Dear wife, I am weary of seeing You toil every day for yonr bread, While I am a poor helpless being ; •Tis often I wißh I were dead. You ne'er were accustomed to toiling, Your handß were once white like the snow; While I watch you work night and morning Yonr movements seem wearied and Blow. The Wife. Dear husband, give over your worry, My work ee°ma like labor, I ween, But I am never compelled, dear, to hurry Now I use Ferriman'a Washing Machine. It lightens by two-thirda my labors. And makes all my garments bo clean, That our clothes are the envy of neighbors Who adore Ferriman's Washing Machine TO THE WIVES AND MOTHBBS OF ASHBURTON AND THE GENERAL PUBLIO OF NEW ZEALAND. - In presenting to the public of Asbbutton the marvellous STEAM WASHER, I believe I am conferring a boon of incalculable worth on every wife and mother m this beantifu'sland, an whom that most important function of every household devolves, known (and hitherto dreaded) as washing clothes of every description. By the use of this Machine, this distastefal and Blavish work ia entirely relieved of ite drudgery, and made a source of pleasurable exercise The unequalled qualities which it possesses of thoroughly blr aching the clothes giving them an unparalleled whiteneßS, and its harmleta action npon delicate and colored fabrics, render it peculiarly useful and popular. The saving qualities of the Machine ar quite m keeping with its other mtritoriouß features. Any person who will give it a practical test will be unquestionably convinced that from an ECONOMICAL standpoint it is unsurpassed and unequalled. The consumption of fuel is materially reduced. Tho saving effected m this item alone will m one year equal the price of the Machine. As ib only entails the consumption of two-thirds the amonnt of soap mcd m the ordinary way of washing, this item of economy is self-evident to every person. The greatest saving, however, is effected m the wear and tear sof the clothes. Every intelligent individual knows that tin nse of the washboard wears th« 3 various fabrics more than anything else, and as the marvellous PteAm Washer renders its ns» absolutely unnecessary, and thereby obviates almost entirely the necessity for " clothes mending," its saving qualities m thi* particular will be at once apparent and appreciated. But all it<» eavin? qualities of a financial character are eclipsed, and dwindle into insignificance, when we take into consideration the frail, delicate, and weakly condition of thousands of wives and mothers who are forced to tax their energies and wapte their limited strength injthe old way of washing; but who may, by the use of its magical properties, do the work without any fatigue to their feeble bodies, and with infinite satisfaction and pleasure to their minds. This, more than any desire or expectation on the part of the inventor to make money out o the article, was the prime object he had m view. From the marvellous reßnlts obtained from its ÜBe, however, and tho unbounded and enthnsiastio commendations from eVeryone having used it since its introduction to the public, as the annexed list of names of persons wh ~> have purchased the machine and are willing to testify to its merits, will folly attest, the advertiser has deemed it wise, m ordor to place this incomparable article of household nse more prominently before the intelligent people of the district, to give the postal address of a few of the buyers, m order that an unprejudiced and entirely impartial opinion of its intrinsic value, may be readily obtained by anyone desirous of getting such information from actual users and purchasers, who will undoubtedly be best calculated to give a just estimate ef its value.
