“ Social position be ignored ! What do I care for 
social position, as long as my little Grace has con¬ 
sented to make sunshine of my home ?” 
“ Yes, but, Frank—” 
“ Well, but, Grace ?” 
“ Do you really love me?” 
For the answer he took both the fair, delicate 
hands in his, and looked steadily into her eyes. 
“Frank,” gaid Grace Teller, demurely, “I’m 
afraid that you’ll make a dreadfully strong-willed, 
obstinate sort of a husband.” 
“I shouldn’t wonder, Grace.” 
And so the purple twilight faded into purple 
Bofter than the shadow of the eastern amethyists, 
and the stars came out one by one, and still Frank 
and Grace talked on, and still Mary Elton didn’t 
succeed in finding the missing pattern. 
“ Grace,” said Frank, gravely and almost sternly, 
“ what does this mean ?” 
The bine eyes filled with tears as she clung closer 
to his arm. 
“I can’t help owning the calico factories, Frank. 
Don’t yon love me just as well as if I didn’t?” 
“ My little deceiver! But why did you not tell 
me V” 
“ Why should 1 tell you, Frank ? It was so nice 
to leave the heiress behind, and be plain Grace Tel¬ 
ler for a while, and when I saw how opposed your 
mother was to our engagement, a spark of woman’s 
willfulness rose up within roe, and I resolved I would 
maintain my incognito, come what might. Mrs. 
Seymour,’ she added, turning archly round and 
holding her hand to the discomfited old lady, 
“didn’t I tell you that I owed my daily bread to 
the factory?” 
And poor Mrs. Seymour for once in her life was 
at a loss for an answer.

THE BEST! ! THE CHEAJ’EST! ! 
The extensive nse of these "Watches by Railway Conduct¬ 
ors. Engineers anil Expressmen, Ihe most r-xnrtlng class of 
watch-wearers, has thoroughly demonstrated the strength, 
steadier-?, durability and accuracy of the WALTHAM 
WATCH. To satisfy that class in all these respects is to 
decide the question as to the real valneof these timekeep¬ 
er?. More than 300.000 are thus speaking for themselves In 
the pockets of the people, imported Watches are made on 
an expensive system. In small numbers, but by numerous 
makers, and arc placed tn the market here by an Importer 
who first secures a 
Monopoly of Sale of some one Manufacture. 
To the Manufacturers' profit most be added cost of impor¬ 
tation. A Custom House duty of as per cent., payable in 
gold. A profit of at least 25 per cent, to the Importer, an¬ 
other profit to the .lohber, thus nearly doubling the cost 
of the Imported Watch. 
At Waltham. Watches arc manufactured on a large scale, 
under one roof and system of supervision and management, 
thereby raving ninny of the expenses necessarily Incurred 
in small establishment*, hence their great cheapness. All 
respectable dealers now sell WALTHAM WATCHES, and 
competition, as all the world knows. Is favorable, to small 
profits. The trade is satisfied, because, though the profit on 
each Watch Is small, the demand Is large and ail are salable. 
Unscrupulous importer; occauionallyplace a worthless Stout 
imitation in the market, To avoid imposition, the pure timer 
ihouUt invariably demand a certificate of genuineness, signed 
by It E. BOBBINS, 
There ure dl tie rent grades of finish in the different varie¬ 
ties of Watches made by the Waltham Company, as thcTe 
are different sixes and shapes to Milt all tastes and means; 
but every Watch that bears the genuiue trade-mark of 
’• WALTHAM i? guaranteed to be a good one. and nobody 
need be afraid to buy It. 
EVERY WATCH FULEY WARRANTED. 
For? de by all first-class dealers In the United States and 
British Provinces.

