With the babe asleep on her quiet breast

AN EXPLANATIoN.-Iti is fact not gen
orally known that all sewing machine man
ufacturers paid license to Elias Howe, Jr.,
the original inventor, and one machine of
each kind for which license was asked,
always accompanied the application. -
Thus, Mr. Howe had before him a sample
of every form of sewing machine manufac-
,tursd. Constant study upon them enabled
lBto avoid the defects efseach, and i'm
prove upon the excellencies of all. This
fact explains the wonderful degree of per-
fiction to which Mr.. Howe brought his
latest pattern sof machine, without which
advantages, such result could not have
been achieved. Call and see these cele-
brated machines at Messrs. Howard & JEFF

A Noble Sacrifice

Among the first who FASTENED to the
relief of the Shreveport sufferers was
beautiful young lady Of Philadelphia,
who was willing to brave even the ter
ror Of death to give aid and comfort to
the helpless victims of terrible scourge
She was Agnes, the daughter of Uni
ted States naval officer deceased, and
was adopted by S. and Agnes Arnold of
Philadelphia, when three years old. At
her noble devotion and
bravery gained for her the title of An
gel Agnes. One night, while walking
with a sick child In her arms, she fell
down stairway and fractured her
spine, and died in great agony. Only a
few days previous her intended hus-
band, who had followed her to Shreve-
port, died with the fever. Both bodies
were taken to Philadelphia for
burial.

Mr.. Silas Bryant of Sherman, has

Financial Prospect.

Although the financial prospect is
Frightening, and business assuming
steadier tone, it is still the duty of every
one to help restore confidence in every
department of business, and to avoid
as much as possible the drawing out Of
banks their deposits, cramming money
into stocking-leg, and thus assist in
still further increasing the tightness OF
money matters.

aBoy,s First z, periesee at School.

When ideas first begin to shoot, like
young plants, they are very tender. The
child's eyes roll out with a wondering
stare as the teacher calls off the letters
Of the alphabet, or spells for him the
small words Of the lesson. The school
room is q strange place, and the new
ness Of the scene and associations either
awe or charm him. His voice in reci-
tation is 80 low as to be inaudible, or
50 high and shrill, as it pipes out the
letters, that 1t provokes the merriment
of the other scholars, which adds to his
embarrassment. But the effect on the
whole is improving, and in few days
he goes to school with interest and con-
ffdence. 1t is amusing to hear his re-
rorts of the doings and experiences
there. His first lessen and the hardest
for him to learn, was to keep his seat
and not talk loud during the session.
But he had learned that by heart now.
His next lesson Is not to whisper nor
tell tales. Both of these accomplish
ments are learned and unlearned at
school-if they are ever unlearned. He
has not got far enough along yet to play
truant; there will be time enough for
that when school becomes distasteful,
and the temptations to play or the en-
ticements Of other boys overcome his
home trained scruples. But there is
danger just now Of his being tardy. He
has not learned t. tell the time by the
clock; and exact hours not yet entered
into his ideas Of importance or necessi-
ty. BE Is also beginning to learn by his
associations with other boys, some Of
whom are older, now to use strange
words, and the difference between tell
ing the truth and telling . lie. Some
time bad transaction occurs: one Of
the larger boys has done wrong and
does not want 10 be exposed; he there
fore threatens the little boys that If they |
tell he will whip them. Another new
and strange feeling now fills the heart
Of the little boy. The teacher, or some
other person whose right IT is, inquiries
for the offender: the eyes of the large
boy are on the SMALL ones; they trem-
BILE; they have been taught to tell the
truth, and they are unaccustomed to
denial. But they are between two fires,
and their fear Of the larger boy forces
them into falsehood. How often during
the following night does the restless
sleep and moans Of the little fellow be-
tray the burden that is on his mind
and how important It is at the time for
some one to seek out and remove the
and correct the wrong impress
sion, that the child may not have the
tender tendencies of his heartperverted,
Or hardened. The first seven years Of
child's life are his most impressible
years, and none but the watchful eyes
Of an affectienate mother can or will
see that the little foxes do not spoil her
tender plant. But school days have
begun, and there now extends before
the child and before his parents long
years Of wearisome and anxious study
and care. All look to see the end al
most from the start; whereas, if all
would give careful attention to the start
they need have but little anxiety about
the end Of school or college days.

BERLIN. NoY. lst. 1873.

MEssRs. EprroRs: A prominent citi-
zen Of New Philadelphia, while blast
ing rock for gold, in California, some
fifteen years ago, was struck in the right
eye by something foreign. He suffered
pain, increasing with years; and after
having the eye operated on, and no re-
lief, it was apparent that the eye must
be cut out. A piece Of steel the size of
a grain of wheat was taken from the
eye after the operation. DR.. S. H.
Brown, NJ. D., of this place, inserted
for him an artificial eye, that appeared
so natural, you could not tell one eye
from the other. rseiH -
! That this steel had remained in the
eye for eleven years, is remarkable! !!
To know that a blind window can be
put in the soul, with natural shutters,
is stranger still! An OBSERVER.
