IIU father waa a quiet citizen) not rich or prominent; his name was never heard beyond a I united, cfrcle of friends who knew and appreciated his modest vir tues. Bat to-day that little child is better known and indrp talked about4than any young prince in the world. The leading -statesmen who are dreaming of the nex ti. i 1 renuency are none of them so well known ' to the iK-ople of the United States aa the stricken father of thjat four-year-old boy. This touching fact has been as effective as the most successful fictions. Aa any mothers have shed tears over the adrrowful fate of Charlie Koks as have wept over the death of Panl Dombey. It is rare that any cause enlisU so' many and such ardent sympathies. If tho' conimuniry 'cared as much for the liberty of Cuba aa it doea for the restoration of this fair-haired baby, it would be accomplLih'ed at aair Aaiard. The j 1 wole iKjpulation of 'the country is enlisted a great detective corps to find him. Not - a dayass but that some one is arrested for having in his company a child "four years old, having long, curly, flaxen Hair, haiel eyes, clear light akin, and' rounl face.", The " description is so hopelessly r4 vague, there are so raany thotiaand children , answering to it, that there U not Village lit tiie land where a dozen mothers do not cry out when it is read and clasp their own dar lings to their heart, v Every moment some parent is wonderipg where the lost child can be, whatthey arV doing to him, what will become of him. .There were few houses . where, in the. joyous racket and confusion which surround th Christmas 'tree, Hrhen ' 'chubby faces wera lighted ap with the blaae of its evergreen wonders, there were no thought of the lost baby, and the desolate round fables to accommodate eight persons Atfltlfif tXitmA l . !. .... .M la- 1. 4 - "'w ic jicwiv niajriep Coup aim uicir parcnH sit, ptten joined by home wherfe hope la slowly? giving way to Another child has entered, by the open door of ynjp$tbj SxTtQ' all the j families' bf the country.

A sen timent at etrohg as that would accomplish anything which is possible. But it can do nothing for this lost, child, except to invest everything J relating to him with vivid and startling interest. The other night two river-thieves in attemptingto rifle an empty houae at Bay Ridge were diet, i It -was & thing to ajipreve, -and apeak of, aa-forget. In ordinary circumstances, the only persons considered in the affray Woald have been the plucky people who shot the marauder. 1 But one of these, before dying, said that the other knew where Charlie Ross was, and the asserted possession of this secret made the death of the two thieves one of the most thrilling and terrible incidents of the ,?

It is 'a singular proof of the enormows jiower and extent of newspaper publicity In- creatingand keeping alive a serioas public feeling. The power which Halleck ascribed to the "orator " of moving and cord-' mandirg the hearts of "thousands till they move a 'one," ia possessed in an infinitely greater fegree by the pre, in a case where they disinterestedly agree. This influence is increasing day by diy on account of that increasing honesty and independence of journalirtru -vrhich no one can have1 failed to notice during the last few years. ; It shows also how real and positive a sympathy unites us all in .matters referring to the sacred relations of home and family.

