IF YOU SHOULD EVER GET MARRIED
If you should ever get married Z.rolin
I'll tell you what to do—
Go get, a little tenement,
Just big enough for two.
And one spare room for com Puny,
And one <pare bed within it—
And if you begin love's life arigbt,
You'd better thus begin.
In furniture be moderate, John,
And let the stuffed chairs wait.
One looking-glpss will do for both
Yourself and loving mate.
And Brussels, too, and other things
Which make a tine appearance,
If you can better anord it, they
Will look better a year hence.
Some think they roust have pictures, John,
Superb and costly, too.
Your wile will be a picture, John,
Let that suffice for you.
Remember what, the wise man said,
A tent and love within it
Is better than a splendid house,
With bickerings every La-dilute.
And one word as to cooking, John—
Your wife can do tile best ;
For love, to make Lie biscuit rise,
Is better far than yeast.
No matter if each any you don't
Bring turkey to your table—
'Twill relish better, by and by,
When you are better able.
For all you buy pay money, John—
Money that very day ;
If you would have your life run smooth,
There is no better w•ay.
A note to pay is an ugly thing—
If thing you choose to call it.
When it hangs o'er a man who has
No money in his wallet.
And now, when you are married, John,
Don't try to ape the rich ;
It took them many a toilsome year
To gain their envied niche.
And if you should gain the summit, John,
Look well to your beginning,
And then you all you win repay,
The toil and care of winning,

" You will meet Walter Sutton at the
Roses. Enter into no rivalry with him."
This was the postscript to my father's
letter, and the one cloud in the bright ho
rizon of my hopes.
I was twenty-three years old, just re
leased from college, a little pale and weary
with study, and bound for that paradise
of the earth, my widowed sister Marga
ret's home—the Roses. I was to spend the
summer with - Mag. and the prospect had
been one of intimate delight. But now I
heard that Sutton was there.
This Walter Sutton was a younger
brother of Mag's deceased husband, a mil
lionaire's son, and Parisian by education.
At twenty he had been familiar with
the Mainlle. At twenty-six he was pro
nounced the handsomest and most dissi
pated man in London, and now, a yeas
later, I was to have his companionship
for the summer, at the house of my sister
Mrs. Margaret Sutton. •
The man always had fascination for me,
while I despised him. His Appollian
beauty, his knowledge of the world, his
coolness, daring and fearlessness, I re
garded with wonder. But I had sense
enough to weigh these against his cynic
ism. his blackened reputation, and his
rakish manner, which told his talc of un
happiness, and to keep quietly on my way,
unenvious of his success. At the time I
went to the Roses I was, moreover, less
liable to impure influences, for I had just
ost the noblest and dearest of mothers.
It is true I did not relish meeting Wal-
ter Sutton, but I was not one to borrow
trouble. It was June weather; "green
and blue were glad together," and I was
free. My horse arched his beautiful neck
and trotted slowly and proudly along the
road, while I looked across the sunny
fields, watching for the first sign of my
sister's mansion—trees rustling, flowers
blooming, birds singing around me.
Suddenly I saw a carriage whirling in
advance of me. I recognized the man on
the box, and spurred forward.
I gained it. The stately lady within it
looked up, threw aside her sable veil, and
cried, Lewis!
"Are you going home, Maggie?"
"Directly."
"1 am with you."
At that moment I became conscious of
the earnest gaze of a pair of golden brown
eyes. My sister was not alone in the car
riage. A young girl with her lap full of
water lilies, and a large straw hat shad
ing the fairest and lovliest of faces, sat
beside her. We looked inquiringly at
each other; but once, my admirable sister
forgot the demands of society. In her
pleasure at seeing me she ounnitted the
introduction, and leaning from her seat
she questioned me eagerly regarding oc
currences at home. She had not been
there since my mother's funeral had tak
en place in the winter.
Suddenly a light phaeton whirled by us,
the driver of which lifted his hat as he
Passed, giving a piercing look into the
carriage. I followed it, and I fancied I
saw the yonng girl's hand quivering
among the lilies in her lap.
"You know Walter is with us, Lewis?"
remarked :Margaret, a little cloud on her
face.
"Yes, be is looking well."
"He always looks well," said Mag, sig
nificantly.
We were entering the avenue. Two
splendid rose trees guarded the gate.
