Feeling the urgent necessity of suppling the large portion of our:population' who Still' remain destitute, it has vigorously’ prosecuted' its ; system -of Colportage, which the experiencePf nineteen years has demon strated to be eminently adapted to the wants of the land. It.haa had in commission, for the whole or part of the,year, ,self-denying, faithful . .colporteurs, 170 of whom were students laboring in their,vacations, who have gone to the homes of, the people in nearly, every state and territory, gaining aepess by .their Christ-like spirit, and the catholic character of the publications. Of these, .223 labored in the northern,' 261 in the south ern, Aqd ,152 in the western/states, and' 13 ,in other fields; 94 were engaged among the Germans, Swedes, Norwegians, Danes,' HollandersjWelsh, French, and Indians. They visited 629,952 families, with over two thirds 'of whom they conversed on personal religion, or prayed: the whole number of such Visits- made during the nineteen yearajpf colportage, has been nearly eight millions. They also found 96,794 families who neglect the preached gospel, 43,478 families destitute of all re ligious books but the Bible,’ and 28,740 who had not the word of God, besides 47,502 families of Roman Catholics.

Willis’ Visit to the Watoh Factory of the American* Watch Company.— Novelties in mechanism have always been most interesting to me —seeming, ns it were, supernatural and sudden ap paritions of things hitherto deemed impossible—l accepted very gladly qjji .Invitation to go where I might see watches made by machinery. How a watch should' be made.;at all, is mystery enough; but,' that this ultimatum of human ingenuity in hand labor should be retfheed *to mechanism, so that a hundred watches cjan'be made with the thought and labor hitherto expanded upon one, was a marvel worth making sure of haying seen on this: planet being very iikely.to be “a dropped stitch” (like an antediluvian lost art) in a world to come. If asked, therefore, at some scientific party in the Evening Star (our next planet, the poets tell us,) whether' I have ever been to Waltham; I am happy to have it to say that I visited the Watch-Factory, there, in one of the lasjj i years of my previous, existence. I may add, for a side ear (a fact about which there is likely to he a sidereal curiosity, I think,) that Governor Banks conies from the same place. : t From Boston to Waltham, by railroad, is but the taking oP a seat for a few minutesand our guide, Mr. llohbins, (one of the Company of Proprietors; to ..whose eofirageous faith and persevering make-work activeneas, much of the success pf the enterprise is attributed,) soon opened the door for us at the shop 6f the Time-smiths. Three of our party were bro ther-artificers, Mr. Stuart,. Mjr| Tilton, and myself, being “ manufacturers of public opinion," and the fourth w& a lady, not altogether of an unsympathetic profession, Miss Booth, the ladv-historiah of; the “City of New York." To the:worthrwhile-ativeoess of so intelligent a group of companions, I owed the obliging.partieularity with which the riddles of . me chanism were unravelled to us. It is a curious necessity of a watch-factory that it should form a part of a beautiful landscape—a se cluded plabe, a moist soil, or the bank of a river, be ing requisite to its operations. The originaLaite .of the factory, at Roxbury, was abandoned, because the lightjmd dußty character of the soiland the degree j to which the atmosphere was charged with dust by the winds and the industrial movements of the neigh borhood, materially interfered with the nicety of the work. Hence was chosen the present beautiful hill side on a bend of the Charles river, where the hun dred or two of male and female operatives, as they sit at their benches, regulating the different move ments of the machinery, can look out of the windows before them, upon bits of river scenery that would enchant an artist. It. is another poetic peculiarity of: watch-making {at Waltham, at least,) that the more delicate finger ing of woman is found to Work best at it. Of the large* number of■ persons employed in the factory; more, than half, if I observed rightly, were of the sisterhood left idle by the sewing machine—-a happy compensation of Providence! Gradually, in this way, probably, the in-dour employment of all trades and vocations that do not require masculine strength, will be 1 given l over to woman. v The Watch-Factory is of brick, two ■ stories in height, ;and enclosing a quadrangular court;: and, along the inner and outer windows; stari.d the work-benches iit which are seated the soo> cessions of operatives—each’of the one hundred find twenty parts of the watch requiring separate manu facture and adjustment. What impressed me par ticularly, as'l walked through these long galleries -of seated and patient artificers, was the exceeding y delicacy and minuteness of it all—.the inevitable ma chinery accomplishing, with such powerful exactness, invisible vvondevs of transformation and construction, and human'aid seeming only needed to supply the material and measure the work, with movements of hand scarcely perceptible. The suc cessions of minute instruments were like long ranges of little ,fairies, each weaving its cobweb miracles, under a careful sentinel's superintending eye. It is .the novelty of the Waltham Factory that this is so— machinery doing the hundred little dexterities which have hitherto been’- done only by the variable hand of the workman; With the machinery once regula ted, therefore, any number of watches of the same _ size and-battern aramade with .invariable exactness ail; equTUly wre lu I;cU p Giu,e;-wber-eas,.formerly, each watch, was only a probability by.itself. . ; Thp minuteness of, very essential parts of the watch . astopishes ,the visitor. A small heap of grains was shown to us, looking like iron filings, or 1 grains of pepper from a pepper castor—apparently the mere dust of the "machine iwhich turned" them out—and these, .when examined with a; microscope, were seen to. be perfect screws, eaeh to be driven ,to its place with a screw-driver; It is one of the Waltham sta tistics which is worth remembering,, that “a single pound of steel, costing but fifty cents, is thus manu factured into one hundred thousand screws which are worth eleven hundred dollars.” ; The poetic part of a watch; of course, is what the truth in a woman’s;heart has been So often compared f fo—the jewel upon which, all its movements are pi voted and which knows no wearing away, or varia tion—and to. see these precious truth-jewels and their * adjustment was one of my main ’points of curiosity. The aid of the niicroscope was again to be called in, to see these—the precious 'stones, as we first saw v.tbem in the; glass phial, resembling grains of bril liant sand. They are rubies, sapphires or ebryso lites,(inferior only to the diamond in hardness, and to be drilled by the diamond’s point into pivoted reliances. The process is thus described in the ar ticle to. which I am indebted for my statistics; “The jewels are first .drilled with a diamond, and then opened out with diamond-dust, on a soft hair like iron wire, their perforation's having certain' mi -erospqpic differences. In like manner the pivots of r ,steel that are to run in these jewels,, without wear ing out in the least, must be exquisitely polished. . Batins operation their size is slightljr reduced. The jewels and pivots, after being thusfinished, are clas sified by means of- a gauge, So delioately graduated, as to detect'a difference of the ten thousandth pari o f :,anJnch. The jewels, are classified by means of the pivots, the jewels and pivots of the same number,fit exactly. The sizes of the. several pivots" ana jeWels in each watch are carefully re corded under its .number, so that if any one of either should fail- in any part of the world, by sending the number of the watch to Waltham; the part desired may be readily and cheaply replaced with unerring .certainty.” • ■ ;' ■ ... . , Of thia,, and all the other operations, too minute for detailed description—the first cutting of the stamps.and dies from sheets of brass, hardening and .Qrming the barrels and chambers, coiling and fast dining the main springs, gearing wheels and cutting - their teeth/shaping of pinions and axles, cutting of escape-wheels, burning and marking the porcelain . dials, sand final together and adjusting of the .variqusparts—thesuperintendent, Mr.Benison, dis- Cpursed t .ip us. most interestingly. .. I could not but think, as I listened to this philosopher of mechanic art, telling'us those beautiful secrets with his quiet ooncentrativeness.of voice and eye, and bis brief ex pressivelanguaga, how much botterit was than the “seeing of a play” or the reading of a novel.
