DrcrMBer 24,1870 — - Mark Twain’s Wonderful Watch. My beau'iful new watch had run | eighteen or ninéteen months without losing or gaining, and without breaking [any part of its machinery or stopping. I had come to believe it infallible in its judgements about the time of duy, and to consider its constitution and anato my imperishable. But at lust, one night, I let it run down, I grieved about it us if it were a recognized mes genger and forerunner of ealamity, But by aud by I cheered up, set the watch by guess, and commanded my bodings and superstitions to depart, Next day I stepped into the chief jew- eler's to set it by the exact time, and the head of my establishment took it out of my hand and proceeded to set it for me. Then he said: “She is four minutes glow, and the regulator must be pushed up a little, and so, while I danced around him in anguish, and be- | seeched him to let the watch alone, he | calmly and cruelly did the shameful | deed. My watch began to gain. It] gained faster day by day. Within a | week it sickened to a raging fever, and | its pulse went up to a hundred and | fifty in the shade. At the end of two | months it had left all the time pieces | of the town farin the rear, and was a | fraction over thirteen days ahead of] the almanac. It was away into No- | vember enjoying the snow, while the | October leaves were still turning. It | hurried up house rents, bills payable, | and such things, in such a ruinous way that I could not abide it. 1 took it to the watchmaker to be regulated. lIHe asked me if I had ever had it repaired. | I said no, it had never needed any re- | pairing. He looked a look of vicious | happiness and eagerly pried the watch | open, then put a small dice box into | his eve and peered into its machinery. | He said it wanted cleaning and otling, | besides regulating—gome in a week] After being cienned and oiled and reg | ulated, my watch slowed down to that degree that it ticked like a tolling beil, I began to be'left by trains, I failed in all appointments, 1 got to missing my | dinner; my watch strung out three | days’ grace to four and let me go to | protest; I gradually drifted back into | yesterday, then day before, then into | last week, and by and by the compre. hengion came upon me that all solitary | | | and alone I was lingering along in| week before last, and the world was | out of sight. I seemed to detegt in wmy- | self a sort of sneaking fellow feelin | for the mummy in the museum, and a | aesire to swap news with him. I went | to a watchmaker again. He took the watch all to pieces while I waited, and | then said the barrel wis “swelled.” | He said he could reduce it in three | days, After this the watch averaged | well, but nothing more. For halt day it would go like the very mischief, and keep up such a barking and wheez- | ing and whooping and sneézing ‘and | snorting, that I could not hear myself | think for the disturbance ; and as long | as it held out, there was not a wateh in | the land that stood any chance against | it. But the rest of the day it would | keep on slowing down and footing | along until all the clocks it *had left | behind caught up again. So at | a i last, i at the end of twenty-four hours, it | would trot up to the judges’ stand all right and just on time. It would show a fair and square average, and no man could say it had dove more or less than its duty. But a correct average is only a mild virtue in a watch, and I took this instrument to another watchma- ker. Hesaid the king-bolt was: bro ken. I said I was glad it was nothing more serious. To tell the plain truth, I had no idea what the kingbolt was but Id d not choose to appear ignorant to a stranger. He repaired the king- bolt, but what the watch gained in one way it lost in another. It would run awhile and then stop awhile, and then run awhile again, and so on, using its own discretion about the intervals. And every time it went off it kicked back like a musket. I padded my breast for afew days, but finally took the watch to another watchmaker. He picked it all to pieces, and turned the ruin over and under his glass; and then he said there appeared to be some: thing the matter with the bair trigger. He fixed it, and gave it a fresh start. It did well vow, except that always at ten minutes to ten the hands would shut together like a pair of scissors, and from that time forth they would travel together. The oldest man in the world could not make not make head or tail* of the time of day by such a watch, and so I went again to have the thing repaired. This person said that the mainspring was not straight, He also remarked that part of the works need- ed hal{ soling. He made these things all right, and then my timepiece per. formed unexceptionably save that now and then, after working along’ quietly for nearly eight hours, everything in side would let go all of a sudden and begin to buzz like a bee, and the hands A ——————— hp 8 WL —————— C—O A and round so fast that their individus ality was lost conipletely, and they simply gecmed a delicute spider's web over the face of the watch She would real off the next twenty-four hour in six or gevin minutes and theo stop with a bang. 1 weut with a heavy heart to one more watchmaker sud lovked on | while he took her to pieces, Then I prefared to cross question him rigidly, or this thing was getting serious. The watch had cost $200 originally, avd 1 geenied to have paid out two or three thousand for repairs. While I waited and looked on { prectinly recoguized in th's watchmaker an old scquaiu- tunce—a steamboat engineer of other days, and not a good engineer either, He examined lf the purts carefully, just us the other watchmaker had done and then delivered his verdict with the snme confidence ui manuer, He said: “She mukes tos much steam—you want to hang the monkey wrench on the safety valve!” I brained him on the spot, and had him baried at my own expense, My uncle William (now diseased, alas!) used to say that a good horse | was a good horse until it had run away | onee, and that a good watch was a | good ‘watch until the repairers got a | Aud he used to wonder nt | chanee at it. | what became of all the unsuccessful | tinkers, and gunsmiths, and shoema- | | kere, and blacksmiths; but nobody | could ever tell him.~—December Gal- a Us December 2d, { ————— A —— a ————————— long and tedious illness, accompanied member ofa family dies, IL 80@INg Cru. el to affiiet it with futher sacrifices, far nore commendable ly of the decensed to solace them Ly the pecuniary nid that real gympathy would prow and bestow kind atten- tion to their wants, Their porrows would thus be assuaged and their loss materially lightened.

