He had gene into the house, as was his custom, to well
goods and " torn an honest penny," when sia or
seems men in the coffer-room desired to see a time-
piece he carried with kiwi. They affected all to ad-
mire it moth, and so conscioes was he that one of
them wiseld become a purchaser, that he was induced
to " treat himself to a glass of gin." Navies drool'
I " a merry new year" to the geirtlemee, be enquired
which of them wished to hey the time-piece. No an-
swer was made, and to his astonishment no one
seemed to ►old the timepiece. In vain did be ask
each iedivideal to restore, if they did not mean to
perches, it; they unanimously denied all konwledge
of is, and began to ahem and threoten him. Not con.

tricks were played open him, hot the worst of all
was the determlestion not to give him op his time-
piece.
