"OW It came to pass, that in the 41 <t year of the reign of Victoria the Queen that there was a certain city built the plains, and the people of this city were a very busy people and TIME was precious unto them, even like gold and silver and precious stones ; and it came to pass that the artificers who divided the time between the rising and setting of the sun, and of dividing the houis thereof, said—Behold t* is people which is gathered here together, from all p*rts of the earth and from among all nations ; behold ! they have gotten houses and la"ds and cattle, and are filled with the good things of the earth, let ustheiefore lay upon thtm burdens grievous to be borne aud make them pay unto us portions of their possessions, that we too may speedily become rich: and it was so And the people groaned under their heavy burden —And be hold, in th« fullness of time a man appeared in their midst whose surname was R 'TLAND, a jvatohmaker, and he abode in the street which is called < olombo. And he cried unte the people and said, come unto me, I will deliver you and release your yoke from off y< ur shouloere ; for behold, he cried, I am a work>r in watches and clocks and in gold am', silver and precious stones, and I will wo-k for you, take away your trouble, - and I will clean your watches and your clocks for five shillings each—ye shall no longer pay ten pieces of silver as heretofore but five. And he stood forth and cied, yet again—lf you will give unto me but a small p rtion of what ye have given nnto others, beh Id then your wives and your daughters fhatl wear chains of gol* around their necl.s, and bands of gold and of silver upon t"eir arms, and rings upon iheir fingers and in their ears. And moreover he said, I will give unto you that which i« desired of all mm and which shall be of service to thee; and I will sell unto thee watches which no man can surpass for two pounds each. And it was so that the people flocked unto him, and did buy of him, for he dealt fairly with the people and sold unto them goods which no man c mid surpass, tf nd lo ! he remaineth in the city unto this day.
