Donnu LOOK-STITCH formed by this Machine is found
to be the only one which survives the wash—tub on bias
seams, and, therefore, the only one permanently valu
able for Family Sewing.
READ THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONY:
“Mrs. Jnrrsnsos mus, presents her compliments to
Grover 65 Baker, and takes plemure in saying thet‘she
has used one of their Machines for two years, and finds
it still in good order, makes a beautiful stitch, and does
easily work of any kind.”—Washington, D 0.
“It is a beautiful thing, and puts everybody into an
excitement of good humor. Were la. Catholic, I would
insist upon Saints Grover &. Baker having an eternal
holiday in commemoration of their good deeds for hu
manity.”—-(7assius M. Clay.
“My wife has had one of Grover &. Baker’s Family
Sewing Machines for some time, and I am satisfied it is
one of the best labor-saving machines that has been in
vented. I take much pleasure in recommending it to
the public.”—l. G. Harris, Governor of Tennessee.
“0n the recommendation ofa friend, I procured, some
months since, one of your FumilySewing Machines. My
family has been most successful in its use, from the
start, without any trouble or difficulty whatever in its
management. My wife says it is a ‘fsmily blessing,’and
could not be induced to dispense with its use—in all of
which I most heartily concur.”——James Pollack, Ex-
Gavemar of Pennsylvania.
“The undersigned, CLERGYMEN of various denomina
tions. having purchased and used in our families GRO—
YER '81: BAKER’S GELEBRATED FAMILY SEWING
MACHINE, take pleasure in recommending it as an in
strument fully combining the essentials of a good ma
chine. Its beautiful simplicity, ease of management,
and the strength and elastiCity of its stitch, unite to
render it a machine unsurpassed by any in the market,
and one which we feel confident will give satisfaction to
all who may purchase and use it.”

SATURDAY MORNING, OCT. 27, 1860
The last number of Blacku-ood contains a.
history of that famous old building, the Tower
of London. We propose to make as full 3. sy
nopsis of this delightful article as our space will
permit.
The time the Tower was erected and the
name ot‘the builder have not. been preserved.
Seine assign it a very remote antiquity, and
Julius Caesar and Constantine the Great have
both been considered the builders. Authentic
annals inform us that the White Tower was
built in the time of William the Conqueror.—
Walls and bastions, and dungeons were added
at. sundry times till, in the reign of Edward the
Third. it attained its present form and extent.
During a period of three hundred years the
Kings of England went in procession from it on
their coronation days.
During the period that Richard II filled the
throne, this building was gay and noisy with
dance and banquet. Here, too, that monarch
lay a prisoner, and was forced to resign his
diudem. It was afterwards the scene of injus-V
tice and tyranny. It was here were imprisoned
the Princes of France whom Henry V, whose
chivalry has been so loudly extolled, conquered
in honorable warfare. James the First, of
Scotland, whom Henry the Fourth had seized
by treachery, was confined in one of the dun
geons of this grim and gloomy pile. From the
wmdow of his room the captive King saw a.
beautiful damsel, and, smitten with her charms,
sent her aletter that so pleased the lovely Miss,
she gave her heart. and hand to the royallover.
Hundreds have suffered cruel tortures in the
Tower on account of their religious opinions.
H ere Lord Cobham lay loaded with chains for
many weary months, because be worshipped
God after the manner which the dominant sect
pronounced ‘ heresy. Because he denounced~
the worship of images, and was opposed to
making pilgrimages, and entertained and openly
professed other notions obnoxious to those who
believed in those things, the titled victim was
condemned to suffer the most ignominious and
painful sentence. “He was dfnwn from the
Tower to St. Giles’ Field, where he was suspen
ded by the middle from a chain; a fire was kin
dled under him, and he was thus burned to
death.”
do " "
Twice the amiable and harmless Henry VI
was confined within these dark walls, and here
Ihe unfortunate monarch was found stifi' and
cold. in death. Its doors were kept continually
swinging on their hinges by the vile and bloody
Richard 111. For framing an answer when
questioned, touching the mode in which two
innocent women should be punished, with an
“if” in it, Lord Hastings was dragged by a,
body of servile soldiers from the Council to the
Green near the Chapel within the Tower, and
his head severed from his body on a log of
wood. .
The fascinating and corrupt J one Shore was
immured in one of the gloomiest cells of the
Tower for a crime that was not written against
her in the book of the Recording Angel, and
liberated after her persecut-ors had stolen her
worldly substance. The wretched outcast died
in want. A
The doors of its dark vaults never opened
and shut so often in the same period as during
the reign of that taciturn, sagacious, bloody
tyrant, Henry VII. Empson and Dudley sul
fered the same punishment they had inflicted
on so many innocent. persons. Boinhnm and
Frith were tortured by Sir Thomas Moore, who
in his turn, fell unuer the axe of the execu~
tioner. The mood in which that nobleman met
his fate was shockingly out. of keeping with
that solemn hour which comes to all. On his
way to the scaffold be amused the bystanders
with lively observations, and witticism fell from
his lips the moment before the axe descended.
