CURIOUS- ADVENTURES OF THE MAN--' WITH THE SEWING MACHINE.: Our hero was an artisan* Who toiled from morn till c'en, Until, one day, he met a man Who sold the'-'WHiTE Machine. This man the best of clothes he wore, , And held a lofty mien. Ten thousand he had sold and more, Light-runni . Ig. White Machines. . ■ Then straightway went this artisan To allhis friends of means, But! found, as soon as he'd began, They all had White Machines. Undaunted still, he boldly planned, His eyes' bore darksomegleams, ' He said, " I'll seek some foreign land? : That aint got White Machines." , ..:. " Tis a most visionary plan," ;.:;,■• • Said all, " Tho' well he means, To be a missionary man, ■ •:■ . „ .. . And sell Lhe ; White Machines," But steadfast was this artisan, . And wiry, spry, and lean ; So off he went, his only plan, ■ To sell the White Machiue. He travelled long and -very far, . He braved the wildest scenes, From Labrador to Zanzibar He took'his-WniTE Machines. I' many lands he showed his wares, In towns and valleys green, And taught folks how to " sow their tares" By using White's Machine. :He trod the storied land of : G reece, . . . : ■ And 'mongst Egypt's fellahiu, He once "patched up a little peace" By using White's Machine. . . .. . In India and Afghanistan, The Republic Argentine, , Australia, Java and Hindostan, 1 "'He sold the ; White Machine. Among thenrali. a wondrous change, This artisan' has wrought, ' And, yet, it is n'oV very strange, ' " For White Machines .they bought. • The artisan still wanders wide (Ten years here intervene), The; people run from every side To buy his White Machine.
