FAMILY SEWING MACHINE

TTNH E. 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 an enumeration Of their rela-
tive excellencies sno longer eonside
Our new Family Machine, which has been
brought to perfection regardless Of time, labor on
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
COTTON THREAD, and sewing with equal "a.
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, cording, tucking,
Quilting telling, trimming, binding, &C., are novel
and practical, and hsYebeen inVanted and adjust-
ed especially for this machine.
New designs of the unique, useful, and popular
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 necessarily limited ad-
vertisement; and we therefore urge every person
in quest of Sewing Machine by all means to ex-
anime and test if they can possibly do 80, all the
leading rival machines before making purchase.
A selection can then be made understandingfy.

Machines will be found in nearly every city and

EVILS OF Tea AND CoFFEE.-When DR..
Dodge, an eclectic physician, was lecturing
on the evils of tea and coffee, he happened
to meet, one morning at the breakfast table,
q witty son of Erin. Conversation turned
to the doctors favorite subject, and he ad-
dressed our friend as follows:
"Wel," said the doctor, eff [ convince
you that they are injurious to your health,
will you abstain from their use p
"Sure and I will, sir
"How often do you use coffee and tea?''
asked the doctor.
''Morning and night, sir
sWell," said the doctor, edo you ever
experience a slight dizziness of the brain
on going to bed?
81 do, indeed, sir, replied Erin.
"And sharp pain through the temples,
in and about the eyes, in the morning?'
"Troth, do sir"
"Well," said the doctor, with an air of
confidence and assurance in his manner,
ssthat is the tea and Coffee"
''Is it, indeed? Faith, and I always
thought it was the whiskey 1 drank
The company roared with laughter, and
the doctor quietly retired.

HOW HANCOCK LOST HIS BREAKFAST

HOW HANCOCK LOST HIS BREAhFASI'
The following little anecdote is taken
from one of the regimental histories. The
narrator is talking on the interesting sub
ject of rations:
They were scarce with us-so much so
that some of the boys bought of other regi-
ments. During this scarcity Blake hap
pened to be on guard at Hancock's head
quarters. He was pacing his beat very
industriously in front of the Generals tent,
about daylight, when the General rolled out
of bed and came to the door. ...

els it true rations are scarce p
eyes, sir"
s'You haven't enoug h?"
ssNo, sir"
Chow many have you? Half enoug h? ?"
81 think so, sir.
"Well it's d-n poor soldier who can't
steal the other half
With the last remark he went to bed
again, while Blake renewed his labors.
Before long the cook began preparing
breakfast. One thing after another was
put on the table in the mess tent, and final
ly plate of hot biscuit. While the cook
returned to the kitchen, Blake stepped up,
emptied them into his haversack, and re-
sumed his walk. Breakfast was announced,
and the General went in. He had not been
there long before he called the cook to bring
in some bread. The cook told him he put
hot cakes on the table. Some conversation
passed between them, and the General
Stepped to the door and watched Blake
very closely. Blake walked his beat ap'
parently unconscious of any one being with
in mile. Finally the General called
corporal, relieved Blake and sent him te
his quarters. He had twenty-eight biscuit
in his haversack.

A GREEN WITNESS.

About ten years since young man Of
good character hired horse from livery
stable to ride out to little town about
twenty miles distant. Unfortunately, abou.
half way out, the horse was taken sick and
died. The livery man sued him for the
value of the horse, representing that the
horse had been killed by fast driving. One
of the young mans witnesses rather green
or supposed to be, and who had a peculiar
way of talking very slow,) was called to the
stand and questioned thus by the proprie
tor:
"You are acquainted with the prisoner
at the bar ?"
"Y-a-a-s," livery slowly drawled out.)
"How long have you been acquainted
with him ?"
"About three years"
EsWell, sir, please state to the court what
kind of reputation he bears as regards fast
or slow riding on horseback p
"W-a-a-l, / suppose if he was riding with
company of persons who rode very fast
and he did not want to be left behind he
would ride fast too. And if he was riding
with company that rode very slow and hi
did not want to 60 ahead alone, suppose
he would ride slow too.''
Judge (very much enraged) )-"You seen
very much inclined to evade answering
questions properly. Now, sir, you have
stated how the gentleman rides when ht
rides in fast and slow company. Now sir
l wish you to state to the court how th'
gentleman rides when he rides alone p
"W-a-a-l, having never had the pleasur.
of riding with him when he was alone,
don't think | can tell
