Boggles Fixes the Clock.

There comes a time in the career of every married man when he becomes possessed of an insane sort of an idea that he can take apart the family clock, patch up whatever may happen to be wrong with its internal mechanism, and put it together again as well as any blacksmith in town.

He generally tries it at once—just once by actual count — and after that he would rather some one would give him a sovereign at any time than tackle the job again. If you don't believe it just ask Bog gles, but if he has anything in his hand when you ask him, it would be a good plan to get ready to dodge. The Member is a little sensitive on the sub ject yet, and he doesn't like to have anyone speak of it; it is something that he isn't as much interested in as he was. The trouble eventuated last Saturday morning when Mrs Boggles happened to mention that the clock was out of repair. ' Out of repair, eh ? Well, Hanner, just bring me the screw-driver, tack hammer, monkey-wrench and a pair of [ nippers, and I'll repair it in a jiffy,' re j marked Boggles, with the confident air of a man who had been engaged in te • pairing clocks all his life. ' You repair it?' ejaculated Mrs 8., in surprise. ■ • That's what I said, Hanner. Must ibe getting a little deaf, hain't you ?' Boggles rejoined sarcastically. j ' No, but I am astonished at the idea of your repairing the clock. I didn't \ know that you had served an apprentice ! ship at the clock-making business,' said Mrs Boggles, mildy. ; ' S'pose a man has to serve a seven years' apprenticeship to know how to tinker a ten-shilling clock. Imagine :it requires a college education to yank the insides out of a refiactory time-piece, ; oil 'em up with a feather, and put them back where they belong. Think I've got to graduate from a blacksmith's shop ; before I can tell the main gaff of a ' clock from the after-hatch ? Well, I think not, Hanner Jane ; and now if you will produce the tools I require, and then try and hold your tongue for a few minutes, I*ll just this clock apart and ascertain the location of the diffi culty and see what can be done about it.

•All right, Alexander,' meekly re sponded Mrs Boggles, as she brought out the tool-box and placed it on the table in front of her worser half.

The Member then proceeded to business at once.

Laying the clock down on its back, he prized off the door, removed the jface, then unscrewed the works, took them out of the case and placed them on the table. Then he began squinting and jabbing about with the screw-drivgr among the cogwheels and things with the air of a professional clock-tinker. While Boggles was busy poking away the mainspring gave a buzz, and the entire works suddenly collapsed, and cogwheels, pinions, screws, ratchets, springs, &c, flew all over the table, and a quart or so of them even slopped over on the floor.

'There, Hanner; now you've made a nice mess of it, haint you ? What did you want to joggle the table for when I was right in the most ticklish part of the job ?' demanded Boggles, glaring fiercely at the smiling partner of his joys and pocketbook. • Why, Alexander Bucephalus ! ' exclaimed Mrs 8., ' where do you ex pert to die when you go to ? I wasn't within six feet of the table, and you know I haven't touched it since you commenced work.'

' Well, you looked at me, at all. What do you want to look at me for in that way when you know it will distract my attention, and cause me to get things all mixed up? Can't you look off the othei way, and mind your own affairs till I get this job done ?' shouted Boggles, getting red in the face and 'way around behind both ears. ' That is about the way I thought you would settle the clock when you began. I suppose you will be satisfied now, and let someone put it to gether that knows how,' calmly com mented Mrs 8., paying no attention to his remarks.

1 And I s'pose, o'gosh ! I won t! I'm going to put this valuable time piece together myself, and don't you forget it, Hanner. I think I ain't go ing to let no blamed clock that refuses to run get the best of me as long as I've got lots of carpenters' tools and plenty of room to work in. Just stand back" out of the way, Hanner, if you want to see the cogwheels fly.' And with these preliminary remarks Member Boggles fell to work in earnest scooping up the the stray pinions, wheels, springs, and other loose clock work, &c, and jamming them back into the ease in an earnest but futile at tempt to get the various parts back in their former positions

He labonred energetically for half an hour with the perspiration trickling off the end of his nose, and then he looked helplessly around him, and said—'Well, I've got everything back into the case that there is room for, and now if I knew what to do with the rest of these confounded pin wheels and cranks things I'd be all right. I've got about a milk-can full left that I can'tseeanyplacefor. Whatdoyous'pose the lunatic that invented clocks wanted to put in so many pieces for, eh, Hariner ?'

