THE BUSTiE.


The Georgia Peoples Press has some
lines on seeing a lady with fashionable
protuberance. They have the true spirit
of Swift. The following is the conclusion
When nature first produced the Fair,
'Mong other things, it was her care
(As the fair form in beauty grew
TO shane the back both straight and true;
Except indeed, when in a whim,
some uncouth dwarf or monster grim,
She fayors with n swelled sack,
perched high in honor on the back
Bat in these days of wond'rou light
Taste rises in her power and might,
And disappearing Natures plan,
She forms a bag of wool or bran,
And where she thinks 4 hump should De,
Straight in that place hump you'll see
The names with which the humps abound
Are full of sense as well as sound
Nothing more dignified, l m sure,
Than Bishop, Bustle, or Iourneurl
And if some sour, old-tashloned dame ace
should tartly ask-''whhts in o name 7!
We'd answer-"that we cannot scan;
But ma am, the thing is tull oil bran
Now listen 10 me, lady dear,
A word I'd whisper in your ear;
Why be so partial to one spot 0.
Why hump one place and others not?
II in the hump such beauty lies,
AS q true friend, I'd You advise
To raise the hump on every place,
And then you'd be all ever grace .. -...
Then, if we beauties wish to find, ...
We need not always look behind

TO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA.

TN PRESENTING TO YOUR NOTICE, FOR
J. the fins time in an extended way, the L.
(FAMILY FAvORITE) WEED SEWING-MA-
CHINE, we will state some of the reasons why
we think we are justified in claiming it to be the
BEST:
BECAUSE, before being offered to the people,
1t was tested by able sewing -machinists, and by
them pronounced;
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
Paris Exposition in 1867
BECAUSE, 1t took the first prize ut the great
four weeks contest between sewing machines AZ
the Baltimore (Maryland) Institute in 1859;
BECAUSE, it will do what any other hrst-
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 a great part of
the country unsupplied; and last, but not least,
to give a woman's reason,
BECAUSE, it is just q little darling" and so
easy to learn.
Price the same as any other flrst-class machine.
Sold on the instalment plan, if desired
Machines sent on trial and instruction given
free.
A history of the sewing-machine and an ac-
count of the great four weeks contest at Balti-
more, sent free on application.
