A Wonderful Watch.

The Mechanics Magazine says A re.
markable mechanical curiosity has recently
been constructed in london 1t is watch
belonging to a member of Parliament and
designed and made expressly for him by JAS
Ferguson Cole. the celebrated London watch
maker. This unique pocket chronometer as
a silver dial, on which are nine hands; indi.
eating respectively the hours, minutes and
seconds, the days of the week, the days of
the month, and the mouths of the year. 1t
corrects itself for unequal months-that is
to say, changes when they have thirty and
when thirty-one days, and also corrects itself
for leap year. 1t is so constructed that any
slight agitation of the watch, such as the
ordinary exercise Of walking, winds it up.
Thus it may be worn and will go perfectly
tor years without requiring even TO be open
ed, although it can also be wound by key
in the usual manner. The dial is arranged
in five circles, and within the largest the
hour circle) there is semi circle showing
the moons age and phases by means of gold
on ground of blue Steel At the back of
the watch is gold indicator for ascertain
ing the time in the dark by touch. The
complication of the mechanicism may be
imagined, and yet the watch is of ordinary
dimensions and may be conveniently worn
in a gentleman pocket 1t cost the sum IF
three hundred guineas a

WHAT Is A DARLING.-It is dear, little,
beaming girl who meets one on the door
step; who filings her arms around one 5
neck, and kisses one with her whole soul of
love; who seizes ones hat; who relieves
one of ones coat. and hands the tea and
toast so prettily; who places her elfish form
at the piano and warbles forth unsolicited,
such delicious songs who casts herself at
ones footstool. and clasps ones hand, and
asks eager, unheard ofquestions, with such
bright eyes aud flushing face, and on whose
light lossy curls, one places ones hand and
breathes t'God bless her ~ as the fairy
form departs. But there is an angel follow
ing her footsteps who is not visible to US,
but who is anxious to bear our darling from
us, and in the mind s eye its white shadow
fits between us and the darling of our
hearth.

KIND INQUIRIES Kate was a
sweet, wide beauty of about seven
teen, and she took It In her head to go down
on Long Island TO see some relations of hers
who had the misfortune to live there. A
song those refsffcas there chanced to be a
young swain who had seen Kate on previ-
Gus occasion, and seeing, fell deeply In love
with her. He called at the house on the
evening of her arrival, and she met him on
the piazza, where she was enjoying the even
ing air in company with two or three of her
friends. The poor fellow was so bashful
that he could not find his tongue for some
time. At length he stammered out:
How your mother ?"
Quite well, thank you.''
Another silence on the part Of Josh, du-
ring which Kate and her friends did the best
they could to relieve the monotony After
waiting about fifteen minutes for him to
commence to make himself agreeable, he
again broke the spell with
How your father p which was answer
ed much after the same fashion as the first
one, and then followed another silence like
the other.
How your father and mother p again
put in the bashful lover.
Quite well, both of them" This was
followed by an exchange of glances and a
suppressed smile.
This lasted some ten minutes more, du-
ring which Josh was fdgetine in his seat
and stroking his Sunday hat. But at length
another question came
"How's your parents ?''
This produced an explosion that made
the woods ring.

How MANY MILES PRINTERS HAND
IRAvELs.-Although printer may be sit
ting all day, yet in his own way he is great
traveller, Tor at least his hand isl as We shall
prove. A good printer will set 5000 ems a
day, or about "a 900 letters. The distance
travelled by his hand will average one foot
per letter going to the boxes in which they
are contained, and of course returning, ma
king two feet for every letter he sets. This
would make distance each day of 4S, 900
feet or more than miles, and in the course
OF year, leaving out Sundays, the member
travels about 5000 miles. Truly this as
hand power.
