Easter SONG.

When Earth's long night was past
Darkness was merged in light,
And wave and shore at last
Welcomed the gladdening sight;
Sing, stars OF morning, sing,
Ye have been silent long;
Sing! once the sous of God
Rejoiced to hear your song!
Another night is done,
A brighter morning breaks,
And waiting hope. reborn.
With gladdening smiles awakes.
Wake, every flower of spring!
Henceforth from this glad hour
With fragrant pulses sing,
The grave has no more power!
Let every hill rejoice,
The valleys shout and sing,
Lifting each tuneful voice
He comes, our risen King!
Wake, sl,;rl bering heart, awake!
Thy I-o.d is risen, he waits,
And pleads for entrance while
He staads beside thy gates;
Sing, every heart; each room
Rescdnd, silent before.
Nor keep the Prince of Peace
Waiting beside thy door!
Glory to God, the theme
Fill all the vault above!
Glory to God, the dream
Song of redeeming love!

LARGEST WATCH Finished.
Mammoth Timepiece Required Year
to Build and Cost $4,000.


The largest watch in the world
has just been finished by watch
manufacturing company Of Boston.
The mammoth timepiece was built
for a watch company in Manhattan,
which will pace it in the front of its
Fulton street store for advertising
purposes. Work has been in progress
for some time on the foundation, and
it is expected that the watch viii be
in place and indicating the time of day
in about week. 1t is not an adver-
Using watch in the sense that such
instruments usually are, but it is a
timepiece of the highest order. The
works are equal to any that have ever
been made, and the unusual size of
them makes it possible to employ ad-
justments and error-correcting devices
that could not be. used in an ordinary
watch. Beside the usual adjustments
for heat and cold, ETC., that are to be
found in all good works, this watch
contains adjustments for correcting
astronomical variations and changes
of cycles. In addition to this the case
is plated with 22-carat gold.
When placed upon its seven-'oot
pedestal the top of the timepiece will
be fifteen feet above the sidewalk,
To the pedestal will be affixed several
long rods that will extend through the
sidewalk and will be bolted to the
cellar foundation. The watch has no
back, but is double dial, so that tn :
time may be distinguished from both
directions. At night the interior will
be Illuminated with electric lights, so
that the dials can be seen at a dis
lance of several blocks. The faces of
the watch are more than four feet
across. The watch, including the
stem and ring, is about six feet high.
The timepiece had to be made I'M
usually thick in proportion to the
diameter, as the lights inside could
not be brought into close contact with
the dials and works. But its thick
ness of two feet will not appear to be
so great, as it is surmounted by an
immense stem ten inches in diameter.
The crystals are three feet in
diameter and will produce telescope
effect to the distant observer, so that
the hands can be readily distinguished
for blocks away.
Several thousand dollars worth Of
22-carat gold will be used in the case,
and this will stand upon the sidewalk
night and day every day in the year.
AS the whole affair weighs two and a
half tons it is not feared that any one
will carry it away surreptitionsly 1t
has taken nearly year to build the
watch, and by the time it is placed the
whole thing will have cost about
s5,000.-Brooklyn Eagle.
