A REMARKABLE EREcovERY.-Everyb0dy knows
that everybody else reads TuR NEWS, and that
its advertising columns afford the cheapest
kinds, finding what is lost, revealing owners
for what is found, obtaining tenants for pre-
misses to let, or homes for houseless tenants
that in fact, aside from its advantages as q
vehicle Of news, it has become an institution
Of general and acknowledged convenience to
every class in the community. But it ID not
often that ;ts utilty.in this respe,t receives so
striking an exemplifostion as that which we
are about to mention.
In 1s6S-six years ago-a valuable watch
and cham was found in King-street. All pro-
per efforts were made at the time by the finder
to discover the owner, and at various times
SINCE, both by careful inquiries and advertise
ments in the columns Of other city papers not
enjoying the universal circulation OF The
NEWS; but sll in vain. No trace Of the owner
could be found. On Thursday last, the finder,
by the advice Of friends, as o last resort, re-
solved to try the effect Of an advertisement in
our columns, and accordingly called st TEE
NEWS Office and paid for two insertions OF the
following:
TNOUND, A DOUBLE-CASED GOLD
n WATCH AND CHAIN, in King-street in the
year 1858. The owner can have the sme BY
proving prope ty and paying expenses. Apply to
once DAILY NEWS. Address NJ v. N.
The advertisement appe ared on Friday morn
ing, and lol TO the astonishment Of the adver-
tiser, before noon on the same day gentleman
had sought him out and claimed and fully
identified the lost watch and chain, which
have thus, after the lapse of six years, been
restored to the original possessor. Every
reader can draw his own inference from the
facts in THO case.

erty valued at nearly million OF dollars, how
hundred young fellows had offered her their
hands and hearts, how she had resolved to
marry stranger if she could find one suited
to her mind" how her relatives had consented
| to this course. and how constant her efforts
would be to make the man happy with whom
she might enter the bonds Of wedlock. SO
rapidly did the strange beauty talk that our
young gentleman found it difficult to "get in
single word edgeways," as the saying goes.
She continued her story, which was one of
marvellous adventure considering that the mar
rator was so young and so beautiful, and had
Just begun to explain her pedigree, when
mans voice in the hallway outside said,
" Where's Annie ?" Atthe same time gen.
tlcman opened the door and entered the parler.
" Look ere" said he, addressing the dashing
young widow, "you so up stairs. Uptoyour
old tricks again, I see. Isupposed you were,
that's the reason why watched you
This interruption broke the susceptible heart
of our young gentleman like terrible calamity,
and the effect was greatly heightened when
the young widow commenced to pour out a
volume of epithets on the intruder quite as IN
elegant as they were profane. Here was
nice fix for our adventurous young gentleman.
He turned pale with surprise; and, addressing
the gentleman, said, "but hope you will al
low me to explain" ooh, that's all right"
said the stranger I'll fix that with you as
soon as | get this unfortunate young woman to
her room."
With considerable difficulty the young Wild
ow was removed, and when, the gentleman re-
turned " our hero" was informed that the wo-
man was crazy, and that constant watch had
to be kept over her to prevent her from hav-
ing similar interviews with strangers. Our
young gentleman begged thousand pardons,
and was shown the door. He at once returned
home, and vows thas he will never be caught
in the matrimonial advertisement trap again

WAITING FOR THE SPRING

As breezes stir the morning,
A silence reigns in air,
Steel blue the heavens above me,
Moveless the trees and bare.
Yet unto me the stiffness
This burden seems u bring
"Patience the earth is waiting,
Waiting for the Spring"
Strong ash and sturdy chesnut,
Rough oak and poplar high,
Stretch out their sapless branches
Against the wintry sky;
Even the guilty aspen
Hath ceased her quivering.
As though she too was waiting,
Waiting for the Spring.
| strain mine ears to listen,
III haply where stand,
But one stray note of music
Nav sound in all the land.
"Whv art thou mute, o blackbird?
o thrush why dost not sing?
All! surely they are waiting,
Waiting for the Spring
O heartl thy davs are darksome;
o heart! thy DAYS are drear;
But soon shall streams Of sunshine
Proclaim the turning year.
Soon shall the trees be leafy,
Soon every bird shall sing.
Let them be silent waiting,
Waiting for the Spring.

The cause of ladies' teeth decaying at SO
much earlier a stage Of life than the other sex
has been usually attributed TO the friction pro-
duced by the constant action Of the tongue
It has, however, been suggested, with more gall

owner of the field rose up from the other side

back, and ran off as fast as his legs could carry
him.
Thomas, who had no reason TO be afraid.

himself to as many plums as he wished.
The boy accepted the invitation, aud very
soon filed his pockets with the ripe fruit.

of life occurred in connection with the small

estimable young man connected with one OF
our most ilourishing business houses. Day
after day be came to the hospital to hear from
