THE BEWITCHED CLOCK.
BY THE OLD TN.
About half past 11 o'clock on Sunday
night, a human leg, enveloped in blue
broad cloth might have been seen entering
Deacon Cephas Barberry's kitchen win
dow. The leg was followed finally, by
the entire person of a live Yankee, attired
in bis Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes. It
was in short, Joe Mayweed who thus bur
glarious, in the dead of night, won his way
into the deacon's kitchen.
"Wonder how much the old deacon
made b" orderin' me not to darkin his
doors again ?" soliloquised the young gen
tlemen. Promised him I wouldn't, but
didn't say nothin' about winders. Winders
is jest as good as doors, ef there ain't no
nails to tear your trowgers onto. Wonder
if Sall'll come down? the critter promised
me. I'm afeared to move about here,
'cause I might break my shins over some-
thin' 'nuther, and wake the old folks.
Cold enough to freeze a polish bpar here.
O, here comes Sally !"
The beauteous maid descended with a
pleasant smile, a tallow candle, and a card
of lucifer matches. After receiving a rap
turous greeting, she made up a rousing fire
in the cooking-itove, and the happy cou
pie sat down to enjoy the sweet interchange
of vows and hopes. But the course of true
love ran no smoother in old barberry's
kitchen than it does elsewhere, and Joe,
who was just making up his mind to treat
himself to a kiss, was startled bv the voice
of the deacon, her father, shouting from
the chamber door :
"Tell him it's most morning," whispered
Joe.
"I can't tell him a fib!" said Sally.
"I'll make it a truth then," said Joe;
and running to the huge, old fashion-ed
clock that stood in the coi ner, he set it at
five.
Look at the clock and tell me what time
it is," cried the old gentleman up 6tuirs.
li'sfive, by the clock," answered Sally,
and corroborating her worJs, the old clock
struck five.
The lovers sat down again and resumed
their conversation. Suddenly the staircase
began to creak.
"Good gracious! It' lather."
"The deacon! by thunder!" cried Joe.
"Hide me, Sal !"
"Where cm 1 hide yon," cried the dis
tracted girl.
"O, 1 know," said he. "I'll squeeze
into the clock case." And without another
word he concealed himsell in tho case, and
drew die door behind him.
The deacon was dressed, and sitting
himself down by the cooking-stove, pulled
out his pipe, lighted it, and commenced
smoking deliberately and calmly.
"Five o'clock, eh ?' said he. "Well, I
shall have time to smoke tnreeor lour
pipes, and then I'll go and feed the critters."
"Hadn't you better feed the critters fust,
sir, and sm ike asterwards?" suggested the
dutiful Sallv.
"No smokin' clears my head and wakes
me up," answered the deacon, who seemed
not a whit disposed to hurry his enjoyment.
"liiirr-r-r-r wlnz ding! ding! ding!"
went the clock.
"Tormented lightning!" cried the dea
con, starting up, and dropping his pipe on
the stove ; what'n creation's that 1"
It's only the clock striking five!" said
Sa'lv, tremulously.
"Whiz! ding! ding! ding! ding!" went
the clock furiously.
"Powen of Mercy !" cried the deacon.
"Strikin' five, it's struck a hundred already."
"Deacon Barberry!" cried the deacon's
better half, who had hastily robed herself,
and now came plunging down the staircase
in the wildest state of alarm, "what is the
matter with the clock 1"
"Goodness only knows," replied the old
man. "It's been in the family these hun
dred years, and never did I know it to car
ry on so before."
Whiz! bang! bang! bang!" went the
clock azain.
"It's bust itself!" cried the old lady,
shedding a flood of tears, "and them won't
be anything left of it."
"It's bewitched !" said the deacon, who
retained a leaven of good New England
superstition in his nature. "Any how,"
he st'd, after pause, advancing resolutely
towar 's the clock, ''I'll see what's got into
it."
"O. don't!' cried the daughter, aftVc
; tioraiely seizing one of bis coat tails, while
8UM1UHY, NOHTIIUMRUIlhAND COUNTY. l'A.. SATURDAY. JULY 1G. 1833
his (nithtul wif? clung to the other.
"Do.'t!" thorused bjth the women to
gether. "Let go my raiment?" shouted the old
deacon. "I ain't af'eard of the nowers ol
darkness."
But the women would not let go : so
the deacon slipped out of his coal, and
while, Irom the sudden cessation of resist
ance, they fell heavily to the floor, he dar
ted forward, and laid his hand upon the
door of the clock case. But no human
power could open it. Joe was holding it
inside with a death grasp. The old deacon
began to be dreadfully frightened. He gave
one more tug. An unearthly yell, as of a
fiend in distress, burst from the inside, and
then the clock case pitched head foremost
at the deacon, fell headlong on the floor,
smashed its fair proportions. The current
of air extinguished Ihe light th" deacon,
the old lady and S.illv fled up stairs, and
J.e Mayweed, extricating himself from the
clock, effected his ebcape in the same way
he had entered.
The next day all Appletown was alive
with the story of how Deacon BarV'rry'a
clock had been bewitched, and though
