A Darned luwklnc.
From tho OriCia Daily Newt]
Yea girla, I know its awfnlly monotonooi
work, oce stitch over and under the needle
again and again, bat then yoa know, “tbooe
who dance meat pay the fiddler," and dancing
i« jost aa ante to make holes in (tockinga aa It
Is to give pleasure. Now, while we all indulge
Mn this more profitable than araaaing pastime.
Ill tell yon the atory of a darned stocking, and
hair it helped to make ms what I am—an old
maid in this world.
I see that thought don't reconeils yon a par-
lathe hoiintm in hand, Lot gtrla, whether
yon marry or remain Ringle, whether yon are
happy wives and mothers some dsy, or like
year ennt Ellen, go throngh the world alone,
an “old maid," I ebonld Le glad to think that
yoor lives would be aa bright as mins Is snd
liss been, even if like mine they ahonld be
brightened only by memories and dreams.—
Yes, In this world I am an “old msid," and I
dont mind being called wo, either, for I have
clways kept bright aa morning, and in my heart
“the love cf Ure’s young day," and now, after
twenty years of patient waiting, I know that
“on the the ether aide" John is waiting as I am,
for the meeting 'hsi some dsy will be witnessed
! y Go 1 ami Lis angels, tho-a who like myself
Lave borne the cross below In sorrow and
sadneea, bat throngh faith in Him, have risen
with the crown of glory to dwell “eternal in the
Heavens.
John and I grew np together, loving each
other from the timo we commenced onr n-b sbs
in the same class in school side by side. Of
oonrse the children lsnghed at us, bnt whether
onr “love*were wiser,” or onr hearts truer,
all the fnn missed Ka mark and we continued
“ little lovers "—thongh no words of love were
spoken, no promises aiked or given, bnt be
knew, aa I did, that in the wide, wide world no
other wonid care for him as did the little girl
he'd grown strong beside—almost grown to
man's estate. John's people hid great riches
and high expectations for him, their oldest boy,
snd I hardly know if they felt most pride or
pein in the parting lhat took him away from
bis qniet home to enter the university
where he was to complete his edoestioa. AU
daring tho long winter months of bis absence
I had bis home-coming to look forward to, and
then occasionally I had a letter, or a note
clipped into bis mother's letters, in which he
told me of Ills college life aqd how he hoped
some day to make Lis old friends prond of him
as well as fond. Still no words of love, snd he
never oven eald, “ Ellen, I shonld like to give
yon tho right to be fondest and proudest"—
bnt in my heart I knew John was all mine, snd
tL.c in good time he would ask me to be all hU
own. The timo for bis graduating was draw
ing near, and such reportsasbis mother and
sister gar e of the grand speech John was to
make, and they even had me to read the copy
he Led sent home. They went te hear him and
see him receive the congrsinlstions of bis class
and faculty, for his university career had been
an nnnsnally bright and promising one. Then
they all came home together, and John came to
me jnst as in the old childish dayB, and onr old
familiar intercourse was resumed, and we were
happy an I believe only yonths and maidens are.
One dsy we were riding along quietly, as was
onr almoit daily cnatom, when Jnst in front of
as, into tho long smooth grass, there dropped s
bird, and immediately a hawk with a piercing
shriek darted open it, and a oombat ensued in
the midst of wbieh the horse I wan rifiiDg be
came frightened and ran—ran throngh tho
dense pine forest, where the limbs of the trees
were down to the earth and tho ground thick
with tho fallen pine leaves of ages, making it
almost ns slippery aa tee. On, on we went, 1
clinging in dosperatinn to the siddie, till on a
bill aids, dawn which I was being carried with
lightning speed, tho horse lost his fooling and
fell, crashing and braining my poor foit and
ankle nnder bin great body. He lay there
moaning liko a mannikin of pain, and I, faint
and in agony. In a moment I hoard John's
horse coining JiUle Ie=s rapidly than my own
bed done, and in another instant he was by my
side. The pent np love of all those long jcais
ponrod from his lips, as ho kissed mo again
and again, and begged mo to live for his sake.
Of oonrse his anxiety was much greator than
my injuries, thongh be would have mo remove
the shoe and atocking from my wounded foot,
or rather my broken anklo. Ho carried me
home moat gently, bnt 'twaa the last rids ever
taken on that horse, for his injuries wore so
greet that ha died before John oonid improvise
an arraogement for getting me safe home.
Not long alter that, John was admitted to Iho
bar, and went to practioa law in a Urge city far
sway. Not, however, till we bad expressed all
the love we had been learning in thu old soheol
honar, that had grown so dear to both onr
hearts, and had strengthened so since those
early days when wo weraboy and girl together.
John was making a name for himself, and his
letters were full of love, and promise, and hopes
f the home lo which he was coon coming to
take me. In my own qniet wsy I was hsppy
and content, believing in John and bis love and
trnsling him for all the happiness that life conld
give. God knows it might have been that I
trusted him too much, and that 1 nover looked
to a higher sourer, or tksnked a higher power
for the happiness that was mine.
Tho lime for onr marriago was drawing near,
and John was coming to mako some last ar
rangements before taking mo from my old home
forever. I was waiting with all love's impa-
tioncc for tho coming of him I almost wor
shipped, fueling so strong in onr love, and bo-
lieving that “if we loved each other nothing
oontd harm ns."
In those days, even had nows traveled slowly,
and 'twos somotime beforo we heard of the ter
rible accident that happened on the sbort-linG
railroad over which ho passed, thongh my heart
had almost grown weary with waiting as the
days passed by and John was still absent. Fi
nally hts mother camo to me, with a little paok-
ago in hor hand, snd said, “Ellen, this is all
that’s left to toU yon how he loved yon”—for
bo was among those who had gone from an
earthly fntnre, with happiness jnst before him,
to reap a glorious reward on high. 'Iwas a
long timo beforo I opened that little knndle.
hat many, many days I sat in silonoe with that
for my solo companion, and my Angels had
almost worn away the words written in his hand
liefora I found conrago to look at its contents.
Jost a little parcel tied np with a cotton string,
and on it was written, “Angnst lltb—My God,
I thank thee, that, thongh I nearly lost her, sho
la mine."
When I opened it, there lay ttc slocking I
had worn the day of Iho ride, on which he told
me of his love, snd thero were three darns in
it, and close beside one was a big hole where
the broken bone had come through, and the
stains of blood had been washed away, and
there, girls, shall that stain remain, os be prized
it, for among the relies of my youth and tho
treasures g»thered in riper years, the dearest
of them all is that old “Darned Slocking."

