THE AMERICAN INSTITUTION.

The Grover a Baker Sewing Machine has
special claims to public attention, as a very SUI
perior and valuable assistant in household in
-dustry. That this machine has made thousands
of friends, who attest its superiority over every
thing else can not be doubted; and il is claimed
that it is only necessary to REASON upon its pc
culiarities to enable any person to appreciate
its advantages in the family over any other one
in use, What these advantages are claimed to
be, we propose briefly to state, that compari-
son may be drawn between the Grover 4 Baker
and other machines:
|. 1t makes the only seam formed by sewing
machine in which each stitch is independently
locked, and without dependence upon the Other
stitches for strength.
2. 1t makes the only seam that will admit Of
the thread being cut at every fourth stitch with.
out injury to the seam in wear.
3. 1t is unnecessary to fasten the ends o
seams made by this machine. This is done BY
the machine ITSELF without the use of the hand
needle.
4. The Grover q Baker stitch is the. only on,
formed from two ordinary spools, and without
winding from the spool into the shuttle from
three to five times for the under thread.
5. A seam thus formed is more elastic thar
any other made by a sewing machiue, and IL
very valuable in all goods that are to be washed
and stretched under the iron.
8. The machine is adapted to all varieties Of
fabrics, sewing each equally we'll, and requiring
no adjustment for any kind of sewing other
than the adoption Of needles and thread.
Z. 1t is more easily kept in order than any
other machine, and noed not to be taken apar,
TO be oiled.
8. The machine sews common spool cotton,
silk, and linen thread with equal facility.
Q. The machine is so simple that an intelli.
gent child of ten years can readily learn to op.
crate and keep IL in order.
10. By reason of its simplicity of construc-

We kcmmence life-We are somebody's
baby-we have faxen hare we 60 to
district skule-we slide down hill-we pla
hookey-we have to smoke, and find our
selves men grown all to Onst. Thus far
nature haspiped, and we have dansed and
there haint no fiddler to pa, but now comes
in the special ordainment times. [ have
bin through with awl this miself and stood
on the threshold, young man, looking
around reddy to be ordained. Ifelt as
tho l wud give SIS at least if sumbuddy
wud cum along and ordain me, and let
me pitch in. I waited for six weeks if 1
reekolect right, and I never got the fust
smell of emmy ordaining. Then konklud-
ed to ordain miself hit or miss. The fust
thing tried on was 80 acres o7 land in
the western kentry. I ordered the vension
and wild turkey and possums teW leave,
for I was a going tew farm. ordered
log house and much rale fence immegiate-
Iy, and put in a krop of wheat, and pro-
cured swine and a yoke of Stages. 1 work
ed two years, had the ager and little crops
principally, and managed tu sink the farm
and Stages. I haint seen either ov them
from that da, and don't think I want tn.
I didn't seem to be speshially ordained
foriarming in the western kentry.
Since that time, I have tried every kind
of BUSINESS that 1 could hear on, and
haint been speshially ordained yet to mi
knollege The fault all lays in the differ
ent kind of bizness, I haintthe least doubt.
The bizness that was designed for me pro-
bably haint been ordained yet, but 1 in
tend to keep boring, and when I do strike
lie thare Will be a good time generally in
my immegiate naborhood. I have got any
quantity of friends Cthey don't seem to

anything but advise you cant ask eny-

Apologies.

As an apology is like a mud-hole-weu
enough in its place-but very much like
a mud hole out of its plaee-fOr instance
in lady's parlOr.
Some people are forever apologizing. IF
you visit them unannounced, you are over
whelmed with excuses. Their dwellings
may be in perfect order, their table boun-
tifuIly supplied, and yet you must be
bored ,apolOgetically. They seem to think
their gusts entertainment lies wholly in the
region ofhis stomach or furniture arrange
ments. Apologies always make me feel
uneasy. They seem like half-hidden in
situations that am an unWeleome visitor.
IF 1 had remained away, my hostesswould
have been spared all these torturing embar
rassments and loBg-winded apologies.
An humble meal without the vinegar of
excuses, served with a smiling and joyous
face, is a luxury; luxurious repast, well
favored with apologies, is bitter to the
taste. This habit Of apologizing for
minor matters is a sure token of ILL., breed
ing. Itiudicates that you are careless and
unthoughtful in your private relations to
those with whom you associate constantly,
and who ought to merit your attentions
while you lavish your compliments upon
your 'dear five hundred friends. IF your
house is orderly enough for your husband,
it is in proper order for a foreign minister.
If your table is fastidious enough in its ar
rangements for your family, it is good
enough for those who may stop to dine
with you. If you work, or oversee your
affairs do not apologize for every grease
spotwhich may unfortunately have attach-
ed themselves to your work-dress that NOR
ming; your husband does not apologize for
his WOrk-aprOn, or soiled pants, or shirtin
the harvest field. Dress according to your
business, live according to your income,
but do not apologize. If your friends come
Unexpectedly, (and that is the way like
best for mine to Gomez, if you have any
feelings of regard for them, don't ever
whelm them with excuses, and bore them
with recitals of the ''might have beens,"
if you had "Only known they were COM
ing" Make up your deficiencies with
your conversation and heartiness of well
come; do not make them worse with use
less apologies.
