THE LITTLE BOY THAT DIED.


The late DR.. Chalmers is said to have been the
author Of the following beautiful lines, written on
the occasion of the death Of young son, whom he
greatly loved:
l am all alone in my chamber now,
And the midnight hour is near,
And the fagot's crack, and the clocks dull tick,
Are the only sounds hear;
And over my soul in its solitude
Sweet feelings of gladness glide;
For my heart and my eyes are full when L think
OF the little boy that died.
I went one night to my fathers house
Went home to the dear all
And softly opened the garden gate,
And softly the door of the hall.
My-mother come to meet her son
She kissed me, and she sighed
And her head fell on my neck as she wept
For the little boy that died.
I shall miss hinAwhen the flowers come
In the garden where he played;
L shall miss him more by the ireside
When the flowers are all decayed;
shall see his toy aud the empty chair,
And the horse he used to ride,
And they will speak with a silent speech
Of the little boy that died.
We shall go home to our Fathers house
Our Fathers house in the skies,
Where the hope of souls shall have blight,
Our love no broken ties;
We shall roam on the banks of the river of peace
And bathe in its blissful tide;
And one of the joys of life shall be
The little boy that died.

WALTHAM
w ATCH IL =.

The extensive of these watches for the last
fifteen years by Railway Conductors, Engineers,
and Expressmen, the most exacting of watch
wearers, has thoroughly demonstrated the strength
steadiness durability and accuracy of the Waltham
Watch. To satisfy that class in all these respects
is to decide the question to the real value of
these time-keepers.
More than 400, 900 of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets of the
people-apro and guarantee of their superiority
all others.
The superior organization and great extent of
the Company's Works at Watham, enable them to
produce Watches at price which renders compe-
tition futile, and those who buy any other watch,
merely pay from IS to so per cent. more for their
watches than is necessary.
We are now selling Waltham Watches at less
prices in greenbacks, than the gold prices before
the war. There is other manufacture of any
kind in the United States of which this can be
said.
These tme-pieces combine every Improvement
that long experience has proved of real practical
use Having had the refusal of nearly every in
vention in Matchmaking originating in this coun-
try, or in Europe, only those were finally adopted
which testing by the most sklful artisans in
our works, and long use on the part of the public
demonstrated to be essential to correct and endur-
ing time-keeping.
ticularizc:
The invention and use of a centre -pinion of
peculiar construction, to prevent damage to the
train by the breakage of main springs, is original
with the American Watch Company, who, having
had the refusal of all other contrivances adopted
Fogg's Patent pinion as being the best and fault
less.
Hardened and tempered hair springs, now
universally admitted by watchmakers to be the
best, used in all grades of waltham Watches.
All Watham Watches have dust-proof caps
protecting the movement srom dust, and lessening
the necessity of the frequent cleaning necessary in
| other watches.
| Our new patent stem-winder, or keyless watch,
is already decided success and great improve.
ment on any stem winding watch in the American
market and by far the cheapest watch of its quality
now offered to the public.
To CALIF0RNIANS and others living in
portions Of the United States where watchmakers
do not abound, watches with the above mentioned
improvements which tend to insure accuracy
cleanliness durability and convenience must prove
invaluablcS
Every watch bearing the trade mark of Waltham
is guaranteed to be a thoroughly reliable time
keeper.
To prevent imposition, buyers should nvariably
demand certificate of genuineness.
The trade supplied by Messrs. R. B. Gray 4 Co.,
San Francisco. Cal, and generally for sale at retail
by all respectable dealers.

A BRAVE BoY.-The San Francisco Her
aid says:
On Saturday, Master j. Harry Cutter was
out riding near the lagoon or pond near
Fillmore and Greenwich streets, when his
herse, from some cause or other, suddenly
plunged into the pond. throwing his rider
into the deep water. Fortunately the strug-
giles of the horse attracted the attention of
the neighbors, who soon gathered to render
such assistance as they could-but their
efforts would have been without success had
it not been for small boy of about II years
old, named James Fitzpatrick. who, being
an expert swimmer, dashed into the pond,
and in few seconds brought the drowning
boy to the shore. This we are informed is
the third life he has saved from drowning
The neighbors rendered every assistance,
and Master Cutter is doing well, aud none
the worse for his mishap.

