The ice is still gorged in front of the city,
but in such manner as'to form channel
from one shore to the other, admitting Of
the free passage Of the ferry boat, which
made two or three trips yesterday afternoon
How long the ice will remain in this cond-
ton il is, Of course, impossible to say. 1t
is to be confidently hoped that some availa-
BILE means Of transportation will be speedily
and permanently afforded our friends on the
opposite side of the river 10 that they may

Spare the Women.

ovERwoRKED woNEN.-"An overworked woman
is always sad sight-sadder, great deal, than an
overworked man, because she is much more fertile
in capacities OF suffering than a man. She has so
many varieties OF observation-disclosures as II Jael
were driving the nail that killed Sisera into her
temples, sometimes letting her work with half her
brain while the other half throbs as IL ii would 90 TO
pieces sometimes tightening around the brows as II
her cap-band were Luke's iron crown-and then her
neuralgas and her backaches and her fits OF depres-
sion, in which she thinks she is nothing, and those
paroxysms which men speak lightly of as hysterical
-convulsions, that is ALL only not commonly fatal
ones-so many trials which belong to her fine and
mobile structure, that she is always entitled to pity
when she is placed in conditions which develop her
nervous tendencies.
EEvery word true preaching. II Is sad sight to
see an overwerked woman; but its sadness is in
creased by the fact that her tolls might be aevlated
and her burdens lessened, If men would but con-
slider. Why should our mothers, wives and daugh-
ters be compelled to labor day after day. and not un-
frequently night after night doing up the sewing OF
the family, when a comparatively trining outlay
would purchase machine with which all this te-
dious health wasting work coud be done in fourth
of the time, and in better manner? We have in
our family, and have had for years, and always in
tend to have, a neat, noiseless, simple sewing ma
chine, that gets out Of order may be operated
by child, does its work with almost tnconcelvable
rapidity and in the best possible manner; never
misses STITCH uses but a single thread, and pro-
misses to last for century. We tried one Of these
machines first After using 1t while we were fool
ishly persuaded to believe there were better kinds
We exchanged our old machine for one of the better
kind, and this for a second, said to be as uperlor
one, and this second superior for a machine de-
clared to be best of all, and wound up our trading
operations by going back to our first love- and or
dered the WILCOX Gibbs Nolseless Sewing Ma
chine, the one above all others which we would re-
commend for family purposes.

THIS is indeed an age Of invention of progress,
and of Improvement. one mind conccives a new
idea; another grasps the idea and makes it practi-
cal; but the highest state OF perfection is rarely
ever reached by the first or second effort. Many
trials difficulties, and Giscouragements must be
countered and endured before complete success can
be attained. forcible illustration OF this truth is
the gradual development of the wonderful LETTER
&c" from the first crude idea OF sewing by machi-
merry. For a long time tcO threads were deemed
essential in the construction OF sewing machines.
Hence the necessary complications OF every produc
tion But finally it occurred to one OF the most
thoughtful Of our modern inventors that thread
had ever been regarded as sufficient for handsewing
Then from analogy he reasoned that one thread
alone ought to be employed in a machine supplying
the place of hand labor Acting upon this theory, he
soon achieved success altogether unprecedented in
the history of sewing machines.
The first invention was not more remarkable or
mertorious than this last, while its results far
less valuable to the world. The first established that
machine sewing was possible The last demonstrated
the practical utility of sewing machines for general
family use. The first was composed OF many parts
and required skilled operator to manage it. The
last is perfect marvel Of simplicity, and can be

Did you ever dream that the drudgery OF sewing

you ever believe that little polished seamstress
would step into your sewingroom, and, with scarcely
