It is stated in the "Plough Boy/' an ^ fljfricurtiiral paper recently commenced * in South Carolina, that if a small piece of sulphur is thrown on the fire every day rtbe bacon is smoking, it will effectually ^ prevent skippers and bugs from entering.

Far. Registrr. 1 t Whitney's Cotton Gin seems likely to i ' he superceded by a new machine for I 1 cleaning cotton and wool, which appears f to have been introduced with success at I , XiUVclli J/uss. The Courier of that < place gives the following a -count of it. t ? ... , : nmtri The machine nns neen iiivcihuj mm cj patented by W. W. Culvert, of Chelmsford, and Alonso Crane, of this cily. It je consists of u common feed apron from I which the cotton passes through the rol- j lers and thence taken by a common pick- i cr and thrown info comb-toeth arranged i on a solid iron cylinder, and thence is la- i ken forward under a revo'ving floated : wheel guard. The fibres of cotton are 1 therv doffed from the combteeiii by re- i volving brushes, and lurned out from all > foreign substances, The secret of the r success of this machine in cleansing col- r ton, lies in the ingenious arrangement of \ o ^ t j the floated wheel guard, in conncciion t j with the comb-tceth. i The advantages of machine over a Whitney's cotton gin, may be easily seen. The latter has been in u*o successfully ever since its invention, but docs not j leave the cotton perfectly clean, and t injures the staple in some degree. With I this machine, there is no chance for for- t eign substance to pass through ; and the r operation of it shows that the rotten is I j much better cleansed by it an I with for \ less injury to (lie ^tapiv. Even cotton c waste, no matter how much dirt it con I twins in ?v t>e perfectly cleaned and ren- i dere 1 Hi foi use. The inventors have already taken out ( patents tor their machine in Scotland, p England and her colonies. One^of the a inventors is now in Europe, with two of s the icachmcs, which are now p*ob:ib!v v m operation at Leedt or Manchester.? t This machine will thus be brought to the t notice of manufacturers in Europe, and n if they examine into its operation, they n cannot out feel satisfied that it is to their b interest to adopt it. It is intended to 4j take the place of Whitney'a cotton gin, ,, which I.as gained the inventor so much n fame and been so useful to the world, and b with all the marked advantages it posses, ses over that machine it must necessarily ? do so. From its operation, every one r must feel satisfied (hat it is a far better ? machine than Wliitne}'s. i The new machine has been in success- a fill operation at the mill of lire Lowell a Company for six months, and has been ^ perfectly successful. From rough estimates, it lias been ascertained that a tlmce foot machine of this description, w ill gin t ikrti.coinl r.% hundred lbs. t iJIUJii u.?t uiwinuiMi ?'? in?vv>? of cotton |)cr day, leaving the cotton quite li I clean, and without any injury to the ?i staple. It has been used jiImj tor clean. (. ing wool of hurrs and other foreign sub- t stances, and has operated with perfect v jiii e cess.

Some may thin it would be more appropriate to give fi your funning paper the signs of a go< husband-r/kzn. but lot I hern remember tin these sign*" are to be hung up in ti Ladies Department," as a Rowland f< your Oliver ip a late number. Betsvet a good husband and a good husband nu there is an obvious distinction. A m.i may be a good husbandman, or conce 9 ; avaricious, ignorant, and ill.tempore J j husband?-one who?e great delight' ia- to 11 ? bullV" his children and hoard his cash !" s But no man can at once be a bad lather . and a good husband, for ignorant or cruel 9 treatment of children implies it hare (lise regard of the feelings of the wrlc.-^My - promise to indicate tho signs "of a good i husband extends only to the relationship i established by marriage between the t groom and his bride ; and the unreasont ableness of expecting her to make a good i housewife, as described in your paper of a * ate date, if her aim and efforts to keep / all things in order are not encouraged 3 and sustained by him. Let us take Inrri np, then, from the l rising of the sun to the going down thereIn the first place, then, I hold it to be t out of the question that n good husband - j should be a late sleeper ! Can any one t i irnairino any habit moro unmanly, not to e say unclean, than to see a full-grown * man lying snoring in bed, to "dumb forgettulncss a prey," long after 44 the glori oils king of day" has risen in the east? Such an example of improvidence and sloth is unseemly in itself; and yet more j pernicious irt its effects Upon all around * | hi.n. As when tire 44 cut's away the rfiice 1 do plav," so servants are quick rn learn* r ing to take advantage of the slothful ways ' of their master, and with late rising and ' laggnrd servants, how can the best housewife, even i\Jrs. Glass herself, have her J house made clean and all things kept do' cent and in good order?" No, sir, he '? who rises late has to run after his business f all day, and can scarcely overtake it at night, as Poor Richard say.?;, end even * were the habit of late rising in the hus^ ^ band reconcilable with anyj?Gt notion of ,r Health or of economy in other countries, * in ours, where property is so often divided * and where every man, therefore, roust Ire b the architect of his own fortune, there are * few, if any in whom it is not absolutely ' culpable to lie abed after sunrise. Not only is early rising then, a sign of a good husband, in a degree to ronJor it an absolute and indispensable virtue, but if ha would have for his <Vvn gratification a nice breakfast, in good season, he will lake care to have hi3 house servant up, jnd doing at early dawn. He will so systematize matters that the cOok and washerwoman shall have always nt hand a supplyof g/>6d wood and water for kitchen and lauriclfv, not leaving them, as too L..

Trw? fashion and texture of these may; in - my, j judgment, he set down as matters of the ^ least importance. Only let hhn keep his a head combed, his heard close, and his per son and garment* in immediate contact 1 therewith always clean, and all the rest maybe of " leal tier or prunella" for me. v To extend the sketch of his homaly and ^ ; practical duties, on the observance of ,j J which he must depend for that great Mas? sing, a good hnrixewrfe, they may alt . more easily comprehended by asking ourj selves what is expected of her. Is it a clean house from garret to cellar? then let him provide her with good servants, inw dustrious and docile, with gm>d brooms c and brush s. water convenient and abun I dint, and what is too often not to be a ! found, n good strong scraper nT every iu I - % tm out-door, for iho feet of all who enter n j thereat, that the snow, and mud, and 3 j dirt which arc brought in, may be left j, ; outside the house. ~ If it ho his pleasure to uee himself ro. ... fleeted by his shining brasses, let him not (. grudge n lip's worth of rotten stone to e polish them; though for my part I would r banish brasses and nil other costly and jf superfluous furniluie, besides first cost, j requires daily labor to keep it in order, h j without contributing any thing tu our l0 ' real comfort; and the money saved in this *s 1 item should he expanded in additions Ui e j the family library.
