In bis distress, Mr. Tattle cast bis eyes upward, and at once saw wbat arrested and direrted bis at tention. In a case were three clocks rnnniog. They were made of pre cions metals and prectdns stones, and glittered and flashed in the light of the wonderful - lamp in sach a .way as to dazzle and be wilder him. Looking under the case, be was startled to perceive a ing duties. He was in great distress. That af ternoon he got drank, went borne enrsiog and sweariog, broke three chairs and all the china, turned his wife out doors, locked the door, and went to bed with his boots on. -1 The police did not take him that time, bat he remained at home. His wife, who knew and pitied his frailties, crept back through a window after he was asleep, and lying down be side him, slept till her usual time ansing and going about her morn- The Old Clockmaker. Asa Tattle was an illustration of pair of human eyes gazing straight j Into bis own. He found- there was a face and part of a body, and the features seemed very familiar. He soon discovered that if he bad mat a twin brother the resemblance to himself could not possibly have been more exact. Indeed, after a little further observation, he found tbat be was looking into a mirror which reflected another minor be- Ato o'clock, when she went to wind htm up for breakfast, she found be bad run down forever.

But then be bad never before been favored witb an oppor tunity of seeing the inside of his own skull. Whether something or somebody spoke to him, or how it got into bis one hand missed, mind, be could not tell, but he was bit. able quite clearly to understand that one of these clocks governed all the physical movements. He saw that it was set to ran twelve boars, then it would ran down, all the voluntary motions would cease, and the machine would sleep. A a monument was erected over him in the form ot a clock, with tbe hands shaped like human arms and hands the hour hand pointing to 6, and the minute-hand at 12, to preserve tbe time or his death, and also, by a happy coincidence, to in dicate the doubt hia friends were in as to wbat had become of bim. .

