A few days ago, while Judge Barker was presiding over the Supreme Court at Lock port, N. Y., a juryman was absent from his seat, all the others being occupied. A dog, looking for the master, very quietly took the vacant place. The J udge, addressing Hon. A. P. Lanning, of Buffalo, said: “ You see, Mr. Lanning, that the jurymen’s seats are all occupied. Are you ready to proceed?” The distinguished pleader raised his glasses to his eyes, and, after a brief survey of the jury box, made the reply: “ Your Honor, that fellow might do for a Judge; but I should hate to trust him tor a juryman." The Judge joined heartily in the laugh that followed. A naval officer being at sea in a dreadful storing his wife, who was sitting in the cabin near him, and filled with ajarptfoe the safety of the vessel, was so surprised at his composure and serenity that she cried out, “ My dear, are you not afraffif How ia it possible that you can be calm in such a dreadful storm ?” He rose from the Chair lashed to the deck, supporting himself by a pillow of the bedplace, drew his sword, and, pointing to the breast of his wife, while he adjusted his life-preserver, exclaimed, “Are you not afraid of that sword ?” She instantly answered “ No.” “ Why ?" said, the officer. “ Because,” rejoined the lady, “I know that it is in the hands of my husband. and be knows, too well to hurt me, that if I die now all my money will go to sister Belle.”Tre New Orleans papers tell a romance of the Chicot Noir crevasse: The belle of a neighboring country seat on the banks of the river was assiduously courted by two eligible young gentlemen, to one of whom she gave her heart, bnt to the other her parents insisted npon riving her hand. She vainly remonstrated, but the day was fixed, the party assembled, and the unfortunate girl, in a bewildered and half unconscious state, compelled to “stand up” for the ceremony. Just as the clergyman approached that part of the service which required her assent there came a roar and a crash. The river had burst its banka dose to the house. The guests fled iii terror, the bride fainted before she had said “ I will,’' and the re jected suiter, rushing in, carried her off, and before niriit had her safely married.

Great care should be taken to have the aidaa of the hive level with each other, while the beck end should be raised about three inches higher than the front, thus forming (of the bottom board) an inclined plane, and rendering it aagy for the bees to clean their hive of moths and dust. When the swarm alights on the bodr or limb of a tree, or upon the limb or a valuable tree, they may be very quietly and gently brushed with a quill feather into a box or open basket, and then quickly covered, carried to the hive, shaken out upon the doth, and induced to enter, as above directed. Bees dislike to be brushed with hairy or wooly substances— Maryland Farmer.

Robins Under Temptation.

A correspondent of the Boston Journal of Chemistry writes: “ 1 do not remember having seen it noticed in print, but the robins which leave tbelr Northern home to winter at the South, fall while there into very bad habits. They are exceedingly fond of the berries of the “Pride of India," a tree which ia grown extensively for ornament and shade in some localities of Georgia and Florida. As this tree bears its fruit abundantly, somewhat after the manner of mountain ash in uorthern latitudes, birds collect upon it in great numbers and after feeding awhile, many of them become so intoxicated that they can neither fly nor remain perched on the branches, but faU to the ground. Here they are picked up by the colored population, who esteem them very nice material for pot plea. If left undisturbed the little creatares soon recover from the effects of their indiscretion; but, like some human beings, learning no wisdom from experience, and consulting appetite at the expense of safety, they again return to the tree and indulge themselvea with its delicious but dangerous fare.

Toads.

At a meeting of the N. Y.,’ Farmers' Club, Dr. J. V. C. Smith, late of Boston, read an interesting paper on the importance of farmers protecting toads from injury or destruction The following ts an extract from the document: “In consequence of the instinctive appetite of the toad for living insects, a rapid digestion and capacious membranous stomach capable of remarkable disetention, toads are incalculably useful to the gardener by protecting his under vines from the nocturnal depredators. Both toads and frogs catch their own prey with the point of their tongue. It is a marvelously constructed or* gan—occupying but little room at the eud of the gullet—appearing liEe a small fleshy eminence on prying open the jaws; it is singularly elastic, and may be projected at the pleasure of the animal, 6 and 8 inches, and perhaps more. The projectile force is exerted with the quickness of a flash of light. An extremely tenacious secretion exudes from it so sticky that the slightest touch with the object at which it is thrust holds it firmly; and the contraction of the fibres instantly delivers the struggling captive exactly at the opening of the sauces, where it is taken off, as our teeth detach a morsel from the tines of a fork.” No wonder, then, that gardeners about Paris buy toads and pay a given sum per dozen, as they do, to put in their gardens. The French people were the first to learn and proclaim the great utility of birds to both farmers and gardeners, and to advocate their protection against sportsmen who too often shoot them merely to gratify a love for what they call sport. Spare birds, toads, frogs, skunks and crows, say we, for they are all great insect feeders; and though the latter two may occasional ly do a little mischief, their co-operative service with farmers for outweighs it all Again we say, spare the vermin-destroy-ing animals. —Boston Cultivator.

The Peace Jubilee.

