self, and now came plunging down the
stair case in the widest state OF alarm
what in the univarse is the matter with
| the clock.
Goodness only knows, replied the old
man. It's been hundred years in the
family and it never carried on so afore.
Whiz! ding! dingl whiz-z-z-z went
the old clock again.
It'll bust itselfl' cried the old lady,
shedding a flood of tears, and there won't
be nothin' left it,
It's bewitched said the deacon, who
retained leaven Of good old England
superstition in his nature. Any how,
said he, after a pause, advancing reso-
lutely towards the clock, I'll see what's
going on it.
Oh, don't cried his daughter, Selling
one of his coat tail, while his wife chung
to the other. Don't chorused both the
woman together.
Let 90 my raiment,' shouted the old
deacon. 8 / aint't afeerd Of the powers of
darkness.
But the women wouldn't let go; so the
deacon slipped out Of his coat, and while,
from the sudden cessation of resistance,
they fell heavily upon the floor, he pitch
ed forward and seized the mob Of the
clock. But no human power could open
it, for Joe was holding it from the inside
with death grip.
The old deacon began to be dreadfully
frightened. He gave one more tug, when
an unearthly yell as fiend in distress,
burst from the inside, then the clock case
pitched head-foremost at the deacon, fell
headlong on the floor, smashed its face,
and wrecked its fair proportions. The
current of air extinguished the lamp-the
deacon, the old lady, and Sally fled up
stairs, and Joe Mayweed, extricating him
self from the clock, affected his escape in
the same way in which he entered.
The next day all Appleton was alive
with the story Of how Deacon Barberry's
clock had been bewitched, and although
many believed his version, yet some, and
especially Joe Mayweed, affected to dis
credit the whole affair, and limited that
the deacon had been trying the expert
ment of tasting frozen cider, and that the
vagaries of the clock-case existed only in
a distempered imagination.
However, the interdict being taken off
Joe was allowed to resume his counting,
and won the assent of the old people to
his union with Sally by repairing the
old clock till it went as well as ever.

A Yankee Story.

About half-past eleven o'clock on Sum
day night, a human leg, enveloped in
blue cloth, might have been entering Dea-
con Cephras Barberrys kitchen window.
The leg was followed, finally, by the en-
tire person of live Yankee, attired in his
Sunday go-to-meetin' clothes. 1t was,
in short Joe Mayweed who thus burgla-
riously won his way into the deacon's
kitchen.
"Wonder how much the old deacon
made by orderin' me rot to darken his
door again p soliloquized the young gen
tleman. promised him wouldn't but
didn't say nothin' about winders. Win

Cold enough to freeze Polish bear here.
O, here comes Sally"
The beauteous main descended with
pleasant smile, tallow candle, and box
Of lucifer matches. After receiving rap
turous greeting, she made rousing fire
in the coolzing-stove, and the happy cou-
pie sat down to enjoy the SWEET interchange
of vows and hopes. But the course of
true love ran not whit smoother in old
Barberry's kitchen than it does elsewhere
and Joe, who was just making up his
mind to treat himself to a kiss, was star
tied by the voice of the deacon, her faith
err, shouting from his chamber door:
"Sally what are you getting up in
the middle Of the night for 2"
'sTell him it's most morning." whisper
ed Joe.
IT can't tell a fb," said Sally.
I'll make it a truth, then, said Joe;
and running to the huge old-fashioned
clock that stood in the corner he set it at
five.
''Look at the clock and tell me what
time it is, cried the old gentleman.
cts five by the clock" said Sally and
corroberating her words, the old clock
struck five.
The lovers sat down again and resum-
ed their conversation. Suddenly the
stair case began to creak. "Goody gra-
cious it's father, exclaimed Sally.

the clock-case.' And without another
word, he concealed himself in the case,
and closed the door.
The deacon was dressed, and seating
himself down by the cooking stove, pull
ed out his pipe, lighted it, and began de-
liberately to smoke.
sFive o'clock eh 2 said he. well, l
