Miscellaneous. , $m ' ' '■ %R HAVE SPECIAL CLAIMS to pub lic 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 that 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 Grovor and Baker and other Machines— 1. It makes the only seam formed by a Sewing Machine in which each stitch is independently locked, and without dependance upon the ether stitches for strength, and the only seam that will admit of the thread being cat at every fourth stitch without injury to the Bcom in wear. It is unnecessary to fasten off the ends of seams, this being done bj the Machine itself without thu use of the hand needle. 2. The Grover and Baker stitch la the only one formed from two ordinary reels, and without winding from the reel Into a shuttle fom throe to five times for the under thread. A seam, thus formed Is more elastic than any other made by a Sen-ing Machine, and is con sequently very valuable in all goods that are to be washed and stretched under the iron 3. The Machine ia adapted to all varieties o fabrics, sewing each equally well, and requir o no adjustment for any kind of sewing other than the adaption of nnedles and thread, and by reason of its simplicity of construction and east* of management it is best adapted to all the wants of a family. The Lock or Shuttle Stitch Machines manufactured by Grover and Baker, making 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. as to their superior merits over any other Lock Stitch Machine made.

Away they sped with right good will, Through bush and brake, o'er plain and hill, But very soon the one call'd Jo« Declared he could no further go. Jim's hurry wouia 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 ho met poor Joo, Walking along but very slow, Who when he saw that it was Jim, With.rueful faoe 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 mileß to go ?" Quoth Jim, " The secret you Bhall know How I with ease and comfort go, Dame Nature's gifts I don't abuse, And Hemus always makes my shoes.
