SEWING MACHINES:
"A PRESENT
Worth Having.

Of course any present. however trivial is worth ac-
measured by. the unseen jewels of sentiment that
maRination invests it with. STILL one does not OBJ
Ieet to present having high intrinsic value
think the less of present from her husband for its
having cost from forty to two hundred dollars Not
such present as true wife would like to receive
from her worser half. Such of our own readers as
would see it in its substantial form, may do So by
stepping into the salesroom of Messrs. Grover Ba-
ker: In one of their sewing machines SO perfect in
their construction, and so easily adapted to every
Kind OF work, we think that genuine husband, who
loves his wife, and would therefore tighten her heart
by tightening her household cares will find just such
present he ought to feel bound to gveher at this
season Of festivity and gratefuness The prices of
the machines, which are marveousy simple and re-
quire no mechanical skill to manage are from fifty
five dollars upward. Let every sensible father of
family buy one and in six months it will save its
cost in "wearness and vexation of spirit" alone.
