That this Machine lifts made thousands of friends who attest its superiority over everything else cannot be doubted ; and it ;s claimed',h.t it 13 only necafisary to reason upon its peculiarities to enablo any person to appre ciate it« advama^rs iv the family over every other one in me. "Whit ti;e?e advantages are claimed to be we propose briefly to itate, that a comparison may be drawn hetwoen tho Grover and iiaker and other Machines — 1. It makes the only peam formed by a Sewing Machine in which each stitch is independently locked, and without depondance upon the oilier stitches for strength, and the only seam that will admit of the thread being cut at every fourth stitch without injury,to the iram in wear. It is unnecessary to fasten off the ends of scams, this being done bj the Machine itself without tho use ol the hand needle. 2. Tho Grover and. Biker stitch is theonlvone foirnedfroni two ordinary reels, aDd without winding from the reel Into a shuttle f ran throe to five time, for the under thread. A seomi 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 stapled to all varieties o fabric (, sewi^fif each equally w; jll, and require to adjustment !or any kind of sewiDg other than tho adaption of medlts ar.'d thread, and by reason of its simplicity of construction and easi> of rriHiiawf-msnt it is bust adapted to all the wants of a family.

Two mon 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 9ped ■with right good will, i 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, i Walkingalong but very slow, 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 so light and free, While I, with blisters on each toe, Have five-and-twenty miles to go ?" I Quoth Jim, " The secret you shall know How I with ease ajnd 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 Hen's Elastic Sides or Balmoral Boots at 12s 6d, but they both po well. His wife has kept up to him for years, and she wears our own make Kid Elastio,Sides at 10s 6d. HEMUS'S STAR BOOT WAREHOUSE, Market Corner, Queen-street. 1,000 V z R D s HOMESPUN ALLWOOL, Is. 4d.
