see his daughter! I blushed and mut
tered some thanks, which he replied to
with a hearty laugh, and passed on. I cn-
tained an idea that Mr. C. was enor
mously rich. I knew that if he chose, he
could draw fjom his packet a handful of
gold eagles at any time. I wondered
why lie wasn’t governor of the State, or
something of that sort, and pondered on
the celebrated ingratitude of republics.
And this man wished me to call upon his
daughter! Bless me! I rather thought I
would.
I went home, and in an easy, gentle
manly way informed my mother—dear
mother! 1 see her quiet smile now—that
Mr. C v had just invited me to call on
Fanny, and I thought I should accept and
visit her in the course of a day or two. In
a day or two!—yes, indeed. Deceitful
hoy that I was! 1 knew I should call di
rectly after school with Fanny, that after
noon. It was a great thought. I should
accompany that dear girl home, walk up
the steps to the door, and instead of then
bidding her farewell, would enter that
abode of happiness. xYnd when my moth
er told me that I appeared to he very fond
of Miss Fanny didn’t I ignore the fact on
the spot, and endeavoring to laugh it off
cavaliarly, and signally fail in the attempt?
And then the pains I took about my dress
that noon; it really seemed that the do
mestics did get up my linen very carlessly
now. I mentioned it. 1 mentioned it to
my mother as she was pining on my collar,
but she didn’t agree with me.
I started for school that afternoon witlv
a beating heart, but full of hope, and al
ready enjoying my happiness in anticipa
tion. But even as I gazed upon the old
brick school-house, my heart sank within
me, and I feared I scarcely knew what.
Alas! Fanny was not at school! She had
been taken suddenly .ill that morning, and
the physician had ordered her to keep
within doors. Thus was my cup of hap
piness dashed to the earth. Long and
wearv days wassed, and still her seat was
empty. I mustered up courage, and bold
ly rang at her father’s door, and inquired
after her. I am sure I must have looked
sheepishly about it, for the servant laugh
ed at ine. 1 think I could have seen that
man trampled by wild elephants, or shot
out of a cannon, or put to a painful death
in any other orential manner, without the
slightest pity for him. This miserable
domestic informed me that Fanny was
growing better. I was happy in my
heart, but could not, as I intended, fend
my restpects through this man; so I turned
upon my heel and left, wondering in what
part of the house Fanny was lying.
At last I saw her again. 1 pressed her
soft, little hand, and gazed tenderly upon
her pale face. 1 called to see her, and
as she became well and iiearty again, I
saw her oftener, and we were on the most
intimate terms. We walked together; we
sat cozily at home and played back gam
mon: and at intervals, I took tea at her
mother’s table.
A family-party of us attended the
theatre, and at my earnest request my
mother despatched me to invite Fanny to
go with us.
Her mother consented, and we were very,
very happy while witnessing the represen
tation of the drama of the ‘Forty Thieves’
Fanny clapped her hands for joy when
Ali Baba was safely out of the cavern with
his store of treasure, and shuddered and
crept close to me when Morgiana poisoned
the robbers in the jars. I wasn’t worth
much for study for many days after that.
My master chided me, and what was worse,
detained me after school hours. This
stroke of bad fortune deprived me of the
pleasure of walking home with Fanny, and
I was the more chagrined since I had
reason to believe that a stout boy, with
very black eyes took occasion at these
times to pay attention to her; and I had
once detected him disappearing around the
corner of the street in her company, as I
emerged from the school door. I sunk to
the lowest depths of despair, and fancied
no one could ever be so irremediably
wretched.
1 never affected the society of that boy;
it appeared to me that there was some in
nate, inherent badness in his character; and
I felt it my duty to warn Fanny against
so abandoned a villian. She replied with
a toss of her pretty head which I did not
half like. 1 brushed rudely against the
black-eyed boy when I encountered him;
and seeking out some peculiarity in the
texture of his apparel, insulting him gross
ly, with a sarcastic mention of it. I took
exception to his gait, and gave a burlesque
imitation of it in the open street; indeed,
1 tried various ways to pick a quarrel with
him. 1 even went so far as to taunt him
with his attention to Fanny; this touched
him, and he gave me battle; he gave me
more—he gave me a thrashing. In this
conflict I received a black eye, which re
sulted in some trouble for me at home ; and
would* you believe it, Fanny laughed-at
me ! This led to a series of recriminations,
and we parted in a quarrel. How grieved
I was at what I had done, and how vexed
with myself for having had any words with
Fanny, 1 need not state here. However,
in a day or two, she begged my pardon,
and with an expression of offended dignity,
I forgave her, as if I were a prince of the
blood, and she some poor peasant’s child.
