BYrOnic Jokes.

Notwithstanding Byron's assumed con-
tempt of death, nothing could exceed his
abject terror when laboring under even
the slightest illness. He was dining at
Pisa, with Hunt, Trelawney and Shelley,
one day, when he was suddenly seized
with violent attack of collie. He hastily
arose from the table. threw himself upon
the sofa, and began to say
"Oh. my God l am dying! am
dyingr'
Trelawney, who was very peculiar
man. went up to the terrified bard and
said -
Come, come. Byron; if you are dying
you need not make such confounded fuss
about it."
The tone in which he said this was SO
irresistible that the sick man could not
help joining in the laughter which Ire.

The First Casting.

Cast iron was not in commercial use be-
fore the year 100, when Abraham Darby,
an intelligent mechanic, who had brought
some Dutchmen to establish brass found
ry at Bristol, conceived the idea that iron
might be substituted tor brass. This his
workmen did not succeed in effecting,
being probably too much prejudiced in
favor of the metal with which they were
best acquainted. A Welsh shepherd boy
named John Thomas had. some little time
previous to this. been received by Abra.

mendation of a distant relative. Whilst
looking on during the experiments of the
Dutch workmen. he said to Abraham Dar-

FIELD Daisies.
BIZ II. j. L.

There came into my still and lonely room,
Daisies from of the field,
White as the -pofless lilies in their bloom,
With hearts of gold revealed
Mid circiing leaves 50 delicate and frail.
That brought light with them where the shades
prevail.
Children of sum- and rain, and midnight dew.
Famed by the wandering wind
With eyes forever searching heavens clear blue
Their radiant stars to find,
Ye drink their light when all around is still
And perfumes from unnumbered flowers distil.
The vhipp- orwill his nightly call repeats
From ont the forest shade;
And when the morn invades his dusk retreats,
Ann nights pale giories fade.
Other and sweeter voices bid ye hail,
And the fresh dews upon the winds exhaie-
The daxning finds your yet unwithered bloom
Greeting the rising sun,
Losing no brightness, gathering no gloom,
When the long day is done;
The restless bee has sought your Lowry bed,
And from your dainty largess freely fed
No floral darling nursed with tender care,
Seem. fairer to the view
Than ye free children of the sun and air
That favoring springs renew;
Your pre- sence teaches, like the sparrow's fall,
That He who made, careth for great and small.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

1t will be apparent to any one, who will
examine SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, large proportion of the
precious metal used is needed only to stiffen
and hold the engraved portions in place and
supply the necessary soldity and strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless so far
as utility and beauty are concerned. In
JAMES BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH
CASES, this waste of precious metal is over
come, and the SAME sOLIDITY AND STRENGTH
produced at from one third to one-half of the
usual cost of solid cases. This process is of
the most simple nature, as follows: a plate
of nickle composition metal, especially
adapted to the purpose, has two plates of
SOLID GOLD soldered one on each side. The
three are then passed between polished steel
rollers, and the result is strip of heavy
plated composition, from which the cases,
backs. centres, bezels, &C., are cut and
shaped by suitable dies and formers. The
gold in these cases is sufficiently thick to adj
NIT of all kinds of chasing, engraving and
enamelling; the engraved cases have been
carried until worn perfectly smooth by time
and use without removing the gold.
THIS is THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL GER
TIFICATE.
