A Western jury brought 10 a verdict

If the best man ia the world only knew

Somebody is advertising preparation

her dress IN the present fashion. and
have it known that she has no money.

Cheap Things.

One Of the worst mistakes which can
be made is to purchase an article because
1t is cheap, Very many persons are iii
need Of frst-class Sewtag Machine, yet
do not feel quite ready to pay the full
price at once, and are sometimes led into
purchasing an inferior machine, at less
cost, because machine of some kind is
really needed in every family. And then,
again, some say, 81 will get me a cheap
machine now; it will perhaps do my
work at present, and will learn to run
a MACHINE, aud sometime | will get a
better" To all, both high and low, we
would say when selecting a sewing ma
chine you should be as particular as you
need to be in selecting family horse -
See that it has reputation unexceptions
al; See that it is made for endurance
see that it is sound; see that it is always
ready to go see that it has no bad tricks;
see that it can do all kinds of work /; see
that it is in good health, SO that it will
not need constant doctorjngj see that you
get one that you can depend upon, to do
all the work, and do it just when you
need it done and above all don't buy u
balky horse, nor balhy machine. A
poor. sewing machine is worse than none
and constant source Of trouble Many
of what are called selling points in a ma
chine are simply frivolous, and intended
to tickle the fancy Of those who are sold.
1t is no great recommendation in horse
for family use, that it can walk on three
legs; and so useless tricks in a sewing
Machine should be avoided Substantial
oxcellencies only can stand the test of
time and use. The Howe Machine has
stood the test, and to-day four hundred
thousand are in use throughout the civil
lied world. Mr.. l.. EAGLE, agent, Rock
vile, offers this machine on such easy terms
that persons Of moderate income can OBJ
tain one by paying sm| monthly INSTALL
ments, and thus in time become possess
ed Of machine that is not cheap in
any sense OF tue word, but one that will
earn its cost many times over, and be a
constant source of relief and comfort.

1Doctitol.
THE YOUNG WIDOW.

She is cunning -sometimes witty,
Free and easy, but not bold;
Like an apple, ripe and mellow,
Not too young, and not too old
Half inviting, half repellant,
Now advancing, and now shy;
There is mischief in her laughter,
There is danger in her eye.
She has studied human nature,
She is schooled in every art,
She has taken her diploma,
AS the mistress of the heart
She can tell the very moment
When to sigh and when to smile;
Oh, maid is sometimes charming,
But widow all the while.
Are you sad oh, then how serious
Will her pretty face become
You are angry she is wretched,
Saddened, friendless, fearful, dumb,
Are you mirthful how her laughter,
Understanding, will ring out.
She can lure, and catch, and play you,
AS an angler does a trout
All ! old fossils, nearly fifty,
Who are plotting, deep and wise
Ye Adonises of twenty,
With the love-light in your eyes,
You may practise all the lessons
Taught by Cupid since the fall,
But we know little widow
Who can win and fool You all

STARTISd IN THE WoRLD. Many an
unwise parent labors hard and lives
sparingly all his life for the purpose Of
leaving enough to give his children
start in the world as ii is called. Set
ting q young man anoat with money left
him by his relatives, is like tying blad-

him to swim and he will never need tho

him. See to it that his morals are pure,
his mind cultivated, and his whole ma
ture made subseryient to laws that gov

A BIRD STORY A pretty incident is
related of a canary bird. The door of
the birds cage was occasionally left open
that he might enjoy the freedom of the
room. One day he happened to alight
upon the mantel shelf, whcreupon was a
mirror. Here was a new discovery Of
the profoundest interest. He gazed long
and curiously at himself. and came to the
conclusion that he had found mate -
Going back to his cage, he selected a
seed from its box and brought it in his
bill to the stranger. In vain the canary
excrtcd himself to make his new found
friend partake, and becoming weary of
that, tried another trick. Stopping back
a few inches from the glass, he poured
forth bis sweetest note, pausing now and
then for reply. None came; and he,
moody and Disguised, flew back to his
perch, hanging his head in shame and
silence for the rest of the day, aud, all
though the door was repeatedly left open,
refused to come out again.

The funniest breach of promise case in
modern times has just been tried in Eng
land. The hero, finding his ardor cool
ing, and desiring to brighten his betrotled
into breaking the engagement, told her
he was greatly distressed by palDitation
of the heart. She did not seem inclined
to believe him, 50 he went to a doctor
for medical certificate Of bad health
What he received did not suit him, and
he applied to another physician, who was
more open to the influences he brought
to bear. Armed with this certificate he
visited his lately adored, and, as he sup
posed, presented it to her. But unfor-
tunately he gave her the wrong certii-
cate, and it was read at the trial. The
doctor declared that the heart trouble
was not serious, that at the age Of the
applicant he might hope to recover from
it, and that matrimony would be likely
to do him good. Damages $500.

DR.. Chalmers says: 1.-The little that
! have seen in the world and known Of
the history of mankind teaches me TO
look upon their errors in sorrow, not in
anger When ! take the history of one
poor heart that has sinned and suffered,
and represent to myself the struggles
and temptations passed through, the brief
pulsations Of joy, the tears of regret,
the feeblencss of purpose, the scorn Of
the world, that has little charity, the
desolation Of the SOULS sanctuary, and
threatening voices within--health gone,
happiness gonc--I would fain leave the
erring soul of my fellow-man with Him
from whose hands it came.

COAL STILL ON THE RIsR.-The trade con-
tnues very active, and prices are firmer, both
by retail and wholesale. There is more dispo-
sltion, we think, all round to " accept the stu
alton" and TO lay in coal, instead of persistenty
lighting the coal combination. The season l.
too far advanced to hope for a change in the
present coal programme. The London Adver-
tiser, speaking of its own home trade, saws the
report OF the committee on coal may i'm 1noffi-
eial language, be summed up in three lines ::
We do not know how coal came to rise to its
present price. and we know still less how it can
ever be brought down again" This remark,
with little variation, will apply to the anthra-
cite coal trade here. The price of coal is higher
than II was at this time last year. but we do not
see how it can be brought down within the
short time intervening to the end of the wear
Demand for the commodity is steadily on the
increase, and Is likely to continue more urgent
with each succeeding ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
