SEWING MACHINES.

and would respectfully invite all those war ting
frst-class machine to call at our Office and exam
inc the different kinds of machines now on exhi-
bition. If you want Buckeye machine, If you
want Florence machine, if you want Wheeler
4 Wilson machine, if you want Singer machine,
if you want an American machine, or if you want
to exchange machines, or If you want your ma
chine put ih good running erier, call aud see us.
We are always ready and willing to show

tion. &s~ Oil and Needles kept constantly on
hand for sale. Old machines taken in exchange

We wish to employ good, reliable agents to sell
the Buckeye Sewing Machine, the best selling,
the simplest and most durable shuttle machine
this coast. Liberal Inducements offered. For
particulars address,, MINER PEARSON.
Eight Reasons why the Buckeye Sew
ing Machine il Superior to all Others:
/. 1t is the simplest shuttle machine made.
2. It bas less wearing parts,
3. 1t has no small springs and compound
cranks.
4. 1t is better adapted to u large range of work
without change.
5. 1t has less pieces of machinery.
6. 1t is less liable to break needles than ary
other machine
Z. The Shuttle will wear longer than the
shuttle in any other machine.
s. That il has the best Feeding device, which
will never out, get out of order, break nee-
dies. feed unevenly, slip on siarched goods. or
pueker the seam, so that one part of the fabric
will come shorter than the other, which all
other feeds liable to do. 1t makes every
stitch of an equal length. 1t il stronger than
other feeds. We can take a strong piece of cloth
and put one end in machine and the other
end in any other machine, and guarantee that our
machine will take the cloth from the ether. in con
sequence of the superior strength of the feed.
1t is the only feed strong enough to feed thick
sole-leather, sewing on shoe s"lcs. No soaping
the cloth any other aid is required.
It has complicated machinery. and therefore
is not liable to get out of order. 1t has beaut-
full movement, making nearly two Thousand
stitches per minute.
The BUCKEYE SEWING MACHINE makes
the lock stitch. the the Howe, Wilson,
Singer and FL ,rence-alikc both sides. We

for aRy machine on this euast that will make
stronger elastic ieh than the BUCK

After Them Strongly,

The New York Daily advertiser gives
the following from an address delivered
recently in New Jersey by Catholic
Priest, which will commend itself at once
to every friend of total abstinence
"The Rev. Father Hennessy, pastor of
st. Patrick s Church. Bergen City, deliv-
cred a terrible and bitter sermon on Sun
day last, dwelling his thunderbolts against
the gin-mill keepers, and the lukewarm
and Indifferent Catholics of his mission.
During his discourse he said, ~ am going
to get list of all grog-shOps and gin place
proprietors, and if they don't close their
houses every Saturday night at twelve
o'clock, and not open them until Monday,
/ will not allow themselves, nor their wives
to come near this altar. They must give
up their unholy work. Let them be con-
tent with selling groceries. 1t is better to
make fifty cents day honestly and justly,
with the blessing of God upon it, than ten
dollars day with the curse of God upon
it. Remember that the money gained in
this dirty work will not profit you long,
twill vanish like the froth on the river.
You are carrying souls to destruction and
ruin ; you are robbing the widow and the
orphan, the poor and needy. Cease, cease
your work then, and resolve to get an
honest and decent living"

Small pOX,

Small pOxiis a disease which inspires a
feeling of dread in the mind of every per-
son. Not only is it lOathsomein its char
acter, but generally fatal to life. Aeon
fury ago such was its effects that it threat
ened to depOpulate the European CONT
nent. The discovery by Jenner of the
efficacy of vaccination as a preventive of
contagiOn from small poX very soon effect
ed a revolution in regard to its ravages.
1t has become an established fact,
that vaccination is as effectual a pro-
lection from it's contagion, as small
pox is itself. 1t has been decided
by those who have devoted much
attention to the subject, that a thorough
vaccination during infancy, and revac-
cination at about the age of twelve or four
teen, will, as a rule, protect a person from
contracting the disease if exposed. Now,
let us consider how many children in this
city have never been Vaccinated at all.
Then, when we know that, if any unprO-
tected person of any age, sex or condition
in life is exposed, there is danger to life,
and, if life is spared, the face pitted for
life, how strange that people should neg
lect so small matter. Parents owe it to
their children, as an act of sacred obliga-
ton to place them in circumstances be-
yOnd danger from what we all will admit
to be an object of dread.
In some of our large cities small pox is
raging most fearfully. Hundreds are dy
ing every week in Philadelphia at the
present time Before this community is
aware the epidemic may be in our midst.
Besides the obligation of personal and
direct nature, we owe it to the business
interest of the city, to avoid any such
contingency. A small pox panic will be
as detrimental to business as any other

One of our citizens went to the cars to
see his daughter off. Securing her seat,
he passed out of the car, and went round
to her window to say parting word, as is
frequently done on such occasions. While
hewas passing out the daughter left the
seat to speak to a friend, and at the same
time prim looking lady who occupied
the seat with her, moved up to the win
dow. Unaware of the important changes
inside, our venerable friend hastily put his
face up to the window and hurriedly ex-
claimed: lone more kiss, sweet pet.n In
another instant the point of blue cotton
umbrella caught his seductive lips, follow