many believed his version, sime, especially
Joe Mayweed, affected to discredit the
whole affair, hinting that the deacon had
been trying the experiment of tasting fro
zen cider, and thit the vagaries of the
clock case exiiUd only in a distempered
imagination.
However, the in'erriict being taken off,
Joe was allowed ti resume his courting,
and won the consent of the oM p-nple to
his union with Sail', by repairing the old
clock, till it went as well as ever.
A WEDDING.
We derive this enrions description of a
wedding in Brilany Irom a late volume of
the Traveller's Library :
"Soon after I came into this country I
was asked tothe noce,' or mairiage dinner,
of a miller with a farmer's daughter, and
being new in such matters I considered it
an honor, and accepted the invite. Had I
been older, I should have known that, 'he.
ing intejpreted,' it meant five francs, nei
ther more nor less. At the lime fixed 1
went. The wedding parly had not arrived
from the church, and there was only a
large crowd of the invited hanging about.
But within the house all was bustle. Three
large barrels of wine, mixed with brandy;
huge boilers seething and hissing forth sa
voury steams; vast receptacles, containing,
in unknown depths, puddings and vegeta
bles, gave note of the coming feast. 1 en
tered and made my obeisance to the pa
rents, and drank the health of their child
ren ; but their manner became cool came
from the east, as sailor say. Something
was evidently wrong; but for the life of
me I could not find out where it lav. Per
haps (thought 1) it was the wrong house
perhaps the wrong time; but some screw
was certainly loose, and that was all 1
counted for, and it may be the fashion to
be cold iu manner, as in high places, so I
passed on. Soon after, loud shouts, firing
of pistols, and a general rush announced
the arrival of the bride, and bridegroom.
These were ushered in great state to the
dining-room, a large barn, fitted up with
benches and were placed at the head of the
table, the lady easy and composed, the
gentlemen red and awkward, as us'tal I
then men'ioned lo an acquaintance the
coolness 1 ha l noticed.
What did you give?' 6aid he.
Give ! I said, 4I thought I was invited
lo dine here.'
'Quite right!' said he; 'but then you
must pay for the dinner. We do not send
a plate round that would be too bmad ;
but we take it at the door from those who
cnoite to give, and those who do not
choose are turned out.
Sturdy begging
this, at least ; but it
cleared up the mystery
I had been count
ed a fat buck, but seemed likely lo prove a
thin one a disappointment too great to
be borne. So under his ad ice I returned,
and with a prop'T speech produced my five
franc piece. The effect was magical all
clouds vanished at tbe touch- the sun
broke out anew, and I was handed to a
seat right opposite to the bride. Never
before did five trancs work such a miracle.
The guests amounted to three hundred and
filly, and but for bad weather the number
would have exceeded five bundled. Large
bowls of soup and dishes of bouilli were
set fur every four persou, and with a long
wooden spoon for each one. I had brought
a knife and fork in my pocket, but not
wiihing to appear singulat, I kept lh-m
there; and the signal being given to fall
on, 1 grasped my wooden spoon and set lo
work. I, however, soon found mvsMlf dis
tanced and dead beaten. Talk of ihe fas'
feeding of a Yankee! Give me a hungry
Breton, and I'll back lit in against the world.
After the meat came great dishes of hatter
pudding, smoking hot ; but, in spile of
heat, they followed by the same road, and
were speedily bolted, bating such portions
as, in the hurry, fell between the planks
or into a neighbors pocket. Wine, brandy
and cider, of good quality, qualified all this,
and made it sit easy ; and such was the
eagerness to Mrinquer,' or drink with the
stranger, pushing the glass against mine in
the hob-ar.d-nob fashion, that ere I left, my
coat had changed its color, and I had re
ceived a baptism in wine. The wedding
presents were then displayed : butter fash
toned into baskets and boats ; hanks of
yarn, honey, pieces of linen and other
things, all of which : a'as for the sweet
soii a nirs of affection ! would he turned into
cash in the morning. To this succeeded
dancing, in which Ihe saSot did wonders ;
and by midnight, the bridal party being
tiren, ana me guests ail drunk, the party
aspersed, leaving bemad them clear rest
due, after all expenses, of four hundred
francs for the new couple to begin the
world witb.
DOMESTIC AHO SOCIAL LIFE I K GERMAN?.
In one of our rooms this evening, the dance
went on most spiiiietlly ! Here, us every
where in Germany, lbs dance in an entirely
different affair from what it is wi'h us at
home. There is n life mid spiiit in it which
oontrasis most pleaiaiitly wiih the solemn
and measured ceiemonials in the parlors in
Anierira. For the firt lime I pained the
true idea f ihe ilaure a niuii a', joyoum
child-like exprention of uood spirit.
"What ! you dance not V1 said a yomi2 la

