ornaments, and his ideas were not as clear,
by any means, as usual.
Before he could utter more, he was upon
the side walk, and the door of the house was
closed and fastened. Mrs. Brown retired
oxultingy to her dreams, while Mr.. Brown
upon his arrival at the station-housc, was
thrust ignominiously into one Of the dark
cells, and left to mediate at his leisure upon
his humiliating position.
When, the next morning, Mr.. Jedediah
Brown made his appearance before the mag
strate, escorted by his captor Of the night
previous, he presented an aspect truly dcpo-
rable. He was not the Jedediah Brown Of
former times, and it would have puzzled his
nearest friends to recognise him. The work
ing Of his mind. and the liquor hehad drank,
had left him in a miserable plight.
The justice, putting on his severcst frown,
inquired into the particulars Of his case
Turning to the prisoner, he said

Mrs. Brown did NOT Immediately reply
She looked for a moment into the face Of her

GREAT CLOCK.

Henry C.. Wright, in a letter to the LdJer-
ator, thus describes the great clock in the
Cathedral at Strasburg:
Tho priests and military have retired, and
] am now sitting in a chair facing the gigant-
ic clock-from the bottom to the top not less
than 100 feet, and about 80 feet wide and Is
deep Around me arc many strangers wait
ing to sec the working of this clock rs it
strikes the hour Of noon. Every eye is upon
the clock. It now wants five minutes of
twelve. The clock has struck and the peo-
pic are gone, except a few whom the sexton,
or head man with a wand or sword, is con-
ducting 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 a
cherub, or little boy, with mallet, and over
the dial is small bell the cherub on the
left strikes the first quarter, that on tho
right the second quarter. Some fifty feet
over the dial, in a large niche. is huge
figure Of Time, bell in his left, scythe
in his right hand. In front stands figure
Of young man with a mallet, who's trikes
the third quarter on the bell in the hand of
Time, and then turns and glides, with slow
step round behind Time, comes out an old
man with 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 echoes through
the building and is heard all round the region
Of the church The old man glidcs slowly
behind Father Time, and the young man
comes on readily TO perform his part, as the
old man has struck twelve and disappeared.
another set Of machinery is put in motion
some twenty feet higher still. II is thus:
there is high cross. with the image Of Christ
on it. The instant twelve is struck, one of
the apostles walks out from behind, comes in
front, turns, facing the bows, and walks on
around to his place. As he does so, another
comes out in front, turns, bows, and passes
in. So twelve apostles, figures as large as
life, walk round, bow, and pass on As the
last appears, an enormous cock, pcrched on
the pinnacle of the clock slowly flaps its
wings, stretches forth its neck and crows
three times, so loud as to be heard outside
the church to some distance. and so naturally
as to be mistaken for real cock Then all
is silent as death No wonder this clock is
the admiration of Europe. 1t was made in
1871, and has performed these mechanical
wonders ever since, except some 80 years,
when it stood out OF repair"
