With fdih liles trials boldly breast,
And come conquerOr to thy rest,

ucal acquaintance with the leading Sowing Ma

Q-Among your acquaiu tancos who have used

cases known TO you, preferred for family use

machines to the Grover * Baker, when they have
tried both machines
Q.-What are the reasons OF this preference ,
Please state them fully and AT large
A.-Ihe principal reason or one of the main
reasons, is for the elasticity aud durability of the
stitches. the regularity and beauty Of the stitch
on all fabrics alike. There are some machines
which sew very nicely on certain kinds of worl,
that do not sew well ON others. | have never

THE PRAYER OF TIE BETRornED.

Father, come before Thy throne,
With love and Bonded knee,
To thank Thee, with grateful tone,
For all Thy love to me,
Forgive me If my heart this hour
give not all to Thee,
For deep affections mighty power
Divides il now with Thee.
Thou knowest, Father, every thought,
That waleih in my breast,
And how this heart has vainly sought
To keep it's love suppressed.
Yet when the idol, worshipped one,
Sits fondly by my side,
And breathes the vow cannot shun,
To me, his destined bride
Forgive me, if the loving kiss
lie leaves upon my brow,
Is thought of in an hour like this,
And thrills rne even now
Hes chosen me to be his love
And comforter through life,
Enable me, oh Gcd, TO prove
\ loving, faithful wife.
lie knows not, Father, all the deep
Affection ! control,
The thousand loving thoughts that sweep
Resistess DER my soul.
He knows not each fount of love
That gushes warm and free;
Nor can he ever ever prove
Ny warm idOlatry.
Then guard him, Father round his way.
Thy choicest blessings cast;
And render each successive day
still happier than the last
And, Father grant, us to live,
That when this life is DER,
Within the happy home you give,
Wen meet 20 part no more.
