A Strange Story.

A truly melodramatc anecdote is In cir
culation in Paris, which must be accepted
without notarial vouching, but still as en-
dorsed by being given to the world by those
who are not ordinarily brauards. A Rus
sian noblemen, extremely wealthy and very
reserved and melancholy, has appeared Of
late in the best circles, to which he has had
most distinguished introducers. The Rus
sian became remarkable for weafing ring
of colossal proportions, covering nearly the
sntire finger, and Of singular appearance,
the centure being composed Of q substance
resembling jet, which was set in gold. No
one ventured to ssk the character Of the ring
or the cause Of It's being worn, and placing
the wearer, a studiously quiet man, in the
light Of being an eccentric individual, A
lady, however, who was piqued to know
something about the matter, at last mustered
The requisite courage, and said, "Monsieur,
every one Is very much struck with the
singular character of the ring your wear,
and Il forone should be delighted to know
its origin" The Russian made nervous
twitch with bis hand, as though he would
like to hide it, while he replied, MADAM,
the ring is not jewel, as you suppose, but
a tomb" The curious gathered round while
he cdntnued-"Tbis Jet substance is the
body of. my wife; she had horror of
tomb in Russia; she was Italian. promised
her | would guard her day and night dur
my life, anc she reposed inmy word, which
had never been broken. I took The body
of my wife to Germany. where the most
able chemist of the day promised to reduce
it, by powerful dissolyents and by g,eat
-compression to size which would enable
me to wear it as soarenir. For eigh;
days he labored almost constantly in my
presence, and I,saw the dear remains grsdu
ally dissolve and intensity the residue was
the corhpact mass which you seein the ring, :,
which is my dear wife, who, as I promised,
| will never quit day or night during my
life l.4 49,. ....... i.

The strasburg Clock.

The priests and military have retired, and
am now sitting in chair facing the gigan-
tic clock-from the bottom to the top not
less than one hundred feet, and about thirty
feet wide and fifteen feet deep. Around
me are many strangers waiting to see the
working Of this clock AIT strikes the hour
Of noon. Every eve is upon the clock.
1t wants five minutes to twelve. The clock
has struck, and the people are gone, except
a few wh hom the sexton or head man, with
a wand, and sword is conducting round the
building. ,asssi ti5H. ,sgnss.sf
"a The clock has struck Id this way: The
dial is some twenty feet from the floor and
on each side Of which is cherub or little
boy, with d malet, and over the dial is
small bell; the cherub on the left strikes the
first quarter, that on the right the second
quarter. Some fifty feet above the dial, in
large niche, is a huge figure of Time,
bell IN his left, a scythe in his right hand.
In front stands a figure Of young man
with mallet who strikes the third quarter,
on the bell in the hand Of Time, and then
turns and glides, with slow step round
behind Time, then comes out an old man
with . mallet and places himself in front.
Asthe hour Of twelve comes, tie 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 glides
behind Father Time, and the young man
comes round again. Soon as the old man,
has struck twelve and disappeared another
set of machinery is put in motion, some
twenty feet higher still. 1t is thus: There
is a high cross with animsge Of Christ on
1t. The instant twelve is struck, one Of the
apostles walks out from behind, comes in
front, turns facing the cross bows and walks
off around to his place. eg ts
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, perched on the pinnacle OF
the clock, slowly flaps his wings, puts forth
his neck. and crows three times, 80 loud as
to be heard outside Of the church to some
distance, aud go natural as TO be mistaken
for a real cock. Then all is silent as death.
No wonder this clock is the admiration of
Europe, 1t was made in 1871, and haa
performed these mechanical wonders ever
since, except about fifty years, when it
stood for repair. sse 7

0yeriwork.

,Unwise above many is the man who con.
siders every hour lost which is not spent 10
reading, writing, or in study, and not more.
rational is she who thinks every moment of
her time lost, which does not find her sew
ing. We,onee heard great man advise
that book of some kind be carried in the
pocket, to be used in case Of an unoccupied
moment~--such was his practice. He died
early and fatuous.e, There are omen who,
after hard days work will sit and sew by
candle Or gaslight until their eyes are almost
blinded, or until certain pains about the
shoulders come on, which are almost in
supportable, and are only driven to bed by
phycical incapacity to work any longer.
The sleep of the overworked, like that of
those who do not work at all, is unsatisfy-
ing and unrefreshing, both alike wake up
in WEAKNESS sadness, and langor, with an
result, both dying prematurely.
Let no one work in pain OF WEAKNESS.
When man is tried be ought to lie down
until he is faily rested, whep, with renosa-
ted strength, the work will be better done,
done the sooner, and done with aself sus-
tanned alacrity. The time taken from seven
Or eight hours sleep out Of each twenty
four, is time not gained, but time much
more than lost; We can cheat ourselves but
we cannot cheat nature. A certain nsmount
of food is necessary to healthy body, but
if less than that amount be furnished, decay
commences the very hour. 1t is the same
with sleep, any one who persists in allowing
himself lessthan nature requires, will only
hasten his arrival at the mad house or the
