'They hem and width, cord, quilt, DRAID, FELL, GATHER, TUCK, BIND, AND embroider, and are considered by competent judges to be the bust Sewing Machines yet known. The following are a few of the many testimonials we are constantly receiving, furnishing a convincing proof of their superiority. From the ‘ * Express —‘ ‘ Having had an opportunity for several months past of closely inspecting the workibg of a Grover and Baker’s Sewing Machine, we have much pleasure in testifying that it is adapted for every kind of work set forth in the prospectus. It combines the charms of plain stitching with the attractions of embroidery, in which of course the femalemind especialy delights. Although the Grover and Baker’s machine isycxxeediiydy useful for plain sewing, it that it takes its highest rank aiyouaitsAowipetitors, none of whom that we know having attained such excellence. The machines are, in fact, in every way invaluable to households, and when the immense saving of labor compared with hand-sewing is taken into consideration, it is remarkable that they are not more generally used.” . . . “ No. 45, Adelaidestreet, Melbourne, October 20, 18G8.- Gentlemen, —Having one of your N0.26 Cabinet Sewing Machines in use for nearly four years, I have much pleasure in being able to speak of its excellence. In addition to domestic work, we use it for the various materials in nphelstery, silk, bed-ticking, drugget, and furniture leather, and find it all that can bo desired. It has never been out of order nor given any tremble in working from the first week, and I believe it to be the beat machine extant. I am, gentlemen, yours, &c., D. M. Crowley, upholsterer.

For now, as in the time of La Bruyere, “ many men expend the early part of their lives’in contributing to render the latter part miserable,” frequently realising Spenser’s (Ascription— As pale and wan as ashes was his looke, His body leane and meagre is a rake, And skin all withered like a dried rooke, In all countries, and especially in newlyscti led regions, where a disparity of the sexes exists, There is an order Of mortals on the earth, who do become Old in their youth, and die ere middle age.

SMITH, For eighteen years the leading Consulting Medjpal Man in Melbourne in all Special and in all Complaints incidental to HiriflKmatos. In tins work will be found an answer to the qrpjstion which beads this advertisement. In the Australian Colonies, more than in the Mother Country, is continually heard complaint that young men will not marry, and their conduct in abstaining from marriage, in certain cases, is highly commendable, for—“lt is less a breach of Wedlock to part than still to foil and profane that Mystery of Joy and Union with a polluting Sadness and Perpetual Distemper.”—Milton. Yet it cannot he disputed that the highest degree of earthly happiness is that yielded by the permanent enjoyment of the married state, for—- “ Without our hopes, without our fears, Without the Home that plighted love endears, Without the smile from partial Beautv won, Oh ! what were Man ?—a World without a Sun. —Campbell. It is true that many marriages prove unhappy from there being no children and other causes ; hut it is equally true that the cause of unhappiness is generally removable ; for of nearly every woman it may he saidi “ I” any honest suit she’s framed as fruitful As the free elements.”—Shakespeare.

Holloway’s Ointment and Pills.— In ulcerous complaints, when the vitality of the parts effected is partially destroyed, Holloway’s renovating Ointment renews in the paralyxed flesh and crawded blood the elements of reproduction. While penetrating through the absorbents of th j unseen source of the disorder, it opens the pores for the exhalation of the viscid and purulent matter near the surface and imparts a degree of vigor to all the external vessels, which enables them rapihly to replace the corruption thus discharged, with sound flesh. All gatherings, sores, boils, glandular supparations, etc., are readily cured in this way the cure being assisted and expedited by the internal operation t>f the Pills.
