But to add to the zest of this up-the- Mississippi
trip, you must know that the good boat Northern
Belle also bore as of her passengers the veritabe
LOngfellow. The Historical Society had extended
to the poet an invitation to be present at the corner

the author of HaWatha was one of our number
But which is he the oft repeated questions and
none answered except 10 guess. AT the table each
one was looking most intently at the other, to divine
which was the poet, and all wondered why eve1y
one stared so. This pronounced the poet
because he wore moustache the because he
shaved clean and noted that the fact as to who
was Longfelow, settled either by the excess or
lack of hair. This doubt in a few hours became
uncomfortable, and the universal cry was TO trot QUIZ
Longtellow. Finally, by the aid of the clerk, the
number of his state room ascertaned 10 be 80,
and guard placed at either door of 80 so that no
one could escape thence undetected Soon the door
opened, and Longfellow passed 10 the deck where

How WATCHES ARE MADE SwITzERLAND.-A
large proportion of the work bestowed upon the
manufacture of watches in Switzerland is done by
cottagers who cultivate the cath in the summer,
and in the winter shut themselves up with their
families during the Indictment season, which lasts
three or four months. The whole family then de-
vote themselves to the work of making watch move
ments Not only the children work, but the dog
turns Wheel and puts in motion lathe pair
of bellows. First, the rough part of the movement
is made by water power. Particular parts assign
ed to the young members of the family while others
are employed in putting the plates and wheels to-
gether. When a sufficient number have been prepar-
ed the master transports them, the back of mule
to some town or village where he sells them to little
master watchmakers, who complete the movements,
or else they are sold to travelling agents, who case
them in silver or gold
