army In the capacity OF we: nurse at Tus-

through all their subsequent campaigns.
She bore with patience all The nAsigues Of
the march, and more than once displayed
signal callantry on the field of battle. She
was wounded at Atlanta. and again at Dal.
las. but recovered from both and returned
TO duty. AT the close of the war, she left
the regiment at Beaufort, South Carolina.
and came to Clinton ria New York, thus
adding still further TO the range of her ,rav.
el and her experience of the world. The
closing wears of her life were passed in this
city AMID the peaceful retirement of private
lie and surrounded by the care and atten.
tlon which her patriotic services so richly
metited. The story of her services and ad-
ventures has been told by many tiresides in

THE FUTURE LIFE.
by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
How shall know thee in the sphere which
keeps
The disembodied irits Of the dead,
When all of thee that time could wither sleeps
And porishes among the dust we tresd2
For shall feel the sting Of ceaseless pain,
If there I meet thy gentle presence not;
Nor hear the voice love, nor read agnin
In thy serenest eyes the tender thought.
VIII not thy own meek heart demand me there :!
That heart whose fondest throbs to me were
given.
Ny name on earth was ever in thy prayer,
And wilt thou never utter it in heaven
In meadows famed by heavens life breathing
wind,
In the resplendence of that glorious sphere,
And larger movements Of the unfettered mind,
Wilt thou forget the love that Joined us here? !?
The love that lived through all the stormy
past
And meekly with my barsher nature bore,
And deeper grew, and tenderer to the last,
Shall it expire with life, and to no more7
A happier Lot than mine, aud larger light,
Await thee there for thou hast bowed thy
will
In cheerful homage to the rule of right,
And lowest all, and renderest good for i'll.
For me- the sordd cares in which dwell,
Shrink and consume my heart, as heat tho
scroll
And wrath has left its scar--tbat fire of hell
Has left its frightful scar upon my soul.
Yet though thou wear'st the glory of the sky,
Wilt thou not keep the same beloved name
The same fair thoughtful brow, and gentle eye.
Lovlier in heavens sweet climate, yet the
same?
Shalt thou not teach me, in that calmer home,
The wisdom that learned so i'll in this
The wisdom which is love-tll become
Thy fit companion in that land Of bliss.

These Machines, by their simplicity, durability and
the great range of work they execute
have gained reputation truly
enviable.
The famous success of the SINGER MANUFACTURE
ING COMPANY has stimulated many other compan-
les to put forth all their energies and talents to
produce sewing machine that would eclipse or
naIly failed, as is plainly shown by the fact, that of
all the travelling agents-"runners or drummers"
OF other companies, none have the assurance TO
claim more than an equality with the Singer, even
upon any special class of work.
There are many sewing machines, now offered to
the public, that have their good points, and are of
much assistance to the housewife and the industri-
Gus seamstress. Parties purchasing sewing ma
chine of any sort, find the Improvement on the old
fashioned way of sewing by hand so great and
pleasing, thai they are naturally, but enormously,
led to believe that they have the best until the spell
is broken by the Introduction of the Singer Of 1870
into neighbours family, which is sure, by the in
creased rapidity and ease with which it does every
kind of plain or fancy sewing to awaken them to
positive. although it may be silent acknowledge
ment of the painful truth that there are very many
varieties of work that are easily executed upon the
Singer, but that they must either be content to do
without, or exchange, at IA heavy pecunary sacr-
fee, their Curved-needled, Tall-powcred, unrelia-
ble-tensioned, low speeded or ravel-stitched ma
chine for Singer -,e@ Family Mdchiae
Various eXpcdients are resorted to, that the pub
lie eye may be turned from the singer for the Lmr-
pose of introducing inferior machines-viz, The
Button-Ilole Dodge" The over scanning " The
ed Loop" "Self-A ADJUSTING Tensions" Hing FINS
and Beautifully Ornamental straight Needle"
Seca Feed Rnnn iaS
Feed" and last and worst of all. the low-priced-
Family shuttle Machines"
Many of these points are desirable, {and the
Singer eNcells all in each individual speciality but
the greatest made Of these special points, is by
the retail agent who parades them before the mex
perenced purchaser with such fluent and earnest
style to entirely divert attention from the really
important bearings of the case. While other inno-
cent local agents ignoranly represent that the ma
chine sold by them is capable of doing every varie-
ty of work, equal to the Singer, and often do they
thus unconsciously swindle customers who cannot

THE OLD HOUSE.

There's spot tina, love- there's home that prize
Far better than any on earth;
1t is bound TO my heart by the hottest ties;
And prize, oh how fondly its worth
IT'S not beauty nor splendcr, endears it to me,
oh, no for its grandeur hath flown;
But tits fond affection that binds me to thee,
My old house-rny dear happy home
Oh home--what dear magic is in that sound;
How closely it speaks to thy heart;
What a world of deep tenderness in thee is iounu'
Oh who from such treasures could part~
Could barter the joys of a sweet home Oh love-
For path in strange world unknown.
Could seek for vain pleasures and hearessIy rove
If they knew the real value of homer
Some sigh to be wealthy, some seek to be great
Some envy what others can do;
But oh Pm content in my lowly estate,
For the hearts all around me are true;
And ties that are nearest and dearest to me,
And hearts that are truly mine own,
With fondest affection now bind me to thee,
NV old house-my dear happy home.
