Patent Baby-Tender. 
It is not only A Noiseless and Charming Cra¬ 
dle, but is easily anti instantly changed into either of the 
following articles, each in itselfcomplete and perfect, namely: 
A Reclining and Sitting Couch for infants. 
A Baby-Jumper, allowing perfect freedom of motion. 
(.See Cut.) 
A Baby-Horse for children of cither sex. 
A Baby-WalUer, attractive and useful. 
A Nursery Chair. 
A High Chair for the table. 
An Ottoman, andj 
A delightful Hobby-Horse for boys or girls. 
The Baby-Tender is entirely safe, simple, and easily under¬ 
stood, and, with ordinary care, will last for many years. It 
st.ands on casters (no part being suspended), occupies no 
more space than a small trunk, and may be safely moved by 
a child of three years. 
Those who have never used it have no conception of the 
toil and anxiety which it saves to those having the care of 
infants and children. 
Since the illustrated description of the Baby-Tender was 
published in the American Agriculturist, with the hearty 
endorsement of the editor, in December ISGl, several import¬ 
ant improvements have been added, which are commended 
by tlie same authority. The iron work of the apparatus is 
made at the well-known establishment of Messrs. IVhceler 
& Wilson, which is a sufficient guarantee of excellent 
workmanship. 
As the Baby-Tenders are now fitted up, no more accepta¬ 
ble, or useful Holiday Gift could be made in a family where 
tliere is a baby. It is emphatically a “Help for Mothers.”

Sewing Machines. 
We are having a great many inquiries for Sewing Ma¬ 
chines from various parts of the country, and as we can 
not conveniently reply to them all by mail, we have 
thought it proper to state our opinion in regard to them 
in this public manner. We have used Wilson’s patent, 
manufactured by the Wiieeier & Wilson Manufacturing 
Company, No. (125 Broadway, and we can say in regard 
to it, tliat it is without a rival. It is simple, not easily 
put out of order when in proper bands, and, in point of 
effectiveness and finisli, no other machine stands ahead 
of it. This famous Sewing Machine is liighly appreci¬ 
ated the world over. We state tiiis mucli in regard to 
(he excellent machine upon our own responsibility. 
This Company have made and sold during the last 
three months about 10,000 machines, and are now pro lac¬ 
ing and selling 150 per day. They vary in price from 
$50 to $100, and the higliest-priced ones sell best. In 
their business tliere is over $1,000,000 invested, and they 
keep 900 men regularly employed manufacturing ma¬ 
chines. The system pursued is tlie same as lliat adopted 
in the manufacture of arms; every piece is made to a 
guage, and consequently the parts of any machine may 
be transposed with those of another machine of the same 
size ; or, should an accident occur, the broken part can 
be immediately replaced on application at tlie office. 
There is not an establisliment in fliis country wliere 
stitching of any kind is required, in wliieli the Sewing 
Machine is not employed, and there are few private fam¬ 
ilies in which it.is not an acknowledged article of furni¬ 
ture. This Company lias just won the liigliest premium 
at the International Fair, Dublin, exhibiting its 200,000th 
machine, beautifully ornamented, with tlie American 
coat of arms .—Scientific American.

This Wringer has again taken the first premium in the- 
Great Fair of tlie Anierihan Institute—it has also taken tlie 
first premium at the State Fairs of New-York, Vermont, 
Pennsylvania, Olilo, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, 
Iowa, WLsconsiii, Connecticut River Valley Fair, Cliamplam 
Valley Fair, and at most of tlie County and Institute Fairs 
thi'ougliout the country. Over 200,000 have been sold, and 
are now in use in tlie United States, and ica never heard of 
one that was not liked. 
The Universal is superior to all other Wringers, in hav¬ 
ing large rolls of solid India Rubber, so protected by strong 
cog-wheels that tliey cannot slip or break loose from tlie 
siiaft. Its strong wood frame cannot be broken, and does 
not rust or soil the clothes. Every Universal 'VVringcr is 
warranted. 
We select a few testimonials from persons widely known 
to the public, wlio speak fi'om actual experience, and are 
above suspicion of misstateiiient. 
“My family would as soon give up the cooking-stove as 
this Clothes AVringer. It cannot be too liigbly recom¬ 
mended.”— [Solon Robinson. 
“After a constant use of the Universal Clothes Wring¬ 
er for more than four years in my lamilj-, I am authorized 
by the ’powers tliat be’ to give it tlie most unqualified praise, 
and to pronounce it an indispensable part of tlie machinery 
of liousekeeping.”—[Rev. Henry AA’ard Beecher. 
, “ This is the first Wringer I liave found tliat would stand 
the service required of it.”— J. P. Huggins, Lovejoy’s Hotel. 
“ AVe tliink tlie Macliine jiuen more than pays for itself 
EA'ERY year in THE SAVING OF GARMENTS. AVe tliiuk it im¬ 
portant the AA'ringer slioiild be fitted with COGS.”— [Orange 
Judd, Editor of American Agriculturist. 
“ I he.artily commend it to economists of time, money and 
contentment.”—[Tlie Rev. Dr. Bellows.

ESTEY’S 
COTTACIE ORGANS 
and MELOHEOI^S, 
WITH PATENTED IMPROVEMENTS, 
RENDERING THEM GREATLY SUPERIOR 
TO OTHER REED INSTRUMENTS. 
1st. In quick articulation. 
2nd. In Eoundness of Tone. 
3d. In Volume of Tone. The three great essen¬ 
tials in instruments of this class. 
These are accomplished by the peculiar con¬ 
struction and VOICING of the Reeds, the use of 
the P.atent Harmoniu-m Attachment, wliicb 
doubles the power by coupling the octavo; the 
Patent Manual Sub-Bass, a substitute for Pedal 
Bass, and the general arrangement of the instrument. 
This House has been manufacturing and improving during the last twenty years, until,-n-itliout unusual ebbrt, or exten¬ 
sive advertising, they have two of the largest manufactories in the United States, and yet can scarcely meet the demand for 
these truly remarkable instruments. 
They recently took the Firet Premium at the Albany and Troy Union Fair, and at the Michigan and Indiana State Fairs, 
over those of all the leading manufacturers in the land. They have been tested side by side with others in Churches and 
Parlors, and have uniformly borne off the palm. 
Testimonials could be multiplied indefinitely if space would allow. 
Jauhne, the celebrated Organ Builder, of New York, pronounces them superior to all otliers in “ exceedingly quick ar¬ 
ticulation and round tone," wliich judgment is confirmed by every Organist who lias tested them. 
John H. 'VYauxei:, Organist, New'-York, says: " I regard ESTEY’S COTTAGE OliGANS as combining more cxcehencea 
than any other lieed Instrument I have ever seen. They are remarkable for sweetness and variety of expression, combined: 
with unusual volume of tone." 
C. Heintz, Organist, says: “Tlds Organ is the best for the size I ever saw', and the best adapted for Church Music- 
of any in use.” 
Prof. OscAU Mato, says: ‘‘Its great range and resources for effect are really astonishing. * * * »« I prefer tlicim 
above all others.” 
To prove my sincerity in these statements I make the following proposition: Any reader of the Aoutcttltttkist, pur¬ 
chasing one of these instruments, with tlie improvements, and finding it on fair trial, by impartial and competent judges,, 
to fail in meeting these representations, shall have his money refunded and the Instrument returned without expense to the- 
purchaser. As to the matter of my responsibility, I refer to Oraxge Jtjdd, Esq. 
I also keep on liand thoroughly made and beautiful Pianos, which 1 sell much below the usual prices for this class of iij- 
struments, and w’arrant them for five years.
