The late Jeremiah Curtis, who recently
died in New York, told a story of how he
and his wife came to Maine cher native
State.) She expressed wish to visit the
home of her childhood, which had now
passed into the possession of strangers.
Thither they went. and upon entering the
house she discovered that the old family
clock was standing in its place as she had
known 1t in her childhood days. She ex-
pressed wish that we might purchase it,
if the owners could be induced to sell. A
proposition was therefore made for the
purchase of the old clock. finally accepted,
and the price, fifty dollars. was paid. The
clock was packed and sent to Brooklyn.
and taken to shop for complete renova
ton and repair.
The clockman reported the clock a val
liable one, saying that it was of German
manufacture. and that it was not less than
$50 years old. and that it was good for an :
other $50 years. Then Mr.. and Mrs
Curtiss consulted together, questioning
among themselves if tfey had not paid too
small sum for the clock. considering its
reported value.
In order to quiet their consciences in
the matter they resolved to send the peo-
pie of whom they purchased the clock an
other sum of money. and accordingly $3.50
was sent. By return mail a letter came
from the mother of the family, acknowl
edging the receipt of the money. and
thanking MIR. and Mrs. Curtiss most heart
lily, saying IS That money came straight
from Heaven: for demand had Just been
made for payment on the mortgage on
our place. and we had not the money to
