Miscellaneous* HAVEJ3PECTAL CLAIMS to pub lic attention, as a very superior and valuable assistant in household industry. That this Machine has mad© thousands of friends who attest its auperioiity over everythii g else cannot be doubted ; and it \s claimed ih-t it is only nicmry to reason upon its peculiarities to enable any person to appre ciate its advauiages in the family over every other one in use. What these luli-antages are claimed to be we propose biicfly to ttaie. that a comparison may be drawn between the Grover and Baker and other Machines— 1. It makes the only team formed by a Sewing Machine in which each stitch U independently locked, and without denecdance upon the (ther 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. Ii is unnecessary to fasten off tho ends of seams, this being done bj the Machine itself without the use of the hand needle. 2. The Grover and Biker 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 scam thus formed is more clastic than any oilier made by «, Fevsing 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, eewi 'trenchequ illy Wi<ll, uijdrequire do hdjustment (or any kind of sewing other than the adaption of medlt-s aid thread, and by reason of its simplicity of construction and eiis-. of raanajfrnsnt it is best adapted to all the wants of a family. The Lock or Shuttle Stitch Machines manufactured by (>rover and Baker, making the seam alike on both sides of the fabric, needs llttie comment, and parties desiring to invest are respectfully requested to make enquiries of those who have them in use, ss to (heir superior merits over acy other Loci Stitch Machine made. Needles, Parts, Cotton, Silk, die., always on hand. " The following testimonials are published assam^lei of the many we are constantly receiving from all parts of the world, and we purpose replacing them fre quently by others, co that the public may form an idea of the Grover and Baker's S.M.

AN OLD STORY RE-MORAL'D - ■ '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 couid no further go. Jim's hurry Would not brook delay, So like a shot ho Bped 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 tell rue 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 ?" Quoth Jim, " The secret you shall know How I with ease and comfort go, Dame Nature's gifre I don't abuse, And Hemtjs always makes my shoes. We forget whether Jim wore a pair of our Men'i Elastic Sides or Balmoral Boots at 12s 6d, but thej both go well.
