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, "Walking along 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 ?" Quoth Jim, "The secret you shall know How I with ease and comfort go, Dame Nature's gifts I don't abuse, And Hemus always makes my shoes.

Misettliaiieou... HA YE SPECIAL CLAIMS to pub lie 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.tit is only nec.esary to reason upon its peculiarities to enable any person to appre ciate its advar.taf.fs in th« family over every other one in use. What the?e advantages are claimed to be we propose briefly to state, that a comparison may be drawn "between the Grover and Baker and other Machines— 1. It makes the only seam formed by a 3e'wi_.£ Mochine in which each rititch is independently locked, and without dependance upon the other stitches for strength, and tho only seam that will admit of the thread being cut at every fourth stitch without injury to the s am in wear. It is unnecessaiy to fasten off the ends of seam?, this being done bi the Machine itself without the u.e of the hand needle 2. The Grover and Baker stitch is the only one formed from two ordinary reels, and without winding from the reel luto a shuttle f om throe to five times for lhe under thread. A scam thus formed is more elastic than any other made by a Sewing Machine, and is con sequenily very valuable in all goods that are to be washed and sin tched under the iron, 3. The Machine is adapted to all varietieso fab lies, sewit g each equally well, and require no adjustment lor any kind of sewing othe than tho adaption of needbs and thread, and by reason of its simplicity of construction and easu of macagrment it is best adapted to all the wants of a family. The Lock or Shuttle Stitch Machines manufactured by Grover and Baker, making the stain 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 trem in use. as to their superior merits over any other Loc* Stitch Machine made. Needles, Parts, Cotton, Silk, etc., always on hand. The following testimonials are published as samples of the many we are constantly receiving from all parts of the world, and we purpose replacing them fre quently by "thers, so that the public may form an idea of the Grover and Biker's S.M. Co's Machines, by those who have them in use. " 130, and 13., Qneenstreet' "Auckland, 17th March, 1876.
