WsUches are cheaper, more accurate, ltss
complex, more durable, better adapted for
general use. and more easilv lpt in inl

therefore stronger and less likely to be injured'
than the majority of foreign watches, which
are compo cd of frcm 125 to 300 pieces,
while in an old English watch there arc Lire
than 700 parts. How they run under the
hardest trial watches can have, is shown by

by his medicines have been very numerous

poor consumptives that have to be lifted out
of their carriages, and in a few months
healthy, robust persons. Dr. Schcnek's Pul
monic Syrup, Seaweed ToniCi and Mandrake
Bills are generally all required iri curing
Consumption. Pull directions accompany
each, so that any one can take them with

ax ixcioevt or the: flight
BY UNSET.
There is a sweet tradition
Of the Mother and the Child,
Who, with Joseph, fled to Egypt,
From their native hind exiled.
Ah ! the lips I heard repeat it
Have been silent many vearp,
And the mem'ry of this legend
Chokes rny utterance w ith tears.
Though to yor I fain would tell it,
Song of mine cannot convey.
Like the voice of rny dear mother,
What my heart would long to say ;
For a holy inspiration
Seemed to breathe in every word.
" h;Ie her lingers drew sweet music
From the willing chords they stirr'd.
When they fled across the desert,
Josejdi and his Jewish bride,
With a God for their companion
And an angel for th ir guide.
Night fell 'round them, and the shelter
Of a da:k and lowly cave
Was the only place of refuge.
Earth, her great Creator gave.
Other inmates had that cavern.
Dark and swarthy visaged men,
And another intltnt lying
Ne.r its mother, in the den ;
disease hnd stamped its features.
And the Virgin saw, and pte.s'd
Closer still the precious burden
That she bore upon her breaat.
When she washed her babe in water
From a stream that flowed near by,
The poor mother of the leper
Took the same, she scarce know why,
And, when all around was silent,
Bitiied her hapless, tainted child,
In the waves made pure and hoiy
By that Presence undefiled.
Lo ! a change, is softly stealing
O'er the little, shrunken form.
And from lips of roselike beauty
Comes liis breathing, pure and warm ;
Ad ois a-e has fL-d she raises
Up to G d her tearful eyes,
'An 1 with grateful joy she brings him
Close to where the Savior lies.
Mary lays her hand in blessing
(hi the soft and rosy brow.
And with keen, prophetic vision.
Sees the form, so lovely now.
On the gibbet, and she gathers
Her Emanuel to her heart.
For she knows that time of sorrow
Wid not find them far apart.
Note The last vers? has reference ta a
tradition that the child here spoken of was
afterwards the repentant thief on the cross.

M A UK A l'.i.E CONCLUSION THE O'PAKKS
THE VICTORS UNPRECEDENTED SCORE.
Dear Eaguk: The great Base Ball
Match which I referred to last week has
been played.
It was between the first (and only) nine
of the O'Pake club, and the Chad club.
We played on the Capitoline ground,
which had been nicely swept and sprin
kled, und the bases white-washed.
The weather was line though cloudy,
warm though windy.
The attendance of spectators must have
been less than fifteen thousand, but for
leaf of accidents from heavy batting none
were allowed in the enclosure.
Chad arrived first and threw his castor
into the ring and olfered to bet

agyinst a ticket for a Turkish

Chronicle
Bath on
first blood.
There were no takers, as every ball
player takes the Cln-owck; but none of
them cared about a Turkish Bath.
U Pake soon after appeared, and was
received with applause and music by the
band. Hugh 1. Blode, of the Rooster
club, was chosen Umpire, and play began.
The Chads went in first and we went,
out. We expected to have M. T. Jugg
for a pitcher, but he didn't appear, but
sent his cousin O'Tard, who pitched in
so heavily at the start that he hit the bats
man, cornered on the short stop, and
knocked the scorer out of time.
The Umpire cried fowl.
O'Pake wanted to know who he called
a fowl if he alluded to any of his nine.
He'd find there were no chickens in that
crowd.
Umpire apologized, and the game wed
on.
Chad got a splendid strike, got as far
as the second base, and was calculating
on a home run w hen our right field, who
was stationed on the corner of Washing
ton and Green avenues, caught the ball
on a fly.
Chad out.
Blister then took the bat ; he let fly at
the ball, but the pitcher dodged, got home
on bis bread-basket, and sent him to rasa.
First knock down for the O'l'akes
(Great cheering. )
Game suspended to take a drink.
Bloater then tried his luck at the bat,
which he bundled with great skill, but
failed to connect with the ball. He al
ways hit when the ball wasn't there.
Umpire ruled him out.
The O' Bakes then went in.
Chlorid O'Lime then took the bat, and

