chant tailor, or any other tailor ever uses loop
stitch machine but double threaders only.
Why don't taors use the Wilcox & Gibbs
Machinei Answer-because it makes the loop
stitch and lift gets unlooped at the end of the
seam, the seam will pull open without breaking
the thread. Try it, and then you will know why
tailOrs don't use them.
But the Wilcox & Gibbs agent told us it made
the twisted loop" stitch, and a "fast seam" and
that it was "frst class machine, and run very
still, and it cost $65 with a small cover and Bar
mum self seam.
Did the agent make you believe it made fast
seam? Yes; and he proved it by cutting off
part of the stitches on the right side and then it
would hold to pull hard upon, straight across the
seam.
So will the seam of any of the little cheap loop
stitch machines if managed just in that way, but
that does not hinder the seam pulling open, ifit
happens to get unlooped, neither does the high
price that you paid for it, nor its running still.
nor its twisted loop, make 1t any safer than the
work of machine that costs but SIS. The twist
is only to twist $25 or $50 more out of your
pocket than you ought to pay for them, thinking
that you are getting fast stitch machine when
in fact it is only loop stitch, as is well known,
is liable to let your garments part asunder at
times when you would choose to be clothed rath.

"Well, the first time wore it, one of the bias
ing seams in the waist pulled open. One stitch
broke and then enc side pulled off. leaving the
loops of thread in the other side. Now. will
never have another stitch of work done on it,

hemmers TO turn the hem up or down, and they
will fell, braid bind, tuck, and embroder, and
run from twenty thicknesses of heaAy cotton
cloth on to one thickness of fine muslin, without
changing thread, needle or tension, and the New
American will make nice, strong button holes,
and do oYerseaming, making the over edge
stitch, and it runs much stiler than any of the
old style shuttle machines, and the shuttle is
very easily threaded and regulated. 1t costs

would sooner buy it if it cost SIR times much,

letter to Judge Ba rret, 81 regard it far ahead

certainly think it very silly to pay great price

Tragedy.

The sun was settin' like a hen
Upon his western nest,
And if he wasn't purity red,
Why, then, may be blest,
Young Samyule Pod-old Podses SON
Was loOllin' at the sky,
When from the COW yard back of him
There came female cry.
Upon the bosom of the fence
Reclined Jerushew Dow,
While at her cum, with hidgus roar,
A ramparageous COW.
"Oh, laws massy! help me, Samr'
Jerushy did exclaim;
And Samyule drawed his jack-knife forth,
And then put back the same.
"Sweet maid,' he said, cOurageOusly,
"Just hold the critters horns,
Or else when 1 cum up she'll be
A treddin on my corns!''
She quickly smiled her gratichude,
When swift the varmint stoops,
And in a moment had Miss Dow
A hangin' by her hoops.
Then Samyule's latent dander riz,
And with fearful frown,
He seized heavy sistern pole
And knocked the old cow down.
The eonkerin' hero dropped his pole,
And flew to where Miss Dow
Stood leanin' up agin the fence,
A yellin' at the cow.
Sez he, . Jerusey, promise me,
Before agin we part,
That you will take the name of Pod,
And ease my achin' heart'''
Sez She, q Mr.. Pod Sir, if you please,
And if you must know all
I've promised Alexander Bangs
To marry him next fall
Poor Samyule paused to hear no more,
But burst out into goans,
And pulled his hair, and scratched his self
And tore his pantaloons.
The dark duck pond invited him,
He plunged beneath the wave,
And with grown upon his lips
He sank into that grave.

Jesuit Missionaries.

The Jesuit missionaries, with un.
doubted heroism, made their way into
the dark places Of the earth. They
founded a fourishing settlement in
Brazil that seemed for a long time full
Of delightful promise. They half con-
yerted the Japanese; they ruled at
Pekin and made the Chinese acquain-
ted with western science; they pene-
trated to Ethiopia; they softened the
savages of Canada and Illinois; and
they proved their sincerity and hero
ism by a thousand arduous exploits.
Yet a similar i'll fortune seemed to at
tend all their enterprises, and China,
Japan, America, Ethiopia once more
repelled with bitter hatred the oppreS-
sivc sway Of Rome. A multitude of
pious and earnest Jesuits, whose pure
and holy lives have been sacrificed in
vain, have labored and died in savage
wildernesses, in heather cities, in ma
larious jungles and in icy solitudes
but the intrigues and vices of their
Italian masters have uniformly de-
stroyed the fruits of their martyrdom
and self devotion.
With their home missions the Jesu.
its were more successful. Here, too,
they strovc to unite arms with letters,
and to plant their free schools in the
heretical north by diplomacy and the
sword. They stecled the heart of
Charles V-if indeed he ever posses.
sed one-against his protestant sub
jects; and he was soon induced to
commence a bitter war against the
heretical league. At the battle of
Muhlberg, where the Germans were
routed and overthrown, Bobadilla ap
peared in the front ranks of the Cath
olic forces, mounted upon a spirited
steed, waving his cruciix on high, and
promising victory to the imperial
cause. The Protestants fled, and soon
in all their terrified cities fonrishing
Jesuit colleges sprang up as if by ma
gic, and thousands of children were
instructed and confirmed in the Wis
ions of Loyola and the DEGREES of the
Council of Trent. The Jesuits made
admirable teachers. Loyola was re
solved to make his colleges splendid
with erudition and genius. AT Rome
he gathered around him the most &C
complished professors, the most abun
dant learning; and he lavished money
in profusion to provide fine buildings
libraries, and all the apparatus Of let
ters. The most intelligent scholars
were noted, rewarded, encouraged
every promising genius was snatcheC
from the world and devoted to tht
cultivation ofinfcrior minds; a severe
and perfect discipline prevailed in al
his schools; and it is chiefly as teach
ers that the Jesuits won their lasting
triumphs in the German cities. Thei
free schools educated the rising gen
GRAFTON, and the Protestants, who hat
heretofore possessed all the literatur,
Of the age, soon found themselves me

uistry OF the Jesuit scholars. A re
action took place, and Germany seem
