Great Eaters.

In the time of Charles the First, Tay-
lcr, the Water Poet, gave an account
OF one Nicholas Wood, Kentish man,
who had power of slowing away a
marvellous quantity of food at a meal.
He was credited with having on one
occasion devoured whole raw sheep;
on another, three dozen pigeons; on
third, several rabbits; on fourth,
eighteen yards of-black pudding, while
on two other occasions the figures set
down were sixty pounds OF cherries and
three pecks of damsons But it will be
better to disbelieve these statements,
and attend to the more moderate though
still startling account given by Taylor,
that 1.-TWO loynes of mutton and one
loyne of veal were but as three sprats
to him. Once, at Sir Warham st.
Leger's house, he showed himself so
violent of teeth and stomach that he
ate as much as would have served thir.
ty men, SO that his belly was like to
turn bankrupt and break, but that the
serving man turned him to the fire,
and annointed his paunchon with grease
and butter to make it stretch and hold;
and afterward, being laid in bed, he
slept eight hours, and tasted all the
while, VIII ich, Wien the knight under
stood, he commanded him to be laid in
the stoc ks, and there to endure as long
as he had lain bedrid with eating" In
the time of George the First there was
man who, in fit of religious enthusi-
asm, tried to maintain Lenten fast of
forty days and forty nights. Breaking
| down in this resolution after few days
he took revenge on himself by becom-
ing an enormous eater, devouring large
| quantities Of raw flesh with much avid
ity. Somewhat over q century ago a
Polish soldier, presented to the court
of Saxon as marvel Of voiacity, one
day ate twenty pounds of beef and half
of a roasted calf. About the same time
a youth of seventeen, apprentice to a
Thames waterman, ate five pounds of
shoulder of lamb and two quarts of
green peas in fifty minutes.
An achievement Of about equal glut.
tony was that ofa brewers man, who,
at an inn in Aldersgate street, demol-
ished a roast goose of six pounds weight,
a qua rtern loaf and three querts of por-
ter in an hour and eighteen minutes.
Early in the reign of George the Third,
a wa tchmaker's apprentice, nineteen
years of age, in three quarters of an
hour, devoured leg of pork weighing
six pou nds, and proportionate guam
tity of peas and pudding, washing
down these cOmestibles with pint of
brandy taken off in two draughts. A
few years afterwards there was beggar
at Gottipgen, who on more than one
occ aston ate twelve pounds of meat at
meal. After his death his stomach,
which was very large, was found to
co ntain numerous bits of flint and other
odds and ends, which nature very prop
erly refused to recognize as food In
fact, set ting aside altogether the real or
alleged ating up of a whole sheep or
hog, the instances are very numerous
in which joint su fficient for a large
family has disappeared at meal with
in the unworthy corpus of one man.

a WoNDERFUL CLOCK "A clock has
just been completed for the cathedral of
Boauvals, France, which far surpasses
all the existing specimens Of the clock
makers art. 1t contains not less than
10000 wheels, and indicates, among
other things too numerous to recite, the
days of the week, the year, the signs of
the zodiac, the equation of time, the
planets, the phases Of the moon, the
time at every capital in the world, the
movable feasts for a hundred years,
saints days, &c. Perhaps the most cur
ious part Of the mechanism is that
which gives the additional day in leap
year and which, consequently is called
into action only once in four years. The
clock is wound up every eight days.
The main dial is twelve feet in diane
ter, and the total cost exceeds $4,000.

"A Long Walk.

In 1882 Thomas Penn contracted with
Tedyuscung and some others for title
to all the land in Pennsylvania to be
taken off by a parallel latitude from
any point as far as the best of three men
could walk in q day, between sunrise
and sunset, from a certain chestnut
tree at or near Bristol, ina northwest
direction. Care was taken to select the
most capable for such a walk. The
choice fell on Jame| Yates, native of
Bucks county, tall slim man of much
agility and speed of foot; Solomon
Jennings, a Yankee, remarkably stout
and strong; Edward Marshall, q ma.
tive OF Bucks county, noted hunter,
chain carrier, etc., large, heavy set
and strengthened man.
The day Zone of the longest in the
| year, was appointed and the cham
pions notified. The people collected at
what they thonght the first twenty
miles of the Durham road to see them
pass. First came Yates stepping as
light as feather, accompanied by T.
Penn and attendants on horseback.
After him, but out of sight, came Jen-
nings with a strong, steady step; and
not far behind, Edward Marshall, ap-
parently careless, swinging hatchet
In his hand, and eating dry biscuit.
Bets ran in favor of Yates. Marshall
took biscuit to support his stomach,
and carried hatchet to swing in his
arms alternately, that the action in his
arms should balance that in his legs,
as he was fully determined to beat the
others, or die in the attempt. He said
he first saw Yates in descending Dur
ham creek, and gained on him. There
he saw Yates sitting on log, very
tired; presently he fell off and gave up
the walk.
Marshall kept on, and before he
reached the Lehigh overlook and passed
Jennings-waded the river at Beth
lekem hurried on faster by where
Nazareth stands, to the Wind Gap.
That was as far as the path had been
marked for them 10 walk on, and there
was collection OF people waiting to
see If any of the three would reach il
by sunset He only halted for the
surveyor to give him pocket compass,
and started again. Three Indian run.
ners We're sent after him to see if he
walked it fair, and how far he went.
He then passed to the right OF Pocono
Mountain, the Indians finding it diff.
cult to keep in sight, till he reached
Still Water; and he would have gone a
few miles further but for the water.
There he marked tree, witnessed by
the three Indians. The distance he
walked between sun and sun, not being
on a straight line, and about thirty
miles of it through the woods, was es-
timated to be from one hundred and ten
TO one hundred and twenty miles. He
thus won the great prize, which was five
hundred pounds in money.