' Oh, I'm sure I don't know. Don't a.sk me; I don't know anything about clocks. It isn't to be expected that two in the same family would know it all,' was Mrs Boggles mildy-sarcastic reply.

' That's so; I might have knownbetter than to ask you,' rejoined Boggles. •Now, if you'll keep still two minutes I'll try and finish up this job so that

we'll know what time to get up to-mpr row morning.' ' Can't you get up when breakfast is ready, the same as usual?' inquired Mrs Boggles, with a dry smile. 1 Maybe I can and maybe I can't!' snap ped Boggles. ' I won't get up at all if you keep on interrupting me while I'm finishing this clock. Want me to spoil it, don't you, so we won't know whether it is time to eat dinner or go to bed ? I wish I had an iron-steel, burglar-proof safe that I could lock you in till I get this dog-gasted clock yanked once again, so that I wouldn't be bothered while I'm busy with it.' 4Good night, Alexander ; I'll try and keep still most of the time. Now go ahead with your clock.' Thus encour aged, Boggles pitched in with renewed vigour. Taking the works apart again, he sorted out the debris and began all over again, putting in cog-wheels, fly wheels, pin-wheels, and other wheels and things, wherever he could find a place that they would fit. Finally, after he had got all in that the case would hold, he screwed the face, of the clock on upside down, put the. minute hand on where the hour-hand ought to be and vice versa, then hung the pendu lum, set the clock on the shelf, wound it up and started it going. The clock started off briskly, ran two hours and thirty-seven minutes in some thing less than sixty seconds, struck one hundred and forty-nine times with out stopping to take breath, and behaved in a decidedly eccentric un business-like manner generally, while Boggles stood and stared at it in sur prise and sorrow. It grieved him to have that clock act, so after the trouble and, pains he had taken with it. Just then Mrs Boggles spoke up and said— • Got it fixed to suit you now, Alex ander ?'

This was the final straw on the quadruped's back. • No, I haven't just yet, but I will in a minute or so more if you will keep still/ roared Boggles. ' All this clock needs now is a break or something to restrain it. It wants somebody to sit on it and hold it down. Zip ! there there it goes !' and Boggles knocked the clock off the shelf, then kicked it across the room and jumped on it, and smashed it into a chaos of broken cog wheels and other arrangements, and then continued : ' There, now, that puts the finishing touches on it; and now I'm going out to buy a new clock, and the next time I try to meqd any thing I want you to keep your clack shut. Do you understand?' Mrs Boggles said she understood, and Boggles went out, slamming the door behind him, to invest twelve shillings in a new timepiece.

The Gallant Defence of Saragossa.

It was on the 25th of May, 1808, that the inhabitants of Saragossa and' the peasantry of the surrounding country rose in a mass to repel the un-, principled aggressions of the French. The Captain-General of Arragon, Guilliamah, had betrayed an inclination to submit to the enemy, by attempting to disarm the people; in consequence of this, he was seized, and thrown into prison, and the inhabitants of Saragossa and of the neighbouring villages unani mously conferred the government upon Don Joseph Palafox, the youngest of three brothers of one of the most dis tinguished families in Arragon. On the 15th of June, the French sent a detachment against the outposts upon the canal, while their main body at tempted to storm the city, by the gate called Portillo; the people confiding in God, in their own courage, and the justice of their cause, determined to de lend the streets of their town to the last extremity.

