\\ HY raves that ghastly haggard wretch, who stamps with frantic mien, A nd crushes 'neath his iron heel what once a watch had been ? T hat watch was a deceiver, and that man has been deceived, Even now he missed his train because its false tale he believed. ■ * * . * i * * * » Returning ten days afterward, I see with face serene Before me stand, with watch in hand, he who that wretch had been. Untroubled now he waits the train, devoid of care or worry, Repose and rest upon his face, where all before was flurry. You ask me "Whence this wondrous change?" He's bought a Waterbury ? NOTE. The genuine Waterbury Watch. is sold by the agents, Messrs. E. Porter and Co., -street, Auckland, and branches, at 13s 6d each, and buyers will do well to purchase from them direct, in order to secure themselves from annoyance and imposition. Ihere is only one Waterbury, and it has only one price. 13s 6d. Many watches are sold daily, at from 7s 6d to lis, as Waterburys, which are simply cheap and rubbishy imitations made in Switzerland and on the Continent. These will neither keep ti~c nor can they be repaired, as no watchmaker has any proper material. IMPORTANT NOTICE. The Waterbury Watch Company have contraded w%th a leading Queen-street Jeweller to $*" any Waterburys sold by their agents, L. Porter and Co., at a price ranging from sixpence to halfown, and to supply them solely with material/or the purpose. Should any Waterbury need repairing or adjusting take it at once to the agent. If you take it to any other jeweller, or attempt to open and adjust it yourself, you cannot succeed, and in this case, shoidd you seek to have it set right by the. agents, a uniform charge of FIVE SHILLINGS will be made. On no account will any cheap imitation watches be repaired. In consequence of many owners opening their watches for experimental purposes, we have resolved to double the •■ha rye. fur repairing all sur.h, because a great nvxng jmrts are necessarily strained ami hro'.,■■.. ■'■■■;. imperfect knowledge in the. oi><>>-' :
