THE NEEDLE.

The invention of the needless ascribed
by the best authorities to the natives of
India. 1t was first introduced from that
country into England in the year I545.
1t was then very costly instrument
It was not generally used, however, un-
til some fifteen or twenty years after
wards. From that time to this, it has
been as extensive a means of employ
meat and support as tho plough or an
vii, and yet has produced an untold
amount Of misery. Strange does it
seem that mere line Of steel, held in
n woman's delicate fingers, should pro-
duce such poignant suffering. Yet in
great cities-where wealth demands all
that ministers TO luxury and pride-the
needle is a mightier weapon than the
sword, and keencr instrument Of tor
ture than the glittering spear. 1t eau
ses more nerves to quiver with anguish
and the death it produces is slow and
lingering. With its little arrow of steel,
it opens an entrance into the human
flesh for almost every form of disease
and every kind of pain. 1t is not alone
the fingers and eyes that suffer, but
there is fearful waste of nerves and
brain. Itbends the chest and stiles the
lungs, preparing the way for coughs
and consumption. But thank to the
inventive power of human genius and
skill. n machine is now taught to do the
work of human fingers, and with its
swiftly flying wheels il achieves the Ia
Dor of many hands. The world-rc-
nowned Howe Machines can be- obtained
on such easy terms that every one, no
matter how slender their means NAV lie
can obtain one Call on the Agent,

And Ger our heads the years have rotied,
And people call us rather old;
I'm sure il don't seem so to me,
You re sixty-one. I'm six;y-ihree-
II really don't seem IL 'twas 50,
But when the children pass US by,
They always say bout You and !,
There's Aunt Jenneite aud Uncle Joe.
All, well, God will soon call us home,
And then in heaven We shall roam,
And wife, perhaps il will be so.
You'll look like Jen, I'll look like Joe.
Then we'll commence our love once more,
As happy as in days Of yore,
For these were happy days you know
Aud swee, and joyful il will be,
To live throughout eternity,
As bonnie Jen and loving Joe.

the greater amount Of powder he put in
his gun the greater would be the execu-
ton. and in this he was not. IN one
sense, mistaken. SO he put ten good
brimming drachms Of powder, with a
proportionais quantity Of shot. in each
barrel. and sought his game. He found
an excellent shot (it is always the luck
Of your green sportsmen). and, crawling
up, stretched himself Hat upon his stom-
ach. took preliminary squint along the
sights, and shutting his eyes, fred. He
only fred one barrel. but the other fired
itself. Then ensued the spectacle Of a
man lifted from the earth, whirlsd over

buzz saws, and then the thud OF fall

yards of from the scene OF casualty.
The man eventually succeeded in picking
himself up. and found on examination.

A loving hand for the whole brown earth
A garment OF beauty has spun:
