CURIOUS ADVENTURES OF THE MAN WITH THE SEWING MACHINE. . Our hero was an artisan, Who toiled from morn 'tilLe'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 all his friends of means. But found, as soon as he'd began, They all. had White Machines. Undaunted still, he boldly planned, His eyes bore darksome gleams, He said, " L ? ll seek some fpreigu land, That aint got White Machines." " Tis a most visionary plan." ■' Said all, *£ Tho' well he means, To be a missionary man, : • And sell the White Machines." , But steadfast was this artisan . And wiry, spry, and lean ;._... So off lie 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 White Machines. In many lands hie 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 Greece, And 'mongst Egypt's fellahin, He once " patched up a little peace" By using White's Machine. ' In India and Afghanistan, The Republic Argentine, Australia, Java and Hindostan, He sold the White Machine. Among tliem all a Avondrous change, This artisan hasAvrought, ' And, yet, it is not very strange, For White Machines they bought. The artisan still Avanders wide - (Ten years here intervene), The.people run from every side To buy his White Machine. " Sole Agents for ManaAvatu— C, M. ROSS & CO. The JBon Marclie.
