OF these goods was probably insured, but /
their exact value cannot, of course, be |

FOUR HUNDRED THGUsAHD

OF their Machines in use, although having ex-
listed but sir gers, while the Company which
claims to have the most in use has only about
twice that number, though having existedfor
ftgenty gears. They arc now manufacturing
over six hundred daily, or one per minute,
and al that rate can hardly supply the de-
mand.
Very many persons are in aeed of first
class Sewing Machine, yet do not feel quite
ready to pay the full price at once, and are
sometimes led into purchasing auinferior ma
chine, at less cost, because a machine Of some
kind is really needed in every family. And
then again some say, ~ will get me cheap
machine now; it will perhaps do my work
at present and will learn to run a machine,
and sometime will get better" To all,
both high aud low, we would say When you
select Sewing Machine you should be as
particular as you need TO DE in selecting q
family horse. See that it has a reputation
unexceptional see that il is made for endar-
ance see that il is sound; see that tits always
ready 10 go; see that ii has no bad tricks; see
that it can do all kinds of work. see that it
is in good health, SO that il will not need con-
slant doetoriRg: see that you get one you can
depend upon to do all the work, and do it
just when you need it done aud above all don I
buy balky horse, nor baIky machine. A
poor Sewing Machine is worse than none,
and a constant .source of trouble. Many OF
what are called selling points in a machine are
simply frivolous, and intended to tickle the
fancy of those who are sold. II is no great
recommendation in horse for family use that
il can walk on three legs, and so useless tricks
in a Sewing Machine should be avoided
Substantial excellenc;es only can stand the
test of time and use. The Howe Machine has
stood The test, and to-day over four hundred
thousand are in use throughout the civilized
world. II is not sold at an adrance Of

A Merchant on Farming.

The following is an extract from an address
by Elliot G. Cowdin before the Westminster
IN. W Agricultural society.
ut has beellmg hos, as an active merchant,
to mingle with men in almost every station OF
society, in many of the nations of Europe; and
/ am convinced that no class in any country of
the world is SO thoroughly independent, pos
sess many real comforts, and discomfort con-
nected with their vocation, as the farmers of
America. Always an honorable pursuit, farm
ing is remunerative when properly prosecu-
ted; and asa general rule, it is more univer-
sally successful than any other calling. You
may question this statement until you careful
ly consider it..
, .'Let me say to our young men, be not envi-
GUS of the merchant or the banker of the bust
ling city; but rather bear in mind that of all
who chase after wealth along the slippery paths
Of commerce and finance, scarcely one in
hundred reaches opulence, a few more obtain
competency in season for old age, while nine
tenths miserably fail ere they have fairly star
ted in the race, and, the most part, die poor.
''Neither let our young men be lured from
rural life-its duties and it's dignitaries, its
tolls and its rewards-by the glittering bauble
of the learned professions. Lawyers, physi-
clans and clergymen, at the very best, lead
laborious lives. The great body of, these are
