WHICH is THE BEST T?
FOUR HUNnRED THOUSAND


of their Machines in use, although having ex-
listed but sir gears, while the Company which
claims to have the most in use has only about
| twice that number, though having existed for
t,eenty years. They are now manufacturing
over six hundred daily, or one per minute,
and at that rate can hardly supply the de-
mand.
Very many persons are in need Of q first
class Sewing Machine, yet do not feel quite
ready to pay the fun price ut once, and are
sometimes led into purchasing an inferior ma
chine at less cost, because a 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,
and sometime | will get better" 10 all,
both high and low, wewould sny When you
seecta Sewing Machine you should be rs
particular as you need to be in selecting u
family horse. See that II has reputation
unexceptonal see that ii is made for enditr-
ance see that it is sound; see that ii is always
ready 10 go; see that il has no bad tricks; see
that it can do all kinds of work see that it
is in good health, Sc that it will not need con-
slant doctoring; see that you get one you can
depend upon TO do all the work, and do it
just when you need il done and above all don't
buy balky horse, nor bdikV machine
poor Sewing Machine is worse than none,
and constant source Of trouble. Many Of
what are called settling points in machncare
simply frivolous, and intended to tickle the
fancy Of those who are sold. II s no great
il can walk on three legs, and so useless tricks
in Sewing Machiue should be avoided -
Substantial excellene:es only can stand The
test Of time and use The Howe Machine has
stood the test aud to-day over four hundred
thousand are insuse throughout the civilized
world. II is not sold al an ddraace Of
Fifteen Dollars over New York Prices,
like some of its competitors, but is offered on
sucn easy terms that persons of moderate in
come can obtain one by paying small monthly
instalmcnts, and thus in time become pos
sessed of machine that ls not cheap in any
sense Of the word, but one that will earn its
cost many times over, and be constant source
of relief aud comfort.

TIE BRAUfIFUL SNOW REVIEWED.

THE BEAUTIFUL SNOW REVIEWED.
IT'S pleasant 10 talk of the beautiful snow
As yon Sit In your parior, and look oil the
street,
Near ,!sS bright glowing fire. which servants at
With son cushlsnsd chair, and a stool fol
your feet.
IT'S pleasant to look At the beautiful SNOW,
As 1t fits past your Window and falls In the
Whilst you smoke your havannas, or sip your
champagne,
In.yo,r Office, or library, In quiet retreat.
IT'S pleasant to read Oft the beautiful snow
Covering the earth, with her mantle OF white,
As you sit by the graie on clear winter day;
Most surely the snow Is beautiful sight.
But when you are travelling, long way from
home,
On cold winter s night on delayed train,
With the fires all out, and your fuel all gone,
The beauty OF snow fakes, Is not very plain.
When the engine is struggling to move on the
track,
And planGing through drifts, fully three feet
in height,
Sometimes pressing forward, sometimes sliding
You scarce can believs-it Is beautiful
sight.
drlft,
With the Temperature rapidly approaching
IT'S very hard thing to make you believe
That you ever have spoken Of the beauty Of
snow.
Bot when you are forced by the cold to re-
treat
And plunge through snow drift In search OF
rail,
A log, stump or chips, to make up the fire
Your visions Of beautiful snow will all fail
But when you've felt round for an hour OF
more
~, In vain, for rail- log, stump or stick,
Then you'll smash up the seats to I'LL up the
Whilst thought of the beautiful snow makes
you sick
Then you vow and declare (and perhaps even
swear.
That the Poet tells what Is not so,
When he says that on earth no beauties COM
pare,
With the earth clad iu beautiful snow.
"fhe boy on his sled, as he glides down the
hill,
Wont ag1ee;wlth me nOao. l well know,
But when he grows older, and sees what have
seen,
He'll, ne'er pray for tho beautiful snow.
The miss OF sixteen, ,snugly wrapped up in furs,
As she sits close beside her first beau
In an elegant sleigh, with fine praneing steeds,
Will, no doubt, see great beauty In snow.
But when she gets married, (fso lucky she be,
To the store and the market she'll go,
As she wades through the drifts, and slips Ia
the slush
She'll then change her views about snow.
1t may be very pleasant to read and to talk,
Or to sing, or to write about snow,
But to plunge through drift on cold winters
night,
win dispel all Its beauties, know.

DolT Now.-Don't live single hour OF your
life without doing exactly what Is to be done in
it, and going straight through ii from beginning
to end. Work, play, study-whatever it is
take hold at once and finish 1t up squarcly and
clearly; then TO the next thing, without letting
an moments drop out between. 1t is wonder
full to see how many hours these prompt people
contrive to make of day; it is as If they picked
up the moments that the daudlers lost And
il ever you find yourself where you have SO
many things pressing upon you that you hardly
know how to begin, let me tell you a secret
Take hold of the very first one that comes to
hand, and you will find the rest all fall into file
and follow alter like company OF well drilled
soldiers; and though work may be hard to
meet when 1t charges in a squad, it 10 easily
vanquished ifyou can bring it into line. You
may have often seen the anecdote of the mar
who was asked how he had accomplished SC
much in his life. "N1y father taught me-" wa:
the reply, "when had anything TO do, to gt
and do it." There Is the secret-the magic
