(From the New Trk Herald) Prominent amon? tbe nirchanical triumphs of this most ingenious ase. common honesty compels us to no tice the Empire Sewins Machine, commended as justly strley perfection it.-elf Useful as cave been tbe va rious tewing machines, from time to time presented to tbe pnbiic, each oue of them has been enrsed with some rad.'c 1 Oefect, which detracts from general util ity. Warned by tbe experience of his predecessors, the inventor of the Erie Machine has produced an in strument, - combining all tbe advantages for which others are vauDted, and obviating every defect which can be attributed to them by lt roost fastidious critic. Tbe Empire Machine is a marvelotis combination of simplicity, ecor;emy aad perfect' worksbip, being dura ble, tree from liability t. get out oi order, noiseless and easy of operation. Its mechanical contrivance Is such as tosecure bUbiiity, freedom from accident, and accuracy as to workn;a:iti:p. l!y the use of tbe pat ented shiittleand Hraigut nee lie it mafew a ttitcb. which can neither rip nor ravel while, at tie same time, it can operate perfectly r.pon eve:y species cf material from leather to csmbrick,with threaps of cot ton, linen tr siik from the finest to the coarsest num ber. " . As the Empire Machine is gradually snpplantin? Its more antique rivals, no one ia want of a usefet instru ment of this discre tion, be he or she tailor, coaebma-. ke, di essuiaker or seamstress, can do otherwisl'tban secure ODe of these econmical and iEimitable ruaohines suited alike for fann !y ard manifaetnrins purposes. The office of the Empire MeTiurdtturin? Co. is at Xo. 63S Broadwoy, New Vork City, where they are now supplying these Ercplro Slachiucs at prices far below the real value of theiostruments.

The medium was a tall, thin, angular cadaverous individ ual, who looked as if, after getting up the frame, mture had been seized with a fit of economy, and neglected to put in the underpinning and plastering. The circle was mixed, being made up of el derly females, thim men, with a few pretty girls. Jones seated himself be tween two of the last, and all clasped hands around a tahle. Jones Eay3 it ias delightful. He squeezed .the little hands, and when an unusually Joud knock s arted the circle, the little hands" squeez ed Jones. Snifkins, who is so skeptical that his father don't believe him.wa? the fi s. to ask questions. "Where was I born ?" asked SnifF. "In the poor house." Sniff's turn-up-nose waxed red. "Correct," said Jones. . "How many children have we in fam ily?" "Nine." Here a dispute arose as to whether the spirit rapped eight or nine. So Sniff asked again : "How many children have I ?" 'One," was the reply "Probably correct again," remarked Jones. Here Mr. SnifTkins arose in a'wrath, tapped his beaver on with a loud bang :r;d retired. "The circle is not hormonious," said the medium, in a deep, sepulchral voicr. Jones thought it was as he pressed the little hands. "Let me ask a question," said a vin egary old lady. Is the spirit of my husband present ?" "He is " "Are you happy, John, without me'" 'Very happy.,' . "Where are yon ?" "In h 1." John's relict looked at ths medium. The medium smiled. He. looked as i he had the toothache. The circle laugh ed, whereupon John's relict seized the lamp and hurled it at the medium. It broke over his devoted head, and left the c rele in darkness. - Jones says a spirit ki.sad him. He tried to seize the spirit, and caught one of the pretty girta about the waist.whereupon there were scream?. In the meantime Jcr.es was aware of a furiou engagement cn his right. A light was produced, when it was found that John's relict had seizhd a veneralle Cob, mistaking him for the medium.