The rustic trellises held au arch of blos
soming vines above their heads. I ques
tioned Mag as to the garden.
"My gardeners say that they have been
very successful this year. I think I appre
ciate the roses more than usual this year,
for Alice enjoys them so much."
My sister turned as she spoke, with a
fond smile for the girl at her side, and
then remembered to say, "Alice this is
my brother Lewis. Mr. Yener, Miss
Lee."
So those golden brown eyes came up to
mine again, and my look of admiration
was rewarded with a smile, so sweet that
I then and there fell in love with its
owner.
We drove through clouds of perfume to
the door. There were ladies and gentle
men upon the broad terrace.
"I have other guests,
MEM
I had met some of them before—all nice
people. The summer promises to be gay.
I knew that I was very happy that even
ing singing with Alice Lee. But there
was an evil influence in the house. I
soon felt it. Sutton's wealth and extrav
agance bred a spirit of envy among the
~',oetr~.
I=l
DARED AND DEFEATED
' said Margaret
young men. Ms sneering smile blighted
our pure and simple pleasures, and it ex
asperated the masculine portion of the
company to observe the influence this Me
phistophiles had over the beautiful, inno
cent, romantic girls whom they loved.
There were those of the men whom he se
duced at the start. They copied his vices
in less than three weeks. Then followed
dissatisfaction and heart-ache among men
and women.
But I, who from the first declined to
play cards and drink in Sutton's room,
felt uncontaminated, and free to seek
that priceless treasure in life, a pure wo
man's love.
I tried to please Alice Lee, and suc
ceeded. In July we were engaged. And
then I just began to understand how good
and sweet my darling «•as. I remember
that I came home from fishing one day.
with a face nearly blistered by the sun,
Alice in her cool white dress, with violet
ribbon at the throat, peeped out the door
at me as I came up the garden where I
had delivered the spoils of the day into
the hands of Mag's cook, and held up her
pretty hands in mock horror. In truth,
I was something of a spectacle, with my
white suit illuminated with the juice of
strawberries—the pantaloons thrust into
the legs of muddy boots—plentifully be
sprinkled with dust of country roads, and
fiercely sunburnt. But I had gone all
day, and Alice made up a face to kiss me.
No, said I, " I will excuse you, since I
have a blistered nose, and I am covered
with dust."
I was quite in earnest, and tried to hold
her off, fearing her delicate dress would
get soiled if she touched me; but sho won
her way to my breast, rubbed a little place
clean on my forehead with her embroid
ered handkerchief, kissed the spot, and
laughed in my eyes.
"Dear Lewis," she said, "It is you, and
I'm not afraid of dirt that will wash off."
The merriment softened in her lovely
face.
"Lewis," she said softly, "don't think
I love you for your clothes, or your com
plexion, or whiskers, which all the girls
admire; but because you are good and
true, and I feel that I can trustyon. Do
you know what made me love you at
iirst?"
I shook my head.
"Because. all Sutton's wiles to draw
, on over to his side, failed. You admire
ionesty and purity, and have maintained
them so nobly, that I honor and admire
you. If you were a blacksmith, I'd mar
ry you and live in a hovel.
And with her beautiful eyes sparkling
with tears, my darling hugged me, and
then pushed me off, and then ran away
to hide how she was crying.
Blissfully happy I stumbled up stairs,
plunged into a bath, and divested myself
of all stains of earth. But when I went
into my dressing room, I perceived the
perfume of Sutton's cigars. They were of
a peculiaribrand, anti no one smoked them
but himself. He was sitting in the south
portion, close to the door where I had
met Alice. How long had he been there?
lly hand trembled as I brushed my hair.
Should I have been ashamed of it ?
think not. Sutton had a reputation of
taking horrible revenges, and I had so
much to lose.
But after a moment, I braced myself
mentally and physically, and sat down to
re - al. I was too tired to go down stairs.
But the fumes of that cigar seemed
to have got into my head ; the page
was hazy and indistinct ; I could see
nothing so plainly as Sutton's Greek pro
file and hyacinthine hair ; and suspecting
I was ill, I at length threw down the vol
ume, and went to bed by starlight.
I was ill for a fortnight with a low ner
vous fever. My valet took me in charge,
but Alice came in every day with Mar
garet,and did the more good with ten
minutes petting, than Eu gene's most pa
tient attention accomplished thew holeday.
