The machine is simple, both in its structure and operations, and should anv portion of it fail, can be easily and speedily repaired by any person having the use of tools. I do not claim for this machine more than what it is able to perform with that description of labor which almost every family is able to supply, without af,.all mterft .vith tre ordinary duties. In the first place a child 12 or 15 years of age can perform all the labor, after Having seen it operate a tew times, and if the direc tions are adhered to, will do 'as much work in one day as three or tour women in the ordinary wav. and th" work will be much better done.

Muster ing up courage, he proceeded to inflict somo severe thumps on the door, which brought tho Staid old gentleman out. "I suppose,' said the youngster, vho had by this time become slightly savage, from being compelled to wait so long, "I suppose you could not hear niu knocking for the dam roar ing." "The dam roaring!

"Oil! I beg your pardon, sir I beg your pardon walk in, walk in, really- ah! well! I declare! The dam roaring Capital! Conoo in, come in, that is really too rich."

Place, the French TSnnkrr who recent I)' failed for the immense sum of sixteen millions of francs, on the very night preceding his failure gave a magnificent banquet to his friends, the cost of which was fabulous!
