Patience, gentleman sir if sir ybu be. if madam, it is of no use to preach patience patjence, arid in proper lime; you will become acouainted with The PARTjiERs. Smith and Brown haa decided to connect themselves in business, lives of some country and astonish the na- town. with a store a laucKubo v ea n v. Uiirwjp metropolis. Leaarviil6 happened to be the place pitched upon, antL so rapidly was their migration effected, and the business of dnenins perforineoT, that, until they were ready for cus tomers, not more than half of the women with in ten miles of their stdre knev that such a thing was in contemplation. The Cedarville Universal Advertiser had the merit, for once, ol containing sometning ot wnicn the nni Verse. was not previou gossips of Cedarville Wi such a march had bee ly apprized j and the re near! v distracted - stolen tup on them! Thev fell in readtlv with-the -buioion of Old Pimento, at the old stj.nd, that, as the new. store 'sprung up like a mushroon, in a night, it would disappear too between two days.' Commence business without making six months preparatory ta k ! the thing was pre posterous and unprece ented. But they suc ceed 3d, nevertheless. The young women tiad become tired of purchasing shop worn commodities, and especially vwheti sold by a crusty old Benedict, and the - temptations of new goods and the new faces of two young achelonjr were j irresi stable. All the influ nceof the editor of the Universal Advertiser Was on the side of the new store,' for the 'tra der' at 1 he old one could not be pursuaded that in a town where there wasbut'one store, there was any need c f advertising. Even now, that there were two, he would not be provoked into a paper Har with the new com ers, wnose advertisements added some, ten dollars to ine annual i ser no inconsiderabl CDme of the Ad vert i- item, by the way. in the receipts 61 the vil editor. For this sum they were allow d a sauare. which. in4 the country, means a Awful was the chis ge or the paper, J by the new store ! Old Mr. i wuttieu in veuarviue Pimento stopped his paper, because he piked an independent press, anu ine. Advertiser-nad nad tne impu4 dence to publish Smith and Brown's adver4 lidements, to his manifest injury. Such is the general idea of newspaper independence subscribers wish to see an editor untram- meled, and therefore relieve him of their names, upon less grievous causes than that which induced Pimento to discontinue the Ce derville Universal Ad rertiser. The eld la-j dies sidca witn Mr. fimento, the youns ouesn belonged. to the other faction, and the men stood neutral, or moved as driven by wife, daughter, or wife inte nded. Such was the posture of things in tie town of Cedarville, the parties alternately going up and down, as Old Pimento sold ths best molasses, or the other house the best bargains, when affairs began to come upon the carpet more directly interesting to Smith & Brown, and therefore to the readers of our veritable history. ; Tne star of the young firm lad been some days on the ascendent, f After a. good day's work, both partners waited in the store, as if each had something to tell the other, with which it would not answer to t ust any walls but their own; . . j ; -. i,. I . Each made awkward work of his communi cation; but we shall omit the stammering prefape, and state only the substance of both their confessions,' which was that each had come to the conclusiar that when it was said it is not good for man to be alone,? partner ships in business were .not the associates deemed necessary. Though Satan is ever fond of rebuking sin, yet neither party could condemn the other foij the intended crime of matrimony, in the abstract ;but each thought his disapprobation of he other in the choice' ol an accomplice. 'Humph!' said Srai h, to himself j Brown is determined, then, to throw himself away on that lowbred j dowdy, She is as poor as sac is avaricious V 40- v - I j 'Well,' ! said Brown," with a shrug, ;mt. Smith may yoke himself for life to tpurse pride and expectations, if he chooses. Iis no business of I mine. And so they parted for the night. Mr - i - - I . : . ; i; .'