She kept flowers at my bedside,and stretch
ed proprieties to the utmost to see me.—
At first her smiling eyes by my pillow
were delicious ; but one day I saw she re
garded me in a trroubled, wistful way,
and afterwards I discovered that she was
growing pale.
"What is the matter, tell me, pet," I
said.
"Oh, you get well so slowly," she said,
t transient flush on her delicate cheek.
I did not dream what persecution she
was undergoing while I lay there, but she
would not worry me with any complaints;
brave, faithful, lovely little heart.
I was nearly well at last—sat up all
day in my room, and sent word to my
friends below that I would be with them
the following day.
At midnight the radiance of the moon
light awoke tile from a deep sleep. I could
never sleep in a room flooded with the
light of the moon. I arose, threw on my
dressing gown and was preparing to close
the shutters, when I distinctly perceived
the pungent odor of chloroform.
Now if I had been in the body of
the house, I should have decided
that seine unfortunate person among its
inmates had experienced a midnight at
tack of toothache, but there were no
chambers in the south wing but Alice
Lee's and mine. Every pearly tooth in
her rosy mouth was perfectly sound, I
knew—so I was puzzled. The next reve
lation was the propinquity of a horse's
neigh.
The horses belonging to the house were
or ought to have been at a distance from
the house in a well-locked stable. This
horse—nay, two of them, and an elegant
plifeton, I could see at the front gate. At
first I did not recognize the equipage. But
I was impressed to believe there was some
thing wrong. A lark of Sutton's set, I
described it to be, when I at length recog
nized the carriage. I dressed and set
down at the window, watching the horses
tossing their heads under the larches,their
silver trapings glittering in the moon-
Suddenly Sutton went walking rapidly
down the walk bearing something in his
arms, wrapped in a cloak. It might have
been the figure of a corpse for any life or
motion it appeared to have. He sprung
into the carriage, placed himself so as to
support his burden, gathered up the reins
and whirled rapidly away.
The instant he was gone, a horrible sus-
picion broke over me. T spang up and
rushed down stairs. The chamber in
which Alice slept was full of the scent of
chloroform. the window was open, and a
long glass door leading directly into the
garden. There was chloroform among
the roses. Alice was not there.
If an oath ever escaped my lips it (lid
then. sever thinking to alarm the house
I rushed into the stable, expecting to find
the hostler awake. But no—the man was
sleeping soundly in his loft. Sutton's
horses had not been stabled that night,
and only violent beleaguement brought
him down. Bridling the fleetest and
fiercest horse in the stable, I sprang bare
back upon him, and tore out upon the
The long road leading over the h
stretched white and empty before me, but
by that way he must have gone.
My noble black flew after, snorting and
striking fire from the stones.
The birds were twittering all along the
way. I noticed that, and knew I could
not be far behind him. Suddenly I heard
the click of a carriage wheel. The next
moment I pulled up, for the road divert
ed ; one path lay over a steep hill, the
other entered the woods.
I was close upon him ; I was sure of
that, but I could not decide whether he
had gone over the hill, or entered the
woods, which looked dark and murderous
enough. If I made a mistake he would
escape. Just then I heard a cry—a wo
man's piercing shriek. My heart leaped
up ; I plunged into the woods. That was
his way.
It was narrow and difficult, and I knew
he bad taken it in hope to escape me.—
He roust have heard the thunder of my
horse's hoofs behind in the road. We
bounded under the boughs. Soon I saw
the carriage ahead. It rolled along,rapid
ly along, yet swayed heavily on its springs
as if badly driven.
I shouted "stop
The next moment a pistol shot whiz
zed by me. I could make out the figure
of Sutton standing in the carriage, for a
moment. In my reckless speed the bough
of a tree struck me in the face. But I
heeded nothing until I was beside the
plueton. Sutton was not in it, but my
darling, all wild and white, stretched out
her hands to me. My horse, in spite of
speed, was manageable. I galloped close
to their heads and contrived to stop the
flying bays.
"Where is Sutton ?" I asked.
"lie fell or sprang out. I do not know
which. Oh, Lewis save me from him !"
"You have nothing to fear now," I
answered. "My darling be brave."
