hardly seven feet over Reeves's bar; and

to sixteen inches below Little Rock, and
is stationary. White river has but thir-
tv-two inches over Little Island bar, and
is falling. Other lower tributaries are
down very low, but rise is expected in
the Ouachita and Red river, but as yet
the prophets have not told US how soon
il will come. Business at the landing
yesterday was duh as it was active the
day previous, there being but two ar
rivals and three departures. The wealth
er moderated very materially, and was
much more pleasant until night, when
it became much cooler. A heavy fog
prevailed the night previous, that ex-
tended for considerable distance both
up and down the river, and delayed
boats considerably.

REMEMBER THY MOTHER

Lead thy mother tenderly
Down lite's steep decline;
Once her arm was thy support,
Now she leans on thine.
See upon her loving face
Those deep lines of care;
Think-it was her toll for thee
Left that record there.
Meier forget her tireless watch
Kept by day or night,
Taking from her step the grace,
From her eye the light.
Cherish well her faithful Heart,
Which, through weary years,
Echoed with its sympathy
All thy smiles and tears.
Thank God for thy mothers love,
Guard the priceless boon;
For the bitter parting hour
Cometh all too soon.
When thy grateful tenderness
Loses power to save,
Earth will hold no dearer spot
Than thy mothers grave.

we think we are justified in claiming it to be the

BECAUSE, before being offered to the people,
it was tested by able sewing-Tachinists, and by
them SO pronounced E
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
Paris Exposition In 1857;
BECAUSE, ii took the first prize at the great
four weeks contest between sewing machines at
the Baltimore (Maryland1 Institute in 1860;
BECAUSE, it will do what any other first
class lock-stitch will do;
BECAUSE, it will do what most of them can
not do. We say this without disparagement to
the merits of other machines;
BECAUSE, in the five years it has been before
the people, the sale has been so rapid that the
company have been unable to supply the de-
mand, thus leaving Virginia and great part of
the country unsupplied and last, but not least,