C. tween responsibility and irresponsi bility are vague, variable and mys terious. Every Stturday night he got drunk, went borne and whipped his wile, earned and swore, broke some thing, and had to be quelled by tbe police, who took him to tbe cala bona. xt morning be was sober and repentant, and was let out He would then go to church, and after morning service, the pastor would request tbe elders of tbe church to remain awhile. Everybody always knew what that meant. With many tears, Mr. Tuttle would express his deep tenitence, and profess a de termination to lead a new life. The pastors and elders would forgive him, and be would be all right gaiu till Saturday. lie would teach in tbe afternoon Sabbath school, take his part in the prayer j meeting, and be to all outward ap pearance a most exemplary Chris tisn. Rut Saturday be would fall again. So it went on, year after year. Tbe officers of the church were sorely perplexed. There never was a man more regular in his habits, never a man who exhibited signs of deeper, more heartfelt peni tence, or promised more fathfully to amend. A distinguished physician. on being consulted, gave it as his .a . . a - opinion that the nntortunate man had become a ptey to a disease wbieh attacked bim periodically, causing for tbe time an irresistible tbirsc for liquor, wbicb, being taken, placed the victim beyond moral re sponsibility. One Friday evening Mr. Tuttle was sitting alone opposite bia work bench, lie bad laid down his tools, and was gazing musingly into the street, observing the burrjing passers-by, and listening to the tramp of feet on tbe pavement. He sat thus while the dusk gathered and just aa tbe first street lamp was be ing lit, be heard footsteps on the stairs, and then tbe owning of the door, and then walking on the floor, and at tbe same time tbe room was illuminated by the glare of the most brilliant light he had ever since, hardly excepting sunlight. A stranger, past middle age, in his shut sleeves, with spectacles on bis noee, advanced to tbe work-Wnch, and, setting down his lantern, began to handle Tuttlts. tools with a dexterity that proved him to be an expert He gathered together a screw-driver, tbe oil, and a pair of piliers. Then turning to Tattle, who felt incapable of speech or mo tion, the stranger seemed to use the screwdriver about Tuttle's head, appearing really to be taking screws out of tbe middle of bis forehead, his temples, and tbe sides and back of bia bead. These screws be laid on the table, and, turning to Tattle, lifted off the upper half of tbe old clock maker's aknll and set it down on the work bench. Then adjust ing an eyeglass to one eye, he took np the oil and a pair ot piliers, poked a little about tbe brain, abook bia bead, laid down tbe instruments, add started out. leaving hia lantern. Mr. Tattle called him to please come back. and pat bis skull on again, and though be shouted over and over again, with all his might, down in a minute, and there be was without any moral machinery any more than a cow. He saw also that tbe mainspring had the appearance of having been filed uearly in two in many places, numbers of the cog wheels bad lost one or more teeth, and in numerous places tbere was so much dirt and sticky oil, the works could hardly move. Now indeed his conscience smote him. He recollected tbat he had nearly filed many main-springs in two that tbey might run a few weeks and then break and be brought back to bim for repairs, when be wonld charge double price for the spring and double price for bis work, which prices were always paid cheerfully, because the extra amount seemed a sort of guarantee tbat tbe work was well done. He also frequently filed a tooth-nearly off, so tbat it would break and a new wheel have to be put in. Sometimes he would use sticky oil tbat would collect dirt, and tbat would bring bim a job of cleaning; and occasionally he would aay to his customers on looking into the works that a pinion had broken, and although it had not broken, and he did nothing but clean the works, he would charge for putting in a new pinion. He now perceived that every time be had put dirt or bad oil iu clock work, or broken a tooth or a pioiou, an equal amount of dirt or bad oil had been inserted in his moral ma chinery, and tooth for tooth' and pinion for pinion had been broken there, and consequently if matters continued long thus, the whole machine would fall down in a wreck, aud people would discover what had been going on in secret. Rut this was not the most alarming ; be saw a great wheel with only one tooth left. On counting the fract ares be found that it bad once con tained four hundred and ninety teeth. " Four hundred and ninety I Four hundred and ninety 1 Four hun dred and ninety III he ejaculated, in a bewildered way, and grasping at a vague, dreadful idea. " Why tbat is seventy times seven I And there I have been forgiven four hun dred and eighty-nine times, and there is no authority for hoping for more than one more chancel Be sides there are all tbe teeth gone but one, and when thai goes" as a t . 1 01 tear ne awoae. HE OPENED COURT. . Wm. Ruth is sheriff of Muskin gum county, Ohio. He is also of the Teutonic persuasion. When he was in blissful ignorance of his du ties, and was greatly troubled about the proper way of opening court, he confided his troubles to Con gressman Southard and several other young members of the bar. aud they coached him in his duties, ! li a i . . i i giviug uiui iu unuerstanu mat ue was a higher official than the court itself, and that Judge Frazier, of tbe Common Pleas, was in tbe hab it of interfering with the sheriff in a manner tbat no well regulated sheriff ought to tolerate. Py shimminy ish dot so V said the functionary. Veil yust vait till I opena the gort nnd he find that Bill Root ish not Pense Lloyd by a chug full.' When court came on Sheriff Ruth verified his prediction. For weeks be had been practicing on his opening speech, and when Judge Frazier turned to bim with a look of judicial dignity and said, 'Mr. sheriff, open the court.' Mr. Ruth struck an attitude and began : O yez, hear ye eferpoddy and de peo ples in sheneral, that the houorable Gort of Common Sessions, in un for ! de honorable poddy ot Mookingum county ish now in pleas, and dot its doors are open for to hear the gom blaints of all the yeomanry and gommon and take gognizance of all misdemeanor und, -Hold ou there! Hold on, Mr. S Lit riff. What is the meaning of all this rigmarole V ex claimed Judge Frazier. 'Shust bold a leetle on, Mr. IS budge,' returned tbe sheriff. 4 I'm Bill Root, the An Important Decision. , The Liability at Law of Married Women.. . We are indebted to our towns maan, A. K. Smedes, Esq., (says the Goldsboro Messenger,) for the following opinion delivered by Judge Rodman, one of the Justices of the Supreme Court, during the late term. The case invnlvM thai liability at law of married women, auu wenr. ud on aDneal from th Superior Court of Wayne county. Atkinson vs. Richardson.- It was held in Pippin vs. Wesson at this term that the Constitution in giving married women separate estates in their property, did not giveTto them a geueral power to contract. In order to charge the separate estate, iuo couiract must either expressly, or oy necessary implication from tue consideration or nature or it, manifest an intent to do so. But it such au intent so appeared and the contract was for the benefit of the married woman the courts would enforce the charge by selling the separate estate for the payment of ine aeoc. The question in the Dresent case is whether from the contract there is a necessary implication of an intent to charge the senarate estate S aT W-a. . . - oi Airs, uichardson T In August 1863. after the adoDtion ot the Constitution, but before the act of 1871-2, (Bat.

If Mrs. Richardson is liable to the plaintiff in the pres eut action, she will have lost by ber dealings with the plaintiff about $4, 000. If the i laiutiffs relief is con- ) finded to a charge ou the land which was the consideration of the note, of course he has no relief at all, as that land has been re-conveyed to bim. The question therefore is re duced to this : Did Mrs. Richardson by her con tract of July 21, 1869, charge all the separate estate which she had at that time with its payment, or only the estate which was the con nideialiou of the note! Mrs. Richardson is not liable at law by reason of her disability of cariture, and we are ot tbe opinion that the plaintiff has no equity upou which the cou tract will be en forced against any separate estate which she mav have had, other than that which was tbe considera tion of the uote. Tbere is no ex press reference to her separate es tate, and as there was no benefit to it, tbere is no implication of an agreement to charge it. The law, by giving to married women sepa rate estates in their property, did not convert them into free traders, with power to speculate and trade iu real estate. If it be said that this rule will enable married woman who buy land, to keep it if the bargain shall be a good one and abandou it if shall be a bad one, the answer is that all persons who deal with married women must be takeu to do so witb a knowledge of their disabilties. A married woman may purchase property for ready money, but not on credit, and she may contract debts for the benefit of separate projwrty, which she already owns, as far as building a house on it, &c The gift ot separate estates with this limited power of contracting in reiereuce to them, was intended for the benefit of married women. A wider coutration would in most cases lead to their ruin this is the view in taken other States. Joues vs. Coast waite, 17 Iowa 393. Carpenter vs. Mitchell, 50 111.470.

