Immediately after the striking of twelve,
twelve figures representing the twelve
apostles, each ono bearing the badge of his

DIMENSIONS AND OTHER FACTS.
The clock is wound up once in eight
days. 1t has but one principal movement,
which is governed by a regulator that beats
the second, which regulator, in its turn, is
regulated by pendulum and by an escape
ment garnished with precious stones. The
total height of the central or principal
tower of the clock is about sixty-four feet
The dial, which looks out on the Cathedral
square, is seventeen feet in diameter On
it are indicated the hours and their subdi-
visions, also the days of the week, in such
manner as to be clearly visible to persons
in any part of the square.
Such are some of the wonders of the
great clock at Strasbourg.

SnOwballing.
BY JOSIE s. HUNT.

The soft, loose gold of her tresses
/ Is straying about her face,
And the wind through its silken meshes
Is running frolcSome race.
Her violet eyes-how they darken and fash,
| Her rose-red checks, how they glow!
AS she stands, ankle deep, in the milk-white
drifts,
Pelting me with the snow.
She losses the soft flakes around her,
In her pretty hoydenish play,
Till she looks like a sea-nymph rising
| Through the pillows of foam and spray.
She molds the balls with her little bare
hands;
Do you think she would pout or scold
If | nestled the pink palms down on my
breast.
TO warm them they look SO cold!
Her white wool mits were flung on the snow
Each one in its self flake
And her silken scarf beside them lies,
Coiled up like crimson snake.
All about me the tracks of her soft brown
feet
Have printed the downy snow.
And know by them where, another spring,
The prettiest flowers will grow.
fly
Harmless over her head,
And she firts her curls in a saucy way,
And crOuches in mimic dread.
She calls me a sorry marksman,
An awkward fellOW-and still
The sly little witch knows well enough
1t isn't from lack of skill
She knows | would sooner think
OF tearing buttertiy's wing,
Or beating lily, or throttling
The first sweet robin of spring,
Than of aiming at her in earnest,
Or hitting her if could,
Or harming so much as tassel
OF her little scarlet hood.
Gay, beautiful Madge. Oh. what would she
do
If my mouth was half so bold
AS the crystal which falls on her lips and
her hair
Like pearls among rubies and gold?
viii her pride and her willfulness trample
my love,
AS her light feet have trampled the snow
That the missiles she filings, which are ice
to my face,
Are fire to my heart, does she know?
Sweet tease! does she guess am wonder
ing now,
Whether she'll ever be,
In the long, long future before us both,
Anything more to me
Than little hoyden, with wild, gold hair,
And rose red cheeks in a glow,
Who stands, ankle deep, in the milk-white
drifts,
Pelting me with the snow?

"a Few More Left"

The most renowned street-vender in
New York, or in the world, is Henry Smith,
the :" Razor Strop Man" of Nassau street.
Born in England, six months after Water
loo, his youth was rowing and dissipated,
and his devotion to drink gained him tho
sobriquet of cold Soaker" before he was
twentyone. Signing the abstinence pledge
for month, and then for life, he became
good husband, an industrious man, and an
ardent temperance advocate. In 1912 he
sailed in the Ontario for America. Land
ing in New York, he soon began to sell
razor-strops, and his street speeches were
such droll, witty, and sensible mixtures of
prose and poetry, that in three months he
made himself the prince of peddlers. His
sayings were chronicled in the papers, his
portrait was published in the Sunday atlas,
and he even appeared for seven nights at
the Olympic Theatre in Mitchelrs play of
the Razor Strop Man." His fame rapidly
spread, and he made the tour of the Union,
teaching temperance and selling his strops,
until his characterize saying, "a .feU
more left Of the same Sort" became ''house-
hold word.''
He achieved fortune in few years;
but the spirit Of speculation seized him,
and the crisis of 1857 swept away his last
dollar. With mistaken courage and a
fresh basket of strops he began life anew,
visited his native England and won much
reputation asa genuine Yankee peddler."
Returning to America, the war found him
at Rochester, where he enlisted in volun-
teer regiment. In his left leg he still car
ries Gettysburg musket-ball. When told
that it might be necessary to amputate
the limb, he replied, "Well, I suppose l
can afford to lose it, as I shall still have
one more left of the same sortv' The leg
was saved, but the wound disabled him and
compelled his return to Rochester, where
he served till after the close of the war as
recruiting sergeant, and in the soldiers
hospital. With purse from the city,
letter of thanks from the Mayor, and a
zouave uniform from his regiment, the
veteran vender returned again to New York
and became once more the Razor Strop
Man J." of Nassau street.
Age has whitened his close cut hair and
moustache, and the short growth on his
bronzed cheek and chin; and his witty old
time speeches no longer gather crowds Of
laughing buyers. But his eye still wrinkles
with kindly shrewedness behind his gold
trimmed spectacles, and his softly spoken,
"Here you are, young man - is often the
prelude to sensible and genial preachment
of temperance and the many virtues of tho
strops, razors, knives, and other wares that
overflow his red, white, and blue striped

