^^^^^^Wately brick mansion, l^? venerable old gent and his good wite^They, owned a clock ; how high or liow low it was, we do not know, but for 8 long years the clock had been silent, and allowed to go unmolested. All of a sudden, liowovcr, and - to the surprise of aH, after such a long rest, the old clock began to strike, and kept .striking an indefinite number of times. A few days after this unnccountablo frenk, the good lady of the house?the faithful, dceotod wife and mother, passed "oyer the river." A few years after this the old gentleman was one day somewhat surprised to hear a repetition of the solemn clock's procedure. The striking was in the same umuistakeablo lond, clear tone. A few days more and the old gentleman joiucd his devoted wife, who had preceded liiin to tho "other shoro" a few years before, under the same strange circumstances. This strango and deajlly striking of the old clock was the subject of comincut for weeks and months. Not n great while after this, the young man was startled and bo^ "wildered to notice the striking of tho same deadly monitor, and quick as thought he took the clock down and laid it flat upon the floor, saying, "you struck out father's and mother's destiny but you don't strike out mine." This young man is now a Minister of the Gospel. Let's watch the clocks. They arcstriking out our destinies every day anil every hour. As the farmers are looking up seed for planting, I think it would be well to put in aide crops and not depend altogether on corn for a food crop.

A Mild Winter Ruined Tiikm.?Now York, March 13.?The dry goods commission house of Harbison & Loder made an assignment this moroing with liabilities of about $400,000. The house has always been considered safe, and carried on a business of $2,000,000 per year. The asets are not yet known, but are believed to be about 80 por eent. of the liabilities.
