A New Mede Of RObbing Pedestri-
ans.

About two months ago an elderly gen
tleman, while walking in one OF our public
streets, had his watch distracted from hi
pocket in a very mysterious manner. HI
afterwards offered a reward of twenty dol
lars for its recovery, and stated that M
questions would be asked of the person whr
returned the watch. He had, however
given up all hopes ofever finding his watch
which was valuable family relic, when
one day last week, while in Wall street, he
was accosted by genteelly dressed man
somewhat in this style:
"Sir, you lost watch some time ago
for the return of which you advertised
reward of twenty dollars, and no questions
to be asked" !"
"I did," said the gentleman.
care you ready to pay the money agree
able to the advertisement" said the per-
son.
81 am," said he.
"Well, here is your watch" IL,
The gentleman then paid the y,and
put the watch in his pocket, remarking at
the same time, 81 can't imagine how lost
it,
"Well, will tell you," said the thief
'Don't you remember person knocking
against you the day you lost your watch g
~ do,' said the gentleman.
"Then it was said the rogue coolly,
'that it was taken from your pocket, and
will show you how it was done"
The villain, suiting the action to the
words, jostled violently against the gentle
man, which somewhat disturbed his equl-
ibrium. The latter was perfectly satisfied
with the explanation, and turning upon his
heel left the thief and went chuckling into
his office, where he told the story to his
friends. and congratulated himself upon his
unexpected good fortune.
The tale seemed so improbable to the
listeners, not because they doubted the We
racity of the old gentleman-for he was
man who had the confidence of the COM
munity-that they burst in hearty laugh
at the idea of a pickpocket being so con-
science-smitten as to restore stolen proper
ty. -.
eff you have any doubts" said the gen
tleman, 81 will show you the watch. =
And putting his hand in his pocket, 10 his
great surprise and modification he found
tha. the thiefhad stolen his watch second
time, and had escaped with it and the twen-
ty dollars besides.
We have narrated the above occurrence
as it was told to US by friend of the old
gentleman, aid we believe it to be true
a short time since, while passing up Broad
way, by the Astor House, we saw one man
run against another in a similar manner,
and in the collision a gold watch jumped
out of the vest pocket of one of them, and
the chain caught in the button of the other
The guard chain, however, was a strong
one, and the two persons were stopped by
it; the chain was unloosed, the watch res
toreG to its proper place, and an apology
was offered and accepted for the apparent
ly unavoidable accident. We were i'm.
pressed at the time with the conviction thai
the aggressor had come in collision for the
purpose of stealing the watch.-N Y E

FATAL CATAsrRopuE.--Ata a dining par
ty few days since, while champaign was
circulating pretty freely and jests were
sparkling as sparkling wine, one modest
young gentleman, who was engaged in the
Turkey department. suddenly proposed a
conundrum: "Why are most persons who
eat Turkey. like babies" A great silence
followed accompanied with deep reflection.
No one could answer. The modest young
gentleman blushed, and backed out of his
own proposition, but an over curious female
relative detained him by the button OF his
coat, and he was compelled, at the entrea-
ties ofthe party, TO give the answer|which

I See Thee Still.
BY CHARLES sPRAGUE.

see thee still:
Remembrance faithful to her trust,
Calls thee in beauty from the dust;
Thou comest in the morning light,
Thou'rt with me through the gloomy night;
In dreams meet thee as of old:
Thea thy soft arms my neck Unfold,
Aad thy sweet voice is in my ear.
In every scene to memory dear
| see thee still.
see thee still
In every hallowod tokea round:
This little ring thy finger bound;
This lock of hair thy forehead shaded;
This silken chain by thee was braided;
These flowers, all withered now, like thee,
Sweet sister, thou didst Gull for me;
This book was thine-here didst thou read
This picture-ah, yes, here, indeed,
see thee still.
see thee still;
Here was thy summer moons retreat;
Here was thy favorite lireside seat;
This was thy chamber here, each day,
sat and watched thy sad decay;
Here, on this bed. thou at last didst lie;
Here, on this pillow, thou didst die.
Dark hour once more its woes unfold
As then | saw thee, pale and cold,
see thee still.
| see thee still:
Thou art not in the grave confined
Death cannot chain the immortal mind;
Let earth close o'er its sacred trust,
But goodness dies not in the dust.
Thee, o my sister! tits not thee
Beneath the coflin's lid see;
Thou to fairer land art gone >
There let me hope, my journey done,
To see thee still.