FOURTH OF JULY ORATION ! by "nus-ri-DO-fti Feller Citizens ! This is the day upon which the American hart sweels to about twice its natural proportions, and beats with twenty-seven times its usual rapidity ; when a man's clothes are tco small to hold hirn, and he wants no dra pery but the Stars and Stripes, wtea he would like to be able to foundle with cne hand the evergreen curls cf Main, and 10 toss with the other the golden sands of California, while he drank th9 health of the Goddess of. Liberty out pf Lake Erie, and laved his feet in the cooling waters of the Gulf ! Feller-h-h Citizens! Upon this glo rious day we recall the memorias of the band cf patriotic and devoted heroes, whose struggles through seven years of bloody and relentless war gave us Amer ican Independence. What, I ask, what sustained them through those lengthen ed years of darkness aad of blood ? What enabled them to endure hunger and co'.d, to make the most arduous aud and stupendious marches, and to perform prodigies of valor- upon the field with which the wcrld rang, covering their names, with glory tl rough all coming time ? I answer, "Roback's Stomach Bitters" The stirring scenes of the mighty rev olution are planted in vivid colors pefore my eyes to day. The Tea Party in the harbor of Boston. Was it the insignifi cant duty which England sought to im pose upon tea that moved those Boston ians so violently that they pcured an en- 1 1 ship's cargo into Bjstou harbor? ' No by no means."

They said green tea was good, but Roback's was letter J Then', too, the battle of Binder's Hil', fought regardless of 'he remonstrances "f tlJ.JVIr. and. Mrs,. .Bunker, who own ed the hill. What was it that enabled that little band of raw and hastily-collect ed rectui's to repnlse a greatly superior force of Biitsh regulars, veterans from the battle fields of Europe, thus winning imperishable renown for the flag of the infant Republic ? The answer come3 sweeping along upon the Eastern gale, from the very summit of Bunker Hi'J monument Roback's Stomach Bitters !

The usual practice among farmers is to let wheat stand, before it ts cut, until he straw is entirely changed from green to yellow, and the grain has become hard and nearly nr quite dry. Numerous ex periments have been made iu this coun ;ry, but more particularly in England, to determine at what period of ripening ii is best to cut wheat, having in view the greatest yield of grain and that of the bast quahtj. It is well known to those who have investigated the object, thai tbe ripening of tbe sced3 cone's'.s entire !y of certain chemical processes' which we cannot here attempt to explain, thai ;tre of importance to be considered in or der to make the most of the crop after it has been grown. The immature grain of wheat, in ius early stage, is found to be filled with a milky fluid, which gra.l u illy changes in consistence, from this milky stale, to oae more firm aad solid. These experiments have been institu ted to-determine with accuracy at w&at perioJ of this change the grain should be harvested to secure the gratest advanta ges. The unanimous opinion appears to pet that if grain is cut seen after the straw telow the head ha3 turned yellow, while the lower part of stem is still green, and the seed yet remains in a s -ft and doughey state, the grain will w igh more to the bushel and yield a grater amount from a given space of grcnad, that more and better flour is made from it, and where the straw is to be fed to stock it is rellished better end is more nutritious than if the grain was allowed to stand until it became fully ripe. These experiments have been so fre quently made and with such uniform re sults, that we feel unwilling to let the coming harvest pass without reminding our readers of the fact. A very careful series cf experiments syefe made cf ihil character, some years since, in Yorksh ire, England, by Mr.- John Hannara, and he sums Dp the loss by shelling,' and in the weight and quality cf the grain, fram letting it stand until fully ripe, equal to S6 per acre; this sum, or even half of it, should not be lest sirjaf of by the farmer. Volvxan's Rural World. Loiers In a Fix. Night before last, as ths rr.ca r:re ct2? the hill and treg-tops, giiiirg the ;ir'2.i of our beautiful city with her sllrtr rays; there might have been upoil thu roof cf an Egyptian cottae which il flat, and covered with pure whiia grav els and pitch, a couple cf bverJ s:i:dJ, Ci j)V,r twj'v c --cure' 3- sun during the day Lai teen very'wa.v nd thus they met to spend ths foetb hmrscf twilight, enjoying the plsls breeze that floated up from the