NewYrk-Jii(M Be V pert, Nv. 14, 1874. To the Board of Managers: ; ' I Xkcmxxzs After a foil and impartial ex amhution of the articles described, the under signed judges make the following . BEWET ABSTRACT: That fee-wing-nmchine No. 436 (Wheel er & Wilson's New No. 6) waa churned to be so great an improvement, both upon the well-known family machine made by the same company, and upon all other sewing-iriachines, as entitled it to recognition as a new and valuable in vention. Under these circumstances, an extremely thorough and minute examina tion became both desirable and necessary, Jiot only of its novelty but of the skill and workmanship manifested in the fitting and adjustment of all its parts. We have risen from such examination with an ample conviction that the claim, in all its essential features, is well founded. At the commencement of our ex amination, we were provided with several complete seta of all the working parts as they came from the manufactory, and were at liberty to make our own selection for the construction of a complete ma chine in our presence. We thus had, to a large degree, a demonstration of the nicety of the manufacture. Every part was formed to fit every, other part with exact precision. So accurately, for instance, did, the several rotating nooks fit in the same bearing, that while entering it, each one of them, without such contact as required force, manifestly compressed the air within in reaching it3 proper seat. The judges enumerate and describe some of the points of novelty and excel lence of the machine. Among others: The simple and efficient device for pro ducing , variable motion ior the rotatirfg hook; y The independent take-up lever, which secures the tightening of the stitch un der the best possible circumstances; The peculiar form of the hook and the use of a bobbin holding a great quantity of the under thread; : v The simple device for producing and varying the tension of the lower thread; The hollow steel needle-bar; The facility of applying and using many, useful attachmentsthe hemmer, binder, corder, rufller, &c Having completed the construction of our trial machine; in the way .indicated, it was mounted upon a convenient stand, and submitted to every variety of test as to tEerange of work that could be execu ted upon it properly and well, and with out other adaptation than simple changes of needle and ,thread. . The mere list of operations performed in our presence without the slightest hesitation or failure and without the discoverable loss of so much as a single stitch ; would convey an inadequate idea of the complete success achieved. ' Beginning with a needle measuring but 17-1000 inch in diameter, and opera ting with the finest ' thread upon lace goodsv the same machine passed through all thelBtages of muslin, and broadcloth of all conceivable thicknesses and fold ings and ridgings, and then with waxed thread -stitchinc: throuarh nortions of .heavy harness leather. After this demonstration of its range of work, we entered upon the nicer tests required for a family and light manufac turing machine. -In this department we witnessed all the varieties of work on hemming, felling, and braiding, and also a degree of success in single and double raffling which we believe unparalleled. The varied kind3 of work on a lady's boot were then performed, and each of these with the same marked success. In deed, whatever the test, and" whatever the work presented, the; same , unfailing perfection was exhibited, not only in the work as a piece, but in the execution of each individual stitch. With much pa tient examination, we were unable to discover a single defect: V ; . . . ; , - - The minuteness of this report is a sim ple reflection of the care with ; which we have endeavored to examine these claims. Wre find the chief advantage of this ma chine to be in the use of a modified form of the rotating hook as a substitute for the shuttlev the hook carrying tho upper thread around the bobbin containing the lower thread, and thus producing identi cally the same effect as the shuttle. The superiority of this rotary motion over the reciprocating motion of the shuttle, ma chines cannot be disputed. The "lock stitch " which is thus secured has always ranked highest on account of the permanence,- beauty, and general desirableness of the stitching when done,, and the wide range of its application. To these conceded advantages there have been added, in our' presence, ! the severest and most searching tests of its capacity and' usefulness upon every xvLLmuioy jJUMHiuie jona oi worK, and we can do no less than bear witness to the entire and remarkable success which has attended , its. action in every part of OT1T Tnminofi-Ti Tf ia J. ...-it . lmS ISf vwioiuv 14 (t UIIIKTb tuna known with which it comes in com pettiien. i As the only conclusion to which we can arrive after an investigation of the several merits of each of the sewing inachines submitted, an investigation which we have endeavored to make pa tiently and completely in every respect, and associating these with our best judgment upon the merits of the sev eral machines which are in use but not on exhibition:.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his essays, thus portrayB the glory of the farmer : ! " The glory of the farmer is that, in the division of labor, it is his part to create. Ail the trades rest a last on his primitive authority. He stands close to nature; he obtains from the earth the bread and the meat. The food which was not he causes to be. The first farmer was the first man, and all historic nobility rests on the possession and use of land. " Men do not like hard; work but every man has an exceptional respect for tillage, and the feeling that this is the original calling of his race -r that he himself is only excused from it by some . circumstances which made him delegate it for a time to other hands. If he had not some skill which recommended him to the farmer, some pros pect for which the farmer will give his corn, he must himself return into his due place among the planters. And the profession has in all eyes this ancient charm, a stand ing nearest to God; the First Cause. " The beauty of nature, the tranquility and innocence of the countryman, his in dependence and his pleasing arts the care of bees, of poultry, of sheep, the dairy, the care of hay, of fruits, of orchards and forests, and the reaction of these on the workman in giving him strength and plain j dignity like the face and manners of nature, all men acknowledge. All men keep the farm in reserve as an asylum, where, in case of mischance; to hide their poverty, or a solitude, if they do not succeed in society. And who knows how many glances of re morse are turned this way from the bank rupts of trade, from mortified pleaders (n courts and senates, or from j the victims of idleness and pleasure? Poisoned by town life and town vices, the sufferer resolves : ' Well, my children, whom I have injured, shall go back, to the land, to be recruited and cured by that which should have been my nursery, and shall be their hospital.''; ; . Indisputable Evidence. ; i St- Elmo' JuJy 8' L I-V Pierce, M. D., Buffalo, N. V. : I wish to add my testimony to the wonderful curative properties of your Alt, Ext, or Golden Medical Discovery. I have taken great interest in this medicine since I first used it. I was badly Ef'te4 with dyspepsia, liver deranged and an aim jet perfect prostration of the nervous sys tem. So rapid and complete did the discoverv effect a perfect cure that it seemed more like magic and a perfect wonder to myself, and since that time we have never been without a bottle of the discovery and Purgative Pellets in the house. They are a solid, sound family physician in the house and ready at all times to ny to the relief of sickness without charge. We have never had a doctor in the house since we first began the use of your pellets and discovery. I have recommended the use of these medicines in several severe and compli cated cases arising from, aa I thought, an impure state of the blood, and in no one cape have they failed to do more than accomplish all they are claimed to do. I will onlv mention one as remarkable (though I could give vou dozens). Henry Koster, furniture dealer, cf tkis place, who was one of the most pitiful objects ever seen, his face Bwollenoutof shape, scales and eruptions without end, extending to the body, wbieh was completely covered with blotches and scales. Nothing that he took seemed to effect it a particle. 1 finally induced him to try a few bottles of the Golden Medical Discovery, with daily use of the pellets, assuring him that it would surely cure him, He com menced its use some six weeks since, taking two pellets each night for a week, then one each nighty and the discovery as directed. The re sult is, to-day his skin is perfectly smooth, and the scaly eruptions are gone. He has taken some seven or eight bottles in all, and considers himself cured. This case had baled the skill of our best, physicians. Messrs.
