How Watch Cases are Mado.
A plato of solid gold 14 2-10 karats
fine is soldered on each side of u plutu of
hard nickel composition metal, and the
thrco are then passed between polished
bteel rollers. From this plate the various
parts of the cases backs, centers, buzels,ctc.
arc cut and shaped by dies and formers.
Tho gold is thick enough to admit of all
kinds of chasing, engraving, and engine
turning. The composition metal gives it
needed ttrength, tliffness and solidity, whilo
the written guarantee of tho manufacturers
trarranft'nj each case to wear treaty years
proves that it contains all the gold that
can possibly bo needed. This guarantee
is given from actual result!, as many of
these cases have been worn perfectly smooth
by years of use without wearing through

old Ago came down tho Bleeps of years,
Ilencatli life's burden bending j
With tottering steps he fecblv trod,
And breathing sighs and prayers to do ,
He met with Youth nsceudlng.
Tho one with solemn thoughtful nlr,
Moved onward slow and still
And ono no'er stopp'd or looked behind,
Hut pressing forward llko tbo wind,
Flow snlttly upthobllL
Ah I wliltliertlost thou bend thy courso ?
Said ho whoso head was hoiry
I go, said Youth to yonder height,
Whero such flno prospects cheer tho sight,
To manhood, wealth and glory.
Ho not deceived, Old Ago replied,
In vain win bo thy tolling ;
I long have chas'd thoso distant Joys
Oft grasp'd them-but the nectlng toys
Wero backward still recoiling,
I wnnder'd on through many n scene,
l'ass'd grotto's groves and bowers j
Somo b'lssful object still In view,
I gnthcr'd gemsot brightest hue
And pluck'd tho fairest flowers :
Hut nh I thoso nowcrs all faded soon
And left them In despair j
And riches gems were scircely mine,
llefore they all began to shine,
And vanish 'J Into nlr.
Youth rals'd liU eyes nnl look'd ahead,
Tho prospect still was bright
I must go on prevent mo not,
For yonder Is a sunny spot,
Which promises delight.
Youth said no more, but onward went,
His favorlto courso to keep i
And hopo still sparkling from his eyes,
Towards yon sunny spot he lllcs,
And struggles up tho bteep.

THE HAUNTED 00RRID0B.
"I don't beliuvu a word of it!'' said
Aunt Rebecca.
Tho wine-like irlow of sunset yet il
lumined the gre.'it. bay window ; but
the rest of tho nnartmont .vas alroadv
enshrouded in the cray shadows of twi-
iigni', in wnusu iiiisiy indistinctness uiu
lnijo chairs of cawed oak looked like
muantic monsters from some foreicn
shore. I'i'om tlie walls trownud down
dark old family portrait!, and the
Lrimoti hanging above tho arched
doors waved restlessly bank and forth
in tho draughts of wind that swept
tlirougn tho vast corridor.
"1 don t believe a word of it I re
peated Aunt Rebecca, with more em
phasis than before. "A ghost story,
indeed 1''
"Tell inu about it, Violet," said 11a
zlewtiod, to whom the deep bay win
dow, with its fur-off prospect of snowy
lulls, Veiled in gathering twilight, to
say nothiiiK ot pretty Violet Oniios
close vicinage, were inhnitely more at
tractive than the more modern regions
ot Alnwick i'lace.
"It is not much of a story," said
Violet, flushing up to her very eye
lashes at the sound of her own soft
voicv, '-only years ato. long before my
great-grandpa built this house, the site
was all one unbroken wood, and there
was a tradition that a beautiful ijirl
was murdered by her lover. Her
grave, they sav, was beneath tho foun
dation of the house ; but I scarcely
credit tins part of the legend."
"Of courso not," interrupted Miss
Rebecca, with a toss of her false curls.
'I have no patience with the relics of
old superstition.
"What are you looking for, aunt 1
Have vou dropped anything 'i Shall I
call for Karris to bring a candle?"
asked Violet, a moment afterwards
coming to her aunt's ide.
"Nothing, nothing," said Miss Re
becca, with a little embarrassment
her voice. "Come don't stay here
any longer in tho biting cold, unless
you both want a week's medicine and
doctors visits.
"It is not cold. Aunt Rebecca,'
pleaded Violet, "and the starlight is so
beautiful on the stone pavement. Just
let us wait until that fiery planet
mounts a little highei.
But a peremptory summons from
Colonel Ormo himself, who had just
waked Irom a comfortable nap besid
the glowing lire in the library, to a
sort of vague wonder ns to "where Re
becca and the young people could pos
sibly be," speedily settled the matter.
"Never mind, Violet," whispered
Uharles llazlewood ; "by and by when
your father has gone to his room and
Aunt Rebecca is busy with her curl