Though momentarily expecting a ball
through my head, I fastened my horse to
the back of the carriage, got in, and
turned the heads of the horses. They
were all white with foam, but obeyed the
rein without excitement. I wrapped
Alice more carefully in the cloak, and
guided swiftly toward home.
Suddenly the bays swerved, and seemed
to leap over some object in the road, and
instantly the carriage passed over some
obstruction. Alice's wild eyes flashed
their terror into mine ; a sickening
thought passed over me. Reining in the
horses I leaped out of the vehicle, and re
treated my way for a few steps. Some
t'iing lay dark among the leaves. It was
the corpse of a dead man—the dead body
of Walter Sutton.
He had been flung from the carriage.
It is not probable that lie attempted to
escape, for he was heavily armed, and
would have sooner taken my life than
been defeated.
lle had probably driven over a stump
or log, and been thrown to the ground,
and I had ridden over him twice. There
was a hoof mark on his forehead, and the
wheels passed directly over his breast.—
But that fine, scornful smile was on his
lips, as I gazed at the dead face in the
moonlight, as if, even in death, he cher
ished his revenge, and was yet confident
of encompassing it. But the abduction
which he had dared, he had been defeated
in, and happy in our marriage, Alice and
I had no fear of the dead.
Seeping the Pores Open
The importance of the breathing func
tion of the skin can be easily shown by
experiment for if we varnish over the skin
the subject so varnished often dies of
nothing more or less than suffocation. In
sects breathe entirely through their skin.
The skin does about one-thirtieth of the
work similar to that preformed by the
lungs, and in disease of the latter it is
very likely much more active in purify
ing the blood. Then the skin carries off
by the sweat much solid matter that
would be, if retained in the body, every
injurious.
tinder ordinary circumstances, about a
pound and a half of sweat is given off by
a man in a day. The body is also kept at
proper temperature by the evaporation of
sweat; hence the importance of keeping
the skin in order that nature may regu
late the heat of the body. Inattention to
these points gives rise to various disor
ders of the system, especially colds,
coughs and the like.
The fluid which is sweated out of the
body conies from the blood-vessels in the
deeper part of the skin. A word more
about the work of the little fatty glands,
and this subject may be left-
These little structures give exit to fatty
matter, that by inducing a slightly greasy
state of skin, prevents too great evapora
tion; it acts as a protection to the skin
against irritants and it also carries off
certain fatty acids from the body. In an
irritative skin these glands get choked
up by the retained fatty matter, and we
then have pimples, as about the face.—

Some Prussian huzzars entered the house
immediately after seeing what had hap
pened, dragged the old woman, who was
quite seventy years old, into the garden
and there literally tramped her to death
with their boots and spurs, after which
they buried her then and there. I went
to the spot myself, and heard the story
confirmed by an official of the post office,
who had refused to believe it, but found
it was true on digging up the mutilated
corpse. Another woman, who was caught
cutting off a dying man's finger in order
to take his ring, was tied to a cart and
dragged along till she died."

UNITED STATES WATCH COMPANY.-
GILES, WALES, & CO.
It i with more than ordinary pleasure
that we devote ourselves to this sketch of
one of the most enterprising firms that this
country can boast, and, as individuals,thoy
are entitled to the thanks of the whole
country for the locating and perfecting of
an establishment that entirely relieves us
of the necessity of sending to Europe to
possess a time-piece, which, when obtained
is oftentimes inaccurate, or in some other
particular defective. This has been done
away with however, and through the efforts
of the senior member, F. A. Giles. Esq., the
name of the firm and the American mann
hits urer has been placed in a higher niche,
and has received thi . i highest possible hon
ors, not only from the appreciative of this
country, but from the skillful and ingeni
ous of all classes and from all parts of the
world. It will ba a matter of surprise to
many when we inform them that F. A.
Giles, E.g., the bead and trout of this mon
ster institution, is a young man, only 33
years of age, and yet is the contr, fling
mind—the planner, the inventor, the origi
nator, and completer of one of the grandest
enterprises ever conceived in this our time.
When it is considered that Mr. Giles had
none of the advantages of wealth or influ
ence to assist him in the furtherance of his
schemes but his own indomitable will, the
brilliant success he has achieved well de
serves the plaudits he has received, and
which the world is always ready to bestow
on the man who is hold and honest enough
to devote his life to the interests and well
being of all who surround or may be
brought in contact with him.
