l'crbaps the ghost did not like tlie
sound of the liuiiiau voice; any way, it
gave no answer, but disapjiearcd.
Tho next day Dr. Cogswell thought
over the matter, attributed it to some
optical delusion, nml in tlio evening
proceeded with iiis work ns usual.—
Again he wished to refer to some books,

is one hundrod feet high, thirtv wide,
and fifteen deep. Almost twenty foot
from the bottom is the dial, on onoh
side of whioh is a cherub, holding a
small mallet in Ills hand, while over tho
dial is n small bell; tlio olierub on tho
left strikes tho first quarter, and that
on the right tho second quarter. Fifty
foot above tlie dial is a colossal figure of
Time, with a boll in his loft liana and a
seytlie in his right. A figure of a young
man in front strikes tlie third uuartor
on tho bell in Timo's loft hand, and
turns and glides with a slow stop around
behind Time, when out comes an old
man with a mallet ami plaees himself
directly in front of tho great Reaper.*—■
As the hour of twelve comes, the old
man deliberately strikes, with much
iwplva times on the bell. He
then glides sloivly behind 'Timer
the young man again comes out and
takes his position ready to do his duty
when oallod upon by the machinery.—
A* soon as tho old man has struck
twelve and disappeared, another set or
machinery is set in motion, some twen

cross with the image of Christ upon it.
The instant twclvo is struck, a figure of

any bark—cut out a bit of bark with a
little of tho wood, with a knife as keen
usaVnzor, theti cut the bud ns oxactly as
possible of the same sizo with q bit of
the wood; fit tho bud to the stalk, and
tic it lightly over with wool or yarn (on
account of its elasticity,) apply all over
U, with a small brush collodion. This
immediately forms an elastic skin, over
tho whole, and perfectly excludes tho
air, which, by all other modes of graft
ing, is not perfectly excluded. This is
whole secret. Wo think it would l>o
