A FEW REASONS WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH

1t is made on the best principle, while the for
eign watch is generally made on no principle
at all.

while their labor is cheap, their work is dear at
any price, Such watches are made without plan.
and sold without guarantee. They are irregular
ID construction, and quite irregular in move
ment. They are designed only to sell, and the
buyer is the party most beautifully sold Those
who have kept ancres," lepnes' and .sSwiss
levers in professed repair for a few wears will
appreciate the truth Of our statement.
THE PLAN OF THE AMERICAN WATCH.
Instead of being made Of several kindred little
pieces. screwed together, the body of the Ameri-
Watch is formed of SOLID PLATES. No
jar interferes with the harmony of its working,
and no sudden shock can throw its machinery out
of gear. Secession of one part from another is
unknown to its cons tuition, and in riding on any
business pursuit. it is all held together as firmly
as single piece of metal Its just what all ma
chinery should be

demand.
OUR THREE QUARTER PLATE WATCH is
thinner and lighter than the others We have de-
scribed. Its fine thermometer balance is delicate

changes of temperature. These Watches are
chronometrlcally rated, and are the fruits of the
latest experiments in chronometry and are made
by our best workmen, in separate department d
our factory. For the finest time keeping qualities
they challenge comparison with the best works o
the most famous English and Swiss makers.

Hardening Of the Rrain.

Softening of the brain is not unfrequently

But according to distinguished modern
anatomist. hardening of the brain is more

OUR SICK AND WOUNDED SOL
DlEikS.
What Women Can Do For the War.

Many an earnest, pleading letter comes to
US from town and country, written by wo-
men whose hearts ara full of tears for their
country's misery and of aspirations for their
country's welfare. praying for some channel
which their devotion may pour itself
out in deeds. We read these letters not
with sadness that women can do SO little
but with gladuess that they can do SO much.
That women can do so little for the war
lis this the cause Of their complaint? 1t
cannot be: for. leaving the actual army
work out of the account. they do actually
more than the men. Whence come the
boundless supplies for the Sanitary Commis-
sion and other societies which have in
charge the welfare of the troops? From
the women of the country. How are the
numberless hospitals kept furnished with
nurses. watchers. readers. comfor,ers ? By
the women. By whom are the young men
melted, yes. driven often, to the field By
the women-the sisters, wives, lovers, who
shame the laggards in many instances to
their duty. The difficulty cannot be that
women have not opportunities enough for
impulses in connection with the war. They
have almost every facility. This is sufi-
ciently proved by the fact that the war has
reused them to such prodigious efforts as
they are making. Their moral batteries
play with superb effect on the two points of
terminus. They furnish great measure Of
the pure enth usissm by which the war spirit,
in its noblest aspect. is kindlsd and fed
And they furnish nearly the whole of the
tender devotion which takes the sick and
wounded from the beld, and restores them
to life. They are last at the cross with
,heir hearts full of fself-surrended-and 6rst
at the grave with their hands full of band ages
oil and wine. There is no end to the work
women may do at either place. Tuere is
something for all of them. and enough for
all. Many meI complain with reason Of
their owl uselessness-the only thing men
can do being to fight; and that is thing
some ere either unable to do from phy sical
weakness, or forbidden to do by domestic
relations. -. sk~
Shall we be thought ungenerous if we
sugges; that some porrion of the noble dis
satisfaction OF women proceeds from a sort
OF contempt Of the kind of work they dos
1t is not fashy; bu, surely it is noble, is il
not? Is ii not as noble to heal hurts as to
make them. to scrape lint as to bruise skin
to WELD the creating needles as to flourish
the desolating swords, to mend garments as
to tear them in shreds, to sit and read an hoar
by the bedside Of dying soldier rs 10 leave
him stabbed aud dying in the dust? Who
was i,tha, said. 1T is better to save life than
destroy is.'' Believe this. and the work of
women becomes not only the most beautiful
but the most glstious work of the var. We
bless them daily that they are qualified and
willing to do it TIE Lndspeadent.

PAPER PRoCLAMATIoS - The New
correspondence, and in remarking upon Mr.
Mason's letters to Earl Russell, makes the
following important admission. The Her
aid believes tha, England will maintain its
neutrality, and says:
"TAe Government of the United States
in the meantime. owes nothing to the British
Cabinet for these satisfactory manifestations
of neutrality. They are due to a power
behind the English Cabinet and aristocracy
and behind the throne, greater than the
throne itself-the power of England's public
opinion, of which such men as John Bright
ami Richard Golden are the chosen ar
Founders. 1t is this power which has die
tated these positive assurances of England's
neutrality 1t was not SO in the beginning,
but We are now sure it will be 30 to the
end" Ssfs
True. every word Of it, but how comes it
about "I was not 50 10 the beginning"
says the Herald. What has produced this
great revolution 10 the public opinion Of
England What has created this power
behind the throne? Obviously the Eman-
c'Pation Proclamation of President Lincoln.
Ii was this that inspired the masses OF En-.
gland and gave them an earnest that the
cause of the North Is the cause OF human
and no government can recognize
or defend the siaveholding oligarchy OF the
South Paper Proclamasion." though II

tion Tnls Is too plata case to Be argued
