The number of great generals who were never defeated in battle is very smalt Even Julius Caesar, one of the most fortunate of generals, was defeated at Gergovia and in one of his minor engagements with Pompey.

Xbe First Known Watch Made In 1074?A Watch Made Entirely of Wood and Ivory?Napoleon's Watch, i PURIXG the period of the World's Columbian Exposition, the Jewelers' Circular devoted considerable 6pace iB its columns to the history and description of the watches showing the progress made in horology, contained in the exhibit of a Geneva (Switzerland) firm. Through the courtesy of the Scientific American, we now present FIGURE 1.?WATCH MADE ] fine engravings of 6ome of these historical timepieces. Figure 1 shows the first known fratoh. The outer case, which contains the movement, is represented as apen, so that the dial can be seen. The peculiar key used to wind the watch is shown at the side. This watch was made in 1U74 by Jtiassaii coming farther is known of the watch, or tvho Hassan Emin was, or where he lived. _ FIGURE 2.?NAPOLEON'S WATCH. That he was a most excellent watchmaker is evidenced by the remarkable quality of the work in the movement. The case is of bronze, worn and indented by age, and is cracked in places, one crack near the hinge being shown in the illustration. It is evident the outside of the case was originally ornamented in elaborate Arabic designs, but this ornamentation is nearly all worn off, and the fire gilt which covered the case has disappeared, except in the depressions, where it is still bright. The figures on the dial are also in Arabic. There is one hand, and this is heavy, giving the watch much the appearance of an inexpensive compass. In the back of the case is a hole through which the key is passed to wind the watch, and the key, as seen in the illustration, is of the crank style so extensively used not many years ago in winding the old fashioned weight clocks. The movement can be taken out of the case, and, when examined nnder a glass, is found to be in a fine state of preservation. The wheels are engraved in Arabic designs and the whole movement is of brass, protected by a very fine quality of fire gilding. No gold was used in the watch proper, and there is no silver further thau the plate on the back of the movement, which is elaborately engraved with Arabic designs. The movement has a fusee and string, without any other timing device than a pin fastened to the bridge, and on which the balance bars beat. The face i6 elaborately engraved and the movement is com plete, so that the -watch runs when , wound up. Napoleon's watch is shown in Figure j _______________ FIGURI 2. It is scarcely a century old, and I is in a fine state of preservation. It was made in Paris, and has the modern bridge verge escapement and is in excellent running order. The engine turning on the back of the case is quite sharp, and is peculiar in that it starts on an eccentric form near the bottom, instead of from the center. The movement is in the shape of a Grecian urn, and the dial is on the face of the urn. Figure 3 shows what can be accomplished by a combination of ingenuity, skill and persistency. It is a watch made almost wholly of wood, by a watchmaker who was convicted of some crime and sent to Siberia by the Russian Government. The convict made this watch to while away his time, and was pardoned because of his work. The only tool that he had to work with was a penknife. Irregularity in the work can only be discerned by examining it with a glass. Nevertheless, it is remarkably accurate, and the watch runs and keeps fair time. The wood used was box-wood. s [dm ' ^JW 1 RY HASSAN EMN IN 1074. The numerals on the faoe are small pieces of ivory, inlaid. The dial wheels are of ivory, and are set on the I face of the dial. The hour, minute, and second hands are of tprtoise shell. The second dial is recessed on the lower part of the main dial. The wheels and plates of the movement are of wood, while the pinions, balance, cylinder and escapement wheel are of ivory. The rachet spring is of wood. The plates are held together by wooden pins and the balance bridge by ivory screws. The key with which the watch is wound is made of wood with an ivory tip, and is made like a modern ratchet key. The winding "square" is of oblong shape. This ingenions watchmaker also constructed in mliinli n titqia tUC UWA 1U HUAVU IUW n??vu ? ? tained. All the joints are perfect, so that the box is practically dust proof. Little is known of this convict further than that his name was Tagansog. Tlie Walking Fish. Fish, as everyone knows, have their organs adapted for swimming, so that they exhibit arrangements very unfavorable for any other kind of locomotion. However, a few most interesting exceptions are observed. Certain types find themselves forced either by surrounding circumstances or far seeking food to leave the water for a certain length of time. Thus the flying fish is adapted both THE WAJLJL1NU .T1S.H. for flying and swimming, and there are others that are truly walkers. We may mention the maltha, a Brazilian fish, which most certainly attains the highest degree of differentiation in this direction. We have had a specimen of it in our hands which came from Bahia, and we profit by it to call attention to the most curious peculiarities that it exhibits. In the accompanying engraving one of the figures gives a view of the ventral side and the other a profile view, both reduced about one-third. It is a fish which cannot swim, but is forced by its very organization to walk, or perhaps, to hop after the manner ot