New Vim, Minn CATHERINE. Ir you think the lovers I am going to toll about were a pink and white girl, with sweet eyes and hair, and a tall, handsome fellow saying softthiogs ArerV JPwtfjrfine get and cried: mistaken. ar We had been at summer hotels, at the seaside, and among the mountains, where pert Irish girls, and sometimes perter Yankee ones, .flaunted round tho parti-colored costumes, and with* hair frizzled and pulled over their eyes, a la poodle. We were tired of people, and wanted to rest so we induced a farmer's wife to count us among her family, and let us share their fresh batter and sweet cream. These and the strawberries, and the chickens, were all very nice, but the most refreshing sight there was a real genuine servant. She was a middle-aged woman, with horny hands, hair touched with gray, and a patient, sad expression in her eyes. Her voice was low and pleasant, and her smile very winning, although she was uncommonly plain, and bore marks of an encounter with that de stroyer of beauty-the small-pox. Catherineshe answered to no such pet name as "Katy," or "Kitty" always wore a clean, well-starched print, with a frill i.t the same at the neck a checked apron, tied with tape around her waist, and her hair was al ways combed smoothly over her fore head. She was one of those rare women who can get up a dinner, and then, as if by magic, put herself inper fect order to serve at table. Catherine was doing double duty at this time. The boy, whose duty it was to milk seven cows and feed two hun dred hens, had gone home, ill, and as the men were all busy in the harvest his work came on her. The farmer had gone down to New York to another man, and was expected ome the next day. That evening, we went out to tee Catherine milk, and, as wo stood be side her and the delicate buff-colored Jersey cow she was milking, we fell into conversation with her. She told us she was well acquainted with her work, having been a farm servant in Hengland." She thought work lighter and wages better here than there, and remarked: if servants were willing to be like servants here, and not DO always struggling to look like ladies, they might lay by a good bit for a sick day, or for old age. I said tbat it was cheering to meet one who was contented with her lot upon which she heaved a deep sigh, and I saw that it was the same old story- an aching void," if no deeper sorrow. She did not look up, nor court sym pathy, but 1 could not help saying: "I suppose you left your parents behind, and your brothers and sis- ters?" No my parents died when I were a bit of a child. My brother died ten years ago." "Well, one sighs for the very green earth of his native land," I said. "Oh, well, I don't know about that, ma'am I never think of that. It's just as green and sweet here. God's earth is about the same all over and again there was a deep, deep sigh. We followed Catherine as she bore the shining pails into the dairy, and there we met the lady of the farm. Yes, we mean just that, for she was a lady as well as a farmer's wife. She met Catherine with a smile, and said: "Be patient one more milking, Catherine. The master's coming to morrow with a man who wfll be twice the help to you Joe was." Catherine smiled and replied: I'm not a-weary, and neither am I im patient, ma'am." We left the brick-floored dairy, and as we passed into the sitting-room, I said to the lady, "That woman has some great sorrow." "Oh, no only perhaps a little 'omesick for hold Hengland was the reply. "She has been with me two years, and has never spoken of any trouble. "Ihave had my suspicions, howev- er," she added, "that she might have a husband somewhere, although she passes for an old maid** The worthy man in our cottage, who has a nice home and some money, wanted to marry her, last winter, to secure a good mother for his boys. But sho said, 'No, that she 'ad no 'eart for mar rying.' When the open wagon came up from the depot, about sunset next day, we all wentto the kitchen door to welcome "the master," and to take a peep at the new man. Catherine stood in the doorway, the picture of neatness. She was dressed in one of her Henglish gowns," in which good-sized cowslips reposed on a ground of refreshing lilac color. I complimented her dress, and her high-topped comb, and her broad mus lin collar, whenshe smiled and replied: These all were given me at a fair at 'ome, years agone, and I have worn them but twice. Some way, I just felt like dressing up this afternoon. Per haps it was to please you, who have spoke sokind to me." "Thank you, Catherine. Here comes the wagon. See what a great muscular fellow the master has brought!" The master gave the reins to one of the hay-makers whowas just coming in to tea, bade another to take Timothy's ""box" into the barn-chamber, and then he walked into the kitchen with his new giant, saying* "Come in and get your supper, so as to feel at home before you go to your room. Catherine!" Catherine nad fled and the man,who had caught a glimpse of her, stood looking at the door through which she had vanished, his eyes and