FAMILY SEWING MACHINE

Now in use irrespective of Price.
We ask attention to the following points OF
excellence in WEST q Wilson's Machine.
LIST. It's simplicity, and the directness with
which the power is communicated to the needles.
This is a great dosideratuIn andin this we claim
a decided superiority over all other machines.
3D. The needle and needle bar are both
straight and the motion direct the needle bar
is attached to n small wheel driven by n larger
one, instead Of to the long arm Of lever, as in
most machines, with power upon the short one.
The latter arrangement necessarily makes the
motion of the needle both circular and weak,
while the former gives strength and directness.
Sd. The great power and diroctness of the
motion enables us TO sew all fabrics, from gauze
to four thicknesses of leather, with almost equal
ease, and the Machine can be made to run,
without changing needle or thread through ali
the different thicknesses, from sheet Of paper
to heavy leather and back and forth without
dropping stitch or breaking n thread. We
know Of no other family machine of equal ca
pacity.
4th. 1t uses silk, cotton or linen thread from
the original spools; unlike most machines, il
will permit the scam to be turned at right an
giles at its highest speed; il has much more room
than any other family machine for passing goods
through, thus allowing to pass freely the heavi-
est garments, bed-quilts, &C.. and it will turn up
readily upon hinges attached to the stand, tho
this is seldom necessary, as both tensions are
regulated from above. 1 ~.
9Th. The Machine will do a greater variety
of work than can be done by any other stitch.
1t will HEM, GUILT, GATHER, EMBROID-
Err and CORD, and will do neatly and rapid
ly every variety Of sewing that can be done by
similar stitch upon the highest priced machine.
No machine will make and put upon garments
the finishing cord as neatly ms ours.
Send for a circular containing full particulars,
prices, testimonials, illustrations Of stitch &c.
Machines warranteda and full directions given,
for using, without charge. U
Orders for machines and circulars will receive
prompt attention, by addressing Ja

Difficulty and Effort.

IL is not ease. but effort; not facility but diff
fieulty that makes men. There ., perhaps, no
station in life in which difficulties have not been
encountered and overcome before any decided
measure Of success can be achieved; those diff
culties are, however. our best instructors, as our
mistakes often form our best experience. We
learn wisdom from failsre more than from our
success we often discover what uill do, by find
ing out what will not do; and he who never
made a mistake never made discovery. Horne
Tooke used TO say of his studies in intellectual
philosophy, that he had become all the better ac.
quainied with the country through the good luck
somtmes 10 lose his way. And a distinguished
investigator in physical science has left il on re-
cord that wheue, er in the course of his research
e., be encountered an apparently insupsrable Oh
stacle. he generally found himself on the brink
of some novel discovery. The very greatest
things-great thoughts. discoveries. inventions
have generally been nurtured in hardship, often
pondered over in sorrow, and at length establish
ed with difficulty.
Beethoven said of Ros.ini. that he had in him
stuff TO have made a good musician, if he had
only when DO, been we'll hogged; but he had
been spoilt by the fecility which he produced.
Men who feel their strength within them need
not fear 10 encounter adverse opinions: they
have far greater reason to fear undue praise and
too friendly criticism. When Hendelssohu was
about to enter the orchestra at Birmingham, on
his first performance,of his "Elijah," he said
lauyhingly to one of his friends and critics.
'Stick your claws into me. Don't tell me what
you like, but what you don't like'
II has been said, and truly, that u Is the
defeat that tries the general moro than the
victory Washington los, far more battles than
he gained: but he succeeded in the end The
Romans. in their most victorious campaigns,
almost invariably began with defeats Moreau

There's a mighty new born natisn,
Sprung to life and power and station,
Just by seizing the occasion

And they've cut, in Indignation,

With sloop, man ofwar and cruiser,

That our ports they would blockade, sir,
And our hated land invade, sir.

And they're mighty, too, in figures,

And they talk of pulling triggers,
