REASONABLE PRICES,
And rHh CaqNcsiioacd Right
Having terminated our legal controversy
with Elias Howe, Jr, and procured his full
license to use his invention, there is not the
slightest claim that our machines infringe
any other patent
The right to use the machines which we
'avc sold, and shall hereafter sell, is unqucs-
tionablc.
We own ten distinct patents on Sewing Ma
chimes, covering all the nice points of the in
vcntion, and all the machines of other manu-
Glcturcrs infringe one or more of them. Our
patent securing the spring whereby the cloth
&c, is held to the feeding apparatus by a
Welding pressure, is infrngcd hy All the ma
chimes now offered in the market. Those who
buy the Inferior and piratical machines, are
hereby distinctly apprised that we shall com
pei them to pay MS for the privilege of using
them. Our legal rights will henccforth be
rigidlv enforced.
THE IMMENSE SUPERIORITY
of Singers Sewing Machines has been com
plct"ly established. They are of universal
application-tle same machine doing all
kinds Of work, and doing it perfectly. They
are not only superior in contrivance, bat I'M
equalcd in mechanical finish. They per-
form all work required, and continue to do it
without getting ont of order. We desire to
call attention part 'cularly to our new
Machines to Sew with Single Thread,
which by ample trials have been proved SUI
pcrior TO all Others for stitching linen and all
very thin fabrics-also for sewing leather ei-
thcr with waXed thread or sik-and for
quilting Innings. We are also prepared to
exhibit and sell cmhroidering machines, pro-
ducing an entirely new and very beautiful
result. Machines of extra size, both shuttle
and single thread, may be had for n small
difference in price. These are found TO be
very popular. Machines for hat binding
stitching carpet-bag handles, and any other
peculiar work, will be supplied at short no
tice.
Machine Needles silk Twist on spools,
Three Cord Linen Thread, and all other ar
ticles used with Sewing Machines always on
hand and for sale at all our offices.

An Ode to all Mankind.
BY J. c. YOUNG, NJ. D.

All We who suffer, ponder whilst you read,
As tits your case, alone not mine, plead.
Ye who have felt, or feel them, know the pangs
Mans doomed to bear, when the remorseless fangs
OF dire disease is fasten'd in his SOUL
When he would seek the dagger or the BOWL,
To end his misery by the potent spell
OF deadly poison, or the polished STEEL
Ye who have wrthed and groand from night to morn,
Cursng the hour that ever ye were born!
Seeking your pillow thinking to find ease,
Then wildly rushing forth to court the breeze,
Hoping 'twould uuench the flames that madly burn'd
In ev'ry vein, as if your blood were turnd
To molten lava
To him who hath felt this,
need not speak, as he knows what it is.
But such as only feel the incipient spark,
Should read this o'er, and ev'ry sentence mark!
Upon the tablets of their memory,
As none may tell how he II tomorrow be.
But all should know, in dark aflictiOns hour,
Where to apply to one who has the power
To their pain, so prompt. they'd think my hand
Must surely grasp Necromancers wand,
Like some good Genii of the olden time,
Whose ev'ry act bespoke his power sublime.
Within this eity-throughout all the State,
In ev'ry town and hamlet small or great,
Some can be found who know the power WELD.
Having tried it-know it was to the n shield
Stronger than that which Achilles of yore,
Upon Scamander's banks, in battle bore.
They know it savd them from the blush of shame,
Preserved their health, and dearer far their name
For who'd confess the pain that spoiled his rest
Sprang from source impure, to say the least.
Ye suffering thousands who may read this oer,
REMEMBER, ALONE can you restore
To health and usefulness.
That you may know
I have the means and power for doing so,
| here will state. Let each note what say
My motto always is-NO CURE NO PAY
I'm found with ease, my names on ev'ry tongue.
The sufi 'rers' friend, and yours too

The steel Plow.

One Of the greatest improvements ever
made in agricultural implements, especi-
ally for the. Western States, was the adop-
ton Of the polished steel mold board for
the plow, instead Of the old cast and
wrought-iron mold boards. The plow-
ing Of rich loan lands used to be q sad
trial to the patience of the farmers Of
Illinois and Indiana, owing to the soil
clogging on the mold boards of their
plows. But plowing the rich prairie
lands with the steel mold board plow, in
stead of being one Of the most trying
and troublesome operations for the farmer,
is one of the easiest and most pleasant.
Such plows turn over the soil smoothly
and freely, and with an ease to the cattle
of about fifty per cent. We perceive, by
a number of our Western exchanges, that
there are quite number of claimants for
this improvement, butwe have been given
to understand that the inventor is II. 81.

such plow made for his own use nearly

experiment has saved millions of dollars