magso-i lia garden beneath. Seated nsar ezchj other, the lovers sat; with cne am h3 encircled the waist cf the beautiful cre tare at his side. "Her little hand lay gently, e'eufl. dingly in his and all passed quietly an4 loving untill the bell tolled the midnight hour. . . The telling on the bell reminded thert that "Tired nature's sweet restorer, bal my sleep," was requisite for bvers at well as others. Still seated near each other the plighted vows were again an4 again exchanged, aud sealed with kisssj, like. "Liken sweetness long drawn out." At length, after many vain attempts ta severe the; a pleasant pleasurei, the traa-i sported "lovyers" found that they werq bound to each other by mora sticking bonds than lovers, vows. The hot sua had melted the pitch, and after titling so lorj and the night air having ccoled the res inous matter, they found they were both, "stuck fast." Tha young gentlemen firs; attempted to disengage himself, -but found, like aunt Jemima's plaster, thi more you try to pull it off the tighter it sticks the faster." The young lady theq attempted to get up, which she did, rnp nus the skirt of her.drSi3 and all her un derclothes as far as the "tilters." Ia this plight she tried U relieve her disconso lated partner, but it was cf no use ha couldn't come. After some parley, ha came to the conclusion he would managa it by slipping out of his pant3. Accor dingly he asked of his companion if sb.3 could lend him a pair of pant until coulJ go homo.. hji;- rV would do if they were not tco long, with; this information he slipped eff his boots and loosing his suspenders, drew himself out of his pants as easily as possible, and the disconsolate couple took themselves down stairs In a very blnshing manner, and looking very much like our first fa j! ents when they discovered that they were human. The lady procured, a3 quietly as possible, a pair cf her father's pan$, which were run inio pretty quick, and the A&jnh decamped, with his paat3 rolled up about six inches. The joke was too cood to be kept ; bv little and little it leaked cut, until the truth had tqr come to exculpate the happy Innocents. .Memphis Argu3 A friend in Raleigh sends us a copy of the North Corlina Standard, frotr which we clip the following conments; on the ill-bestowed sympathy ia irjg South for Jeff- Davis. It is the plainest talk of the right sort which we have seenj in any Southern paper sines the commen cement of the Rebellion. We observe that a good deal of sic!;y sentimentality is being indulged over the f .ct that Mr, Jefferson Dav.s was tempo? ranly placed in irons, when he was im prisoued last May at Fortress Monroe. It is charged that Mr. Secretary Stantua had this done, and he is denounced by the secession press as haying committee; a great outrage on the Southern people, and against humanity, This is an indi rect blow at the President, for Mr. Stan ton represented the President ia that, a in all otner matters. It was hard for Mr. Davis u b ironed, bit how many thousand cf pojr cnscroj ptsdid he cause to be put in irons 1 toj be shot? to ba tortured? to be hunted like partridges in the gorges of the mou" tain3 f to be torn from their weep1 wives and child em, while they were forced into a war they abhered, and in which success was known to be imposs? ible ? God is just. Sin is punished everj m this world. Many cf these conscripts were better men morally than Mr. Divi?t and their 'families, poor thou?h they were, as dear to them as the family of Mr. Davis wa3 to him. We never shal forget the feeling of our Uma pecplj in this city, whan for twelve long months before the war closed, the daily spectacle; oa our main street rr that cf marching conscripts, with heads bowed, with iron and ropes on their limbs, cn their way tq Camp Holmes, and thence to deo.h cq the battlefield or in hospital, Our Union people were obliged taloo'4 on in silence. One word even cf cocdern? nation would have brought the rope cr the mob on them. Bji they are nar free, and though under the tan cf the State administration (which is really no mere loyal than the Vance administration) that aided in these things) they ran q least say what they please. ' If we were anxious to se2 Mr. TJavisi ejected, cr ifTe desired tQ add to hU punishment, vre should rather encourage than deprecate these manifestations 0? sympathy in his behalf. Bji every eff or to bring the government into disgrai'a on hts account will only make his dear more shure and terrible. -, Tho e whocf dulge this sentimentality, ftv who; t braiding the government whc-v.'; ts his' account, are therefcrs reii,!-, wcrt enemies.
