Sun-dials were tho first markers of time, but they 'werft never quite to be relied on. The fact is, the sun in more Irregular in his habits than many (rood nml confiding people Bupposa. Ho h sometimes careless about getting up in time, mid has been known to be ns much as half nn hour Into in reaching noon. In the 303 days of the year ho is right only four times, and so littlo dependence can be placed on him that astronomers havo been obliged to invent a sun, and make it mark: the hour of noon. This is called "mean time," making a day ol invariable length, which is not tho case w ith the solar day. Sun dials might do very well for primitive man or for the shepherds of Arcadia, but mean timo is the timo of civilized life. Hy mean time tho board of trade, tho banks, the manu factories and business houses are opened and closed. Without it there is no punctuality possible, no certainty, no secure dependence. For accurate mean time ve make tho watch and clock re sponsible and give the sun up as irre claimable, lor tho clock's noon and the sun's coincide only four times in the year. After the sun-dial came tho clepsydra or water clock, a transparent graduated vessel, rilled with water, which slowly dropped or trickled through an appcr tureatthe bottom. The intervals be tween the filling and emptying of the vessels, which, of course, varied with tho size of tho Tcssels, were called "wRtches." They were used in the Greek and Roman forums to timo the speeches of tho orators. One of Mar tial's epigrams counsels a dull orator who drank water constantly during his harangue to drink from the clepsydra, and thus relieve his audience as well as himself. The hour glass is a modifica tion of the clepsydra, substituting sand for water. Sun-dials and hour "glasses marked tho timo for onr forefathers be fore tho Revolution. There were very few watches or clocks owned in this country until after that time. Clocks were invented in the eleventh century, and were first supposed to have origi nated with the devil, but as the monas teries immediately adopted them, that idea was soon dissipated. They were very rude and clumsy contrivances until the pendulum was discovered by Galliico. "As untrustworthy as a town clock' is a proverb that has been long in vogue. Of the clocks in London Charles Lamb said they allowed him to "walk from the Strand to Temple Bar in no timo and gain five minutes." The watch was at first called a pocket clock, a name the Germans still adhere to, and was as large as a saucer and run by weights. The substitution of a spring for weights was made about 1550. Tho city of Nuremberg claims to be tho place where watches were first made, and it is certain that at first and for many years they .were called."Nuremberg eggs." For a long period watches were con sidered more as toys than as timekeepers, and the ingenuity of the artisan was ex erted to produce something novel or curious. All kinds of fantastic shapes were devised. Mary Queen of Scots had a watch shaped like a skull. Others were made, like a cross, a bird, a tulip, or any astonishing form the maker could imagine. They were inserted in snuff boxes, in fintrer rinjrs. in canes, in shirt studs, in bracelets, and even in saddles. In fact, the history of watches for nearly a century is a record of the wnimsicali tie9 and fertile ingenuity of watchmakers in accordance with the capricious and fantastic taste of the times. Finally, about a century ago, tho whtchasa time keeper was evolved, and it took on its present settled form. Then it wa9 that the name "turnip" was applied to it, be cause it had something of the shape of . that derided vegetable, and did not look beautiful like a cross, a pear, or a flower. "The watch," said a prominent jeweler to the Herald reporter, "has come to be one of the necessities of life, and, like every other necessity of life, it can be bought at any price and in all qualities. I can Bell you one for $C00, which, if you owned, you would believe the stars were set by it, so accurately does it keep time, and you can buy one for $2.50, which, would probably be as erratic in its motions as a comet, and yet would bo a watch by which you could guess the time of day. There is a Watchmakers and Jewelers'' Association in the United States, which meet annually. At our "last meeting it was reported that the daily demand for watches in this country amounted to nearly $4,000. Some few years ago we imported watches to the value of over $2,000,000,now our imports reach only about $400,000, showing that '-American made watches have at last won the day. Chicago Herald. What Evolution Tenches. In one of the late sermons on "Evo lution," by Henry Ward Reecher, he said that it taught that tho creation was not accomplished in six days of twenty four hours; that the work occupied ages; that nothiug was at first created perfect, but has been going forward to perfec tion; that tho earth itself was condeuaed from ether into a visible cloud form and increased in solidity through chemical Crocess aquatic invertebrate animals cing its first inhabitants. The earliest mammals were the marsupials, like the opossum and kangaroo; it was doubtful whether man came hi the tertiary period j i or immediately seuuenr. m tins, jur. -, Beccher said, he quoted from Professor citizen !r)anll) an(j as tnus stated,, evolution was thority ; epted by ninety-nine per cent, of the public COUrking scientists of the world. It was less one ot '.lit iu all advanced colleges and imi- the Iiepubh'cs, and if cast aside civilization ffclt not iuerelKo.ljk,int0 tha?3- To,lh(; ft:'!!"

