Miscellaneous. HAVE SPECIAL CLAIMS to pub lic attention, as a very superior and valuable assistant in household industry. That this Machine has made thousands of friends who attest Its superiority over everything else cannot be doubted ; and it fs claimed that it is only nec.ssary to reason upon its pecuMarities to enable any person to appre ciate its advantages in tho family over every other one in use. What these advantages are claimed to be wo propose briefly to btate, that a comparison may be drawn between the Grover and Baker and other Machines— 1. It makes the only Ream 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 that will admit of the thread being cut at every fourth stitch without injury to the Sfiam in wear. It is unnecessary to fasten off the ends of seams, this being done by tho Machine itself without the use of the hand needle. 2. The Grover and B. ker stitch Is the only one formed from two ordinary reels, and without winding from the reel Into a shuttle f om three to five times for tho under thread. A seam thus formed is more elastic than any other made by a, Sewing Machine, and is con sequently very valuable in all goods that are to be vjashed and stretched under the iron 3. The Machine is adapted to all varieties o fabrics, sev> _- g each equally well, and require no adjustment /or any kind of sewing other than the adaption of needles and thread, and by reason of its simplicity of construction and easb of management it is beat adapted to all the wants of a family. The Lock or Shuttle Stitch Machines manufsctured by Grover and Baker, making the warn alike on both sides of the fabric, needs little comment, and pnrties desiring to invest, are respectfully requested to make enquiries of those who have t'rem in use, as to their superior merits over airy other Loct Stitch Machine made. Nicdles,Parts, Cotton, Silk, _.-.., always on hand. The following testimonials are published as samples of tho many we are constantly receiving from all parts of the world, and we purpose replacing them fre quently by others, so that the public may form an idea of th.

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, • < . \ ] j With rueful face thus question'd him : V " 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 - Quoth Jim, " The secret you shall know How I with ease and comfort go, ■ . > Dame Nature's giftß I don't abuse,.
