Under branches pink with Mg,
Vatter, patter, all together, - -
Little feet have hurried one, ; '
Echoing with their. noise and ront,, •
Tbieugh the brooding sprOptime weather
Wised uncertainly between
April cloud and Bummer sheen,
Ballenamored of delay.
Wily one poor little drone,
Silent, sullen, stays alone,
With his book unheeded lying
Near the useless, broken slate
In - a storm oblige and hate
Flung at random on the floor.
Froncl, rebellious, obstinate,
For a weary while before
Beim waited, vainly trying,
To repress the tears, that rise

Well enough it le to play
All the golden hours away;
Well enough, tolicky scorner
Of the Echool-room!s common law,
idle curve and line, to draw,
While the classes read and s pell;
But when work hr fairly done,
To be left the only'one,
In a dark and dusty corner,
Surely'is not 4ntte as well!
Vaught for note Of time hos he ,
Save a neighboring apple-tree, •
That a lengthened shadow swinging
Nearer; clearer, through the hour,
Tracery of leaf and , dower
Marks upon the wall so plain,
Almost seems it he can see

Punishing your silly self
While the sun la well n igh" setting !

A repentance code too late. •

:ast should we do without clocks and
watches? Is there anything comparable to
the misery of being benighted on a polmtry
read with a watch that has stopped in one's
waistcoat pocket, and not a clock with
in view to tell one the time? The sun has
set, every minute's tramping on the dusty
murky road seems as an . hour. We have a
- ain - to - tatchi - allinner to-le.in-Xime for,- or-a
district meeting to attend, at which it won't
do to be late. On ordinary occasions, when
cool and collet ted, we might be able to com
pute the time, hut in straits like these our

or seven, for all We know; 'we should not be
;surprised to hear it was eight. .Our notions '
get muddled, and on we trudge, breathless,
nervous' and irritable; pretty certain, too, to
find in theond that we have - been fretting
ourselves for nothing.

