The Fatigue of Washing Day no longer dread ed, but Economy, Efficiency, and Clean Clothing, Sure. In calling publio attention to this little machine, a few of the invaluable qualities, (not possessed by any other washing machine yet invented,) are here enumerated : It is the smallest, most compact, most port able, most simple in construction, most easily operated. A child, ten years old, with a few hours' practice, can thoroughly comprehend and effectually use it. There is no adjust ing, no screws to annow, no delay in adapt ing ! It is always ready for use ! It is a perfect little wonder ! It is a miniature giant, doing more work and of a better qual ity, than the most elaborate and costly. One half of the labor is fully saved by its use, and the clo'hes will last one-half longer than by the old plan of the rub board. It will wash the largest blanket. Three shirts at a time, washed thoroughly ! In a word, the ablution of any fabric, from a Quill to a Lace Curtain or Cambric Handkerchief, are equally within the capacity of this LITTLE GEM! It can be fastened to any tub and taken off at will. No matter how deep rooted a prejudice may exist against Washing Machines, the moment Ibis little machine is seen to perform its won eers, all doubts of its cleansing efficacy and utility are banished, and the doubter and detractor at once become the fast friends of the machine. We have testimonials without end, setting forth its numerous advantages overall others, and from hundreds who have thrown aside the unwieldy, useless machines, which have signally failed to accomplish the object prom ised in prominent and loud sounding adver tibements. It is as perfect for washing as a wringer is for wringing. The price, another paramount inducement to purchasers, has been placed so low, that it is within the reach of every housekeeper, and there is no article of domestic economy that will repay the small investment bo soon. $5,5 All that is asked for this GREAT LABOR SAVER, is a fair trial. We guarantee each machine to do its work perfectly. Sole Agents for the United States, A. U. FRANCISCUS & CO., S13 Market St., Philad'a, Pa.

Strange, we never prize the music Till the sweet voiced bird had flown ; Strange, that we should (light the violets Till the lovely flowers are gone ; Strange, that summer skies and sunshine Never seem one-half so fair As when Winter's snowy pinions Shake the white down in the air. Lips from which the seal of silence None but God can roll away, Never blossomed of such beauty As adorns the month to-day ; And sweet words that freight our memory With their beautiful perfume, Come to us in sweeter accents Through the portals of the tomb. Let as gather up the sunbeams Lying all around our path ; Let us keep the wheat and roses. Casting out the thorns and chaff ; Let ns find our sweetest comfort In the blessings of to-day, With a patient hand removing All the briars from our way. Select Storit. OUT OF WORK. Or, Two Ways or Bearing Trouble. It was a cold, dismal evening in Nov., that two laborers might have been seen wending their way along the streets of a large manufacturing town. Slowly they proceeded, with dijected countenance, not exchanging a word un til the one, whom we shall call SmitV halted before a neat little bouse and un latched the gate. Then there was such a look of utter misery and despair gleam ing from his eyes, that his companion murmured, "We must trust in God, Smith." "Yes," he articulated gloomily, and going to the cradle he took up the six weeks old baby, and sorrowfully pressed it to his heart. "I do wish yon would put that child down and get ready for supper," ex - claimed his wife, after enduring his gloom iness for some time. He slowly obeyed and then seated himself at the table, with a deep sigh "What in the world is the matter with you to-night?" she asked as she sat down opposite him. His voice trembled as he replied, "I suppose you might as well know. first as last, I have been discharged." "There exclaimed his wife, quicklyi pushing back her chair. "Just what I might have expected ! I'd like to know what we are going to do now. "Winter coming on and all I declare. Smith you will torture me to death !" "I am very sorroy, Lydia, but I can not help it." "Sorry ! No you are never sorry at all. You would just as leave) sec your wife and children starve as not. . It's nothing in the world but yonr poor managing." "Lydia you are cruel. Instead of helping me to endure my great trouble, which is bearing me down to the very earth, you make it ten times harder for me to bear. I was not the only one dis charged, There was Jim Hawley, and ever so many others. Business is dull !" She mimiced after him. "Always an ex cuse for a worthless man. To think that you should be discharged now, just as the rent is due ; and then we are out of wood ; and look at my shoes won' t yon ? my feet almost on the ground- I wish I had never married yon, ,.and a dark look ac companied the last words. The poor hus band now covered his face with his hands and groaned aloud. This seemed to en. courage his wife to go on, for she nttered words more and more bitter until at last driven almost to a state of frenzy, the wretched man rushed from the house to the tavern, and there sought to bury his thoughts of the past and future in the rum cup. In the meantime, James Hawley, his companion in labor, entered his home with a very sad countenance. But be fore he had stepped over the threshold, a loving pair of arras were thrown around his neck, and a pair of sweet lips were pressed to his. lie returned the saluta tion sadly and then inqnried for the baby. "She is sleeping sweetly in her cradle. She has been a perfect little darling all day. Supper is waiting ; so make haste, here is warm water and towl. Are you not later than nsual to-night ?"' "Yes, Mary, I bring bad news to you." "Bad news !' she exclaimed, turning pale as, for the first time, she noticed that something was wrong. "Yes ; I was discharged to-night, and I do not know as I can get anything to do before Spring. Business is so dull." "Is that all !" asked his wife with a sigh of relief. "I thought it was some thing terrible, the way you looked." "And is it not terrible enough 1 what will becomes of ns this winter if I am out of employment?'' "The same God who feeds the spar- rows and clothes the lillies in the fields, will not leave us Biffer, dear James." "God bless you Mary ! There is sweet comfort in your words." "And now let us have supper," ex- claimed Lis wife cheerfully. "See, I have your favorite dish shortcake and toast. Do not let yonr troubles impair your appetite, aud then, after tea, we will talk it all over. God doetk every