The "Domestic."
The "DOMESTIC" is an exceedincly simple
machine iu all its part and processes. It is
sasily understood ; familiarity with it action is
verv quickly acquired, and it needs hardly any
practice of s skill iu the operator.
The superior advantages obtained in the "Do

1. Light Runnlnii.
2. Quietness no Cams or Gear Wheel.
3. Perfect Stitch Double-thread Lock Stitch,
4. Durability arising from Simplicity of Con.
struclion.
5. Absence of all Friction.
C. (reat raue of Work.
7. Ease of Operation.
We do not say that the "Domestic" is the only
Machiue worthy of public favor. We admit
there are some possessing real and ackuow
ledced merit : but we do claim, aud are prepared

THOUGHTS FOR Tilaf CONSIDERATION
OF
PATROK3 OF HU-BANDRT.
Brother and Sisters: There are great
principles and duties underlying the organ
izing of society which I regret to say, are
but slightly comprehensive. To this sad
fact may be attributed a great deal of our
individual and national demoralization, as
well as our social and material condition.
Selfishness which is a part and parcel of
our natural organization has much to do
with bringing about these results. It is
one of the basest of the human passion,
supreme iu itself love, aa'ogonistic to liber
ality, or a comrauuion of interests ; it de
stroys the sweet savor of society ; it engen
ders and suggests those arid sentiment
which plot mischief; dries up ths milk of
human kindness and dessipates those hu
mane and enabling impulses and practices
which render society attractive, and endear
us to one another. Brother, does our prac
tice illustrate the supreme rule of human
depravity and selfishness ; or is it charac
terized by that more noble sentiment be
nevolence ? These are questions which
should engage our serious consideration.
because tbe harmony and success of our
order depend greatly upon the latter senti
ment prevailing. Our order is based upon
a communion of interest, therefore, selfish
ness must be eschewed, and liberality al
lowed its legitimated sway. With this il
lumination of our duty, let us go into a self
examination of ourselves. Whilst we are
racking our brains and taxing onr energies
to the utmost of their tention, devising and
putting into execution the sordid schemes of
life for the accumulation of wealth, or at
tainment of position, we sliould not forget
that profound and sweet command given
by the wisest of law givers (Christ).
"Love thy neighbor as thyself," sadly I
say it, yet it is my honest conviction, I fear
that we are iu the condition of that part
inquirer the lawyer who is our neigh
bor ? Does this declaration strike you as
nonsensical or ridiculous ? Let us test it
by the rule of Hint who promulgated it.
Who among us that stops in our passion
ate, eager and rapid pursuit after wealth
honors, to aid our poor, fallen or distressed
brother or sister ? Who binds up his or
her wound of affliction ? Who takes from
his pocket as did the Samaritan to relieve
their distress? These are sacred duties
that should be practiced by us as members
of society, and more so as members of a "
brotherly organization. We cannot carry
out the principles of our order, without be
ing social truthful, sincere, honest and gen
erous toward one another. We are not
leagued as many suppose for selGsli and
narrow purposes. Tbe more prevailing
dollar aud cent sentiment of tbe world
should not, and I hope does not, bound our
aaa.
commes cr command our nignest aims.
We can by our combined efforts, directed
by prudence and invoked wisdom, amelior
ate our own condition, remodel society,
and correct many of tbe social, moral and
political evils of the present day.
This I admit is a gigantic work, but it
can be accomplished, and there is no other
class of people on God's green earth su
well conditioned, or constituted by Devine
arrangement to its accomplishment as the
Patrons of Husbandry. Tbey are pursu
ing man's normal occupation, and by
steadily looking to II i 111 who gives it, they
can derive wisdom sufficient to direct a
world. There is no duty that the tilling
of the soil requires to be performed which
interferes with thought ; ita exactions are
not so pressing as to prevent you from
shaping those thoughts for use. The first
and highest duty of each member of our
order is to study well our code of princi
ples. They are briefly stated to be the de
veloping of a higher manhood and woman
hood among ourselves. To enhance the
comforts and attraction of our homes, and
strengthen our attaenmeuts to our p
suits. To foster mutual understanding
and co-operation, to systematize our work,
and intelligently calculate as lo results, to
meet together, talk together, buy together,
sell together, act generally together, for our
mutual protection and advancement I
This combination of actions persistently
adhered to, will produce beneficial results,
and command the highest admiration of
our fellow men, and when we can exclaim
like Sbakespear'a shepherd : "Sir, I am
a true luborer, I earn that I eat, get that
I wear, I owe no man hate, envy uo man's
happiness, glad of other, men's good, and
am content with my farm," we shall hare
accomp'ished a grand result, for all must
acknowltdge that freedom from envy and
contentment with our lot in life, is the only
slid basis of temporal happiness. When
we shall have attained that high intellec
tual culture, that is so essential to the
adornment of our calling, and add science
aud system to husbandry, we shall have
the most perfect society the world has ever
known. Who is it that murmurs and ob
jects to our organization ? Those whose
exactions or extortions have forced upon
us our combination for self defence and self
perservation. They too whose self suffi
cency had prompted a distrust of the di
nity of our calling, but we say : "Let
