Messrs. Welsh d Payne jewellers, in
Greenwich street near Vesey, have for
some time past been exhibiting large spe-
cimen Of California gold, valued at 5000,
in their shop window. The glit,ering ore
excited the cupidity Of some one, who about
s O'Clock last evening, succeeded in forci-
bly, appropriating the prize. Having first
thrust stick through the handle ofthe door
on the outside, SO as to prevent egress from
within, he suddenly broke pane of glass
in the window, and seizing the gold and all
the watches and other valuables within his
reach. ran off with a speed which defed
pursuit. The whole value Of the property
taken is estimated at about 5000. This IS
one OF the boldest robberies recently recor-
ded. The temerity fthe rogue is almost
incredible when il is remembered that the
scene of his operations was in busy thor
oughtare, contiguous to the station house,
and at an early hour of clear evening. 1t
is thought he musthave had an accomplice,
as woman, who attempted to open the
shop door to let the owners out, was rude
ly pushed aside by some one passing thus.
affording ample time for the thiefto escape.

"Yes," added George. pushing the pa.
pers in which he had carefully folded them
towards his muther, ''you may give them
all away. If l could find some seeds of a
tree that would never die should love tc

such garden, motherl"
"Yes, George, | have read of garden

"a real garden, motherl"
"Yes, my son. In the middle ofthe gar
