THE BEST SEWING MACHINE IN THE
WoRLD.-As the Sewing Machine is
fast becoming family institution, we
consider it our duty to call the atten-
ton of our readers to Leppelman's
Famous Improved Domestic. If half
that is said of this Machine be true, it
is undoubtedly the Best Sewing Ma
chine for all purposes now before the
public. 1t will sew any thing from
two thicl1nesses of sole leather to the
finest Nainsook. It viii use any kind
of thread from the coarsest linen to
No. 800 cotton. 1t makes a perfect
stitch over thick seams or anduneven
surfaces. 1t viii sew from one to forty
thicknesses of muslin without change
of stitch or tension, and is always ad-
iusted for any kind of goods, heavy or
light. 1t hens, feIls, braids, tucks,
embroiders, quilts, cords, rufiles and
stitches beautifully. 1t has neither
grinding cams nor rattling cog
wheels, but by a simple arrangement
of mechanical power the least possi-
bic friction and the greatest durability
are obtained. 1t runs easier than any
other machine, makes no noise, and
is so simple that child can use it,
No other Machine can compare with
it in the essential points. The space
under the arm is fully one halfgreater
than that of any other Family Ma
chine. 1t has direct and very pow
erful action, and its range of work
covers that of both Family and Man
ufacturing of other Companies. In
short, it is the best and most perfect
Machine yet made, and is warranted
by written warranty for five years
any wear or breakage that may occur
within that time will be made good free
of charge.

INVERSION the 2Ith ult., Mrs. Emma f.
Myers, wife Of the late VIM. l. Myers, aged
20 years, months and u days.
Death stands upon the sands OF time,
His mission is of power divine,
And here and there he plucks his flowers,
Transplants them to eternal bowers.
He visits man Of every age,
The infant, youth, and veteran sage;
His arm by none can be dehed,
His power by none can be denied.
Yes, he has come on wings of white,
And taken one, to heaven-so bright;
Her body lies in deaths dark tomb,
Her spirits gone to its home, so soon.
A mothers hope, a fathers pride,
Has left them for the other side,
And they go sorrowing on the earth,
While she sings loud Of new birth.
A brothers love, sisters prayer,
Could not make deaths strong arm to spare,
But low, at deaths great gate she fell,
And happy now, for all is well.
She thought OF him who had gone before
To dwell with Jesus evermore;
And with the angels, hovering round,
Her little While, too, was found.
Her mortal frame was cold and chilly,
Yet could she whisper, Little Willie;"
'sFor there she stands in angels throng,
And hark! how beauteous is their song"
But now her eyes are closed in death,
Her spirit, at the parting breath,
Had sailed, on angel wings Of love,
To bright and joyous realms above.
But who can describe that meeting?
Three happy souls each other greeting,
In Canaan IS bright and happy land,
Where now they safe, immortal, stand.
But hark! methinZs hear a sound,
1t goes the spacious earth around.
It Is the joy OF heaven expressed,
ave shall no more be sore distressed"
Weep not, dear friends, for Emma's gone
To that bright home for which we long;
This world TO her was naught but dross,
For all her hope hung on thescross.
Then drink at mercy's fountain, clear,
Its waters flows freely to cheer
The hearts Of those 50 weak and weary,
While life seems so dark and dreary.
| Oh, let us live with heaven in view,
Soon must we this world bid adieu,
And there, how happy we shall shall be
When friends and Jesus we shall see.

Edwin Weber VS.. The Atlantic & Pa

in Court on Friday last by a jury, a
verdict Of 50, 800 was given the Plain
tiff. The case is follows:
In the spring Of 1870 the Atlantic &
Pacific Telegraph Company ran line
from Springfield to Lagonda, by max
ing a loop or bend in the line. The
wire crossed the Mad River Railroad
about a mile north of Springfield, and
the wire had become slack so that il
was but about fifteen feet above the
track. About the 18th Of June, the
Plaintiff was employed as brakeman
On a freight train. On his first trip up,
when near where the wire crosses the
track, he went forward on the train to
set the brakes and was returning when
the train passed under the wire. The
wire came in contact with his breast
throwing him to the ground and the
train passed over his leg crushing it to
the knee. The leg had TO be ampu-
tated. Suit was brought for damages
and the above given verdict rendered
The attorneys for the Defendant filed
motion for setting aside the YER

The Line Fence.


Old farmer Smith came home in milf
From his field the other day,
While his sweet little wife, the pride of his life,
At her wheel was spinning away.
And ever and anon, gay little song
with the buzz of her wheel kept time,
And the wrathful brow is clearing now,
Under the cheerful rhyme.

And listen to what say;
What can do but quarrel brew

I've built my fence, but he won't commence
To lay single rail; -'
His cattle get in, and tho feed gets thin.

And you know, long ago, law wronged me 50,

In thc Mountains.

In the fall of 1856 | was travelling
eastward in stage coach from Pitts
burgh over the mountains. My fell
low-travelers were two gentlemen and
lady The oldest gentleman's ap-
pearance interested me exceedingly
In years he seemed about fifty; in air
and manner he was calm, digniied
and polished, and the contour of his
features was singularly intellectual
He conversed freely on different top
les, until the road became more
precipitous but, on my directing his
attention to the great altitude of a
precipice, on the verge of which our
coach was leisurely rolling, there came
a marked change on his countenance.
His eyes, lately filled with the light of
intelligence, became wild, restless, anx-
ious-the mouth twitched spasmodi-
cally, and the forehead was beaded
with a cold Precipitation. With a
sharp, convulsive shudder, he turned
his gaze from the giddy height, and
clutching my arm tightly with both
hands, he clung to me like drown
ing man.
use this cologne said the lady,
handing me bottle with the instinc-
tive goodness of her sex.
I sprinkled little on his face, and
he became more composed; but it was
not until we had entirely traverscd
the mountain, and descended into the
country beneath, that his fine features
relaxed from their perturbed look,
and assumed the placid, quiet dignity
that / had at first noticed.
Il owe an apology to the lady said
he, with bland smile and a gentle in
clination of the hand to our fair com.
panion, 7and some explanation, and tc
my fellow travellers also; and perhaps
l cannot better acquit myself of the
double debt than by recounting the
cause of my recent agitation
III may pain your feelings delicate
ly urged the lady,.
'On the contrary, it win relieve
them,' was the respective reply.
Having signifed our several desires
to hear more, the traveller thus pro
ccedcd :CGU2u r. q
AT the age Of eighteen | was light
of foot, and 1 fear (he smilcd) light Of
head. A fine property on the banks
of the Ohio acknowledged me sole
owner. I was fastening home to en-
Joy it, and delighted to get free from
college life. The month was October
the air brocing, and the mode of con
veyance a stage like this, only more
cumbrous. The other passengers were
fcw--only three in all--one grcy-heod
ed planter of Louisiana, his daughter
joyous, bewitching creature abou
seventeen, and his son, about ten years
of age. JLibttI
They were just returning from
France, of which country the youns
lady discoursed in terms so eloqucn
rs to absorbc my entire attention.
The father was taciturn, but tn
daughter was vivacious by nature, ar'