Those attending the Great Peace Jubilee and Mnsical Festival at Boston, Junels;h, 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th, should procure tickets via Erie Railway, which offers the cheapest rates, and is the most comfortable and attractive route to the East. The magnificent steamers of the Fall River and Newport Line have their landing in New York at the Erie Railway depot, so that passengers by this route avoid the expense and annoyance of a transfer through the city. The beautiful scenery of the Erie Railway, and the delightful sail through Long Island Sound, are particularly enjoyable at this season, and with the low rates of fare to the Festival, will, we think, induce many to make their summer pleasure trip at this time.

The natural result of exhaustion of strength hr excessive labor or action, is a feeling of weakness, dullness, heaviness, weariness, languor ot body or mind, Ac. Persons ot a weak constitution, or whose habits are sedentary, frequently - complain of this relaxed condition of the vital energies; and when persons of a nervous temperament are thus weakened and debilitated, disease Inevitably follows, unless It is at once checked and overcome. All who suffer from these causes alike require a remedy which will strengthen the system without exciting it, and awake a feeling of true enjoyment, so that life may become a source of pleasure.

WALTHAITWATCM .A. CARD. An illuatratod record of the watches produced at the Waltham Manufactory may be not improperly prefaced with a brief mention of the considerations which induce us to press them Ujlon the attention of intelligent watch-buyers. Fifteen years’ successful experience , notify us in claiming for the Waltham Watches peculiarities of excellence which plaoe them above all foreign rivalry. The system which governs their construction Is their most obvious source of merit. The substitution of machinery for hand labor has been followed not only by greater simplicity, but by a precision in detail, and accuracy and uniformity in their time-keeping qualities, which by the old methods of manufacture are unattainable.

The application of machinery to watchmaking has, in fact, wrought a revolution in the main features of the business. In conjunction with enlarged power of production, it has enabled ua to secure the smoothness and certainty of movement which proceed from the perfect adaptation of every piece to Its place. Insteadof a feeble, sluggish, variable action, the'balance, even under the pressure of the lightest mainspring, vibrates with a wide and free motion. The several grades of watches have more than a general resemblance, each to its pattern : they are perfect in their unliormity, and may be bought and sold with entire confidence as to the qualities we assign to them. These general claims to superiority are ho longer contested. An English watchmaker, in a recent lecture before the Horological Institute of London, describing the result of two months’ close observation at the various manufactories in the United Btatea, remarks in reference to Waltham : “ On leaving the factory, I felt that the manufacture of watches on the old plan was gone.” Other foreign makers, some of them eminent, have publicly borne the same testimony. They admit that the results aimed at ih Europe by slow and costly processes are here realized with greater certainty, with an almost absolute uniformity, and at a cost which more than -compensates for the difference between manual labor in the old world and the new;

But we assert for the Waltham watches more than a general superiority. Their advantagiki in respect of quality and price, over English and Swiss watches, are not more marked than are their advantages over the products of other American manufactories. These are positive in their character, and are the natural consequences of the precedence we acquired in the trade, and the proportions to which our manufactory has attained. No industrial law is better established than that which cheapens the cost of an article in proportion to the magnitude of its production. The extent of our establishment —the combination of skilled labor on an extensive scale, with machinery perfect and ample—enables us to offer watches at lower rates than those of any other manufacturer. The aggregate of profit is the end kept in view—not the profit on any single wateh. And, acting on this principle, with reduced cost of production and an ever widening demand, our watches are offered at prices considerably below the watches of other American makers, comparing quality with quality. Our annual manufacture is double that of all otner makers in this country combined, and much larger than the entire manufacture of England.

The conditions which make this cheapness possible are also favorable to the excellence of our work. Our artisans long ago ceased to be novices. Time and effort, under a superintendence which combines the Bubtleties of science with the strength of practical skill, have produced a body of artisans whose efficiency is for the time pre-eminent We have the best workers in every department that are available—workers whose expertness and experience would be alone sufficient to secure for Waltham its Ugh position. Among other tributary causes, may be stated the readiness with which each sue ceeding invention and improvement has been tested, and* if approved, adopted. We are always ready to examine whatever experience, or art, or skill, may suggest, but We adopt nothing , x Ußtil experiments have uemonstrated its excellence. In pursuance of this rule, we have brought to our aid all the mechanical improvements and valuable inventions of the last fifteen years, whether home or foreign in their origin. We have thus acquired the exclusive possession of the best and most valuable improvements now known in connection with watch making, and secured for the Walthsm factory a force and completeness not shared by any similar establishment in the world. These constant efforts to perfect in all ways, and by all means, both the machinery of the factory and the construction of our watches, have placed within onr means the production of a greater variety in grade and finish than other American makers have attempted. In the manufacture of very fine watches we have no competitor in the United States, and only very few in Europe. The various styles of these watches have undergone the severest trials in the service of Railway Engineers, Conductors and Expressmen, the most exacting class of Watch-wearers, and the presence of over 400,000 Waltham Watches in the pockets of the people is the best proof of the public approval, and must be accepted as conclusive of their superiority by discriminating Watch-buyers, especially so since the important matter of price is also very greatly in their favor, being at least twenty-five per cent, cheaper, quality for quality, than those made elsewhere in the United States. As it would be impossible to describe the peculiarities of each style in the space allotted for that purpose, buyers are referred to respectable dealers throughout the country, who will cheerfully furnish all necessary information both as to the different grades and their respective prices. The accompanying illustrations show the upper plates, sizes, and trade marks of the different styles of our manufacture, and furnish the best possible security against the sale of worthless imitations of onr watches, under the name of the genuine, In many cases the spurious watches have similar trademarks, varying the spelling slightly, but such cases cannot deceive buyers who compare trade marks with those furnished in this article. Our watches are now so favorably known, and their valqe as„ accurate timekeepers so freely acknowledged everywhere, that to pablish certificates from individual wearers would be superfluous. From the great abundance of testimony in their fovor, we select only those of a general character.