toads, of which it has vaguely the external form. The head, which is very large, is provided at its anterior part with a bony spine, at the base of which are situated the nasal apertures. The bronchial orifices are small apertures situated wholly in the dorsal surface, as in the callionymes; so that the water can remain for a long time in the bronchial ; 3. ?WATCH MADE ENTIRELY OF WOOD AND chambers?a circumstance very favor- j able for species 60 frequently at a dis- J tance from water. The entire bodv. Bave the ventral j wall and the tail, is covered with bony plates forming a very ornnmental cuirass. Behind the .hind members the body tapers considerably, so as to resemble a tail terminating in a fleshy fin. Upon the dorsal crest there are observed three or four little spines, the remains of the dorsal fin. The locomotive organs exhibit truly interesting arrangemfts. The anterior (the pectoral .us), which are quite small, and are situated under the bedy, have truly the form of small thin paws terminating ia a widened I fleshy portion, not at all palmate. Here we have already -well modified fins; they are no longer capable oi acting on the water, and must perform nothing but backward and forward motions. But the ventral fins are still further transformed. The^ stand out laterally, and first tu.rn downward and then bend upward and outward, form:ng a true articulation. They terminate in a wide and fleshy paddle. These are ve?y different from the same fins in other fishes. We have here the formation of a true limb, that naturally cannot serve for swimming, but only for walking, after the manner of toade, which move scarcely anything but the foot and leg, the thigh remaining closely applied to the body and nearly motionless. Finally, one peculiarity which well shows that the animal is destined foi crawling is the form of the. anal fin, | which, instead of being protuberant and flattened laterally, is Jtiere adherent to the tail and flattened vertically, so as to resemble a small, elongated and concave blade. This is, we believe, one of the rare examples of the adaptation of the anal fin. We may clearly see that all the arrangements conspire to the same end, i. e., to prepare organs primitively adapted to swimming for a very different function. The differentiation does not attain a very high degree, but it is clearly indicated. It would be very interesting to examine these paws from the standpoint of osteology. Perhaps a new fact might be added to that so much discussed question of the homology of the organs of fishes witb those of the higher vertebrates. ?La Nature. The Table Fork. The common table fork was wholly unknown to the ancients, nothing resembling such implements having been found by explorers in any of the ancient ruins. They were probably first used by the Italians about the end of the fifteenth century. At first they had only two prongs or tines, and were always made of iron. At present they have two, three, four, five and even six prongs, and are made of every known maleable metal. The oldest known carving fork is still preserved in the Castle Pau. It formerly belonged to Henry IV., of France. Coryates "Book of Crudities," pub lished in 1611, makes the first distinct mention of the use of forks. Speaking of his travels in Italy, he says: "I observed a custom in the Italian citiea through which I passed that is not used in any ,other country through which I traveled. "They do always when at their meals use a little f-ork when they cut their j meats. This form of feeding I understand is general throughout the King! dom, both among natives and strangers dwelling in those parts."?St. Louis Republic. Origin ot the Chester-Whites.

Sacred singing is mentioned ry Paul and Jame* as a divinely appointed means of sustaining a devotional frnme of mind. "Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singinc and makii.g melody in your hearts to tbe Lord." There are times when singing or listening to the singing of sacred psalms and hymns is one of the most effectual means within our reach of enabling the Christian to hold on his course and resist temptation. One of these undoubtedly is, when the soul is unusually elevated by the Spirit of God. It is the peculiar province of sacred poetry and sacred singing, to lend their aid in giving expression to those higher emotions of the soul; in leading it up the steps that were inaccessible before, and bearing it, as on angelic wings, to the regions of bliss above. How much comfort has the pious Watts afforded Christians by his inimitable poetry. How many saints have goneto heaven with his lines upon their lips, soothed and cheered in entering the dark ' veil between," with the strains of sacred melody. Nor is singing to be confined to the season of unusual elevation. It may be employed when we feel the want of that elevation, and as a means of securing it. Singing with one's own voice has a powerful tendency to direct our thoughts and emotions into the same channel with the sentiments we sing. Sacred singing may be properly employed, also, to render religion more a social and familiar subject. Religion has been too much crowded on one side; it has been shut out of tho parlor, out of what the world calls good society. How can it be restored to its place ? It may come in, to a great extent, by the door of sacred singing. Leader, welcome it by this door. Welcome it to your social circles, to your firesides, your closets and your h-*irt8. And still another important end may be gained by the course commanded by the apostle. There are many Christians, especially young