Spring cannot catch between the Pins and cause the Watch to stop or gain time at an ¢y

unusual rate.

The Balance comes under the round, or edge, the strongest part of the case, not as with all others, under the center and weakest part.

The Main Spr ing Power is the lightest used in Amerizan Watches.

The calculation of the Train is such that this Watch runs 8 to 10 hours longer than others, with one winding, giving more uniform power and rate.

These are improvements that cannot be claimed by any other manufacturers, and once seen, all must agree with us in saying that this is the strongest and best Watch made ; and ith all the abore improvements, the Columbus Watches cost no more than others.

‘Hip, hip, hurrah! hurrah! ! hurrah! ! !” shouted the boys at the Granville school, throwing their caps in the air, turning hand- and otherwise expre their satis- faction at sight ot the akes, they were falling so swiftly, bringing them promises of unlimited sport that they were to enjoy on the coasting hill. ‘The old woman’s picking her geese,” “shouted Bobbie Green, ‘‘yes, and you shall be first on the feather bed, ” said Harry Somers, dexterously plunging him into a soft, fleecy drift, ‘‘and he must not slee p alone,” he continued boisterously, shoving another into the same bed, This was the signal for a gen- etal stampede, and soon there was such a confusion of caps, scarfs, mittens, boot heels and boys turned wrong end up, that I greatly féar Mother Goose trembled for the sdfety of her downy bed. But she is a good old soul, and I suppose realized that boys must have their fun, so she said nothing; but as soon as they had. arisen went. quietly at work to replace the feathers which they had so uncere moniously dispersed.

Just back of the school house was a long, steep coasting hill, which had so far during the winter, displayed a tantalizing bare sur- face, and how the boys longed for it to be covered, especially Ned Brown. Ned's father | was a farmer and did not believe in spending much on fol-derols, as he termed skates, sleds jand the various accompaniments that are so dear to every boy’s heart. Ned was twelve years old, and the only boy in school of that age who did not possess a sled. Being handy|& with tools he could have manufactured a very , good substitute, but he had no time excepting | Sundays, and he would as soon have thought of disobeying his father, as working on Sun- day, and he must manage some other way to | buy the cove ‘ted treasure. E arly in spring he ‘had commenced hoarding ir. anticipation of | the coming winter, and every penny that he /could obtain honestly, went to swell the sled fund. By the last of September he had saved }one dollar, but thought he, I will buy as good |a one as possible, to pay for my long waiting,

As Ned passed the drunkard’s way to the village that evening, through the dimly lighted window he could see Johnnie and his mother hovering over the old ¢ : acked stove, vainly trying to keep warm by the miserable fire, and the sight of the poor naked feet banished all thought of the sled which might have lingered in his mind, and he has- tened on, anxious to give Johnnie the pleasure which was ia store for him.

“* Mr. Jones,” said Ned, on arriving at store, ‘‘I have concluded not to take sled, that is if it isthe same to you.”

“* Certainly. it will be all the same to me, { can find sale for it any day,” said Mr. Jones good naturedly, ‘‘and now, my little man, what can I do for you?”

Ned selected the groceries which his mother had desired him to purchase, and then asked :

“Have you any stout bosy's shoes?”

“That i have. Some ‘stomers,’ replied the jolly merchant, producing them. ‘“ They are high ones, almost as good as boots,” he contined.

** The price,” said Ned.

** One dollar seventy-five.”

Ned hesitated tor a moment, and then said timidly: ‘I want them very much, but I have one dollar and a-half.”

‘* Well, well,” said Mr. Jones, vigorously applying tne peg cutter, ‘* vou shall have them. We won't let twenty-five cents stand in the way of a bargain.”

Ned took the money from his pocket and placed it on the counter. No need for him to count it. He had done that too many times to admit the“possibility of a mistake. The sight of so many small pieces of silver aroused good Mr. Jones’ curiosity, but not wishing to appear rude by asking questions, he asked in a careless way :

‘Hadn't you better try the shoes on, oy ? They look rather small for you.”

