The WHEELER & WILSON COMPANY has prepared tables showing, by actual experiments of four different workers. the time required to stitch each part of a garment by hand, and with their Sewing Machine. Subjoined is summary of several of the tables. New-York, New Jersey. Pennsylvania, And at hundreds of County Fairs. The Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine is the machine for all kinds of FAMILY SEWING, and for the use of Seamstresses, Dressmakers. Tailors, Manufacturers of Shirts, Collars, Skirts, Cloaks, Mantillas, Clothing, Hats, Caps, Corsets, Ladies' Gaiters, Linen Goods, Umbrellas, Parasols, Silk Goods, etc. The LOCK-STITCH made by this Machine can not be raveled and presents the same appearance upon each side of the seam, a single line of thread extending from stitch to stitch. It is formed with two threads one upon each side of the fabric, and interlocked in the center of it. In beauty and regularity, and in the firmness of the seam formed, it excels hand-sewing. This Machine is recommended for the following qualities: 1. Beauty and excellence of stitch alike upon each side of the fabric sewed. 2. Strength, firmness, and durability of seam that will not rip nor ravel, and made with When the machines are driven by power the ratio is much higher, 1500 and 2000 Stitches per Minute not being an unusual average. Seams of considerable length are ordinarily sewed with the best machines at the rate of a yard a minute, and that, too, in a manner far superior to hand-sewing. METHODIST BOOK CONCERN, . 200 Mulberry Street, N. Y Being in constant receipt of inquiries from our brethren, respecting Sewing Machines, with requests to recommend and purchase, we have, in conjunction with some lady friends, carefully and thoroughly examined the various machines, of practical value for family sewing, and find those made by THE WHEELER & WILSON MANUFACTURING COMPANY, 505 Broadway. New-York, to fully combine the essentials of a good instrument, and such as we can confidently recommend. Having seen so favorable results from their use, in our own and the households of our friends, we are desirous that their benefits should be shared by all our brethren. and hence have interested ourselves in their behalf. GROVER & BAKER'S Celebrated NOISELESS Family and Manufacturing SEWING-MACHINES. NEW STYLES AT REDUCED PRICES. The Grover & Baker Sewing-Machine Co. are now manufacturing Noiseless Shuttle or LOCKSTITCH MACHINES, of the same patterns and at the same prices as their celebrated Grover & Baker Stitch-Machines, and combining all the latest improvements in Sewing Machinery. The Grover & Baker Sewing-Machine Co. is the only one that manufactures both kinds of Sewing-Machines, and only at the offices of this Company can the public examine the two leading Machines, and have the privilege of taking their choice. We speak from experience when we say that, after having tried all the principal Sewing Machines, we must accord to that of GROVER & BAKER the preeminence. Those indispensable features of sewing, strength, uniformity, and elasticity-all of which are brought out in this incomparable invention-make it the first Sewing-Machine in the country. Others have their good points, but this combines all, and possesses every characteristic necessary to make it most desirable.-N. Y. Christian Advocate and Journal. A trial of over two years enables us to say, with the greatest confidence, that there is no better machine for general family use than GROVER & BAKER'S SEWING-MACHINE It makes a beautiful elastic seam that does not rip with wear or washing, runs almost noiselessly, is plain, simple, easy to work, and not liable to get out of repair, fastens the ends of its own thread, and uses threads and silks directly from the spools on which they are bought. Add to it a set of the Company's inimitable hemmers and stitchers, and you have every thing about you as complete and satisfactory as you could reasonably expect. It is an article of furniture, once in your house, you will never willingly part with, under any consideration.'-N. Y. Leader. GROVER & BAKER'S MACHINES' work, in their peculiar stitch, and fabrics put together by it, may wear and drop to pieces from original weakness or hard usage, but come apart or give way at the seams they can not; they will hold together when the cloth or calico around them hangs in rags and tatters.-N. Y. Daily News. A CARD FROM ELIAS HOWE, JR. All persons are cautioned not to make, deal in, or use any Sewing-Machines which sew from two spools and make the stitch known as the GROVER & BAKER stitch, unless the same are purchased from the GROVER & BAKER Sewing-Machine Company, or their Agents, or Licensees, and stamped under my patent of September 10, 1846. Said Company and their Licensees alone are legally authorized under their own patents, and my said patent during the extended term thereof, to make and sell this kind of Sewing-Machine, and all others are piracies upon my said patent, and will be dealt with accordingly, wherever found. NEW-YORK. ELIAS HOWE, JR. THE April number of this favorite and old-established monthly is an admirable one.'-Home Journal, N. Y. 1 The present number of the KNICKERBOCKER is a capita one. It presents a greater variety of literary talent in its articles than almost any other of our American periodicals. If its success be not commensurate, it will argue badly for the taste of our reading public.-New-York Herald. It is truly a great work, and one of the oldest works of the day, having commenced its fifty-seventh volume.'Democrat, Waco, Texas. This is another fine number of our old favorite. Among the contents we would particularly note a continuation of the serial by Richard B. Kimball, Esq., entitled, The Revelations of Wall-Street.'

This number is brimful of good things, in every range of literature from grave to gay, from lively to severe.' The Revelations of Wall-Street' grow more interesting each month. They are evidently written by one intimate with his subject, and qualified by experience to lay bare the hidden places of that famous locality.'-City Fact, Columbus, Ohio. We know of no monthly publication which surpasses it in a literary point of view. This number is, to us, unusually interesting, and we recommend it to the perusal of our friends. It always was good, but of late it has been much improved, and rendered more interesting.'Democrat, Davenport, Iowa. Old KNICK is getting up a famous reputation.'-City and Country, Nyack, N. Y.

Of all magazines published this is the best. The instructive, the poetic, the racy and witty are all there, so that no one can fail to be pleased with it.

'We can never say enough in praise of this pioneer of New-York literature. No magazine in America presents such an array of talented writers.'-Democrat, Jamestown, N. Y.

The present number is the most interesting number of the series just commenced, and is one of the most readable periodicals that we have met with.'- New-Covenant, Chicago, Ill. The best talent of the country is engaged upon its pages, and it is no over-estimation of its merits to say that it is the best literary magazine in the world.'--Forum, Bucyrus, Ohio. The April number has had no precedent in point of literary excellence and discriminating taste. It is replete with the best of interesting reading matter from the first page to the last. If the enterprising publisher continues to make improvements for the future as he has done in the past, we can't conceive where he'll end.'-Star, Schenectady, N. Y.

'As Old KNICK is now we wouldn't be without it for double the subscription price.'-Democrat, Fonda, N. Y. It is brimful of rich, sparkling gems.'-Yeoman, Frankfort, Ky. 'It gives evidence of more than the wonted ability which has sustained its reputation for so many years. The illustrated' clap-trap (the counterpart of the gold. leaf decorations on the covers of cheap books) gives place to more sterling literature; and while a greater variety is presented, the strength of the whole is maintained, each article being the emanation of a practiced pen.'-Telegraph, Chelsea, Mass. This old favorite renewed its age with the beginning of the year, and each succeeding number since has increased in richness. It was always our special delight. We now regard it the very best magazine in the world, and take more real comfort between its blue covers than in any other publication of the day. The Revelations of Wall-Street,' R. B. Kimball's new story, gives increasing promise with each new chapter. It is not only his best book, but the best, we being judge, now being produced.'-Telegraph, Houston, Texas.
