Miscellaneous. 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 th<t it is only ne.ossary to reason upon its peculiarities to enable any peison to appre-. ciate its advantage in the family over every other one in une. Whit these advantages are claimed to be we propose briefly to state, that » comparison may be driiwn between the Grovor and iiaker and other Machines— 1. It makes the only seam formed by a Sewing Machine in which each stitch is independently locked, anil without dependence 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 the B"am in wear. It is unnecessary to fasten oft the ends of seams, this being done bj the Machine itself without the use 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 Into a shuttle f om throe to five times for the under thread. A seam thus formed is more elastic than any other made by a Seizing Machine, and is con sequently very valuable in all goods that are to be washed and sketched under the iron 3. The Machine Is adapted to all varieties o fabrics, sewinir each equally well, and require no adjustment for any hind of sewing other than the adaption of needles aod thread, and by reason of its simplicity of construction and emt of management it is best adapted to all the wants of a family. The Lock or Shuttle Stitch Machines manufactured by Grover and Baker, niakiag the Ream alike on both sides of the fabric, needs little comment, and parties desiring to invest, are respectfuly 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 Joe Declared he could no further go. i Jim's hurry would not brook delay, So like a shot ha 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, . j . ' Walking along but very slow, j 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 eaße and comfort go, , Dame Nature's gifts I don't abuse, And Hemtjs always makes my shoes.
