TERRY, Jan, 1S6I, Sm-vtnl CrescentCity, lova The Xcw ratcnl Law.' In view of the vast interest involved in Patents, we feel it incumbent upon us to gire our reauers a synopsis or tneixew Patent Law passed by the late Session of Congress, and which has already gone nto operation. Ihis law provides that all patents hereafter granted, except for de signs, shall run fcr seventeen years, .and that the fee payable to the Government on the filing the application for such patent, shall be 15. and S20 additional when the patent passes for issue, if the application be allowed, but if not allowed tht re will be no further fee required. All applications which have been pending, and all applications which shall, not beiade complete within two years from the time of filing shall be considered abandoned, and will be so treated, unless good cause be shown to the Commissioners for such delay. , This law also provides that Patents may be granted for any new and original de sign in manufactures printing, has relief in alto or lasso relievo, ornamenit, or new styles of. stove plates, picture frames, all new forms of articles of glass, china or earthenware ; also, pictures, prints, paint ings and artistic designs of every possible description, and no person can use or pat- ern after the same without the consent of jhe inventor. . It also provides that any new form of manufacture may be patent ed, merchants and druggists can obtain patents upon their trade marks and labels, which they attach to their goods. .Print ers may secure new designs for type, &c; bookbinders, new styles of binding or de signs for covers ; mechanics, for any new article of tool, pattern or plan, used in any trade or profession, any new form or style of gates, fences, posts, cornices, mouldings, tables, chairs, or any other article of furniture ; also, railings, ban isters, doors, &c, &., for the terms, of three and one-half, seven and fifteen years, as the applicant may desire. The ees being for three and a half years, S10 ; for seven years, 15 ; for fifteen years $30. , This law also abolishes so much of the thirteenth section of the act of July 4th, 1836, as authorizes the Commissioner to issue a kind of supplemental. Patent for additional improvements or inventions al ready granted, making it necessary to take out original patents for all improvements.' The fee upon the filing of an application for a re-issue will hereafter be S30, and the fee upon the filing of a caveat will be $10, .which will not hereafter be consid ered a portion of the patent fee. .This aw also abolishes the discriminating fees il . r I. . ' against ail ioreigners wnose respective governments, give our citizens the same privilege they do their own, thus allow ing English, Belgian, Austrian, French, Russian and Spanish, and indeed, all other foreigners but Canadians, to take patents upon the same terms as our own citizens, except in case of designs, trade marks, patterns, ccc. This law also provides tnat a iee oi $20 shall be paid to the Government upon the filing of every appeal to the Commis sioner, and on the filiug of every appli cation for an extension, $r'0 ; and in case the patent be extended, an additional fee of $50; but no patent hereajter granted will le extended. It is farther provided, that at least ten copies of every patent shall be printed both the specification and drawing; and it k farther provided, that any magistrate before whom depositions are taken, to be used in any contested case pending before the Commissioner of Patents, shall have power to issue process to compel jhe at tendance of witnesses as in other Judicial proceedings. , m Maklag Bread. A Granite State Fanners' wife writes the Boston Cultivator that the following mode of making bread is very simple and cheap, and that she has practiced it two years and never had "bad luck with her bread. Take one quart of warm water and one teaspoonful of salt; let the salt dissolve in the water ; stir in flour enough to make it quite thick, set the dish in a kettle of warm water and keep tne water in tne kettle quite warm, but cot warm enough to scald the enptvincs. In an hour stir m two tablespoonfuls more flour and let it rest until it rises, which will take an hour and a half at the longest. Have rady your pan of flour; pour the empty ings into the flour, take a tea-cup full of warm water to rinse out the emptyings that adhere to the dish and pour ft with the rest ; then stir the flour and yeast to gether until the mass becomes quite thick, but not hard. Set the pan in a warm place and let it sponge half an hour ; then stir in more flour and knead it and put into the baking dishes ; let it stand in a warm place tenor fifteen minutes, then I.nkfi. Be careful not to