TOPERS, AHOY!
Nobody symathises with the man wh 0 spends twenty shillings a week on whisky and keeps himself and his family without a reliable watch or clock of any kind to regulate their movements. Twenty-seven nips will buy the son a Waterbury ; and if this should catch the eye of anyone who has been in the habit of drinking pretty freely, or who has a deserving son at home, let him give him a Waterbury bhis Christinas, when for once in his life, ab all events, ho will get good value for his money. When extensive watches (on account of their intricate mechanism) come to repairs they cost more in some cases than a new Waterbury. The later is a goer, however ; whilst the former is an ornament only. Start the New Year with one, and be convinced.
