To the Editor Of Marx Lane Express:
SIR-In a recent number Of your journal you
published list of awards in the agricultural and
horticultural department Of the French Exhibition
In this list the name of Mr.. Mccormick. OF Chicago,
United States, occurs twice firstly, a. the recip-
lent of the Grand Prize, and secondly as beng
nominated a Knight Of the Imperial Order Of the
Legion of Honor. both which distinctions are con-
ferred on account OF "a reaping machine Now,
although the Times" and other papers have stated
that the machine with which Mr.. Mccormick has
gained his spurs rds made by ~, and embodied our
Dafsnfef Improvements, vet as no such announce
ment has appeared in the official organ Of agricul
turists we trust YOU will allow space 10 call at
tention 10 the fact, which might otherwise escape
the notice Of those most interested in the subject
viii you allow US TO add, that we did not exhibit
at all in own name, and that our moving ma
chine which gained the first prize last season at
Newcastle. did not compete at Paris. the reaping
machine exhibited by Mr.. Mccormick being the
ONLY machine OF our make there.
We are, Sirs, your obedient Servants,

ADVICE TO A SHoEMAKER's AP-
PRENTIcE.-Young man, the Bible
says, MANY that are first shall be
last, and the last first" Commit
that to memory and consider it
particularly applicable to the trade
you are about to learn. A desire
10 learn should be upper utmost
in your mind, and therefore, "aWl"
Of your attention should be on your
work during working hours. Al
ways do that which "seams" right,
in all your walks of life have due
regard to the welfare Of your "sole."
Remember that the darkest cloud
has a silver "lining', and that 3
"stitch" in time saves nine. II
troubles beset you, "peg" away to
overcome them. "Pare" off the
rough "edges" Of your character,
''lift" yourself above bad company,
and "counter" act all bad influences.
In your dealings with mankind, al
ways "toe" the mark. "Tap" all
sources Of information that you
can. Should you marry, do not
"welt' your wife. Do not remain
out late at night, but go home in
the "shank' of the evening. Should
you ever become a public speaker,
stick close to the "thread" Of your
discourse, and wax" eloquent as
you proceed. Always try to gov
ern your temper, and never chris
tie" up at triaes. Avoid attendance
at "balls'', for their influence is
bad, and they are likely to get you
into "scrapes. Love and cherish
those dependent upon you, yeur
as yourself, and when you
nave breathed your "last'' and
FOUR life is "closed up" and "fn-
shed', may you go to that heaven,

PLEASANT NE1GHBoRs. - Ones
| pleasure, after all, is much affected
by the quality of ones neighbors,
even though one may not be on
speaking terms with them. A pleas
ant bright face at a window is sure
ly better than a discontented cross
one; and a house that has the air of
being inhabited is preferable to
closed shutters and unsocial blinds
excluding every ray Of sunlight and
sympathy. We like to see the
glancing, cheerful light through the
windows of a Geld night, or watch
them, as the evening deepens, grad
ually creeping from the parlor to
the upper stories of the houses near
us. We like to watch the little
children go in and out the door, to
play or to school. We like to see
a white-robed baby dancing up and
down at the window in its mothers
arms, or the father reading his
newspaper there at evening, or any
of these impromptu home glimpses,
which, though we are no Paul Pry,
we assert go to make a pleasant
to those who live for
comfort instead of show. Sad, in
deed, some morning, on waking, it
is to see the blinds down and shut
ters closed, and know that deaths
angel, while it spared our threshold,
mas crossed that Of our cheerful
sad to miss the white
'obed baby from the window, and
zee the little coffin at nightfall horne
nto the house. Sad to see inno-
cent little faces pressed at eventide
lgainst the window-pane, watching
or the "dear papa" who has gone
% his long home.