let it , rise too much the last time for it will be too por ous. The more dough is kneaded the better the bread will be, that is, if you do not get in too much flour so as to make it hard. . Good Hacking may be made as follows: 1 gall, of good vinegar ; 12 lb. of good sugar; 1-2 oz. oil of vitrol; and 1 oz. sweet oil; mix together and stir in 1 lb. of well pulverized ivory black, thorough ly incorporating and mixing the whole. It is saia that 2000 gallons of molasses were made this season from Chinese sugar cane, in Cumberland county, MJ. ' From tte Farmer and Garduer. , . Preparing Corn For SccJ. Me. Editor: As anything that tenuis to the increase of anv of our cereal cropi, is 'a matter cf great interest, I offer n rnemoraddum on the subject of advancing! the growth cf the young corn-plant, that j I think worthy of the attention of farm- j ers, I shall certainly test its merits my self at Chestnut Grove this summer I would advise its being tried. .It cannot retard the germination of the seed,, nor in any way injure it, therefore I bespeak for it a trial. Very respectfully, yours, CiXABLES WuARTO.t, Jjl. We extract the following from- the Bureau County Republican'. Last vear Dr. Chamberlain or , this place, made some practical experiments with chloride of lime, and although he claimed nothing more than the application of a well known principle, he demonstrat ed the fact that nearly half the time might be saved in germinating the seed by the use of chloride of lime. Not satisfied with the success of last year, tho Doctor is ajrain in the field of experiment.' In his office he had four boxes ; in the first is corn planted without soaking and the seed not germinated ; in the second the seed was soaked in warm water which has just commenced to germinate ; in the third is seed soaked in a solution of chlo ride of lime and green blades are. just peeping from the ground, in the fourth is seed soaked in a solution of chloride cf lime and copperas in equal parts, and the blades are now nearly three inches above the ground. All the seeds were planted at the same time, in the same quality of soil and taken from the same ear. The boxes have all had an equal share of heat and liht, neither allowed any advantage over the other. This experiment should attract the attention of farmers. .We conclude from four to six weeks may be saved by the use of chloride of lime and copperas, which is a matter of no ordinary moment, when we reilect that a delay in the germination of the seed of two weeks, frequently places tbe crop within, reach of the frost in the fall. Another fact of some importance may also be ; mentioned. The copperas used in soaking will prevent the birds, squirrels, worms, &c, from eating the seed. -' ' Dr. Chamberlain assures us that one pound of chloride of lime and one pound of copperas in water will soak enough seed for twenty acres.- The cost will not be over twenty-five cents. Every farmer could afford to make the experiment, even if he should fail to derive any benefit from it. Table of Distances- The following table may be useful to the gardener, in showing the number of plants, or trees, that may be raised on an acre of ground, when planted at any of the undermentioned distances: 1 foot apart, 43,560 plants. 1 1-2 .

There the words remain scorching, not to be explained away, not to be atoned for by a kiss, not to be soft ened down by the word of love that may follow so ouicklv upon spoken anjrer. This at least should be a rule through the letter-writing world, that no angry letter be posted till four-and-twenty hours shall have elapsed since it was written. We all know how absurd is that other rule of saying the alphebet when you are angry. Trash! Sit down and write your letter ; write it with all the venom in your power ; spit out your spleen at the fullest ; it will do you good, You think you have been injured ; say all that you can say with all your poisoned eloquence, and gratify yourself by reading it while your temper is still hot. Then put it in your desk ; and, as a matter of course, burn it before breakfast the following morning. Believe me, then you will have a double gratifica tion. Religious .Magazine. God sometimes gives to a man a guilt less and holy second childhood, in which the soul becomes childlike, not childish, and the faculties in full fruit and ripe ness, are mellow wi'.hout sign of decay. This is that sought-for land of Buelah, where they who have travelled manfully the christian way abide awhile, to show the world a perfect manhood. Life with its battles and its sorrows lies far behind them ; the soul ha3 thrown off its armor, and sits in an evening undress cf calm and hcly leisure. Thrice blessed the family or neighborhood that numbers