Asa Tutlle was an illustration of the fact that man is partly rcssonsi ble for his own conduct and partly not; and that the boundaries between responsibility and irresponsibility are rague, variable aad mysterious. livery Saturday night be got drunk, went home and whipped bis wife. cursed and swore, broke something, and had to be quelled by the police, who took bim to the calaboose. Next morning he was sober and repentant, and was let out He would then ro to church, and, after morning service the pastor would request the elders ofl the church to remain a while. Ev erybody always knew what that, meant. Witb many tears, Mr. luttle wonld express his deep penitence, and Firofess a determination to lead a new ifs. The pastor and elders would forgive him, and he would be all right agaia till Saturday. lie would teach in the afternoon Sunday school, take his part in the prayer meeting, and be to all outward appearance a most exemplary christian. But Sat urday be would fall again. So it went on year after year. The officers of the church were sorely perplexed. There never was a man more regular in his habiti, never a man who exhib ited signs of deeper, more heartfelt penitence, or promised more faithfully to amend. A distinguished physician, on being consulted, gave it as bis opinion that the unfortunate man bad become a prey to a disease which at tacked him periodically, causing for a time an irrestible thirst for liquor. which bsing taken, placed the victim beyond moral responsibility. un inaay evening Mr. luttle was sitting alone opposite his work bench. He had lain down his tools, and was gazing musingly into the street, ob serving the hurrying passers by, and listening to the tramp of feet on the pavement He" sat thus while the dusk gathered and just as the first street lamp was being lit he heard footsteps on the stairs, and then the opening of the door, and then walk- in? on the Moor, and at toe same time the room was illuminated by the glare oi mo in os i uniiiaui ngui ne nan ever seen, hardly excepting sun light. A stranger, past middle age, in his shirt sleeves, wits spectacles on his nose, advauce to the work bench, and silling down his lantern, began to handle I utile s tools with a dexterity that proved him to be an expert He gathered together a screwdriver, the oil and-a pair of pliers. Then turn ing to luttle, who was incapable of speech or motion, the stranger appear ed to use me screw-ariver about Tut tie's head, appearing really to be ta king screws out of the middle of his forehead, his temples, and the sides and back of his head. These screws he laid on the table, and turning to Tuttle, lifted off the upper half of the clock-maker's skull nnd sat it down on the "work boncb. Then adjusting an eye-glass to one eye, be took up the oil and a pair or pliers, poked a little about his brain, shook his head, laid down the instruments and started out, leaving his lantern. Mr. Tuttle called out to him to come back and nut his skull on a?sin. and thoueh he shouted over acd over again, with all bis might the measured tread of the foot-steps passed en and out, and down the stairs and died away on the side walk. In his distress, Mr. Tuttle cast his eyes upward, and at once saw what arrested and diverted his attention. In a case were three clocks running. They were made of precious metals and precious stones, and glittered and flashed in the light of the wonderful lamp in such a way as to danle and bewilder bim. Looking under the case, he was startled to perceive a pair of human eyes gazing straight into his own. He found there was a face and part of a body, aad the feat ures seemed very familiar, lie soon discovered that if he had met a twin brother the resemblance to himself could not have been more exact In deed, after a little further observation, he found that be was looking into a mirror, which reflected another mirror behind him and that he was actually staring into bis own brains, which turned out to be a beautiful system or clock-work, and therein were quite different from what he bad expected. But then he had never before been favored with an opportunity of seeing the inside of bis own skull. Whether something or somebody spoke to him, or bow it got into his mind, he could not tell, but he was able quite clearly to understand that one of these clocks governed all the physical movements. He saw that it was set to run twelve hours, then it would run down, all the voluntary motions would cease, and the machine would sleep. A touch on the shoulder would start a curious spiral move ment in the brain, a mainspring would be drawn taut, it would pull upon all the physical faculties and tbe man JUNE 7, 1876. wonld be wonnd up again and set run ning for another twelve hours. It was very strange that after all his dama- ing remarks about old clocks, Mr. 'utile shculd find that he was noth ing but an old clock himself. His intellectual faculties were also regulate! by clock-work, but arran ged for perpetual motion. His moral faculties, too, were regu lated by clock-work. But he was able to perceive that while most people's moral faculties are made to run eight days, so that wben wonnd op on Son day, by a sermon or other religious ex ercises, they would run till next Sun day without any abatement of vigor, his, by some misfit were only arranged to run ror six days and a hair, so that on Saturday afternoon the mainspring would go with a bang, all the works would run down in a minute, and then he was without any moral machinery any more than a cew. Ha saw also that the mainspring bad tbe appear ance of having been filed nearly in two in many places, numbers or the cog-wheels baa lost one or more teeth, and it numerous places there was so much dirt and sticky oil the works would hardly move. Now, indeed.his conscience smote him. He recollected that le had filed many mainsprings in two that they might run a few weeks and then break and be brought back to him for repairs, when he would al ways (charge double price for the springi and double price for his work, which prices were always paid cheer fully because tbe extra amount seemed a sort of guarntee that the work was well dose. He also frequently filed a tooth nearly off so that it would break and a nw wheel have to be put in. Sometimps he would use sticky oil that would bring him a job of cleaning; and occaiionally he would say to his