Sewing
Machine

1t is an acknowledged fact that the
White Sewing Machine now stands pre-
eminent among first-class machines, for
its simplicity and light-running qualities.
1t is mechanical fact that the White
Sewing Machine is made from the best
material and of excellent workmanship,
and all it's wearing parts are adjustable,
so that lost motion can be "taken up in
an instant.
1t is an undisputed fact that the dura-
bility of the White Sewing Machine is
sustained by written warranty for ive
years.
1t is progressive fact that the White
embodies the most practical and useful
improvements Of other sewing machines,
together with advantages peculiarly its
own.
II is a money-making fact that the
White is the easiest-selling selling ma
chine in the market, and therefore all
wide-awake dealers make it their speciality
1t is gratifying fact that the White
gives universal satisfaction, and that it is
steadily and rapidly increasing IN public
favor.

In communication to Congressman
Monroe, on the subject Of an opportunity
to explore the waters of this country,
Prof. Baird makes mention of new spe-
Gle of food fish, called the Tile fish. He
says:
A notable instance Of what may be
done in this respect is seen in the case of
the Tile-fsh, specie already mentioned.
A few Of these were accidentally taken by
Gloucester fishing vessel in 1879, and,
like all strange fishes brought into that
port, were delivered to an agent of the
Fish Commission, who transmitted the m
to Washington. Here they were careful
ly investigated and found to constitute
an entirely new genus and specie of an
admirable food fish, and one entirely wor::
thy of further attention. In September,
1880, the Fish Hawk proceeded to the To-
cality where these fish were taken, about
seventy-fve miles south Of Newport, and
discovered that this was in the western
edge of the Gulf Stream. On putting
found to be rich in animal life beyond any
previous experience Of the. Commission,
the mass and variety being perfectly
startling, and large number Of new spe-
cies being readily secured in short time.
The quantity Of crabs, shell fish, etc,
serving as food for fishes, was incalcula-
ble.
The fishing lines were then brought in
to requisition and the Tile-fSh found in
an abundance proportional to that of it's
food. The fish were then traced in three
successive trips Of the vessel along an
extent Of sixty miles, where they appear
ed to be as abundant as Goldfish on their
banks, and were taken with even greater
facility with the hook. The flesh was
found to be most palatable, and to be ca
pable of preservation by sailing or dry
ing in the same way as the cod. A fish,
therefore, which two years ago was en-
tirely unknown, even to the fishermen,
now bids fair, when it's distribution is
better ascertained, to constitute a most
important object of pursuit by the fisher
men, and to have the special advantage
Of occurring further to the south than
the localities on which the cod and hall
but are abundant, and to be equally ac-
cessible from any part of the coast. 1t
is extremely desirable to prosecute this
inquiry, so as to ascertain exactly over
what degrees of latitude the Tile fish oc-
ours. A similar research in the waters
to the south and southeast Of New Eng
land will in all probability show much
more accessible localities for the halibut
and cod, especially in the winter season.

A WIFE'S SHOES.
BY THE BARD OF TOWER HALL.
Said lady to her husband
AS a bit of morning news
81 must have to-day some money
For want pair of shoes"
Must have money!' said the husband,
And with accents far from sweet;
''You have walked into my purse, marin
With your pretty little feet
Quite as far as I deem prudent;
And no folly I'll excuse:-
1t is past my comprehension,
Why you need so many shoes.
In our early days of wedlock,
You had but two pair year,
And you now have new ones monthly!
Will you show the cause my dear?'
'Yes, WILL" replied the lady,
''And may conscience thee direct
To prevent, by future conduct,
Both the cause and the effect.
SIN our early days of wedlock,
All my hopes in life were light;
For thy love my heart made happy,
And my footsteps, then, were bright!
Aye, so light, that round our cottage,
AS tripped the morning dews
Did not lose ray of lustre
Meath the pressure of my shoes;
'And so light were then my footsteps,
With thy love my heart to cheer,
That two pair of shoes were all sir,
That needed for year.
But a change came DER thy heart, sir,
And with hopes no longer bright,
Very heavy, grew my footsteps,
Which had been so very light;
''And the very heavy footsteps
OF the aoife aohona you abuse,
As she trdUeLs il her SorrO,c
Are destructive to her Shoes
Much chagrined, rebuked and humbled
By the fact which stood revealed;
At the feet aohere the shoes had suffered,
The repentant husband kneeled;
And he said: "At Tower Hall, love,
will all my clothing buy,
For it was because wouldn't
That a tear first dimmed your eye."
"And I'll make your heart so happy,
And your steps so light, my dear,
The one pair Of shoes shall answer,
For my darling all the year!''

A DIFFICULT CHURCH.-The faculty of
one of our theological seminaries received
some time since letter, in which the in
habitants of small town in Kansas applied
to them for young clergyman to take
charge of their spiritual education. The
long and formidable array of qualifications
which the minister must possess, and the
extremely meagre salary attached to the
position, threw the good doctors of the fac
ulty into something akin to despair. After
much thought, one suggested that the reply
should run thus: "The only man of whom
we know who could satisfy you is our rev.
erend college president, now dead some few
years, and who, having accustomed himself
to heavenly food (air), could perhaps exc
out a poor subsistence upon the salary which
you propose" This, after due deliberation,
was rejected, and the next proposal listened
to: "We know of no one, excepting the
Apostle Paul, who approaches to yonr
standard of piety; he might preach of a
Sunday, and get his living by sail-making
on weekdays" This was at length also
rejected, and the following reply finally hit
upon and dispatched: "We know of no man
upon earth good enough for you, or who
could possibly live on the salary you men
tion. We therefore advise you to make an
effort to secure the angel Gabriel, who could
board in heaven, and come down Sundayst to
preach. ."-Hdrper' Magazine.

Spelling Reform in Germany.

An interesting point in the very interesting
letter published recently in the Boston
Traveller. in continuation Of the series
concerning the German schools, is that
which relates to the spelling reform in
Germany. In our own country little, though
but very little, has been done by popular
consent, and We have completely discarded
the letter ''u'' in the spelling Of such words
as ''color, ''labor," and all Of that class
There is "A growing tendency also to discard
double letters when it can be done, and We
find such words as "councilor," " "traveling.'
and so forth, almost as frequently as we find
councillor travelling" and the like.
Such reforms here, however, are the result
of popular opinion, while the reform in Ger
many is Government idea and will be
speedily accomplished. The principle under
lying it is the dscarding of all ueeless letters,
and the method of forwarding it is to require
the reformed spelling to be used in the
preparation Of public documents and to be
taught in the public schools. As result the
old method Of spelling will pass away as the
present and succeeding generations come to
the front.
