Miscellaneous* HAVE SPECIAL CLAIMS to pub- He 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 elso 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 bo we propose briefly to 'itate, that a comparison may be drawn between tho Grover and Baker and other Machines— 1. It makes the only Beam formed by a Sewing Muchine in which each stitch is independently locked, and without dependance upon the other stitches for strength, and the only seam that will admit of the thread being cut at every fourth stitch without injury to tho B»am in wear. It is unnecessary to fasten off tho ends of seam 3, this heing done bj the Machine itself without tho use of the hand needle. 2. The Grover and Biker stitch is the only one formed from two ordinary reels, and without winding from the reel Into a shuttle f om throe to five times for tho uude^ thread. A seam thus formed is more clastic than any other mack by a Suiting Machine, and is con sequently very valuable in all goods that are to be masked and stretched under the iron, 3. 9he Machine Is adapted to all varieties o fabrics, sewkEf each eqmlly wt;ll, and require no adjustment for any kind of sewing other than tho adaption of needles aid thread, and by reason of its simplicity of construction and eas , of management it is best adapted to all the watirs of a family. The Lock or Shuttle Stitch Machines manufactured by Orover and Baker, making the warn alike on both sides of the fabric, needs little comment, and pwtiea desiring to invest, are respectfully requested to make enquiries of thoso who have them in use. as to their superior merits over aay othor Locs Stitch Machine made. Needles, Farts, Cotton, Silk, &c, always on luind. The following testimonials are published as samples of tho many we are constantly receiving from all parts of the world, and we purpose replacing them fre quently by others, co that tho public may form an idea of tho Grover and Bsfcer's S.M. Co's Machines, by those who have them in uso. "130, end 132, Queen street' " Auckland, 17th March, 1876.

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, Through bush and brake, o'er plain and hill, But very soon the one eall'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, 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 yon shall know How I with ease and comfort go, Dame Nature's gifts I don't abuse, And Hemus always makes my shoes. We forget whether Jim wore a pair of out Men's Elastic Sides or Balmoral Boots at 12s 6d, but they both go well.