After he had committed his soul to God, and
laid his head upon the block, the headsman
prayed his forgivness. “I forgive thee,” said
he, “butprithee, let me put my beard aside,
for that hath never committed treeson;" adding,
“pluck up thy spirit, man, and be not afraid to
do thine ofiice, my neck is very short; take
heed, therefore, that thou strike not wrong for
the saving of thine honesty." .
The clever and captivating Anne Boleyn was
the next victim of suspicion and cruelty. Her
headless body lay for some time on the Green
of the Tower, and was placed by rough hands
in a common chest and buried in the chapel
connected with the grim building. The Lady
Catharine Howard was the next Queen whose
blood stained the horrid axe. The scholarly
and engaging Earl of Surrey, one of the fastest
friends the treacherous and bloodthirsty wid—
ower ever had, was after the lapse of a. few
months, marked for the Hill. “The gallant.
nobleman and gentle poet,” delighting only in
classical pursuits, with no lust for power, was
tried for treason in the presence of that illus
trious soldier, his father, the Duke of Norfolk,
and given to the headsmon.
The shaft of a greater tyrant than himself
prevented the King from dinting the grass of
the Green with the blood of the Duke.
There are many more names on the gloomy
catalogue, and some that shine most brightly,
were stained with blood by the unrighteous
judgment of Mary and Elizabeth. This ancient
pile has somewhat softened its harsh visage-
Its walls are covered with vines. and flowers
bloom on its moat. Its connection with the
glorious name of Wellington has helped greatly
to abate the horror its history inspires. The
Duke was for some time cons/table of the Tower.
l Rowen BEGINNING or run Honeymoon—on
last Friday morniug an athletic young farmer,
in the. town of Waynesbnrg, took a fair girl,
“ all bathed in blushes,“ from her parents, and
started for the first town across the Pennsylva
‘ nia line to be married, where the ceremony
‘ could be performed without a license. The
happy pair were accompanied by a. sister of the
f girl—a tall, gaunt, sharp-featured female of
l some thirty-seven summers. The pair crossed
} the line, were married, and returned to Wells
: Ville to pass the night. People at the hotel
, where the wedding party stopped observed that
they conducted themselves in a rather singular
manner. The husband would take his sister
in‘lnw. the tall female aforesaid, into one cor
nor of the parlor and talk earnestly to her,
gesticulating wildly the while. Then the tall
11:111an would “ put her foot down” and talk to

FRI 011 TIN THE 0A TA COMES 0F PARIS.
The catacombs of Paris extend beneath a
considerable part of the Fauhourg St. Germain,
and especially the Hues St. Jacques, de la.
Ilarpe, de Tour-non, de Vsugirard, the Theatre 1
de l’Odeon, the church of St. Sulpicc, the Pan
theon, Wilde-Grace, the Observatoire, etc., and 1
they go beyond the fortifications to Monronge.
In them, as is known, are deposited the bones
which were collected from the different burial
places of Paris, on the suppression, in the time
of the Revolution, of cemeteries within the
walls; and these ghastly objects are piled up
in such a way as to form galleries or streets,
which extend for miles. It is recorded that at
difi'erent times numerous persons have lost their
way in these dreadful regions, and have died
of hunger and terror.
From a French paper we learn that four men
have recently escaped, almost by miracle, from
this terrible death. M. Katery, one of the
keepers of the catacombs, having occasion to
change a lock of the door of one the galleries,
went, on the previous afternoon to the spot,
accompanied by a. locksmith named Ghabral,
that man’s apprentice, of the name of Moran,
and M. Ozanne, an architect’s pupil. Incredi
ble to relate, they took only one candle, and
did not even place it in a lantern, and more
extraordinary still, did not carry with them any ‘
matches. No sooner had they reached the
door where thejob was to be done, than a. sud
den pulf of air blew out the light. Under the
guidance of Katery, they attempted to find
their way back; but notwithstanding his mi
nute knowledge of the road, they went astray,
and spent hour after hour in going up one gal
lery and down another. In total darkness,
they could not find any clue to direct them to
an outlet, and the further they walked, the
more desperate their situation appeared to be—
come, At length, after several hours spent in
pacing up and down, they were completely ex
hausted by fatigue and terror. Then Katery
had a happy idea: “Let us shout for help,” ‘
he said; “perhaps we may be heard!” They
did about, but for hours more their cries re
mained unheard amid the din fifthenolse above.
Nor was the night more favorable, as few per—
sons pass through that port of the city at nigh t.
