AWOODSAWYER'S S STORY. BY QUIDBLER. In passing along a Street in St, Louis last summer, I came upon 4 @an sawing woo!.

The of bis character, it must was wather prominent, tor he was alway going about without any particular mm. But the gentleman side was not so easily seen, as he never ap- peared to have a willing hand for saything that would in reality help himself or greatly benefit anybody else. “His conduct highly exasperated bis father,my uncie’s brother, Aaron, 3s much so that he not only cut the | young man off in his will, but tor giany years declared that while ke hyed he should not enter his house.

The ‘wo ededient sons, who were wealthy and settled by this time, provided a magnificent coffin, came with their lamilies, and marked all faces. The mother’s grief would have been lightened a little if the sadness third son could have made his ap- pearance. But he was not there; though it was known to certain ot tae mourners that he was married, and lived in a humble way in a dis Sant part ot the city. “The dead men was carried tohis grave betore a long The last artav of care hages. duties performed aan ordetly manner, one spear a ua ng Rs station, and the mother, w Weepir ditterl\, leaned upon her two child er support, while they, wath downecast eyes and slow and measur td tread, led her away trom the reshly turned mold in the direction wher home. “Rut there was one person in the gvaveyard that day who lingered Senger.

Then fee would wander off again, and so kept on until the dews of night be- gest fall, when he left the place aad went away. “The httle property that was left by my uncle’s brother was soon di- waded between the two dutiful sons, aedthe mother took up her abode swith the eldest. There, in an ele gesily turnished room in a Stately €aSy mansion resumed and although beginnir ot years, she was industrious— at home. and prepared to fee “After a time her grief was healed and she began to pass her remaiming days in quiet | comtort 1f she could not be absolutely p remembrance The ye who was her young- knitting—for, | i | that beg | attet chair | former son, but a day or two atte | shelter, and | tor her eyes often fillea est, troubled her much, for she h acl | heard not a word in regard to him | for years.

Tf ber last me had been splendid, this new one was really na nt. The ri oi carpets Were spread upon the floors of her apartinents, and costly mirrors hung upon the walls.

So laced herselt cosily by the fire, again resumed her knitting, and in ti became re- markably weil satshed with the change, which she begun to look upon as all for the best. She would even have hummed a tune at times if it had not been for the recollection gnawed Lke All she off her ot her third child, whic acanker at her heart, things in at considered, however, was, her view, much better than her former pl: for protector had 1umense est itamily, and her own individual wants were few. old 1 sought the lady’s room also and after clearing his throat two or three times—for it Was in June, and h oni e hada very bad that the price of matches had advanced, pins . were g cold—went o tell her Oing up, and he must cut down his expenses or he would be a } ruined bes! had two children to support, he sa and in the face of all that, the next change of the moon woul ty, bring a ra Ces, man; ail probabih- 1 d, whic w cause a rot in the cocoanut crop, and that would involve the failure of a muller in Madagascar who owed him three cents, and then they wou! uld all go to the together. **He then dilated upon the wisdom ot that public sentiment, which, in a country like ours, Prepared for the comfort and convenience of the aged, or such as desired to retire from the cares and anxieties ot an outside world, and urged that it was the duty ot all persons whose necessities had outgrowa their ability to make the suitable provision to take advan- tage of this beneficence, and he hoped she would think the matter over in its proper high, and agree to accept that which was by right her own, and which was cowing to her from society at large. “My uncle’s brother’s wite made no reply to this man’s remarks any more than she did to those of her pure, | her in the mansion she had just lett. t will | But she res life and | tottered I tell | 2 oman,—man | of way, | gold | she departed from the ample root srudged to her feeble limbs a by the aid of a cane and much inquiry got at length upon the the alms-house. street that led to could | She moved along slowly toward that | building, feeling her way at times, h tears! ot ber! when she thought of the ingratitude | | of her two children.

The many great improvements intro- duced in the manufacture of the Jas. Gold Watch Case, have led to similar im- provements in the making of silVer cases. Under the old methods, each part of a | silver case was made of several pieces of | metal soldered together, requiring a great | amount of cutting and soldering, which softened the metal and gave it the pliability | of lead rather than the elasticity of silver. Under the improved methods, each part of the Keystone Silver Watch Case is made of one solid piece of metal hammered into shape. The advantages are readily appar- ent, for every one knows that hammering hardens the metal while soldering softens it. To test the superiority of the Keystone Silver Watch Case, take one of 3 oz. weight, press it squarely in the center when closed, and it will not give, while a case of same weight of any other make will give enough tobreak the crystal. The Keystone Silver Watch Case is made only with silver cap and gold joints.