Sensation Scene at NibIo's Garden, New

An exceedingly amusing episode pimpro
Uista took place the other day on the capac.
ious stage of this popular theater where the
Lydia Thompson burlesque troupe were as
sembled for music rehearsal in connection
with their present successful piece, s. The
Forty Thieves"
Before the incidents which followed can
be thoroughly appreciated, it must be pre-
missed that two gentlemen, friends of Messrs.
Jarrett and Palmer, the lessees. had gone
some time before on sporting expedition to
Florida, and had apprised their friends at
Niblo's, by letter, that they had forwarded
to them, by Express. a tox of the natural
products of the country, which they were
exploring in search of game

English blondes might see something of the
native products of Florida 1t was an ord-
nary deal box; and, as one ofthe carpenters s
gang knelt down to pry it open, speculation
became rife as to its contents.
Miss Lydia Thomson thought it was or.
anges. Miss Weber suggested pine-apples
Mr.. Beckett detected the odor of raw grain
whiskey. Mr.. Jarrett was perfectly sure it
was game.
The mystery was soon to be solved-and it
Is difficult to imagine that the opening of
Pandora box itself created more dismay.-
Up went the lid, and out popped a gay nd
festive alligator, four or five feet long with
very fine dental development, and an undu-
lating tail of truly vigorous aspect
fhnf In
ton. High and shrill over the bassoons of
the orchestra. rose the shrieks of the Forty
Thieves. Before the traditional twinkling
of an eye. the stage was clear; and the as
tonished alligator found himself doing a So
liloquy in the style of Hamlet He turned
his expressive snout toward the orchestra
and opened his mouth In vain was this
pleasing indication that he was ready to sing
if required given to the dismayed Sons of
Harmony. There never such rapid
orchestral movement executed as by the
Niblo's band on this occaaon.
Mr.. Alligator then took a business tour
round the stage, and was apparently very
much pleased by Mr. Vincent's arrangements
an appreciation which that gentleman un
gratefully resented by poking at him with an
iron-tipped staff.
Eventually Mr.. Benjamin Sherwood, the
master carpenter, Win noble disregard to
the possible results Of his boots, and cheered
on by the supplicating blondes in the flies,
went at master alligator and persuaded him
into his box again, where he was Immediately
nailed down. and the rehearsal proceeded.
Messrs. Jarrett and Palmer took solemn
VOW never to open any more boxes contain
ing the natural products of Florida, without
first exactly knowing what the products
were.

TECHNICAL MEMORY,

A pamphlet entitled Technical Memory,
by Mr.. &. G. Mayo, has just been issued
from the press of the Bulletin office.
Mr.. Mayo informs us that the treachery Of
his own memory suggested the necessity Of
an artificial method, and being melted to re-
search thereby, he received most valuable aid
from classical work Of English origin,
bearing date 72i, the author of which claimed
to have received his first impressions from
another work, published in the year 1865.
Partly porfccting his system and satisfied of
it, priceless value as n strengthener of mem-
DRY, Mr.. Mayo impaired knowledge Of it TO
classes in different parts Of Ohio as far back
thirteen years ago.
That which was reduced to system then
is rs perfectly in the memory now rs at tho
time Of its committal. BY employing this
method the weakest and most tickle memories
can remember that which the strongest cam
not retain without it. The fidelity of Mr..
Ms memory, In this system, has been fully
tested by leading citizens, and so surprising
were the results Of the test that our Academy
Of Science, becoming interested, propose we
understand, to cal the gentleman out.
The pamphlet, TO which We have alluded,
contains mention of one thousand dates and
events, and considerable miscellaneous matter
of interest to every one. All this, however,
is only an atom Of the treasure that Mr. VI.
claims to have stored away through his meth
3D. for his own use Tho ourious-and in
this behalf their name should be legion
should call upon Mr.. Mayo.