They tore down the awnings from their windows and formed them into sacks, which they filled with sand, and piled up before every gate in the form of a battery, digging round each of them a deep trench. They broke holes in the walls for musketry, and sometimes where the position was commanding, cannon were stationed; the houses in the environs of the city were pulled down or burnt; gardens and olive grounds, that in better times had been the recreation and support of their owners, were cheerfully rooted ap by the proprietors themselves, wherever they impeded the defence of city, or covered the approach of the enemy. The exertions of the men were animated by the women of every des cription, who formed themselves into parties for the relief of the wounded, and for carrying water and provisions to the batteries at the gates, while their children were employed in conveying cartridges which had been made by the Monks.

The sand-bag battery before the pate of the Portillo, was gallantly defended by the Arragonese. The carnage in this battery was truly terrible. It was here that an act of heroism was performed by a female, to which history scarcely affords a parallel:—

Augustma Saragossa, about twenty two years of age, a handsome woman of the lower class of the people, whilst performing her duty of carrying refresh ments to the gates, arrived at the battery of the Portillo at the very moment when the French fire had absolutely destroyed every person that was stationed in it; the citizens and soldiers for the moment hesitated, to re man the guns; Augustina rushed forward over the wounded and slain sqatched a match from the hand of a dead artillary man, and fired off a twenty-pounder, then jumping on the gun, made a solemn vow never to quit it alive during the siege, and having stimulated her feijow-citizeqs by th|s daring act of intrepidity to fresh exer tions, they instantly rushed into the battery, and again opened a tremendous fire upon the enemy.

Oa the night of the 2nd of August, and on the following day the trench bombarded Saragossa from their baiter jes opposite the gate of the Carmen. On the 4th of August, the French opened a tremendous fire upon this quarter of the city, and in an instant the mud walls opposite to their bctteries vanished, and the splendid convent of the Santa Kngracia was on fire, and tottering in ruins.

One side of the street Cozo was now occupied by the French, in the centre of which General Verdier was seen giv ing his orders from the Convent.

The Arragonese maintained their positions on the opposite side, throwing up batteries at the openings of the streets, within a few paces of similar batteries of the French; the intervening space was soon heaped up with dead, either thrown from the windows of the houses in which they had been slain or killed in the conflicts below.

For eleven successive days this sanguinary conflicts was continued from street to street, from house to house, and from room to room, the enraged populace always gaining upon the dis ciplined troops pf the French, until the space occupied by the enemy was gradually reduced to about one-eighth part of the city, and ultimately they were compelled to abandon the seige.

An Obliging Clerk.

' Let me have five penny stamps, please,' said a lady to the retail stamp clerk in the post-office recently, 1 Yessum,' he said, handing them out ' Can't you let me have . hem in one piece ?' she added. 'Certainly, ma'am,' said the clerk. ' Can I send them home for you ?' 1 Oh, no; I d.pn't live far—only in the north part of London—and I am going home. I shouldn't like to put you in trouble.' (No trouble at all,' said the clerk. ' I haven't very much to do to day, and I could very easily spare an hour.' • Very much obliged,' said the lady, smiling sweetly. < Dear me,' she said, putting on a stamp, 'what a horrid bother it is to stamp letters ! Why can't we send letters, and let the post-office send in their bills once a month ?'

1 They might just as well,' said the clerk, syrnpathisingly. 'I'll mention the fact to the Postmaster-General.'

1 Will you, How nice 1 But you musn't mention my name. Say the idea, was suggested by a society lady.'

A Scolding Womax. - The barbarities of the ducking-stool for the cure of sco ding women though abolished by law. are now oftentimes practised by a kind of social barbarity none tha less reprehensible. Women scold only when they are ill. instead of blaminc them we should prescribe Am. Co.'s Hop Bitters. The entire system will undergo a genial, peasant change. The nerves will be quieted and ac rbjty of word and thought will give place to amiability and affection. Healthy women do not scold or fret. Read.
