An Electric Clock.

simply pendulum, an electric magnet and two
armatures. The vibrations of the pendulum
break and close the circuit of electricity, while
the combined action of the electro-magnet and
armatures keep it in motion.
at is a clock that runs without weights or
spring or any thing of the kind. Its moving
power is galvanic battery, which requires a
small quantity of sulpphric acid once or twice

delicate, a copper plate buried in the ground
will keep it in motion. There is no friction to
overcome save the suspension points Of the pen

Cloves.

Cloves nre the unopened flowers ofa small
evergreen tree that resembles in appearance
the laurel or the bay. 1t is II native of the
Molncca, or Spice Islands, but has been car
ricd TO all the warmer parts Of the world,
aud is largely cultivated in the tropical re-
giOns of America. The flowers ARE small in
size, and grow in large numbers in clusters
AT the very ends of the branches. The cloves
we use, are the flowers gathered before they
have opened, aud whilst they are still green.
Alter being gathered, they are smoked by n
wood fire, and then dried in the sun. Each
Glove consists of two parts, u round head,
which is the four petals or leaves of the
flower rolled up, enclosing n number OF
small stalks or filamenis. The other part of
the Glove is terminated with four points, and
is, in fact, the lower-cnp, and the unripe-
seed vessel. All these parts nIny he distinct
y shown il n few leaves nre soaked for n
short time in hot water when the leaves of
the flowers soften, and readily unrol. The
smell of cloves is very strong aud aromatic,
hut not unpleasant. Their taste is pungent,
acid aud lasting. But the taste aud smell
depend on the quantity OF oil they contain.
Sometimes the oil is separated from the
cloves before they nre sold, aud the Odor aud
taste in consequence is much weakened by
this proceeding.

Kindness.

A little spring had lost its way
Amid the spring and fern
A passing stanger scoopcd a we'll,
Where weary men might turn;
lie walled it in, and hung with care
A ladlo at the brink
He thought not of the decd he did,
But judged that toll might drink.
He passed asain-and 10 the well,
BY summer never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parching tongues,
And saved life beside.
Smooth ard cheerful of aspect are the fa-
miliartics of every day life; but who can mis-
take their rowing glanccs for the stcadfast, tear
full, unfathomable eyes of friendship ! There
was an everlasting truth in tho words of that
woman who, when asked why her love and in
terest clung so closely, so obstinately, unceas-
ingly around one whom the world neglected, and
who, perchance, deserved its neglect, said, al
have wept with him." And who questions the
eternity of tie thus cemented; We are Joined
together as by nails which pierce as they unite,
but which cannot be extricated without shiver-
ing the wood they have penetrated.

Presence Of Mind.


The herdsman Of a farm in Scotland had oe.
casion, lately, to send his daughter for the cat
tic under his charge. There were about eighty
Of them, and among them two bulls, one OF
which was occasionally in the habit of assault
ing people. On the day in question the dam
sci unwarly approached the bull too closely,
when he Immediately gave chase. On level
field, without dykes, bogs or any other place OF
refuge to resort to, what would the reader have
done-sor, to run home, distance of there
quarters of mile, was out of the question:
The girl, with great presence of mind, ran over
to the other bull-a good natured animal, and
much stronger than her assailant. Standing
close by his side, and tapping him kindly on
the back, she drove him toward her fathers
honse, followed by her enraged enemy, who
kept roaring and fuming all the way but when
he came too close, her protector turned round,
and with shake and toss of his head, kept
the assailant at bay. In this manner the fugi-
tive arrived safely at home.

The World Harvest.

They are sowing their seed in the daylight fair,
They are sowing their seed in the mondays
glare,
They are sowing their seed in the soft twilight,
They are sowing their seed in the solemn night.
What shall the harvest be /,
They arc sowing their seed of pleasant thoughts;
In the springs green light they have blithely
wrought;
They have bro't their fancies from wood and
dell,
Where the MOSES creep and the flower buds
swell.
Rare shall tho harvets be.
They are sowing the seed of word and deed,
Which the cold know not nor the careless need;
OF the gentle word and the kindest deed,
That have best the heart in its sorest need
Sweet shall the harvets be.
And some are sowing the seed Of pain,
Of late remorse and maddened brain;
And the stars shall fail, and the sun shall wanc,
Ere they root the weeds from the soil again.
Dark will their harvest be.
And some are standing with idle hand,
Yet they scatter seed on their native land;
And some are sowing the seed of care,
Which their soil hath bore and still must bear
Sad will the harvest be,
They are sowing their seed of noble deed,
With a sleeplcss watch and earnest heed;
With a ceasless hand DER the earth they SOW,
And the fields are whitening where they go.
Rich will the harvest be.
Sown in darkness, or sown in light,
Sown in weakness, or sown in might.
Sown in mcekness, or sown in wrath,
In the broad work-feld or the shadowy path
Sure will the harvest be;

Gentle Words.

A young rose in summer time
Is beautiful to me,
And glorious the many stars
That glimmcr on the sea;
But gentle words and loving hearts,
And hand to clasp my own,
Are better than the fairest flowers,
Or stars that ever shone.
The sun may warm the grass to life.
The dew the dropping flower, [ligh
And eyes grow bright and watch the
Of autumn's opening hour;
But words that breathe of tenderness,
And smiles we know are true,
And warmer than the summer time,
And brighter than the dew.
It is not much the world can give,
With all its subtle art,
And gold arc gems and not the things
To satisfy the heart,
But, oh if those who cluster round
The altar and the hearth,
Have gentle words and loving smiles.
How beautiful is earth

Laughter.

Laughter very often shows the bright side
of u man. 1t brings out his happier uature,
aud shows of what sort OF stuff he is really
made. Somehow we feel us if we never
thoroughly know man until we hear him
laugh. We do not feel "at home" with him
till then. We do not mean a mere Singer,
but good round hearty laugh. The solemn
sober visage, like Sundays dress, tell moth
ing about the real man. lie may he very
silly, or very profound; very cross or very
jolly. Let us hear him laugh, and we can
decipher him out at once-tell how his heart
heats. Carlyle says-"That no man who
has once heartily and wholly laughed can be
he altogether and irreclaniably bad. Much
lies in laughter,the cypher key wherewiIh we
decipher the whole man Some men wear
nn everlasting barren simper; in the smiles
Of the others lies cold glitter as of ice the

litter, aud singer from the throat outwards,
or at the best, produce some wl,illling husky
cachinaiion, as il they were laughing through

who cannot laugh is only fit for trensons,
strntagens, or spols; aud his whole life is
already treason or a stratagem.