A Wonderlnl Clock.
Hbamokin Cjr. Philadelphia Frees, Aug. 11 ]
Karl Ketter, a poor German miner of tbs Ex
celsior Colliery, which is aitruted within a few
miles of this borough, has exhibited a clock
here, during the past week, of a moat remaka-
bte character. He had been three year* con-
strncticg if, tbo fim two years at intervals of
time, and tho last year he wotked at it day and
night, acaroely taking tima enough to sleep snd
cat. no became almost a monomaniac on the
snbject. The clock was in his mind daring hts
waking hoars and in his dreams at nigni. He
occupied alone a small wooden sbanly, where
ho worked, slept and oooked his food. ’What
ever steeping and oooking be did, however, was
bnt little. It is thought be wonid have nearly
.tarred Dnt for the kindly intereet which hia
neighbors took in him and hia clock. They
took him food, and encouraged him in his labors.
Tho clock, which was made with no other
tools than two common jack knives, is eight
feet high and four feet broad. Its frame is of
the gothic style of architecture. It has sixteen
sides, and is surmounted by a globe, on top of
which is attached a small golden cross. On the
front of the clock there are fonr dial plates;
one shows the day of the week, another shows
the day of the month, another shows the min-
ntea snd fractions of a minute, and the other
the hoar of the day. These dials are carved in
a most nniqne manner, having emblematic
I'.cc.res upon them and .round tuem of almost
-very imaginable deserii iioc. Above the dial-
plates is a semi-drcnlar gallery, extending
around half the width of the framework of the
clock. Immediately in front, in the oentre of
this S6mi-ctrcnlar gallery, is the carved wooden
fienre of our Saviour. At the enda of the gal-
lay, on either aide there is a email door, open
ing into the body of the clock. Over the door,
on the right hand aide of the clock, as yon
stand facing it, is an eagle. Over the door,
i the left hand side, is a chicken cock.
Twice a dav, that is, at 12 OS In the dsy and
at II OS at night, a sweet chime of bells begin
to pity, the small door on the right hand side
opens, and the small wooden figures, admirably
carved, of tho twelve Apoetlee, appear and walk
oat slowly and gravely in procession, Peter in
the lead. Advancing along the gallery until
they get opposite the figure of Jeans, eeoh in
tcr'i, exoept.Jndse, slowly tarns around and
Loire his head to the Master, then reooyert hi*
former position; as Deter does this the ooc.

