THE NEW
W A L T H A NJ

The past twelve months at the Waltham Watch
Factory have been the busiest in the Company's
history. Several wholly new stem winding watches
have been produced, and great improvements
have been effected in the manufacture Of all vari-
ETY. of their standard Watches until they in
clude every size in both key and stem winding,
that can be desired, Of every quality and of every
price At the same time new inventions in ma
chincry, and other Largo economies, have cheap
ened the cost so that at present it is not too much
to claim that the Watham Watches are the best and
cheapest watches in the world. These claims are,
in fact, almost everywhere admitted In this coun
try it is matter of fact that hardly any fine Ameri
can watches are sold but those OF the Waltham
make, Willie orders are now regularly received
from England, Australia, and the British Posses
sions generally, and foreign countries arc aban-
doning the hand made productions Of Switzerland
and England, and eagerly adopting American ma
chine made Wa'lham watches in their place.
Buyers of silver watches should be careful to
observe the stamp of the Company on the case, as
well as on the movement as the Waltham Watch
movements are frequently put into cases whicn
are inferior both in quality of metal and workman
ship.

Beautiful Faces.

Ruskin, one of the most famous of living
authors, says that it is every woman's duty to
MAKE herself handsome, and that she can do it
IN great degree. or course he does not intend
that woman should permit her mind to run
upon ner personal appearance TO its distraction
from Things of more Importance; but that she
should keep her person neat and attractive, and
cultivate spirit of kindness; avoiding all I'M
chautabieness, envy,s jealousy, and the mean
and despicable thoughts which cngender evil
passions, and thus imprint upon her face the
graces which will ou.shne the transient bloom
of youthful beauty.
ANA as age creeps on aPace we can write
Pheasant histories upon our faces, and impart
to them a prettiuess that they lacked even in
chiIdhood's gladdest honr, 3" an it please u.s."
10 be pretty seems to some girls the grand
aim OF life To them say cultivate the
graces of disposition, which unknown to your
selves, will illuminate yonr faces. Beauty,
without beauty of the soul, cannot endow it's
possessor with happiness; bat it's possession
often engenders jealousies and detraction, and
its owner is made to feel the sting of vigorous
fangs.
So cultivate prettiness, young ladies. and re-
member these lines:
Beautiful faces are they that
The light of the pleasant spirit there,
1tmatters little If dark or fair
Beautiful hands they that do -
The work Of the noble good. and true.
Busy for them the long day through"
