THE AMERICAN
SEWING MACHINE,
ISM GREAT DEM AND BECAUSE OF
IT'S GREAT SIMPLICITY

IL IN SREAl DEM AN ~ bECAI IoE Of
IT'S GREAT SIMPLICITY,
Being particularly free from all Compli-
cations, always ready to work, and
easily understood by every one,
even the most inexperienced.
All Machines are guaranteed by the Com
pany and its Agents.
1t is the lightest running Shuttle Ma
chine in the world, requiring little outlay
of strength, and sews with great speed,
and never skips stitches.
1t has Self-Threading Shuttle, and re-
quires no adjusting of the tension every
time new bobbin is placed in it. No
time wasted in vexatious delays in get
ting the Shuttle ready TO work. 1t Is al
ways ready.
1t is the most Durable Machine that ever
claimed public attention, owing to it SIM
pie arrangement and the careful selection
of the best material.
The Bobbin Wound without removing
the Strap from the Balance-Wheel, with
out Unthreading the Machine.
Self-Threading above, from the spool 10
the eve of the needle and has the SELF
THREADING SHUTTLE AND EVEN
LY-ADJUSTED TENSION, which is
considered by all who have used it TO be
one of the most valuable improvements
that has ever been introduced.
NO OTHERS WILL SUIT YOU 50
WELL. They possess MORE GOOD
POINTS than any other Machines III the
market, and are, in fact, just what we
claim for them-THE BEST IN The
WORLD.
No better proof of this is needed than
the fact that the Company have been
awarded the First Premium at nearly
every Public Exhibition in which their
Machines have been exhibited, including
our late Centennial, where they received
TWO AWARDS, one for the Machine,
and one for Work done on the Machine.
Great variety of second hand Machines
always Oh hand, at prices from 81 upward.

JEFFERSON COUNTY VIRGINIA. SATURDAY, OT 1851

A "REMINISCENCES OF GEN. ToRBERr.-
The drowning of Gen. Torbert on
the Vera Graz has created profound
sensation here. He was held in high
esteem by our citizens, having been in
command here for some time during
the war, and treating our citizens with
great consideration. On Christmas
morning 1864, while returning from q
move on Gordonsville with q large
force of cavalry, he passed through
Warrenton aud visited gentleman fat
whose house he had made his hesdquar-
tiers earlier in the war. Three OF the
Black Horse Cavalry, finding out his
whereabouts made desperate efforts TO
capture him, and came near carrying
out their design. Gen. Torbert having
to leap to his horse without his stirrup,
pursued down the main street by the
three cayalrymen, who emptied their
revolyers at Kim. He often spoke OF
this SIS tie most tying event of this war
experience, ana while Consul General in
Paris entertained number Of Warren
touians, who were making the Cont
mental tour, at handsome banquet. A
few days ago he sent his respects thro'
a United States naval officer, TO Mr..
VIM. NJ Spillnau, one of the three
cavalrymen who had him in such serious
jeopardy. -U'arrsnton (Ta.) Cor.

WuAr NEWSPAPERS ARE PUBLISHED
FoR.-Some people have an idea that a
publisher publishes his paper for almost
anything but TO make money. In tact,
this class of people is very numeroustor
the good Of the newspaper fraternity.
Compliments are very acceptable, and
thanks cheer the publisher, but bread
and butter is what he and his family
live upon. Publishing isa business just
the same as manufacturing or keeping a
store. 4 manufacturer or storekeeper
would think 4 man crazy who came in
20 Lis office every little while and after
complimenting his goods, asked him 10
give him a few OF them. Thisis just the
kind of customers the publisher must ex-
pect TO deal more or less with six out
of seyea days in the week. We are not
speaking of men who are advertiser and
who have bought right to some priv
elges in the paper. We are speaking of
that immense class of dead heads who
send a six t..puff of their business in
a three cent envelope, closely written
on both sides; aud Of another numerous
class who are constantly dropping IN or
dropping it in on the pubiisher, in little
driblets sandwiched between asmile and
aud a compliment and mustard season
ing of cheek. The sooner these people
find out that every inch of publishers
space is so much money to him, the
sooner will publishers see little profit
III their business.

A TRUE LADY.-Wiidness is thing
which girls cannot afford Delicacy is
a thing which cannot be lost or found.
No art can restore the grape It's bloom.
Familiarity without confidence, without
regard, as destructive to all that makes
woman exalting and ennobling. 1t is
the first duty of a woman to be lady.
Good breeding is good sense. Bad
manners in a woman is immortality.
Bashfulncss is constitutional. Ignor-
ance Of etiquette is the result OF circum-
stances. All can be condoned and ban
ish men or women from the amenities
of their kind. But self-possessed, un-
shrinking and aggressive coarsehess OF
demeanor may be reckoned as a States
prison offense, and certainly merits that
mild form of restraint called imprison-
ment for lite.
1t is a shame for women TO be lee
tured on their manners. 1t is a bitter
shame that they need it. Do not be re-
strained. Do not have impulses that
need restraint. DO not wish to dance
with the Prince unsought-feel differ
emily. BE sure you confer honor. Garry
yourself so oftily that men will look up
10 you for reward-not at you IN re-
buke. The natural sentiment OF man
toward woman is reverence. He loses
a large means of grace when he is
obliged to account her being to be
trained in propriety. A mans ideal is
not wounded when a woman fails in
worthy wisdom; but if in grace, in fact,
in sentiment, in delicacy, in kindness,
she would be found wanting, hereceiyes
au inward hurt.

WORK AND LIvE.-Msn was put into
the world TO work, and cannot find true
happiness in remaining idle. So long
as a man has vitality to spare upon
work it must be used, or it will become
a source OF grievous, barrassing discon-
tent. Tue man will not know what to
do with himself; and when he has
reached such point as that, be
is unconsciously digging grave for
himself and fashioning his own coffin.
Life needs a steady chanel to run in
regular habits Of work and sleep. 1t
needs a steady, stimulating alma ten
dency toward something. An aimless
life cannot he happy or for a long peri
Cd healthy Even if man has.achieyed
wealth sufficient Tor his needs, he fre-
quently makes an error in retiring from
business. A greater shock can hardly
befall mau who has been active Than
that which he experiences when, having
relinquished his pursuits, he finds unus
ed time and unused vitality hanging
upon his idle hands and mind. The
current of his life is thus thrown into
eddies or settled into sluggish pool,
and he begins TO die. When the iand
OF vitality sinks so low that he can fol
low no labor without such draft upon
his forces that sleep cannot restore
them, then it will be soon enough TO
sion work.
