ACARD FROM THE
Watch Company
OF
wALTHA16, MASS.

This Company beg leave to inform the public
that they commenced operations in 1850, and their
factory now covers four acres of ground. and has
cost more than million dollars, and employs
over 700 operatives. They produce $1,000 Wat
ches year, and make and sell not less than one
half of all the watches sold in the United States
The difference between their manufac ture and
the European, is briefly this European watches
are made almost entirely by hand, and the result
is of necessity lack of that uniformity which is
indispensable to correct time keeping. Both the
eye and the hand of the most skillfuI operative
must vary. But it is fact that, except watches
of the higher grades, European watches are the
product of the cheapest labor of Switzerland, and
the result is the worthless Azores, I;epines and
so-callsd Patent Levers-whieh soon cost more in
attempted repairs, than their original price. Com
mon workmen boys and women. buy the rough
separate parts of these watches from various fac
tories, polish and put them together, and take
them to the nearest watch merchant, who stamps
and engrayes them with any name or brand that
may be ordered
HOW AMERICAN WATCHES ARE MADE.
The American waltham Watch is made by no
such uncertain process-and by no such incom-
petent workmcn. All the company's operatio ns
from the reception of the materials to the
completion of the Watch, are carried on under
one roof, and under one skillful and competent
direction. But the great distinguishing feature
of their Watches, is the fact that their several
parts are all made by the finest, the most perfect
and delicate machinery ever brought to the aid
of human industry. Every one of the more than
a hundred parts of every watch is made by a ma
chine--that nfalfibly reproduces every succeeding
part with the most unvarying accuracy. 1t was
only necessary to make one perfect watch of one
particular style and then to adjust the hundred
machines necessary to reproduce every part Of
that watch, and it follows that every succeeding
part must be like it
The company respectfully submit their watches
on their merits only. They claim to make
A Better Article for the Money
by their improved mechanical processes than can
be made under the old-fashioned handieraft sys-
tenn. They manufacture watches of every grade,
from good, low priced, and substantial article,
in solid silver hunting cases, to the finest chrome
meter: and also ladies' watches in plain gold or
the finest enameled and jeweed cases but the in
dspensable requisite of all their watches is that
they shah be GOOD TIMEX EEPERS. 1t should
be remembered that, except their single lowest
grade named 1'Home Watch Company, Boston,
ALL WATCHES made by them 4z
ARE FULLY WARRANTED
by special certificate and this warrantee Is gooo
at all timss against the company or its agents.

Road TAxEs.-Attention is directed to a
law of the Legislature of this state, passed at
the last session, and published in this paper,
requiring $3.50 in cash from every man in
the state, for road labor. Heretofore persons
who did not wish to work out their tax could
pay IS cents day, for the 3 days required,
making 1925 road tax. Now they must
work out the tax or pay 81, so day, which
just doubles the road tax, on those who pay
cash. This sum of money ought to greatly
improve the roads, if it is honestly laid out.
The overseers of highways should be held re-
sponsible for its collection or for the labor.
The road commissioners are also given adj
ditional power to levy taxes and put the
roads in order. The law is an important
one aud we hope it will have. the effect de-
sired, in improving the roads.

/ am dying, Egypt, dying,
Ebbs the crimson life blood fast,
And the dark Plutonian shadows
Gather ON the evening blast;
Let thine arm, oh Queen, support me,
Hush thy sobs and bow thine ear,
Hearken to the great heart secrets
Thou, and thou alone, must hear.
Though my scsrr'd and veteran legions
Bear their eagles high no more;
Though my wrecked and scstter'd gsllsys
Strew dark Actinm's fatal shore;
Though no glittering guards surround me
Prompt to do their masters will,

Die the great Triumvir still.
Let not CAESARS service minions
Mock the lion thus laid low;
Twas no foeman's hand that slew him,
Twas his own that struck the blow;
Hear, then, pillowed on Thy bosom,
Ere his star fades quite away,
Him who, drunk with thy csresses,
Madly flung q world awayi
Should the base plebeisn rabble
Dare assaIl my name at Rome.
Where the noble spouse, Octavis,
Weeps within her widow'd home;
Seek her, say the gods have told me
Affairs, augurs, circling wings
That her blood with mine commingled,
Yet shall mount the throne Of kings.
As for thee, star-eyed Egyptian,
Glorious sorceress of the Nile,
Lig hit the path to StyRian horrors
With the splendor Of thy smile.

Let his brow the laurel Irvine;