Violet gave him an arch glance as
sho tripped after Aunt Rebecca into
tho hall which led to Colonel Orine's
brilliantly-lighted library.
"I wish Captain Hazlowocd wouldn'i
icmain out there," said Aunt Rebecca
anxiously. "He will catch his detitl
of cold j and, besides "
"Resides what, Aunt Rebecca!"
"Violet," said tho maiden lady, "I
wish you would go down and see if
tho housekeeper lias prepared that
posset for my sore throat, that's a
good girl. I think I shall go to bod.

recess of a gigantio bay window.neaily
hidden by tho curtains, the laded
splendor of whoso tarnished embroid
cry carried tho mind unconsciously a
ceutury backward on tho stream of
time. But then Charles Hazel wood
was in love.
Tho tall, old-fashioned clock in the
hall was striking 12, and the colony of

Probably some Kiioh consciousness

for sho shuttled with accelerated rauld

"I am sure I dropped them some

in front of tho bay window. "How

But I don't understand what you

nt this time of night, interrupted Col
onel Orme, staring at his sister as if
not quite certain whether tli's were an
actual occurrence in real life or merely
a fragmentary part ot his last dream
"Well, it you must know,' said Miss
Kebccca, with a littlo hysteric sob, "1

"No, papa," filtered Violet, "but"
"Suppose wo three adiuurii into the

"And I would liko to know what htr

tho young ollicer, laughingly, detain

for the acts of its agents under tho

On ono of tho darkest and stormiest
nights of the recent unusual winter, tho
express on ono of the leading New
York railroads was moving westward
from Albany. The engines headlight
throw a strong reflection in ndvaticc,
but tho storm was so blinding it was
almost impossiblo to distinguish any
thing oven at a short distance Under
such ciroumBlances instinct necessarily
tnkes tho place of sight. All seemed
to bo going well, when in an instant,
tho engineer reversed his engine, ap
plied tho air brakes, and came to a full
stop. Why ho did so he could not tell
any more than any of us can account
for tho dread of coming disaster and
death, nnd to the wondering inquiry of
the fireman he simply said j "I feel
that something's wroog." Seizing a
lantern ho swung himself down from
the cab and went forward to investi
gate. Everything appeared lo bo right,
and ho was about to return to bis
engine when ids cyo caught eight of a
pcouliar appearance nt the joint of the
rail next to him. Brushing the accu
mulated snow away, ho looked n mora
ont, and then uttered an exclamation
of horror. Tho rails on both sides had
been unspiked and would havo turned
over tho instant tho engine touched
them. What inspired this attempt at
train-wrecking is unknown, but it was
presumed the confederates of somo
prisoners who were on tho train hoped,
in the confusion of nn accident, to
deliver their friends.
Engineer John Donalioe, of Albany,

Ihe salvation of tho train when asked
by tho writer why lie stepped his en
gine, sniu :
"1 can't tell why. 1 only know 1 felt
something was wrong."
"Do you have these feelings often
when upon tho road ?" continued tho
writer.
"No, very seldom, although for tho
past twenty years I havo been in a con
dition to feci apprehension nt almost
anything."
"How is that ?
"Why, I hayo been tho victim of
ono ot the worst cases ot dyspepsia
ever known. I have not been confined
to ray bed, as like thousands of others,
am compelled to work whether able
or not. Indeed, when it tirst began 1
hud only a loss of appetite, a faint feel
ing that would not go away and a bad
taste in the mouth, but I finally got
those terriblo craving and kuawing
feelings lhat m.ike life so unbearable
and are known as general debility."
"What did you do V
"I ti ii'jl physicians until I became
discouraged. I gave eight different
ones fair tests, but none of them bene
fitted mo. 1 then tiled proprietary
medicines, but they failed, likewise. It
looked pretty daik for ine so far as
any more peace or enjoyment in this
world were concerned and I became
terribly discouraged."
"You certainly do n
ot look that way
now. '
"Oh, no, indeed, I am in pel feet
health now," was the reply "and I pio
jioso to eontinuu so. My nervousness
is entirely gene ; I can sleep nights ,
tho aching numbness has disappeaied ;
the pale, sickly appearance has given
placo to the color of health, and I have
readily put ou flesh. This is what has
been accomplished by means of War

ter of a century 1 believe all sufforing

using tho same great remedy."
