Miscellaneous. Premium HAVE SPECIAL CLAIMS to pub lic attention, as a very superior and valuable assistant in household induttry. That this Machine has made thousands of friends who attest its superiority over everything else cannot be doubted ; and it is claimed that it ia only necessary to reason upon its peculiarities to enable any person to appre ciate its advantages in the family over every other one in mo. What these advantages are claimed to be we propose briefly to ttate, that a comparison may be drawn between the Grorer and Eaker and other Machines— 1, It makes the only seam formed by a Sewing Machine in which each stitch is independently locked, and without dependance upon the: other stitches for strength, and the only seam j 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 by the ; Machine itself without the use of the hand needle. 2, The Grover and Biker stitch Is the only one formed from two ordinary reels, and without winding from the reel Into a shuttle f om t'iree to five times for the under thread. A: scam, thus formed is more elastic than any oilier made by a Sating Machine, and is con si.quently very valuable in all goods that are to be washed and stretched under the iron, 8. lha Machine is adapted to all varieties o fabilca, oowiiof nap.h (tonally wall, and reauire no adjustment for any kind of sewiDg other than the adaption of m-edles and thread, and by reas in of its simplicity of construction and eass of ranna/i ment it is besi adapted to all the wants of a family. The Lock or Shuttle Stitch Machines manufactured by Grover and Baker, making the Beam alike on loth sides of the fabric, needs little comment, and parties desiring to invest, are respec.fu ly requested to make enquiries of those who have tl-em in use. as to their buperlor merits over any other Loci Stitch Machine made. Needles, Parts, Cotton, Sillc, <£-c, 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, to that the public may form an idea of the Grover and Biker's S.M. Co's Machines, by those who have them in use. " 130, and 13?, Queen-street' " Auckland, 17th March, 1878.

Two men 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 and free, While I, with blisters on each toe, Have five-and-twenty miles to go V j Quoth Jim, " The secret you shall know \ How I with ease and comfort go, Dame Nature's gifts I don't abuse, And Hemtjs always makes my shoes. - i ' ■ : We forget whether Jim wore a pair of our Men's Elastio Sides or Balmoral Boots at 12s 6d, but they both go well.
