PULL YOUR OWN WEEDS,

If you've weeds in your garden, my friend, I
pray,
Do not stand looking over tho fence,
To your neighbours domnions-just over the
way
Your weeds are the most consequence:
Uproot them, while yet there is daylight to
work,
Tear them up, seed and branch, from the soil
They are sure to do mischief so pray do not
shirk;
Youth be amply repaid for your tol.
This advice would apply to the garden of life
IT'S so seldom we see our own weeds
For watching our neighbor or, worse yet, his
wife,
And counting their many misdecas,
We pass our own follies, our faulfS we disguise
In the garments of selfish conceitl
We're ever perfection lin our own eyes,,
Our neighbor may take back seat.
Let us pull our own weeds, and work with q
will,
While yet there is one to be found,
Nor point over the way in derision until
We have carefully TILED our own ground;
For watching the fruits of others we
Not the ones in our own hearts so rife:
Let us pull for ourselves, let others weeds be
Till we clean our own garden of lite.

TO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA.

TN PRESENTING TO YOUR NOTICE, FOR
4 the fist time in an extended way, the +. +
(FAM1LY FAVORITE) WEED SEWING-NIA-
CHINE, we will state some of the reasons why
we think we justified in claiming it to be the
BEST: .#
BECAUSE, before being offered to the people,
it was tested by able sewing machinists, and by
them SO pronounced; #
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
Paris Exposition in 1867; .E.# - - a
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
four weeks contest between sewing machines at
the Baltimore (Maryland) Institute in 1869;
BECAUSE, it will do what any other first
class locssttch will do; ..ae#
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 unsuppled; and last, but not least,
to give woman's reason, .r.. ..r aa-sgs- ID.
BECAUSE, it is just little darling" and so
easy to learn. 81.
Price the same as any other first-class machine.
Sold on the instalment plan, if desired.
Machines sent ON trial and instruction given
free.

count of the great four weeks contest at Balti-

This implement we introduced into this mar
X ct in 1870, and it's success is best attested by
appearance it closely resembles the Routt Pillow,
but it is of lighter draft, and has differently
ranged shares. We find them, from actual trial,
to be superior to all other plows for cultivating
corn, potatoes, nurseries, gardens, &C.:
First-It saves labor blowing two burrows at a
time, finishing one row each round, having made
four complete burrows.
jSecond-1t is more durable, its frame being
made of wrought iron; it has no rod coulter,
will not clog or choke in foul or weedy ground as
other plows do; is light of draught and easily
managed, only weighing thirty eight pounds,
leaves the ground in better condition, destroys
the weeds and grass effectualiy, and pulveriZes
the ground completely, causing it to hold it's
moisture in dry seasons. .ss s..sE.s..s... N.