Judge Gently.


Oh, there has many teal. been shed,
And many heart been broken,
For want of gentle hand stretched forth,
Or word of kindness spoken.
Then, oh, with brotherly regard
Greet every son of sorrow,
SO from each tone of love his heart
New hope, new strength, shall borrow.
Nor turn with cold and scornful eye,
From him who hath offended,
But let the harshness of reproof
With kindest tones be blended,
The seeds ofgood are every where,
And, in the guiltiest bosom,
May, by the quickening rays of lave,
Put forth the teuder blossom.
While many a tempted soul hath been
To deeds of evil hardened,
Who felt the bitterness of grief,
The first offence unpardoned.

ss A rich Joke was once perpetrated by
din office-holder in Alabama, if we recollect
rightly which resulted in rather serious con-
SEQUENCES to the perpetrator. The Post
master General had written him letter
somewhat as follows: Dear Sir-You will
please inform this Department, how far the
Tomblgbee River runs up. Respectfully,
&c., Postmaster General" The return mai!
brought to the Department the annexed
curt reply: "sir in answer to yours Of the
instant, I have to state that the Tom
biobee River doesn't run up al aHr This
brief epistle was followed by one equally
terse and equally effective. 1t ran as fol-
lows: "Sir-You are hereby Informed that
this Department has no longer any occasion
for your services. Respectfully, Sc, Post
master General" The 'beheaded' officer
was often heard to say afterward, that he
lost a good office by poor joke.

SCENE AT THE CRYSTAL PALAcE'-The
exhibition outside of the Palace threatens
to be as extraordinary as that of the inside.
Since our last visit, the scene has become
more varied and lively than ever. There
are all sorts of things to see in the vicinity
living crocodiles, mammoth oxen, model
of San Francisco the Swiss bell-ringers, and
many others. There are plenty of men
with targets and percussion guns weighing
machines and telescopes. Bowling saloons
are numerous so are swings, whiligigs and
contrivances for wheeling people up half
hundred feet into the air. The cake and
apple.stands are past counting; and the
dealers in cutlery, and sixpenny watches,
and balls of soap wander to and fro inces'
sanity. New buildings, both of perma-
nent and temporary character, are going up
all around. Opposite the sixth Avenue en-.
trance of the Palace, is new and really
splendid icecreamery and restaurant in
which eight hundred people can be accom-
modated with arm.chairs, at marble tables,
at one time. Next door, there is the most
snowy and tasteful bar-room we remember
to have seen. The wooden observatory is
nearly finished. The neighborhood is
thronged all day with people; who come
up to see how the Palace is getting on and
the noise of 1000 hammers are the music
they are welcomed with. From the midst Of
the busy scene rises The Crystal Palace il.
self, swarming with men-rnen crawling
like flies over the huge dome ,men hanging
like spiders from the lantern, men on scaf'
foldlngs putting in glass, men inside making
the galleries and laying the foors-all ham
mering away, as though they heard the
Leander saluting up the bay, and would
rather not keep the foreign commissioners
waiting.-Ns,o York Home Journal.

OLD FOLKS AT HOME.

Way down upon the Swanee river,
Far, far away,
Oars where my heart is turning eber,
Oars where the old folks stay
All up and down the whole creation,
Sadly l roam,
Still longing for the old plantation
And for the old folks at home.
CHORUS.-All de world am sad and dreary,
Ebry where roam;
Oh darkey's how my heart grows weary
Far from de old folks at home.
All round de little farm wandered,
When was young,
Den many happy days l squandered,
Many de songs sung;
When was playing wild my brudder
Happy was |,
Oh take me to my kind old mudder,
Dare let me live and die.
CHoRUs.-All de world am sad and dreary, &c.
One little hut among de bushes
One that love,
Still sadly to my memory rushes
No matter where | roam,
When will 1 see de bees humming,
All round de comb,
When will hear the banjo cumming
Down in my good old home
CHoRUs.-All de world am sad and dreary, &c.
