A WoMAN's QUESTION.

Am / or am not to be free, like
the balance of my sex? Still, after
my wanderings, the fact comes back
to me, stares me full in the face. Like
Banquo's ghost, it will not down.
Like all facts, it is exceedingly stub
born. Disguise it as will, Wreathe
my chain with flowers as may, / am
still slave. Let me toll, ever so hard
from the first faint dawn of day till
the evening stars shine out, yet the
great mountain is never peIceptibly
diminished. l put aside the claims
of society. l ignore my tastes and
preferenceS-more easily / confess
than l ignore my half-blind eyes and
aching head-stitching on and on. L
resolutely shut my eyes to the bloom
ing beauties of spring, and resist the
strong temptation to go out into the
blessed country away from the dust
and confusion of the streets, still my
work-basket is crowded to overflow
ing. And why all this? Why toll
and stitch from morning till night,
and until the town-clock warns US of
the midnight hour, when A. SUMNER
is furnishing the Wheeler Il Wilson
Sewing Machine on terms so easy that
any family, no matter how poor, can
obtain a machine? Oh, if my dear
husband would only loan me fifteen or
twenty dollars to make the first pay
ment on a Wheeler & Wilson Ma
chine, / could more than pay him
back in one month. Besides doing
my own sewing, L could, with a ma
chine, make from one to two dollars
every day of nay life, and attend to
the Claims of society, too. A. SUMNER,
S56 second street, opposite Court
Square, the first to contribute SO large
leasing his machines with the privil-
ege of purchase, is still furnishing the
Wheeler & Wilson Machine on terms
to suit ali who desire sewing ma
chine.
