Translated from the Schunllnos
"a remarkable phenomenon is announced by
the gazettes Of Constantinope which all agree
in The report c.--that in Asia Minor, in the
District of Jenischehir and those of Siwrhssar,
Eski Schehr and Seicli Gazi, mama has fallen
from Heaven. The Courier Of Cons'snlinop|e
contains this notice :-"Le,ters from Jenische-
has been falling from Heaven, and has supplied
the inhabitants with nourshment. They grind
it 10 -four and bake it in the same way as bread,
nor is il inferior TO what we usually eat.
"The Journal de Constapttnople says: The
same phenomenon which was observed at Ban
in lSil is now repeated in the District of Jen-
ischehir, with simillr and no less extraordinary
circumstances. 1t appears from the testimony
of persons Of all modes Of religious faith, that az.
. Ter season of partial famine the same marvel
that happened in behalfot the people of Israel
has occurred again. A shower has fallen from
Heaven of substances about the size Of hail
stones, not unlike the tear.form mama, and
pleasant to the taste. 1t fell in such quantity
as to lie three or four inches thick on the ground,
aud served the people as food for many days"
WHAT O'CLOCK is 1T when was a young
lad, my father one day called me to him that he
might teach me how TO know what O'Clock it
was. He told me the use o. the minute finger
and the hour hand, and described TO me the fig
ures on the dial plate, until | was pretty perfect
in my part
No sooner was quite master octhis addition.
al knowledge, than set off scampering to join
my companions at game of marbles but my
father called me back again: Stop Humphrey"
said he, 81 have something more to tell YOU
Back again went, wondering what else
had got to learn; for thought knew all about
the clock, quite as well as my father did.
"Humphrcy," said he, 81 have taught you to
know the time Of the day, must now teach you
how to find ont the time of your life.
All this was strange to me, so waited rath-
! er impatiently to hear how my father would ex
plain it, for wanted sadly to 20 to my marbles.
"The Bible" says he, describes the years of
man to be three score and ten, or four score
years. Now lite is very uncertain, and you
may not live single day longer; but if we d.
vide the four score years OF an old mans life in.
! to twelve parts, like the dial of clock, it will
! allow almost seven years for every figure.

I in this world which hitherto have neglected,
il is high time to set about it. The words Of
my father have given solelnnity TO the dial
