Music by T. CRAMPTON

VOICE.

1. "Dear little Fly-a-way, may I inquire,
Whither so fast you are going?
See not before you, the creek and the mire,
What if the wind should stop blowing,
You cannot curb in the windsteeds; and tho'
Firm on their necks you're now lying,
If they should pause once, away you would go
Into the mud and lie dying.

2. "Wee, winsome trouble-heart, can you not see,
Home on these windsteeds I'm going?
There to sleep sweetly, 'till Spring calls to me?
Then a fair flow'r I'll be growing,
Tho' but a weak little waif I appear,
Purposes wise I'm fulfiling,
Nothing that God rules is hopeless, my dear,
Speed then winds, blow if you're willing."]

TIME-KEEPING WATCH FOR $3.50.

THE WATERBURY WATCH.

THE WATERBURY

Time To Get Up Sister.]

A STRONG, SUBSTANTIAL ARTICLE.

A STEM-WINDER. CAN BE REGULATED PERFECTLY. RUNS FOR 28 HOURS.

KEEPS IN ORDER WELL.

This is the merchant's Watch, the farmer's Watch, the miner's Watch, the laborer's Watch, the boy's Watch, the school-girl's Watch--in fact everybody's Watch. The Waterbury Watch Company has a national reputation for making the

Best Cheap Watch in the World.

THE WATERBURY WATCH is a stem-winder, and will run 28 hours. The case is Nickel-Silver, and will always remain as bright as a new silver dollar. The Watch has a heavy beveled edge and crystal face. The works of the Watch are made with the finest automatic machinery. Every Watch is tested in varying positions and is perfect before leaving the factory. Every Watch is put up in a handsome new improved satin-lined case for safe transportation through the mails.

Teach your children to be on time. Give them a WATERBURY WATCH. No Boy or Girl should be without one.

So perfect is the machinery used in making this Watch, and so exact are all its parts, that if it needs repairs, if sent direct to the factory, the charge for actual repairs (including parts used) never exceeds 50 cents. This will explain why they are so cheap and so easily repaired.

A FEW TESTIMONIALS--THOUSANDS MORE COULD BE GIVEN.

[From Thomas A. Edison, Electrician, New York,
February 10, 1885.]

"I have used the Waterbury Watch for some time and
find that it is the only one which will keep
reasonably perfect time when used around powerful
dynamo machines."

The New York _Tribune_ says: "It is remarkable how
quickly the Waterbury Watch has stepped into popular
favor. No doubt, the secret of its instant success has
been the fact of its excellence. No amount of
advertising could push into favor a poor article. The
Waterbury Watch is good and cheap."

"I have carried a Waterbury for over a year and find
it a most excellent time-keeper. It has run beside a
$100 gold watch without showing the least
variation."--F. G. PERRY, Wakefield, R. I.

"My Waterbury after three years' trial continues to
give satisfaction, and is now going as good as when I
received it. At four o'clock daily we receive the time
over our wire, and my watch is always prompt to the
minute."--A. S. LETTS, Pennsylvania Railroad, Jersey
City.

Parson Wilder Calls on Mrs. Puffy.

By Neil Burgess.

"It did my soul good," said Mrs. Puffy, "to see old Parson Wilder come in, the dear old soul; he looked as smiling as a basket of chips, and it was a nice morning, the sun shining right into our setting-room; and, as luck would have it, I'd just got all cleaned up and had put on a clean calico and white apron, and, if I do say it, I looked as slick as a whistle; and our garden--well, you'd oughter to seen it--a mass of posies and blossoms everywhere; and as it had rained in the night everything was as fresh as a cowcumber. 'Well, well!' says the parson, 'this is a picture one could never forget,' and he looked at my floor and kitchen-table; they were both white as snow, and my milk-pans--well you could just see your face in 'em, and everything was as neat as a pink.

"I cut him a pie and got him a pitcher of milk, cause I could see he was powerful hungry, and when he got filled up he commenced: 'Cleanliness is next to Godliness; now,' says he, 'what makes this home look so bright and pure as the lily?' Says I 'It's Sapolio.'

"'How?' says he, putting his hand to his ear, 'cause he's a little deaf. 'Sapolio!' I yelled in his ear. 'No,' says he, 'no; it's virtoo, moral virtoo, that's er shining through it all,' and he kept that up till supper time, and stayed and eat a big supper (I'm afraid they ain't er feeding the old man as well up to his house as they oughter); and after he had gone hum, I couldn't help thinking, as I looked at my floor, table, pans and etceterer, that it may be moral virtoo shining through 'em, _but it takes Sapolio to fetch it out!_"

If your grocer does not keep Sapolio he can order it for you from any wholesale grocer in the United States.

What is Sapolio?

It is a solid, handsome cake of scouring soap, which has no equal for all cleaning purposes, except the laundry.

What will Sapolio do? Why, it will clean paint, make oil cloths bright. You can scour the knives and forks with it, and make the tin things shine brightly.

The wash basin, the bath tub, even the greasy kitchen sink, will be as clean as a new pin if you use SAPOLIO.

For washing the hair only the very best soap and pure water should be used.

The average soap contains too much free alkali, which draws the natural oil from the hair and scalp, and leaves the former dry and lusterless while it roughens the latter, causing scurf or dandruff.

The purity and mildness of the Ivory Soap gives it pre-eminence for cleaning the hair and scalp. It contains no free alkali, so its use insures a clean and healthy head of hair of the luster and softness of silk.

If your grocer does not keep the Ivory Soap, send six two-cent stamps, to pay the postage, to Procter & Gamble, Cincinnati, and they will send you _free_ a large cake of IVORY SOAP.]

THE FAMOUS ENGLISH

COMPLEXION SOAP.

HIS OPINION OF PEARS' SOAP

If Cleanliness is next to Godliness, Soap must be
considered as a Means of Grace and a Clergyman who
recommends moral things should be willing to recommend
Soap. I am told that my commendation of Pears' Soap
has opened for it a large sale in the United States. I
am willing to stand by every word in favor of it that
I ever uttered. A man must be fastidious indeed who is
not satisfied with it.