as soon as the ball cseie a'ong, sent it
back again, and started in pursuit of the
first base.'
Somehow the ball got there before he
did, and the chap who ran that station in
the Chad interest put him out.
0 Blique had the next chance. After
missing twice he got the range and made
a hit.
The ball cushioned on a house in Bed
ford avenue, caromed 0:1 the Hag-stafF of
the Capitoline headquarters, and was
caught on the bound by Casterile.
O'BIiquc out. j,
(Some mean person in the crowd cheer
ed. I afterwards heard that Casterile was
imported from Idaho, expressly to beat
u?.)
1 took a turn. The crowd suspended
Its breath.
It is a ciiticul moment in a man's life
when he stands for the first time with .in
exaggerated potato masher in both bands,
to protect himself from the designs of a
chap in front who is going to fire a ball at
him, another behind his back ready, to
take .any advantage of him, and all the
field before him.
But I stood a monument of resolute
firmness waiting for the bflh
It came, 1 saw, I hit, Ijrun.

This briMinnt play stirred up O'Pake,
who went in to beat it.

lie countered heavily on the ball which
went o!f to left field.
The ball was lost sight of for some time,
but by the ni I of the lV-lice 'Telegraph wo
ascertained that it had conic down in IVus
pect Park.
A committee was sent-after it in a
boggy.
.Meantime we took a recess for refresh
ments. f
O'Pake scored five home runs. He
might have made more, but he raid he
was not going to run himself out before
election.
O'Shaw took the bat ; being left handed
he knocked the ball round the corner. It
made a short stop on the Umpire's nose
and tupped his claret.
Fif blood for the O'I'Ojkes. .
Umpire got savage and ruled O'Shaw
out on ihe ground that this shot was coun
tpr.imco, oontmry to rule 1114.
1 his put our side out.
1 be Cliadists looked desperate and!
played as though they meant mischief.
They made one run owing to O'BIique. ;
O'Bliqoe was hit field, and having broke J
his eye glass looking so hard through it, !
had left the field, to get a new pebble in- '
serted, and didn't get back in time to find !
the ball before Casterile made a home run. ;
It was the miannist play I ever saw.
He went in and made another run, on
the bar, and told the barkeeper to score it.
We should have scored one, but the
umpire ruled us out on a technicality.
O'Lime had made the first base, when
O'Pake made a hit and changed his bace.
O'Shaw came after him and made a ten
strike and was followed by O Dear, who
made a foul, and was subsequently caught
out on a ily by the pitcher, when O'BIique
made a hit and ran and "ot to the second
base just as O'Shaw ha 1 made up his
mind I hat it was too hot to run, and O'
Pake refused to leave his base until he had
a drink. 'The field hands being iinablc to
find the ball the short stop was unable to
put anybody out, though they were all
out, at the bases, and the rest of our nine
having gone to see a man there was no
body to take the bat.
The Umpire, who was mad because we
hadn't asked him to take a drink, ruled
us out.
The Chads now squared for work, and
Blister having recovered himself, made a
hit and got his first base in good style.
Borax followed and got his second base
because the small boy 1 had hired to run
for me on loft field had run home to see if
his mothei wanted him.
Chamomile hit to centre field and
brought Blister home.
This was all the' made.
We went in again.
Things began 0 get mixed. It was
my turn at the bat and going in I found
they were going to play a double game,
two innings at once, to make if short.
There were six bases now.
Also two pitchers.
I grasped both the bats in both hands,
and stood on the two home bases.
The two balls came at once, and trying
to hit both I went between them, and
went down to avoid punishment.
The referee called time.
Asked what was trumps ?
Somebody said clubs.
Said I'd pass.
O'Pake insisted on my playing. Offer
ed to play muggins for drinks for the
crowd.
Somebody took me up and stood me on
the base.
The two umpires wanted to know if I
was going to play.
Told them it was none of their darned
business, I'd play them, or any other man,
seven-up, till moonlight.
Short stop put in an observation on see
ing 6tars.
As it wasn't bis put in, I stopped him
ALL, AUG SLAVICS UESJnE,
j AiOVt hy dropping the bat on his counte
nance.
The pitcher thought he'd pitch in, and
caught it on the frontispiece.
The phy began general.
Things became very lively, and the bat
ting very heavy.
I got mixed up with Casterile, Blister,
the Umpire,- and a camp-stool.
We went in without regard to innings.
We came out with heavy scores.
I saw somebody home, and have been
home ever since.
Base Ball has a singular etTL-et on per
sons unaccustomed to it.
My shirt, vest and trousers ripped in all
directions.
My head lias expanded and aches like
the mischief.
One of iny eyes don't match the other,
and rny nose is much enlarged and very
tc.-.der.
My limbs are iheumatically out of
joint, and I am out of sorts generally.
I don't think base ball is mv forte.
It's too vigorous. Something milder
would suit me better such as muggins or
euchre.