menced a running accompaniment by w hitt

effect.
''They say your people never play ; they
work always!" said she ncaiu;
"Yes, it is loo true," I answered ; "we
make our play work."

PJSIltO AIDIXFUKMLCr THE JEW.
Below we give the substance of an article
from Ihe Congtegational Journal, on thi f n
tions people ;
The existence of the Jew is the living
miracle of the world. They are scattered

nosi accurate statistics, are ns numerous n

three millions. Expatriated, ihey become
citizens of the world ; and w herever tolera
ted, they commpiice traffic end becomo
thrifty. Everywhere they are aT home.
They may be banished, but cannot be ex
pelled ; be Irndden down, yet canuot be
ciushed. Only iii the United Slates, France,
Holland, and Prnia, are they fully citizens ;
but in spite or British statues, the Russian
ukase ami Tuikish curse, they prosper still.
The cipat nnlions of antiquity, ihe Eavptian

have attempted lo destiny them, but in vain;

The following obituary which we clip from
yesterday's New Wi.k Couries, will be peru
sed w itll ioleies' :
Pierr T.nissanit, whose funeral will lake
place this moininz at ten o'clock from Si. Pu
Ipr's Church, in Birclay street, wa born in
the servitude of St. Domingo, and in devoted
aitendence upon his mistress in her flight
from bland, arrived in ibis city iu 1787.
Here the farmer dependent became tho sole
support of the unfortunate lady, and her most
disinterested fiend until herdeath. The oc
cupation of Ladies' Hair Dresser gave him
admission to the house of lha influential
families of that day, and bis good manners,
unusual discrimination of character and high
sense ol propriety, ensured him tho counte
nance, courtesy, and esteem of all to whom
he was admitted, and the confidence and
friendship of many to whom the excellence
of his life and character w ere more intimately
known, All knew hi general worth, but fen
were acquainted with the generous qualities
of his heart, and with those principles of dis
interested and gejiae kindness which gov
erned hi daily conduct. His charity was of
the efficient character which did not content
itsuif with a present relief of pecuniary aid,
but which required time and thoughl by day
and by night, and long watchfulness and kind
attentions al ihe bedsido of the sick und de
parting. Thus gaodiiesa, springing from re
fined and elevated piiaciple, and fiom a sense
of reiigioc duty which never pertnit'.cd him
to omit a mot scrupulous complianc wiih
all the requirements of his faiih, formed Ihe
prominent feature of his character, ami made
his life a con;anl round of acts of k indues
and sympathy. By such a life, governed by
such prineipics of ioiegii:", chanty ai d reli
gion Toiissiant secured to himself the respect,
esteem and fi iensliip of many of our first cit
izens; and thonoli death has made the circle
small in which he had moved, there are yel