spring of eivilikation. It is so intimately con

the regulator of ail our occupations, that we
have become, as it were, its slaves; . and we
_can no more imagine a state of social exist- ..
ence,without it, than we can imagine , birds
fly:Mg without wings, or any other thing that
in totally impossible. .
- The first people who appear to have allotted
- the day into portions were the Assyrians, who
invented -the water-clock at a period too re
mote for - precise calculation. All we know
for certain is, that the apparatus existed before.
the overthrow* of the first Assyrian empire by
Albsces and Belesis, in the year 759 B; C. for
we find by the tradition of early Persian au
thors that the use of it , was general in Nineveh
under the reign of . Phul, better known as
Bardanapalus the second; the first monarch of
the second Assyrian empire. This water
clock was nothing more than a brass vessel
of cylindrical shape, holding several gallons
of water. A very-small -- hole - was bored in
one of.its sides, through which the liquid was
allowed to trickle; and it was calculated that
the vessel could empty itself about five or six
times ha'a day. Under the reign of Phul, the
ro'al palace of Nineveh, and each of the
principal distriets of the city, possessed a
water c- clock of the same shape and capacity.
They were - filled together, or as nearly as
possible together„at the signal of a watch
man stationed aloft on a tower to proclaim
the rising:of the sun, and.they remained all
day . in the keeping of officials whose
busmen it was to fill them as soon as
they became empty. There was a regular
staff of criers employed in connection with
each of the time offices, and as-often as the
water clacks were replenished they spread
through the streets shouting out the fact for
the benefit of the townspj ple. In this way
a sort of rough computed of 'the flight of
fci
time was held. The in ervals between the
filling and'emptying of the vessels were called
"watches," and were, probably, two hours
or two hours and a half in duration. But it is
bard to suppose that the water-clocks kept
very steady pace with each other; the diffi
culty of making by hand vessels of the same '
size, of drilling them with holes of precisely
the same diameter, and of supplying them
with -water of just the same density, must
have given rise to even more irregularity in
the working of these machines than exists at
present in the movements of our eity,,,,clocks„,
those clocks of which Charles LaMb said that
they allowed him to walk from the Strand , o
Temple Bar in no time and gain five minutes!
The water- clock, or clepsydra, continued
to remain in its primitive condition for many
centuries; and it was not until the invention
of the sun-dial at Alexandria, five hundred
and fifty-eight years before Christ, that it un
derwent any improvement. About that time„
however, an Egyptian of Memphis added a
dial with a hand to the clepsydra. The hand
_ revolved on a pivot, and communicated with
a string which - was fastened to a float. As the
water leaked out, the float fell with it, and
the tension of the string caused the hand to
move round with slight spasmodic jerks,
something like those of the second-hand on a
watch of inferior make. .
This reform, meritorious enough m theory,
proved somewhat deficient in practice;for the
d'q:ffeulty about getting the clocks to keep
step was doubled or trebled when the system
became complicated with dial, needle, string
and float. To insure simultaneous acting,the.
String-or wire of the different clocks ought to
have been of the same length and force; the
needles also ought to have been of a size and
Let on pivots exactly similar in point of height
and circumference. And when all this Mid
been obtained, there was still the question as
to how to make float and suing, string and
needle, act in perfect unison. Often,through
rast, or some other cause, the needle must
have proved obdurate to the faint tug of the
string, and the float, in consequence, have
• remained suspended in mid air; whereupon,
of course, the dial became mute, and
t•gyptians, who disliked innovations,
must have shrugged their . ehottiders.
But, notwithstanonig i ts drawbaCk%
Um rrnprovement was a very valuable out:, if
ter, bp Oh( r reason than that it pr9ared the
way 'for further changeo, and led to-the per
kctthg of the elepydra by the sutistitution of
si , kystpxt ,of debited u heels for that already in
thte,.., The wheels were set at wort ou the
water-mill principle, and the addition of a
second het,dle to the dial allo wed the clock
tolie' ark the one of the different=
'Washes;". This was the ne <pius ultra as '
ferAe- the AlePeYdrlOvaef noncernedCit dates
fro ? two_hundresk; and fifty years before
Ohriet, and ..Egypi, which, had become the
great mart or, - nio new timepieces, exported
them to the; different countries of the East as
rare curiosities and at fabulous prices'. When
Pompey returned to Rome, in the year sixty
two before Christ, from triumphing over
Tigranes, Antiochus, and Mithridates,
one ot the most valuable trophies
he brought with him from the treasures of the
King of Pontus was a clepsydra, marking the
hours and minutes according to the method
Of horology in use at Rome. The cylinder
which served as receptacle for the water was
of gold, as was also the dial-plate. The hands •
were studded with small rubies, arid each of
the ciphers that denoted the twenty-fonr hours
Was cut out of a sapphire. It must have been
orenormous size, for the cylinder only needed
replenishing once a day. The Romans.; had
never seen anything like it, and „when Pom
pey caused it to be set up in the chief hall of
the capitol, it needed a strong . guard -of--sol
diers to protect it against the inclisCreet curi
osity of the mob.
We come now to those ages of total dark
ness which followed the overthrow of the
,Roman Empire, when'science, art,and every
thing that was refined fell into'contempt and
oblivion. The barbarians who conquered
the Imperial city had very primitive modes of
Marking the course of time. They, knew