' ' - l can manufacturers, and have pro v. ed by experience that their fame has not been exaggerated. The sun does not set on the furrows carved by American plows. I f Closely allied to this industry! is the manufacture of axes. It may seem a common and insignificant article of merchandise, fitted only for pioneers and the backwoods. but it involves an immense amount of capital and the labor of a vast army of workmen. Science and skill are necessary to its manufac ture. To produce the implement in its perfection, the pressure of the hammer npon the steel must be del icately adjusted, the degree of tem pering must be nicely calculated, and every toochit receives from) first to last must be as carefully weighed as if i t were to be made of fine gold. Forty years ago the ax was roughly hammered out by the blacksmith, and the: purchaser ground it to an edge for himself. When the first trip bammer shop was built in a lit tle Connecticut village iu 1828; the diary of tbe projector of tbe indus try made this record: " Commenc ed drawing ax-patterns and making broad-axes with trip hammers ; each man tempered his own, forging and tempering eight axes per day. Now, in tbat same establishment, three thonsand axes can be prod ne ed daily; the annual sales are over a million dollars'; five thousand tons of iron and eleven hundred tons of steel are used each jear. and six hundred grindstonesj are literally ground away to powder Tbe tools for the manufacture are made on the spot. Tbe steel is cast and hammered, its toughness and tenacity being tbe work of an enor mous steam bammer: Wben the fineness and uniformity of the bar are secured, the head and bitt are shaped and joined, and the at is sent to the tempering-room. ' There the test is made, on which the fate ot the article depends. If, alter tempering in the cooling bath and drawing furnace, the ax stands the test of the hammer applied to its edge as it lies upon an anvil, it is ready to be put into the hands oi a purchaser, with confidence mar it will make its own record. There is a large variety of axes in' the mar ket, though tbe process oi mauuiac tare is in all cases the .same.: On tbe regular list are axes br miners, for turpentine-maKers, ior tue . est indies.

Dtauuiug yf ? Rip Van Winkle In theWhlto House, j . i, It is not generally known, but yet seems to be established on com petent evidence, that in the past seven years seven is a mystic number there has been in progress in this country, on a grand scale. one of those cases of oblivion tbat have so often! attracted the atten tion of poets and philosophers. Ir--" ving has set what may be called the oblivion myth, in a popular style," in the story of that idle and amiable old reprobate, Rip Van Winkle. It was written in another! age that a man walking through a forest heard tbe voice of a bird, and stopped to listen to the most entrancing music that ever smote human ears. He listened for a little while, as be thought, and then went on to the neighboring village ; but seven years had passed in what seemed to him a moment of delight. , This thought has, n short, reappeared from time to time in various forms, garnished with different fancies as the imaginations ot the poets of different countries adapted eacbrto the customs and comprehension of his own land the ever- applicable truth that a lifetime may slip away 7 in what will seem but a moment in the revelries of pleasure, and that, by the man who is lulled in the de lights of the senses, duty, honor and every vital obligation are forgotten. But, though this comes np as a fact at tbe national i capital T Yet that is the case before us.! It seems that as soon as Grant reached the White : House he fell into a! modified form of this kind of oblivion ; a lethean dimness came between bis vision and tbe world ; lethargy seized upon the warrior's will. This fully accounts for the change the people" noted in the character of the acts that were called Grant's acts before , he went into the White House and J the acts given out as his after that period. No effort was spared 1y men about him to guard his .slum ber to perpetuate the trance that : separated the hero from tbe world as it knew him. Babcock, the faith ful secretary keptA hop pillow un der his head! and filled the air with the vapor of ( poppies and the drow sy music.of well poised flattery.--Williams darkened the windows and packed! the keyholes to keep. out noise. Duties of this nature were divided between a dozen. And while tbey kept him in this slum berous condition they " ran him " as a piece of Presidential machinery. Tbey made appointments . through him governed in his name. So it went on for j seven years, y Then came a democratic investigating and waked him up, and now he comes forth to find himself in rags as to his reputation an old man in a world hecannot recognize, and gazed upon by people who cannot recognize in him the gallant soldier whom they elected President seven ; vears since a man who has slept! while the honse he was appointed 1 guard and keep has been tumbled to ruins about his ears. At such a sleeper indignation might be fierce L but for the pity that will rise with -it, and pity might soothe his re morse but for the truth that pity in in separable. from contempt, N I Y.
