A WATCH IN LITEEIATUiIE. Did tho reader ever atop to think what an impression the Waterbury Wufcch has made upon tb.e literature of our times ? How frequently „it has furnished a joke or funny squfb f ot the newspaper ? How often it has been written up in periodicals aa a useful and desirable acquisition, if not exactly '' a thing of beauty and joy for ever ?" If not, all he has to do ia to let his mind dwell upon the subject for a fow moments, and ho will recall paragraph after paragraph which has gone the I rounds, not excepting that account of the traveller in a Baltimore car whose curiosity was so great that he pried into the interior of his " Waterbury" with bi3 knife, thereby releasing a spring which, boa-constrictor fashion, went squirming through the car, throwing down passengers and doing all sorts of terriblo things, until it finally tripped up the horses and charged upon a policeman with disastrous consequences to the "minion of the ; law," a 8 the Chicago {socialists express it. And :' perhaps ho will recall accounts of fishes caught ■ with " Waterbnrys" safely stowed away in their internal economies, aud tho marvellous telegrams on festive occasions from Presidento and other dignities of the United States to the , London agents of the watch. And this state of things ia continuing, and is , likely to carry tha name of tho Brass City (Waterbury, Conn.) to the uttermost end's of the earth, and transmitting it to ages yet unborn through the bookshelves of libraries. For , instance, in the September instalment in Harpee's Magazine of William Dean Ho well's remarkable story, " April Hopos," we come upon this passage* " Beardmaa lifted his head nervously from the pillow." " Ob, I'll put J them on tho bod if you're so punctilious!" : cried Mavering. " I don't mind the clothes," said Beardman. " I thought I heard ray watch knock on the floor in my vest pocket ; just take it out, will you, and Boeif you've stopped it?" " Oh, confound your old Waterbury i a>H the world' 6 stopped. Why shouldn't your watch stop too ?" Maveriog tugged it out of the pocket, and then shoved it back disdainfully. " Yon couldn't stop that thing with anything short of a Bledge hammer. It's rattling like a mowing machine." And ihe Omaha Wwld, under the caption of ''Getting Ready for the jonrnej," has this to aaj :— Tho President : "Daniel, I wish you would go out and buy me a Waterbnry Watch ; get ouo for about two [dollars?" Daniel: "Yes ? sire." "And, by : the way, take n>v watch with you, and doposit it in my box in tho bank vault." " Yes, sire ; is that all?" " That'sall, except on your way back f you might drop into the railroad office, and aak what time tho train starts for Missouri." The subject is not one to be dismissed with a laugh. There is food for Bolid thought in the fame which this product of one of Waterbury's great and marvellous manufactories has brought to this community. Long^ life to the Waterbury watch, and may its Bpring never De*shortehed, except as by shortening it better results are obtained for the same or leas monoy. — Water' bury Mcpublican* Tho marvellous Waterbury may be obtained from any respectable storekeepers or dealers.
