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

ality was lost conipletely, and they
simply gecmed a delicute spider's web
over the face of the watch She would

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,

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

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

make his toilet, with, strict injunc-

Entering the

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.

vember term of Jefferson Circuit
Court commences to morrow, and the
criminal docket is almost unpreceden-
ted in the judicial history of the coun-
try. Indictments have been found
against sixteen persons for murder,
whose cases come up for a hearing this
term. In addition to these there are
a number of others which have not
yet been acted upon by the Grand Ju-
ry. Among all this terrible array of
erime, there are but four cases, the
immediate cause of which has not
been traced to intemperance.

anti- Prussian organs here declare that
after ubilving France, Prussia will an-
nex all the German speakin le

make herself a great maiitime power,
Prussia will annex Holland. These
views have been presented strongly to
the Czar, who persists in declaring that
King William will always remain his
friend and ally.

the following local item which shows
the courage of the male sex in that re

——- Reptember 23, 1870 , of
this village, recently went to a pic nic
and was married for fun, but when he
returned to his boarding place the pas-
tor who married them gave him a cer-
tificate, and then he tried to coax his
wife to let it go as a joke, but, much
to his smiprise, his wite tried to make
him stick to the bargain. But he
whined, begged and teased till at last
she let it goas a joke! Oh what joy
the man had when she said she would
turn it off us a joke. He cried so long
that it made his eyes red, and hers wo.
The lady he married was a city
