Those who dis obey the commands or refuse to observe them shall be unsuccessful in life. Those who publish the letter shall be blessed with many comforts and their sIns shall be psrdoned.

4 Blind Watchmaker's Skill.

Many years ago there lived in the
town of Hol beach, England, blind
Matchmaker named William Rippin,
whose dclicacy of touch and marvellous
skill IN repairing watches were famous
throughout all the neighboring country.
lie was not born blind, either, so that
lis singular faculty cannot be explained
as congenital. After learning his trade
in regular fashion he commenced busi-
ness at Io.bcach, but three or four
years afterwards caught a severe cold in
his eyes, which resulted in amaurosis,
and although under treatment Of tho
leading occulists of the day, he became
totally and hopelessly bind at 90 years
OF are. Instead Of being crushed by his
misfortune, he, by great and untiring
energy and perseverance, became one Of
the cicvcrest of blind mel. His ability
to clean anu repair clocks, watches,
!u.ical instruments, and every article
connected with the business was mar
vcllous
He was able to work as we'll as before
his ai!ilction. He could do any repairs
required. even turning in vcrges, &c.
The on.y aid ho required il taking to
pieces and putting together a watch was
in unpinniag and pinning the hairspring,
which was impossible for a blind man to
do, which was done by MS wife, whom
he taught to work at the business after
his loss of sight. He generally had 100
watches il the shop for repairs, some of
100 to 200 miles. Every watch he
knew by the touch and every customer
by his voicc. Having been frst-class
cricIcter previously, even after his loss
of sight he played two siaglc-wIcket
matches, both of which he won. He
could play c.rls. dominocs, bagatelle,
was good musician, and leader of the
Holbcach Brass Band. He was an in
telligeat man, nearly six feet high. and
many who saw and co1verscd with him
were unaware TINT he was blind. He
died early in consequence OF the severe
treatment for his eyes, but the prosper
Gus business he left at Holbcach was
carried on successfully by his wife and
daughter until about five years ago
