A NEW KIND OF WATCH CASE

New because 1t is only within the last few years
that 1t has been improved and brought within the
reach of every old In principle because the first
invention was made and the first patent taken out
nearly twenty years ago. and cases made at that
time and since, are nearly as good as new
Read the following which is only one case Of many
hundreds, your Jeweler can tell OF similar ones.
MANSFIELD, PA, May 2Sth, 1873.
Ihave a customer who has carried one Of Boss
Patent Cases fifteen years and knew 1t two years
before he got IT, and 1t now appears good for ten years
longer II, e. 0LNEY, Jeweler.

of two plates of solid gold Zone outside and one in.

NAMING THE BABY.

They gathered In solemn council
The chiefs in the household band
They sit in the daTkened chamber
A concave proud and grand
They peer In the curtalned cradle
And each with one voice exclalm,
AS they point to the new found treasure,
1.-THE baby must have nRmel"
They bring forth the names by dozens,
With many an anxious look;
They scan all the tales and novels,
They search through the good Old Book
Till the happy-voiced young mother,
Now urging her prior claim,
Cries out In the fondest accents;
"0h give him pretty namel"
"His grandpa was Ebenezer-
Long buried and gone, dear SOUL"
Says the trembling voice of grandma,
As the quiet ar.drops roll.
"Oh, call him Eugene Augustus"
Cries the youngest of the throng-
"Plain John, says the happy father,
rs an honest name and strong"
And thus is the embryo statesman
Perhaps or the soldier bold,
Respecting his future title
Left utterly out In the cold
And yet 1t can matter but little
To him who Is needless of fame
For no name will honor the mortal
If the mortal dlshonors the name.

UNSPOKEN PRAYER.

Too tlred-too worn to pray,
1 can but fold my hands,
Entreating in voiceless way,
OF Him who understands
How flesh and heart succumb-
How will sinks, weary-weak,
"Dear Lord, my languld lips are dumb,
See that l cannot speak,"
Just as the wearled child,
Through sobblng pain opprest,
Drops, hushing all Its walllngs wild,
Upon Its mothers brest-
So on thy BOSOM
Would cast my speechless prayer,
Nor doubt that thou wilt let me lie
In truStful weakness there.
And though no conscious thought
Befor' me rises clear.
The prayer, Of wordless language wrought,
Thou yet will delgn to hear.
For when, at best I plead
What so my spirit saith
I only am the bruised reed,
And thou the breathing breath,
-Margaret J. Preston
