A WONDERFUL CLOCK.

Mr.. Felix Meier, of Detroit, Mich,
after nearly ten years of patient labor, has
produced clock which, not excepting
that of Strasburg, is the most wonderful
clock of the world. 1t is Is feet high, s
feet wide, 5 feet deep, and weighs 1000
pounds. The framework is of black
walnut and elegantly carved. Washing
ton sits beneath the marble dome with a
colored servant on either side guarding
the doors. On the four corners of the
face Of the clock are four figures, en-
blematic of the different stages Of human
life: two are females, one holding an in
FAINT, the other with a child; the third is
man of middle age, while the fourth is
figure of an old gray bearded man. All
these figures have bells, each with a tone
in keeping with the age represented.
The infant strikes its sweet toned bell at
the first quarter hour; the larger bell of
the youth rings out at the end of the halt
hour, followed by the strong resonant tone
of the bell of middle age at the third
quarter, and the hour closing with the
mournful bell of the aged man. Death,
represented by a carved skeleton just
above the clock face, then strikes the
hour, at the same time carved cupid
pops out on either side, with wings. to
indicate that times flies. This is fol-
lowed by sweet music, when Washing
ton, rising from his chair, presents the
Declaration of independence, and door
on the right is opened by the servant, and
each of the Presidents, donned in the
costume of his time Including President
Hayes, files before the Father of his
Country" face him, and raise their
hands, walk across the platform and pass
out of sight, at door which is after
wards closed by the second rvant.
Washington takes his seat, and all is
quiet again save the heavy tick of the
wonderful time keeper. Though such a
clock shows good deal of ingenuity, it
is of little practical value.-Amencan

Uncle Esek's wisdom.

There is no suffering equal TO fear, for
1t has no limit.
Charity Is a first mortgage on every
human beings possessions.
Tie more virtuous man is the more
virtue does he see in others.
A man cannot do good nor evil to
others without doing good or evil to
himself.
Those men whose brains are few but
active, are the most successful in busi-
ness.
A weak man is worse than IN insane
one, tor the latter may be cured or kept
harmless
Men owe their resolution. and most oi
their success, to the opposition they
meet with.
Mankind all suffer alike, but some
know how TO conceal their troubles bet
ter than others.
One reason why we all grow wise %
slowly, is because we nurse our mistakes
too fondly.
He who loves to read. and knows how
TO reflect, has lsid by perpetual feast
for his old age.
The divinity OF charity consists in re-
lieving a mans needs before they are
forced upon US.
A man is great, just in proportion to
his superiority to the condition Of life in
which he is placed.
There is no strength in exaggeration; (;
even the truth is weakened by being
expressed to stongly.
A strong man is one whose passions
stimulate his reason and whose reason
controls his passions.
Unfortunately, the onlypedigee worth
having is one that can be neither trans
mitted or inherited.
One Of the kindest things heaven has
done for man is denying him the power
of looking into the future.
Monuments do not prove very much
after all; some of the wiast and best
men who have ever lived a:e buried, no
one knows where.
1t is generally safe to converse freely
with an unreserved talker. but when .
mAn lets you carry on all the conversa-
ton It is well to be on your guard, for
the probability Is, he is taking your
measure Seri6ner's NGodsiss
