few people know why a Waltham Watch should
be superior 10 any other In the first place. at
Walthava the Watch IL regarded OIL, ma
chine, TO 90 constructed like any other machine,
on mechanical principles. IL the watches are
good, 1t. Is because the machinery is good OF

strueted with iplpite diversity Of form and func-

finished pieces. By means Of multiplying guages

Through the blue air Of even,
And dwells with all her sisters now
In Joys's 0lympian Heaven.

And old Parnassus towers afar

A Center Shot.

Henry Ward Beecher, in u sermon dc.
liyered in Plymoth church recently, pro-
duced the following picture:
"Men seemed ashamed of labor, and
often you find men who have made them
selves respected BY labor, have built ur a
business and amassed fortune, who turn
10 their sens and say: You shall never do
as did; you shall lead different life;
you shall be spared all this Oh, these
rich mems sons. They aim to lead life
Of emaseulsted idleness and laziness. Like
the polyp that floats useless and nasty up
on the sea. all jelly, all fabby, no muscle,
no bone; it shafts and opens, and opens
aud shuts aud sucks in and squirts out
again, of no earthly account, influence or
use. Such are these poor fools. Their
parents toled and grew strong, aud built
no their forms Of iron and bone; but de.
nying this to their sons, they turn them
upon the world boneless, muscleless, sim.
pie, gristle, and soft at that"
