DOMESTIC rcoNoNY.
have said little In these letters Of domos-
tic or social life. We arc 80 cngrossod with
public affairs, and 30 much given 70 minding
other peoples business, that we forget that
hOuse-lifC aud ita comforts or discOmtort-
arc the Joy or bano OF our existence. Science
and art havb contributed much to tighten
domestic duties, and machinery now performs
much of the domestic labor formerly done by
hand. There Is scarcely q branch of house
hold service that has not called some new
- improved machine To- ia aid, and
W. knit and sew 10y machinery, and wash and

modern appliances, by which one does the
work ofmany, tend to relieve woman from
excessive and prOtractcd toll, and give her
leisure to improve her mind and Ut her for
equal compauionship with man. And no in.
vGntion has done moro to accomplish 81 dc.
sirablo a result than that OF
SEWN MACHINES.
The number Of which, manufactured and
in constant use, N almost Incredible. There
ir a great variety Of these machines, each
with some poculiarity, and II il not a little
noteworthy that equally Intelligent aud skill
lul operators prefer different machines. Tho
chief obstacle TO their coming into universal
use Is their high price. And competition aud
new inventions will soon remove this Difficult.
ty. 4 lady rocontly made inquiry Of the Far
mors' Club, Of New York, whether thoro was
any sowing machine made and IA the market
capable Of DONG the work VIII ich the Stand
ard machines do, which arc sold at u mOdCr-
nto price. There hayo loeu many machines
wh0sc inventors have claimed for them those
two roquisitcs-chcapncs and ability to do
all kinds Of family sCwlng-but most Of them
failed to stand the test Ut u thorough
trial. There n no good reason why the Stan
duTd machines thOuld not be cheap, save in
tho good Of their owners. But IA long as
they are protected 10y patent and COMBINE
together thcy can command an cxorbltant
price for them. or course, the public will
welcome tho advent OF any new machine, Of
moderate price, that will do as good work as
the high priced machines.
