THE GROVER & BAKER <j ELASTIC AND LOCK-STITCH r SEWING MACHINES A EE so well known and so univorr\ sally used, that any description of their advantages is superfluous. They hem and width, cokd, quilt, BRAID, FELL, GATHER, TUCK, BIND, AND embroider, and are considered by competent judges to be the best 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 ami 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 tb4 charms of plain stitching of embroidery, in which,fjj<nal>mind especialy delights. Although Baker's machine is iiSSul for plain sewing, it is anoembroiderer that it takes its highest rank among its competitors, none of whom that we know of 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, 1868.- Gentlemen, —Having one of your No. 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 upholstery, silk, bed-ticking, drugget, and furniture leather, and find it all that can be desired. It has never been out of order nor given any trouble in working from the first week, and I believe it to be the best machine extant. I am, gentlemen, yours, &c., I). M. Crowley, upholsterer.

Cowl’Eß. £VEN IN THE HEALTHY CLIMATE of Australia there are many men— Whoso legs, like loaden branches, bow to the earth, Willing to leave their burden. Shakespeare. 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 discription— As pale and wyl as \yis-his looke, His a rake, And skinCidTwithm(fd nke a dried rooke, In all countries, an/T especially in newlysetiled regions, wnere 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 Medical Man in Melbourne in all Special Diseases, and in all Complaints incidental to Hot Climates. In this work will be found an answer to the question which heads this advertisement. In the Australian Colonies, more than in the Mother Country, is continually heard the 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 profiine that Mystery of Joy and Union with a polluting Sadness and Perpetual Distemper.”—M ilton. Yet it cannot be 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 Beauty 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 ; but it is equally true that the cause of unhappiness is generally removable ; for of nearly every woman it may be saidi “ I" any honest suit she’s framed as fruitful As the free elements.”—Shakespeare.
