OUR FRIENDS THE CLOCKS.
It's Good to Be on Terms of Fam IL
iaritY with Them.

It's Good to he on Terms of Fam II
iarity with Them.
"Public clocks" said Mr.. Stog-
gleton, according to the New York
Sun, are not only a great pub
lie convenience; ii may easily be
that some particular clocks that
we pass daily, on our way to and
from work, we come TO regard as
sort Of personal friend. Wheth
er we want to know the time or
not we are likely to glance at this
clock as we go by; we look for it
and become accustomed to seeing
it in its familiar place, and should
miss it greatly if anything hap
pened to ii, or it were taken away.
"And the same is true, in some
degree, though in some what diff
ferent way, of weather vanes, the
weather vane is so simple q thing
that we look upon it, so to speak,
more as a dumb creature, and so
we may not have that personal
feeling for it that we have for the
clocks, though we may regard it
with friendly feeling, too. That's
one way in which the vane is diff
ferent, and then, of another, the
vane that we may come to know,
and that we are likely to consult,
is one that we have in view from
where we live.
eve consult the public clock,
the one that we come in way to
know personally, while we are
away from home; ourvane we con
suit before we start, and not so
much to know what o'clock u is
in the clouds. but what the wealth
er is going to be; to know, per
haps, whether we shall 80 some
where; whether we shall take a
parachute. and SO on.
But while thus we do not have
for the weather vane quite the
same regard that we have for the
clock, we may yet comc to have
a considerable fancy for one. !
remember we'll a giant weather
yane, six feet high, | should say
in length, that for years turned on
the top of flagstaff on the top of
a building in plain view of my
home. Many a time from my win
dow | have looked out at this
great weather vane, and seen il.
big as it was, turn gently in soft
hreezes. and many a time | have
seen it thrashing and swinging
wildly around i'm fierce gales, fair
ly making the stout pole that it,
surmOmtcd sway with the strain.
"In fact this Swaying Of the pole
in gales led finally 10 their taking
the big vane down and putting up
in its place for a finish to the pole

one 1t was a little shock TO find
it gone and | never got quite used |
to its absence.
an whatever new place I go to |

there is q weather vane in sight. |
We are less likely. i'm fact, to find
such a weather yane i'm view, from
our home. than we are to find
clock in view on our way to and |
from home; but | am pleased if |
find such n vane. and, if it proves
trusty, glad to make friends with
it,"