nothing about houstritiad minutes; 'they had
not sense enough to invent water-clocks,, and
surediale, even had they been acquainted with
thent, would have served them but little in
lands such as theirs, where sun only shone on
rare occasions, and where cold, fog and -rain
held sway for half the year.
-However, it was necessary that they should
know when to prepare their mega of half
cooked meat, when to gather in circles to
listen to the preeChing of their druids, and
when to relieve the sentries who Mounted
guard on the outskirts of their settlements; and
so this is what they imasined. At the break of
dawn,when therchieftam of the camp or village
rose, a boy-slave came and toc:k poetical
at the entrance cif likilint; and sat down: with
two helmets, one full of pebbles and the other
_empty, before him. His business was to
transfer the pebbles, one by one, and not too •
fast, from the first helmet to the second, after
which-he - surrendered - his turn to some one
else, who repeated the operation, and, so on
till dusk. As the - helmets were mostly very
big, and the pebbles, on the eontrary, very
small, the process of emptying must have ta
lien a goud'two hours. Itis - prolfable; - there=
fore,• that the days of these Franks and
Norsemen, Teutons and Vandals, were di
vided, like those of the Assyrians, into six
parts or watches. As soon as a helmet had
been - emptied, the fact was proolaimed
through the camp by the striking of a sword
against a shield, gong fashion, at the chief
tain's door. The echo was caught up around,
and men knew that dinner-time had come.
But this was not the only method of mark
ing the time: There were other ways,
which-7differed according to the locality
and the various pursuits of the people. In
-peasant districts, the laborer reckoned by_the
number of 'furrows he could plolgh, or, if it
was harvest time, by the quantity of corn he
could reap'. In towns, where some faint
remnant of Roman civilization survived, the
reckoning was_ kept , by watchmen. At day
break a soldier started on foot (or, if the town
was a large one, on horseback) to walk round
the city. When he had / gone his round, the
first watch was over; arid he - returned to his
quarters blowing loud on a trumpet, whilst a
second soldier set out in silences, to perforar
the second watch. This_ continued uninter
ruptedly day and night,, the only difference
being that after sunset there was nhtrumpet
blowing, and that the watchmen, instead of
proceeding singly, went their rounds in
batches of ten or a dozen. .
Finally, as a last instant* of barbarous
chronometry, we may allude to the method
employed in monasteries, the first of which,
founded by St. Benedict, was instituted at the
beginning_of the sixth century__(A-D.,__.523_.)_,
The monks were in the habit of computing
time by the number of prayers they could
gabble, and it was hence that the custom of
wearing chaplets of beads arose. The task
assigned to,each monk was to recite,as many
"paters" and "aver" as there were beads un
his string, and as the orthodox number on ,
chaplet was supposed to be then, as it is now,
, thirty-three; r=ilTiris, - IffaTar fo - r - riach year of our
Saviour's life,—there was work for a full hour
and a half, if conscientiously performed. As
in the case of the urban watchmen, ono monk
was 'relieved by another, and the termination
ot each "vigil" was notified to the commu
nity by the tolling of the chapel bail. We
may add that this custom continuos unal
tered in certain monastic establishmente.
In monasteries of a severe order
there is no such thing as a clock to be seen.
The only timekeepers are the shorn, becowled
monks kneeling in perpetual adoration.
A century after the final overthrow of the
Roman Empire, the habit of reckoning by
hours and minutes had, completely disap
peared from Western Europe. One .by one
every vestige of art and science disappeared,
and, had itinot been for the kingdoms of the
East, which kept the flame of science just
flickering whilst the West was in darkness,
our present system of horology would have
fallen into complete abeyance. It was the
famous Caliph of Bagdad,liaroun-al-Raschid,
„Vgho.restored-the-old-water=clock to Europe.
In the year 807 he sent a magnificent clepsy
dra as a token of friendship to Charlemagne;
but it seems that the present was looked upon
as a thing to be rather admired than copied,
for we find no mention of' any
water- clocks of French make until
the reign of Philip, contempo
rary of William the Conqueror. Perhaps the
reason of this is that the sand-glass (sablier)
had been invented in France shortly before
the accession of Charlemagne, and that this
last contrivance was judged more handy and
Simple than the other. The first sablier was
made by the same man who reinvented the
blowing of glass, after the secret had been
lost for some centuries. He was a monk of
Chartres, named Luitprand,and the sand-glass
he made was the exact prototype of all thOl3C
that have been manufactured since. It con
sisted of two receptacles of pear-like shape
joined by their slender ends. When the sand
had all run out from one into 'the other, the
lower glass was turned uppermost and kept
in that position till empty. ShortlY after he
had received the gift of Harouh-Td
Raschid, Charlemagne caused a mon
ster sablier to be made with the horal
divisions marked on the outside by
thin lines of red paint. Milt was the first
ita'ar-glass. It required to be turned over
once only in twelve hours,and if it was blown
with anything like the care which modern
hour-glasses , are, it must have kept time with
as much precision as the beat of lever clocks,
indeed; it is not rare to hear people declare,
even nowadays, that the ffnur-glase is the best
timepiece 4 that was ever 'invented.
Whilst France was thus showing to the
front in matters of science, Old England with
tine conservative instinct, was still marking
linos in abostof antiquated,inconvenient ways.
Neither-did our ancestors betray any greater
qiisposition to adopt the French inventions
than wo do in these days when it big question

