Miscellaneous. ] HAVE SPECIAL CLAIMS to pub lic attention, as a very superior and valuable assistant in househuld industry. That this Machine has made thousands of friends who attest Its superiority over everything else cannot be doubted ; and it is claimed that it is only nee .Bsary to reason upon its peculiarities to enable any peison to appre ciate its advantages in the family over every other one In use. What these advantages are claimed to be we propose briefly to Etate, that a comparison may be drawn between tho Grover and Baker 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 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 Into a shuttle f om three to five times for the 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 washed and stretched under the iron, 3. The Machine is adapted to all varieties o fabrics, sewi_geach equally well, and require no adjustment for any kind of sewing other than the adaption of n< edits and thread, and by reascn of its simplicity of construction and oas>i of management 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 both sides of tbe fabric, needs little comment, and parties desiring to invest, are respectfully requested to make enquiries of those who have them in use, as to their buperlor merits over aDy other Loci Stitch Machine made. Needles, Parts, Cotton, Silk, <£•-., 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, so that the public may form an idea of the Grover and Biker's S.M.

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 ho saw that it was Jim, Withjrueful 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. aact-twenty miles to go ?" Quoth Jim," The secret you Bhall know " . How I with ease and comfort go, Dame Nature's gifts I don't abuse, And Hemus always makes my shoes. We forget whether Jim wore a pair of onr Men's Elastic Sides or Balmoral Boots at 12s 6d, but they both go well.