gido of tho gallery and enter the email door on
the left. As Jndas (who Is in the rear), with
his right hand shielding his fsoe, snd left hand
otaspicR the hag which is supposed to contain
the tbiriy piece* of silver, some* in fall view of
the cock, the cock Crows again. By a simple
arrangement this procession can bo made to
oome out and pass around the gallery at any
time desired. ,
On (pedestal* st tba extreme corners of the
front ofthe clock, are carved wooden rtatne*
of Moses and Eds*. In the rear are two obe~
i *i of the Egyptian style, upon which are
carved hieroglyphic characters to represent the
ancient petiod of tho world’* history. Tbi
clock will rnu thirtytiro hours without wind-
rag. Mr. Ketter. who i* a native of Friebnrg,
in Baden, is very prond of his workmanship.
He can scarcely bear to be away from it long
enough to eat Lis meals. He has baeo offered
_ ten thousand dollars for It by a parly from New
York, but he refmed it.

sweet smile, jnst aa the people ware coming to
breakfast. Only a very short time ago he
‘hitched his hone to a sulky, with the snlmsl’s

started off backward, without noticing the di

a little child five years old, a most perilous
operation. The mother came to him and said
“Monsieur, my son is saved, and I redly
know not how to express my grstitnde, Allow

book, embroidered by my own hands."
‘0, madame," replied Velpean, sharply, “my

which is a Inxnry to yon, is necessary for me.
Allow me, therefore, to refuse yonr charming
little present in exchange for a more substantial
remuneration. ”
“Bnt, monsieur, what remuneration do yon
desire? Fix the faoyourself."
“Five thousand franes, madame.”
Ths lady very quietly opened the pocket
book, whioh contained ten thousand franca in
notes, counted ont five, snd after politely hand

A dispatch from Pittsbnrgb, Pennsylvania,
says :
"The recent strikes of big wells In the oil
regions caused the ntmost consternation among
tbo oil brokers and dealers in crude petroleum
in Pittsburgh on Monday. The Parker's Land
ing erode oil market, which governs that of
Pittsburgh, opened Monday morning with sales
st $1 47. This did not last long, and prices
began to tnmble. Advices from Parker's stated
that the new Thompson well, recently struck,
was drilled farther into the sand Saturday
night, when it commenced eponting, and is now
reported doing 1,600 barrels. Sunday night
another well was struck, snd in five hoars tho
yield vras 300 barrels. Tbo Satterfield well,
which was struck last Sitnrday, did 1,300 bar-
srol*, tank measure, in twenty-four hours. When
tho fact of these big strikes beaame noised
about among the oil speculators prices fluctuated

Pittsburgh announce that oil had teen eff-red

The proprietors avail themaelve* of the
lull in advertising to present their claims
again to the public. Nothing within the
range of our ability is omitted to make
tbe Tzleqraph akd Mksskhger In all
its editions acceptable to the reader. As
a vehicle of the earliest news on all cur
rent topics— and of careful and candid
exposition, we concede no superior in this
State.
In point of circulation in the range of
the country trading with Macon, the dif
ferent editions of the paper are far be
yond competition. They literally per
vade the Central and Southwestern coun
ties of Georgia—addressing and inform
ing almost every merchant and house
hold.
No business man of Macon can afford
to be without tho use of these columns
as an advertising medium. No one abroad
seeking a market for any commodity in
this region can intelligently dispense with
their aid in facilitating that object.
For successive generations these two
papers, united for the past three years in
one, have commanded this great field of
circulation, and their hold on the public
confidence has never been disturbed or
interrupted. We aro to-day with a larger
cash paid circulation than ever before,
and we hope to go on increasing with the
progress of tho country. We do not say
it is the “largest circulation,” but witbin
our proper field—where we can carry tho
earliest news, it is beyond even approxi
mation by any other journal.

portant public event in the old Empire
State of the South.
S EMI-WEEKLY