THE QUEER SKELETON.
I announce myself to the. reader as the
man who believes in ghosts perhaps.
At any rate, I believe in my father, and
he believed in the story i am about to re
late. Iy father resided at Inswieh mJ
rf 1 ,
once had occasion to go to London on
business. It wa? during a period of great
popular commotion, and the city being
ery fulk lc hail sumo troobla iu finding
a Iodizing. The master of the house ob
served that it was a good, largo room
tor he 00IJ got but one und very com
fortable, if he did not mind but bore lie
stopped, for his wife gave him a nudge,
that made my father suspect somelldW
was not right.
"Jt isn't over a slaughter-house or a
burial ground, or a dissecting room, is
it ?" says my father.
"Oh, dear, no!" says the landlord;
"but some people say the next house is
haunted ; and that everybody who sleeps
in this room can see a lady in white cry
ing at that window that you can see
there."
"Oh, is that all ?" saj s my father ; "per
haps there's some poor maniac confined
there. Whether or no, however, that's
110 objection, for I don't care ii 1 ush for
all the ghosts that ever were invented."'
Well, he took possession of the room,
and before night closed in he had an op
portunity of taking an accurate survey of
the neighboring premises. A lead roof,
apparently over a workshop, lay between
his window and that one where the gho.-t
was said to appear ; only there was this
difference, that he could easily step out of
hia upon the leads, whereas the neighbor's
was about nine or ten feet higher. My
father always vowed that he was perfectly
sober when lie went to bed. I Ie couldn't
tell how long he bad been asleep, when he
was suddenly awakened by loud screams ;
and when he opened his eyes be saw that
the opposite house was on tire. He was
out on the leads in a moment. The
haunted room was filled with bright flames,
and at the window stood a lovely young
woman, clasping a baby iu her arms, audi
screaming for help.
"Oh, save my child save my child !"
she kept on crying, in tones of such an
guish that they went into my father's very
heart.
"Give it to me," he said, "and then
jump out into my arms. The distance is
nothing : you cannot be hurt
T..!. ,.
' I ( tj IUU1 -
age ! Now, give me the babr
She leaned forward, and dropped the
baby, wrapped in a shawl, into my father's
arms. Just as he got it safe, it seemeel
to Vim that the roof fell in. There was
a crashing noise, but not very loud ; the
flames disappeared, and so did the young
lady. In at the window he rushed again,
and through the house, shouting "Fire !"
"fire 1" with all bis might, ainf with the
baby still in his arms. Out rushed the
landlord, as pale as a ghost, and bis wife
after him, in such a monument of anight
cap that it quite overawed ni"- father,
even in the midst of his agitation. The
maid was shrieking "Murder!" down in
the kitchen, and the apprentices had tum
bled out from under the counter in the

