Old Watches.

In the South Kensington Museum.
az London, is small watch about 100
years old, representing an apple, the
golden case ornamented with grains Of
pearl. Another old Nuremburg watch
has the form of an acorn, and is pro-
vided with a dainty pistol, which per-
haps served as an alarm. In London
is an eagle-shaped watch in which,
when the body of the bird is opened,
a richly -enamelled face is seen. They
are sometimes found in the form of
ducks or skulls. The Bishop of Ely
had a watch in the head of his cane,
and Prince of Saxony had one in
his riding saddle. A watch made for
Catharine | of Russia is a repeater
aud musical watch. Within is the
Holy Sepulchre and the Roman guard.
BY touching a spring the stones move
away from the door, the guard kneel
down, angels appear, and the holy
women step into the tomb and sing
the Easter song that is heard in the
Russian churches. King George Ill
of England had watch not larger
than a 5.cent piece, which had 100
different parts, the whole not weighing
quite as much as l0-cent piece.

a better than any outward keeping OF
them. He writes them on our hearts.
He shows us how II is that love TO God
and TO man Is their perfect fulfilling.
The eleventh and last lesson was
IDoLATRY PUNISHED.
Hardly had the wonders connected with
the giving of the law ceased when Israel
fell into great sin. Moses had gone
up into the Mount to receive other com.
munications from God. lie was there
forty days. Meanwhile the people grew
restless. They concluded that Moses
had perished, and begged Aaron to
make them an idol to go before them.
Aaron did this, and the result was a
punishment of great and terribly sever
ity. Thus he made them see how sure
sin, unrepented OF, is to be punished in
due time.
Taken together these lessons show us
the free access it is possible to have with
God. Moses came into most intimate
communion with him. He talked with
God. II we are equally ready 10 obey,
why may we not enjoy as well as desire
the same?
We are reminded that God hears
prayer. Even Pharaoh saw that Moses
had power with God. But he had no
greater power than we may have.
In these lessons God is seen working
numerous miracles. We are sometimes
told that faith in miracles is unreason-
able aud dying out. Neither part OF
the saying has any ground in truth. A
personal God must be able to work mira.
cles, and ready, too TO do it, when the
great occasion arises. And, as to this
faith dying out, even Tejectors Of the
Bible are full OF it. They want, and
are ready to cred t, more miracles than
can be found in the Bible.
The one great lesson which runs
through all these portions OF Scripture
is the peril of standing out against
God. and the safety and sure blessing
of obeyine and trusting him. Happy
is he that hath the God of Jacob for his
help"

GENERAL GRANTS NEW HOME.

When General Grants "Old Guard, "
consisting of BOG Stalwarts, were de-
feated at Chicago, in their attempt to
make their chief President for third
term, a movement was inaugurated by
his admirers to raise $3.50, 900 and APP
ply it as asoothing lotion to his wound
ed feelings. Every millionaire in the
country, who wanted his name to be
associated with Grant as being in favor
of ''Strong Government, " contributed
to the fund, John Mackay, of Nevada,
donating S25, 900 of the amount. Grant
accepted the gift, not with deep regret,
as he did the resignation of General
Belknap, when he was caught selling
post-traderships, but with many
thanks, and he is now expanding part
of it on his new home in New York,
which is described as one of the most
elegantly furnished houses on the con-
tinent.. The presents which he received
from office holders and office seekers,
when he was President, and on his
foreign tour, are being used to furnish
and decorate the building profusely.
It is said, by correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer, that nc two pieces
of furniture in the parlors and recep-
tion-rooms will be alike. Curiously
carved chairs, velvet and gold en-
broidered divans, and ebony and ivory
fauteuil will take the place of the mod
era set. The Oriental hangings and
Persian carpets were made for General
Grant as gifts, and Mrs. Grant will in
cur the everlasting envy of women by
using the finest and most exquisitely
woven India cashmere shawls for the
drapery OF her boudoir. In the gen.
erals private dressng-room stands
miniature house of FIVE stories, and
nearly three feet in hight. 1t is of
solid silver, curiously beaten and raised
in queer flowers and odd birds. On
opening the various doors and windows
that lead out on comical little balconies,
can be discovered eases of fretted sill
yer, containing bottles and TASKS Of
carved ivory, filled with different and
delicious perfumes. This was presented
to the owner in China. A pleasant re-
minder of India is pair of superb ele-
plant tusks, nearly six feet in length,
the polished ivory set off by elaborate
gold mountings.
The wall on one side of the family
sitting-room is nearly covered by a re-
markable japanese picture-a hunting
scene. The ground is of creamy satin,
and the subject is worked out in varied
silk embroidery, the figures and foliage
standing out as in real life, and the col
ors exquisite and natural.
How exceptional a memory General
Grant has is shown in the fact that he
knows at glance where each of the
thousands of gifts came from, and the
name of the donor, and the circum-
stances OF the presentation. OF course,
if he should again be made President,
he would kindly remember the donors
when distributing the offices.
