Money can buy many things, good and
evil. All the wealth of the world could
not buy you friend, nor pay you for
the loss of one. 81 have wanted only
one thing to make me happy" Hazlitt
writes, "but wanting that have wanted
everything" And again: "My heart,
shut up in a prison house of this rude
clay, has never found, nor will it ever
find, heart to speak to-
We are the weakest of spendthrifts if
we let one friend drop off through mat
tention, or let one push away another, or
if we hold aloof from one petty jealousy
or needless slight or roughness. Would
you throw away a diamond because it
pricked you? One good friend is not to
be weighed against all the jewels of the
earth. If there is GOODNESS or unkindli-
ness between us, let us come face to
face, and have it out. Quick before love
grows cold! ellie is too short to quar-
rel in,'' OF to carry black thoughts OF
friends. If L was wrong, [ am sorry :;
not grieve for my friends misfortune /?
and the mending OF your fault does not
lie with me, But the forgiving it does,
and that is the happier Office. Give me
your hand and call it even. There it is
gone; and l thank a kind heaven L keep
my friend still! A friend is too precious
a thing to be lightly held, but it must be
little heart that can not find room for
more than one or two. The kindness |
feel for you warns me toward all the
rest, makes me long to do something to
make you all happy. 1t is easy to lose

calling, nor make u -or an old one when

Profits ON Patent Sewing Ma.
chimes.

The organization of large sewing
machine company-capital, five hundred
thousand dollars-is being agitated at
Chicago, for the manufacture of the
Scotch machine. The following state
ments in regard to the past and present
progress of the sewing machine business
are furnished by the protector of the new
enterprise: rGc5 9.f., .-7s O. -
Up to 1860 there had been manufac-
tured and sold in the United States only
about 104, 900 machines of all kinds. In
that year, the total number made was less
than 30 900 machines, of which Wheeler
& Wilson made 21,000; Grover & Baker,
10000; Singer & Co., II 900; Wilcox &
Gibbs, $500; all others, about 5000.
The business was then in its infancy,
still $5,000O00 were invested in the man
ufacture; and these leading manfactu-
rers have, since that date, so increased
their great establishments that in the
year 1870 there were turned out more
than 100000 machines, half q million
in a single year, and yet the demand
could not be supplied. 1t is stated as a
fact, that orders came in upon these fac
tories much faster than, even with all
their facilities, they can turn out the ma
chimes.
In 1870 Singer &c Co., made and sold
the enormous aggregate of lac, 900 sew
ing machines, and the others kept up
their proper proportion.
These companies have their own facto-
ries and their own machinery, and do all
their own manufacturing, and the cost
at which a complete machine can be put
upon the market, in working order,
ready for sale, would be surprising to the
uninitiated. But if Singer & Co. only
realized $40 profit on each machine.
(Which is less than half the real profit
on the cost then the dividends in 1870
must have been 1 400 1000, or ten per cent
on a capital of 1000, 900, all Of which
has been accumulated within ten years.
At the same rate, the profits on all the
machines sold reached the great sum of
So, 100000. But it is probable that the
sum of $40 does not amount to more
than the third of the profit on a single
machine.
These machines have not only become
a necessity in every family, but they are
largely used in all the factories of boots
and shoes, clothing, hats and caps, ETC.,
so that the merely domestic demand does
not amount to one-fourth part of the en-
tire trade; some of the large factories of
New York and New England have in
constant use from 200 to 1000 machines
each. In the State of Massachusetts, in
Eaton weekly Democrat. [volume] (Eaton, Ohio) 1866-1875, 1871-06-29

the manutanture of boots and shoes
alone, $15,OO0,O00 are annually saved by
the use of the sewing machine; and in
New York city, the clothing manufactu-
.rers save yearly more than $l2,OOO,OOO in
the same manner, and this applies with
equal force to all of the various branches
of trade where the use of the needle is
required.
There is no limit to the demand for all
first-class machines; and it has been es-
Iimated that before the expiration of the
next ten years, 100000 sewing ma
chimes per annum will be required.
1t is generally understood by the pub
lie, that sewing machine companies have
made large fortunes; but we doubt ii
the facts are not sufficient to show that
the dividends declared by the companies
making the most popular machines, have
been much larger than the most eXtrava-
CANT ones outside of the ring have sup
posed.
The old companies accumulated their
vast capital of millions out OF the profits
of the business, and the principal COM
panies have declared and paid dividends
for years, of from rs to 400 per cent.
upon their capital stock, besides accumu-
Iating a reserved fund of an equal or
larger amount, for the extension of their
works and the general business of stock
ing their branch offices throughout the
country.
Of the value of stock in the principal
companies, we would illustrate by stat
ing the fact, that the par stock in some
| of the best companies five years old can
| not be bought for $500 per cent. pre-
MUM, and the value is entirely unknown
! to the outside public.-[ Scientific Anaeri

The brain of the murderer Ruloff
weighed fifty-nine ounces, which is nine
or ten ounces more than the average
weight of the brain, which is about fifty
ounces. The heaviest brain ever weighed
was that of Cuvier, the French natural
ist, which is given by some authorities at
sixty-four ounces. The brain of Daniel
Webster-partly estimated, on account
of portion being destroyed by disease
weighed siXty-four ounces. The brain
of DIR. Abercrombie, of Scotland, weigh
ed siXty-three ounces. The lower, brute
portion of Ruloff-s brain and the me-
chanical powers were unusually large.
The upper portion of the brain, which
directs the higher moral and religious
sentiments, was very deficient in Ruloff.
