SEWING MACHINES.

Among its many points Of excellence may be
mentioned that it is the only lock-stitch machine
that has its needle self-setting. The needle cam
not be set wrong.
It has a shuttie-carrier that obviates all fric-
ton Of shuttle, rendering the machine nearly
noiseless.
1t has self adjusting bobbin-winder, requir-
ing no change to wind the bobbin.
Combines all the latest improvements, having
no wires or spiral springs connected with Its
working parts.
1t has positive thread controller and tension,
requiring no change in sewing from the finest to
the heaviest material.
The new patent shuttle is the most convenient Mt
and perfect working shuttle in use. The tension
does not change from q full to an empty bobbin.
Il is SO easily operated that it requires littl 2
instruction, and there is nothing in it to get out
of perfect working order. It will stitch, hem'
felt, bind, cord, gather, quilt, hem stitch, ON,
broidcr, braid, SC, with as much beauty and
perfection as any machine before the public.

And you were seventeen.
Your voice was low and sweet. Maggie.

Your check was like the wild red rose
That showered its petals down:
Your eyes were like the blue spcedweU,
With dewy moisture sheen.
When was one-and-twcnty. Mag,
And you were seventeen.
The spring was like our hearts. Maggie
And all our hopes were ours:
And we We're children in the fields,
Among the opening flowers
Ay! Life was ike a summer day
Amid the woodlands green.
When ] WAS one-uud-twenrv. Mag.
And You We're seventeen.

With sunshine and with shade.
