The number of infinite baptised in the
Methodist Episcopal Church during the
year 1807 was 42,638, being the largest in
any one year from the organisation of tbe
TWO RFMARKABLE WATCHES.
Hrfrn :
George the Tifird was thCS fortunate
recipient of the smallest w*ch ever made,
which was contracted by the famous chro
nometer maker, Arnold, and was set in a
ring jewel. It contained one hun
dred and Twenty different parts, and
weighed just about as many grains, so
that tie parts averaged one grain each,
the fly-wheel and pimon actually weighing
the screntsentb part 0 f a grain! Os
course ordinary tools were useless for such
microscopic work, and Arnold had first
to make a special set of implements for
it. The king was so pleased with the
wonder, that he rewarded the sk ilful do
nor whit (he him -red guilt, its. The Em
peror of Russia wanted a watch like it,
and offered Arnold a thousand guineas for
its counterpart ; but in order that his gift
to tho king might not be d-preciated, and
at the same time to preserve its unique
character, Arnold refu-cd the offer.
lii strong contrast to this liny time
keeper, is a watch in the form of a skull
which formerly belonged to the unfortu
nate Mary, Queen of Scots* and was be
queathed by her to her maid of-hona:,
Mary Seaton. It is of silver gilt; an I
on die forehead of the skull is the figure
of Death, with scythe and sand-glass,
standing between a palace and a cottage,
w ith one foot on tbe threshold of each
On the posterior part there is a represen
tation of Time, also with a scythe, and
ntar him the emblem of Eternity—a ser
pent with its tail in its mouth. On one
side of the skull there are figures of Adam
and Eve in the garden of Eden, and on
the other a representation of the crucifix
ion, each set off with an appropriate le
gend. The inside of the skull is as elab
orately wrought. Tbo watch part is en
tire, nnd performs Well; and it has a silver
hell of musical sound upon which the
hours ate struck. A chain is fixed to this
relic, but is much 100 heavy to he worn ;
it was doubtless intended to occupy a sla
donsry place on a prie dieu, or private al
tar.
Protestant Missions. —There are now
in active operation, in different parts of the
world, eighty six different Protestant'mis
sinnaty associations for the propagation of
the gospel in unevangelixed countries.

eeips «f theiro ni and kindred benevolent
, dftring the past year, exceed
j twelve millions of dollars. All the Amer
ioan Societies received some $5,750,000.
