What hero from the buttln strife,
With palms of victory crowned,
Fame's clarion music in his ear,
From eartl's remotcst bound
What ruler DER q nations love,
Inipajcsty sublime,
The first the greatest in the realm
A King in freedoms cline,
Returns to rural haunts TO watch
His ripcning wheat fields wave,
blessed gladness in his heart
That glory never gave.
Who mid his acres broad and green,
Where plough shares break the sod
Prefers in sylvan tolls TO walk,
With nature and with God?
There was but cne who thus retired
From conqucst's power and pride,
For which ambition hath so oft
In madness striven and died,
There was but one Dost ask his name
Meath fair Virginil's sky

HEALTHFULNESs OF APPLEs-There ii
scarcely an article of vegetable food, sa&
Halls journal of Health more universally
loved, than the apple. Why every farmer in
the nation has not an apple orchard, where
the trees will grow at all, is one of the mys-
teries. Let every family lay in from two to
ten or moro barrels, and it will be to then
the most economical Investment in the whole
range of culinaries. A raw, mellow apple is
dlgested In an hour and half, while boiled
cabbage reqniresfy hours. The most healthy
dessert which can be placed on table, is a
baked apple. If taken freely at breakfast,
with coarse bread and butter, without meat or
flesh of any kind, it has an admirable effect
on the general system, often removes consti-
patton, correcting acidtics, and cooling off
febrlie conditions more cffectually than the
most approved medicines. If families could
be induced to substitute the applc-sound,
ripe and luscious-for the pies cakes. can
dies, s@eetmeats with which their children
are too often indiscreetly stuffed, there would
be diminution in the sum total of doctors
bills in single year, sufficient to lay in
stock of this delicious fruit for whole sea-
son'suse

The latter company employs from four to five
hundred workmen. Wheeler & Wilson's i'm
mense mandatory occupies nearly four acres,
at Bridgeport, Conn, embracing what was
formerly the great Jerome clock establishment,
which clicked" away the fortunes Of Barnum.
just at the present time, as is usual with
most kinds of business in the winter months
the sales of sewing m chimes are rather light.
er, and some of the large shops have dismissed
temporarily part of their help, or are working
on short time. But all are making arrange
ments to open business in the spring with in
creased force and energy.
AS all parties manufacturing sewing ma
chimes are obliged to pay Mr.. Howe fee for
each machine sold, and are also compelled to
make quarterly returns to him, stating under
cath the number sold, his books give correct
statement OF the actual number Of machines
sold by the different manufacturers From
this reliable source we have obtained the fol-
lowing statistics, showing the number of sew.
ing machines reported as disposed of during
the past seven years, ending with November,
1889 -

The Wheeler & Wilson machine are excus.
lively of the family pattern, adapted also to the
manufacture of all cloth ftbrics while all the
hers m mufacture extensively heavy ma
chine for lea her ami heavy manufacturing
purposes, as well as some of the family pat
fern.
1t will be seen from the above statistics that
there have been sold during the past seven
years, prior TO Nov. l, 1859 more than $4,000
sewing machines, and that nearly one halt OF
this number were sole during the year 1859
alone. Notwithstanding their sales have been
so extensive, the demand increases as the
knowledge of their real value becomes known
The greatest and widest usefulness of this in
vention seems to have but just commenced.
During the year 1853 only 25O9 of these ma
cclinrs were disposed Of yet six years
later upwards Of $4,000, or nearly twenty
times as many, were sold in one year.
The tribute paid to Mr.. Howe is arranged
upon what is termed sliding scale" so that
the fee for each ma, hine diminis les in proper
ton as the number sod for the year increases.
In 1858, Wheeler & Wilson paid fee of about
Sl3 for each machine, but, in accordance with
tins scale, they ndw pay only So each. Sup
posing Mr. Howe to re Give fees fom elch
manufacturer at this lowest rate, the income
from his patent for 1859 would be about S143,-
000-a comic table salary, to say the least :;
but it has been attained by wears of natient
toing and rreat expense.
