AMONG THE MAGAZINES.
Fast and Sure.

Strong in the faith of woman
hit mine eyes to thine,
And feel thou art a true man
To love as fond as mine,
Fond as the flower that tuIneth
To where the sunbeans shine.
What need of words revealing
All thou dost know full wella
True love hath no concealing,
And eyes will secrets tell,
Love firm as rocks still Drawing
Unmoved the oceans swell. q
Within thy hand now laying is
My land / place secure,
Nor doubt nor fear betraying;
My faith is fast and sure
Fast as the twining ivy,
As oaks that storms endure.
Nay, if my pulses fiutter,
'Tis not the throb of fear;
My lips no word could utter,
OF doubt while thou art near;
So let my stay be ever
Thine arm so strong and dear.
Yes-draw me to thee nearer,
And whispering sweet and low,
In accents that are dearer
Than Ginning water s flow,
Tell me the love thou feelest
No change can ever know.
Oh! thus upon thee leaning,
As woman ever should.
Thy heart may learn the meaning
OF trustful womanhood,
Leaning on man her weakness
With strength to be endued.

Very Eggstraordinary.

Hamilton [Ga.) Special.
There is gentleman living in Hamilton to
whose system egg is poison A sip of coffee
settled with egg unsettles his stomach and makes
him sick. The presence of egg in anything he
eats nauseates him, and less than the twentieth
part of an egg has made him sick for days To
handle broken egg blisters his fingers and to
eat single egg, he thinks, would kill him, and
his friends who have noticed the effect eggs have
on his SYSTEM agree with him. His is a constitu-
tional antipathy to egg and he would decide in
favor of arsenic if forced to decide between an

Colfax's Farewell Address to the Senate.

Edmund Allen, liz March ST. Nicholas.
In the course of the proceedings of the Senate
on March A, 1875 one of the senators offered a
resolution. which was unanimously adopted, ten
dering thanks to Vice-president Colfax for the
manner in which he had discharged the duties of
chairman during the term in which he had pre-
sided over the deliberations of the Senate.
Not long afterward. Vice-president Colfax
arose and, stating that the hour had arrived for
the dissolution of the Forty second Congress,
proceeded, with considerable emotion to deliver
a farewell address to the Senate. During the
midst of this address, the hands of the clock
reached the hour of II. Captain Bassett went
to it and mounting ladder, turned
back the longer hand few minutes.
This was harmless trick that have often seen
played since, the minute hand being sometimes
set back as much as half an hour. The senators
and the Vice president always look innocently
some other way while it is being done as if I'M
conscious of the act. But everyone else smiles
at this subterfuge to gain time, and think the
senators themselves smile inwardy
After continuing his speech for short while,
the Vice president concluded:
But the clock admonishes me that the Fortysec
Congress has already passed into history; and wishing
you Senator's useful lives for your country and happy
ton spread upon your Journal and invoking the favor
of Him who holds the destnies of nations and of men
in the hollow of mis- hand am ready to administer
the oath of Office to the Vicepresdente elect whom
now introduce
Vice president elect Wilson thereupon stepped
forward, amid burst of applause, and from the
secretarys desk made brief address; and the
oath of Office was administered to him by the re-
firing Vice president.

The Superiority of "Grandfather,s Clock

If it were not for what may be designated as
meteorological changes the problem of the ac-
curate measurment of time would be solved if
we lad heavy pendulem driven uniformly over
a small arc. But here are two 'ifs." We will
take the second of them first as it is more easily
disposed of. Postulatlng at the outset machinery
in the train very nicely executed and with jew
eled bearings so that it will act uniformly, or
with the least possible variation, we have before
us the question of propeling it uniformly.
That the best power for clock is weight, is be-
yond dispute. The invention of the coiled spring
came near annihilating the race of good common
clocks "Grandfather's clock" with its wooden
wheels and other crudities is still the superior of
the grandson's clock as a time-k keeper, for
grandfather's clock" had the great adj
vantage of uniform power sufficient, ard
just sufficient, to propel the clock when it was

clock has coiled spring as motive-power,
having, when it is tightly wound, not less than
three times the amount of power required to
drive the clock and diminishing in amount,
thereby altering the rate of the clock. with each
