BY CHARLES FENNO HOFFMAN.
We were not many—we who stood
Before the iron sleet that dsy,
Yet many a gallant spirit would
Give half his years, if he but could
Have been with us at Monterey.
Now here, now- there, the shot it hailed
In deadly drifts of fiery spray,
Yet not a single soldier quailed
When wounded comrades round them wailed,
Their dying shout at Monterey.
And on, still our column kept
Through wall of flame its withering way,
Where fell the dead, the living stept,
Still charging on the guns which swept
The slippery streets of Monterey.
The foe himself recoiled aghast,
When, striking where he strongest lay.
We swooped his flanging batteries past,
And braving full their murderous blast,
Stormed home the tutvers of Monterey.
Our banners oil these turrets wave,
And there one evening bugles play;
Where orange boughs above their grave
Keep green the memory of the brave
Who fought and fell at Monterey.
We are not many—we who press’d
Besides the brave who fell that day;
But who of us has not confessed
He’d rather share their warrior rest,
Than not have been at Monterey.
The Yumbrr Seven.
In six days creation was perfected, and the 7th
was consecrated to rest. On the 7th of the 7th
month a holy observance was ordained to the chil
dren of Israel, who fasted 7 days and remained 7
days in tents: the 7th year was directed to be a
sabbath of rest for all tilings; and at the end of 7
times? years commenced the grand Jubilee; every
7th year the land lay fallow ; every 7th year theie
was a general release from all debts, and all
bondsmen set free. From this law may have
originated the custom of binding young men to 7
years apprenticeship, and of punishing incorrigi
ble offenders by transportation for 7, twice 7, or
three times 7 years; every 7th year the law was
directed to be read to the people: Jacob served 7
years for tbe possession of Rachel, and also another
7 years; Noali had 7 days warning of the flood, and
was commanded to take the fowls of the air into
the ark by sevens, and tiie clean beasts by sevens;
the ark touched the ground on the 7th month: aud
in 7 days a drove was sent; aud again in 7 days
after. The 7 years of plenty and the 7 years of
famine were foretold in Pharaoh’s dreams, by the
7 fat and the 7 lean beasts; and the? ears of full
corn and the 7 ears of blasted corn. The young
animals were to remain with the dam 7 days and
at the close of the 7tli taken away. By the old
law man was commanded to forgive his offending
brother 7 times; but the meekness of the last
revealed religion extended his humility and for
bearance to 70 times 7 times. “If Cain shall he
revenged 7 fold, truly Lantech 70 times 7.'’ In
the destruction of Jericho, priests bore 7 trumpets
7 days; on the 7th day surrounded the walls 7
times, and after the 7th time the wall fell. Balaam
prepared 7 bullocks and 7 rams for a sacrifice; 7
of Saul’s sons were hanged to stay a famine;
Laban pursued Jacob 7 days journey; Job’s friends
sat with him 7 days and 7 nights and offerred 7
bullocks and 7 rams as an atonement for their
wickedness; David in bringing up the ark, offered
7 bullocks aud 7 rams; Elijah sent his servant 7
times to look for the cloud; Hezekiah, in cleans
ing the temple, offered 7 bullocks and 7 rams and 7
lie goats for a sin offering. The children of Israel,
when Hezekiah, took away the strang altars, kept
the feast of unleavened bread 7 days, and again
other 7 days. King Ahasuerus had 7 chamber
lains, a 7 days feast, and sent for tbe queen ou the
7th day: and iu the ?th year of his reign, she was
taken to him. Queen Esther had 7 maids to at
tend her. Solomon was 7 years building the
temple, at the dedication of which he feasted 7
days; in the tabernacle was 7 lamps; 7 days were
appointed for an atonement upon the altar, and the
priest’s sou was ordained to wear his father’s gar
ment? days; the children of Israel ate unleavened
bread 7 days; Abraham gave 7 ewe lambs to
Abimelech as a memorial fora well; Joseph mourn
ed 7 days for Jacob. The rabbins say, God em
ployed the power of answering this number to
perfect greatness of Samuel, his name answering
the value of the letters in the Hebrew word, which
signify 7-wlience Hannah, his mother, in her
thanks, says “that the barren had brought forth
7th.’’ In Scripture are enumerated 7 resurrec
tions; the widow’s son, by Elias; the Shunamite’s
son, by Elisha; the soldier who touched the bones
of the prophet; the daughter of the ruler of the
synagogue; the widow’s son of Nain; Lazarus,
and our blessed Lord. Out of Mary Magdalene
was cast 7 devils. The apostles chose 7 deacons.
