The Best sewing Machine

In the world Is to be found at Leppelman's.
1t sews sole leather, cloth, and the finest fall
RIGS equally well. It has a self, adjusting ten
sion, which requires no change in changing
threads or in sewing different thieknesses. It
viii sew over thick seams or uneven places,
drawing the thread perfectly, without missing
1t hens, fells, braids, cords, quilts, tucks,
rufT1es, embroiders, and stitches beautifully
It has neither grinding cams nor grinding cog
wheels, but, by simple arrangement OF me
cbanical power, the least possible friction and
great durability IS attained. 1t runs easier
than any other machine, wastes no thread and
makes no noise; does not get out OF ORDER and
is so simple that child can run it. No other
machine can compare with it in these essential
points. The space under the arm is oAe-5alf
greater than that Of any other family machine
1t has a direct and very powerful action, and
its range Of works covers that Of both family
and manufacturing machines of other eompan-
les. 1t Will sew with all kinds of thread
from the coarsest linen to No 200 cotton
without change OF tension. In short, it is the
most perfect machine yet made We would
advise such OF our readers as intend buying a
sewing machine, to call and see this remarka-
bic one before buying. Orders and cores
pondenoe win receive prompt attention. Ev-
cry machine warranted for five years.

Manufactures. And that subscription demon
strates that capital employed in manufactures,
always returns heavy interest to the capi-

Or, is their capacity exclusively employed in

Dead Beats in NewspaperdOm.-Th
following from an exchange is as applicable to
this locality as to that for which it was writ
ten: "The public corporations, societies and
associstion, generally, have a funny notion
about printers. They think we ought to print,
puff and publish all for nothing-that is, 4free
gratis" in other words, they seem astonished
If we ask half price for an ordinary notice,
card OF thanks, tribute of respect, personal
communication, or anything else that only Inc
terests few persons, and not the general
reader. Religious meetings, temperance
lectures college enterprises, associations-in
short, everything in which portion Of the
public is interested, must be done free. Thus
the burden and expense Of all such notices to
the public is borne, ordinarily, by one or two
men in q community, as if done Tor their own
benefit. They think it costs no money to ad-
vertise, puff, etc. And thus one and another
will sponge. They forget that Irinters ink
makes them part of their immense fortunes.
They forget it takesmoney to pay compOsitors,
to buy ink, type and paper; and lastly, they
even forget to thank you for working for them
for nothing by gratuitOusly putting their busi-
ness or serving the public. Did you ever hear
anybody or any corporation thanking an editor
for what he has done? Guess not We print
for money to make living. Persons will
therefore govern themselves accordingly"

Flower Beds.-Just now is the time to
Law out plans for outdoor work among the
flowers this year. And there is just one thing
to be avoided Do not lay out plans on too
large a scale. A few flowers, especially If they
be choice ones, well cared for, are better than
a wilderness OF half watered, half weeded
tangled beds. OF some kinds, verbenas for in
stance, there should be plenty, that there
may be a few in the vase on the mantle or on
the tea table every day. But the ambition to
count up the greatest number of varieties Of
roses or tulips with less regard to their ez-
cellence is q mistake.

some YEARS since a poor but talented
gentleman Of the medical profession conceived
the idea that if he could produce a medicine of
universal application and extraordinary merit
and make 1t known he could not only enrich
himself and escape the drUdgery Of ay Phsic-
ians life but also benefit the sick III greater
measure than by his private practice. He
therefore consulted with the best Physicians
he could find and he result was the produc-
ton of the Judson's Mountain Herb Pills, a
famous and most successful medicine He be-
gan in a small way to make the Mountain
Herb Pills known by advertising them and
such was the value Of his Pills that IN a few
years he had not only amassed a torture but
had that rare satisfaction for a rich man, of
having relieved the sick, and benefited his
fellsw men IN every part Of the country, as
thousands OF greatefui testimonials could
prove. The Judson's Mountain Herb Pills
have cured Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint,
Female Irregularities andal Bilious disorders
This little sketch serves both to adom tale
and point a moral, DIR. Judson's Pills were
meritorious and the Doctor himself knew the
value Of printers ink. Sold by all dealers.

late venerable John Childs, who died
a few days ago had an old tom-cat,
which he had petted and fed ever
since it was small kitten, and they
had been inseparable companions
and much attached to each other.
During the last sickness ofMr. Childs
the cat remained in his room nearly
all the time, and refused to partake
ofany food toward the last. On the
morning after his death, old Tom,'
appeared determined to enter and re-
main in the room which contained
all that was mortal OF his best friend;
and it was with difficulty that the an
imal could be kept out. He persisted
in remaining at the door, and moaned
there until member of the family
removed the unhappy feline to de
partment ofthe cellar, and fastened
him there. On entering The cellar
to give poor Tom some food, he was
found stretched out stark and dead.