Tho Two Church Builders,
by JOHN q. SAKE.

III JUN b' SANE.
famous king would build a church,
A temple vast and grand;
And that the praise might be hIsown,
He gave strict command
That none should add the smallest gin
TO aid the work he planned.
And when the mighty dome was done,
Within the noble frame
Upon tablet, broad and fair,
In letters all aname
With FURNISHED gold. the people read
The royal builders name.
Now when the king, elate with pride,
That night had sought his bed,
He dreamed he saw an angel come,
"a halo round his head,)
Erase the royal name, and write
Another in It's stead
What could it mean? Three times that night
That wondrous vision came;
Three times he saw that angel hand
Erase the royal name,
And write n woman's In its stead
In letters all aflame.
Whose could 1t be? He gave command
To all about his throne
To seek the owner of the name
That on the tablet shone
And SO 1t was the courtiers found
A widow poor and lone.
The king, enraged at what he heard,
Cried, Bring the culprit herer'-
And to the woman trembling sore,
He said, "'Tis very clear
That you have broken my commando
Now let the truth appearl"
Your Majesty" the widow said,
81 can't deny the truth;
love the Lord-my Lord and yours
And so, in simple sooth,
broke your Majesty's command
Il crave your royal ruth!O
And since had no money, Sire,
Why-I could only pray
That God would bless your Majesty;
And when along the way
The horses drew the stones-I gave
To one wisp Of hay;"
"Ah now l see," the king exclaimed,
"Self-glory was my aim;
The woman gave for love of God,
And not for worldly fame
'Tis my command the tablet bear
The pious widows name!"

A Pneumatic Tube Four Hundred Miles Long

The following extract describes the op-
Grafton of n pneumatic tube between Glass
gov and London. Probably few of our
readers are aware of the existence of the
process by which messages and packages
are almost instantaneously transmitted be-
tween these two cities. L had occasion to
send telegram to London the other day,
and in a few minutes received a reply
which led me to suppose that serious error
had been committed by my agents, inyol-
wing many thousand pounds. | immedi-
ately went to the telegraph office, and asked
to see my message. The clerk said 1--WE
can't show 1t to you a. we have sent it to
London" what do you mean ?" | asked.
Pray, let me see the paper left here half
an hour ago" "Well, said he, "if you
must see 1t, we will get it back in few
minutes, but it il now in London" lie
rang a bell, and in five minutes OF so, pro-
duced my message rolled up in pasteboard.
Ii seems that for some months there
has existed pneumatic telegraph betwiXt
Glasgow and London, and betwiXt London
and the other principal cities of the King
dom, which consists of an iron tube, into
which the messages are thrown and sent
TO their destination. | inquired If might
see message sent "Oh. yes, come round
here.n He slipped number of messages
into the pasteboard scroll, popped it into
the tube and made signal. put my ear
to the tube and heard slight rumbling
noise for seventeen seconds when n bell
rang beside me, indicating that the scroll
had arrived at the General Post-Ofttco,
four hundred miles Off! 1t almost took
my breath away to think of it. If could
only go to Boston with the same relative
speed, you might count on my passing an
evening every week ut No. IA Beacon
street, and returning home to sleep. Who,
knows but we may be conveyed in this
marvellous manner before many years?
Perhaps you are aware that there has
been alarge tube between the General Post
Office in London, and the stations in Eus-
ton square, in operation for a number of
years. The mail bags for the north are all
sent by this conveyance, so that the Post
office receives. letters up a few moments
before the train leaves, three miles Off
The transit takes less than two seconds
Surely this il an age af wonders"

A KISS AT THE boon.

We were standing In the doorway
My little wife and l.
The golden sun upon her hair
Fell down so silently,
small white hand upon my arm,
What could ask for more
Than the kindly glance of loving eyes,
As che kissed me at the door,
know she loves with all her heart
The one who stands beside
And the years have been 30 joyous
Since frat / called her bride
We've had 30 much Of happiness
Since we met in years before.
But the happiest time Of all was
When she kissee me AT the door.
Who carce for wealth. of land or gold,
Of fame, or matches power?
II does not give the happiness
OF Just one little hour
With one who loves me as her life
She says she loves me more y
And l thought she did this morning,
When she kissed me at the door.
AT times il seems that all the world
With all its wealth of gold,
Is very small and poor indeed
Compared with what hold
And when the clouds hang grim and dark,
/ only think the more
OF "onc who waits my coming step
To kiss me at the door.
Ii she lives till age shall scatter
The frost upon her head,
I know she'll love me just the same
As the morning we were wed
But if the Angel call her
And she goes to Heaven before.
| shall know her when meet her,
For she'll kiss me at the door.
