TuE GROVER & BAKER SEWING MA
CHIMES. Among the many sewing machines
now before the public for approval, none
have sustained SO enviable reputation as
the Grover & Baker, Its simplicity
places it within the use of even children,
and its capacity excels all others. The un-
firing energy of the Grover & Baker Sew
ing Machine Company has been productive
ofmany and rapid improvements, and there
is now no branch of style of sewing machine
known to the business-cther practical or
ornamental--to which the Grover & Baker
machine and its improvements cannot be ap-
piled. In this opinion we are sustained by
the verdict of the best judges throughout
the country, who have awarded this machine
the first premium at all the state fairs at
which it has been exhibited the past year.
This company have recently introduced
new and greatly improved machine, making
the shuttlc-stitch or stitch alike on both
sides, which will commend itself to all who
prefer stitch of this kind. To those un-
acquainted with the merits of either the
Grover u Baker or the shuttle-stitch, they
oller special inducements in the fact that
the purchaser is afforded an opportunity for
comparing and testing both stitches, and
Judging for themselves as to their respec-
tive merits. Frank Leslie'S Waga.iue.

invoke every man who loves Democracy and

TIE DYING YEAR.-The art Journals of
the East, says an exchange, tell us that
home artists are busy on fall work. "
There is an artist abroad, however, that
surpasses them all He, too, is busy on his
fall work, as any one may see who visits the
woods, and, lin the love of nature, holds
communion with her visible forms" The
dying year dons its robes-slowly, sadly
What coloring. Golden, green, brown,
purple, and russell, with such soft shadings
and delicate interminglngs of hues and
shadows as defy the painters art The
gorgeous livery of autumn ftly comes lust
before the shroud of winter. The last scene
In the panoramic view of the marching
seasons should be themost brilliant. There
is Il lesson in it to the dullest--a moral in it
to the wick cdcst.
Before Virgil wrote, or David sung, au-
tumn was theme for poetry and song. 1t
is yet, and ever will be, and ever should be.
To Christian and Pagan it is equally intel
ligible, and the rude Indian bows his head,
and listens and understands, Said Logan
My people vanish like the leaves when the
winter approaches, but when the leaves
come again my people will not be here. -
They are dead leaves. The white man has
buried them. Logan isa dead tree to which
no leaves come again.
Go forth and look upon the dying year,
if you would return to trade and care, the
street, the world and business, better for
the sight. The winds moan through the
branches and
FILED is the blasted verdure of the fields
And shrunk into their beds the fiowery race
Inelr sunny robes resign. Even what remains
~ stronger fruits falls from the naked tree,
Ana woods, fields, gardens, orchards all around
Inc desolated prospect thrills the soul.''

A Coon STORY. An Irshman recently
stopped at hotel at neighboring town,
where pretty high bills were charged. In
the morning the landlord made out the
amount of damage" and presented it TO
Pat After he had glanced over it, the
latter looked the landlord in the face, and
exclaimed, "Ye put me in mind of a snipc +"
"Why?' asked the landlord ''Bckase
ye're very nigh all BILL "
The next night Pat stopped with DAN.
Ely, of the Exchange, Wooster, and after
being entertained in that satisfactory man
ner so peculiar to DAN, he was presented
with the bill, and remarked "Ye put
me in mind Of gintlcman." "Why?"
asked DAN? 'Bekase ye have hardly any
bill at all considerin' the accommodations 3"
Any one who ever tarricd at the Exchange
will say DAN. "knows how to keep a
tavern
