The records of history inform us of the high antiquity of the art of needlework: and its beautiful mysteries were amongst the earliest developments of female taste and ingenuity. As civilization increased, new wants ealled forth new exertions; the loom poured forth its multifarious materials, and the needle, with its accompanying implements, gave form and utilty to the fabrics submitted to its operations. No one can look upon the NEEDLE without emotion ; it is a constant companion throughout the pilgrimage of life.
