The Story Of q. Watch.

One day I was passing through the
Green Park. Let me recall that event.
full day I have been; working hard all
day to catch up lost time, am now walk
ing slowly through the park, when q
sight meets my eye which makes me
forget fatigue and change my stroll into
a sharp walk. A crowd. I am soon in
it. What is the matter? Indeed! Then
I must stop. One does not see Sultan
every day. This is something like. An
oriental potentate. in all his magnifi-
canoe, is about to enter the palace Of
the great Queen upon whose 9omin-
ions the. sun never sets. Hark!
Music! Here they cone! Hurrah!
A rush, a squeeze, a man
pushes rudely against me; T. glance
round at him: he is working his way
quickly through the crowd, very quick,
". A suspicion flashes upon mo. One
touch of my hand to my side makes it
certainty. Mywatch is gone!, I plunge
ferce1y after that man. I think Of my
wife's tears, of my own vexation; I
Think with tender regret, ofwinding-
up time; I feel like "a. father as T. think
Of the times have corrected my treas
ure by the church. I picture Blogg's
pretended sympathy and secret glee.
I imagine him Haunting his gold Gen
eva in my face, and myself without my
good old forty-guinea English lever to
put him down with; and all because of
that ,black.whiskered vagabond, now
making his escape. These. thoughts.
the-thoughts Of q moment---give me
the strength and energy of q lion. I
dash aid push and squeeze through the
people,, who give me no aid, but curse
me volubly as I stamp on their toes and
dig my elbows into their ribs. Imake
q clutch at him. Missed, by a hands
breadth: Oh, if that man between us
had been. thin! Another attempt" I
touch his coat. One more-I have,
him! Oh, the ecstacy of that moment,
mingled with the fear of his having
passed the watch to a confederate! Be-
fore I can gasp out a word he turns
half round, slips it into my hand, and
as I place it in my pocket he makes of
once more, this time unpursued, for I
have regained my treasure and am sat-
isfed. do not venture to take it out
Of my pocket, but walked home at once,
keeping my hand on my watch all the
way. No one shall come near me till I
reach home, I feel very hot, but at
the same time hero. HaveI not had
an adventure, and have I not come
through it triumphantly? No tears
now from my wife, no sneers now from
Blogg. How I shall enjoy winding up
ny watch tonight! Its value is en-
HANGED, it has a story! wish I could
go home on horseback or by steam. I
am bursting to tell my wife all about it.
At last I am at home. am sitting
down. I begin my tale. I tell of the
crowd of the thief, of my loss. Ny
wife tries to interrupt me; I won't allow
it. I describe the deed, the chase, the
capture, the restitution! pause for
my wife's words of admiration, and con-
graduation which I am sure will now
follow. She says quietly, my dear,
you know you left in a great hurry this
morning. # you look on. the mantel-
piece you will see your watch which you
left at home" She was right. I have
now two watches!-London Society.

John Morrissey'sFirst Battle.

"The pugilist no longer seems to be a
factor in politics." said George Rock
wood, the photographer, to New York
Tribune reporter, "but it is not SO long
ago that Morrissey held the balance of
power in New York. Did I not know
Morrissey? i rather think did. Let
me tell you little story of long ago.
About the year 1850 I was living in

Old Dave Smith, a;well- l-known colored

him for a moment large, overgrown
boy made his appearance in the half
open doorway. He was dressed in
pair of trousers, ragged shirt, and
shoes the uppers and soles of which had
long since parted company. On his
head was bit Of flat cap. May I
come in, boss ?" he asked of Dave, with

the boy: Atthe same time he struck
the lad and sent HIM flying over q chair.
'The gentleman. outside said 7 might
come in,' gasped the boy. as he recoy-
cred his feet Gentleman, indeed! So
you think that black nigger's more of
gentleman than L amp said the bully.
:sYes, !. do answered the boy. I know
YOU, Jim O'Donald, and if you want to
fight, I'll fight you At first the bully
sneered at the proposition, but after the
interchange of q few words he said he
would take the lad at his word. We all fol-
lowed the two outside for they had before
this been sent to the outer regions by
the proprietor of the restaurant. It had
stopped showing and q ring was formed
in the center of the road, just opposite
the Alhambra, and the two went at it.
When the rough h-and- tumble fight was
over the two principals were lying on
the ground some two hundred yards
farther. down the road, and the bully
O'Donald was knocked senseless. .s~
"'Then the policeman came from be-
hind the trees where they had been
watching the fight, and proceeded to
run the fighters in. Among the spec:
tators was brother of Isaiah Rynders,i

He walked up to the boy and said

Johnny, you go. along with. the officers

"What Hon. J. G. Burrows Says"

For more than five years past a member Of
my family has been afflicted with Hay Fever,
culmin ting late in the fall with a hacking
cough, which would increase in severity until
the return of warm weather: Every remedy
proved futile, and relief was only found in q
change of climate. There was recurrence
of the difficulty last fall, attended with the u.s.
ual cough and violent protracted sneezing.
Not half a bottle of Papi1lion Oatarrh Cure had
been used before the cough entirely disap-
peared, and general relief followed. It is
simply wonderful! Don't fail to try it