thing for the best. And as' our day bo shall our strength be." In the evening it was determined that the quarter's rent should be paid im mediately, a new supply of coal obtain ed, and the remaining portion of the money placed in the wife's hands to be dealt out as spairingly as poseible. Then Mary suggested that all her par lor furniture should be put away in the , garret, and the front room let out. Further than this they could lay no I plans, and as the husband went out to j pay the rent, the future looked so dark to the young wife that she could not al together restrain her tears; but seeking Etrength from on high, her face wore the same cheerful Bmile when her husband returned and little did be know that ' during all the long night, while he and the baby were sleeping, his wife lay awake, planning out the future. - Three months have passed, with scarcely a day's work, in all that time, and now an other quarter's rent is due. In vaiu the laborer thrusts his hands in his empty pockets, and in vain racks : his brain for some solution of the prob lem how that rent is to be paid, The lodger had paid his money monthly ; but then that was not enough to meet the sum, if he had it, and of course his wife had spent that as fat as she received it, and it was an every day wonder to James how Mary managed so well. With feelings of great dispair he en tered the house. The table was spread with some favorite dish. There was the shortcake and toast, flanked with a gold- cn lump of butter, a plate of honey, and a deep dish of roasted apples to be served with sugar and cream, while at bis wife's plate sat the steaming teapot. As James took it iu all at a glance, he creatlr wondered at the frnjral, vet j comfortable way of living. How j his wife had been able to make the small amount of monev laBt so Ions was a mystery to him, and yet he could not help wishing inwardly that she had been more economical ; then, perhaps, the rent might have been paid, and he felt that it would be better to have subsisted on one crust of bread rather than to be turned out of doors homeless. He refused to sit at the table, pleading that he had no appetite. And a great large tear arose in the strong man's eyes as he informed his wife that on the mor row they v.ould be turned from their home, to go he knew not where, as he had not a dollar in his pockets to secure them a room elsewhere. "Is that it ? ' exclaimed his wife in a soft tone, and tripped up stairs, and soon returned, and placed two ten dollar bills in his hand. "Where did you get them V he asked eagerly turning them over iu his hands, as though to ascertain whether they were realy genuine or not. "1 earned them," replied bis wife gaily I knit afghaus, shawls, children's hoods, saques aud socks ; at first only for those whom I providentially heard wished articles of the kiud ; afterward I was employed to furnith a trimming Iisbment with my work." 'And kept it a secret from me 1" "Yes, because I thought you would be worried for fear I was doitig too much- I love to knit dearly, aud consider it more of a pleasant pastime than labor." "God be praised for giving me such a wife !"' exclaimed her husband earnestly, and pressing his wife aud child closely to his bosom, ue said, "tier children shall rise up and call her blessed ; her hus band also aud he praiseth her ; for many daughters have done, virtuously but thou excellest ihetn all." Twenty years have passed, and James Hawley is a rich man But Joseph Smith is a confirmed drunkard, while his wife has long since passed from earth a victim of misery and want. Why will not wives assist their hus bands to bear their trials, with helping hands and hearts? If they would but do this, how many families would be saved from ruin and how sweet would be their reward, not only upon earth but in Heaven. "Papa" said a little urchin to his father, the other day, "I saw a printer go down the etreet just now." "Did you. sonny? How did you know the person was a printer ?" "Because I do, pa." ' But he might have been a carpenter, black smith, or a shoemaker." "Oh, no, papa; he was aprinter likely an editor for he was gnawing a bone, and had no stockings on. The crown was out of his hat, and his coat was all torn. I am certain he was a printer."

From the Kansas City Times Yesterday morning an old man from St. Louis, named Henry Richardson, came to this city on the Missouri Pacific railroad. He sought Marshal Spears at once, and told him his troubles and his calamities. About six months ago Rich ardson, then a man of forty-five, married a young and pretty girl named Emily Rosser, only sixteen years of age. At first, as the husband told the mar shal, everything went on well. II Is wife was dutiful and kind, and seemed per fectly happy with her choice. By-atid by a young fellow named Penderson ap peared upon the ecenc, who was a cousin of Richardson, and who bad been made welcome at his house. In time the re gard of the young wife ripened into fa miliarity, and the actions of the two to ward each other were snch that the neighbors began to talk about it. Finally they told the husband, who resented the information indignantly, and threatened several who seemed to him more thau unnecessarily officious. He had some conversation, however, with his wife about it, telling her what the neigh bors said, and how it distressed him. She in turn denied everything, cried bit terly, ki?sed her husband over and over again, and the matter was forgotten. Rut the young man still came to the house. To day a week Mr. Richardson had occasion to go to Springfield, 111. He re mained there two days, and when he re turned his wife and Penderson had eloped together. With a cunning that comes ouly from a consciousness of guilt, she had prevailed upou her husband only a short time before to give her S3.000 in Lnited states bonus, and a deed to a ! house and lot in St. Louis. These she sold before she left, at a sacrifice, aud j with all her clothes and jewelry, aud her ' paramour, the arrived in Kansas City j last Monday, remaining here but one I night, regi-tering as man and wife. When Mr. Richardson returned home he found that, however, slight his bus- picions were before, they were now more j than made sad realities. At first he de- termined to endure his great wrongs in silence, and let the erring wife go her own gait to rniu, but the more he brood ed over them the more resolved he be- 0y jn a recPnt ove fe;l3t ghe declared came to pursue the guilty parties. He , tj,at 6j,e ua(j enjoyed religion one hun traced them to this point, and after find I ,re(j years, and for that same period had ing out what he could from Marshal j j,een a member of the Methodist Church.
