THE Lock Stitch made by this Machine
cannot be ravelled, and presents the same
appearance upon each side ot the scam, a sin
gle line of thread extending from stitch to
stitch. It is formed with two threads, one up
on each side of the fabric, and interlocked in
the centre of it. The beauty and regularity
of the stitch will be observed, also the firm
ness of the seam, in which respects it excels
hand sewing.
The Machine is recommended for the follow
ing qualities:
1. Beauty and excellence of stitch upon
each side of the fabric sewed.
2. Strength, firmness, and durability of
seam that will not rip nor ravel, and made with
3. Economy of thread.
4. Its attachments and range of application
to purposes and materials.
5. Compactness and elegance of model and
finish.
6. Simplicity and thoroughness of construc
tion.
7. Speed, case of operation and manage
ment, and quietness of movement.

IN MEMORIAM.
The flag of Columbia is shrouded in woe!
The wings of her Kagle are drooping and low ;
The waves of wild anguish have swept as a flood.
And the head of the nation lies stark in his blood!
Smitten down—oh my God—in the zenith of fame— ■
While millions were blessing the President’s name;
While the heart of the country pulsated with joy, ,
A traitor stole, fiend like, our'hopes to destroy!
The South was not weary of bloodshed and strife,
As she recklessly thrust at the national life;
She has slain in her madness, the lenient and true ,
And Treason hereafter must meet with Its due!
Ah, talk not of mercy!—the murder'd is near!
And low vowß of vengeance arc breathed o’er his bier;
And “ Lex talionis ,” the cry of the land,
Must strike with wild terror the recreant band :
For the great heart of lore, that so kindly forgave,
Is resting alas in a martyr’s red grave!
A nation in tears ! as the slow measured tread
Of thousands pass’d by, in the wake of the dead ;
The dark sons of Afric’ moved op in the train
'Twas meet for the Freedman to follow the slain!
He has broken their chains—Bid the bond to go free I
And enshrined in their hearts, shall his memory be ;
What the wise of pa§t ages, had purposed to do,
He had boldness and faith in his God to pursue,
lie had periledl his life for his country's chief good;
His mission of Freedom—is sealed with his blood !
He has finished his work, and around his loved name,
Shall circle the laurels of glory and fame 1
And Lincoln the martyr—all time shall revere,
The great Liberator —as Washington’s peer 1
A nation in tears! they have laid him to rest,
Near the dear ones he valued, the friends he lov’d best;
A second Mount Vernon, the hallow’d spot be,
A “Mecca" of love in the land of the free.
And low at thy footstool, oh God ! we will pray,
That the clouds of thy anger be lifted away 1
That the nation now mourning so deeply her slain ;
’Neath the "Stars and the Stripes” shall be gather’d
again.
Tho’ the “waters of Marah” in bitterness lave
O’er the bones of our heroes, and Lincoln’s sad grave,
His own loving spirit—o’er its fountain may breathe,
And mercy and love, and sweet chaplet may wreathe,
That shall temper stern justice to bury the past,
And the North and the South, he united at last.

An Incident in the Life of a Meth
odist Bishop.
In Dr. Clark’s ‘Life of Bisliop Hetlding,'
we find narrated the following incident:
Bishop Bedding was a plain and humble
man. He chose only to be known as a
Methodist preacher. He wore the garb,
travelled in the style, and assumed the
character of a Methodist preacher. Ac
cordingly, when be stopped to seek lodg
ings with his brethren, he would announce
himself simply as a Methodist preacher.—
If this did not always secure him as cordial
a reception, and as grand an entertainment,
as if he had announced himself “bishop”
instead of “preacher,” it at least enabled
him to distinguish between Christian hos
pitality and hospitality to office.
While on a journey to attend one of his
conferences an incident illustrative of this
occurred. One Saturday, toward noon, he
reached a manufacturing village, and find
ing both himself and his horse much jaded,
he concluded to remain over the Sabbath,
The preacher and his wife being both ab
sent from the parsonage, he went to the
public-house near by. After dinner he in
quired of the landlord who were the princi
pal men among tho Methodists in the place ;
intending to seek the hospitality of some
one of them rather than remain at the pub
lic-house over the Sabbath. The landlord
gave him the name and pointed out the res
idence of one, who, he said, was the prin
cipal man in the church, and also in the
village. The bishop immediately walked
over to tho house, and made known his
wish to the lady. Instead of giving him a
reply, she sent for her hnsband. When
the man came in he introduced himself to
him as a Methodist preacher ou a journey,
and said, that as he knew of no place he
could reach before the Sabbath, he would
like to pass it in that place if he could be
entertained. The man made no reply, but
turned the conversation to some other sub
ject. After waiting a reasonable time, and .
no reply being made .to his request, the
bishop took his hat, and said, “Good after
noon, sir,” intending to return and spend
the Sabbath at the tavern. The man then
said, in a cold and heartless manner, “I
guess you’d better stay here.” The bishop
replied, that be would like to stay, if it
would not be a burden to him or his-femily;
but he did not like to make himself burden
some anywhere. “0, you can stay,” said
the man, with the same cold, apathetic in
difference. “Well,” said the bishop, “I
have a horse at the tavern; have you
horsekeeping ?” “I have a barn and hay,”
replied the man, “but no grain.” The
bishop then said: “1 can procure grain at
the tavern, if you have good hay; but if
your hay is not good, I will keep him there,
as I have a long journey to perform.” The
man replied, with some little irritability,
“The hay is good enougn for your horse.”
Upon this slender prospect of hospitality
the bishop went to the tavern, procured
oats, brought them in his sulky, and put up
his horse, and took care of him while he
remained. Wheu evening came his host
said to him—“ There is prayer meeting at
the meeting house ; you can go, if you
please ; I can’t go.” The bishop went to
the prayer meeting, took his seat in the
congregation, and, at a suitable time, pray
ed along with the other brethren. After
the meeting he returned to his lodgings.
The house of his host was large, and ele*
gantly furnished ; but at the hour of rest
they sent the bishop to a small, remote
chamber—far from being clean. Here he
had three apprentice boys for his compan
ions—one of them occupying the bed with
himself.
In the morning the host, in a half-invi
ting, half-repeeling manner, remarked that
there was to be a love-feast, and inquired
if ho would go. “0, yes, certainly,” said
the bishop. Soon after he had taken his
seat in the congregation, the preacher came
in. He observed his host go up and speak
to the preacher, when both turned their
eyes upon him. The preacher, had seen
him before and instantly recognised him.—
A flame of fire seemed to overspread the
face of his host as he slunk away to a
seat. At the request of the preacbor Bish
op Hedding took charge of the love-feast,
and then preached for him. He also en
gaged to accompany the preacher and.offi
ciate for him at his afternoon appointment
—almost glad of the opportunity to escape
from his host at this juncture. As soon as
the service closed, be left the church to get
his horse. His host came up with him,
took his arm, and—half-mad, half-gracious,
and quite thoroughly confused—said, in a
quick, impatient manner, “Why didn’t you
tell me you was a bishop ?” “0,” said the
bishop, “ I am a plain Methodist preacher.”
Both the man and his wife seemed com
aletely overcome with mortification, and
it was a relief to the bishop to get away.
Perhaps after that the man remembered
the injunction of the good book, “Be care
ful to entertain strangers, for some thereby
have entertained angels unawares.” At all
events, he received an admonition upon
the propriety of giving, at least, a decent
reception and entertainment to the Metho
dist preachers.
(9°Mrs. Partington says Ike has bought
a horse so spirituous that he always goes
off in a decanter.