Ask for a WALTHAM Watch and take no Other. 
It is the Best ! It is the Cheapest ! 
Yonder where the waves are flowing, 
Glowing in the sun,— 
Where the rays of light are playing, 
Straying, one by one 
O’er the surface bright and beaming. 
Gleaming like the stars,— 
Floats a vessel, light and airy, 
Fairy-like its spars. 
There it onward floats forever, 
Never coming near, 
As the ships on painted ocean 
Motiouleis appear, 
And it bears the every treasure, 
Pleasure, gladuess each, 
That I long for unavailing— 
Bailing out of reach 1 
Through the golden sunlight peering. 
Fearing it may glide 
Out of sight, I watch it ever, 
Never satisfied; 
Hoping that its freight of pleasure, 
Treasure, I may see, 
As reward for hope’s abiding, 
Gliding in to me! 
Beautiful as any maiden, 
Laden with its freight, 
Is the ship, with beauty fairer. 
Rarer, that. I wait. 
Hailing it—“Fair craft, and whither? 
Hither 1’’ I beseech: 
Never does It bced my hailing, 
Sailing out of reach! 
turned Mrs. Seymour absently. Tbe fact was that 
6he was thinking in her inmost mind, what will 
Frank say? and anticipating the flag of triumph 
6he was about to wave over him. 
“I do not hesitate to confess,” went on Grace, 
looking Mrs. Seymour full in the eye, “ that to the 
calico factory I owe ray bread.” 
“ Very laudable, I'm Bure,” said the old lady, 
growing a little uneasy under the clear blue gaze, 
"only there are steps and gradations in all society, 
you know, and—and I am a little surprised to find 
you so intimate with Mibb Elton, whose family is—” 
Mary came over to Grace’s side and stooped to 
kiss her cheek. 
“ My dearest friend, my most precious compan¬ 
ion,” she murmured, “I should be quite lost 
without her, Mrs. Seymour.” 
The old lady took her leave stiflly, and did not 
ask Grace to return her call, although she extended 
an invitation to Mary, couched in the politest and 
most distinct terms. 
“Frank!” she ejaculated as she returned home, 
never once stopping to remove shawl or bonnet, 
“ who do you suppose your paragon of a Miss 
Teller is ?” 
“The loveliest of her sex,” returned Frank briefly 
and comprehensively. 
“A factory girl!” screamed the old lady at the 
top of her lungs, “ a factory girl!” 
“ Well, what of that?” 
“ What of that ? Frank Seymour, you never mean 
to say that you would have anything to say to a 
common factory girl ?” 
“ I should pronounce her a very uncommon fac¬ 
tory girl, mother,’' ijaid the young man, with aggra¬ 
vated calmness. 
“ Frank, don’t jest with me,” pleaded the poor 
little mother, with tears in her eyes. “ Tell me at 
once that you will give up this idle fancy for a girl 
who is in no respect equal to you.” 
“No, she is in no respect, my equal,” returned 
Frank, with reddening cheek and sparkling eye, 
“but in every respect my superior. Grace Teller 
is one of the noblest women that ever breathed this 
terrestrial air, as well as the most beautiful. Mother, 
1 love her, and she has promised to be my wife.” 
“ Frank, Frank, I never thought to see iny son 
marry a factory girL” 
And then a torrent, of tears came to her relief, 
while Frank went on quietly touching up the sear 
let foliage of a splendid old maple in the picture. 
Mrs. Seymour was the first to arrive at Mrs. Ran¬ 
dall’s select soiree on the first. Wednesday evening 
in July; the fact was she Wanted a chance to con¬ 
fide her grief to Mrs. Randall’s sympathetic car. 
“ Crying ? Yes, of course 1 have been crying, Mrs, 
Randall; I have done nothing but cry for a week.” 
“Mercy upon us,” said Mrs. Randall, elevating 
her kid-gloved hands, “ what is tbe matter ? I hope 
Frank isn’t in any 6ort of trouble?” 
“My dear,” said the old lady in a mysterious 
whisper, “ Frank has been entrapped—inveigled 
into the most dreadful entanglements. Did you 
ever fancy that he, the most fastidious and partic¬ 
ular of created beings, could be resolutely determ¬ 
ined ou marrying a factory girl V” 
Mrs. Randall uttered an exclamation of horrified 
surprise, and at the same moment a party of guests 
were announced, among whom was Miss Teller, 
looking more lovely than ever. 
“Well,” thought Mrs. Seymour, as her hostess 
hurried away to welcome the ucw comers, “well, 
wonders never cease ! Grace Teller at Mrs. Ran¬ 
dall’s soiree! But 1 suppose it’s all on account of 
Mary Elton’s uncle, the Judge. Here comes Mr. 
Parker and Cynthia; dear me, what a curious mix¬ 
ture is our American society; how they will be 
shocked to meet Miss Teller!” 
Involuntarily she advanced a step or two to wit¬ 
ness the meeting. Mr. Parker looked quite as much 
astonished as she had expected, but somehow it 
was not the kind of astonishment that was on the 
programme, 
“MisB Grace! You here? Why, when did you 
come from Factoryville ?” 
“You arc acquaiuted with Miss Teller?” asked 
Mrs. Randall, with some surprise, 
“ Quite well; in fact, I have had the management 
of her property for some years. Miss Teller is the 
young lady who owns the extensive calico factories 
from which our village takes its name.” 
“ Dear me!” exclaimed Mrs. Seymour, turning 
pale and sinking down upon a divan near her. 
“ Why, they say the heiress of the old gentleman 
who owned the Factoryville property is the richest 
girl in the country.”

spite of everything ?” 
Grace Teller had been crying; the dew was yet 
on her eyelashes, and the unnatural crimson on her 
cheeks, as Frank Seymour came in, and Mary Elton 
considerately stepped out to search for a missing 
pattern. 
“ I should rather think so,” suid Frank, looking 
admiringly down on the golden head that was stoop¬ 
ing among the pansies.