Mr. Giles spent several years as a sales
mini in the employ of Platt Bro., where
ho projected and founded the present house
of Giles, Wales, ft: CO., embracing W. A.
Wales, ENg. (who at that time had charge
of the New York office of Messrs. Rogers,
Smith, ft Co.), his brother-in-law, U. C. F.
Wright Esq. It was at this juncture that
lie conceived the idea of making a.atches by
machinery, and organized the now justly
celebrated United States Watch Co., and
the Marion building Co., with a view not
only to provide houses for the families of
the operatives, but, by purchasing and im
proving a very large tract of lam& to reap
the benefit of the great increase in the value
of real estate caused by building these ex
tensive works thereon.
Mr. Giles being left an orphan at the age
of eight years, and being the oldest male
member of a family of seven children, it
become incumbent on him, with his elder
sister, to provide for and to superintend the
education of the rest. Feeling his respon
sibilities as a son, and a brother, be deter
mined on learning the manufacturing of
watch-work, with the idea. at some future
day, of controlling his destinies of a watch
manufactory. After perfecting his mechan
ical studies and starting business in this
city, he made a trip to Europe, and there
laid the foundation for the furtherance of
his early-laid plans. There are few men
possessing the capabilities of Mr. F. A.
Giles as a business titan ; he wields the vast
interests and details of this establishment
with perfect ease, and being practical in
every department, lie watches closely and
jealously guards the utmost minutia, of the
business, so that at all times the public can
feel safe, and the firm more than proud of
the estimation so justly placed by the world
at large on the watches manufactured by
them.
W. A. Wales, Esq., is one of those gen
tlemen who, once met, is not easily forgot
ten. Having experienced all the disadvan
tages possible in his early efforts to rise, he
is always ready to cheer and encourage the
young man striving to win himself position
Active of limb and vigorous of intellect, ho
has exerted both mind and body to the fur
therance of any and every plan suggested
for the good and interest of the business,
and, in so doing, has rendered the associa
tion one of pleasure as well as profit to all
concerned.
In G. C. F. Wright, Esq.,the junior mem
ber of the firm, we find all the elements of
the true business man. Bold and determin
ed in the prosecution of trade, genial, gene
rous, and decided in character, he has won
himself a host of friends, both in active and
private life. Those coming under his im
mediate control are always subjects of his
personal interest, while all with whom he
.13 brought in contact exclaim: "It is gooct
[WHOLE NUMBER, 20,861.
to know him." Each and all of the partners
working in a common cause, beaH tg with
each other's peculiarities, and willing at
all times to accept the rulings of the seni
or member F. A, Giles, they have, through
his indefatigable labors carved themselves
out a name that will shine brighter and
brighter as the beauties of American mech
anism are held up for general admiration
by these worthy gentlemen.
TICE FACTORY.
There is no doubt about this being the
largest as well as the model manufactory in
the world. It is located at Marion, New
Jersey, only fi ftcen minutes distant from
New York, and is on the line of the New
Jersey, railroad. Tile principal building is
253 feet in length, is built almost entirely of
iron and glass, and is remarkable in its
construction in point of light and ventila
tion. The grounds of the establishment
comprise three or more acres, are beautiful-
ly laid out, and, being surrounded by a
unique iron fence, it has more the appear
ance of a private palace than a hive of in
dustry in which are employed more than
four hundred souls, turning out about one
hundred of the company's celebrated
watches daily.
Thegreat care exhibited by this company
for the comfort of their employees is a cred
it to them, and is pro-eminently ahead of
any other manufactory in this country in
his particular. The building is in the form
of a T, the design of which excites the ad
miration of all who are so fortunate as to
see it, and the interior arrangements are
perfect for the convenience and comfort of
all concerned. Sets of pipes, of which there
are a number arranged throughout the
building, are used respectively for light,
heat and the supplying of water, Great
care has been exercised in guarding argainst
accident by fire, every room and hallway
being supplied with fire hose, so that every
floor can be drenched almost immediately,
if necessary. The toilet arrangements for
the vast number of employes are perfect •
hot and cold water, with abundance ofroom
and light, serve to make this one of the
pleasantest rooms in the building, and
could be copied with advantage by many
employers throughout the county. The
sanitary arrangements are complete ; the
consequences of which are health and cheer
fulneNs expressed by every ono engaged in
the establishment.
