WHAT O'CLOCK Is IT ?-When was 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 of the minute
finger, and the hour hand, and described to me
the figures on the dial plate, until was pretty
perfect in my part.
No sooner was | quite master of this addi-
tional knowledge, than set off scampering to
JOIN my companions at game of marbles but
my father called me back again Stop, Hum.
phrey," said he, Il have something more to
tell you"
Back again went, wondering what else |
had got to learn for was certain knew
all about the clock, quite as well as my father
did
Humphrey" said he, "I have taught YOU
to know the time of the day. must now teach
You to find out the time of your life"
The Bible" says he, describes the wears
of man to be three score and ten, or four score
years Now life is very uncertain, and you
may not live Single day longer but if We
divide the four score years of mans life into
twelve parts, like the dial of a clock it will
allow almost seven years for every figure.
When boy is seven years old, then it is
one o'clock of his life, and this is the case with
you when you arrive at fourteen years it will
be two o'clock with you and when at twenty
one years it will be three o'clock, should il
please God thus to spare your life. In thi:
manner you may thus know the time of youl
life, and looking at the clock may perhaps re
mind you of it. My great-grandfather, accord
ing to his calculation, died at twelve o'clock
my grandfather at eleven, and my father at
ten. At what hour you and may die, Hum
phrey, is only known to Him to whom all things
are known"
Never since then have heard the inquiry,
"What o'clock is it ?" nor do l think that
| have ever looked at the face of the clock
without being reminded of the words of my
father

" Die of, yer honor He died of Friday"

"Oh, he died suddenly ?"
Rather that way, yer honor ?"
" Did he fall in fit ?"
No answer

| when he met the Squire's wife, of whom he
had managed to get full description, both
with regard to her temper and appearance, re-
turning homeward. "Ain't your name Mrs.
B. ?' he inquired, as they met "Yes," said
the old lady, snappishly, "but what's that your

did So" replied Nat, "sad you shouldn't buy
scissors or nothing else without his consent"
" It's all very we'll for him to talk that way
behind my back, ," said Mrs B., "but he wouldn't
do it if l was there. I'll show him whether

minedly, as she Immediately proceeded to pur-
chase numerous articles to the amount of about
three dollars, all the money she had with her,
after which she proceeded homeward boiling
over with wrath, and Nat proceeded on his
way whistling. Words would fail to give
correct description of the scene of elimination
and recrimination which followed when the
Squlre'S wife reached home and we shall not
attempt it, but shall pass on to an incident
which occurred some time after. The old folks
had become reconcled to each other, and went
by invitation to a neighboring town While
there they found their way into a showshop,
and almost the first thing that attracted their
attention, was their old clock. 1t looked as
natural as ever, and was altered in nothing
save its history-they learned for the first time,
from label upon it, that it had once been the
property of Gen. Washington, and that it had
been bought at auction by gentleman, togeth-
er with the documents proving its identity, and
sold to the proprietor of the show for tho ham,
dred dolIars! Nat Tucker was the last pedlar
that ever " sold' the Squire

The TArTLER-There is no being on the

temptible than tattler. Vicious principles,
want of honesty, servile meanneSs, despicable
insdiousness, form its character. Has he wit !?
In attempting to display it he makes himself
fool Has he friends By unhesitatingly
disclosing their secrets he will make them his
most bitter enemies. BY telling all he knows
he will soon discover to the world that he
knows but little. Does he envy an individual?
His tongue fruitful with falsehood, defames his
character. Does he covet the favor of any
one .? He attempts to gain it by slandering
others. His approach is feared, bis person ha-

The Corsicans are very demons in jealousy. and

his desertion of her, when he led bride to the
altar. AS he was coming out of the church

three months Imprisonment. Young men
riyalled each other in aspiring to her hand, but
none desired the young widow of the murdered
man.
The Corsican women, who sing the bloody
songs of vengeance are also able to combat
with gun and pistol. How often have they not
gallantly fought alongside of the men. 1t is
said that the Corsicans were, in a great part
indebted for their victory over the French,
at Borgo to the herosm of the women. They
also fought in the battle of Pontonuovo and
everybody yet speaks of the Giulio francesca,
of Pastoreccia, who welded gun by the side
of her husband during all that disastrous
conflict. She was engaged hand to hand with
French officer, whom she overcame and took
prisoner but when she saw the Corsicans
dispensing in flight, she gave him his liberty,
saying, at the same time, " Remember that
Corsican woman vanquished you and restored
your liberty" The Corsican women are the
living female figures of Tasso and Arioste.

One by one the moments fall
Some are coming, some are going
Do not seek to grasp them all.
One by one thy duties wait thee,
Let thy whole strength go to each,
Let no future dreams elate thee,
Learn the first what these can teach.
One by one (bright gifts from heayen)
JOYS are sent thee here below
Take them readily when given,
Ready, too, to let them go.
One by one thy griefs shall meet thee,
Do not fear an armed band;

Shadows passing through the land.
Do not look at life's long sorrow;
See how small each moments pain
God will help thee for tomorrow,
Every day begin again.
Every hour that fleets so slowly
Has its task to do or bear /;
Luminous the crown, and holy,
If thou set each gem with care
Do not linger with regretting,

Reaching heaven +; but one by one
Take them. lest the chain be broken
