Another English Enoch Arden.


Upward of twenty years ago a husband
man, native of Cumberland, married
girl belonging to the county. The newly
married couple went to reside with the
brides friends. The bridegroom. how
ever, could not agree with them, and in
the course of few months he left his wife
and went away, no one knew whittier.
The woman had reason to believe that her
husband, after leaving her, took his pas
sage in the Inflated steamer London,
which, in the year 1866, founder
cd on her voyage to Australia. See
Ing in the list of those who persisted a
name similar to that Of her husband, the
woman concluded that he was dead.
Shortly after her husbands departure she
gave birth to a daughter, and the two
lived together for a long time without any
particular incident occurring to change
the current of their daily life. After wait
ing Tor many years the woman married
miner residing in aYillage near Maryp0rt,
and the pair have since lived happily to-
gether. The daughter of the first husband
is now married, and has gone to NeWcas-
tie to reside.
A few days ago the first husband made
his appearance at the residence of sis
ter in Wigton, and to her he stated that
he had been for some time living in New
castle. He then made inquiries respect
ing the wife he had left, and was sur
prised to hear that he had married
daughter living in Neweastle-the very
town that he had himself been residing in
and that the wife he had deserted was
married again. His sister was unable.
however, to give him the address of his
daughter, and after waiting upon some of
his relatives at MarypOrt-t0 whom he
announced his intention of search
ing for the daughter he had never
seen-he proceeded to the resi-
dence of his wife, not far from the town.
III order to obtain his daughters address.
The second husband was not at home
when the wanderer made the visit. and
the woman was in the house alone He
knocked at the door. When the woman
opened it, she failed to recognize him and
asked him what he wanted. The man
asked if she had daughter alive. and if
so, where she was living. The woman
wished to know his reason for asking
such a question, and inquired if he was
any relative of her daughters husband.
No. he replied; Il am nearer relative
than that"
The woman then invited him into the
house, and gave him the address, which
he put into his pocket and prepared to
leave the house. As he was crossing the
threshold he turned, and, looking her full
in the face, said, "Well, Eliza, YOU have
got married again, and | hope that you
will do well by your husband and live
comfortably. l am your daughters
father"
The poor woman knew him then. and.
almost fainting, cried in a thrilling tone,
sob, Jim! - but before she could recover
her cvmposure he had walked away. He
has since left the county.

Old Clocks,

The old BRASS clocks went only thirty
hours, and were set III motion by a
weight attached to chain which passed
over sheave having spikes in the
groove which caught in the links of the
chain and required to be drawn up ev-
cry day. There was q counterpoise at
the other end of the chain, and some
times single weight was contrived to
serve both the going and the striking
parts, and there was occasionally an
alarm. On the introduction of the long
pendulum, clocks seem to have assumed
a different character Catgut was sub
stituted fm the chain, and barrels were
introduced. on which the catgut was
wound up, and, a greater length of line
being employed, clocks were made tos
for eight days instead of thirty hours,
and a chime Of bells playing every quar-,
ter of an hour was often added; the
weights and long pendulum hung down,
and as there was danger of their action
being interfered with, tall wooden cases
were made to protect them, on the TOP
of which the movement was, placed.
This was, l believe, the origin and date
of the tall upright clock cases, which
were often made of ornamental woods
and enriched with fine marquetry. ]
have one myself in an early marquetry
case, made by Thomas Tompion, with s
beautiful set of chimes, about 1890, and
it is an admirable timekeeper. though
it has only the original iron wire for the
pendulum rod and similar instances
are numerous. The earlier cases are
made of oak and walnut, the mahogany
cases being of the following century
when that wood was introduced. The
brass ''button and pillar clocks" seem
to have gone out of use about this time
and probably few were made at the enc
of the seventeenth century; but thai
will appear more clearly if | receive
many communications from the owner.
of dated examples. With regard to thu
name of brass clocks, have heard then
called very many years ago ''buttor
and pillar clocks" The meaning ana
origin of the name I cannot tell, unless
it is derived from the pillars at the cor
ners and the hook or button on which
the clock may be hung up against the
wall.-NOteS and Queries.