Ned hesitated for a moment, and then blush- ingly told the story of poor Johnnie's prayer. When he bad concluded, the good merchant added two pair of warm wvollen hose, and wrote on the paper containing ae sm, **In an- swer to Johnnie Black’s pray:

‘**T should really like to aritinihs the little fellow’s joy on receiving them,” said Mr. Jones, and calling to aclerk he said: ‘* Here, Frank, I am going out for a few minutes, you please atte ‘nd to business during my absence.”

** Yes, 0 ” respectfully replied the clerk, and Mr. Jones oo d his great coat, and ac- companied Ned as far as Johnnie’s house. They passed a short distance beyond the house and deposited the groceries in a safe

hut on his

nor his mother was attracted until the shoes struck the floor with a thud. Mrs. Black turned quickly. around, and. Johnnie clung

Johnnie’s curiosity had over- come his timidity, and he stood by fiushed and questioning excitedly while his mother undid the bundle. The moment the shoes were bronght to view his eager questioning ceased, and he stood regarding them with parted lips, clasped hands, and a lo rk of re- verential then burying his ace in his mother’s apron he sobbed in his ex« if joy. Mrs. Black, scarcely | less ithicted than Johnnie, waited for him to become calm, and then turning the parcel over she caught sight of the inscription, and exclaimed :

‘‘Why, Johnnie ! have you been praying for shoes?”

“Oh, yes, mamma! Do you think Jesus sent them’? You know you said if I would be a good boy Jesus would answer my prayer, and I tried hard to be good fer a long time, and then I prayed,and oh ! mamma. fe must have knowed what I was thinking, for I never said one word about stockings, and here they are- ! mamma,do you think Jesus sent

DearJesus, I do want to help mamma carry the clothes and bring

wood and water, and it’s awful cold to go barefoot. Now, dear Jesus, hear my prayer, for Christ’s sake. Amen.

In the dim light, Ned could see the pale features, pinched aud haggard from the want ot proper food and clothing. The closed eyes and bony hands raised in supplicating anxiety, ‘brought tears to his eyes, and the homeward journey was resumed in a very thoughtful mood.

‘* Ned,” said his mother after tea, ‘if you are not afraid I should like y fou to go to the village for me, Iam cut of Santer to-mor- row is baking day, and I shall want them early inthe morning. It will not be very dark, on account of the snow, snd you can get your sled and draw the groceries home on it if you want to.”

‘*Oh! I’m not the least bit afraid,” replied ' Ned. ‘‘ But,” he continued, hesitatingly and ; with a slight tremor in his voice, ‘1 believe} —I—will not get the sled.”

‘** Not get the sled!’ his mother echoed in surprise. ‘*I thought you had been watching

every snowflake, impatie ntly waiting for the ground to become covered. What has in- duced you to give it up when the coasting is so beautiful ?” Poor Ned! He was only aboy with a}

boy’s love of fun, and as his mother spoke he seemed to feel the thrill of pleasure and the | exhilirating breeze as it rushed past in nis long. descent down the coasting hill. He looked steadily out of the window for a mo- | ment, resolutely swallowed something hard | that kept rising in his throat, and said :

‘**Oh, I’m getting so large that I don’t c are! so very much for a sled, and if you are willing | that I should do as I please with the money will use it for something else.”

But do not let us forget to thank Him, and with the tears still stream- ing down her face, she clasped her hands around the child and knelt. And from the lrunkard’s lowly hovel ascended such a prayer of earnest, fervent thanksgiving, that the two spectators outside the window in- stinctively bared their heads and uttered a fervent ‘‘Amen” when it was finished. ‘*Perhaps,” said Ned, with a tremble in his voice, ‘‘Johnnie will always think some good angel brought his shoes and stocking.” ‘‘AndI am not so sure that he is

said Mr. Jones, grasping Ned’s hand and shaking it warmly. There are plenty of angels on earth, my boy. Pure, warm hearts

constitute them, and ]am sure a nobler one never beat under a small boy’s jacket.”

Many times during the winter, Ned met Johnnie toiling carefully through the snow, carrying to and from the village the clothes that his mother had washed,and as he extend- ed kindly greetings he would offtimes re- member the sled and think he was happier in the sacrifice than he would have been in its possesion, thus verifying the proverb. $<: is more blessed to give than to receive.”