mouth wide open. Catherine, come now and give your countryman a good supper!" called the farmer. In a moment she appeared in the doorway, as pale as marble and the great, good-looking, middle-aged man made abound for her, and caught her in his arms, and showered kisses which sounded like the report of patent pop-gunson her pale face. He then held her off at arms1 length "J_ it ye, indeed, Catherine, that I thought dead, found by a mericle?" "O Timothy!" gasped Catherine, "I'd long thought ye deadinHaua tralial" I never set foot on it, sinner as I was to tell ye I was goin\" Here we all withdrew from what should be a strictly private conference. That night Catherine tapped at my door and, when admitted, she said, with a courtesy: I couldn't let ye sleep, ma'am, till Fd explained, lest ye might think me an onmodestgirl that a stranger would dare be kissing. "Timothy and me were'trothed to each other at 'ome, and for four years we were struggling to lay up a bit to come to Hamerica with. I was by natur' a bit sad, and 'e was the mer riest lad in the town. would teaee me at times, telling me found a fairer nor me, and would marry her, and so used to fret me. "But we'd always make and 'e'd say *e wouldn't change me for any girl in the land. But 'e'd soon be hat Regain. "'E tried it onee too hofton. 'E came in, sayin' 'e was goin* hoffto Haustralia, and wouldn't be back for ten years, and bid me farewell. I couldn't bear the mortification, and I made up my mind to leave Hengland. When night came, I put my box in the wagoners 'ands, and went to Liverpool, and took ship for 'ere. I halways thought, 'im in Haustralia, and 'e thought me crazed ordead when I was nottobe found. But 'e's suffered enough, poor dear lad. Aye, though such long years ha' gone by, 'e's never loved another, and *is 'eart is just breakin' wi' gratitude to God for bringing 'im safetome. 'E's promised, solemn as an oath, never to tease me more, and I've pledged me never to be a silly loon, but a wise, sensible woman, worthy to be .'is wife. I've asked leave of the mistress to gotothe minister with 'im to-morrow and the master 'imself offered to drive us 'hover in 'is best wagon." But you have no wedding dress," I said. O dear lady, if I 'ad a thousand o' 'em, I'd throw them all aside and wear the cowslip gown that Timothy gave me at the fair!" The next evening, we had a wedding supper in the dining-ioom and we all waited on Catherine and Timothy. We gave them wedding-presents, and wished them joy, and made them the happiest couple in town.Mrs. J. D. Choplin, in Youth's Companion. Detroit Rival of the Strasburg Clock. MB. FELIX MEIER, an ingenious me chanic of this city, has constructed a clock which, in the number, variety and accuracy of its performances, eclipses the far-famed Strasburg clock, which it resembles in some par ticulars. It was exhibited on Saturday at the residence of Mr. Meier, 477 Sherman street, to representatives of the press and a few specially invited guests. The clock stands eighteen feet in height and is enclosed in a black walnut frame elaborately carved and ornamented. It is called the American National and Astronomical Clock. Very appropriately the crowning figure isthat of Liberty, upon a canopy over the head of Washington, who is seated upon a marble dome. The canopy is supported by columns on either side. On niches below at the four corners of the clock are four human figures representing infancy, youth, manhood and age. Each of these figures has a bell in one hand and a hammer in the other. The niches are supported by angels with flaring torches, and over the center is the figure of Father Time. The strik ing of this clock is its interesting per formance. At the quarter hour the figure of the infant strikes its tiny bell at the half hour the figure of the youth strikes its bell ot louder tone at the third quarter the man strikes his bell, and at the full hour the gray beard. Then the figure of Time steps out and tolls the hour. Then two small figures throw open doors in the columns on either side of Washington, and there is a procession of the Presi dents of the United States. As the procession moves Washington rises and salutes each figure as it passes, and it in turn salutes him. They move through the door on the other side and it is then closed behind them. The figures of the Presidents are pretty fair likenesses of the persons they are intended to represent. This procession moves to the accompani ment of music played by the clock it self. The music machinery is capable of playing several airs, especially na tional and patriotic airs. Another interesting feature of the clock is an orrery which shows the movements of the earth, moon and planets, all perfect and controlled by the machinery of the clock. There are dials which show the hour, minute and second in Detroit, Washington, New York, San Francisco, London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, St. Petersburg, Con stantinople, Cairo, Pekin and Mel bourne. The clock also shows the day of the week and month in Detroit, the