THIS Machine is constructed on an entirely

rare and valuable improvement, having been
examined by the most profound experts, and
pronounced to be SIMPLICITY and PER.
FICTION COMBINED.
The following are principal objections
urged against Sewing Machines
i-Excessive fatigue to 4.-Incapacity to sew

of order. 5..Disapreeable noise
3.-Expense, trouble while in operation.
and loss of time in re-
pairing. .
The Empire Sewing Machine is ex'
empI from all these objections.
1t has a straight needle perpendicular &C.
ton. makes the LOCK or SHUTTLE STITCH,
which will neither RIP nor RAv8L. and is
|alikc on both sides; performs perfect sewing
on every description of material, from Leath-
er to the finest Nansook Muslin, with cotton,
linen or silk thread, from the cearsest to the
finest number.
Having neither CAM nor COG WHEEL and
the least possible friction, it runs as smooth
as glass; andis

1t requires FIFTY PER CENT less power to

Its strength and Wonderful Simplicity of
construction render it almost impossible to
get GU. OF order. ana is guaranteed by the com

Come those from whom we parted last,
In the sweet days OF yorc.
Good d-night!'' Warm lips to ours are press
And dear arms clasp with loves caress,
4 5 parting words are ss5d.
But now we see each vacant chair
Our outstretched hands grasp open air
Our early loves are dead.
Adown the track of by-gone days
We see hopes freight brightly blaze,
And tears fall down like rain.
Some friends are changed and some are dead.
Some hopes forgotten, some are fled
And some were but in vain.
Dear hope aud faith say, 'TWeep more!'
They wait Us on the blssful sho.e
Of faircst, fadelcss light.
There we shall dwell where joy ne'er ends,
There VIC shall clasp the hands Of friends
WLo badc Us here "Good-night!'
