REASON WHY THE
AM ERICAN WATCH
Made at WAL7,HAM MAssA CHUsETT.


Made at WAL1,HAM, MASSA CHUSETTS,
IS THE BEST.
1t is made on the best principle. Its frame is
composed of SOLID PLATES Nor jar can in
terfere with the harmony of its working and no
sudden shock can damage its machinery Every
piece is made and finished by machinery Itself
famous for its novelty, well as for its effective
ness) and is therefore properly made The watch
is what all mechanism should INACCURATE,
SIMPLE, STRONG AND ECONOMICAL. Ex-
cept some high grades too costly for general use,
foreign watches are chiefly made by women and
boys Such watches are composed of several
hundred pieces, screwed and riveted together,
and require constant repairs to keep them in any
kind of order. All persons who have carried
"ancres" "lepines" and English Patent Lee
vers," are perfectly well aware of the truth of
this statement.
At the beginning of our enterprise more than
ten years ago, it was our first object to make
thoroughly good low priced watch for the mill
ion, to take the place os these foreign imposi-
tions the refuse of foreign factories, which were
entirely unsaleable at home and perfectly worth
less elsewhere.
low well we have accomplished this, may be
understood from the fact that so many years of
public tiial, we now make MORE THAN HALF
OF ALL THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE
UNITED STATES, and that no others have ever
given such universal satisfaction. While this de-
partmcnt of our business is continued with in
creased facilities for perfect work, are at pre-
sent engaged in the manufacture of watches of
the very HIGHEST GRADE KNOWN TO
CHRONOMETRY, unequaled by anything hither-
to made by ourselves, and unsurpassed by any
thing made in the world. For this purpose we
have the amplest facilities. We have erected an
addition to our main building expressly for this
branch of our business, and have filled it with the
best workmcn in our service. New machines
and appliances have been constructed which per-
form their work with consummate delicacy and
'exactness. The choicest and most approved ma
terials only are used, and we challenge compare
son between this grade of our work and the finest
imported chronometers We do not pretend to
sell our watches for LESS MONEY than foreign
Watches but we do assert without fear of contra
diceion that for the SAME MONEY our product is
incomparably superior. All our watches, of what
ever grade, are fully warranted, and this warran
tee is good at all times against us or our agents
in all parts OF the world.
CAUTION.-The public are cautioned to buy
only of responsible dealers. ALI persons selling
counterfeits will be prosecuted.

Fever and Ague Observation-Disclosures
to Intermittent Fever, word with you. The
responsibility for your suffering rests upon your
selves Just as surely as you shake to-day, or
will shake tomorrow, HOSTETTER'S CELE-
DRAFTED STOMACH BITTERS will extinguish
the disease under which you labor. Had you
taken this genial tonic as preventive, you would
have no need of it as a. cure, for it renders the
system impervious to all masmatic fevers. But
since youneglected the precaution, rid yourselves
without delay of the complaint by resorting to
the only reliable remedy. Break the chills with
HOSTETTER'S BITTERs, and they will return
no more This is the experience of thousands,
and it will be yours. Quinine is slow means of
relief; tits nauseous to the last degree it is more
dangerous than the malady ITSELF in many cases
it utterly fails How different is the effect of the
BITTERs Their curative action is rapid; they
are agreeable to the palate; they are not only
entirely harmless, but tend inevitably to strength
en- the constitution and prolong life they neuer
hare failed and it is confidently assumed that they
neuer can fail in any case of Fever and Ague,
however inveterate in its character. To be with
out HOSTETTER'S BITTERS in any region
infested with Intermittent or Remittent Fever is
simply to reject safety and court disease. 40 wat

Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.
The President and Congress...PositlOn
of Mr.. ] Ohnson-His future Course.
WASHINGTON. Nov. IA. 1866.


The following is portion of communi-
cation addressed by IL member of the Cabi-
net to friend of the Administration in New
England in relation to the position of the
President and his attitude towards Congress.
The writer says Notwithstanding his
long public career. few men seem to be less
understood than President johnson. That he
is a man of strong convictions and earnest
purposes is evident from the manner in which
lie advocated and pushed forward important
measures in Congress like the homestead
bill and the stand he took against secession
and in favor of the Government during the
late civil war. He believes that the manner
in which he proposed that the Government
should deal with the Southern States was
not only magnanimOus one, but the only
one likely to result in a speedy and hearty
reconciliation between the two sections and
he has felt it to be his duty to sustain his
views by the exercise of such powers as the
Constitution had clothed him with. But
while this has been, and doubtless will con-
tinue to be, his course he will violate no law,
nor fail to perform the duties which are leg
ally devolved upon him. He will veto every
bill that he may regard unconstitutional, no
matter how unpopular it may be for him to-
do so. But he will execute with unscrupu-
lous fidelity all laws, and especially those
to which he has declined to give his official
sanction
"The apprehensions which you seem to
feel, and which many others share with you,
that Mr. johnson will attemptto force South
ern representatives into Congress, or do any
other imprudent thing by which the public
peace will be disturbed, is entirely unfound-
ed. While he will exercise fearlessly the
power which he possesses under the Consti-
tuition in furtherance of the measures which
he thinks are best calculated to promote the
public veal, he will not quarrel with Con-
gress for pursuing the same Independent
course He regrets the disagreement between
the legislative and executive branches of the
Government, and would, 1 doubt not, yield
much to effect a reconciliation. He will not,
however, sacrifice his principles. nor violate
the Constitution, according to his interpreta-
ton OF it. no matter what pressure is brought
to bear upon him. He means to do right, as
he understands the right, and will trust to
time for the vindication of his course. He
will be as true to the Constitution and the
Government as President of the United States
as he was true and steadfast to the Union il
the darkest days Of its trials"

WIsHING.
BY JOHN q. SAKE.


Of all the amusements of the mind,
From logic down to fishing,
There is not one that you can find
So very cheap as wishing"
A very choice diversion. too,
If we but rightly use it,
And not, as we are apt to do,
Pervert it and abuse it.
Iwish "a common wish, indeed
MY purse was something fatter;
That Knight cheer the child of need,
And not my pride to flatter:
That might make oppression reel
As gold can only make it,
And break the tyrant's rod of steel,
As gold can only break it.
Iwish that sympathy and love,
And every human passion
That has its origin above,
Would come and keep in fashion:
That scorn, and jealousy, and hate,
,e, And every base emotion,
We're buried fifty fathoms deep
Beneath the waves of ocean
wish that friends were always true,
And motives always pure;
1 wish that the good were not so few,
l wish the bad were fewer;
wish that parsons meier forget
To heed their pious teaching,
wish that practicing was not
So different from preaching.
wish that modest worth might be
Appraised with truth and candor;
I Mish that innocence we're free
From treachery and SANDER;
I wish that men their VOWS would mind,
That women meier were rovers:
wish that wives were always kind,
And husbands always lovers.
wish--in fine-that joy and mirth,
And every good ideal,
May come, erewhile, throughout the earth
To be glorious real
Till God shall every creature bless
With his supremest blessing,
And hope be lost in happiness,
And wishing be possession.

A movement is on foot in England, Otter

Countess de Noailles, to abolish the use of

IN other words, to have them go barefoot,
out OF doors, as well as in the house-wear-
ing only strip of leather on the sole of the