month and season of the year, the changes of the moon, etc., the whole forming most wonderful and compli cated machinery. Mr. Meier has worked upon this clock nearly ten years, and for the last four years has devoted his whole time to it. He is a Bavarian by birth, is about thirty-four years of age and has lived in this country thirteen years. He is a stone-cutter by trade and was employed for a number of years in the stone-yard of David Knapp. To fur nish him time and means to complete this clock a joint stock company was formed called the American National and Astronomical Clock Company, with a capital stock of fifty thousand dollars, and this company now owns the clock, upon which it has expended in actual cash some seven thousand dollars. As before stated, the frame is very rich and elaborate, having been designed and carved by Mr. Ferdinand Lapp. The devices are not only beau tiful but are appropriate.Detroit Post and Tribune. Declined the Honor. The very first letter opened by the Secretary of the Lime-Kiln Club, as he turned to his desk, caused a grand flutter of excitement in the hall. It contained a communication from the President of a well-known college con ferring upon Brother Gardner the title LL. D., and upon Sir Isaac Walpole that of A. B. "Fo' de Lawd.but jisslissentodat!" yelled Trustee Pullback, as he rose up and swung his hat. There was a grand yell from every member present, and during the ex citement Samuel Shin managed to get in his work on the stovepipe, knock ing it down for the fifth time this summer. When the excitement some what subsided, the President rose and said: Gem'len, I am tooken by surprise. Had a pocket-book wid fifty dollars in it dropped frew de roof, de cold chills couldn't creep up my back any faster. But, surprised or prepar'd, dar am but one coursetotake. I shell decline de title." A groan of anguish resounded through the hall. *'Gem'len, you forgit dat titles am only worn on de sleeve," continued the President. We hev seen judges put off de bench for corrupshun. We know aldermen who kin be bought fur money. Doctors of divinity hev stolen horses, and bachelors of art hev robbed smoke-houses. I has tried hard to win de title of an honest, hard-workin' compliment, an' I am pleased to see de club take it as an honor, but I must firmly declinetolengthen out my name." Gem'len an' brudders," began Sir Isaac as he rose up, I am an ole man. Ize gittin' sd tremblin' an' fee ble dat I kin hardly walk about, an' I know dat de time am not fur ahead when dey shell h'ar my knock at Heaven's gate. I bev triedtodo right by all, an' dat feelin' am worf a fou sand times more to me dan all de ti tles all the colleges in the land kin kiver me up wid. Tell 'em dey hev my thanks, but dey kin tie de title to somebody who needs it afore he kin git trusted atthegrocery.Detroit Fru Press. J, i $ i.v: "S jjji^- ,,w Stealing a fleets. OKB of the traditional Judges'whose wit supplies the lack of legal learning lives in Aroostook County, Maine. The following account of the wayhe decided a complaint against one Filchum, charged with stealing geese, is amus- sir. Filchum laughed the poor com plainants to scorn. He had hundreds of geese of his own, but never a goose on his place belonging to anybody else. He would like to see them prove their property. Ayethere was the rub. In a flock of four to live hundred geese it would bevery difficult for the unfortunate men to select their own, even allowing them to be there. The case was brought before the Judge, and' when he had heard the stories of the losers, andhad questioned them sufficiently, he was inclinedtothe belief that they told the truth. He re flected upon the subject, and finally laid down the course he would pursue. He ordered that the man in change of Mr. Filchum's geese should gather together all the geese upon the place, and repair with them to an open piece of cleared pasture land, on rising ground, at a point about half way be tween the two localitiesthe farm of Mr. F. and the farms of the complain ants. The thing was done, and the whole flock was there fed with a quantity of prepared dough but only food enough given to keep them quiet As might be expected a largeconcourse of people had assembled to see what wonderful thing the Judge would do for he had declared that he would at that place give his decision. Well, evening drew on very shortly after the geese had eaten the last of their meal, and the Judge then directed that every person, saving alone the four parties in the suit, should withdraw behind a thick copse of birches and maples, and when they had gone, the farmers were to call outtothe geese, as was their wont when gathering them for the evening meal, and then each wastoturn toward his homeand we will say that from the elevated position where the gathering had been held the farm buildings of all were in sight those of the three complainants being in one direction, and those of Mr. Filchum in a direction nearly opposite. The thing was done just as the Judge had directed, and the result was magi cal. A little old