PRACTICAL ADVICE.
The Waterbury will keep Greenwich, Chriatchureh, Mean, Sidereal, or any other species of time, except bad time. In this respect its morals are incorruptible. The old and threadbare story of George Washington (deceased) and the apple tree has long since ceased to become synonymous for truth and unswerving accuracy. Now, if a fond and respectable father wants to give his eon a lecture he should simply say, "Tell the truth like the Waterbury, Johnny, and then nobody will ever doubt you." This bit of advice, with a Waterbury thrown in, costs you respectively thirteen and sixpence, or one pound —according to whether the Waterbury thrown in is one of the old favorites, series E; or one of the new wonders, series J (gent's size), or L (ladies' elze).