Enoch, who was translated, was the 7th after
Adam, and Jesus Christ the 77th in a direct line.
Our Saviour spoke 7 times from the cross, on
which he remained 7 hours; lie appeared 7 times:
after 7 times 7 days, sent the Holy Ghost. In
the Lord’s Prayer are 7 petitions expressed in 7
times 7 words, omitting those of mere gram
matical connexion, Within this number are con
tained all the mysteries of the Apocalypse, re
vealed to the 7 churches of Asia; there appeared 7
golden-candlesticks, and 7 stars in the hand of him
that was in the midst; 7 lamps being the 7 spirits of
God. The book with 7 seals; 7 kings. 7 thunders,
7 thousand men slain. The dragon with 7 heads,
and the 7 angels bearing 7 vials of wrath. The
vision of Daniel 70 weeks. The fiery furnace was
made 7 times hotter for hhadrach, Meshach and
Abednego; Nebuchahnezzar ate the grass of the
field 7 years. The elders of Israel were 70.—
There are also numbered 7 heavens, 7 planets, 7
stars, 7 wise men, 7 champions of Christendom, 7
uutes in music,? primary colors 7 deadly sins, 7
sacraments, in the Roman Catholic Church The
7t.h son was considered as endowed with pre
eminent wisdom; the 7th son of a 7th son is still
thought by some to posssess the power of healing
diseases spontaneously. Perfection is linked to
gold 7 times purified in the fire; aud we yet say
"you frighten me out of my 7 senses.” Ancient
ly a child was not named before 7 days, not beiug
accounted fully to have life before that periodical
day. The teeth spring out in the 7th month, and
are shed, and renewed in the 7th year when in
fancy is changed into childhood. At thrice 7 years
the faculties are developed, manhood commences,
and we become legally competent to all civil acts:
at four times 7 man is in the full possession of his
strength; at five times 7 ho is fit for business of the
world; at six times 7 he becomes grave and wise,
nor never; at? times 7 he is in his apogee, and
from that time he decays. At eight times 7 he is’
in liia first climacteric; at nine times 7, or 63, he is
in his grand climacteric, or year of danger; and
ten times 7, or three score years and ten, has by
the Royal Prophet been pronounced the natural
period of human life. There weie 7 chiefs before
Thebes. The lilood was to be sprinkled 7 times
before tiie altar; Namau was to be dipped 7 times
in Jordan; ApuIcing speaks of dipping of the head
7 times in the sea for purification. In all solemn
rites of purgation, dedication and consecration,
the oil or water was 7 times sprinkled. The house
of wisdom, in Proverbs, had 7 pillars.
Gymnastic Feats In California,
Frank Wheeler, of the Pioneer Gymnasium,
worked ten consecutive hours at wliat is called in
gymnasiums a breast box. The weights which he

At the conclusion of the feat, Wheeler made a
little speecli saying that he lmd done the work,
not on a wager," hut to show the subscribers what
a man trained to gymnastic exercises could do.
He commenced work at 7 o'clock A. M., then
weighing 1754 pounds. He was fed on broiled
beef while at” work, by attendants, and drank
several glasses of champagne wine, and was oc
casionally rubbed with coarse towels. He was
stripped to the waist, and sat at his labor. At
the end of the ten hours, at 5 o’clock, he was
again weighed, and was found to weigh 1714
pounds, having lost four pounds by perspiration,
as it is supposed.
A printer named Moody, lifted 14 pound weights
27,727 times at the Plaza Gymnasium, in five
hours and a quarter, some time ago, and this last
feat seems to have originated in a desire to excel
that feat and bring up the fame of the Pioneer.
