THE WONDERFUL CLoCK-Thc following is
all account of the celebrated clock, at Stras-
bourg, on the Rhine, as given bya correspond
ent now travelling in Europe:
Our next stopping place was StrasbOurg on
the French side Of the Rhine. The cathedral
here is of red sandstone, and is very large
The spire is very elaborate and runs up to the
enormous height Of 474 feet, said to be the
highest in the world. The interior of the
cathedral is quite plain, and contains the
wonderful clock that has made Strasbourg
celebrated the world over. 1t is in one corner
of the cathedral, and is certainly curiosity.
a crowd collects in front Of it every day at
twelve o'clock to see it go through its perform
ances The clock indicates eclipses Of the sun
and moon days Of the week and month, rise
and setting Of the sun and moon each day, and
various other astronomical calculations. 1t
keeps figure of the sun and moon in motion,
and each day of the week is represented by a
chariot with horses, which comes out one side
of the gallery, and, during the day, passes
round to the other side and disappears. Two
little angels sit in front of the clock; one
strikes a bell every quarter OF an hour, and the
other, at noon, reverses the hour glass which
he holds in his hands. In the gallery above a
skeleton, with scythe in one hand and bell in
the other, stands in the centre. From little
door at the side, four figures. boyhood, youth,
manhood and old age, issues; one, each quarter
of the hour, march across the gallery, strike
the bell and walk very naturally to the door
on the other side and disappear. At twelve
at noon the skeleton strikes the hour upon his
bell and old age comes ont and strikes the
four quarters and retires. Below the angel re-
verses his hour glass; and above, in the upper
gallery of all, the twelve apostles march out III
succession and bow to the Saviour as they pas,
Him, who raises his hand to each in the act Of
blessing them. They pass on and disappear
on the other side. On pillar at the side a
cock flaps his wings and crows loudly and very
naturally three times. The clock was foul
years building, and is decidedly unique. The
figures are about a foot in height

THE STRUGGLE IN ITALY.--GARIBALDI AND |
THE PoPE-Travellers have often encountered
in Rome, walking alone i'll the streets, unac-
companied by attendants, and trusting CONT
dently to the affection which his character in
spired, pleasant-lookiBg and benignant old
gentleman, whom everybody seemed to respect
and love- His body stopped little from age,
but his countenance was one of uncommon
sweetness, and if you had not known that he was
Plus the Ninth, the spiritual head OF hun
dred millions of Christian worshippers, you
would have taken him for mild, genial, bene-
VIOLENT merchant, retired from business, but
wealthy withal, and intent upon using his
wealth for the good of others, rather than tor
his own pleasure. In Florence, about the same
time, there was another person, equally short
but broad chested, and limping, not quite SO
old as the former, with more daring and
lively eye, but no less mild in his manners, no
less gentle and benignant in expression. That
was Garbaldi, the partisan chief, the enthusi-
astic reformer, the bold and disinterested
champion Of the rights of nations and OF the
people. Personally, he is even more popular
than the Pope, and for the same rcaSon8-hls
gentleness of character, his simplicity, his
honesty, and his devotion to his followers and
his objects.
These men represent causes which are at
deadly feud with each other, and one or the
other of which must go down in the struggle
now raging in Italy. The Pope, besides his
spiritual supremacy, holds a temporal power,
which is exercised in the heart Of Italy, like a
kingdom within kingdom, and which he and
his advisers deem it Indispensable to his eccle-
siastical prerogatiye that he should continue to
hold. He alleges in favor of it the traditions
of a thousand years, and the right Of actual
possession. Garibaldi on the other hand, self
impelled, with no prescriptive rights, no right
at all but such as is derived from what he con-
siders truth and justice, asserts the principle
of nationality. The Italian people, he says
are entitled to the government Of the whole O
Italy. Already they have won from the
foreigner or from Austrian and other princes

dependencies, and several of the Papal Lega

When lady (perhaps gentleman may ex
perience similar feelings) has donned her we'd
ding-dress, and the cake is all cut, she does not
fancy having the important ceremony indeh-
nitely postponed. And in some cases the spe-
cial indtrtiuGL seems to be of minor impOr
tance, provided only the great event can be
brought about. Not long ago. somewhere in
Connecticut young lawyer wOOed and won
young war widow. The day for the marriage
was fixed, and all arrangements made but at
the appointed hour the bridegroom came not.
Inquiries were made, and it was proved that
he had left town. The bride was disconsOlate,
the friends outraged Worse than all, the
dinner was getting spoiled by waiting Seeing
the state OF affairs, one Of the invited guests,
middleaged farmer, who had been a secret ad-
mirer of the bride, and whom she had engaged
before the lawyers advent, stepped up, offered
to take the groom's place, and was accepted.
They were married, ate their dinner, and pro-
mise to make happy couple.
This reminds us of an incident that occurred
many years ago in a quiet little town in Maine.
The gentleman in this case was young but
somewhat eccentric clergyman, who had offer
ed himself more than once to young lady to
whom he was much attached, and pressing his
suit, but all in vain. She would not marry
him. Time wore on, and the young clergy
man, wanting wife, but seeing no hope OF
gaining his first love, proposed to another lady,
and was accepted. The wedding-day came,
the guests were assembled, the bride in readi-
ness, and the bridegroom also. But just be-
fore the ceremony was to be performed a note
was handed to the bridegroom. 1t was from
his fair, tickle love, saying she had changed
her mind, and would have him The astonish
ed man declared nothing would tempt him, un
der these new circumstances, to marry the cX
pectant bride; and presently sensation wa
produced among the waiting guests by the an
nouncement that the ceremony would be indifi
nitely postponed. Aud so indeed it was. Blu
the gentleman married, after while, the lad,
of his choice, with whom, however, as nigh
