To the Memory or Miss Mary Mafher.
Gone to the sleep which knows no mortal wak;nv
- Zone the shadows all too deep for light;
I'LL the bright morning, in its beauty breaking
Shines on the land wherein is no more nirhf
n1Sr.s are sui oeating-weary eyes are closing
Eartn ID still moving in its ceaseiess stir:
Nothing shail trouble her serene reposnp:
rasslon and calm are both alike for her
As the bright sun at final setting leayeth
light,''
30 ner remembrance on our pathway giveth
oniadlng radiance, stretching throug the night
ne. sun nath set with it's clear beams of kindness,
nut Its departing glories arch our way;
Bringing its light to all our mortal blindness
Pointing its shadows to eternal day.
Many have felt the magic of her presence,
Pure and serene where'er her lot was laid;
Striving to lead another's path of peasance
By the still waters, or the cool green shade,
Making her home in hearts go deeply tender,
As would have longed to spare her every strife
Now in their loneliness they can but blend her
With all the sweetest memories Of their life.
Perfect and pure some bright planet shining
On the fair brow of Heavens unwrinkled youth
Unto the darkness of earth's sad repining,
Bringing radiance from the sun of Truth
Patient for others when their patience failed them
Toiling for them, while toll for self was vain;
Turning the shafts of sorrow which assailed them
And in their pleasure losing all her pain.
II the rich glories which she shall inherit,
Hath not been given mortal to conceive;
we can but mourn in bitterness of spirit,
The dreary void her absence still must leave
Gone to the sleep which knows no earthly waking,
Which shSdes the light from every human brow;
We can but question, while our hearts are break
ing,
Heaven hath her presence-what is left us now?
Gone to the sleep which knows no mortal waking!
Death hath far deeper mysteries than life s
Love, which shall keep the weary heart from
aching,
Rest from the confiict-freedom from the strife;
Knowledge and beauty; truth in full perfection;
Peace which no earthly pain meier defer
This is the solace for our deep detection,
If tce have nothing-oh, rejoice for her!

AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY. = The Executive
Committee of this useful Society assembled at the
Tract-house on Monday last, Rev. DIR. Knox pre-
siding. Bishop Mcllvaine, Rev. DIR. Adams, Rev.
DIR. Vermilye, and Rev. T. S. Malcolm were ap-
pointed delegates to the London Religious Tract
Society at its ensuing anniversary.
Letters were read from numerous American
foreign missionaries, reporting the expenditure of
funds, requesting additional grants, &c. Rev. MIR.
Schneider writes from Aintab that evan gelical
knowledge is spreading throughout that region.
Rev. Mr. Gulick, who has just reached Ascen-
sion one of the Micronesian Islands, in the Pacific,
states the interesting fact that in that ssremote
of the earth, scarcely known ocivilizaton
ne finds the publications of the Tract Society on
the shelves Of some of the residents, which have
been procured from sailors and sea captains.
The receipts of the Society for January were
s 52, 129, of which S2l 1852 were donations. The
gratuitous issues since April have amounted to
$2S, 1874. Liberal donations for the liquidation of
the Society's debt encourage the hope that it will
ere long be cancelled.
It was determined to hold the next anniversary
in the Metropolitan Hall.-N. Y. Jour. Com. 23d

patents the first granted august IL, 1S5l-te second
April IL, lS52.-The only machine privileged to
use straight needle. Within short time it has
been awarded seven gold and silver medals at
Fairs in different States. In less than two years
the great reputation of this labor saving machine
has been established in this country and in Eu-
rope. What spinning machinery is to the old
spinning wheel, Singers Sewing Machine is to
the other modes of sewing. 1t has already tri.
umphed over inveterate prejudices arising from
the sale OF imperfect and worthless machines. Ii
has been introduced extensively into large manu-
featuring establishments, and into the hands of
individual operators. 1t sews every variety of ma
terlals, coarse or fine, CLOTH or LEATHER, with
marvellous rapidity and surprising strength and
beauty, performing the work fast as ten per-
sons, and much better than it be done by
hand. This machine is compact, ornamental,
durable, and is easily adjusted and operated Full
printed directions for using it are furnished with
each machine. The price, with all apparatus com
plete, is S 1875.
Some persons are endeavoring to sell Territorial
Rights for Sewing Machines which make a douhIe
tambour ravellng stitch with TWO NEEDLES and
orders are received for such machines to be fur
aished for 1925. These machines are not in form,
to be of any practical use. The two needles cut
and weaken the materials sewed, and they use
twice the quantity of silk required for good ma.