It is said Moody will now attempt to excel the
last work.
Moral Courage.—Have the courage to acknowl-

average life of man. Have the courage to make
a will, and what is more a just one Have the
courage to speak your mind when it is necessary
you should do so, and hold your tongue when it
is better you should be silent. Have the courage
to set down every penny you spend and add them
up weekly. Have the courage to trust your legr
down between the sheets in cold weather, and to
shave every day before breakfast. Have the
courage to pass the bottle without filling yottr
own glass, and to laugh at those who urge
yon to the contrary.
IV Watch liflarw, la VtHhw, lass.
A NEW AND IMPORTANT ENTEBPBJ8E.
The establishment of a complete manufactory
for the production of American watehea of uniform
And unfailing- excellence ai timykaanera. marka
«n era in onr mechanical progress wmeh prom-
ises to revolutionize the watch trade of the world.
After yews of continued and costly experiment,
under the direction of Mr A L Dennison and
Messrs Appleton, Tracy A Co., a complete and
comprehensive watch manufactory has been made
permanent at Waltham, Mass., where patent le
vers, adjusted chronometer balances, and un-
eqnaled timing pieces and movements, are pro
duced by the aid of machinery and intelligent
skill that will in ail respects compare with the
finest work of the most famous artisans of Eu
rope. The highest perfection of form with the
completest simplicity of parts, have been adopted,
so that durability and reliability are the uniform
and necessary characteristics of the Waltham
watches.
Hitherto England and Switzerland have been
the watchmakers of the world. Coventry and
Prescott in Lancashire and Warwickshire in Eng
land, und Locle and La Chaux de Fends in the
northern cautons of Switzerland, by Lake Gene
va, have been aud are the world’s famed seats of
watch manufacture; but now it seems that Wal
tham, Mass., has surpassad these old world com
petitors, and with machinery, system, intelligent
skill, unaided by protection of any kind, already
produces the most thoroughly exact time-keep
ers. at about half the cost of the best foreign
watches.
All imported watches are made by hand, tha
movements and parts of movements by different
persons, and at different times and places; and
each watch is finally finished with special refer
ence to itself—every part being made to suit only
one place, and the whole movement fitted to a case
which will suit no other movement—no two
watches being in all respects approxomately alike.
A large majority of these watches are worthless,
as timekeepers, aud a constant bill of expense to
their owners, over $5,000,000 being annually
thrown away in vain attempts to improve them.
The American watches are constructed upon
the most scientific and approved principles, design
ed to secure uniformity, simplicity, durability,
cheapness and unvarying perfection of movement,
and are sold with a certificate of warranty in all
cases, for ten years, signed by the manufacturers.
The specific advantages of the Waltham watch
es to dealers and wearers,as compared with tbe best
imported watches,will be most readily apprehended
by the following enumeration, to wit: Each watch,
and each part of every watch of a given style,is the
unvarying counterpart of every watch of the same
style, so that any single part exactly fitted, and
may bo transposed indiscriminately to make lip
any one of any number of watches The move
ments are made to fit any one of any number of
cases, thus enabling the dealer to keep a large and
varied stock of movements with a limited number
of cares, to suit the demands of trade.
The ease and facility with which any pari can
be restored when broken or lost by accident—
part being registered at the factory—a counterpart
can be lmd tor the mere cost of reproduction, and
with whole movements changed, and sent by mail
or express to auy part of the world. Dealers are
thus brought directly in contact with the manu
facturer, and a single retail profit is the only added
cost to the wearer, to manufactur’s prices.
There is no article of common use that is so lit
tle understood, and about which so much decep
tion, charlatanism, and swindling may be and is
continually practiced as attaches to the watch; and
it wilt be a great comfort to honest dealers and
legitimate buyers and wearers, to know that they
can have a substantial and reliable pocket time
keeper, at a moderate price, made at home, and
about which there can be no deception or mistake
that may not be easily, promptly, and cheaply
remedied.