The first floor of the centre building is
occupied by the offices, which are located
on each side of the hallway, in the centre of
the building, and by the machine shops
and forwarding room.
The basement is devoted to the engine
room, the smith's shop, hardening room.
punching room, and other portions that are
set aside for the storage of materials used
in the business. The engine used is 80
horse power, was built by the Putman Ma
chine Company of Fitchburg, ➢lass., and is
itself, a triumph of mechanical skill. The
boilers, of which there are two, are the
well-known " Harrison." On this floor the
heavy work is performed, all the parts
being wrought in shape trom the crude
materials; there is also storage for the vari
ous tools used in punching into shape all
the parts and movements of a watch
Where steel enters in the construction of a
watch, the American only is used, as that
has been found by actual test to be the only
article that can be used with any degree of
reliability, the imported article, many
Limes, having defects that condemn it en-
tirely. The only imported articles used by
TE{E UNITED STATES WATCII COMPANY are
the precious stones for jeweling the move
ments and the enano-1 used in making the
dials. In the room set aside for the use of
mechanics in the construction of machinery
used in the establishment, there is a corps
of some 25 men, whose sole business is to
construct and keep iu repair the various
machines thi oughout the building, of which
there are something like 300, and, with but
few exceptions, not two alike, each one of
which has been designed and adapted for
an especial purpose. Some of the machines
are novelties, performing as they do vari
ous portions of the work. The duties of
one particular machine used are various,
yet, In its performance of them all, it is
faultless. On this machine are made the
steady-pins of the watch: the wire, being
fed in the machine, it is cut off, headed, the
thread cut, and screwed in its position sim -
ultaneously ; while in some other cases, so
minute is the work, and so elaborately
must it be performed, that a dozen ma
chine: aid iu its completion.
In the centre of the second floor the office
of the superintendent is situated, and in
which the private drawings are kept. The
drawings of all tarts of the movements are
on an enlarged scale, and upon which are
marked the measurements of the private
standard gvnu e that is used by this com
pany. So accurate is this machine that the
very smallest possible fraction of difference
can he divined, even to the twenty-fifth
thousandth part of an Inch. To make this
Inure rlitin, and to sho•.v the exactness re
quired on the part of every moment, we
will say that the finest hair from the human
head will show by this unerring finger a
difference of one-half inch.
The process of making the compensating
balances is one of interest ; they are made
f brass and steel, with gold screws, and
to complete them requires the services of
many experts before they can be finished.
The operation of making:and polishing the
pallet jewels, scotch are of flue ruby, is one
of great delicacy, giving, as they do with
their perfect angles, impulse through tho
fork to the vibrations of the baton :a. When
w•e consider that it takes fully one hundred
thousand of these to weigh one pound, or
more than eight thousand to a single ounce,
we are indeed at fault whether to admire
the perfection of the work or applaud the
genius who conceived the manner in which
it is done. Impossible as this statement
may seem to the uninitiated, there are still
greater wonders performed. Steel screws,
perfect in every particular—head, slot and
thread—yet so small that it takes more than
five hundred thousand of them to weigh a
pound, or more than forty thousand to a
single ounce! and to he seen to advantage
the eye must be aided. by a magnifying
glass of some power.
The facility with which the precious
stories are cut up and worked Is astonish
ing, when we consider their extreme hard-
ness and brittle nature ; but Ingenuity has
again displayed itself anti been brought to
bear especially upon this point, and. every
obstacle overcome, so that the hardest stone
is worked with comparative ease. Among
the stones used for jeweling purposes are
be ruby, sapphire, Spanish topaz, garnet,
chrysolite, and aqua-znairne, the more val
uable of which are used in the higher grade
of watch. The process of working these
gems is one requiring great care, and they
undergo many operations before they are
brought to an acceptable condition. To
make the roller jewels, working in the slot
of the fork, the rough stone is first sawn
into slsbs, after which it is sawn into
squares; they are then taken to the lathe
and turned with diamond-pointed tools,
then polished by means of diamond pow
der, and when completed the subject of all
this labor is but one-sixteenth of an Inch
in length, and about the thickness of a very
ne needle.