I felt grandly, and longed to embrace ber,
but that would’nt do at all; it might com
promise me. I must make it appear that
she had been entirely in the wrong
After this, we were fast friends, and the
black-eyed boy had no chance. I still en
vied him hugely for’one thing, and that was
his beautiful hair, which was always part
ed and dressed stylishly I am inclined
to think that lie used Macassar; and indeed
there was a rumor rife with the boys that
he poured an entire vial of that ambrosial
liquor upon his locks each day. Now my
hair was flaxen and curly, and, I was com
pelled to own, suffered greatly in compari
son with his. I had serious thoughts of
using a hair-dye, and applied to my mother
for funds f,.r the purchase thereof, but she
said something about the progress of‘Young
America,’ which at that time I did not un
derstand, and refused to assent to my plan
of amending nature. Poor woman! she
admired the color of my hair as it was, I
know; for my father, when young, possess
ed locks of the same sunny shade.
I attended another party, and among
the guests were Fanny and the black eyed
boy, who, by the-by, was rather attentive
to* girl in a yellow frock, whom I con
sidered handsome; hut Fanny couldn’t
bear her.
Why did Fanny appear so very plain
that evening? Why couldn’t her mother
have brushed that wisp out of her hair?
Why was that pretty apron so one sided/
It was strange she should be so careless of
ber looks. But the yellow frock! How
very beautiful she was, to be sure! I
spoke to her; she replied sweetly, and
blushed. ThCrt^was no wisp in her hair,
and her apron was adjusted to a charm.
Why should I devote myself so entirely to
Fanny? Was it not apparent that many
of the prettiest girls in the room were mad
ly in love with me? Couldn’t I choose for
myself and flirt with any of them? And
was ii required that I should be the bond-
slave of a girl, of whose affection I was as
sured in any event? Certainly not. If
Fanny wished to retain my love, she
should take better care of her hair, and,
above all, not consider it entirely under
stood that I entirely belonged to her.—
There was no engagement or understand
ing between us yet. By George! I was
free, I hoped, and could of course pay my
devoirs to any young lady I fancied.
Then what a killing flirtation I com
menced with the yellow frock! How coy
ly yet how gracefully she received my ad
vances, and how exultingly- I gazed at
Fanny! Poor girl!—she sat with down
cast looks, and hardly seOmed to enjoy the
games and spirts of the evening. I began
to feel a grand and kindly pity for her,
and made up my mind to go over to her
and throw out a word of encouragement,
after I had assured myself of success xvith
the yellow frock. When supper hour
arrived, I remarked to Fanny, in a quiet
way, that 1 had engaged to wait on yel
low frock to the table, but should be pleas
ed to give her my disengaged arm. She
looked up at ine with a trembling lip; she
said she would not trouble me; she had
other resources. With a smile of superior
ity, but with a very unpleasant feeling
about the throat, I passed down to supper
in as stately a manner as I could assume.
Fanny received at supper, and during
-he balance of the evening, the unremit
ting attentions of the black eyed boy.—
How any young lady could associate with
such a person, I could not, for the life of
me, conceive. She will regret this very
much, thought I, in after life, when he
escapes from the States prison, where he
had been incarcerated for forgery, and
takes to the high seas as a pirate, and is
captured, and is brought to this port by a
sloop of-war, and is tried, condemned and
hanged, and not iu the slightest way re
commended to mercy, and dies unrepen
tant after an unsuccessful attempt to stab
the executioner with a Spanish dirk, which
he has managed to conceal in his long,
dark hair. She will regret very much
having had any communication with him
when this occurs; and it seemed a probable
train of circumstances to my mind at the
time.
When the hour arrived for the Freak
ing up of»the party, that scoundrel in em
bryo bade an affectionate adieu to Fanny,
and attended her to her carriage. She
scarcely deigned to glacncc ai me, as she
passed me in the hall. Meantime I flat
tered myself that I had made a great im
pression upon the yellow frock, and deter
mined to know more about her at any rate;
but after all, if the truth was told, I left
the house for home quite unhappy.
I wept, I am sure, after I retired, and
dreamed artful dreams, and in the wild
and varied fancies of my disturbed slumber,
and black eyed boy towered, preeminent
in all sorts of wickedness, like Satan in
“Paradise Lost.”
It' required long and tedions weeks to
recover even a small portion in Fanny’s
heart, and she never again had the same
respect for me as before. New loves came
forward, and the gulf between us gradual
ly widened. We both formed other at
tachments and in time they also gave place
to others. Sometimes in my boyish re
gret I would hat e given worlds if she
could have loved me as she once did, and
doubtless she entertained the same wish
with regard to me; hut we both probably
were certain that it could never he 60
again.
It is a fihase of youthful life, but the
moral will apply- to latter years. We
trample the flowers of friendship and love
under our feet—sometimes from mere
caprice—and then in the dark hours which
come to every- one, we wish those same
flowers were blooming brightly and fresh
ly, in our hearts.
I saw Fanny in the streets a few weeks
since, with a sturdy little blue eyed fellow
of a boy; she smiled graciously, and give
me a matronly- bow; I wonder if she re
membered how much we once loved each
other.
