Miscellaneous. TJAVE -SPECIAL CLAIMS to pub- JHL lie attention, as a very superior and valuable assistant In honsehrld industry. That thin Machine has made thousands of friends who attest its superiority over everything elss cannot be doubted; and It )B claimed tint it is only necessary to reason upon its peculiarities to enablfi any pe>son to appre ciate its advanrasjm in tlm family over every other one in use. What thOFe advantages are claimed to be wo propose briefly to state, that it comparison may be drawn between the Grovtr and iiaker and other Machines— 1. It makes the only f earn formed by a Sewing Machine in which each stitch is independently lccktfd. and withcut deoebdance upon the other stitches for strength, and the only seam that will admit of the thread being nut at every fourth stitch without injury to the B- am in v;e,:T. 1- is urneces»ary to fasten off the ends of peares, this neinß done bj tho Machine itself without tho me of the hand needle. 2, The Grovor acd Biker stitch is the only one formed from two ordinary reels, and without windiEf,' from tho reel >r,to a shuttle f om U,rut) to live times for the under thread. A scam thus formal is mere elastic than any other wade L>i a. Reusing Machine and is con sequently very valuable in all goods that arc to be washed and stretched under the iron, 3. 9he Machine is adapted to all varieties*) fuhriea, pewircteacliequnHywe)!, and require tio adjnstmcot lor any kind of sowing otho Ulan tho adaption of needles ai-d thread, and by reason of its simplicity of construction and eas': of rannajzement it is bust adapted to all the wants of a family. The Lock or Shuttle Stitch Machines nmnuf.iCtuTcd by Grover and Baker, making ihe «cam alike on both sides of the fabric, needs little comment, Mid p«rtie3 desiring to invest, are respectfully requested to make enquiries of those who have tbejn in use. aa to their superior merits over any other Lock Stitch Machine made. Needles, Parts, Colton, Silk, etc., always on hand. The following testimonials are published as samples of the m»nv we are constantly receiving from all parts of the world, and we purpose replacing them fre qurntly by '.thers, so that the public mar forni an idea of the C rover and Bjher'a S M\ Co's Machinep, \.iy those v;ho have them in use.

Away they sped with right good will, Through bush and brake, o'er plain and Mil, But very soon the one call'd Joe Declared ho could no mrther go. Jim's hurry would not brook delay, So like a shot be sped away ; His journey and his business o'er, Eh 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 mo friend how it can bo, That you can walk so light and free, While I, with blisters on each toe, Have five-and-twenty mileb to go ?" Quoth Jim, " The secret 3'ou Bhall know ' How I with ease and comfort go, Dame Nature's gifts I don't abuse, And Hemus always makes my shoes.