among it one of those not-yet-ascended saints ! iirr1 Tt Ttv Tllttn r"ftTTr A crippled beggar in was striving to pick up some eld clothes that had been thrown to him from a window, when a crowd cf rude boys gathered &hnt mimicking his awkward movements, arJ hooting at his helplessness and ras. Preseutly, a noble little fellow came ud. and pushing through .the crowd, helped tne poor crippled man to pick up his gifts, and placed them in a bundle ; then slip ping a piece of silver into his hands, he was running away, when a voice far above him said : "Little bov with a ok up !"' He did so ; and a lady, lean- ins rrom an upper storv window, cni.1 earnestly: "God bless vou. mv little fel low ! God will bless you for that !" The lady was the wife of a man so distinguished among the great men of the world that every one of those boys would have been proud to gain her approbation ; and when she wrote, down his name as one she wished to remember, he felt more than paid for what he had done. As he walked along, he thought how glad he had made his own heart by doing good. lie thought or the poor beggar's greatful look ; then of the lady's smile, and her wcrds cf ap proval; and last, and better than all. he could almost h-ar his Heavenly Father wnispenng: 44iiiessed are the mere ful. for thev shall obtain mernv " Tin! reader, when you have an opportunity to do good, and feel tempted to neglect it, remember the "little boy with the straw hat." Mohair is the hair of a variety of the comnaen goat, found in the vicinity of An gora, in Asia Minor. - It is famous fcr being as soft as silk and of a silvery whiteness. ' - The Two rorlralts. You have heard the story of the Italian artist, who, meeting with a child of ex quisite beauty, wished to preserve its features fcr fear he should never see such loveliness again. So he painted the charm ing face upon canvass, and hung it on the walls of his studio. In his somberest hours, that sweet, gentle countenance was like an angel of light to him. Its pres ence filled his soul with the purest aspi rations. "If ever I find," he said, "a perfect contrast to this beautiful face, I will paint that also, and hang them side by side, an ideal cf heaven and hell. Years passed. At length, in a distant land, he saw in a prison he visited the most hideous object he ever gazed upon a fiprce, hagard fiend, with glaring eyes and cheeks deeply furrowed with lust and FT I 1 It" crime, ine arust rememcerea ins vow. and immediately painted a picture of this loathsome form to hang beside the lovely boy. The contrast was perfect. His dream was realized. 'What was the sur prise of this artist, on inquiring into the history of this horrid wretch, to find that he was once that lovely little boy. Both of these pictures, the angel and the de mon of the same soul, now hang side by side in the Tuscan gallery. Little boy or girl, if you wish to pre serve those eyes as bright as they now are, and that face as pleasant and sweet as it now 13 to look upon, you must keep your heart pure.

A bright-eyed little niece of ours, who bears the sweet name cf Adelle, and who has never yet seen but the rosy summers, sometimes has her "young h:art shaded" by sorrow, and then it is her custom to retire from society, and indJge in the manifestations of grief, unmolested. At one time, while staying with her grandmother, something occurred that sadly grieved little Adelle, and, as usual, she sought solitude in an adjoining apart ment. She was absent but a short time, however, before she was heard saying, "There, that's a lady !" and soon she pre sented herself, looking as smiling as the sun after an April shower ! Shehal con quered ! Encouraging herself with the idea of being a little lady (as she had, probably, often been encouraged before by her mother), she had wiped the tears from her rosy cheeks, thrown grief to the winds, and joined the company with the determination to forget the past and be happy ! What an example is here, even for those who are older and more experienced! Whether our afflictions are great or small, there is danger cf adding to them by suf fering our minds to dwell upon them con tinually, as by so doing we gradually ac quire gloomy dispositions, that render us incapable of enjoying the sweet3 still afforded us. Let U3 be assured, that whatever may be the cause of our sorrow," it is always best to look at the bright side; and the sooner we can, like little Adelle, wipe our eye3, and determine to be like rational ladies or gentlemen, and after using the means of relief in our power, occupy our mind3, as far as possible, in the perform ance of present duties, the better it will be for ourselves and the dear friends around us. Household Journal. 91 it.u Mr. R.

