The old Clockmaker.
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

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.

"Uin and sugar 7" said the barten

"Do you want to make a rarrinz

ed:

As he wiped his mouth on the back

"Change, please."
"Yes, that has changed me," was
the reply.

".Look out, sir I 1 am soother, now,

"Rage be hanged 1 I want pay for

"Look out for the reaction !" warned
tho man. "I am calm and peaceful
now, and I hope you won't bring back

"You pay foi that drink !"
''Now I rage again 1" yelled the
man. "Now the soothing influence

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 :

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.
