hcation of a weekly journal entitled

from these for American readers in a form at once
attractive and inexpensive The publishers believe
that such journal, conducted upon the plan which
they propose, will be not only entertaining and in
structive in ITSELF but interesting and valuable
a reflex of foreign periodical literature of the bet
ter class.
EVERY SATURDAY is intended for town and coun-
try for the reside the seaside the railway and the
steamboat. Its plan embraces Incidents of Travel
and Adventure, Essays Critical and Descriptive,
Serial Tales, Short Stories, Poems, Biographies,
Literary Intelligence, etc., in connection with ju-
dicious selections from the admirable popular pa
pers on science which constantly appearing in
foreign periodicals. The value of these papers
arises from the fact that scientific subjects, howev
er harsh and dry in themselves, are here treated
in so graphic and picturesque style as to charm
the reader while instructing him.
1t will be- inshOrt, the aim of its publishers that
EVERY SATURDAY shall commend itself by its fresh
ness and variety to all classes of intelligent and
cultivated readers.
EVERY SATURDAY will contain each week thirty
two large octave pages handsomely printed in dou-
BILE columns, with an engraved title.

The interest of these Periodicals to American
readers is rather increased than diminished by the
articles they contain on our late CiU1L War, and
though sometimes tinged With prejudice, they
may still, considering their great ability and the
different stand points from which they written,
be read and studied with advantage by the people
of this country, of every creed and party.

friends of true American literature. 1t has stead
cation, and its publishers have found it necessary
to annually enlarge it, to meet the full expecta-

is THE BEST.
1t is made on the best principle 1t is composed
of SOLID PLATES. No jar can interfere with the
harmony of its working and no sudden shock can
damage its machinery. Every piece is made and
finished by machinery, Gtselffamous for its novelty,
as well for its efectiveness,) and is therefore
properly made. The watch is what all mechanism
should be-ACCURATE, SIMPLE, STRONG AND ECO
NoMcAL. Except some high grades too costly for
general use, foreign watches are chiefly made by
women and boys. Such watches composed of
several hundred pieces, screwed and riveted to-
gether, and require constant repairs to keep them
in any kind of order. All persons who have car
Levers, 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 a
thoroughly good low priced watch for the million,
to take the place Of these foreign impositions the
refuse of foreign factories which were entirely un-
saleabe at home and perfectly worthless every
where.
How well we have accomplished this may be
understood from the fact that after so many years
of public trial 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 department of our bus-
ness is continued with increased facilities for per-
feet work, we are at present engaged in the man
ufacture of watches of the very HIGHEST GRADE
hNONN TO ChRONohEIh1 ny
hitherto made by ourselves, and unsurpassed by
anything made in the world. For this purpose
we have the amplest facilities. We have erected
an addition to main building expressly for
this branch of our business and have filled it wi tn
the best workmen 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 used, and we challenge comparison
between this grade of our work and the finest i'm
ported chronometerss We do not pretend to sell
our watches for LESS MONEY than foreign watches
but we do assert, without fear of contradiction,
that for the SAME MONEY our product is incompa-
bly, superior All our watches, of whatever grade,
are fully warranted, and this warrantee is good
at all times against agents in all parts of
the world
CAUTIoN.-The public cautioned to buy only
of respectable dealers. All persons selling coun-
terfeits will be prosecuted.
