OUR NEW
FAMILY SEWING MACHINE.

IVEVHE superior merits Of the Singer Machines
/ over all others, for Family use or Manufactu-
ring purposes are so well established and so gen.
orally admitted, that enumeration of their rela-
tive excelencies isno longer considered necessary.
Our new Family Machine, which has been
brought to perfection regardless of time, labor or
expense, is now confidently presented to the pub
lie as incomparably the best Sewing Machine in
The Machine in question is simple, compact, du-
rable and beautiful. 1t is quiet, light running,
and capable Of performing range and variety of
work never before attempted upon single Ma
chine-using either SILK, TWIST, LINEN, OR
cility the very finest and coarsest materials, and
anything between the two extremes, in the most
beautiful and substantial manner. Its attach
ments for hemming, braiding, cordtng, tuckfng,
quilting telling, trimming, binding, &C., are novel
and practical, and have been invented and adjust
ed especially for this machine. 2,A -
New designs Of the unique, useful, and popular
folding tops and cabinet cases, peculiar to the na-
chimes manufactured by this Company, have been
prepared for enclosing the new Machine.
A faint idea however, can at best be conveyed
through the medium Of q necessarily limited ad-
vertisement; and we therefore urge every person
in quest of Sewing Machine by all means to e1-
anime and test if they can possibly do so, all the
leading rival machines before making purchase.
A selection can then be made understandingly.
Branches or agencies for supplying the Singer
Machines will be found in nearly every city and

GETTING THE BETTER IN MANNERS
The most characteristic instance of carry
ing politeness to an extreme, came off, not
long since, at Hibernian Ball. AS rela-
ted to us by one of the sons of Erin, who
keenly appreciates good thing, it seems
that one gay Lothario in crossing the room
to request Bridgct's hand in the next reel,
stumbled over the outstretched foot of Mr..
Terrence OGrady, who promptly arose,
and in the politest manner said:
81 beg your pardon, sir:
ssNo offence, no offence, sir, at al" re-
sponded the other.
"But it was my fault"
81 beg your pardon, sir, it was entirrly
my fault, was the response, accompanied
with graceful bend of the body, and wave
of the hand.
sNo, sir" answered Misther O'Toole,
eyer entirely in the wrong, sir; l tell ye,
it was altogether my fault"
II tell ye it was not, sir" responded
Misteer O'Grady edo ye name to say I'd
be afther telling a lie, sir p
fBad luck to ye, sir, dye name to say
I'd be afther telling ye lie, sir, whin ]
tell ye it wasn't your fault ?" thundered
O'Toole, quite wroth.
"Bad luck to yer brading, ye ignorant
polthroon ! do ye think ye'd be getting
The better of me in manners?" shouted Mis-
ther O'Grady, as with tip and blow hf
laid the unfortunate O'Toole as fiat as 6
pancake.
The latter rallied, and roug II and tum
ble ensued, which ended in the expulsion o.
both jintlemen from the ball room.

ENCOURAGING CRAFT.

A tinker was travelling In country town,
and having trayersed many miles without
finding anything to 10, he stopped, weary
and hungry, at a tavern. Here he got into
conversation with glazier, to whom be
related his troubles. The latter sympa.
thized with him deeply, and, telling him he
should have job before long, advised him
to 20 in to his dinner and eat heartily. The
tinker took his advice, ate his fill, and when
he returned to the bar-room he was over,
ioyed to hear that the landlord required his
services to mend lot of pans and kettles
which had suddenly ''sprung leak" The
tinker at once set to work, accomplished
the task, received liberal sum in payment,
and started on his way rejoicing.
Upon reaching the outside of the house
he found the glazier, who said, "well, you
see told you the truth. l procured you
a Job of work; and how do you think ]
accomplished it"
81 am sure I cannot tell," replied the
tinker.
Il will tell you," rejoined the glazier.
sYou told me you were weary, hungry and
dinnerless. Iknew the landlord was well
off, and doing good business; and so I
watched the opportunity and started leak
in every utensil I could get hold Of"
The tinker, with many thanks, and a
heart full of gratitude, resumed his jour
ney; but he had not proceeded many yards
before he reached the village church, when
a brilliant idea struck him. The glazier
had befriended him; he would befriend the
glazier. The church, he thought, could af-
ford to bear slight loss in good cause ;
so, taking position where he could not be
seen, he riddled every window in the edihce
with stones, and then, highly ehted with
his exploit, retraced his steps to notify the
glazier he would speedily have very i'm
portant job.
"Sir," said he, 81 am happy to inform
You that fortune has enabled me to return
the kindness I received from you about an
hour SINCE.
''Howso ?" asked the glazier pleasantly.
81 have broken every pane of glass in
the church." answered the tinker ''and
you of course will be employed to putthem
in again"
The glaciers jaw fell, and his face as.
sumed blank expression, as he said, in a
tremulous tone, "You don't mean to say
that, do you"
ssCertainly," replied the tinker, s'there is
not a whole pane of glass in the building.
Gone good turn deserves another, you
know"
eyes," answered the glazier, in tone
of utter despair "but, you scoundrel, you
have ruined me, for keep the church win
dows in repair by the year"

ANT1DoTE AGAINST SoRRow.-The safe
and general antidote against sorrow is gen.
eral employment. 1t is commonly observ-
ed that among soldierf and seamen there
is little grief, though much kindness; they
see their friend fall without any of that
lamentation which is indulged in security
and idleness, because they have no leisure
to spare from the care of themselves; and
whoever shall keep his thoughts equally
busy, will find himself equally unaffected
with irretrieyable losses.

EVIL ASSOCIATES.

Did you ever think that you are doing
good or evil to those about you all the
time, even when you think nothing about
it? The very smiles or fronws on your
face; the very tones of your voice; much
more, the words you speak, and the acts
you do, exert an influence, good or bad, on
all your associates. How fretful child in
the morning jars the whole family. 1t is a
terrible thing for boy to have bad as
sociates. Besides his bad words, he will ex-
ert an influence every hour and moment he
is with you, even when he least designs to
do so.
Harry Clyke used frequently to call for
Ben Smith to 60 on errands with him. Ben
was not good boy, but he always had the
best whistles of any boy about, so Harry
liked to be with him. He always had q
pocketful of marbles, too, which he had won
from poorer players, and that should have
been enough to make Harry shun him. A
boy who plays mables for keeps is in a fair
way to become o gambler when he grows
up. Ben was sharp enough to know that
| if he swore and stole before Harry he would
leave his company at once. So he behaved
pretty we'll for him. Still, his unconscious
influence was all evil. He could not see a
dear little bird on the fence without aiming
stone at it, and I am sorry to say he
sometimes hit it. By and by Harry would
also pick up a stone and try his skill. Lit
tie by little he learned to pursue the poor
toads that crossed his path, and hunt them
to death with sticks and stones. 1t was
very easy after he had seen his companion
do it dozen times, to put his hand through
the fence, and pick handful of berries in
neighbor's garden. So he went on from
bad to worse, until Ben said it was not
necessary to disguise himself any longer.
He was fast becoming as bad boy as him.
self.
Boys, beware of evil example. 1t speaks
louder than words, and you learn faster
from it. If you see boy do what your
mother has taught you it is wrong to do,
shun him as you would a viper. A boy
who is cruel to any of the helpless creatures
God has made, is not boy to be trusted in
anything.-Presbyterian.
