TIT HAS BECOME ESTABLISHED IN ALL
 parts of Europe, and is in like manner be- coming THE Machine all over the loyal North. Such unparalled success is due to the merit of
 the Machine, as all may sec upon examination. We challenge comparison, and invite all who | desire perfect Sewing Machine to test for THEMSELVES. Send or bring work which other Machines cannot do, and the WEED will do it. They use two threads with straight needle and shuttle, making the lock stitch, which is alike on both sides, and for I4 tNF.At ECONOMY, DURABILITY, ELASf1CI- TY and BEAUTY,
 it is the only stitch worthy of use. Are sim pie in construction and never get out of order, are kept clean without taking apart or mo wing a screw run easily, and as still as the most
 nervous person could wish. They stitch, hem, fell, braid, cord, bind and gather, without
 basting. They. use silk, cotton or linen thread,
 and will sew from one to twenty thicknesses of Marseilles without any change whatever, and
 make every stitch perfect. s.s r ,d@ The Manufacturing Machine is, without | doubt, the best for all kinds of heavy army lclothing, tailoring, &c.,, and yet the same Ma chine will stitch perfectly the finest shirt bos-
 om. In proof of their superiority over other l machines, we can refer to many of the leading clothing houses in the Eastern States now us- HE Gueul, WuO uufc tTlCu Gllu lllu dbltlS tlC
 other standard Machines. The Manufacturing
 Machines are set to run at different. .rates of speed. from three to five stitches to q revolu- tion, although all our Machines may be, ,ran by

A HUNDRED DOLLAR NOTE TO Boor.-Old VI, Q well-to-do farmer in Illinois; had four marriageable daughters and being one of those men who think their girls should get married as soon as they are out of their short clothes, felt somewhat chagrined that his girls should remain on his hands so long.
 Now, there was q young fellow in the neigh borhood who had been waiting on the - girls9for some time, and gone the round from oldest to youngest; and the old man had been anxiously waiting for, and expecting young B-- to ask consent" for some one of thetgirls, ,,bnt as yet he waited in vain. B. - however, had proposed and been accepted i; but the old folks had not been made acquain- ted with the fact. 5I.- f..
 Now, in the meantime, young B-- had purchased fine horse of the old gent, and had given his note on six months time for one hundred dollars. We'll, pay day was fast ap- preaching, and B-- had not tbe ready |" to meet it; so the day before the note became due, B-.--- made his way over to the old gents, determined to ask him for his daughter hoping thereby to get an extention on the note at least. -,-- '.
 As good luck would have it, he met the old man in the yard, and was about to go through with the interesting ceremony of" asking con- sent," when imagine his surprlse and iov. the old gent broke out with the following:
 "Look here B--, you young rascal, you have been courtin' my gals fo- morn year you have been gaddin and cuttin round with the hole on i'm. Now, vour note comes due tomorrow, and I'll tell you what I'll do. You shall marry one of my gals-I don't care snap wbich-and I'll give you settin' out and your hunderd dollar note to boot; and if you don't I'll sue you, by thunderl"
 It's a bargain" said B-,"In do it." And the next week their was "tall" wedding down at the old man V---'s; and to this day B------ chuckles over the way the old man gave his consent without asking "and a hundred dollar note to boot"

 | The Agency is not only the largest in New England, but through it, inventors have ad- vantages for securing Patents, of ascertaining the patentability of inventions, unsurpassed by, if not imnneasurably superior to any which can be offered them elsewhere. The testimo nials given below prove that none is MORE SUCCESSFUL AT THE PATENT OFFICE, than the subscriber and as SUCCESS IS THE BEST PROOF OF ADVANTAGES AND ABIEI- TY, he would add that he has abundant req son to believe, and can prove, that at no other office of the kind are the charges for profes- sonal services so moderate. The i'm mense prac- tice of the subscriber during twenty'yerrs past, has enabled him to accumulate a vast collec- tion of specifications and official decisions rela- tive to Patents. These, besides his extensive library of legal and mechanical works, and full accounts of patents granted in the United States and Ed rope, render him able beyond question, to of fer superior facilities for obtaining Patents . All necessity of a journey to Washington. to procure patent. and the usual great delay there, are here saved inventors. .s.,,-.. TESTIMONIALS.

