Miscellaneous. HAVESSPECIAL CLAIMS to pub lic attention, as a very snoerior and valuable assistant in household industry. That this Machine haa mado thousands of friends who attest Its superiority over everything else cannot be doubted ; and it (s claimed tint it is only necessary to reason upon its peculiarities to enable any person to appre ciate its advantages in tho family over every other one in use. What these advantages are olaimed to be we propose briefly to ttato, that a comparison may be drawn between tho Grover and Baker and other Machines— L It makes the only seam formed by a Sewing Machine in which each stitch is independently locked, and without dependance upon the rther stitches for strength, and the only seam that will admit of the thread being cut at every fourth stitch without injury to the s»am in wear. It is unnecessary to fasten off the ends of seams, this being done bj the Machine itself without the use of the hand needle. 2, The Grover and Baker stitch is the only one formed from two ordinary reels, and without winding from the reel isto a shuttle f om three to five times for the under tbread. A scam thus formed is more clastic than any other made by a Sewing Machine, and is con sequently very valuable in all goods that are to be washed and stretched under the iron, 3. The Machine Is adapted to all varieties o fabrics, sewing each equally well, and require no hdjustment for any kind of sewing other than the adaption of needles and thread, and by reason of its simplicity of construction and eas" of mana.f ment it is best adapted to all the wants of a family. The Lock or Shuttle Stitch Machines manufactured by Grover and Baker, making the seam alike on toth sides of the fabric, needs little comment, and parties desiring to invest, are respectfully requested to make enquiries of those who have t. om in use. ss to their superior merits over any other Loc* Stitch Machine made. Needles, Parts, Cotton, Silk, dse., always on hand. " The following testimonials are published as samples of the many we are constantly receiving from all parts of the world, and we purpose replacing them fre quently by others, co that the public may form an idea of the Grover and Biker's S.M.

Two mon a journey had to go ' (The one Was Jim, the other Joe), The distance two score miles and ten, And fifty long miles back again. Away they sped with right good will, Through bush and brake, o'er plain and hill, But very soon the one call'd Joe Declared he could no further go. Jim's hurry would not brook delay, So like a shot he sped away; His journey and his business o'er, He took the road for home once more. When half way back he met poor Joe, Walking along but very slow, Who when he saw that it was Jim, With rueful face thus question'd him : " Pray tell me friend how It can be, That you can walk so light ahd free, While I, with blisters on each toe, Have five-and-twenty miles to go ?" Quoth Jim, " The secret you shall know How I with easo and comfort go, . Dame Nature's gifts I don't abuse, ' And Hem us always makes my Bhoes. We forget whether Jim wore a pair of our Men's Elastic Sides or Balmoral Boots at 12s 6d, but they both go well.