Absent Minded. The following is told of the absent mindedness of a clergyman of the church of Scotland: He married rather late in life, and the marriage tour wus on the continent. At one of the halting places, Mrs. ~———retired to the hymeniul bower in advaice of her lord, who sat for a time cogitating down stairs. Presently he eame to himself, and summoning the waiter, requested to be shown to his bedroom. le was, of course, shown to the room to which his wife had already retired. mony and what it involved, and re. turned upon the waiter with angry upbraiding for showing him to a bed- room already occupied by a woman! One Sunday morning he was dressing in his bed room, on a chair in which lay a train containing half a dozen shirts, starched with fitting clerical stiffness. He progressed leisurerly in his dressing till he came to attempt waist coat, when he fond ihat operation impossible. tet many ineffectual struggles, he called his wife to his aid, who like. wise found the waistcoat difficulty in- surmountable. explain the phenomenon, til! she hap pened to cnst her eyes on the shirt tray.

He at once went up stairs to make his toilet, with, strict injunc- tions from the good lady to be quick. Entering the bed roo, she found the worthy man placidly enjoying his first sleep. Having undressed, it seems that, in his absence of mind, he had taken it for granted that the natural sequel was to go-to bed, and he lay totally oblivious of the dinner party at the liard’s i A lp Feasting at Funerals. The practice of feasting at funerals after the burial is one of long standing, but its propriety and example of late vears have been questioned, and. the practice is gradually being abandoned To those who do not join in this old tie custom it seems particularly rep- rehensible for the friends and acquain- tances of the family just affiicted by death and mourning in the loss of a dear one to have their sorrows broken in_upon by a host of hungry visitors, whose only motive in many instances in attending the fuueral is, we doubt not, to feast at the expense of the afflicted. To turn a house of mourn- ing into one of feasting, where the hand of God has brought affliction for wise and inscrutable purposes, seems to us to be not only evidence of a total dis regard of the feelings of the bereaved, but of the purpose for, which the be- reavement was visited upon the family and relatives of the deceased. De: sides, the preparations 1ecessary to these festivities take the time which should Le devoted to private contem- plations, upon which no one should be allowed intrude except the nearest relatives and ost intimate friends, Where feasting is indulged from the time of the death until the funeral the family are employed in preparing the entertainment which is expected to be enjoyed by their friends ; and the news of the death of an acquaintance is probably often associated with the an- ticipation of a good repast free of ex- pense. In this way a death which carries affliction, sorrow, and often dis pair, into a family, fills the heart of a gourmand with a plesant and satisfac. tory anticipation of ‘a sensual pleas- ure, In addifion to these objections to feasting at funerals should be ad- ‘ded the tact that it often inflicts ex. pense upon families that they are ill prepaired ‘to’ bear. When, after a the fruit itself, prematurely perishing, is revived. Believing, with most persons, that the cause of the decay lay in worms at the root of the peach tree, he put in operation a plan which he had seen his father perform more than fifty years before; viz., of digging around the hase of the stem a hole four or five inches deep, scraping awav all the worms that could be found bur- rowing at the junction of the stem and ‘root, and filling the bole thus | made with wood ashes from the fire, which, of course, retained all their potash, This was done in the autumn | lowing spring at which he himself was | astonished. The trees appeared to | have heen restored to all their early | vigor and freshness; they put forth | bright green leaves, blossoming copi- ' ously, and bore a erop of fruit such as | they had never borne before, many of the branches breaking down under the Dr. Wood, in reflecting on these re- sults, noticed that several of the peach- trees had no worms, and came to the conclusion that we must look for an explanation to some ‘other cause than | the destruction ofa few worms; and | this cause he belived to be the ashes, the potash of which, being dissolved by the rain, had descended along the roots to the rootles, and presented to them the very food for the want of which they were dying. Decaying apple trees bearing stinted and ined: ble fruit, have been revived by a sim- ilar process, and with like results. Now is the time to adopt the experi- ment. a r——— a.

New London, ten mil 's west of here, | says the Kokomo correspondent of the Indiana olis Sentinel, was the scene of a novel transaction on Saturday evening. One Dr. J. L. Fuller, a practicing physician and local préacher, had long been suspee- ted of holding sweet converse with one Sarah Stevens, a gay young widow of about forty-five years of age. The wife of Dr. Fullar who by the way, is a very esti- mable lady, became jealous of them seine two years ago, and, by reason of said jos near two years under treatment at the in. sane hospital, About two mouths since she was returned home restored, and, in company with Sheriff Taylor, went to her residence. Her busbupd refused to let hap remin, and she was forced to seck a bunre with her wxaricd daughter. On lust evening she wy t'to the home of her hus- band for the purpose of seeing her ehildren. There are five remainiug at home... Upon appearing at the dow »he was ejected by ! the bratel bushand, sad her package of | clothing kicked by him from the doop-step. | The neighbors hearing the noise, at once rallied, and upon learning the cause, took the gentleman aside, and, after sowmd pret- ty rough treatment, stripped btm naked save bis pantaloons, and treated bin to a coat of tar and feathers. While the male portion of the town was thus engaged, the temale portion of the inbub tants had pro- ceeded to the residence of the widow, ad- wiinistering to her similar treatment. After they were both thoroughly comted, they were taken and placed as, tride on tworails and carried tide und side down the main street. : there are some cases, Whery law fails to meet the demands of justice.
