fully meet the demands of families for general
use.
. It is very simple and is Gcver liable to get

every third stitch is cut.
4 1t is not Shuttle Machine.
8 1t sews with two needles, making any
length stitch desired
6 IL sews from two ordinary spools, and
thus all trouble at winding thread is avoided;
while the same Machine can be adapted at
pleasure, by a mere change of spools, to all
varieties Of work.
The same M3chine runs silk or linen
thread, and common spool cotton, with equal
facility.
This Machine will sew in the sleeves OF

sews a straight seam.
This Machine can be run TO make one
thousand FIVE hundred stitches per minute.

Termination and Fraud.

A moral of the late defalcatiOn IN the ST
Nicholas Hotel is that more vigilant care should
he exercised over an establishment by the pro-
n~riators. 1t would be well if such a lesson
ceuld take effect in private households. The
imnrudence and actual sin of exposing 10
temptation those whose principles are not
strongly rooted enough to resist it under all
circumstances is far greater than some may
suppose. who even take credit to themselves
for the unbounded confidence which is often
shown to be misplaced. We once saw a lady
stnfF hank notes in a drawer that was left un-
locked, and asked if she did not fear that her
servant might one day appropriate to her W
use what she knew would not Prooaoly pc
missed, Her answer Was--"Not at all; would
not hire a girl whom | could not respect, or
who could be guilty Of taking what did not
belong to her." A few months afterwards the
Iadv found the trusted damsel had stolen a
| LARGE amount; and she had only her W want
| of caution to blame for the loss. She had ire"
parably injured the girl, by placing temptation
in her way. In a Southern city a friend OF
ours sent a faVorite man>servant one day TO
| her slore,room. He manifested some emotion
on his return, and earnestly entreated her never
again to put her keys in his hand, or those Of
another servant, pathetically describing his
coyetous and %envious feelings at sight of ''de
| fine hams and sides Of bacon dat nobody I'D
miss one out ov--and my wife and little nig~
gers wanting 'em at home" One who knew
human nature in all its springs taught US the
prayer--'"Lead US not into temptation"
If any man thinks himself beyond the dam
ger of falling, let him reflect if he has never
committed, or been on the verge of committing,
| those small frauds almost daily %practIced IN all
processes of the business of life; those "hieh
are too petty to be noticed by the law oy
some considered justifable, but when lnSolEe
a sacrifice of right, a departure from st!les
honesty, a lack of that strong ana sIerilhg
principle which could preserve from evil amidst
greater inducements. In buying or SeIIlng mas
no advantage ever been taken Of the ignorance
or negligence of the other party. Has a small
debt, which could easily have been pain, never
been allowed to slide into oblivion. The OPP
portunities occur every d~ay--almost every hour
for strengthening the habit of rectItude and
integrity by practjcing seIfdenial on a small
scale.--fN N. Y. Express.