Kanuck, named Tobit, was thefirsttocall to his brood: Hi! hi! Allans! Allans! venez avee tnot/" and thus calling he waved his hand to ward a patriarch which he had quickly recognized, and which had as quickly recognized him. The keeper of Mr. Filchum yelled with all his might, and gesticulated furiously but in spite of all he could do the geese separated themselves into four tribes about twenty of them wad dled off after old Tobit, fifteen more followed his neighbor Bunkum, while another fifteen, or thereabouts, took to the heels of Pierre Sabot. The beholders saw and understood. The cause was decided before their very eyes, and when the Judge rendered in sentence that Mr. Filchum should pay over to the complainants one young, healthy goose for each and every one he had certainly purloined from them, the multitude applauded an the discomfited husbandman the g1d oose-lifting Filchumcould only rx shame, and submit.AT. Y. Ledger. A Wall Built of Statues. Two striking instances of the wan ton destruction of works of art after the fall of the Empire have been ob tained in the last few days. A few yards from the so-called Temple of Mi nerva Medica, in Rome, a wall was dis covered built with statues. Seven have already been put together, as I mentioned in my last letter. Not far from the same place we are exploring a foundation wall, eight feet square, built with same materials. The upper strata contain slabs of marble stripped from pavements and from walls, steps, lintels, thresholds, etc. The middle strata contain columns, pedestals, capitals, all split into fragments. Fi nally, at the bottom of the wall, stat ues begin to appear of exquisite work manship, together with busts, hennas, bas-reliefs, etc. The stratification of these marbles shows that at the time when the foundation wall was being constructed there was in the neighbor hood a shrine, a temple, a fountain, or some such monument, in good preser vation and profusely ornamented. The masons first took advantage of what ever was movable without difficulty, and accordingly we find the statues at the bottom of the trench. Then they put their hands on what was half movable, and this is the reason why columns, capitals, etc., are found in the middle strata. A further want of materials obliged them to attack at last the building itself, its steps, thresh olds, etc.The Athenaeum. In Great Britain are published 1,885 newspapers and 818 periodicals, which, with 56 organs of learned and othe societies, make a total of 2,759 publi cations, 486 newspapers and 598 pe riodicals being contributed by London alone. Of the newspapers 542 are Lib eral, 331 Conservative, or Conservative Liberal, and 941 neutral. Three hun dred and ninety-eight of the periodi cals deal exclusively with religious questions. There are 287 illustrated papers, of which 33 have colored illus trations. Questions relating to labor are treated of in 14 newspapers, while there are 104 prints representing trade? und trade socities. BRISTOL, Va.-Tenn., is perhaps the only city in the world with two mayors, two city governments, police, etc., and that is taxed in two States. The line between Tennessee and Virginia is in the center of Main street. The fugitive commits a crime in Virginia, goes to the pavement on the other side of the street and talks defiantly to the officer on the opposite side, who has a war rant for his arrest. No MATTER how well anyone may have succeeded, or howmuch of wealth he may be able to leavetohis children, those children should be taught how to earn, and when earned howtoecono mize, how to save, how to plan, how to make. The more wealth a person has the more need for him to use double diligence to teach his children to be self-relying and self-supporting, for the very circumstances themselves of a poorman's home teach these things whether he does his duty or not.Ir. 8. Coffin. "ANOTHER burglary on my square last night," said old Dr. Willis, while dining with his partner the other evening. For my own part I'm tired of paying taxes for the privilege of being robbed. Don't really see how the police can help arresting some thieves now and then, if only by acci dent, unless, indeed, the police are the burglars themselves. How is it that you are never robbed Joe?" "Simplest thing in the world. All you need is a knowledge of human nature. Now, I'll bet there are three or four police men in this house at the present moment Let's go and see." And Joe led the way down into the base ment, and the company peeped through the kitchen door. Sure enough, there sat four officers. One was fixing the fire, one was picking chickens, while the other two were shelling, peas and singing a chorus from "Pinafore." "Welll'mblessed!" said old Willis. "How do you manage it?"

Some of the gentlemen of the Sewing Machine Committee were residents of Europe, others of America, and they were all selected on account of their peculiar fitness to perform the task imposed upon them. They spent over six weeks in examin ing sewing machines, and the tests applied were most tborongh and exhaustive.