In many parts of the country great difficulty is
experienced in finding good watch repairers and
reliable time keepers. By the introduction of Amer
ican watches this difficulty may be almost entirely
obviated; so that the country merchant can obtain
adjusted watches as a part of his miscellaneous
stock, and tbe customer will buy his regulated
time-keeper, wind it up, aud go about his business
as he would after puichasiug any other article
without mystery or humbug.
The watches have fewer parts, are more substan
tially made than any others, are easily kept clean,
and the chances for failure by breakage are dimin
ished four-fifths as compared with the English
watch, which has upward of eight hundred sepa
rate parts, while the American watch has but one
hundred and twenty-five parts, and most of these
are so substantial, and all so perfect, that it would
be very difficult to break them.
The Waltham watches are eminently adapted for
railroad purposes, where exact time is of the ut
most importance, and when the continuous jar of
the moving train offers the most trying test to
prove the quality of a watch as a time keeper.—
Many eminent engineers and conductors on the
leading railroads of the country have been sup
plied with these watches and now will have no
other.
The manufacturers, with their present means,
can furnish 20,000 watches per annum, and they
intend to furnish, from time to time, as the wants
of the trade may require, other styles and sizes of
watches, including an entire new form of sporting
or timing watch, which will indicate the minutest
divisions ot time with more accuracy than has
ever before been attained.
Arrangements are now being made to supply
small and elegantly finished watches for ladies.
The manufactory stands on the banka of Charles
River and occupies a site of surpassing beauty,
covering an area of one hundred feet square, form
ing a quadrangle with an open court in the center.
The building is two stories in heighth and has
eight hundred feet of floor line, with about sixteen
hundred feet of bench line, for the accommodation
of tie one hundred male and female artisans em
ployed.
The motive power is a twelve-horse steam en
gine which gives motion to lines qf shaft
ing in all the rooms, to which are attached the
number of delicate and wonderful machines which
are used in the various processes of manufacture.
Appleton, Tracy & Co. have added about a hun
dred acres adjoining their manufactory, which af
fords admirable locations for home sites for their
workmen, several of whom have already pur
chased lots and erected comfortable homes iu the
immediate vicinity ot the manufactory.
Every facility is afforded to encourage and at
tract the attention of skillful workmen, tvhoare
here offered largely remunerative wages and con
stant employment, under the most pleasant con
ditions, with an opportunity, in a few years, of se
curing a competency and an independent home,
with other advantages and attractions such as are
nowhere else to be found,
Among the remarkable transformations in the
Value of materials by the addition of labor we
were shown, while visiting the establishment of
SMessis. Appleton, Tracy &. Co , a pound of steel,
originally worth fifty cents, which had been made
jnto 100,000 small screws, worth $1,100, and when
jiold with watch movements set up, would realize
nearly $10,000. About one half of the artizans
employed are young women, and many of them
demonstrate beyond all doubt that the delicate
skill of woman is equal to any emergency of this
wonderful manufacture: where pinions and jewels
are measured to the ter. tbonsandeth part of an

The following we find in a morning paper of
New York city:
The latest attempt to introduce an important do
mestic staple into our own market, and into tho
markets of the world, is that of the Waltham
Watch, manufactured at Waltham, Mass., by the
aid of machinery and intelligently directed skill,
under the auspices of Appleton, Tracy A Co.
It would he interesting to detail the inception
and development of this new enterprise, but we
can only speak of it from its commercial stand
point, and of its probable bearings upon foreign
importation.
For a number of years past we have imported,
chiefly from English and Swiss manufacturers,
watches, parts of watches and watch materials, to
tlieamount of more tlitu $5,000,000 annually.—
A large proportion of these watches have been de
fective, and a large number of them worthless, all
being made by handicraft, under the pressure of
on active competition in prices, and by discon
nected processes; no other result could have been
reasonably expected.
Tbe moral effect of this vast influx of worthless
watclies has been excessively injurious—in fact,
the watch has become a basis and a bye-word lor
all sorts of cheating and petty dishonesty among
us.
The time has fully come for the introduction of
American watclies, and we should not be sur
prised to witness a complete revolution in tho
watch trade of this country within the next five
years, aud see American watches successfully com
pete with the best English and Swiss watches in
European markets.
