Having made tho following changes in the
Howe, and believing that they have now reach
ed tho highest point Of perfection, we would be
pleased to show them to all.
1st-The arm being longer, thus giving more
room to handle the work, and making it better
adapted for all classes OF work.
2d-The Tensions being arranged as to re-
quire less threading, also being 80 constructed
that it will give perfect tension and never get
out Of adjustment.
3d-The pressure on the pressure foot being
20 arranged that it can be changed instantane-
ously from the highest to the heaviest pressure
thus saving the trouble Of turning slow screw.
4th-FOOt litter being arranged in front of
the head, with pressure down, which gives
both motions for rising and turning out Of the
way, 80 as to give entire free access for thread
ing and setting the needle.
5th-PreparatOry for taking up all lost motion
Of the pressure foot 80 as to prevent it from
getting loose and making frequently a stitch
sideways, this spelling tue perfection of the
work.
6th.-The Head of the machine being adj
Unstable by merely turning screw, 30 the
needle can always be kept close to the shuttle.
which will prevent any missing Of stitches.
7th.-The Drawer being hung on a pivot in
such q manner as to be peri ectly handy. and ia
SO constructed that 1t cannot be got out OF Or
der.
oth-Ihe Treadle is set on scale rivots, and

leaves it free from friction and rafting.

and stitches it on the right side, and in turn
ing hem for ruillng it holds it's own work
The most complete hemmer ever invented

LOVES YOUNG DREAM.-They tell a sto-
ry about a girl up in Bethlehem, who wished
to rid herself of q persistent lover So, when
he used to come around in the evening, she
would ask him if he wouldn't please help
John to carry the piano up stars, and he
would take off his coat and work like brig
AIDE of Irshmen until it was time to go home.
Then the next evening, as soon as he called,
she would say wouldn't he please help John
to carry the piano down stairs again? and at
it he would 60 lifting and pulling and burst
ing blood vessels, until the hour arrived for
departure. This kind Of thing continued tor
about week, when one night he got the piano
down as far as the first landing, and tie COR
ner fell on his toe Then he coniiIed to the
faithful John his secret conviction that Loves
Young Dream was fast assuming the charac-
ter Of a most disgusting and oppressive night
mare. Leaving the piano there. he went
down to ask his ensaver to say 6nay and
forever Just where she wanted that piano to
be fixed. He was surprised to fad upon en-
tsriug the parlor hat another young man was
there-a young man with mild eyes aud spec
taeles. And there that young Ran had been
every night, while he was moving the furn-
ture and cherishng visions Of bliss 1t occu-
pied exactly four minutes, and whea the COM
batants were with drawn the pianist rushed
from the house, singing Beware, she's fools

decorated with spectaclcs might have been
seen lying on the sofa. feeling Que OF his mild
eyes to find how much it was swelied.

Rising il the World.

You should bear constantly in mind that
nne-tenths of US are, from thc very nature
and necessities Of the world, born to earn our
livelihood by the sweat Of the brow. What
reason have We, then, to presume that our
children are not to do the same IF they be
as now aud then one will be-endowed
with extraordinary powers of mind those
powers may have an opportunity Of develops
ing themselves aud If they mover have an
opportunity, the. harm is, not very great to US
or to them.
Nor does it hence follow that the descend
ants of laborers are always to be laborers =
The path upward is steep and long, to be sure.
Industry care, skill, excellence in the pre-
sent lays the foundation of a rise unuer more
favorable circumstances for the children.-
The children of these take another rise and
by-and-by the descendants of the present la
borer become gentlemen.
This is the natural progress. 1t is by at
tempting to reach the top at a single leap
that so much misery is produced in the
world and the propensity to make such at
tc,npts have been cherished and encouraged
BY the strange projects that we have witness
ed Of late years, for making the laborcrs vir'
tuous and happy by giving them what is call
ed education. The education / speak of con-
sists in bringing up children to labor with
steadincss, with care and with skill to show
them how to do as many useful things as pos
sible to teach them how to do them all in
the best manner; to set them an example Of
industry, s6briety: cleanliness and neatness;
to make all of these habtual to them; so that
they shall never be liable to fall into CONTRA
ny practices to let them always see good
living proceeding from labor, aud thus to re-
move from them the temptation to get at the
goods Of Others by violent or fraudulent
means, and to keep far from their minds all
the inducements to hypocrisy and deceit.

Col. James Randolph, the Chief Engineer
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad compa-
ny, is now preparing to throw a number of
Engineering parties on the greatest work ever
undertaken by that compauy-the Baltimore
Pittsburg and Chicago Railroad. Mr.. Ran
dolph has been appointed the Chief Engin-
eer Of this Road, and will promptly proceed
to organize full corps of Engineers, SO as to
locate the entire line rapidly, in order that
the work may be commenced at various
points at an early day. Great enthusiasm
exists along the proposed line, and large sub
scriptiops are offered by parties living in diff
ferent localities, conditioned on the route be-
ing located as they desire The citizens Of
the town of Canton, Ohio, have rendered a sub
scrption of 100000 as an nducement to
make that place point.
The comprehensive schemes Of Mr. Gar
rett are certainly destined to make Baltimore
the active rival Of New York, in competing for
the trade of the west The recent magnificent
undertaking, which was successfully accom-
piished, of changing the guage of the Ohio and
Mississippi Road, running from Cincinnati to
St. Louis, and making it conform to the guage
Of the Baltimore and Ohio Road, ard its con.
nee ions, thus giving an uninterrupted line
from Baifi,uora to St. Louis under the con-
troll Of the Baltimore and Ohio company,
consurnmated benefit to the city Of Balti-

With thebe two great arms reaching to the
entrepots Of the produce Of the Mississippi
and Missouri valleys and the Lakes. and pour
ing th;r rich treasures into Baltimore, the
future Of that city opens with q grandeur
and prosperity and wealth rarely voucflsafeI
to any city in the world. We expect to see
in the next decade the population and com

stitution by purchase, and was turned oyer to
the care Of Forepaugll as subject bound to
give him much trouble. Every effort to tame
or eonciliate the beast had entirely failed, and
Forepaugh was laughed at when ASSERTING
that he would break 10 the royal bengal

did rot come until last week, when the BEAST
tanner announced his readiness to undertake
the task No man but alanoney had ever en-

excitement in the town about it, because 1t
was no:sed abroad that Satan was to con-
euer or be conquered. Hundreds Of people
rushed to the tent, but only two or three
newspaper men were admitted, as Forepaugh
did not want TO excite the beast more than
was necessary. Satan was first given a
good square meaI," 10 order to put HIM In
humor, and then FoYepaugh took of his coat
and made ready for business. Men to the
number Of eight Or ten were armed with iron
rods aud sharp-pointed instruments, and sta
toned on either side Of the cage. and Fore

the jury could not be separated. The hus

infant to the mother This was also refused,
on the ground that the law does not permit a
thirteenth person in a jury room, and there
is no statute to show that an infant IN arms
is not ''person" within the intent and nean
