Peace for a troubled heart, 
Time-tossed on darkening seas, 
’Neath gloom of clouded skies, 
And restless harmonies. 
The tide that throbbed so long, 
Up rock-ribbed lengths of shore- 
To-day the waves are calm, 
Their requiems are o’er. 
Peace for a troubled brain, 
From all the earth-strife drear, 
From tolling schemes, and pain, 
From ache, and doubting fear, 
' That wears the calm to-day. 
That angel faces know. 
A pure life, given hack 
Regret*—dead memories past, 
Ad hushed beneath this mound, 
Of daisied sod,—at last.

Address J». D. T. ROOM, Rochester, N. Y. 
I had been reading to my little ones tbe le¬ 
gends of the Northern lands, in which, to tell 
the truth, I had taken as deep an interest as the 
open-mouthed young folks themselves. 
When the children had gone to lied, I lament¬ 
ed that the belief in fairies had died out. 
“Alas!” said I, “that they have vanished! ” 
“Weel, I no ken that,” replied my Scottish 
friend, Me H ag gis; “ I’m a thinkin’ there are as 
mony giants and fairies in the worrld as ever 
there war! Gang yer gate to Waltham, as ye 
were talkin’ o’, and if ye dinna see a lot o’ fairies 
there, and if it is 11 a a giant that carries ye there, 
ye ken say I’m wrang! ” 
“A giant carry me ? ” 
“Aye, mon!” said the Scot; “what auld 
giants that yc e’er read o’ can be mated wi’ an 
engine?” 
And so, one day, I placed myself behind the 
great giant of the nineteenth century—a loco¬ 
motive engine—and went to the pretty rural 
town of Waltham, Mass., in the United States— 
a town famous “not for a day, bnt for all time,*' 
for hero a pair of great steam giants turn the 
wheels that again turn the wheels that mark the 
time for a continent. It takes a l'our-ftere lot to 
hold these giants—caeli with a hundred iron 
arms and a thousand steel Angers; and this four- 
acre lot is built within and without and overhead 
with brjck and iron and glass, and is called, 
The*American Watch Factory of Waltham ; ” 
and it was thereabout that Mcflaggie said I 
should find the fairies. 
But the fairies of our day—that is, the Walt¬ 
ham fairies — are not like those we read of. 
They don’t play elfin pranks, for their every step 
is measured by the sun; and they have nothing 
to do with wings, but to mark the steady motion 
ol those of old Father Time himself. 
But to drop metaphor, and come down to the 
practical as well as the poetical part of this fairy 
hive of industry and order, let us walk through 
some of the long galleries of this litiry palace, 
and for guide and mentor wc will take one of 
the managers. 
“But first,” said we to our guide, “will you 
please inform us how tills great establishment 
originated?” 
He informed me that the manufacture of 
watches by machinery is a distinctively Ameri¬ 
can undertaking. For several generations a vast 
number of watches have been made in England, 
Switzerland and France; bnt the component 
pieces have been made and finished by baud in 
different factories, and even in different prov¬ 
inces, with no direct relation to each other. 
Here in Waltham, on the contrary, a watch is 
created in all its wonderful harmony and exqui¬ 
site beauty from tbe original and crude materials 
—the brass, tbe steel, the enamel, the gold, the 
unwrought jewels — under one roof and one

One morning during the late war, an officer, 
riding through the woods of North Alabama, 
was attracted by a tall, lank countryman, who 
seemed to be using his best endeavors to read) 
the top of a large hickory tree. Scarcely had lie 
gained the summit, when, rapidly descending, 
he started up another one a few yards further off, 
This strange proceeding was continued at least 
a dozen times, the countryman climbing and de¬ 
scending one tree after another for nearly a 
quarter ol a mile. The officer, at length over¬ 
taking him, inquired Hip eause of his eccentric 
gyrations. “Wall, stranger,” be answered, “I 
was lying’ asleep under yon hickory when a 
darned squirrel dropped a shell bark into my 
eye. I’m goiu’ to worry him. I’m goin’ to 
worry him till lie leaves the settlement, if I die 
in the attempt.”

Mr. Colfax said he would probably be there. 
“ So am I. Did you ever bear Colfax ?” 
“ Oh, yes, very often,” was Mr. C.’s reply, 
“ Well, what kind of a man is lie ? Is he a

“ Well, really, I don’t know as my opiuiou is

beyond the Mississippi. He had all his worldly 
goods packed on wagons, and on one wagon 
there hung a jug with the bottom out. lie asked 
him why he carried that with him. “Why,” 
said he, “that’s rny Taylor jug.” “And what 
is a Taylor jug ?” asked my friend. “ Why,” 
said he, “ I had a son with General Taylor’s 
army in Mexico, and Hie old General always told 
him to carry his whisky jug with a hole in the 
bottom ; and since that I have carried my jug as 
you see it, and 1 find it is the best invention I

there was free trade in watches. A petty tariff 
of only seven and a hull per cent, was all the 
“protection”—nominal or real — that existed 
fifteen years ago to foster native enterprise and 
genius. Ingenious men conceived the idea of 
nmnnfactnring every part of the watch, and of 
performing every process of manipulation, by a 
succession of machines, each of wlftcli should 
execute one function only, and then pass its 
work over to another piece of mechanism. The 
only duty left to man in this daring coneoptlou 
was to superintend the work of the irou slaves 
whom he had created, to carry their products 
troin one to another, and to put the watch to¬ 
gether after all Its parts had been.completed. 
The scheme was an ideal one; there were no 
such machines in existence: hut the plan was 
seconded by capital, and, in 1853, the experiment 
was tried. At that time, although the chief 
parts of a watch were made by machines, there 
were still a large number of pieces turned out 
by band and various important processes en¬ 
trusted to manual skill, which are now done 
wholly by iiioehanirm. The company of ma¬ 
chines was quickly increased to a regiment, the 
regiment to a brigade, and now tbo brigade has 
become an army. 
I asked bow many watches were imported an¬ 
nually. I
