The Great strasburg Clock.

Ths priests and military have retiral and
am now sitting 10 char facing the gigantic
cock-irOm the bottom to the top not loss than
one hundred feet, and about Thirty feet wide and
fifteen feet deep. Around me are many strangers
waiting to sec the working Of this clsck, as il
stris es tbs hour Of noon. IL wants five mlnu;ea
10 twelve The clock asstruok, aud tho people
are gone, except few whom he sexton or head
man, with wand and cword, is conducting
round tho building.
The clock has struck in tai, waY The dial
is sohe twenty feet from the floor. and on each
side Of which is a cherub ora little boy with a
mallsi, and over the dial is small bell The
cherub on tho left strikes the first quarter, that
on the right the second quarter. some fifty feet
above the dial, in large niche is huge figure Of
Times bell in his left, fcythe in his right hand.
10 front stands figure Ji young man with a
mallet, who strikes the thlrdquarter % tho bell
IN the hand Of Tune and then turns enc glides,
with SLOW step round behind Time shd then
comes out an old man WITH q mallet and places
himself in front.
As the hour Of twelve comes, the old man
raises bis msllet and deliberately strikes twelve
times on the bell that echoes through the build
ing, aud Is heard oil around through the region
Of the church. The old man glidaa behind father
Time, and the young man oones round again.
As soon as the old man has struck twelve and
disappeared, another set OF machinery is put 10
motlos, some twenty feet higher still 1t is thus
There is q high cross with the image Of Christ.
The instant twelve is struck, one OF the spoptes
walks Out from behind, comes in front, turns
facing the cross, bows, and walks on around to
his place.
As be does 80 another comes in front, turns,
bows, and passes in So twelve apostles, Gguro
large as life, walk round bow, and pass on. As
the last appears, an enormous cock, perched on
the pinnacle Of the clock, slowly fiaps It's wings,
| puts forth its neck, and crows three times, so
| loud as to be beard outside Of ths church for
somo distance. and so natural az to be mistaken
for cock. Then all is silent az death. No
wonder this clock is the admiration of Europe.

The late Rev. Zsb Twitchell was the most
n0led Methodist minister in Vermont for shrowd
and lSugbeble sayings. In the pulpit he main
tainoi suitable gravity OF manner and expres
sion, but out OF the pulpit he oyerN0wed with
fan. Occasionally ho would, If emergency
seemed 10 require, introduce something queer in
to q sermon for the cake Of arousing tho dag
glng attention Of his hearers. IL was he who
| originated the story Of the great musquitos.
Seeing that his audience were getting sleepy, b.
paused in his discourse, and dlgresaed 81 iol-
lowe =" Brethren, you haven any iloa Vi the
sOBerngs OF our missionaries IA the new ae.-
Elements 90 account OF the mu.quit)s. Pie mus
quitOs in some of those regions aro enormous.
A great many Of them will weigh pound, anG
they will got upon tbe logs and bark when the
missionaries are going along By this time
Gil eyes and ears were wide oren, and he pro-
eseded to finish his discourse. The next day
one Of bis hearers called him to account tor tel
ling lies in the pulpit. There never was q mus
quito that would weigh pound. But
aid MI say one Of them would Weigh pound ;
said great many Of them would weigh a
pound, and think million oi them would.
But you said they barked at tle missionaries y
no, no, brother, said they would get on tho
logs anu bark. If there was bark on tho iee4
they could MT get on the logs without getting
on the bark. p"
Mr.. TwItcbell was a very skilfdl musician,
and exoeled as a yi0llnist Before he entered
the ministry his services were in great demand
at balls, and were always abundantly recon-
pensed. After he lad preached awhile on very
small salary, and that not paid without much
and yexatlOus delay hia clothing began 70 be
too dilapldated to appear respectable. He
called on the stewards Tor money, but they neg
lected to furnish it, At last he called the al
tention Of the congregation to the subject BY a
few remarks On the subject. Brethren, this
was a very nice coat when had it, bus you see
it is getting thin and tbreadbare. 6ddled this
coat on my back end il | do MT get some Of
my dues for preaching pretty eo0n, shall iid'
die another one on. Tho money was forth
coming before many days.
When Mr.. rwitchell was presiding elder on
the Springfield District two brothers were
among the circuit preachers. To one of these
he said, d" George, you can preach great deal
better sermon than Charles, but you never will
be az popular preacher US he" e" Why not?
" Because you can't say how do you do s.,

we're pleased no slight adjunct, let me assure
you, to the success Of pretty face or pretty
dress. But the admired Of all beholder, the
daIzng queen OF the night was the lnperIa
hostess herself, whose toilette and brilliant ap-
pearsncs has been the theme Of conversation syer
since. A lady friend who was presented tha
evening assured NE that after gazing at her for
ieH minutes, the eye became absolutely wIth0u
vision, and the ohanaehvIs AND Hghts seempl
tuddenly to have become dim, so powerful ws'
the effect Of the ma" Of diamonds and gem,
with which the Empress dress was covered.
This unique costume, then, will attempt tC
describe, Tor the Amusement OF your fair readers
1t was composed Of light gluzy tissue Of mai,
color, worn over a satin skirt Of the same color
the thin material being disposed at the lower par
Of the skirt in vapoury folds, giving cloud-like
appearance TO the whole, and among which were
placed here and there variegated tulips Of ylr.ou'
shades, without leaves. Tbs body Of satin and
gsuze was terminated by bertha, entirely COM
posed Of diamonds, forming brilliant fringe,
amidst which hung suspended emerald drops Of
great beauty. A necklace to correspond snor
cled the neck, the effect being carried out above
by magnificent tiara Of emerAlds and diamonds
placed in the front Of the head, while streams OF
diamonds fell among the curls a, the back. But
the most novel and dazzling part of the toilette
consisted in girdls Of the same precious gems,
not worn close TO the wss', but hanging slightly
below il, over the tunic something 10 the same
style as we may have seen in pictures Of the rich
costumes Of the middle ages, or in those Of We
nitian danes
No words can give an idea OF the brilliancy
and eiee! Of this arrangement, and Of the dazzling
tOm ensemble Of The Empress appearance, as she
moved like a bright meteor through the rooms,
bowlng graeiously, and, as is her wont, having o
sweet smile and word for every one. That she
lsit every one slse, however fair, in the shade, is
In this instance no figure speech, but the strict
actuslity.