auxvrp .Joxr-K-,th the Quaker Pres ;dert of Pennsylvania railroad. during the confns;on and panic last fall, called upon the W bank, with which the road kept large regular account, and asked for an extension of part of it's paper falling due in few days. The Bank President declined rather abruptly, saying in 2 rough way to the functionary: vi. 'Mr. K--, your paper must be paid at maturity.;, we cannot renew it.. .-.
 'Very well, ?! our Quaker friend replied, and left the bank But he did not let the matter drop here. On leaving the bank he went to the depot and telegraphed to all the agents and conductors on the road to reject the bills of the W bank In few hours the trains began to arrive, full of the panic, and bringing the news of the W bank all along the iine.- Stockholders and depositors focked to the bank, quaking with panic, inquiring thus: sWhat's the matter? Is the bank broke etc. etc.
 A little inquiry on the part of the officers showed that the trouble originated in the re- lection of the bills by the railroad agents. The President seized his hat and rushed down to the Quaker's office, and came bursting ia with this inquiry:
 MT. k, have you directed the refusal of our. currency by your agents2' ss
 Yes was the quiet reply.
 Why is this? It will ruin us'
 Well, friend L---, I supposed the banl was going to fail, as it could not renew Ittl' paper for us this morning.

Less than two months ago, one of the
showiest equipages seen in the Central
Park on sunny afternoons belonged to
the establishment of Well-known oiti-
zen in Lexington avenue, whose elegant
profusion" was prOverb with men about
town. One of the showiest boxes at the
opera was his also, and on Sundays the
congregation of C-y Church, in Fourth
avenue, would be disturbed at their pray
ers by the enterance of the rich man and
his daughters late on purpose, in order to
attract attention and create sensation.
Balls, parties, receptions, ETC., were
events of almost nightly occurrence at
his residence, and to obtain the entree
there was considered thereafter an I'M
questionable passport to "our best sOcie-
ty.' Everything went ON swimmingly
for while, but the turn of the tide came
at last, Three weeks ago this very day

WELCOME HOME.

o, the men who fought and bled,
o, the glad and gallant tread,
And the bright skies overhead,
Welcome home!
o, the brave returning boys,
o, the overhOwing joys,
And the guns and drums and noise,
Welcome home!
Let the deep-voiced cannon roar,
Open every gate and door,
Pour out, happy people, pour,
Welcome home!
Bloom, o banners, over all,
Over every roof and wall,
Welcome home!
Splendid columns moving down,
Iron vet'rans, soiled and brown,
Grim heads fit to wear a crown,
Welcome home!
Grim heads which wall have been,
Keeping sacred things within,
Keeping out the hosts of sin,
Welcome home!
There the women stand for hours,
With their white hands full of flowers,
Raining down the perfumed showers,
On the dear men marching homeI
Do you see him in the line,
Something makes him look divine,
And glory makes him shine,
Coming home!
Look out where the flag unfurls,
Look out through your tears and curls,
Give them welcome, happy girls!
Welcome home!
Welcome home from wars alarms,
Welcome to a thousand charms,
Waiting lips and loving arms,
Welcome home!
Strong man, with the serious face,
If you saw him in his place,
Marching swift to your embrace,
Coming home,
You would weep with glad surprise,
At the dear dead boy that lies
Underneath the Southern skies,
Far from home.
Woman, with the tender eve.
Weeping while the boys go by,
Well we know what makes you cry,
Weary homel
God be with you in your pain,
You will look and look in vain,
He will never come again
To his home!
So amid our joy we weep
For the noble dead who sleep
In the vale and on the steep,
Far from home;-
For the chief who fought so well,
For the Christ-ike man who fell
By the chosen son of Hell,
And went home!
And we thank you. Slavery's dead.
And the hosts of Wrong are fed,
And the Right prevails instead;
Welcome home!
Limb, and tongue, and press are free
And the Nation shouts to see
All the glory yet to be;
Welcome home!
For the bloody work is done,
And the people shall be one
Under all the Western sun;
Welcome home!
Man no caste or king shall know,
White and black shall rise and grow.
And to wondrous nights shall go;
Welcome home!