"It's only the ell story," said the land
lord. "Run up stairs, my dear, and tell
them it's a fal.-e alarm."
"But it is not a false alarm," says my
father, "for I saw the ilameSj and I saw
the roof fall in, and I fear that a latly is

The landlady then first set eyes on the
bundle, for her husband at that moment

bad very imperfectly illuminated the scene
before.
"A baby !" snys id.e".
"Yes," hivs my father, "and I think
I'd better leave it with you, ma'am, while
I go and endeavor tj rescuo tha mother."
The woman did not rpcak nor utter a
sound, but she just lifted up the shawl
from the child's face, and dropped down
like a lump of lead, upon the lloor. In
stead of attending to her, both my father
arid the landlord looked into the shawl.
It contained the skeleton of an infant,
wrapped up in the rags of "what had once
been very cot!y garments. My father
felt very sick, and the landlord staggered
baek ageing the wall and dropped the
candlestick out of his hand.
When tho landlady hdl (she v.-as a tall,

loiuh-r than ever, and the lodgers called
out yet more energetically to know what
wa3 the matter. That frightened the
landlord back to his senses ; tUr he thought
if they came down and saw what my
father had got, it would frighten them all
out of the h..u:-c .Sj ho caught up the
can. lie, winch, luckily was not extinguish
ed by the fail, and pushed my lather,
with hi? bundle, into the be.lrocin. Then
he culled out that it was only the strange
gentleman had had the nightmare, and
his wife had been frightened into a faint
ing fit. So they all went, grumbling,
buck to bed; and the man helped his wife
into her room, where my father stood
trembling and shaking, not having pres
ence of mind enough to put down the bun
dle, and not even daring to look into it
again.
Tha little skeleton was quietly buried
the next day by an old sexton, who asked
no questions, as he knew the landlord was'
a respectable householder ; and so they
all concluded that the ghost was satisfied,
as she nearer -appeared again.
When; tVther examined- the place
closely b! ojjght, he saw evident marks
of fire abobt-Tbe windows; but he was
assured these were the remains cf a fire
that had happened theie a great many
year before. In short; the whole, affair
of the apparition seemed to shroud some
fearful mystery, which was perfectly in

A few days since an Indianapolis family
had occasion to move. The direct line of
travel from the old to the new house was
past the stables of the Street Hal: way Com
pany. The lady had a large mirror, which
she concluded to carry in her hands to in
sure against accidents. Just opposite the
stables before mentioned something in the
street attracted hrr attention, and she stop
ped to look at it, resting c;i2 end of the
mirror on the curbstone. A small goat
of the. male persuasion loafs about the
stables, wasting hi.-; sweetness 0:1 the sur
rounding neighborhood, and having fero
cious combats with de-gs, hogs, and small
boy?. Wiilinrn was daintily nibbling at
a bundle of hay in the doorway of the
stables, when to his amazement he saw
what he took to be another goaf, saucily
shaking his horns at him.
No one ever doubted Billy's courage,
though his discretion has been repeatedly
called in question. Considering it a chal
lenge, he gathered himself on his feet, and
emitting a sharp, savage m-a-a, he sprang
into the air as if shot, from a catapult,
and dashed head, hom?, bod, and tail
through the mirror. There was a
frightened Fcrcam, mingled with the sound
of shivered glass, and the woman stood
amid the wreck of her pet looking-glass.
Bui Billy's blood was up. As she stoop
ed to save the. pieces, he "bucked" her
over, and repeated the operation as cften
as she tried to got up, until some of the
stable-men took him off.
The next day the outraged and insulted
woman called at the stable, represented
what the "nasty goat" had done, and
demanded S in payment cf the damages
to self and property. They promised to
inquire into it, and if the goat was found
to be to blame would settle up. Finally
the matter was compronised by taking the
mirror frame and agreeing to get a new
glass put in it. In the meantime, Capri
corn in under a cloud, and goes sheepishly
around with a pine board across his horns.
"Johnny," said a mother to a son nine
years old, "go and was'a your face I am

