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. ,

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.

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:

An angrv letter is much fiercer than an
angry speech. 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 ;

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 !

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

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. Sin can work just such
a change in you as it did in the beautiful
child whose picture was painted twice.
"Keep the heart with all diligence, for
out of it are the issues of life."

"Ifcere, That's a Lady!"
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.

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." R ural Register.

Take those that require a hand!? oil in

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

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.

Fine furs should be kept in a cool p!ce.
An experienced dealer will tell, iho mo

in a cold room. Lalfs .Yerzpcper.