In dilating upon the square inch of cake with the' request for in sertion, Mr. Editor ground out the only orig inal articles which had appeared in his col umns, since six weeks before, Mr. Allen's boy. supplied a 'Narrow Escape,' by cutting bis finger with a case-knife. . -1 The effect of the announcement upon the inhabitants of Cedarville, was the breaking up, in a great measure, of the-party divisions. The old ladies were indignant that this news had burst upon the community, without their having had so much as a nibble of it in ad vance of the general prpmulgation : the unen gaged young ladies, each of whom had, se cretly,' and in her own mind appropriated one of the firm to herself, began to have a mani fest leaning to the Pimento party ; and the married and engaged young ladies, who stuck to the, firm in hopes ofbeing invited j; to their parties, were in the minority, Things began to look squally, when, as is often the case in emergencies, a something was found to stem the current, aha save the falling fortunes xf the house of Smith & j Bro wn. . Faster than the slow heels of the carrier boy circulated the Cedarville'.Universal Advertiser about the village, the intelligence flew orraHy, that Smith & Brown were 'giving a treat.' This at once formed a new accession to the store party, as every? man in a New England vil lage, in tlSr-, would drink, where liquor ran without "money, and without price; and eve ry boy would be on hand to eat the sugar from the bottom of the tumblers, suck jhe iody-sticks and long to be men that being as hear drinking as boys were permitted to go4 iheir elders sagely backing their owji exam ples, hy warning boys not to drink spirit. They manage these things better now-a-days. The editor gairied such credit by an impromp tu toast, concocted during all the night before, in - which he hoped the 'house of Smith oj; Brown would fare none the worse for having taken sleeping partners." Pimento, who found. his way into the store for the first Ime, the trade, if they did not reduce their spirit more.' upon reacning nis own store, ne put another gallon of alcohol into, each oljhis bar basks of water and alcohol, swept a pack of flies from his windows, and some of the dust off his shelves. : '' W ill they give a party I wonder?' Here the Cedarville Universal Advertiser could not forestall the. women, who are the exclu cive venders of this sort of news ; and the wo men soon got hold of circumstantial evidence, that at3mith's house something was in prep aration. Mrs. Smith had sent to one neigh bor for eight quarts of milk, and her 'helps' had borrowed another's hearts arid, rounds. Shall I get an invite?' was the next question but the worthy folk were kept but little while in suspense. The shop -boy of Smjih & Brown left printed 'invites' at evcry house in the village, not excepting those of the Pi-mento-ites, and that of Old Pimento; himself Business-like, these invitations were issued in the name of the firm. - ! -'; j , ' -j- It was over. Old, Pimento, wno had linger ed, the last of the guest, as if determined to do his .full 'share in eating out the substance of the young men, had at last taken his hat. Mr. and Mrs. Smith sat alone. My dear,' said the lady, 'I do not see why you would invite all that canaille, to our house-' -.'?-1 ' M ' !- 'Policy, Matilda.'-' 'I wish to beconie popu lar with the iCedarville people,' -i j 'Weill don't like to be bored to death.

'Mrs. Smith, I hope you have not so far for gotten my interest as to stand in the way of my business. The distant jingle of your fa ther's gold will not support us. i ji Mrs. Ann Matilda Smith sobbed hysterical ly. 1 M:?v'- -David, said Irs. Brown to her husband, as thev walked home, 'I am afraid I have don? you no credit to-night I always told yon I was unused to society.' f i f . Why, Rfry, I thought you succeeded to admiration with the villagers mothers , and daughters.' ; V "Oh, yes, and I have many pressing invi tations to visit them.1 But I am dreadfully a fraid of Mrs Smith. ! She came and sat by me to-night and said something about the Great Unknown. I didn't make any answer, and then she said that Waverly alone is e nough to set him up. What did she mean, David ? Is there to be another store in the village ? I'm sure I'm sorry if there is. I told her 1 did not know Mr. Waverly.' Brown gently explained her mistake to her. It was a bitter evening, in conclusion, for both partners one had to drive away his wife's hysterics with volatile salts and promi ses, of indulgence the other to console an intelligent, though uncultivated mind, for the lack of that information which one evening had convinced her was all-essential to her creditable appearance. On the "morrow, Mrs. Anq Matilda Smith went back to the house of her father, to re cover, as she said, from the effects of an ex cessive infliction, of j rusticity. She was not missed, except by her husband, for truth to tell, she did not win many hearts at 'the par ty.' Weeks passed, and the simple Mary Brown grew daily in the good1 graces of the dwellers in Cedarville.

That this country will, in a short time, without any fictitious aid of protection, sup-i ply its own people exclusively with manufac tured goods, there can be no doubt. Nor do, . we see an reason why we should be consid ered as erring in judgment when we pyk that it will become the manufacturing nation of the world. Our manufactures too v.iU rest on a more solid basis They will, be the result, not of a hot-bed forcing system, but cf a just and natural growth.

AMALGAMATION, The hill which was pending for some timo in the Massachusetts Legislature, to repeal the law against intermarriage between the white and black1 races, has recently passed both branches of that body, In the Houso tho vote stood, yeas 182, nays J 16 ; absent 53. Those interested in its final success need nov, entertain no fears, as the present Loco Foco, Governer is known to be a rank Abolitionist, 1 1 ' . Baltimore Patriot. From' the following, which wo find an tho New York Courier, it will he seen that tho colored ladies of Massachusetts do not regard the subject in so favorable a light, and havQ been anticipating fearful results ; ' 'The white lady abolitionists of Massachu setts, whoare so desirous of obtainingthe priv ilegeof intermarrying with negroes, are not going to have things all in their own way in that State not by. any means. The cables have made up their minds to have something tosay in the business themselves, and they are quite right. Mr. Gibbons, of Boston, re cently presented a petition tol)ie Legislature, signed by Eliza Bliss and twenty other color ed damsels and matrons, praying that tho Legislature will not repeal the intermarriage law. The petition stated, says a Boston pa per, that colored 'men, in such case would marry white women, and leave the petition ers destitute ot symphathy, and despairing cf matrimonial felicity; also; that colored men, even now, begin to slight their wives, whilo the unmarried beaux are making arrange ments to obtain while wives, to the injury ar.c discarafort ot colored damsels A Regular Yankee.
