WAATTH zM WATCHES s

THE extensive use of these watches tc the last fifteen years by Railway Conductory Engineers, and Expressmen, the most exact Ing of watch-wearers, has thorougly demon strated the strength, steadiness, durability and accuracy of the Waltham Watn IL satlsly that class in all these respeoss, is tt decide the question as to the real value O these time-keepers.
 More than 45O,OOO of these watches are now speaking for themselves in the | pockets ot the people-a proof nd guaran- tee of their superiority over al i}others. The superior organization ald great extent of the Company's Works at Faltham, enable them to produce watches At price which renders competition futI and those who buy any other watch, nd pay from 25 to 50 per cent. more for [ watches than is necessary.
 We are now selling am Watches at less prices in gree than the gold prices before the re is no other manufacture of aD/ United States of which this can
 ssc-pleces oOmDlne every improve ment that long experience has proved of real practical use. Having had the refusal of nearly every invention in matchmaking originating in this country or in Europe, only those were finally adopted which severe tast- ing by the most skillful artisans in our works, and long use on the part of the public, de- monstrated to be essential to correct and en- during time-keeping.
 Among the many improvements we would particlarize:
 The invention and use off centre-pinion of peculiar construction, to prvent damage to the train by the breakage of main springs. is OrlUIn4I with fbQ +oI, who, having had the refusal of all other contrivances, adopted Fogg's Patent pinion as being the best and faultless.
 Hardened and tempered hair springs, now universally admitted by watchmakers to be the best, are used in all grads of Waltham Watches.
 All Waltham Watches have dust-proof | caps, protecting the movem,nt from dust and 1 lessening the necessity of tie frequent clean 1 ing necessary in other wateles.
 Our new patent stem-w nder or kevless | watch, is already a decided success and a great improvement on any sem-winder watch in the American market and by far the cheapest watch of its qualJy now offered to the United States where Nitchmakers do not abound, watches with theabove mentioned improvements which tend;o insure accuracy, durability and convenience, must prove invaluable.
 Every watch guarantee by the Company. To prevent imposition buyers should see that every watch shoul( bear either of the trade marks.

His arm it clasped me closely, My head sank on his breast AS natural as any bird
 Would nestle in it's nest. The white lids dropped low OCT his ees, q lifted mine to see ) . When, like flash, he bent his head And-O! go tell HE KISSED ME! Upon my own his glowing lips In fervor fond he pressed, And though we neither spoke word We each our love confessed. . So, fragrant breath of summer flowers Go sigh it East and West, Tell every blossom, tree and star, We love each other best.

BEHOCRATrC ADDRESS.

THE following has just been issued.
Rooms OF THE NATIONAL DEMoCRrrC)
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES,
WASHINGTON, d. g. Oct. q, 1870.
TheNRtiOnal Democratic Congression-
al Resident Committee rendered their
congratulations to the Democratic and
Conservative voters Of tho three great
States of Pennsylvania, Indiana and
Ohio, for their recent success over the
corruptiOns Of Radicalism, aided, as the
I Radicals have been, by q prOhigate and
despotic Administration at Washing
ton.
In Pennsylvania a gain of five menu
bers Of congress has been secured, and
Radical majority oflast year being large
IL reduced in each branch of the Iegis-
lature, and there is a decided majority
in the State on the popular vote against
the Administration. In Indiana the
State has been redeemed from further
Radical misrule by the election of ths
Democratic and Conservative State tick
ct, carrying with 1t gain Of two menl-
bers Of Congress, and majority in each
branch Of the Legislature. Economy
and reform are thus made sure to the
people Of that State in the fmmediats
future. In Ohio the Radical majority of
two years ago has been reduced more
than oRe-half, and the leader Of this
Radical cOrruptiOnists in the present
Congress been defeated. We now an
peal TO the Democratic and Conserve
tive voters Of the States in which cleo
tions are about to be held to make 3
further and more determined effort in
behalf Of a restoration. We ask that
they disregard threats from any central
source, and pay no attention in any re-
spect to the proposed raise OF the milf
tGry power Of the Government in the
local management of thd election In the
States. Let the doors OF our OrganiZa-
ttons be thrown wide open for the ad-
mission Of all who desire economy and
honesty in the management of the Uutl-
lie treasury, so that the present burden
OF taxation may be thereby nitirated
regardless Of former issues or past DOIiti-
cal association or name, and bring about
an entire cooperation among an who
seek restoration of the Union founded
upon peace and good win among their
fellOw-men, and a return to strict in
tegElty among the public officers Of the
nation.

It chsnced on beautiful summer night.
When the moon was young. when the stars We
bright,
And the blossoms slept in the tender light,
And dreamed Of the zephr's sighs;
That wOndUrous spell in our home was wrought
Of hopes and fears and bewildering thonght,
By fairy flower that an aEgIo brought
From the gardens Of Paradise.
The south Wind auttered its perfumed wings,
Asd essayed the song thst the bui bul sings;
And the fre-hy sparkled in mystic rings,
Like lamps at fairy ball;
The young leaves, whispering sweet and low
In tongue that only Dryads know,
Made love to the waves that danced below
To the chant of the waterfall.
The cloud-ships lay in the far OF West,
With their masts and Epars and sails at rest
Or fOated along in an idle quest
OF some bright Elysian Isle;
And fairy gOndolas here and there,
Moved down tho streams Of the upper air,
And moored their prows to the shadoEy stair
ofsome Gothic palace-pile.
SO the hours Of that summer night were told,
The starlight faded from river and void,
And morning, in garments Ofpurple and gold,
Awakened the sleeping Garth;
But the cherub form, with its face so fair.
Crowned with glory of golden hair
Like the morning sunshine cleaning there
Stin nestled beside our hearth.
