VALUABLE WATCHES.
A story is told of an English nobleman who was showing two or three of his beautiful watches to a friend. Being jostled by a passer-by, the friend accidentally dropped two of them on the floor. He was very profuse with his apologies for his awkwardness, to which the nobleman replied : ‘ Oh, pray don’t mention it, my dear friend. It’s the first time I ever saw them go together.’