At length, towards ten o’clock in the morning,
a journeyman printer named Phillippart, em
ployed on a. journal, was returning to his resi
dence, 10 Rue Duguay Tronin, near the Lux
embourg, and, when near his door, it seemed
to him that he heard cries of distress from
under the earth. At first he fancied he was
laboring under an illusion, but, on listening,
he distinctly heard human voices from below
an iron slab which covers an orifice opening
into the cataeomhs. He summoned some police
ofiic ers, and they, hearing the same cries, caused
the slab lobe removed. “ Who are you down
there, and what are you doing?” asked one of
the officers; and the answer was given, “We
are four men lost in the catacombs ! Pray give
us a light 2” Some matches and candles were
let down, and one of them having struck a light,
said : “We know our way now ; we will go out
by the door in the Rue Notre Dame des
Champs I” and they went away. Shortly after
four men, pale and haggard, presented them
selves at the guard-house in the Rue des Fleu
rus, and related_these facts. Having told their
tale, the poor men were of course warmly con
gratulated on their escape from a-dreadful
death, and they, on their part, expressed hearty
gratitude to Phillippart, and to the officers who
removed the slab—Methodist.
THE TWO SISTERS.
Frum owen7s ‘-‘ Footfull’s on the Boundaries of A anther
World."
In the month of October, 1833, Mr. o—,
a. gentleman, several members of whose family
have since become well and favorably known
in the literary world, was residing in a. coun
try house in Hamilton county, Ohio. He had
just eompleted a. new residence, about seventy
to eighty yards from that in which he was then
living, intending to remove into it in a. few
days. The new house was in plain sight of the
old one, no tree or shrub intervening, but they
were__ separated, about half-way, by a. small,
somewhat abrupt ravine. A garden stretched
from the house to the edge of this ravine, and
the further extremity of this garden was about
forty yards from the newly erected build
ing. Both buildings fronted west, toward a
public road, the south side of the old dwelling
being directly opposite to the north side of the
new. Attached to the rear of the new dwelling
was a. spacious kitchen, of which a. door opened
to the north.
The family at, the time consisted of father,
mother, uncle, and nine children. One of the
elder daughters, then between 15 and 16 years
old, was named Rhoda; and another, the young
est but one, Lucy, was between 3 and 4 years
of age.
One afternoon in the month of October 2 after
a, heavy rain, the weuther had cleared up, and
between 4 and 5 o’clock the sun shone out.—
About 5 o’clock Mrs. C———— stepped out into a
yard on the south side of the dwelling they
were occupying, whence, m the evening 51111,
the new house, including the kitchen already
referred to, was distinctly visible. Suddenly
she called a daughter, A—, saying to her,
“ What can Rhoda. possibly be doing there,
with the child in her arms. She ought to know
better this damp weather.” A——,—, looking in
the direction in which her mother pointed, 511 W.
plainly lend unmistakably, seated, in a rock
ing chair just within the kitchen door of the
new residence, Rhoda, with Lucy in her arms. ‘
“ What a strange thing!” she exclaimed ; “it
is buta few minutes since I left them up stairs.”
And, with that, going in search of them, she
found both in one of the upper rooms; and
brought them down. Mr. o— nnd other
members of the family soon joined them.—
Their amazement, that of Rhoda especially,
may be imagined. The figures seated at the
hall door, and the two children now actually
in their midst, were absolutely identical in ap-

peamnce, even to each minute particular of
MEM
Five minutes more elapsed in breathless ex
pectation, and there still sat. the figures; that;
of Rhoda appearing to rock with the motion of
the chair on which it seemed seated. 'All the
family congregated. and every member of it—
twelve persons in all—~sow the figures, noticed
the rocking motion, and became convinced, past:
all possible doubt, that. it was the appearance
of Rhoda and Lucy.
Then the father, Mr. C——-, resolved to cross
over and endeavor to obtain some solution of
their mystery, but, having lost sight of the fig
ures in descending the ravine, when he as—
cenced the opposite bank they were gone.
Meanwhile the daughter AA.— had walked
down to the lower end of the garden so as to
get a close view; and the rest remained gazing
from the spot whence they had first witnessed
this unaccountable phenomenon.
Soon after Mr. C. had left the house, they
all saw the appearance of Rhoda. rise from the
chair with the child in its arms, then lie down
across the threshold of the kitchen door ; and
after it had remained in that recumbent posi
tion for a. minute or two, still embracing the
child, the figures were seen gradually to sink
down out. of sight.
When Mr. 0. reached the entrance, there was
not a trace nor appearance of a human being.
