VINE successful development of the art Of sew
ing by machines, is an invention destined to
work u complete aud beneficial revolution, in an
important and indispensable branch of the indus
try Of the world, and to add as much to the COM
fort and welfare of mankind as any mechanical
device that the mind of man has yctconccivcd, or
his ingenuity carried into effect. 1t is an nvcn-
itOn which will assurediy mark an era in human
progress. 1t is in fact the creation of new art.
That machines will produce entire change in
the universal labor of sewing is now beyond
doubt-the 'bcginning of the end has, indeed,
already appeared; for their working powers have
been fully tested and established and their caac-
ity of production shown to he little less than
marvellous, even in this age of astounding me
chanical developments. That vast benciicial and
social consequences, will accrue from their use is
no less certain. For some of these have actually
been experienced. In families the advantages of
n Good Sewing Machine are beyond computation.
1t has become household companion, and is fast
becoming an indispensable one, relieving females
from the waste Of precious time, and unhealthy
confinement, to which they have for ages been
subject, by the necessity of hand sewing. In
this department the sewing machine may be re-
Rarded a means Of disseminating learning, ex-
tending education and public intelligence: as now
girls and middle-aged women, whose toll by the
hand needle was much required, to do the fam
lily sewing, can accomplish as great and better
results, in one-tenth the time, and thus leave the
balance Of the time for reading and instruction
And it is not to be forgotten that whatever instr
mentality reaches this subject, and tends to pro-
mote that kind OfimprOvcmcnt, contributes in like
manner to make better wives better mothers, and
their influence in turn to make better men, and
all united to make better community and bet
ter world. As