gravely, "I think it must be a moustache

REMARKABLE SUPERSTITION.
The Monongahchi IirpuMicaii has the
following: Not long ago the young and
beautiful wife of one of our citizens was
called to her final account, leaving her
husband disconsolate, pad, bereft. She
was buried in the adjacent cemetery, and
the husband returned to his desolate homo
but not to forget the loved one. She
was present with him by day in spirit and
in his dreams at night. One peculiarity
of his dreams, and one that haunted him,
being repeated night after night, was this,
that the Fpirit of his wife came to his bed
side and told him that tha undertaker had
not removed from her face the wpuarc
piece of muslin or napkin which had been
used to cover her face after death, but had
screwed down her coffin lid with it upon
her ; that she could not breathe in her
grave, but was unrest on account of tho
napkin. lie tried to drive the dream
awaVj but it bided with him by night and
troubled him by day. Ho f-ought the
ce'n-olations of religion ; his pastor prayed
with ami assured him that it was wicked
to indulge such moibid fancy. It was
fhe subject of his own petition before tho
Throne of Grace, but still the spirit camo
and teld anew the story of her suffocation.
In despair he sought the undertaker, Mr.
Dickey, who told him that tha napkin
had not leen removed, but urged him to
ferget the circuntance, as it could not
be any possible annoyance to inanimate
clay. While the gentlemen acknowledged
this, he could not avoid the apparition, an I
the continual stress upon his mind began
to tell upon his h-ahh. At length he de
termined to have the body dielnterred, and
visited the undertaker for that purpose.
Here he was met with the same advice
and persuasion, and convinced once more
of his follvj ihe haunted man returneel
to his home. That night, more vivid
than ever, more terribly real than before,
she cama to his bedside, and upbraided
him for his want of affection, and Would
not leave him until he had promised to
remove the cause of all her suffering. Ths
next night, with a friend, he repaired to
the sexton who was prevailed Lpon to ac
company them, and there, by the light ot
the cold, round moon, the body was lifted
from its narrow bed, the coffin lid un
screwed, and the napkin removed from the
face of the corpse. That night she came to
his bedside once more, but for the last
time. Thanking him for his kindness.
she pressed her cold lip3 to his cheek,and
came again no more. Header, this is a
true story ; can you explain the mysteries

There was once a very old man wdio
lived in the house of his son. The old
man was deaf ; his eyes were dim, and
his legs weak and thin. When he sat at
the table he could hardly hold his spoon,
so much did his band shake, and at times
he would spill his soup on the cloth.
All this vexed his son and the son's
wife, and they made the old man sit in a
Corner behind the stove.
There he ate his fbcxl from an earthen
ware dish ; and he had not always too
much to cat as you may guess.
Well, one day his trembling hands
could not bold the dish. It fell on the
lloor and broke. At this his son and his
son's wife were so vexed that they spoke
harshly to the old man. His only answer
was a deep, sad sigh. They then brought
him a bowl made of wood, out of whfch
he had to take his food.
Not long after this, his grandson, a boy
of about four years of age, was seen at
work with a chisel and hammer, hollow
ing out a h)g of wood.
His parents could not guess what ho
was trying to do. The little boy said
nothing to any one, but kept at work on
the log, and looking very grave, as if ho
had some great work in hand,
"What are you doing there ?" asked his
fa titer. The little boy did not want to
tell. Then his mother asked, "What art
you deing, my son "
"O," said he, "I am only making 'a
little trough, such as our pigs cat out of."
'But what are you making it for. mv
son?" ' J
"lam making it," said he, "for you and
father to eat out of when 1 am a man."
The parents looked at each other and
burst into tears. From that time forth
they treated the old man well. H0 had
the best place at the table, a nice dish
and plenty of food.
