Away thoy sped with right good will, Through bush and brake, o'er plain and hill, But very soon the ono call'd Joe Declared he could no further go. Jim's hurry would cot brook delay, So like a shot ho sped away ; Bis jourrxjy and his business o'er, Ho took the road for home once more. When half way back he met poor Joe, Walking along but very slow, Who whon he saw that it was Jim, With rueful face thus c^nestiou'd him : " Pray toll me f riond how it can be. That you can walk so light and free, Whilo I, with blisters on each toe, Have five-and-twenty mile_ to go ?" Quoth Jim, "The secret you ehall know How I with ease and comfort go, Dame Nature's gifts I don't abuse, And Hemus always makes my shoes. Wo forget whether Jim wore a pair of our Men's Elastic Sickis cr. Balmoral Boots at 12s 6d, but they both go well.

TTAVE SPECIAL CLAIMS to pub -i—ft. lie attention, as a very superior and valuable assistant in household industry. That tills Machine has made thousands of friend 3 who attest its superiority over everything else 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 these advantages are claimed to be we propose briefly to state, that a comparison may be drawn between the Grover and iiaker and other Machines— 3. It makes the only team formed by a Sewing Mh chine in which each stitch is independently locked, and without deoendance 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 sam in wear. It is unnecessary to fasten off the ends of scams, this being done bj the Machine itself without the use of the hand needle 2, The Grover and B*ker stitch is the only one fernied from two ordinary reels, and without winding from the reel into a shuttle from three to five times for the under thread. A scam thus formed is more elastic than any other made hy a Reicing Machine, and is con scqwntly very valuable in all goods that are to be washed and stretched under the iron, 3. The Machine Is adapted to all varieties of fabrics, uewirie; each equally well, and require no adjustment for any kind of sewing othe than the adaption of n(■edits aid thread, and by reason of its simplicity of construction and ease of management it is best adapted to all the wants of a family. The Lock or Shuttle Stitch Machines manufactured by Grover and Baker, makiiag 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 them in use. rs to their superior merits over aoy other Locs Stitch Machine made.