customer!, on looking into the works, that a pinion had broken, and though ho but cleaned the works, he would charge for putting in' a new pinion. He now perceived that every time he had put dirt or bad oil into clock works, o( broken a tooth or pinion, an equal amount of dirt or bad oil had been inserted into his moral machine ry, and tooth for tooth and pinion for pinion had been broken there, nd consequently if matters continued long thus, the whole machine would fall down in a wreck, and people would discover what had been going on in secret But this was not the most alarming; he saw a great wheel with only one tooth loaTf. On counting the fractures he round that it bad once contained four hundred and ninety teeth. "Four hundred and ninety! four hundred and ninety II four hundred and ninety It I" he ejaculated, in a be wildsred way, and grasping at a vague, dreadful idea. "Why, that is seventy times seveu. And there I have been forgiven four hundred and eighty-nine times, and there is no authority for more than one mire chancel Besides there are all the teeth gone but one, and when that goes " With a scream of fear be awoke. Ilia neck, was across the back of the chair, and all the blood in his body seemed to have settled in the top of his bead, lie discovered that he had been dreaming, but felt that he had been warned in a dream. After breakfast nextmorning.which was Saturday morning, he went hasti ly to hunt up an elder of tho church, to whom he related his dream, and in sisted that he must be wound up eve ry Saturday morning, or be could not run till Sunday. The elder pshawed at such an absurd idea, put gave him a good talking to, and that afternoon be missed bis customary spree. Alter that every Saturday morning he went to an elder and got wound up. This continued about a year, when one Sat urday morning he could find neither elder nor minister. All had gone off to a meeting of tbe synod. He was in great distress. That afternoon bo got drunk, went home cursing and swear ing. broka three chairs and all the china, turned his wife out of doors, locked tho door, and went to bed with his boots on. The police did not take him that time, but he remained at home. His wife, who knew and pitied his fa'Jities, crept back, through a win dow aRer be was asleep, and lyiuj down beside him, slept till her usua time for arising and going about her morning duties. At six o'clock, when she went to wind him UP for breakfast, she found he had run down forever. His heart bad oeased to tick. Neighbors were called in. He was cleansed for the last time, and laid away on the shslf, till the judgment day, when be will have to meet all the lame cog wheels, marred springs, solemn faced pendu lures, and the faces, hands and figures he forced to lie so sinfully during bis lifetime. A monument was erected ever him in tho form of a clock, with hands shaped like human bands the hour hand pointing to six, and the minute hand at twelve, to preserve the time $2 PER AN.NUM.' of his death, and aTso by a happy co incidence, to indicate tbe doubt his friends were in as to what had become of him. If one hand missed the other would hit. 11 B WANTED TO BE BOOTIIEO. A man with an ugly light in Lis eyes entered a saloon on TiTlary street yesterdsy. The bartender slid behind the counter and smiled at prospective profits, but the stranger waved bis hands and said: "I want none of your vile decoc tions. Mix me something to soothe rty raging thoughts T" "Uin and sugar 7" said the barten der. ' "Do you want to make a rarrinz volcano of me ?" exclaimed the stran ger. "I want something as soothing to ray tumultous thoughts as the mother's lullaby song to a weary child." "Take a milk punch t" "I want to bo soothed. 1 tell you ?" whooped the man. "lake a lom and Jerry 7 "Would a Tom and Jerry drive these wild raving thoughts away 7" "1 think it would, replied the bar tender, and be mixed one. He made it unusually good, and the man sipped it with great satisfaction and exclaim ed: Ah 1 that soothes me that does mo good that turns my raging thoughts into dreams or ' ecstatic blissl" As he wiped his mouth on the back of bis hand the bartender said: "Change, please." "Yes, that has changed me," was the reply. "1 want fifteen cents, if you please. for that Tom and Jerry." ".Look out, sir I 1 am soother, now, and don't get me raging again 1" "Rage be hanged 1 I want pay for that drink 1" "Look out for the reaction !" warned tho man. "I am calm and peaceful now, and I hope you won't bring back those terrible, fiendish thoughts which burned in my heart as molten lava slips down the rugged sides of Mount Vesuvius I" ' , "You pay foi that drink !" ''Now I rage again 1" yelled the man. "Now the soothing influence has passed away. Nothing on earth can calm me again 1 He hit the bartender between the eyes, tore down the stove, and would have made a sad wreck of things if the police hadn't stopped him. He was then taken to the station and locked up. After some three hours he called out : "I am soothed I am calm again But they didn't let him out. YOUNG BKNNETT'8 KNGAUEM12NT. The latest story about Jim Bennett's engagement . to Miss May, and the postponement or their marriage is as follows : Mr. Bennett gave a dinner party at bis house on Eifth avenue, some weeks ago, at which several la dies, including Miss May, were present Mr. tfennett rot very lively toward evening, and, the dinner being over, asked all the ladies to step down into the billiard room, when be would show them something they had never seen before. All went down, and having, in obenience to Mr. Bennett's request, ot un on tbe billiard-table, were sud only started by the entrance of two game-cocks, which, amid the shrieks of the ladies, who did not dare to get off the table, set to fighting in dead earnest The ladies screamed. Mr, Bennett laughed, and the cocks fought until, torn and bleeding, they were carried out. and the ladies were free to descend from their perch. Report says that Miss May was so disgusted at the behavior of her intended hus band that she was on tbe point of breaking her engagement, but finally it was agreed that the wedding should be postponed for six months, to give him a chance to repent, and lr mr. i is not on his good behavior during that time, the probability is that he will be able to add eno more to tho already large list of bis broken engagements.
