SEWING MACHINE COMPANY,
Having greatly increased their facilities for manuactur
ing their CELEBEArED FAMILY MACHINES, with all the
cent improvements, have reduced their prices and offer
for sale
A NEW STYLE MACHINE,
PRICE $50.
1t is longer questioned that these Machines the
best in use for family sewing. They
HEM FELL, GATHER AND STITCH
in the most superior manner and are the only machines
in the market that well and simply made that they
may be sent into families with other instructions than
contained in circular which accompanies each
chine, and from which
CHILD TEN YEARS
may readily learn how to them, and keep them in
der. They make upwards of
FIFTEEN HUNDRED STITCHES A MINUTE,
and will do the sewing of family cheaper than
stress can do it, if she works at the rate of
ONE CENT AN HOUR.
Is there husband, father or brother in the United
States who would permit the drudgery of hand sewing
il his family when a GROVER BAKER MACHINE will do
it better expedtiousy and cheaper than possb
ly be done by hand?

il any one shuts up Il donkey in the same en-
closure with half dozen horses OF the finest
blood, and the party escapes it is inialhbly
the poor donkey that has led the way. 1t is
he alone that penetrated the secret of the

KEEP SOME OBJEcT IN VIEw.-Every man,
rich or poor, ought to have some absorbing.
purpose, some active engagement, to which
his main energies are devoted. Not enjoy
ment but duty, daily, must be the aim of each
life. No man has right to live upon this
fair earth, to breathe its air, to consume its
food, to enjoy its beauties, producing moth
ing in return. He has no right to enjoy the
blessings of civilization, of society, and of
civil liberty, without contributing earnest and
self-denying labor of head and hand to the
welfare of mankind. Certainly no man can
be truly religious who makes qualification, as
distinct from selfdenying exertion, the great
object of life, and the idler puts pleasure ex-
actly in the place of duty.

H- In reply to the personal assault of
Johnson upon Bell in the Senate few days
ago, the latter used some language which, if
johnson has any sensibilty, must have caused
him to vince terribly under the inHiction.-
Johnson had been boasting over the defeat
of Bell, and taunting him with the close Of
his Senatorial career, and his death as a poll
tican:
III would rather" said Mr.. Bell in reply,
abe myself dead than that man Johnson]
living" II may be dead, politically
speaking; but that is the position of honor
when the times turn up such members of the
Senate as he [Johnson1 is."

WIsK's INDIANA LETTER.-The Cincinnati
Gazette has the following notice of Governor
Wise's late letter to the Douglas Democrats
OF Indiana:
Gov. Wise wrote letter-very brief fo,
him-to the Anti Lecomptonites Of Indiana,
on the occasion Of their meeting of the 22d
inst. He was not able to attend. Having
'nvited the Nation Of the United States of
America to be present" at the unveiling of
the Washington statue on that day, he must
necessarily be there to do the honors. He
declares that he sympathlses with the objects
of the Indianapolis meeting, "with unspeaka-
bic fervor." Not having time to 60 over the
whole ground again, he encloses to them his