LADIES' WATCHES. Pennsylvania Railroad Co. Optics opths General Superintendent, \ Altoona, Pa., 15. b Dec., 1866. j Gentlemen :—The watches manufactured by you have been in use on this Hailroad for several years by our engine men, to whom we furniat) watches as part of our equipment. There are some Three Hundred of them carried on our Line , and we consider them Good and Reliable Time-ke-ep-ers. Indeed, I have great satisfaction in saying your Watches give us less trouble , and have worn ana do wear much longer without repairs than any watches we have ever had in use on this road. As you are aware, we formerly trusted to those of English manufacture,. Of acknowledged good reputation, but, as a class, they never keep time as correctly, nor have they done as good service as yours In these statements I am sustained by my predecessor.

Locomotlve Dep’t Western Division, I Rochester, Pec. 24, 1866. | Gbntlkmkn:— l have no hesitation In saying that I believe the great majority of locomotive engineers have found bv experience that Waltham Watches are the most satisfactory of any for their use. They run with the greatest accuracy and steadiness, notwithstanding the rough riding of an engine ; and as I have never known one to wear out, they must be durable. I hope to see the time when railway companies will generally adopt your watches, and famish them to all engineers and conductors. In my opinion it would greatly tend to promote regularity and safety. Yours respectfully. CHARLES WILSON, G Chief Engineer. Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers American Watch Comnany.

B. B. Robbins, Treasurer American Watch Co.: Dear Sir:—l have, at the suggestions of a number of persons, made a thorougn examination of the plan of construction adopted by your ComEany in the manufacture of watches, and have no esitatlon in pronouncing it to he simple, scientific and eminently practical. It would be very remarkable if any single watch made on this plan ' should fail to be an accurately performing timekeeper. I would about as soon expect to see the sun make a balk as to see one of your American Watches do so. Very respectfully, NORMAN WIARD, Mechanical Engineer an 1 Practical Machinist. “We have had one 01 the works of this Com- ! pany In a case for some considerable time, and, comnaring them with former first-class works of different manufacture possessed by us, (hey have established, IB Our opinion, their superiority over any ever introduced for correctness as timepieces.”—JVina Tori World. “ The beauty, the precision, the greater cheapness, the uniform excellence of the watch, constructed by machinery so exquisite that the mere soectacle of its operation Is poetic, gradually give the Waltham Watches a, public preference which shall not be deceived "—Harper't Weekly. “ This country has reason to be proud of this splendid specimen of American operative genius

.Stick to the Plow and the Plane. Don’t come to the city, my boy. Your chance, in the long run, is better where you are. Hundreds, indeed, make for tunes here, but thousands live wearisome and even suffering lives in the city. Clerks have larger salaries than young farmers, but then their expenses for boarding, ciothes, and amusements, are so much larger, that less is saved at the end ot the year. Then the temptations of the city are so strong and so constant that few young men resist them. Not many young city clerks, even if they avoid bad company, are able early in life to have a home ot their own. A young man in the country, >soon after his time becomes his own, can secure capital enough, with an ecoßeptical wife, to set up housekeeping for hmftelf, and have a quiet, comfortable, and even beautiful little home of his own. One of the wealthiest men in the vicinity of Boston, who died a few years since, said the happiest years of his life were passed when he was' gathering, very slowly, the beginnings of his fortune. When he married, he and his wife were worth, each, twenty-five cents, and they labored Jov i ugly and happily together. This was certainly a very small fortune for two to commence upon, but they were worth hundreds of thousands when they died gathered by economical labor. The writei knows an excellent young man in this city who is now nearly thirty. He has long been engaged to a young lady of fine tai enta and a good temper. It would be a great comfort to both to be married; but then, his salary, although quite- large, would not support them in the style ol life to which the young woman has been accustomed in her own home. Besides, the position of clerks is very uncertain By the failure of what was considered one of the strongest houses in the city, this youug man was thrown out of place and salary for six months. Stiek to the plow then, or to some solid, wholesome trade You will then be sure of * comfortable living. You can earlier have a home of your own, and you will be less exposed to the constant changes in business, which destroy air one blow the earnings of years. —American Agriculturist. *