A Raft and its Destiny.
Recently, while in the vicinity of Feck
Slip, New York, was observed a little
steam tug puffing with the laborious task of
towing a huge raft of pine logs—a raft so
large that the little steam tug which towed
it was as the fly to the ox which it torments.
The logs were all large big trees that were
in their native fastnesses last winter,
brought the profuse perspiration to the fore
head of the wooodman who felled them,
with the thermometer far below the freez
ing point. They grew up at head waters
of the Susquebannah river, in Pennsylva
nia, and were run down that stream
this spring, in the freshet that annually
.occurs there with the melting of the forest
snows.
Two hundred and fifty miles they des
cended that river on its downward current.
Then, broken up into sections of suit
able size, a horse l eing attached to each,
they were towed throngh the canal into
Raritan Bay. Joined together again; a
steamer tows the whole mass of timber to
its destination at this city-. A Susquehan-
nah raft is twelve logs long, each log from
16 to 24 feet in length, and about thirty
wide. They are secured compactly by
wooden pins, fastening them to cross
poles, and on the top of this immense
superfices of timber is piled an equal
quantity entirely loose.
The reader probably conjectures that it
was destined for some of our ship yards;
this was our own surmise, for here was
more pine timber than would be required
for a dozen ordinary- ships, or the largest
ship in America; but we were wrong.—
The entire raft was purchased by a city-
manufacturer, to be converted into locofoco
matches! This is an absolute fact, and
gives a tangible idea of the immense
amount of material consumed in manufac
tures, which we often consider as insigni
ficant of no impotanec.— N. Y. Cou

Onr Extravagances.
A popular French preacher has startled
tlie Parisians lately, by preaching against
the extravagances in costume and living
indulged in at the present time by the in
habitants of Paris. This bearding the
lion in his den shows great courage, and
an exalted virtue in the preacher; but the
Parisians will not feel themselves hound to
follow the counsels of a teacher who at
tempts to better their morals at the ex
pense of their trade. The prosperity of
France depends upon her manufactures,
and these depend, again, upon the fashions
—so that a blow struck at one will he sure
to affect the other. Paris sets the fash
ions for the rest of the world, and then
supplies the wants she has created. To
increase the fashion of a lady’s dress a
yard in width, is to give increased stimu
lus to French manufactures; millions of
yards of silks, and velvets, and lawns, and
brocades, must be woven to supply the in
creased demand, which the new fashion
makes for these materials all over the
world.
If the Empress Eugenie, when she again
appears in public, should add a new flounce
to her robe, the effect of the change would
be felt by- the shop-keepers in Broadway
in less than a month, and the importer of
French silks would enlarge his orders to
his agent in Paris, to meet the new rage.
And so the fashion would travel round the
world, increasing the demand for French
goods wherever it penetrated. Franco
prospers by the extravagances of dress,
which she first creates; and the abbe.who
denounced the prevailing enormities of cos
tume, though a good moralist, was a very
bad political economist.
But, such a preacher in this country
might do a world of good, not only in a
moral but in an economicakfoint of view,
we import all our gew-gaws and finery,
and the less we consume the greater is our
saving. It is of no profit to us to increase *
the luxuries which another nation must
furnish.
But the worst of our imitations of French
extravagance is, that we exaggerate to an
absurd degree whatever we imitate. In
dressing, dining, and all kinds of decora
tions, we fairly outstrip all the rest of the
world. Foreigners who come here filled
with the impressions of Paris and London
are completely astonnded at the volup
tuousness and costly brilliance of our ex
ternal life. The straining for effect, the
strife to ontshine, the labored efforts to
outdo, which are so plainly apparent every
where, take away the breath of moderate
men. The whirl aud glitter, and gilding
of society; the profuseness of onr public
entertainments, the voluptuousness of our
hotels, the waste, extravagance, and exces
ses ♦rhich are witnessed on all sides, form
the proper subjects for pulpit denuncia
tions ; but, what we most need, as a cura
tive to our extravagances, and a curb upon
otir social profligacies of dress and decora
tion, is the example of a pure and correct
taste, an intelligent simplicity of style,
and a courageous disregard of the-rage of
the hour.
A foreigner, who visited New York two
years since, said, that what we most need
ed was a George Fox to preach modera
tion. But we need a preacher with the
heroic virtues of Fox, without his asceti
cism and gloomy fanaticism, to check our
extravagances. The few who have an ac
knowledged position in society, who can
neither be suspected of a lack of means or
a lack of taste, are the preachers who can
do the most good by their moderatien, sim
ple habits and unostentatious manner of
living. But, until they will do this, the
effort among us all to make as good a dis- •
play as Mrs. Grundy, will keep us in the
continual whirl of extravagances, which
must bring on its periodical bankruptcies
and commercial revulsions.— JV. Y. Timet.
