Short ofa Watch

Mr.. Jacob Shott, on his way home from
lecture, In which he had been much interest
ed, fell In with q well dressed. gentleman WHIT
addressed casual inquiry TO him. From thin
inquiry Proceeded an animated conversation
in which Mt. Short became 40 much interested
that he parted from his new acquaintance will
regret. ......... ...
A moment Afterwards, being desltous o.
learning the time, he felt for his watch. Tt
his CONSERVATION he found 1t was gone. II,
at once bethought himself o the common prac.
tice Of adroit pickpockets ID put on the guise
OF gentlemen. in older to facilitate their oper.
atoms. or couse his suspicious rested on his
late acquaintance. Luckily he was in sight.
He ran after him with hasty step, and sue
ceeded in oye-taking him.
Surrender that watch ? said he, in de.
termined tone, 'or the consequence be upor
your own head
The gentlemen, or pickpocket, turned pale
and looked for moment as il he were incln-
ed to resistance, but the resolute lone ani
bear ing of Mr.. Short intimidated him, and he
yielded 10 the requisitton. ...
Mr.. Short went home congratulating himself
on the courage he had displayed.
He related the adventure to his wife, who
instead of prsising him, as he anticipated she
would, exclsimed:
why, Jacob, what have you done Youl
own watch is lying on The table where you
left il before going to the lecture. That
should live see my dear husband pickpock'
et'
Jacob sat down in trepidation. II wo'
all true. He ha1 actually committed high
way robbery, when, as he imagined, he hat
only recovered his stolen property.
He slept but lit lie that night. Visions o
handouts and prison bars foa!ed before his
tronbled mind land he rose from a seepess bed
the next morning 10 read the following oil.
nouncement in the morning papers;
'OUTRAGE.-We learn that the Rev. Mr.. c..
when returning from. lecture last evening
was violently assaulted by stranger ant
threatened with instant death unless he deliv4
cred up his watch. He was accordingly obli
ged to do so. Ihe person who committed th'
outrage is short and stout, with ferociops ex
preston of countenance.
This was not calculated TO calm the excited
nerves OF Mr.. Short. He hardly knew how Il
e1tricste himself from this embarrassing posi-,
ton. He at length bethouyht himself TO sen,
his wife with the watch 10 the Rev. Mr.. G..
with plain statement Of the mistake whicl
had occuned,and with request.hat he woul,
cause the matter 10 he dropped immediately.
| The negotiation proved successful, and Shor
was relieved from his terror. II need not b.
said that Mr.. Short has not attempted highwa
robbery since this memorable occasion, hav
| ing come to the deliberate conclusion that 'th
wav of the transgressor is hard'
