American Watch Making.

The manufacture of watches commenced
IN the United States in 1854. The first
factory Jailed OF course. Other attpmDt,
have succeeded until now it has become an
important branch of manufacture, not only
largely supplying the home demand, but
also sending an increasing numher of
watches every year to foreign counties. Mr..
Edward Farve-Perrrt, ,ofSwitzerland, amen.
Der OF the international jury on watches at
the Centennial, made am address ON the
subject when he reached home, in which he.
gave statistics ofthe watch trade, and warned
his fellow citizens that they must tie up and
do NJ or they would lose their u rcmacv in
this to them vitality important branch of
manufacture. His address was o,Iite
lengthy, and we quote only one short ex.
tract from it as follows:
The Americans have already commenced
to send their manufacture to Europe. In
England they sell annually from 10000 to
10000 watches. The American watch com.
m"nces to drive from the English market
the Swiss and even the English watch. The
Americans commenced by creating a de-
mand Tor their goods in the Indies and i'm
Australia and thpn-thanks to some power.
iul exporting houses they invaded Enulaud
AT Moscow and St. Pet r,burgh they have
aready established important branch offices.
hey do not keep it secret, but loudly adj
VertIse 1t; their aim is to drive Us first ont
OF their own country, and then to compcte
with us on our own soil, if our suggishnes,
and oul blind coincidence leave the soil
Tree to them. | sincerity confess that
personally have doubted that cOmpetition.
But now have seen-I have felt it-and |
am terrified at the danger to which our in.
dustry is exposed. Besides am not the only
one to think 50; the "Societe Interclnton.
ale have sent delegate to make inquiries
and his report perfectly agrees with mine.
Up to this very day we have believed
America to be dependant on Europe. We
have been mistaken. The Americans will
send us their products since we cannot
send them our own. Their importations
are not confined to watches alone. Other
European trades are threatened like ours.
Already America has commenced to send
cotton goods to England, which hitherto
monopolized that article in all markets of
the world

IT this is not decidedly pleasant way to
make winter pass socially, we do not know
what is:
Early IN the season-say in November
the owner OF cozy little home sent note
10 families embracing thirty or forty of his
Irlends-no more than his double room
would hold, saying that he would ALWAYS be
at nome Friday evenings, during the
winter, from seven to eleven, and should
he glad to have them come when they
pleased, and 90 when they pleased. Tbey
were requested to come in without rim rinp.
and soon learned to dispose of their wrnn.
pings and themselves without troubling anv
one. The rooms were brightly Gohted
well warmed, and as much ventilated rs
our brainiess system of houSe.buildino
would admit of. There were tables for
those who wished to play cards or other
games; an open piano for the muSically
inclined; books, magazines and papers
strewn about; easy.chairs around the fire
Tor Storytellers or visitors. No .'refresh.
ments' were served, but in one corner was
table with apples, popped corn, or walnuts
ana ralslns, candy,-or, on especially cold
nights, an urn of coffee and a plate of
doughnuts-to which all were invited to
heIp themselves or others, rs they wanted.

alone or together, as was convenient;
stayed according to their pleasure; did ms

have them rotate; hut the object was held
valid that by doing so there would always
be with some uncertainty as to the place of
meeting; rivalries in Entertainment"
would come to be thought essential: and
so the characteristic charm of the gather.

THE IGNORANT BALLoT.-Rev. Joseph
Cook, the celebrated Boston preacher, saws
in late address that it was his fnrtune-or
misfnrtune-to lie born in New Yolk, and
that it is Il griveous thing to him to know
that that vast Commonwealth which, above
and west of the highlands of the Hudson.

politically under the heels Of New York
below the highlands, and would not be if
the reading test, which it used to have,
had been retained in the popular suffrage.
Mr.. Cook eXclaims with holy horror that

of a few astute and unscrululnus men, to

her industrious and intelligent classes. If

LOVE AND MISCHIEF.

one sunny day Love chose to stray
AdOwn rosy path forbidden
Where Mischief deep in ambush lay,
And watched his snare meath flowers hidden:
Love tumbling in began to shout
For MischiefS aid. lest he should smother:
You little demon let me out,
Or I'll report you to my mother"
said Mischief, IN not set you free
Unless you share your power with me
And give Ofevery heart you gain,
One-half to joy and half to pain
Love struggled but in vain, alas
He was not born to prove martyr.
And, sad to tell. it came to pass
He gave in to the little Tartar.
Love flew TO Venus in pet,
And cried when he had told his story;
o! Queen of Beauty, never let
That little imp wear half my glory"
The goddess with look sedate,
Replied. Il cannot alter fate.
But you shall conquer still. my boy,
I'll make loves pain more sweet than Joy
