The Candidate.

Father, who travels the road so late -
Flush, my child, tits the candidate z"
Fit example of human woes
Early he comes and late he goes.
He greets the woman with courtly grace,
He kisses the baby's dirty face,
He calls to the fence the farmer at work,
He bores the merchant, he bores the clerk
The blacksmith, while his anvil rings,
He greets, and this is the song he sings;
"Howdy, howdys howdy-do2
How is your wife, and how are you!
All! it fits my fist as no other can,
The horny hand of the working man.
Husband, who is that man at the gate9"
flush, my love, it's the candidate"
Husband, why can't he work like you,
Has he nothing at home to do :"
"My dear, whenever a man Is down,
No cash at home, no credit in town,
Too stupid to preach and too proud to beg,
Too timid to rob and too lazy to dig,
Then over his horse his legs he filings,
And to the dear people this song he sings:
" Howdy, hewdy, howdy-do2
How is your wife, and how are you2
Ahs it fits my fists as no other can
The horny hand of the working man"
Brothers. who labor early and late
Ask these things of the candidate
What's his reeorda How does he stand
At home; no matter about his hand,
Be 1t hard or soft, SO it be not prone
To close over money not his own,
Has he in view no thieFing plan9
Is he honest and capable a-he is our man.
Cheer such an one till the welkin rings,
Join in the chorus when thus he sings:
ssHowdy, howdy, howdy-do?
How is your wife, and how are you2
All 1t fits my fist as no other man can,
The horny hand of the workingman."

The American Sewing Machine al the

The sewing machine must ever re-
main an important factor In tightening
he labor of sewing women the world
over, and an Indispensable adjunct to
the manufacture OF many Of tho ncces-
sites of every day life. How curious
then, I'm view of all the geod done, its
introduction WAS prophesied to be u
positive harm; that 1t would ruin the
avocati0n Of the very class 1t has helped
the most. What an art 1t has become,
this sewing by machines, and what u
wonderful great range of work Is done
now, rs compared with their first in
PRODUCTION. Only that we are accus-
toned to ii, how marvellous would seem
the operations Of some Of the first-class
machines. by the way, this reminds
us of the wonderful progress the Amer
lean Sewing Machine, manufactured ut
Philadelphia, has made In the cstinla-
tiOn of the public during the last few
years. Many valuable and radical i'm
pr0vements have been made In the
machine which make 1t the perfection
of sewing machine mechanism. The
needle is sclf-setting, the tensions do
not re .uire re-aijusting every time
l,obbin is replaced. II Is strong and
durable, and in ease of adjustment sur
passes everything. All sorts of public
hon0rs, gold and silver medals; from
first prize at the Centennial to the more
humble awards of country fairs and
cxpositions, have been bestowed upon
this machine, and it will, without
doubt, return from Paris with the same
high distinction that has crowned this
Company's former efforts. The affairs
oftle Company arc in able, experienced
hands; gentlemen that lave been long
i'm the business, and who are ccaselcss-
ly working to add further to the merits
Of the sewing machine of the. period.
The gentlemen at the head are w.

they will be faithfully represented by
