THE UNIVERSAL
CLOTHES WRIN GER

This wRINGER has taken the FIRST PREMIUM in the
Great Fair Of the American Institute-also, at the State
Pairs of New York. Vermont, Pennsylvania, Michigan,
Indiana Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Connecticut River
Valley Fair, Champlain Valley Fair, and at most of
the County and Institute Fairs throughout the country
over 100000 have been sod and now in use in the
United States and we never heard of being thrown
aside because it was not liked.
The UNIVERSAL is superior to all other wringers, in
having larger rolls of solid India Rubber SO protected
by strong cog wheels that they cannot slip break
loose from the SHAFT Its strong wood frame cannot be
broken and does not rust or soil the clothes. Every
Universal wringer is warranted.
We select few testimonials from persons widely
known to the public, who speak from actual exPe-
rience, and are above suspicion of misstatement:

stove as this Clothes wrnger cannot be too high

a moment only, and tho light and glory
Faded away, and the dscons oatc shore
Stood lonely as before;
Aud the Wild roses of the promontory
Around me shudderod in the wind, and shed
Their petals of pale red.
There was an old belief that in the cmbers
OF al things their primordial form exists,
And cunning alchemists
Could rc-create the rose with all its members
From It's own ashes, but without the bloom,
Without the lost perfume.
All me! what wonder-workng, occult science
Gan from the ashes in our hearts once more
The rose OF youth rcstore2
what craft Of alchemy can bid defiance
10 time and change, and for a single hour
Renew this phantom flower2
"Oh give me back" cried, thc vanished splendors
The breath of morn and the exutont strife,
When the swift stream of life
bounds o'cr its rocky channel, and surrenders
The pond, with all its lilies. for the leap
Into the unknown dcepl'
And the sea answered. with lamentation,
Like some old prophet wailing, and it said,
"Aas thy youth is dead
It breathes no more, its heart has no pulsation,
In the dark places with the dead Of old
1t lives forever coldl"
Then said |, "From its consecrated cerements
will not drag this sacred dust again.
Only to give me pain;
But, still remembering all the lost endearments,
10 on my way, like one who looks before,
And turns to weep no more"
Into what land Of harvests, what plantations
Bright with autumnal foliage and the glow .
Of sunsets burning low;
Bcneathl what midnight skies whose conste ellations
Light mp the Spacious aven,Ies between
This world and the unseenl
Amid what friendly greetings and caresses,
What households though not alien, yet not mine,
What bowers of rest divine;
To what temptations in lone wilderness,
What famine Of the heart, what pain and loss,
The bearing Of what cross
do not know; nor will vanly question
Those pages of the mystic book which hold
The story still untold,
But without rash conjecture or suggestion
Turn its last leaves in reverence and good hccd
Until "'rhe End | read"

but his is not that enthusiastic valor which
is inspired by the moment, and presses on
without thought of the consequences. 1t
is rather the calculating GOODNESS which con-
fides i'm great resources, and in the dcterm-
ination of its agents to carry out its plans.
Like Jomini, Grant appears to regard an
army merely as gigantic machine, whose
mechanism he thoroughly understands, and
feels sure of his ability to manage We do
not hear of any expression of affection for
his soldiers individually, and from such an
unsympathetic nature this could hardly be
expected. He would not be likely to appre-
ciate the feelings which led Napoleon to vis-
it the sick of his army in their tents and
hospitals, to comfort them with kindly
words, to give them medicine with his own
imperial hands, and supply their needs from
his own purse.
But in spite of all these drawbacks, Gen.
Grant has achieved success over innumera-
bic obstacles. and so secured lasting popu-
laritv. In the worlds opinion success is the
great loadstone, and though amply endowed
with every quality but this the life of a
great commander may he failure. The
prize is splendid and worth the struggles of
a lifetime. As has been well said, 'the true
glory of arms cannot be obtained without
the exercise of honor, fortitude, courage, o.
bedieuce, modesty, temperance. 1t cxcites
the brave mans patriotism, and Is chasten-
ing correction for the rich mans pride" In
spite of Gen. Grants unimposng exterior,
his career has shown him to be a man of
surprising abilities. To fight with such
success as he has fought, the qualities of his
mind must be various and rare The great
est exertion of the most valuable, and even
the most contradictory endowments, is req
uisitc. In the midst of havoc and confl-
sion his view must be rapid, and his decis-
ion and execution instantaneous calmness
must be his when all around is turbulence
and horror, and the greatest impetuosity
must be united with the most consummate
prudence. 1t was these qualities that made
Gen. Grant the presiding genius of our mil
itary councils, and the saviour of our nation
1t was his hand that reduced military anar-
chy to order, that brought swift ruin upon
our enemies, and plucked the nation like q
brand from the burning. Should his life be
spared, let us hope that his undoubted 10y
atty, his stern simplicity of character, and
the combination of eminent qualities so sue
cessfully exhibited in the exigences and COM
plications of the late war, will serve to make
his connection with the future of our coun-
| try as illustrious for good as it has proved
in the perilous years of the past.-Vdtch-
man & Reflector.