4 Wonderful Clock.
THE ASTRONOMICAL CLOCK OF sTRAsBoURG

THE ASTRONOMICAL CLOCK OF STRASBOURG
AS many are aware, the Cathedral at
Strasbourg has had three wonderful clocks
the first constructed between the years 1852
and 1855, the second between the years
1917 and 1914, and the third and last, which
so high an authority as Archbishop Spald-
ing pronounces "onc of the greatest won
ders of the world,' between the years 1888
and 1912.
This clock is entirely the invention of
NJ. Schwiegui, and it is to description of
his fathers masterpiece, written by the
inventors son, as translated by Archbishop
Spalding, of Baltimore, that we are indebted
for the facts herein set forth.
The clock consists of three distinct COM
partments, or towers, one resting on the
top of the other, and each compartment
contains one of the sections" which,
standing by itself, would be marvel of
ingenuity, but when it is made to run in
harmony with the other parts, and to
respond to their most delicate oscillations,
it seems to pass the bounds of human skill.
At the base of the clock is polished cop
per sphere, with dial and hands to indi-
cate sMereM time. All the fixed stars of
the armament, down to the sixth magni-
nitude, numbering more than five thous-
and, are represented thereon in their true
and relative position in the heavens. This
sphere makes its revolution from east to
west in sideral day, which is three min
utes and fifty-six seconds less than mean
solar day. In it's gradual movements
around it's axis the sphere carries along
with it the various circles with which it is
surrounded, namely, the equator and the
ecliptic, while the two circles of the miri-
dian and the horizon remain stationary
1t indicates the precise time of the rising
and setting of all the fixed stars visible to
the naked eye at Strasbourg, and points
out the precise position in the heavens OF
each of them at any given hour. 1t makes
allowance for the procession of the equi-
noxes that is, the shifting forward of the
point at which the equator cuts the ecliptic
at each equinox, which, in the course OF
thousands of ages, will amount to COM
plcte revolution around some point in
space, a movement SO slow and so gradual
that it is generally left out in astronomical
calculations.

THE CHESAPEAKE OYSTER BEDs.-The
area of the oyster beds of the Chesapeake
and its tributaries is computed to embrace
5000 acres. These beds yield to commence
about %, 0OO, 900 bushels annually, and it is
stated that . sufficient quantity besides is
taken to form the chief provender of 20, 900
persons. We learn, from review of the
oyster trade of Baltimore fer the last year,
that the capital employed in the city in
carrying on the canning alone of the oyster
is 100000. About eight million bushels
of oysters are consumed by the packers
one-fouth of which are packed raw in cans
and shipped to various points packed in ice
while the remainder are steamed slightly
and sealed Theoretically in cans of one, two
and three pound each. The manufacture
of packing cases, tin cans, the printing of
labels ETC., constitutes in itself an immense
revenue, and gives employment to thousands
Of persons.

THE PERPETUAL CALENDAR.

Immediately behind the sphere is the
A metallic band in the form of ring,
only nine inches in breadth to nearly TWEEN
ty-nine in circumference, has marked upon
it all the indications of a perpetual calen-
letters, the names of the Saints, and all the
fixed festivals of the Church. This ring
advances one division each day, the move
ment taking place at exactly the previous
midnight A figure representing Apollo
stands at the right of the calendar, and
with an arrow points to the day of the
year and to the name of the Saint whose
festival occurs on that day. The calendar
makes it's annual revolution in 3G5 or 3GG,
according as the year is common or bissex-
tile, and what is more extraordinary, it
reproduces the irregularity of secular bis
sextiles-that is, it retrenches of itself
three days in every four hundred years.
At midnight, between the 31st of Decem-
Der and the LIST of January, the calendar
bears the inscription, 'Beginning of the
common year," but if it be leap year the
VOID common is dropped by the machinery,
and at the same time adds the Goth day to
February.
The calendar also indicates the morable
| feasts of the Church, such as Easter,
Ascension, &C., all of which place them
selves in their proper places on midnight
before January1.
THE EQUATION OF TIME.
The space within the calendar is devoted
to the indication of the apparent time, that
! is, of the time measured by the sun and
moon as we see them in the heavens, and
ut a glance the observer can see the equa-
ton of time, that is, the difference between
mean and apparent time. The dial which
denotes apparent time points out the rising
and setting of the sun, the apparent time
at any period Of the day or night, the
apparent diurnal revolution Of the moon
around the earth, its appal ent right ascen-
sion, and its passage of the miridian, the
phases of the moon and eclpses of the sun
and moon.

We know of at least one minister who has
laughed heartily over the story we will now
tell. A boy was sent from Groton, Connect
cut, to New London, one day last summer,
with bag of GREEN corn to sell. The boy
was gone all day, and returned with the bag
unopened, which he dumped on the floor,
saying, There is your corn, go and sell it
YOURSELF can't" ''Sold any z" "No,' said
the boy; "I've been all over London with it,
and nobody said anything about green corn.
Two or three fellows asked me what I'd got
in my bag and told them twas none of
their business" The boy reminds US OF bust
ness men who are to be found in every COM
munity who do not or will not recognize the
benefits of advertising their business. They
put their light under very large bushel--
pack their goods away in dark corners, for
fear that some one will find ont that they have
got something for sale.
