g FOLTS & OAKES.
Good IIi.mor.—Nothing is better cal-
culated to promote health nnd longevity,
than good hiinior. The wicked shall not
lire out half their days. As a sour, crab
bed disposition is not only a great misfor-
tune to its possessor, but is a curse to ail
-with whom it comes in contact: It is a
wise provision of nature thai the existence
of those afflicted with it is generally brief.
Anger disturbs digestion, and lite fever
quickens the circulation of the blood, en-
feebling the constitution, and prematurely
wearing out the machinery of life. Edi-
tors, who have more, perhaps, thaú other
people, to excite their angry passions, gen-
erally die young.
But even in lhat profession, thankless as
it is, an occasional philosopher makes his
appearance, whose equanimity nothing can
disturb, who looks with equal good humor
upon his slanders or the praises of his co-
teinporaries, who can laugh over a list of
delinquent subscribers, and who, pursuing
the even tenor of his way, pleased with
himself, his business and all mankind, at-
tains a happy and cheerful old age.
So in all avoeation.3. Love, charity,
good will and good humor promote hap-
piness and health ; whilst hatred, suspicion,
malice, ill will and ill nature, as surely lead
to wretchedness disease and death.— Vic-
toria Advocate.
A New Sewin&'Machisb.—Whilst in
Port Lavaca, we were shown the model of
a new sewing machine lately invented by
a citizen of that town, Mr. Singer, and
brother to the renowned Singer who is the
inventor of asimilar machine. The new
invention of the gentleman of Port Lavaca,
however, is bound to supercede all others
— from the simple fact that it combines
four very important and essential requisites.
Tbe first is, its'great cheapness—the sec-
ond, its extreme simplicity—the third, tbat
it can do all manner of sewing—and the
fourth, it is not «is liable to get out of order
as the other sowing machines, and when it
does,any one possessing the least mechani-
cal gonitis, can right it. The inventor has
applied for a patent, and also has an estab-
lishment in New Orleans engaged in
manufacturing them, which he will be
ready to dispose of in a few weeks. lie
also designs visiting Gonzales soon, when
those desiring to procure one of the most
perfect machines of tbe kind extant; will
have an opportunity of doingso. No fam-
ily should bo without one; for, as a
cotemporary truly observes " there is not
an invention of this inventive age which
honors American genius more than the
Sewing Machine," It not only relieves the
female sex from the health destroying toil
of continuous stiehing, but it affords them
time for out-door exercise and selFim-
prorement, of which they have, to a de-
plorable extent, deprived themselves.—Gon-
zales Inquirer.
From some canse or other, weddings
are very bad for the eyes. The moment
the knot in tied the bridesmaid, two aunts
and a mother, rush into a halt or bedroom,
and hare a good cry for hours together.
"Why a poor devil's promise to pay a young
woman's board bill should operate thus on
the finer feelings of nature puzzles ns to
divine.

March 30, 1P58 7? Houston, Tesas
FROM its commencement, this Journal has
been conservative in principle, national in
character, and single in its great object of ele-
vating the industrial employments - Agriculture,
Manufacturing and the Mechanic Arts.
Regarding Agriculture as the corncr stone of
national prosperity, we have sought to advance
its interest, by an earnest advocacy of the far
mors' rights, by encouraging a just, self culture
as the true means of elevating his position, and
by diffusing the best information for the manage-
ment of the farm, the garden, the stock, the
dairy, and whatever pertains to rural economy
and thrift.
But deeming Agriculture flourishes best, and
reaps its richest rewards, in dose proximitv with
the Mechanic Arts, we have devoted to these a
portion of our space, condensing information of
great value to the Mechanic, and of nearly
eqnal value to the farmer, because more or less
diréctly r.onnectcd with his emp'ovment. Our
motto is Onward, not only in farming, but with
whatever gives the farmer a quick return and a
fair pricc for his prodoce; and this the cultiva-
tion of the Mechanic Arts will most certainly
accomplish.
With these principles always paramount, we
have ever maintained a high moral position,
avoiding everything offensive to good taste, as
also everything sectarian, or bearing npon partv
politics, or sectional feelings or interests, thus
making our work a fit family visitor for all part
of the country, and securing for it a selecter and
wider patronage tVjan often happens to journals
of the kind.
The Plough, Loom and Anvil is published
Monthly, each Number containing 64 pages of
reading matter, and an advertising supplement
making in all from 80 to 90 p?gcs, printed with
new type, on fine paper, and challenging com-
parison wub any other publication. Price to
single subscribers, §2 a j'ear, to clubs of four or
more. §1 50 ; to single subscriber, six months,
one dollar.
There art two ways of sustaining Periodicals:
one by a high price, witb few subscribers; the
other at a low price, with many subscribers. We
have chosen the latter, because we had rather
speak evcrv month to 20,000 families than to
5.000. Specimen Numbers sent to order, gra-
tuitously.
Pre.viums.—For a clnbof four or more, "Tie
Progressive Farmer" an octavo volume, worth
75 cents. For a club of five or seven, "T/it
Farmer,'' a quarto volumo, worth j|(j. For a
club of eight or more, a bound volume of ihe
Plough, Loom and Anvil, richly worth $2, wiil
be sent by return mail, to persons forwardin
money for clubs.
Reader, look at our prices, and send us 2 if
you want the cheapest publication; or if you
want it cheaper than the cheapest, join with
three or more of your neighbors, and send us one
dollar an4 fitly cents each; or, if yon choose,
you c n cneloso us one dollar for six months.
