MILToN's WATCH.-A poor family in
this country lately received a box from
America, us part of the effects of All a
ged relative, whose ancestors had en-
igrated to that continent soon after the
time of commonwealth, the box con-
tanned several coins of the reigns OF
Elizabeth, James and Charles L., and o
few of the Protectorate, but none of q
later date. With the coins there was an
old watch, and the family to whom the
bequest came, being INDECENT, sold the
whole to a silversmith, who was a
matchmaker. The purchaser gave the
full price for the coins, but refused to
give more for the watch than the value
of the silver case, Is. Cd. The works,
with the face on (Which looked like l.
ron, )were left in a drawer frequently o.
pened. After a while the friction on the
face showed it to be silver, with an in
scription on it. This being deciphered,
bv clearing the metal, was found to be
"Johani Miltono, 1884," and contained
also the name Of the maker, a person
in Pope's H~ead-alley, London, whose
name appears on the tables of the
watchmakers' company for that period
The watch is well made for the time,
and would seem an appropriate present
for a young gentleman on entering life.
The present possessor had it as a token
OF gratitude for some former favour
from the silversmith, and the relic has
become an object Of inquiry for pur-

of Martin Van Buren,, upon some OF
the many important questions which
have been before the country within
the past few years, was given.

effort, oppose any further political cle-
| walton Of Martin. Van Buren,,
Because he has two sets o fopinions
npon every important national cues
ton.
Being in the North, a tariff mnn.
In the South an anti-tariT man.
In New York, a safety fund man.
, In Pennsylvania, a pure anti-bank
man.
In the North a foe to slavery, and
| friend Of abolition.
In the South, a foe to abolition and
friend to slavery.
Protesting great confidence IN tie
people, yet opposed to dividing the sur
plus money in the treasury, lest It may
corrupt the people in the different
States.
Because he has shamcfully cndeav-
orcd to mingle religion with politics,
by causing his confidential friends in
different parts ofthe Union, to election
Ger religious opinions in aid ofhis I'M
| bition, being by them in one place rep
resented as an Episcopalian, in another
as a Baptist, here a German roiormcr,
| there a Catholic, at one time inclined
TO Methodism, still having someinclina-
ton to Presbyterianism ; willing TO be
any thing, and every thing that will in
! any way aid him to higher Office and
power"
