THE GROVER & BAKER ELASTIC AND LOCK-STITCH S E G MACHINES ARE so well known and so universally used, that any description of their advantages is superfluous. 'I HEY HEM AND WIDTH, CORD, 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 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 ootjrse the femalomind especialy delights.' Although the Grover and Baker's machine is exceedingly useful for plain sewing, it is : an embroiderer 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 rejnarkable that they are not more generally used.” • . . “No. 45, Adelaidestreet, Melbourne, October 20. ISGB. - Gentlemen,—Having one of your No. 26 Cabinet Sewing Machines in use for nearly four years, I have much pleasure in being aide to speak of its excellence In addition to domestic work, we use it for the various materials in uphelstery, 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, Ac., D. M. Crowley, upholsterer.

(7 YEN IN THE HEALTHY CLIMATE i j of Australia there are many men— Whose legs, like loaden branches, bow to the earth, Willihg 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 tbe latter part miserable,” frequently realising Spenser’s discription— As pale and wan as ashes was his looko, His body loane and meagre as a rake, And skin all withered like a dried rooke, In all countries, and especially in newlysetiled 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 era middle age. Byron. While it is a well established fact that Anguish of mind has driven thousands to suicide.—Colton. Recently published, in lOino, cloth boards, price 4s. 6d.

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 abroach of Wedlock to part than still to foil and probmo 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 Homo that plighted love endears, Without the smile from partial Beauty won, Oh ! what wore Man ?—a World without a Sun. —Campbell Itys true that many marriages prove nnhappy 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 n any honest suit she’s framed as fruitful As the free elements.”—Shakespeare.
