Miscellaneous.1? , HAVE SPECIAL CLAIMS to pub lic attention, as a very superior and valuable as'istant in huutehold iuduury. I'uat thiß Machine has made thousands of friends who attest itß superiority over everything elso cannot be doubted ; and it is claimed fh»t it is only necessary to reason upon its peculiarities to enable any petson to appre ciate Its advantages in the family over every other one in mo. What these advantages are claimed to be wo propose bi iefly to ttate, that a comparison m»y be drawn tetween the Grover and Jiakcr and other Machines— 1. It makes the only seam formed by a Sewing Mnehino in which each stitch is independently locked, and without dependance upon the rthcr stitches for strength, and the only seam that will adroit of the thread being cut at every fourtli stitch without injury to the Ri am in wear. It is unnecessary to fasten off the ends of Ream?, this being done bj the Machine itself without tha ueo of the hand needle. 2. The Grover and Baker stitch la the only one formed from two ordinary reek, and without winding from the reel Into a shuttle lorn 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 ■ scquently very valuable in all goods that are i to be washed and stretched under tlie iron 3. The Machine Is adapted to all varieties o fibrins, Bewir.t* each equally well, and require no adjustment tor any kind of sewing other than tha adaption of n*.ed!t s a»d thread, and ' by reason of its Biraplifity of construction jand easß of mftna/tpmont it is best adapted to all the wants of a family. The Lock or Shuttle Stitch Machines manufactured by Grover and Baker, making the team 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 uso. as to their superior merits over any other Lock Stitch Machine made. N* JLUs.Parts, Cotton, SiV:, <frc., always on hand.

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 ho could no further go. Jim's hurry would cot brook delay, So like a shot ho sped away ; His journey and his business o'er, He took the road for home onco more. When half-way back he met poor Joe, Walking along but very Blow, Who when ho saw that it was Jim, I With.rueful face thus question'd him : " Pray tell me friend how it can be, That you can walk so light and free, i While I, with blisters on each toe, Havo fivo-and-twenty milet to go ?" Quoth Jim, " The secret you shall know How I with eaße apd comfort go, Dame Naturo's gifts I don't abuse, And Hemtjs always makes my shoes.