Though to select a subject of treatei aolcinnity than that of death would b impossible, tho student of tho literature of the churchyard cannot fail to be struck with the important part played therein by humor often of the broadest descrip tion. To do the writers justice, says a Detroit journal, it is in many cases of the unconscious kind. Thcro was no in tentional disrespect to the memory of John Hews Kicked by a boss. And it may have been in deep dejec tion that tho friends of tho unfortunate youth killod during a pjrotechnic dis play, wrote upon his tombstone ; Here I lie, Killod by a sky Kocket in my eye. r While its Caledonian origin borno In mind (it hails from Edinburgh, there was probably no premeditated levity to the lines in memory of John Maepherson that wonderful person Six foot two without his shoe And slew at Waterloo. Tho humor of tho following is merely due to peculiar punctuation: Erected to the memory of John Phillips Accidentally shot as a mark of atfectiou by his brother. It is dillicult to say whether in jest or monition tho following was inscribed to tha memory of an earl of Kildaro: Who killed Kildare Who dared Kildare to kill? Death killed Kildare. Who dnre kill whom he will. Sepulchral references to tho former pursuits of the departed havo been very common. Lawyers whose lammantv with "ways that are dark" have called for censure; and doctors whoso profes sional ministrations "have filled the half of this churchyard" havo formed the principal subjects. Exception is made in favor of a legal ornament, ono Mr. Strange, but at tho expense of his broth er practitioners Here lies an honest lawyer Stranpe! Tho proposed epitaph to the eminent cook, Alexis Soyer: Teace to his ashes, Is well known. Less known but more admirable is that upon a deceased dyer Here lies a man who dyed of a wool a great store. One day he died himself and dyed no mors. The conjugal relation, sad to say, has suffered sharply at the hands of the epi taph writer and, sadder still to record, the weaker vessel has called for the se verest auimadversian. Epitaphs of this class have usually been coarse aud vul gar, in the strain of the following: Here lies my poor wife a sad slattern aua shrew; If I said I regretted her I should lio too. A talV-ative spinster is awarded these lines: Under this stone the body lies of Arabella Young, Who on the twenty-fourth of May began to hold her tungue. Independent of its interest ns a record of longevity, there is a sporting flavor about tho following reference to one Stephen Ruinblood, of Brightwell, quite unique : He lived to 105, hearty and strong; 100 to 5 you don't live as long. A request for burial in a particular spot is not uncommon, though seldom expressed with naivete of the following: Under the yew tree, buried ho would be, Because bis father he, planted this vew tree. Uuitsfield, 1701I. The following, dedicated to the mem ory of departed matrons, is worth rescu-, ing from oblivion : Some have children, some have none; Here lies the mother of twenty-oije. Woulstanton, A severe blow is dealt to the sanitary reputation of the medicinal epring of Cheltenham in the lines below: Here I lie. and my three daughters. All killed tnrougu drinking LUeltonlium waters. Had we but stuck to Epsom salts We shouldn't be lying in these cold vaults. In fitting conclusion may be quoted tho following rebuke administered to the morbid curiosity to satisfy which has been ono of the missions of tho epi taph. In slightly varied forms it has been met with in divers corners of Eng land, but was last heard of in a church yard in New Jersey: Header, pass on, nor waste your precious time On bad biography or better rhyme, For what I am this crumbling clay assures, And what 1 was is no concern of yours. An Art Treasure Recovered. "Carp" tells tho following in Iho Cleveland Jjtadtr: "Just as you go into the otlice of the assistant secretary of the treasury you may see on tho right wall a tine portrait of Ueorge ashing ton in a gilt frame. It is a bust picturo iu oils, and is wonderfully lifelike and rich in its colors. It looks something like a Stuart, but it has a softer and not so florid a coloring. This picture was resurrected within the past few weeks by Assistant Secretary of tho treasury Coon from the dust room in tho base inent, where it had been laying for gcne rations. The carpenter of the treasury called Mr. Coon's attention to it, and said he intended to clean it and reframe it aud hang it up in his shop. Mr. Coon thought it might be worth hangin somewhere else, and had it properly cleaned. When the dust and dirt wa removed this beautiful AVashington ap peared. No oue knows now who paint ed it. but it is undoubtedly one of the finest pictures among the many artwork of the capital." Tlio Sexes In a llnsslan Province. la the Kussian province of Oourlan etiquette is excessively rigorous. Still bows form the uenrest approach to cor iittlity here permitted between the young unmarried people of the opposite sex. Very few opportunities are atlorded them