An Essay on Time.

Time is usually represented as a bowlegged old man, hobbling along with a rusty, broken-edged scythe that wouldn't cut cheese on a cold day ; but every man who is deep in debt, and seeks to stare off calamity bygiving his acceptance, will tell you with woful eyes that" "Old Invincible" now does his travelling with a pair of the stoutest wings, with not a feather out of place, and carrying a nickel silver keyless "Waterbury," showing time to the minute. Procrastination may be " the thief of time," but if he cribs a "Waterbury," you can replace it at the following ugureß.—

"Series E."-— The best form of the original Waterbnry. A good, cheap, serviceiable watch, with nickelled case etem- winder, and runs twenty-eight hours with one winding. These are made by the best automatic machinery. Price, 13s 6d.

"Series J." — The new Waterbury, short-wind, stem-set, enamelled dial, with Beconds-hand, jewelled, duplex escapement, same diameter as " Series E," but not so, thick. Price, 22s 6d, or with patent dial 20s.

"Series L."— The Ladies' Waterbury, which is the latest, and is a short-wind, stem-Bet, enamelled dial, jewelled, duplex escapement watch, smaller than " Series E " and J." Price, 22s 6d, or with patent dial, 20s.

CAUTION.— If you 'want correct time and a watch which, in event of accident, can be cheaply repaired, demand the WATERBURY WATCH. All watchea manufacturrd by the Waterbury Watch Co. have the word " Waterbury " printed in small fine type upon their dial faces, and also the interwoven letters W.W. Co.