a few years that of small clocks. Our ideas

that watches assumed this respectable but - in=

olives, walnuts, and crosses. They cost fab
ulous sums of money, and were generally
worn as pendants hanging hy a gold chain
from_ ladies' bracelets. Claude wife 01
Francis the First, had • one so `small that it
was set in a ring. l i
•Popular tradition aseribes theKiverition of
watches to Peter Hele,of Ntiremberg, in the
year 1490. But then it is a notorious fact that
King Robert.of Scotland possessed one so far
back as the year 1310. The only way in
which we can account for Mill discrepancy is
by the supposition that watches were °rip
nally invented - by a Scotchman, but that the
maker died --suddenly- without _-promulgating
his secret. German watches were not intro ,-
-duced at the English court until 1597. The
first seen in England was worn by the beau
. tiful Lady Arabella StUart.
It is to Hugens `:of,'Zulichem 'that the-
greatest, we might almost - say the last, pro

Hugena only caught:up an idea that had first
occu'rr'ed to the great Galileo. EverY one

Thet.invention of spring pocket-watches,

first repeating watch was made at Amster

- In these days it - is a mooted point - as to
which is the best country in which to buy a
watch or clock. In the last century it was
universally admitted, that the watches of
Geneva Were unrivalled, -whilst the sculptured
wooden-case clocks made in the Hartz moun
tains of Germany had the reputation of being
the surest-goers, as well as the most valuable

to be looked upon With some• disfavor, espe
cially in England. The battle seems to lie
now by general consent between Franco and
Great Britain, our neighbors priding them
selves upon the exquisite beauty of their ladies'
watches, whilst we, on the contrary, carry
off the palm for the soundness and finish or
our men's watches.
But there is one branch of horology in
which the French cannot even attempt to
compete with us,and that is in the making of
chronometers. English chronometers are
held Incomparable the whole world over, and
this is no wonder when we remember the
severe Sets to which all official chronoineters
(that is, those used in her Majesty's Navy) are
subjected before; they are approved by the
sign -manual of the Astronomer , Royal. All
,navy chronometers have undergone a proba
tionary stage of six months, a year, and in
mine casea two.years, at the Greenwi h Ob
servatory, before receiving their 1' at to go

who has made it deserves something—better
than the title of mechanic; he should take,
'rank as an artist, and a' first. rate artist too.

HAVA.NA, May 12, via KEY WEST, May 13.
Private letters have been received from rebel
sources giving accounts of another battle be
tween the Spanish troops and the insurgents. It
took place on May 3d, at Las Mires. The
Spaniards numbered 1;200 and were under
Leeca.
Thu two first assaults , were repulsed by the
Cubans. The third was very determined, and
the Cubans began to ret reat , when - Quesada or
dered hie rear guard the • front. , -They ,
ad
vanced, driving the Cu ans into the front ranks
of enemy. A hand to hand combat ensued,
In which the butchery was horrible.
The Spaniards finally gave way, and retreated
In - good - order. - -Their loss is- estimated at 160
killed, and 300 wounded. That' of - the Cabana,
200 killed, and a proportionate number wounded.
- After the fight, the rebels marched to San Mi
guel, and burned the town in the sight of the re
treating Spaniards. It is generally believed the
revolutionary leaders have changed their policy
in the field, and in the future will fight, instead
of retreating• ,to the Mountains on the appear
ance of any considerable force of Government
troops. .
In the battle at Alta Gracia, which took place
on the let instant, the Cuban loss was two hun
dred, and that of the 'Spaniards 180 killed and
wounded. The Spaniards hero -regard the result
of the actions as fatal to the rebellion, but the
Cdbans are jubilant over them, as the 'first groat
enecesses ol the war for independenee.

