MORE WATCHES DESIRABLE.

Keep a watch on Mr Gladstone, and let it be a Waterbury, in order that its regularity and steady adherence to correct principles

may stimulate the great statesman to persevere in his determination to give Ireland what she asks for and is worthy of —Home rule and self-government.

Keep a watch on Lord Salisbury—a Waterbury, because he may then remember that one of the greatest boons of the age—the correct time for 13s (3d—is the product of peace-loving Democratic America, pledged to arbitration, and hating war. He may also then consider the advisability of settling international differences by fairer methods than coercion, and the power of might over right.

Keep a watch on O'Donovan Rossa, not a

Waterbury, because its simple construction and perfect integrity would be no match for the ingenious plotter whose vapourings have caused so much speculation in Groat Britain and America.

Keep a watch on Admiral Fairfax—a

Waterbury—in order that the actions of his squadron may be properly regulated, prompt, and well-timed. Every man in the fleet ought to own one.

Keep a watch on the Prince of Wales, and let it be a Waterbnry, in order that its truthfulness and reliability may convince him that, mechanically perfect, it is a very proper and well-behaved companion.

Keep a watch on New Zealand, and let it be the plain, unassuming Waterbury, because it is <q>rpj>flg of the times—useful, durable, and inexpensive; and its acquisition will not necessitate another loan. New Zealanders

should cultivate habits of punctuality, and

there is no better way of commencing than by supplying yourself and families with AVaterbury watches, in order that the correct time may always be at hand, instead of—as is frequently the case with more pretentious substitutes—lying at Hie jeweller's for their perennial overhaul.