There is r.o mystery in it. Eif ;ri::.c; alone must teach the prefer rcsitba an. I soil; the right distances r.part fcr tho vines; th.2 most judieicus ir.ethcds cf spring and summer p runir. ; and zz for cultivation, keep tho ground clcza with' the plough or cultivator, like corn. Cer tain rules are given in lock, fr vincyr.r-.l culture, 33 pursued in the Ohio valley. These arc the European syren..;, a Japed to our own country. It wi l Lo zzi-i tj follow these rules, until ty e;;; eri:e;::ir , we can find letter. Thsre is mcro rccm for progress in this branch cf agriculture than in almost any ether. Making the wine is a simplo as making cider. The great bunchc3 are cut from the vines, and all unsound cr unripo ber ries picked clT the bunch and thrown in'.,) a bucket, to make with the addition cf sugar vinegar, cr an inferior wine. Tho perfect grapes of each day's cutting are taken to the wine house, and in the even ing, after being mashed in a barrel with a beetle stem and berries or pieced through wooden rollers in a small mil!r . or put cn the press, and the juice extract ed. About one-third runs elf without any pressure. The outer edges cf the pemaco are cut eff for eight or ten inches, after the first pressing, separated with thu hands, and thrown cn top, when the power of the screw is applied, and another precs ing made. This is repeated two or three times. The juice from the last pressing, being very dark and astringent, is put with the inferior wine. The ether is put in large casks filled about fire-sixths full, to ferment and make the good wine. No sugar or brandy should be added to tho best Catawba juice, cr must, as it makcj a better wine without, and 13 strong enough to keep well. One cr.d cf a siphon is placed in the bung hole cf tho cask; tho other being crooked over, rests ia a buck et of water. The fermentation commences in a day or two, and the carbonic acid escapes through the water. In ten cr fourteen days, the siphe'n may be removed, tho casks filled up, and tho bung driven in lightly; in a month, tightly. In mid summer the wine i3 drawn off into ano ther cask, and the lees cf tho .wine, with the pomace of tho grape, is U3ed to make brandy. The wine will be clear and pleasant to drink in a month or two after tho first fermentation ceases. Tho second fer: mentation occurs in the spring, about tho time of the blossoming cf the grapes ; this is but slight and it will bo merely4 necessary to loosen the bungs ; when itia over, the wine will be clear ia two or months, and safe to bottle, b:Jt that opera tion had better be deferred until Novem ber. And thi3 is the whole procos3 of making still wine the wine for general use ; and, being a natural product cf .tho grape, it ia more wholesome than any mixed or artificial wine, however showy and high-priced it maj be. Let the grapes bo well ripened; and press, casks and ail vessels perfectly clean,' and then keep the air from the new wine, by having the ca:ks constantly bung full, arid thero is no danger cf its spoiling. This is the whole secret. It 13 presumed that no one will go into wine farming largely at first ; but to tako the precaution to test, by the cultivation cf a few acre3, the capabilities cf the soil, position and climate, and tho kind cf grapes best suited to it."

Rosella, in Field Notes, gives the fol lowing cheap way to handle c!d k:;ivc3 and forks: Take those that require a hand!? oil in one piece first, black walnut makes beau tiful handles, split out your pieces just iho right size, burn a little hole in the endi or bore it, if it wont split ; then whil ? tho fork is heating, cut up a li .tie tow fine, and mix it ia with some powdered rc.?in; or some kind of cement, fill tho hole half 11 IJ 1: full and put ia the fork while and lay it by to cool. If you have no oil ivory handles for those that require two pieces, split out and smooth cfT some soft pieces of wood, and fasten them cn with rivets made of little bits cf wire, cr eho let the wire be long enough to go clear round the handle and file the round endi and edges smooth. The following is an txcelent rcceips for taking the stain3 out cf silver: Steep the silver in foap lye fcr tho space of four hours; then cover it ever with whiting, wet with vinegar, so that it may lie thick upon it, and dry it by a fire; after which rub off the whiting and pa3 it over with dry bran, and the spct3 will all disappear, but the silver will lock ex ceedingly bright. Avarice and vanity are the principal elements cf all evil. Fine furs should be kept in a cool p!ce. An experienced dealer will tell, iho mo ment he puts his hand cn a piece cf fur, if it has been lying in a warm dry at mosphere; it renders the fur harsh, dry and shabby, entirely destroying th-r rich smooth softness which it will have if kept in a cold room.
