THE GRAND RECEPTION.

MASON. "In the name of Political Martyrdom, allow us to thank you, Mr. BULL, for your Magnanimous Protection—your Noble-"

JOHN BULL. "Oh—none 'o that 'umbug to me! I know you two fellows well henough, as the Biggest Henemies Hengland ever 'ad. Don't flatter yourselves. I'd 'av done the very same thing for hany TWO niXXerS !"

J. BULL, ESQ., IN HIS LIBRARY. "That's it! that's it! the very thing we want! I knew I should find it somewhere, tho' I 'ave searched VATTEL, GROTIUS, DE HAUTEFEUILLE, and WHEATON, all of 'em in vain—and 'ere it is in GULLIVER!" (Reads.)

" Sometimes a WAR is entered upon because the enemy is too strong; and sometimes because he is too weak: sometimes our neighbors want the things which we have or the things which we want, and we both fight till they take ours, or give us theirs. IT IS A VERY JUSTIFIABLE CAUSE OF A WAR to invade a country after the people have been wasted by famine, destroyed by pestilence, or EMBROILED by FACTIONS AMONG THEMSELVES."

OUR "FAMILY SEWING MACHINE" having attained a well established and flattering reputation, as being of all machines yet introduced the one best adapted to all kinds of family sewing, and having met with a success in its sale beyond our greatest anticipation, so much so, that for three months our orders have been ahead of our capacity to supply, we would now announce that we have increased our manufacturing facilities, so that from this time forth we shall be enabled to supply orders on demand. In the changes brought about by the war, no one thing has played a more important part than the SEWING MACHINE. Without it three-fourths of our soldiers would today be clothed in anything but "Military Costume." All over the land army clothing has been the work required of our patriotic women, and nobly have they responded. Not content to make only to many garments as their hands could accomplish, they have called "The Sewing Machine" to their aid, and by it have rolled out the soldiers COATS, PANTS, and SHIRTS, at a rate astonishing to themselves. Knowing that this work could not long continue, many thoughtful, prudent housewives were careful to select the machine of all others, which would do the heavy army work, and when done with that, then to be used as their family MACHINE, and in selecting one of the

"FINKLE & LYON SEWING MACHINE Co.'s" FAMILY MACHINES, with which you may sew from the finest cambric to the heaviest cloth, without change of feed, needle, or tension—they have not been disappointed. Thus, having developed the adaptability of our machine
for all kinds of work, we have made another step in advance, and by several important changes in our "No. 3, MEDIUM MACHINE," have produced a "TAILORING MACHINE," which we confidently claim to be the "BEST TAILORING MACHINE" yet introduced, sewing the coarsest linen thread with as much ease as the common cotton- and when required may be used to do the very finest cambric work, with 150 or 200 cotton—thus combining in one compact form, every quality required in either a FAMILY or MANUFACTURING MACHINE. We have had our Machines before the public long enough to establish their reputation. Dozens of others who started with flying colors "have fallen by the wayside," and "soon the places that knew them will know them no more." Step by step has the Finkle & Lyon Machine won its way to public favor; its success is established, and henceforth our aim shall be, as it has in the past been, to still further improve, simplify, and reduce the cost of our machines. We shall in a few days issue a new price list. For further particulars address