Christian?, who feel the need of occasionally unbending their minds from severe thinking and reading, and allowing a course of joyous and free action. And here is a strong temptation offered to engage the Chrisr tian in " foolish talking and jesting," which Paul says are "not convenient," or unbecoming, or of running the giddy round of the numerous lollies of an unthinking world. Sacred singing meets this desire of the young Christian: it comes to his relief, and teaches him that religion is not wnnting in any solid good or substantial joy which his nature craves. THE PRESENT CBISIS. The present state of the church aud world is one of agitation and conflict. The quietude of former years is broken, and the ancient order of things is disturbed Many pretended reformers have arisen, who have* discovered new remedies for the evils under which the world groans. Human society is wrongly constituted. Old organizations must be dissolved, and new ones formed. Mistaken dreamers. It is not reorganization, but regeneration that society needs. The Holy Spirit must operate upon the hearts of men as in a revival of religion. What else will heal dissensions and Animosities among brethren? What else will make the church of one heart and one mind? What other agent will reclaim backsliders and restore wanderers to the fold of Chrisf? Who but the Almighty Spirit, can impress truth effectually upon the young and old? All other agencies without this must fail. Revivals of religion are the world's last hope. Beloved reader, the revival intelligence that r ?.l. tVitt we sKiiiu yuu lruui wicn i*-? wn. columns of our journal, should.lead you to great 6oarchings of heart. Why is the Lord angry with you? Why has he taken his Holy Spirit from you? What witness does your conscience bear"; "Alas, .ilas! I have made my Saviour bleed afresh; my covenant vows I have violated. Guilty, heart-relenting, at my Saviour's feet I fall/' Go then to the cross. Remember from whence thou hast fallen; repent, and do thy first work. Let thine own heart be espoused to thy Saviour anew. Do this, and God will revive his work afresh, and trophies of victorious grace will be multiplied. PEBSONAL EFTOBT OF PASTORS. A pastor's wife addresses a note to one of us, asking that we will urge upon ministers the duty and desirableness at this moment of making frequent pastoral visits in the families of their people. She assures us that congregations where no special evidences are furnished that the Holy Spirit is moving with power, many individuals are seriously impressed with a sense cf the value of the soul and the necessity of seeking its salvation, but they are deferred from making known their feelings. Beside, it is impossible for a pastor to know the actual state of feeling among his people, unless he makes inquiry as to their spiritual condition. These suggestions are timely and judicious and we do not doubt they will so commend themselves. There are very few, even though their minds may be seriously exercised, who have the moral "courage to come to their paetor's house and disclose their feelings to him, who, if he were to visit them, would open their minds freely to him. and we should be glad to know that in all our churches the meat means are in r>rosrress to bring the minds of all men under the "influence of personal religious effort.?This is a department of labor too much overlooked of late years.?N. Y. Cbs. STATED PBAYER. There is no religion without prayer. Have stated times for devotion. At least, begin and end every day with God. Take time from sleep rather than want proper time for prayer. Watch against formality in your devotions. It is heartfelt praises that are alone acceptableto God. Besides your intercourses with God at stated seasons, often look up to him, and ever go to him in the name of Jesus. Go into your closet, and down upon your knees with as much reverence, (is if you beheld the great and blessed God. Toil require to be often reminded of this. For whether in childhood, in youth or in manhood, we are all apt to have a wandering heart, alas, from God. Oh! pray against heartlessness, as one of the most powerful temptations of your spiritual enemy. Could you ascend into heaven every morning find evening, to offer your devotions to the Most High, and then return to earth again, what a life of holiness you would lead! What fervent prayer and thanksgiving you would offer ?consider that the eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good, aud tnat "all things are naked and open before him with whom we have to."?Watchtaan. J/JWEK OF TBCTH. A striking illustration of the truth, in its own simplicity, was mentioned bv a Christian of the seed of Abraham, when recently pleading the cause of his brethren and of "this soUieiy. it was. in substance, as follows: "When a student at . live aud twenty younp men. Jews and Gentiles, were accustomed to jneet every Sunday afternoon for the purpose of reading paptrs on philosophical or literary subjects. I had read c* e illustrating the character of several nations by historical sketches or fables. Another had read a translation from Oepidus, and then another, a Jew. read, in chaste and beautiful strain, the thirteenth chapter in the first epistle to the Corinthians. It was listened to with great delight; and again he read it, dwejling with reiterated emphasis on the word?, 'is not puffed?is not puffed up'?and then advancing to the table, he said. 'The rriuu wlio wiote this eould not be an imposter. As the Lord liveth?I am Christ's.' Net very long after he avowed himself a -Christian, and is now.
