acknowledgment for this complimentary en-

kindest wishes and sympathies for their flu

harmonizing your acts and sentiments with
those to the "manor born," and abandon those
false, intriguing and perjured friends, who
have been organizing them into Union Lea

nations not for the purpose of advancing the
interest of the colored man, but to seat them
selves in fat Offices and open the doors of the

may be as profitable and pleasant to them as
their delightful entertainment was agreeable

REASON WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH

Kale at WAL1HAN, IMASS4 CHUSETTS,
IS THE BEST.
! 1t is made on the best principle. Its frame is
composed of SOLID PLATES. No jar can in
terfere with the harmony of its working and no
sudden shock damage its machinery. Every
piece is made and finished by machinery Gtself
famous for its novelty as well as for its effective
ness) and is therefore properly made The watch
is what all mechanism should be-ACCURATE,
| SIMPLE, STRONG AND ECONOMICAL. E1-
cept 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 together,
and require constant repairs to keep them in any
kind Of order. All persons who have carried
"ancres" ''lepincs" 2nd "English Patent Le-
| vers," are perfectly we'll aware of the truth OF
| this statement.
| At the beginning of our enterprise more than
| ten years ago, it first object to make a
thoroughly good low priced watch for the mill
ion, to take tile place of these foreign imposi-
tions; the refuse of foreign factories, which were
entirely unsaleable at home and perfectly worth
| less elsewhere.
| How well we have accomplished this, may be
understood from the fact that 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 de-
partment Of our business is continued with in
creased facilities for perfect work, we are at pre-
| sent engaged in the manufacture of watches of
the very HIGHEST GRADE KNOWN TO
| CHRONOMETRY, unequalled by anything hith-
erto 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
hest morkmen in our service. New machines
| and appliances have been constructed which per-
form their work with consummate delicicy and
terals only are used, and we challange eompsri
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
diction that for the SAME MONTY 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. All persons selling
counterleits will be prosecuted

CAUGnr IN HIS Ows TRAP.-Once
two ministers of the Gospel were con-
versing together on extemporaneous
preaching:
"Well," said the old divine, waxing
warm, "you are running yourself by
writing your sermons and reading them
oft.-Y our congregation cannot become
interested in your preaching, and if you
are called upon to preach unexpectedly,
unless you could get hold of an old ser
mon, you would be completely confus-
ed"
The young divine used all his elo-
quence, but in yain, to convince the
old gentleman thst the written sermon
expressed his own thoughts and feel
ings, and if called upon he could preach
extemporaneously.
as we are of the same f.ith," said
the young minister, suppose you try
me next Sabbath morning. On ascend
ing the pulpit you can hand me text
from any part of the Bible, and [ will
convince you thst can preach without
having looked at the text before I stand
up. Likewise, must be allowed the
same privilege with you, and see who
will make the best of it"
The idea seemed to delight the old
gentleman, and it wss Immediately
agreed upon.
The following Sabbath, on mounting
the pulpit, his senior brother handed
him slip ofpaper, on which was writ
ten, "And the ass opened his mouth
and spake - from which he preached a
glorious sermon, claiming the attention
of his delighted hearers, and charming
his old friend with his eloquenee.
In the afternoon, the young brother,
who was sitting below the pulpit, hand
ed his slip. After rising and opening
the Bible, the old man looked sadly
sround-" Am l not thine ass ?" Paus-
ing few minutes, he ran his fingers
through his hsir, strai ightened his collar,
blew his nose like the last trumpet, and
read aloud, Am | not thin ASST" An
other pause, in which a deadly silence
reigned. After reading the third eime,
g Am I not thine ass ?" he looked over
the pulpit at his friend, and in a dole
full voice said, " "Ihink 1 am, brother"
