''LEr THE CoEBLER STICK TO Ills LAST"
Had this maxim, ancient and homely
as it is, been adhered to in the United
States, or rather in the Northern States,
we would not now have a country in
weeds of mourning, groaning under an
intolerable load of national debt and al
most in despair to get rid of a civil war,
and restore peace to a heart broken coun-
try.
Had Abraham Lincoln stuck to mauling
rails Had Andrew johnson stuck to his
tailors bench, and we might come down
still and say had Barker stuck to his shuck
shops, they or either of them might have
become the bcnefactors instead of the
curse and annoyance of their fellow men.
Had Abraham Lincoln continued working
on rails, he probably would have lived
respected and died lamented, and although
the historian might have not said anything
about him, he was then safe from the
historians page. Whereas his name now
IN history is rather doubtful, it may be
eNecrated Or it may be praised, the din

1t is thought that the federal army

for the present.
The political news is favorable to the
cause of the white man. All those who
were somewhat cool on account Of the war

letter of acceptance, are going in heart

RECRUrTs.-It appears the recruited
soldiers are all hereafter to be branded
this seems to be the lowest act of degra-
dation administered yet by the dynasty at
Washington to a once free and high-mind
ed people. We wonder if Lincoln wont
compel the people ere long to wear brass
collar around their neck, on which their
name shall be engraved, as was the case
with the old swine herds of Britain, in
order to designate who was their owner
If reelected che would play such fan
tastic tricks as make the angels weep"
But if he waits until the 4th of March
before he puts the collar ON his men, he
will not have very many at that time.
The following items is from the Chicago
Times:
"All accepted recruits" who hereafter
are received at Springfield, will, in accor

William III. Seward, the great mouth
piece and word-monger of Lincolns Ad-

paIgn in a most extraordinary harangue

somewhat obscure, but this one was care

Wheeler & Wilson, highest premium
Sewing Machine, is decidedly the best.
These unequalled Machines are adapted
to every variety of sewing for family
wear, from the lightest musllns to the
heaviest cloths. They work equally well
upon silk, linen, wooden, and cotton goods.
with silk, cotton, or linen thread. They
will seam, quilt, gather, hem, fell, cord,
braid, bind, and perform every kind of
sewing, making beautiful and perfect
stitch, alike on both sides of the article
sewed. The Sewing Will never unravel
or wash out.
The Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Ma
| chimes are so simple that a child can
work them with ease. Printed instruc-
tions are sent with every Machine, 50
| that any one can operate them without
any trouble or difficulty. Every Machine
is warranted, and the money returned if
not entirely satisfactory.
Over fifty thousand of the celebrated
Wheeler 6, Wilson Sewing Machines are
sold every year, and yet the demand is so
great that they can hardly be supplied as
fast as ordered. Machines are carefully
packed and sent in good order to any por-
ton of the country.
We hope our readers will write at once
to the Wheeler & Wilson Agency, No!

get one of their Almanacs for 1865, and
specimens of work done by the Machine,
all of which they will send by mail, free
