Thompson's Clock.
There is a clock in our place
That regulates the town,
With tiny hands and pretty face, ' r
Though it looks old and brown. , .
The rarest clock that e'er I sawj
It beats all clocks, I know, - ' .
It went and stood in Noah's ark
Four thousand years ago. "
There is a clock in our place
At THOMPSON'S store 'tis found;
'Tis called the regulator here,
And rarest clock in town.
Just call at Thompson's Hatter's Store,
And see this old clock go.
And buy a hat In place of one
Bought twenty years ago.
This Thompson keeps on Clinton strcot.
The clock is in his store,
And has been running, without feet
Four thousand years and more.
Now, if you don't believe me, Tom,
Just call in as you go,
And buy a Cap in place of one
Bought twenty years ago.
'Twas put up by George Bolsinger,
An artist of our town, .
The wheels' are made of wood and brass.
And all seem pretty sound.
And now my last advise, dear Tom, .
Is, stop in as you go,
And buy some Boots in place of those
Bought twenty yeers ago.

THE QUAKER'S CORN-CRIB.
A man had been in the habit of stealing
corn from his neighbor, who was a Quaker.
Every night he would go softly to the crib,
and fill his bag with the ears which the good
old Quaker's toil had placed there. Every
morning the old gentleman observed a dimi
nution of ' his corn pile. This was very " an
noying, and must be stopped but how ?
Many an one would have said, "Take a gun,
conceal yourself, wait till he eomes, 'and fire."
Others would have said, "Catch the villain,
and have him sent to jail." ! ' ,1". "
But the Quaker was not prepared to'enter
into any such measures. He wanted to pun
ish the effender and at the .same time bring
about his reformation, if possible. So he fix
ed a 6ort of trap close to the hole through
which the man would thrust bis arm in getr
ting the corn. . " ' "
The wicked neighbor proceeded on his un
holy errand at the hour of midnight, with bag
in hand. Unsuspectingly, he thrust his hand
into the crib to seize an ear, when, lo! he
found himself unable to withdraw it ! In vain
he tugged, and pulled, and sweated, and al
ternately cried and cursed. His hand was
fast, and every effort to release it only made
it the more secure. After a time the tumult
in his breast measurably subsided. He gave
over his uscIces struggles and began to look
around him. All was silence aud repose.
Good men were sleeping comfortably in their
beds, while he was compelled to keep adrea
ry, disgraceful watch through the remainder
of that long and tedious night, his hand in
constant pain from the pressure of the cramp
which held it. His tired limbs, compelled to
sustain his weary body, would fain have sunk
beneath him, and his heavy eyes would have
closed in slumber, but no ! there was no rett
or sleep for him. There he must stand and
watcb the progress of the night, and at once
desire and dread the return of morning,
Morning came at last, and the Quaker looked
out of his window and found that he had

The good old man hurried on his clothes, and
started at once to the relief and punishment
of his prisoner.
