Great Clock.


Henry G. Wright, in letter to the
Liderator, thus describes the great clock
in the Cathedral Of Strasburg: Fl
"Tho priests and military have reti-'
red, and am now sitting in chair IA
cling the gigantic clock--from the bottom
to the top not less than 100 feet and
about thirty feet wide and fifteen deep
Arouno me are many strangers, waiting
to see the working of this clock, as it
strikes the hour OF noon Every eye is
upon the clock. It now wants five min
utes Of twelve. The clock has struck, and
the people are gone except few whom
the sexton, or head man, with wand
and sword, is conducting round the
building. The clock has struck in this
way The dial is some 20 feet from the
floor, on each side of which is cherub
or little boy with mallet, and over the di-
al is asmall bell. The cherub on the left
strikes the first quarter, that on the right
the second quarter. Some fifty feet over
the dial, in large niche, is a huge fig
ure of Time, a bell in his left, a scythe
in his right hand In frost staEls fig
ure of young man with m&)let, who
strikes the third quarter on tht bell in
the hand of Time, and then turns and
g'ides, with slow step, round b. hind
Time Then comes out an old man with
a mallet, and places himself in front of
him.
As the hour of twelve comes, the old
man raises his mallet, and deliberately
strikes twelve times on the bell that ech-
oes through the building, and is heard
all around the region of the church,
The old man glides slowly behind Father
Time, and the young mau comes on
readily to perform his part, as the time
comes round again. As soon "a the old
man has struck twelve and disappeared,
