DOUBLE LOCK ELASTIC STITCH
GOLD MEDAL
SEWING MACHINE.
For Simplicity IT has no Rival.

The Inventors having made this branch of me-
chanics their special study for many years, be-
lieve they have succeeded in producing Sewing
Machine, which, for use in the family or manu-
factory cannot be excelled. 1t combines the
Greatest Simplicity in Construction, with
the Greatest Ease, Certainty and
Durability in Operation.
A comparison with any of the numerous ma
chimes in the market is respectfully solicited.
The Gold Medal makes less noise than any
other two thread machine while in operation
The trouble often experienced in setting the nee
die in other machines is avoided in this, as the
needle is set without difficulty. This is a feature
of great value as every operator well knows.
The power of its driving machinery having
been greatly increased, has increased its speed
in operation, and better adapted it to the heavier
classes of work. Several other Improvements
have been made, such as the manner of holding
the spool, regulating the tension, operating the
treadle, etc., each adding to the value OF the ma
chine. 1t is put up in every style desired, from
$40 to $lC0.

TESTIMONIALS.

Having purchased and used the Gold Medal
Sewing Machine, sold by +. 2. Cheney, we find
it strong, sure worker, and, although it is sold
at much lower figure than the old style ma
chimes OF the same size and capacity, we consid-
er 1t a great Improvement on them, being supe-
riOr and stronger, and consequently more easily
understood and operated, and more durable. 1t
makes the Grover & Baker stitch. which is the
strongest, and most reliable seam made for Mems
CT )thlng and TOR dress and cloak making, and
will not (ikc the work Of some of its compett-
ors) pull open by getting uulOosened. We cheer
fully recommend this new machine to all who
desire a first class machine, combining all the
points in the old style ones, with essential i'm
prOvementS, and new model which in beauty
of design surpaSses them ALL 1t is just the thing
for family sewing machine, and only needs to
be known to be appreciated.

A QUEER PEOPLE.

The more we see and hear. of the
Chinese, says a WeIl-informed author
lty, the more singular do they appear
to us. In some respects they are ia
vorable specimens of high civiliZa-
ton; in others they are right down
idiots. Their remedial processes in
cases Of illness and their post mortem
ceremonies are absurd to the last de-
gree. We are told that when Chi
naman is i'll one of his friends goes to
the temple of the god Of medicine,
familiarly known as the g DOCTOR"
and having first tickled the idols ears
to secure its attention, proceeds to
rub that portion of its bronze and
wooden carcass corresponding to the
afflicted part of the invalid. He then
takes up, in q red paper, some ashes
taken from censer burning before
the image, and carries them to the sick
persons room, where they are WOr-
shipped daily until the latter RECEIVERS
or "iolns his ancestors" AS it is
supposed that his disease is caused by
the enmity of some departed spirit,
ten men are hired to become "secu-
rity" for the patient. These ten
bondsmen guarantee TO the defended
tenant of the land of shadows that
the invalid shall do nothing further to
offend him, in case he is permitted to
recover. If he dies, the ten kings
of hell" are respectfully informed of
his decease, with a view of propitat-
ing their internal majesties. In fact,
coaxing, wheedIing, bribing, and
cheating the powers diabolical seems
to be the principal objects Of all Gee
lestial" devotees. They have an eye
to economy, too, in their ceremonies
| for their benefit of the dead. BelieY-
ing that the deceased may need funds
and clothing in the other world, and
that it will matter little in q future
state whether his bank account is kept
i'll redeemable money or the queer,
whether his garments are silk or shod-
DIV, they sacrifice at his shrine forged
paper and mock raiment. This is
treating both the departed and the
gods rather shabbily, but it saves ex
pense, and is supposed to answer the
desired end. The Chinese are so fon6
of trickery that they take infinite
pleasure in " shaving" the ghosts o
their friends, and all the deities and
demons. Despite the disgusting alb
surdities of Buddhism and Taoisn, th'
two principal religious creeds of th'
Chinese, we must not call them bar
barians. They had printed literature
when our progenitors roamed thu
wilderness clothed in the skins O
beasts, and are said to have made gun
powder before the age of iron hat
commenced in Europe.

StinulantS.

George d. Prentice, who, accord
ing to all accounts, ought TO be pretty
familiar with what men usually term
stimulants writes thus truly and beau
tifully:
"There is O time when the pulse
lies low in the bosom and beats low
in the veins, when the spirit sleeps,
which apparently has no waking,
sleeps in its house of clay, and the
windows are shut, the doors hung in
the invisible Grape of melancholy ;
when we wish the golden sunshine
pitchy darkness, and wish TO fancy
clouds where no clouds be. This is a
state of sickness when physic may be
thrown to the dogs, for we wish none
of it. What shall raise the spirit
What shall makesthe heart beat music
again and the pulses through all the
myriad thronged halls in the house OF
life? What shall make the sun kiss
the eastern hills again for us with all
his old awakening gladness, and the
night overflow with moonlight, love
and flowers? Love itself is the great
est stimulant, the most intoxicating
of all, and performs all these miracles
and is miracle itself, and is not al
drug store, whatever they say. The
counterfeit, is in the market, but the
winged God is not a money charger
we assure you.
Men have tried many things, but
still they ask for stimulant.
Men try to bury the floating dead
of their own souls in the wine cup
but the corpse rises. We see theil
faces in the bubbles. The intoxieatiol
of drink sets the world whirling again
and the pulses to playing music ant
the thoughts galloping, but the clocl
only runs down sooner. and an un
natural stimulant only leaves tn
house it filled with the widest re
velry, more silent, more sad, more de
serted.
There is only one stimulant tina
never intoxicates-duty. Duty put
a clear sky over every man into whic
the skylark-happens, always goe
sinuing."
