That this Machine has made thousands of friends who attest its superiority over everything elso cannot be doubted ; and it is claimed thit it is only necessary to reason upon its peculiarities to enable any person to appre ciate its advantages in the family over every other one in use. What tt'eee advantages are claimed to be we propone briefly to state, that a comparison may be drawn between the Grover and Uaker 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 evory fourth stitch without injury to the B"am in wear. It is unnecessary to fasten off the enda of scams, this being done b? the Machine itself without tho use of the hand needle. 2. The Grover and Baker stitch is the onlr one formed from two ordinary reels, and without winding from the reel Into a shuttle t om three to five times for the under thread. A scam thus formed is more elastic than any other made by a Sewing Machine, and is con sequently very valuable in all goods tliat are io be %-a'shcd and stretched under the iron 3. The Machine is arlapted to all varieties o fabrics, sewics? each equally wall, and requlr c no adjustment for any kind of sewing other than the adoption of ntedles and thread, and by reasnn of its simplicity of construction and easo of management it is btst 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 the fabric, needs little comment, and parties desiring to invest, are respectfully requested to make enquiries of those who have tl'em in use. r.s to their superior merits over any other Lock Stitch Machine made.

Away they sj)od witn rijrlit 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 toll me friend how it can be, That you can walk bo light and free, While I, with blisters on each toe, Have flve-and-twenty miles to go ?!' 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. We forget whether Jim wore a pair of our Men's Elastic Sides or Balmoral Boots at 12s fid, but they both go well.
