A Cbo,ter About Clocks.

1Iaroun Il Eascl lid, in $50, sent q clock
10 Charlcmagne, which was so arranged
that horscmen came forth from it, and dis
played themselves at the hour Of twelve.
SO the gohrmand Trimalclio kept a clep-
sydria in his dining room, with trumpet
er stationed to announce the hour.
Since the fourteenth century, clocks
have been placed upon stceples and other
conspicuous public buildings, in order that
people of cities and large towns might have
uniformity, as well as facility in obtaining
clock time. Hence a simultaneousness Of
movement in all large cities, at appointed
hours.
Fanny Kemble gave to tho town Of New
England. where she has her cottage perch,
a clock with such an enormous dial that
the time may be see a mile or more.
An old gentleman, though mlserly, gave
to his native town a clock for the old
church with three dials, and his name en-
blazoued for time, perhaps, on one of them.
He alleged as his reason, that he liked to
have his money where he could hear it
tick.
General Washington would not wait for
guest, if, deceived by a bad whatch, he
did not oome to dine at the hour appoint
ed.
. A nobleman celebrated for punctuality,
who was TO meet the king at twelve, was
startled by tho striking of the clock as he
was passing the ante chamber. Enraged,
be smashed the dial with his cane. 'Wby
did YOU strike the clock?" said the king
Sir said he, the clock struch first
The English Board OF Longitude reward
ed Harrison With 100000 for marine
watch which determined longitude at sea.
He also invented pendulum consisting ol
nine rods, five of which were iron and four
brass. Ordinary Pendulums went faster in
winter than in summer, because cold con-
tractod and heat elongated them. These
improved pendulums, being made of diff.
ferent metals, compensated or equaled
those effects, and now, it is said, there are
chronomcters which do not vary one stroke
of the pendulum in year. This brings
us as near to true time as We can ap'
proach.
As for watches, they do SO notoriously
disagree that they can only be regarded as
aids to guessing time rather, than as Tins
keepers. In China they are worn in pairs
and so one served to correct the other.

Three Jolly Husban,ls.

The three jolly husbands, cut In the
country, by the name Of Tim Watson. Joe
Brown, and Bill Walker. sat late one eve
ming at the village tavern, until being pret-
ty well corned, they agreed that each, on
returning home should do the first thing
that his wife told him. in default of which
lie should pay the bill next morning, and
give an honest account of their proceed
ings at home, SO far as they related 10 the
bill.
The next morning Walker and Brown
were early a. their posts, but it was some
time before Watson made his appearace.-
Walker began first:
You see when entered my house. the
candle was out, and the fire giving but a
