The Song of the Sewing Machine.
by ). J.

The following beautiful lines are from the
pen of a gifted lady in Cincinnati, written
in a moment of inspiration, after having used
one of GROVER d BAKERS celebrated sewing
machines, in executing her family sewing,
and published in the "Cincinnati Enquirer
The new household domestic sings q pleasant
song:
l come from the realm of thought, ] come
Oil give me a welcome In every home;
For l bring in my trail a stranger-guest-
A friend to The weary-.'Domestic Rest"
And my iron hand has a gift for all
Who summon my aid in the Spring and Fall.
1 come, the "Child of Genius come;
And 10 what a treasure l bring to some.
To the weary housewife an hour from care
An "hour for Improvement" for thought, for
prayer
An @hour for repose"-I've thought it no
To pluck sucn rEArrHERs from the wings of
Time.
1 come, with a cheerful song / come,
And | hope ere long through the world to
roam,
Meath the sun of the Tropics III lift my
wing:
In the icy halls of the North I'll sing;
And the trumpet of Fame, from main to main.
The triumph shall sound of my usefal reign.
