\ COuNrRlMAS fitE,ED.-The Troy
Times says; On Saturday afternoon a
Normonter, named Jacob HARDER, lost a
gold watch worth SO, and $, in money,
by means Of a very old confidence game.
Jacob was approached in the Union depot
by three men, who invited him to 20 with
them and see an immense OK which they
said was on exhibition in the neighbor-
hood. Jacobs bucolic tastes led him to
accept the invitation. While on the way
10 see the OK, he was conducted into a sa-
loon on Congress street, where one Of the
operators dropped upon the floor bit Of
cloth enclosing two three cent pieces.
Another of the operators picked it up,
opened it, and abstractiug one of the
pieces, threw il upon the floor again. No,
| now began 4 search for the missing ar
ticlo, and after recovering it remarked
that it was of little consequence whether
he found it or not, as it only contained a
three cent piece. No. now offered 10 bet
that it did not contain one, but being un.
able to Justify with the "koshpoppy," pre-
vailed upon the countryman to take the
bet off his hands. Having witnessed the
abstraction Of the money, he was not 10th
20 invest his pile, and accordingly put up
his watch and grcenbacks OF course. on
unrolling the cloth, the remaining piece
was disclosed, to the astonishod gaze of
the Yermontcr, and the operators were
not long in bidding him an aifectionatc
farewell. He reported hi. loss to the po-
lice, who, although they have no doubt As
to the identity Of the parties who ilceced
the man, are yet unable toprocoed against
them.

When the sunlight all went away. and
the great comet came blazing out, little
johnnie was apprehensiye that the comet
might come too near the airy craft, and
set it on tire with whisk OF its dreadful
tail But when his sister assured him
that the fiery dragon was "as much as
twenty miles away, and that Godwouldn't
let him hurt them, he was tranquiliyed,.
but soon afterward said, Il wish he would
come little nearer, so | could warm my,

Then Jennie took off her apron, and
wrapped it about the child, saying ten

You warm, darling, but she'll hug you

I why, how can | say my prayers. be-

johnnie
Sister hasn't any supper for you, or

solmonly responded Jennie,
So the two baby wanderers, alone in the
wide heavens, unawed by darkness, inn
mensely, aud silence, by the presence aol
the great comet and the millions of an-
pitying stars, lifted their little elasped
hands, and sobbcd out their sorrowful
