n6y- In a certain New England pai

p6y~ In certain New England par
isb, difficulty arose about the location
of the new meeting house ,and the church
was rent with the division. The pastor
at length preached melting sermon on
the subject of union, and the cougrega,
ton was dissolved in tears. The next
morning, Deacon Jones went over ear
ly to see Deacon White to make an earn
est effort for peace, and the following
ensued:
Deacon J-Deacon White, | havn'
slept wink all night-aud I've come
over to see if we chh't have peace OF
tue subject Of the meeting house W
must settle the difficulto.
Deacon W.-Well, | am very hap
py, to hear you talk SO, for to tell tn
truth, always thought you were littl'
set in your way.
Deacon Mot at all-and as proc
that L am not, I've come this morning
on purpose to see you. Now, deacon,
pshaw, we must settle this unhappy diff,
6culty, and there is but one way to do
it-you must give up, for | can't.

His homely but earnest act of polite
ness towards his child, had pleased the
Captain, and, though the youth knew it
not, was the cause Of his first promotion.
So that now the old man has retired
from business, Harry Wells, in fact, our
honest sailor, is one of the richest men
in the Crescent City, and he owes, per-
haps the greater part of his prosperity
to his tact and politeness in crossing the
street.

From I" sylvia"

What time came in the welcome spring,
The happy maiden looked abroad,
And saw her lover gayly fling
The fax athwart the sod.
Hither and thither the yellow seed
Young Leon sprinkled DER the plain.
As farmer to his fsathery breed
Full hands Of golden grain,
As Der the yielding mould he swayed,
He whistled to his measured tread
A happy tune; for he saw the maid
Spinning the future thread,
Or saw the shuttle in her loom
Fly like a flird from hand to hand;
And then his arms as at loom,
Swing wide Ger the land.
Hswondered what the woof would bs,
Or for the poor, or for the proud?
A bridal garment flutterlng free,
Or formal winding sbroud'

Reason why this Machine is Universally
Preferred over All Others.

/ Because it is the only Sewing Machine in
the world ever invented, so constructed as to
fully meet the demands of families for general
use.
2It is very simple and is Gever liable to get
out Of order.
8 Itmakes seam which will not rip, though
every third stitch is cut.
4 1t is not Shuttle Machine.
It sews with two needles, making any
length stitch desired.
Ii sews from two ordinary spoos, and
thus all trouble at winding thread is avoided;
while the same Machine can be adapted at
pleasure, 10y a mere change of spools, to all
varieties Of work.
z The same Machine runs silk or linen
thread, and common spool cotton, with equal
facility.
This Machine will sew in the sleeves of a
coat with the same ease and facility that it
sews a siraigh. seam.
This Machine can be run to make one
thousand five hundred stitches per minute.
10 The seams are as elastic as the most elas-
tic fabric 80 that it is free from all liability to
break in washing, ironing or otherwise.
IL The stitches made by this machine are
more beautiful than any other made either by
hand or machine.
The price of these Machines at Office in New
York, range from $50 to $50: an additional
charge of so only is made or each machine
owes New York prices AT office in Nashville, to
defray expenses of importation, &c, to Nash
vile. K. II. BROCKWAG, Sec'y.,

Prices OF those Machines range from
IS to $3.50. IVA ch 2o-u
