MINUTE MECHANISM.

There is a cherry. stone at the Salem
Mass. Museum which contains one dozen
silver spoons. The stone itself is of the
ordinary size, but the spoons are 80 small
that their shape and finish can only be well
distinguished by the microscope. Here is
the result of immense labor for no decid-
eddy useful purpose and there are thou
sands of other objects in the world, FASH
Toned by ingenuity, the value of which, in
utilitarian sense, may be said to be quite
as Indifferent. DR.. Oliver gives an &C.
count of a cherry. stone on which were
carved l24 heads, so distinctly that the
naked eye could distinguish those belong
ing to Popes and Kings by their miters
and crowns. It was bought in Prussia
for fifteen thousand dollars, and thence
conveyed to England, where it was con-
sidered an object of SO much value that its
possession was disputed, and it became the
object of suit in chancery. One of the
| Nuremburg top makers inclosed in cherry.
stone, which was exhibited at the French
Crystal Palace, plan Of SebastopoI, a
| railway station, and the Messiah" of
Klopstock. In more remote times, an &C.
count is given of an ivory chariot, con-
structed by Mermecides, which was go
small that fly could cover it with his
wing also a ship of the same material,
which could be hidden under the wing of
bee Pliny, too tells us that Homer's
Iliad, with its fifteen thousand verses,
was written in SO small space
as to be contained in nutshell while
Elan mentions an artist who wrote a dis.
itch ia letters Of gold, which he inclosed
in the rind of kernel of corn. But the
Harleiau Ms. mentions greater curiosity
than that of the above, it being nothing
more nor less than the Bible, written by
one Peter Bales, chancery clerk, in so
small book that it could be inclosed with.
in the shell of an English walnut. Disraeli
gives an account Of many other exploits
similar to the one of Bales. There is a
drawing of the head of Charles H. in the
library of st. Johns College, Oxford,
wholly composed of minute written charac.
tiers, which at small distance resemble
the lines of an engraving. The head and
ruff are said to contain the Book of Psalms
in Greek and the Lords Prayer. In the
British Museum is portrait of Queen
Anne, not much larger than the hand. On
this drawing are number of lines and
scratches, which, it is asserted. comprise
the entire contents of a thin folio. The
modern art Of photography is capable of
effectins wonders in this way. We have
before us the Declaration of Independence,
containing 1880 letters, on space no
larger than the head of pin, which, when
viewed through microscope, may be read
distinctly.

raised the curtain and looked out. She
was, standing with one hand against a
pillar of the veranda, looking sadly after
him. He watched her until he was whirled
swiftly down the avenue and out of
the gate; then shrubbery and walls came
between them, and hid her from him. He
never saw her after that.
He often wondered whether, if he had
known her better, she would have reigned
supreme in his heart over all other women,
or whether in a longer. companionship the
charm would have vanished. Now and
then hewould meet bright, loyable girl
who seemed not averse to win her way into
his heart, and he would be half ready to
admit her. But at the boundary line. of
that woman's kingdom dream maiden
stood and waved back the intruder, and
when he felt inclined to quarrel with her
arrogant dominion, the dark eyes which
met his accusations with conscious power
smilingly lured him back to the past, and
the shadowy hand. which put away rival
was lifted tenderly to his lips to receive
once more that farewell kiss, now grown
into pledge Of constancy.