Brevet COMIIIII6/0113E Seri Officers fin the
. Indio" Wars.
. ,
The following is a copy of the opinion of the ,
Attorney-general in reply to a question from thd
Secretary of War concerning, brevet commis
sions to officers serving in Indian wars :
ATTORERY-CIENERAVS OFFICE, TREASURY Da
rserirsar, April-24;.1869.--Hon. John. A.•l?aw--,
ling, Secretary of War :—Srn : The second eec-
Lion of the act of March 1, 1869, entitled "An act
to; amend the act of' 1806, , for establishing rale3
and articles for the government-Of the - armies of •
the United States,ii eclares that hereafter "com
missions 'by breve Shall onlY be 'conferred in
i
time of war, and , or distinguished conduct .and
public service in the-presence-of-the-enemyt-an.
that "all brevet commissions shall bear date from
-the ,particular action or service for -which the
officer was breveted." ' - ' '
Two days after this law took effect, on the ad
of. March, 1669, the Senate confirmed the nomina
tions of a number of officers to soromotion by
brevet, -which had" been pending, before that body,
prior to the date of the act. Among these were
some' that had been made on account of services
rendered in recent engagements with the In
dians, in each of which the date of promotion
corresponded with that of the service mentioned.
' Thellication - which yon submitis whetherimnder
the terms of the law cited, these latter - °Matra
are entitled to commissions by brevet, hereto
fore intended for them; and whether, byTts
terms, officers of , this class are now excluded
from brevet promotion. With regard to
the latter branch, of Oki questionit is very clear -
that if the officers referred to were not nomina
ted for brevet promotion by reason of ."distin
guished conduct and Public service in the face of
the enemy," they cannot now be commissioned
_I ylirevet—Tliesiremns,tanee that their nomina-__
Lions were , pending before the Senate prior, to the
of the act does not relieve them of its opera
tions. These nominations wore not appoint
ments. To constitute the latter required the
Issue of commleskins4n pursuance - of the ' pre
vions nominations. ,After confirmation thereof
by the Senate, the authority to commission in
these cases was, it appears, swept away
by the statute, even ' before such
confirmation was made. It would seem, how
ever, that- the other nominations mentioned,
Which were made and confirmed for meritorious
'setwice in recent engagements with the Indians,
are within the act, and that, consistently with its
provisions, brevet commissions may be issued to
the officers designated therein. The = only point
.ieh suggests itself In connection with this
branch Of the subject is whether promotions
made during Indian hostilities may, be viewed Jus
"conferred in time of war," within the.meaningef
the law. That /Of n_ tribes are capable- of
maintaining relations of peace and war with
- the:United States -4s--recog'nized-- in-numerous
treaties made -with them, - and - accord
ing'''', where bostilitieshreek out between any of
these tribes and the government, a state of war
- with propriety May be - said-to cadet -- Indeed,such
hostilitteshaveheen so described by the 'Aglaia-
Lure. - Thos the act of April 20, 1818, third stat
ute page 4, 59, made provision for the - pay of
militia called into service, in prosecuting the war
with tip_ Seminole tribe of Indians. So that
breiret_ promotions made during the existence
of Indian hostilities far distinguished service in
presence of the enemy,.-are to be deemed as
made in time of war, within the meaning of the
statute. -
I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your
obedient servant, E. R. HOAR,
Attorney-General. .
