brick mansion, ,he tho Venerable old gent and his good W?T They, owned a clock ; how high or how low it was, we do not know, but for 8 long years the ? v- clock had been silent, and allowed to go unr ^ , molested. All of a sudden, bowerer, and ..." . to the surprise of all, after such a long rest, the old clock began to strike, and kept .. ' ..striking an indefinite number of times. A . few days after this unaocountable freak, the good lady of the house?the faithftil, devoted wife and mother, passed "oyer the riyer." 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 unmistakeablo loud, clear tone. A few days more and the old gentleman joined his devoted wife, who had prcoeded him to the "other shore" a few years before, under the same strange circumstances. This strange and deadly striking of the old clock was the sufyect of commont for weeks and months. Not a great while after ^^^^^thls, the young man was startled and ber wudered to notioe the striking of the same deadly monitor, and quick as' thought he took the dock 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 ? oi ui? uospei. Let's watch the docks. They arestriking out our destinies every day and every hour.

A Mild Wisrrnn Ruined Them.?New ?, .York, March 13.?The dry goods commission . - house of Harbison & Loder made an assignment this morning with liabilities of about , 9400 ,000.
