of roo stitches per minute on Ladies' and

1t will close seams with heavy silk in leather
tighter, without puckering, than any machine
we know. 1t will close leather seams with
Marshall's Cabled Thread at above speed equal

We believe it will prove very durable ma

I have settled 81 the top Of hishead he

I but felt that be bad been warned in g
dream
After breakfast next morning, which
was Saturday morning, he went hastily
to hunt up an elder Of the church, e
whom he related bis dream, and insisted
that he must Be wound up every satur-
day morning, Or be could not run till
Sunday. The elder pshawed AZ such az
absurd idea, but gave him good talking
to, and TINT afternoon he missed bis Gus
toulary spree After that, every satur
day morning he went to an elder and got
wound up. This continued aboutayear,
when one Saturday morning he could
find neither elder nor minister. All had
gone off to meeting Of the synod. he
was III great distress That afternoonhe
got drunk, went home cursing and swear
ing, broke three chairs and an the china,
turned bis wife out Of doors, locked the
door, and went to bed with his boots on.
The police did not take him that time,
but he remained at home His wife, who
knew and pitied his frailties, crept back
through d window after he was asleep,
and lying down beside him, slept till her
usual time Of rising and goingabout her
morning duties.
At six o'clock, when she went to wind
him up for breakfast, she found he had |
run down forever. His heart had ceased |
to tick. Neigbbors were called in. He
was cleansed for the last time, and laid
away on shelf till the judgment day,
when he would have to meet all the lame /
cog wheels, marred spings, golemn-paced
pendulums, and the faces, hands and fig
ures he forced to lie 90 sinfnIIy during
his lifetime.
a monument was erected over him in
the form of clock, with the hands
shaped like human arms and hands the
hour hand pointing to 6, and the minute
hand to ~, to preserve the time Of his
leath, and also, by happy coincidence,
o indicate the doubt his friends were in
is to what had become Of him. Ifone
land missed the other would hit.

He would then SO to church, and, after

The different editions of the Sun

The daily edition will on week days
be a sheet of four pages, and on Sun

edition will he a sheet of eight pages
Of the same dimensions and character
that are already familiar to our

The Sun will continue to be the
strenuous advocate of reform and re-
trenchment, and of the substitution of
craftsmanship, wisdom, and integrity
for hollow pretence, imbecillty, and
fraud in the administration of public
affairs. 1t will contend for the gov
eminent of the people by the people
and for the people, as opposed to gov
eminent by frauds in the ballot-box
and in the counting of votes, enforced
by military violence. 1t will endea-
vor to supply the readers-a body now
not far from million Of souls-withI
the most careful, and complete and
trustworthy account of current events,
and will employ for this purpose a
numerous and carefully selected staff
Of reporters and correspondents. Its
reports from Washington, especially
will DO full, accurate, and fearless;
and it will doubtless continue toI
deserve and enjoy the hatred of those
who thrive by plundering the Treasury
or by usurping what the law does not
give them, while it will endeavor to merit
the confidence of the public by defend
ing the rights of the people against the
encroachments of unjustified power.
