An exquisite Oil Painting by the celebrated 
American Painter, Mr. B. F. Reinhart, executed 
expressly for the American Agriculturist and entitled 
“UP FOR REPAIRS,” 
has been most successfully reproduced in Chromo

picture of a scene in childhood, which many will 
recognize as what they have themselves witnessed 
or been actors in, and can not fail to please both 
old and young.

THE BECKWITH PORTABLE 
FAMILY SEWING MACHINE. 
PRICE $20. 
Enlarged and Improved. Its Weight is 7 Pounds. 
PORTABLE FAMILY MACHINE. 
A new and very simple braiding-foot has been made, 
by which a child can sew on braid without tbe least 
trouble, following any desired pattern with ease ; also a 
new arm, spiral spring and lever for raising the presser- 
foot, all of which are now set in a position that leaves 
the needle free to be threaded. The joint is much en¬ 
larged, and the machine is otherwise greatly strengthen¬ 
ed and improved. The use of the braider-foot alone will 
lie valued more than the cost of the machine. 
The $20 I*ortsil»le Family Msichine 
Comprises all the excellencies of the former machines, 
with many valuable improvements. Its size and power are 
increased, and its capacity thus very much enlarged,without 
impairing its portability. There have been added cam and 
eccentric movement, a balance-wheel, and also an oscillat¬ 
ing needle-clamp, by which the length of stitch can with the 
greatest ease he changed to the finest 6hade of variation 
without touching the needle. 
Each of these machines is put in a neat, compact 
box, with hemmer and guide, oil-can with oil, thread, 
different-sized needles, etc., with full Printed Directions 
for using. 
To any one sending us $20, we will send one of the Machines 
(packed in a neat, portable case, with handle to carry it 
easily), expressage to be paid by purchaser.