of being better acquainted. Even at dancing parties tho gentleman is sup posed to quit his partner immediately on the conclusion of the polka or waltz, tiirls are kept undereousiant supervision from the moment of birth to that of be trothal. L'nuiariied ladies ar;s uot sup posed to occupy the seat of honor on the sofa. Betrothal entirely changes all this formality into a really objectionable ex hibition of sentiment. ' Hilling and coo ing, caresses and endearments are in dulged in in public without the least re gard to delicacy or good taste. JVeie i vrk AlaU and ..rpras. Tho Effect of Wind on Salt Crystal! Cuarso salt is made In tho West In dies by tho solar evaporation oT sea water. The places chosen for its production are .elected on account of tho extraordinary saline strength of tho water there. Tho water is allowed to run into shallow ponds direct from tho ocean, and when a proper depth has been obtained, gen erally two or three feet, the entrance to the pond is closed and the water is evap orated by tho sun and winds, and a do posit of salt is left. It requires about four months to evaporate three, feet of water. Tho salt is then gathered into piles ready for delivery. Its qual ity depends almost entirely upon tho Gspriccs of nature. A dry and windy season will produco large nnd hard crystals, the most desirable characteris tics of coarse salt, while if littlo wind blows tho salt is fine-grained Bnd poor. The President's Desk. The desk at which tho President sits was presented to the United States by Queen Victoria during tho Hayes ad ministration, aud was formerly a part of the Arctic relief vessel Resolute, which went in search of Sir John Franklin. After numerous encounters with the ice in tho polar regions tho Resolute was found drifting helplessly by a United States man-of-war. It was towed into a harbor, refitted, and returned to Eng land by the government, and when final ly broken up some of tho pieces wero utilized for the desk at which tho Presi dent of tho United States transacts his business. On a small silver plate im bedded in the woodwork is nn appropri ate inscription, which gives tho details of ho w and when the Resolute was found and finally disposed of.

"Love Sees No Faults," has been said: but, when a woman Is ratrircd down, emaciated, wan, and a shadow of her former self, with never a hecrful word, she can be no longer beauti ful or lovable.

This single coral nnimnl (quite unlike an insect, and it is quite timo for books to omit that designation coral insect) is like the sea anemones, Actinias, or sca flowert, some species of which we see on the rocks of our northern co-st. It is a small tube of flesh, with a stomach, and tentacles surrouudiug it, which move about in scach of food and conduct it to the mouth. Tho nervous aystem and blood system are of the most simple kind. Of course, in a creature so low in the scale of life, there is no head, nor are there special organs of sense, such as for seeing uud hearinir. They are popu larly called animal flowers. This little creature soon develops a hard covering or shell, secreting from its exterior a shell from the lime which is held in so lution by the sea-water, just as the clam j or any shell fish secretes the lime which i makes their shells. And these lime cov erings are analogous to the skeletons of higher animals, though in ou3 case the lime skeleton is iu-ide, in thu other out side. After a little the soft young coral, having settled itself upon a solid footing on the bottom of the sea, like myriads of others around it, exhibits a white cal careous coating on portions of it, aud in a short time has deposited from its soft exterior aud partitions of its interior a solid lime tube with dividing walls. This is a coral "pure and simple." A great block many feet in diameter is nq mor e than simply a congregation of many of these. When the little single coral is perfect in its lime tube, it buds, and in creases itself thereby, adding constantly .cither iu this way or by tho omission of ffgs. .AVio Yvrk L'cening J'o$t.

For instance, Ayer's Sarsaparilla is a perfectly genuine medicine, but there are plenty of so-called Sarsaparillas in the market that have no Sarsaparilla about them except the name. I have been in the Prut? business, In Lowell, for thirty years, wiJ sell nioro of Ayer's ersapurilla Uiuu of till other Sar sa'purillus combined. Being thoroughly familiar with the iiiiulyiiis of this medi cine, and knowing the care uud ekill em ployed iu its composition, I urn certain it coutatus nothing tiuit could not be recommended by the most scrupulous phy sician. It is made of tho true Honduras Sarsapnrilla, and of other blood purifiers, the beet known to medical science, and is a grand specific in chronic cases, such us Scrofula, Salt-Kheuni, Erysipelas, Kidney Diseases, and troubles of the Stomach uud Liver. Many so-called tiarnupurillas are such only iu name: they do not contain a particle of the real medicinal t-arsaparilla rot. Geo. C. Osgood, M. IX, UriiKgist, Merrimack, cor.
