A Brooklyn parent gave his daughter a

Fulton-street jeweler the next day asked him
to look at the watch and see what was the
matter with it. The jeweler took it, put "a
magnifying glass before his eye opened the
case, touched the wheels with pick, and re-
marked that il needed cleaning, rs IL was very
dirty. On iuquiring the cost OF such an opera

young lady was amazed, for she had had the
watch only three days and was reluctant to

reaching down into that dull district off the

portunity. But the avocations he had been
put to were really a part of his military edu.

been thrown many time from horse; he
knew that his father was pretty hard man,
