THE GROVER & BAKER
SEWING MACHINE

DOES NOT MAKE THE CHAIN STITCH
The Grover and Baker stitch is formed OF two
threads, the under threat never more than half
the size of the upper. This under thread is
ingenious!y interwoven with the upper, passing
both through and around its loop, fastening il
securely by tying IL twice. A scam thus formed
has all the strength and elasticity Of the back
stitch. Like that stitch it gains It's strength
by COMPRISING the PARTICLES OF the fabrics be-
twean the stitches and dividing the strain be.
tween the several stitches Of the seam, instead
of concentrating II upon single point, as Is the
case in lock. stitch machine.
There has been much discussion n TO the rel
alive economy Of the two shtcbes; built Is now
generally conceded that for family sewing,
where there are short seams, the Grover and
Baker stitch is found To be the most economical.
While il uses oneffth more thread in making a
given length of seam il wastes none, as Is the
4 case with the lock. stitch machine where there
ia usually waste of four inches of thread at the
! beginning and mt the end of each seam TO which
must be added the loss OF time in fastening the
end of the seam so AS TO prevent ripping.
Experience has proved that Grover and Ba
ker seam for med of very fine cotton, say No. 81
for the upper spool and No. $50 for the under one
is much stronger than lock stitch seam formed
of Nos 60 and 10 cotton. Can any thing more
be desired az illustrative OF tho superiority of
this stitchl Actual experiment has shown that
on a lock stitch machine two hundred yards OF
| thread will sew thirty five vars OF seam with q
waste of thirty four yards OIL ends; whDe Win
| n Grover and Baker machine, with the same
number of wards of thread there were fifty
seven wards sewed, with no waste at all. These
are facts easily arrived at by all who can find

numerous families, where they may investigate

A BEAUTIFUL REFLECTION,

Bulwer eloquently says: ~ cannot be-
lieve that earth is mans abiding place. 1t
cannot be that our life is cast up by the ocean
of eternity to float moment upon it waves,
and then sink into nothingness! Else why
is it that the glorious aspiration which leap
like angels from the temple of our hearts, are
forever marching about unsatisfed? Why is
it that the rainbow and clouds come ever
with beauty that is not of earth and then
pass off and leave US to muse upon their
faded loveliness Why is it that the stars
who hold their festivals around the midnight
throne, are set above the grasp of our limited
faculties, forever mocking us with their unap-
proachabIe glory And finally, why is it
that the bright forms of human beauty are
psesented to our view, and then taken from
US, leaving the thousand gtreams of our aft
ections to flow back in Alpine torrents upon
our hearts ? We are born for higher desti-
ny than that of earth; there is realm where
the rainbow never fades-where the stars will
be spread before US like islands that slumber
on the ocean-and where the beings that pa SIS
before Us like shadows will stay IN our pres
ence forever.

to the foot of the scaffold, which was raised
about two feet from the ground, but before
ascending she exclaimed to melville
'Once more farewell, good Andrew; pray
for thy mistress and Queen. Thou shalt

" Thanks, sir,' she continued to Paulet,
who offered his arm with rather a penitent
expression of countenance, sit is the last
trouble you will experience at my hands"
On the scaffold was small wooden stool
and cushion, and no sooner had Mary's foot
touched the ia tai planks than the executioner
kneeling before her, prayed her to forgive
him for the office he was about to perform
but at this moment her eye fell on the axe
and she exclaimed quickly
