Miscellaneous' TTAVE?BPECIAL CLAIMS to pub -11 He 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 Is claimed th*t it is only nec-ssary to reason upon its peculiarities to enable any person to appre ciate its advaniages in the family over every other one in use. What these advantages are claimed to be we propose bi icily to itate, that a comparison may be drawn between the Grover and Baker and other Machines— 1. It makes the only oearn formed by a Sewing iUcbine in which each Btitchis independently locked, and without denendance upon the ether stitches for strength, and the only seam that will admit of the thread being cut at every fourth stitch without injury to the B'-am in wear. It is unnecessary to fasten off the ends of seams, this being done bj the Machine itself without the UEe of the hand needle. 2. The Grover and Bsker stitch is the only one formed from two ordinary reels, and without winding from the reel Into a shuttle fom threo to five times for the under thread. A scam, thus formed is more elastic than any other made by a Resting Machine and in con sequently very valuable, in all yoods that are to be washed and stretched under the iron, 3. The Machine Is nf'apted to all varieties of f<O>ri«c. (tewing each equally Well, srjdrequire) co adjustment for any bind of sewing other than the adaption of medJUs aid thread, and by reason of its simplicity of construction and ease of management it ia best adapted to all the wants of a family. The Lock or Shuttle Stitch Machines manufactured by Grover and Baker, making the Etam 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 tbem in use. *s to their tuperior merits over auy other Loci Stitch Machine made. Needles, Parts, Cotton, Silk, etc., always on hand. The following testimonials are published as samples of the many we arr 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 Bikei'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 oall'd Joe Declared he could no further go. Jim's hurry would not brook delay, So like a Bhot ho sped away ; His journey and his.businesH o'er. Ho took the road for home once more. . When half way back he met poor Joe, Walking along but very Bio iv, 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 bo light and free, While I, with blisters on each toe, Have five-and-twenty miles to go ?" Quoth Jim, " The secret you shall Jmow : . ; How I with enßo 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 our Men'i Elastic Sides or Balmoral Boots at 12s 6d, but the^ both go well.'
