The ballot supreme.— And so it ought to be. It is .sufficient for every public need in government. Some one has sneeringly said, "The American Republic is founded on a bit of paper." Yes, and we say, that bit of paper in the outcome of centuries of struggle* for liberty. It is the triumph of the sublime truth uttered by the Saviour: "Ye are brethren." That bit of paper, the ballot of freemen, Is a battering-ram more effective in demolishing the strongholds of despotism and wrong than wore our fathers' weapons of iron. Then let 'this ballot be kept pure, sacred above all things else God in Ilii providence has intrusted to our keeping.

The powers that be.— Paul said. Be subject to the powers that be. The powers thitf. be in America are the voters. They are sovereigns who delegate, from timo to time, to others their right to make and enforce Jaw, but the right is theirs. Then, ye rulers, Amcrican citizens, see to it that ye are well instructed in the art of government — teach this art in your schools and at home to your children. Vary not tho breadth of a hair from right, and see to it that no man whom you elect as your representative varies the breAdthofa hair from right. Water does not rise higher than its s^Ace. The virtue of the office-holder wftt not be higher than the virtue of the people who elect him.

Spreading Themselves. Tho more a man sees of tho world, the more he mingles with others, the smaller space is he inclined to claim for ! himself among his fellows, lie sees that in the pushing struggle of life, other, people's rights must be respected; and he must not take more ground than just enough to stand on. This is marked in all public places and conveyances. The man or woman who

Tho persons who take more than belongs to thorn are those who have been least in company, and who are as natural consequence least accustomed to adapt themselves to tho needs of those about them- If you want' to. bo thought well-bred, traveled, cosmopol- ] itan, keep in your elbows in a crowd, I and sit close in a street-car.

Some time ago, in the southern part of; this State, an incident occurred which will be spoken of upon the occasion of every ©lection in that part of tho country. Upon the day of the noted event people in all the townships exhibited their interest by going early to the polls. Two very prominent men in a certain county wore candidates for sheriff, and their supporters wer© so equally divided that a great concern was felt. Bets were juifde, fizt-fights were inaugurated.

j in fact everything was engaged in to make tho election interesting. About ten o'clock the excitement became so , great in one township that a man vas selected to ride over to tho next township to see who was ahead. The awiftest horse was selected. The man sprang into the saddle and dashed awuy. The rider was intensely watched until out of Bight. Then more bets wore made as to which of the candidates was ahead. More fist engagements were inaugurated. Finally the man was seen coming back. He had lost his hat and his long hair streamed out horizontally. "Six ahead ! Six ahead I" hethouted, when within hearing of tho crowd. "Who's six ahead?" demanded several voices. "I'll be dinged if I know," said tho man, checking his horse, "but you may bet your life that one of them is six ahead." — Little Rock Gazette. » — Some Curious Clocks. In 1577, MoestHn had a clock so constructed as to make just 2,228 beats in an hour, 146 of which were counted during the sun's passage over a meridian or azimuth line, and thereby determined his diameter to be 34 ft. 13 in. ; so the

, science of astronomy began thus early t to be promoted by clockwork, and as , tronomy in its turn gave rise to some of , tho most essential improvements in , clockmaking. Marti no 111, in his work printed at Venice, 1663, describes an old clock going in his timo, in the Grand Fiazzo, in which two Moors struck tho hour upon a bell, three kings entered from a door, and after making obeisance to figures of tbe Virgin and Child, placed in a niche, retired through a door on the opposite side. John Evelyn relates that about the middle of the seventeenth -can hi PIT n man wjl* killed by this famous clock : "While repairing the works lie stooped his head in such a position and at such a time that the quarter boy struck it with his hammer, and knocked him over the battlements." In tho Palace of "Versailles are two curious clocks, one being the clock of the King's death in the "Cour do Marbre." This clock has no mechanism, and has only one hand which is jdnced at the precise moment of death of the last King of Franco and is not moved during the whole of his successor's reign. This custom dates from the time of Louis XIII. In the saloon of mercury is a clock dated 1706; each time that it strikes, two cocks flap their wings, small doors open, and two figures advance, folding bucklers, on which Cupids fitriko the quarters; a figure of Louis XIV. steps forth, and from a cloud Victory descends and places a crown 011 the king's head; tho puppets all disappear and the hour strikes. A story told . of Louis XI, (King of Franco from 1461 to 1433) shows that horology lmd then made great advances. A gentleman who had lost a great deal at play, stole 0 clock belonging to tho king, and hid it

[. in his sleeve; in a short time tho clock, ' which continued to go, notwithstanding its removal, struck the hour, and the theft of course was discovored. Louis, as caprcious in kindness as in tyranny, not only pardonod tho culprit, but made him a present of the clock. It was customary formerly, in several French towns, to make docks tell the hour by meanfe of one or more statues, which struck the bell with hammers. A similar custom prevails in Italy. In tho little town of Lam box there is on tho top of a tower the figure of a man who strikes tho hour in this manner; at the same instant a woman appears, and makes him a loty courtesy, and then walks onco round him. Portable clonkwork exhibitions of sceneries, the life and death of our Saviour and tho Blessed Virgin, and models of Nazareth, Jerusalnm, and Mount Calvary uro among tho attractions of brunch fetes, Invention was, for a timo, limited to enriching clocks by the-addition of moving figures, processions of saints, with the Virgin, representation* of my stories and pious subjects; while others wore modo by the more learned to represent tho motion of the heavenly bodies. Of this class were tho two "wooden horologist" of. St. Dunstan's, Fleet street, which struck the quarters upon a suspended bell, each moving his head at the snmo time. These figures of savages, life size, carved in wood, stood beneath a pediment, each having in bis right hand a- club

Somehow when a man'* mind become* really enlarged nay, like that of Baron Hum bolt, and ho is able to place in focus more and more of the cosmos of which ho forms a part, th© things h© at tb© oiifoet of his life regards as the largest get smaller and smaller, till at last most immense and overwhelmingly important thing, himself, becomes so insignificant that it is only through a process of

Well, lie is smaller than an elephant, and an elephant is smaller than a mountain, and a mountain is smaller tlian the world, and the world is a mustard seed compared with tho eun, and the sun itself is a mere mote in the dpst could of spheres that stretches out through the universe beyond the reach of thought. Suppose wo could make an exact model of tho earth eighty feet in diameter. Eighty .feet in diameter would be a pretty large ball as balk go | on tho face of this planet. Assume for the sake of easy calculation, the diameter of the earth to be exactly 8,000 miles, and let us proceed to build our model to scale. A mountain five miles high should represent on our model 5-80,-000th of80 feet or 6-10 of an inch. AnElephant built in proportion should be. 1.4,400th of an inch in height, and an average man 7-52, 800th of an inch tall. An army of 26,400 such men standing I shoulder jto shoulder in single straight) rank would require their general to gallop over a space of one inch to pass them all under review. With a smart horse of proportionate size, ridden at a 1* nvimiv j iiuuvu ab u

' brisk gallop, he could accomplish this j distance in about an hour. Viewed in ^ this way a man is a mere mite crawling L over the face of tho globe, yot ho has ■ had tho arrogance to think the universe was formed for him more than other insects, and that the Ruling Intelligence had him preeminently in view in bringing order out of chaos. — ScientiVic nrws.
