How Watch Gases are Made.

A plate of SOLID GOLD IA 2-10 karats
fine is soldered on each side of q plate of
hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
parts of the cases-backs, centers, bezels, s,etc.
are cut and shaped by dies and formers.
The gold is thick enough to admit of all
kinds of chasing, engraving, and engine
turning. The composition metal gives 1t
needed strength, stiffness and soljdity, while
tue ugritterl guarantee of the manufacturers
,cGrranting each case to wear tocenty years
proves that it contains all the gold that
can possibly be needed. This guarantee
is given from GctuaI results, as aaany OF
these cases have been worn perfectly smooth
by years of use without wearing through
the gold. DUBUQUE, IA, Dec "A. 1880

Youth and Age.

The time for action is in our youth.
1t is then that we gather in the grapes.
With freckled faces, sunburnt hands
and bare feet we wander from vine to
vine, from trellis to trellis in the very
exuberance of childish glee and spir-
its. In age we quietly sit in the shade,
and while the hours away in CONVEX
sation with our friends while we sip
the wine, which is the better for the
long years which have passed since
the vintage. In youth we should
learn wisdom. It is thus we should
SOW the seeds which are to bear fruit
for the future. We should be taught
that PERUNA is the greatest medi-
cine ever discovered, and that it has
worked some wonderful cures. There
is a book which can be procured at
the drug stores, which tells you all
about this medicine. 1t is entitled
the 'Ills of Life Ask for it, and
read it through, and then buy PERUNA
and you will never regret it. Send to
DIR. S. B. Hartman & Co., Columbus,
Ohio, for a book on the "Ills of Life"
gratis.

The Uncertainty of Justice.

Some time ago a Miss Bond, of
Taylorville, Illinois, was seized by
three young villains, who had pre-
viously conspired to outrage her
person. They consummated their
devilish purpose. and the brazen
devils remained in the community
determined to lie themselves out OF
the crime. The poor girl, of excel
lent family, rs to-day humiliated and
heart-broken, and her family sorely
distressed and outraged in the fact
that the criminals have been run
through court, claiming to be a
court of justice, and set at liberty.
Relatives came forward, and with
perjured souls swore an abb for the
boys. The girl identified her destroy
ers beyond doubt, but the jury re-
ceived the perjured testimony OF her
destroyers, and the outcome OF the
case is that she has no protection
before the law. A rope was at one
time placed around the neck of one OF
the villains by the infuriated neigh
bors, but the father Of the girl him,
self plead for his life, and counseled
that the law should be permitted to
take its course, in the full belief that
Justice would be done his daughter
and the family. Instead of receiving
justice, the villains are set at liberty,
and by base insinuations against the
chastity of the victim, they have
made clear triumph over the law
under which they should have SUI
fered death. The uncle OF the g1r!!
was so wrought upon by the escape OF
the gheartless scoundrels that he COM
mitted suicide. The law all over the
land seems to be miscarrying In re-
gard to crime. Many devils are es-
Gaping whose province is to commit
crime of every description, because OF
the laxness of courts, the unrella-
bility of juries, the efforts of attornies
to prevent speedy trials and just YER
diets, and it will not be until the
people become desperate and upset the
whole court machinery that they will
be able to bring order out OF chaos.
The criminal is too highly favored.
His case is STAYED off court after court,
the testimony of three or four pro-
fessional liars and chance perjurers is
permitted to outweigh the same num-
Der Of good men; doubts are created
upon small basis, and the criminal,
no matter how boldly his crime stares
him in the face, is given the benefit OF
them, and he is set at liberty or re-
ceives slight penalty. All this is not
promotive of good order, and it is so
viewed everywhere all over the land.
People are becoming desperate. As
much as mobs are discouraged in
this country, there is an under vein
of insubordination being fostered that
will in the very nature of things man
ifest itself in violence sooner or later.
We do not wish to live to see the day,
when neighbor shall assume to take
the law in hand against neighhor, but
it is evident that the school is now IN
progress that will bring about such
results. Men will not see their fami-
lies murdered and daughters outraged
by scoundrels who neither fear God
nor respect men. lie the law does not
give them security, what can they do
but neighbor to stand shoulder to
neighbor for common defense in
way that the law does not contem-
plate. He that hath ears to hear, let
him hear.

Do 1t Now.

If ever you find yourself where you
have so many things pressing upon
you that you hardly know how to be-
gin, let me tell you secret; take hold
of the first one that comes to hand,
and you will find the rest all fall into
file, and follow after, like company
of well-drilled soldiers; and though
work may be hard to meet when it
charges in a squad it is easily van
quished if you can bring it into line;
You have often seen the anecdote OF
the man who was asked how he had
accomplished so much in his life?'

ply, when had anything to do, to
go and do it" There is secret-the