The rocking-chair, which had been conveyed
across the kitchen some time before, still stood
there, just inside the door, but it was still
empty. He searched the house carefully from
gal-ref. to cellar, but nothing whatever was to
be seen. He inspected the clay, soft from the
rain, at the rear exit of the kitchen, and all
around the house, but not. a footstep could he
discover. There was not a tree or bush any
where near behind which any one could secrete
himself, the dwelling being erected on a bare
hill-side.
The father returned fromhis fruitless search,
to learn, with a 'shudder, what the family,
meanwhile had witnessed. The circumstance,
as may be supposed, made upon them a pro
found impression, stamping iticlf, in indelible
characters, on thcminds of all. But any men
tion of it was usually avoided, as something too
serious to form the topic of ordinary conversa—
tion.
i received it directly from two of the wit—
nesses, in New York, February 22d, 1860, Miss
:l——;~ and her sister, Miss P—-——~. They both
stated to me that their recollections of it were
as vivid as if it had occurred only a few weeks
sxncc.
No clue, or explanation of any kind was ever
obtained ; unless we are to accept as such the
fact that. Rhoda, a very beautiful and cultivated
girl, at the time in blooming health, died very
unexpectedly on the 11th of the November of
the year following; and that Lucy, then also
perfectly well, followad her sister on the 10th
of December, the same year; both deaths oc
curring, it will be observed, within clittle more
than a year of that day on which the family
saw the apparition of the sisters. '
Wiuonxa A Bern—There was a fellow once
stepped out of the door of a. tavern on the Min
sissippi, meaning to walk a mile up the shore
to the next tavern. Just at the landing there
lay a. big raft, one of the regular old-fashioned
Whalers—a. raft a. mile long.
Well, the fellow heard the landlord may the
raft was a, mile long, and he said to himself,
.“ I will go forth and see this great wonder, and
let my eyes behold the timbers which the hand
of man hath how‘ng’ Spine got on at the lower
end, and began to ambulatte' over the wood in
pretty fair time. But just as he got started,
the raft started too, and as he walked up the
river, it walked down, both traveling at the
some rate. When he got to the end of the
sticks, he found they were pretty near ashore,
and in sight of a. tavern; so he landed, and
walked straight into the bar-room he’d come
out of. The-general sameness of things took
him a- little aback, but he looked the landlord
steadily in the face, and settled it in his own
way.
“ Pnblictan," said he, “are you gifted with
a. twin brother, who keeps a. similar sized
tavern, with a duplicate wife, a comporting
wocd~pile, and a. corresponding circus bill a.
mile from here ‘2”
The tavern keeper was fond of fun, and ac
cordingly said it. was just so.
“ And, publicnn, have you among your dry
goods for the entertainment. of amen and horse,
any whisky of the same size of that of your
brother’s '2" -
And the tavern man said, that from the rising
of the sun even unto the going down of the
some he had.
They took the drinks when the stronger said,
“ Publicnn, that twin brother of yours is Mine
young mom-a. very fine man, indeed. But. do
you know, I’m afraid that he suffers a. good
deal with the Chicago diptheria I"
“ And what’s that ‘2” asked the todd—stioker.
‘-‘ It’s when the truth settles so firm in amnn
that none of it ever comes out. Common doc
tors, ofthe catnip sorl, calliu lyin’. When I
left. your brother’s confectionery, there was a.
raft at. his door, which he swore his life to was
a mileglong. Well, publican, I walked that
raft, from bill to tail” from his door to yours.—
Now, I know my time, 311’ I’m just as good for
myself as for a. hose, and better for that than
any man you ever did see. I always walk a
mile in exactly twenty minutes, on a good ray-d,
and I’ll be busted with an overloaded Ingun
gun if I’ve been moren’ ten minutes coming
here, steppin’ over the blamed logs at that.”
Fmourren MURDER m KILLINGLY, Comm—-
Merlin Cufi‘, of Killingly, Conn., was mur
dered in the most cold-blooded manner on Thurs
day night last, by his brother-in-law, James
Cull“. It seems that the two men were asleep
in the same bed, when James Gulf awoke and
thought he would kill Martin. He accordingly
arose, and after obtaining a razor from the
cupboard, crept softly back to bed, where
Martin was Sleeping soundly. The murderer
gently moved the head of his victim until it
rested on the edge of the bed, and then grasp
ing the razor he drew it with all his might
across the unconscious man’s throat. Dropping
his weapon, he seized the victim with both
hands and held him with his whole strength,
pressing the head back, as the appearance of
the corpse indicated, so that the blood might
flow freely. There was no cry nor groan. A
hot spurt of the life stream, a splashing upon
the floor, a few convulsive struggles, and the
tragedy was over. The murderer then rolled
the body back upon the bed, put the razor care
fully into the ease, and then coolly wiped the
bloody stains from his hands With a. sponge.
The razor he subsequently threw into a Well,
and then went and aroused the neighbors, to
whom he confessed his terrible crime. He is
supposed to be insane.
