When summer days are fair.
The feathery snow comes floating down
Like blossoms on the air;
And o'er the world, like angels wing,
Unfolding soft and white,

And fills with forms of light

Where winter holds its icy reign.

SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN. Jan. 29th 1867
"The simplicity and accuracy of its mechanism
prevent its dropping stitches, to which many 9th
er machines are liable, and which has hitherto
brought the "chain stitch" into disrepute. One
cannot but admire the beauty and accuracy of its
movements, and the entire absence of all noise,
even when running al the rate of 1000 stitches
and upward per minute. This alone must prove
great recommendation to it. Another merit is
the good workmanship The parts are made in
terchangeable so that in the event of accident to
the machine, any part can be replaced, at a tri-
fling cost. 1t is, indeed, "mcchanical wonder

throw up his hands deprecatingly against

SO. Perhaps few would do so did they
