When we speak of the trials Of Others;
To say that man should be merciful, kind.
In dealing with friends and with Brothers.
A,,Tis easy to plead for the fallen, and say.

To err is but human, and where Is the man
Blu, sins every day that he lives?
No matter how black be the list of your crime,
'Gainst man. or 'gainst heaven above;
The spirit of mercy demand you be met

You sin against ME, you shall hang.

Why THE GROVER & BAKER MACHINE
is BEST:

Why THE GROVER g. BAKER MACHINE
Is BEST:
l. 1t is more simple durable, and less Cliable
to arrangement than others.
q 1t sews from ordinary spools, and no re.
winding of thread is necessary.
8. 1t sews with equal facility all fabrics. the
most delicate and the heaviest, and with all kinds
OF thread silk, cotton or linen.
T. Its seam is so strong and elastic that it
never breaks, even on the bias.
5. 1t fastens both ends of the seam by its own
operation.
g. Its seam. though cut at every sixth stitch,
remains firm and neither runs or ravels in wear.
7. Its seam is more plump and beautiful, and
retains its plumpness and beauty after washing
better than any other
g. Its seam can be removed in altering gar
ments, AFTER PROPER INSTRUCTION, without
picking or cutting them.
3. Watching and varying the tensions upon
the threads necessary in other machines, is un.
necessary in this. The tension being once ad-
justed on the Grover 4 Baker Machine, any
amount OF sewing may be done without change.
10. 1t makes beautiful embroidery without
any change of arrangement, simply by inserting
threads Of suitable sizes and colors for this pur-
pose. II is the ONLY machine that both embroi-
ders and sews perfectly.

KEEPING APPLEs.-R. Z. Marsh of Bran
don, Vt, says he had last July, Rhode Island
Greetings, Northern Spy, and Spitzenbu rg
apples fresh and juicy, and Of good flavor
He says one great mistake in regard to APP
pies (and we may add in regard to the winter
pears, also) is in picking them before they
are thoroughly matured. "My experience"
he says, Sin keeping apples tor the past thirty
years is simply this-I have packed them in
buchwheat hulis, wheat bran, dried sand, and
sawdust | have also kept them on shelves,
and in barrels, with no intermixture of other
material. The latter l consider the better
method for two reasons LIST, they kept as
well or better; I'd, they are fresher, more
juicy, and consequently more delicious eat
ing. In the latter part of November, 1862, |
took clean, dry -four barrels, and set them
on pieces of scantling in my coolest and
darkest cellar-room. A part of them |
filled with apples, and nothing but apples. In
a part of the barrels | placed very dry corn
husks at the bottom and sides and then filled
with apples. Another portion of the same va:
reties of apples placed in single layers on
wooden shelves in the same room. In Feb
Tuary and March | examined the apples, and
found those in barrels with husks at the bot
tom had many of them decayed, and the rot
ted ones seemed to affect all the rest, tor
there was damp mold reaching nearly to the
top Of the barrels, and many of the apples
covered with it. In the barrels without
husks there was a mere trihe of unsound
fruit, while it did not at all affect Gas in the
other barrels) the taste of what remained
sound. On the shelves about the same pro-
portion decayed as in the barrels without
husks, but the apples seemed a little fresher
to eat than any of the others.
On the whole then, | consider all the stmys-
terry" about keeping apples is to have them
carefully picked, without bruising,. quite late
in the season. kept in a cool place, free from
frost, until the sweating process" is com
pleted; then placed in a dark, cool room in
the cellar, in barrels, as described, open at
the top, or on shelves, as preferred. If there
is any better way have not found it. 1t
should be borne in mind that if the heat from
furnace, or any other artificial heat in the
cellar, comes in contact with the fruit, it is
sure to injure it, Gennesee farmer.
