EUROPEAN SLAVERY late number of
the Moor, a-iournal published at Agram, in
Hungarian Choatin, contains, under date Of
bucharest, in Wallachla, the following ad-
vertisemenl: For sale, BY the sons and
heirs oil the late Serdlr Nicholas Nika, resid-
ing at Bucharest, in the suburb Of ST. Vanire,
tteo hundred families of Bohemians, of whom
the majority Of the male members are Iabor>
ers, locksmilhs, goldsmiths, shoemakars, and
musicians. The proprietors of these Bohe-
mians will not sell less than FIVE families at
a time; but, in return, the price or each indi-
Ividual will be one ducat below the ordinary
lprice, and facilities wall be afforded Cor paw
Ement." This advertisement is not, as might
first be imagined, mere hoax. Ii is per-
lfectly serious, and, what IS more, is quite
legal; for the civil code, granted in 1918 bv
Prince John KaFadeeha to the people Of
Wsllaehla and Moldavia, and which is still
in force in those countries, confirms in ex-
Iplicit and formal terms the law Of slavery.
Thus. while the great Powers Of Christen-
dom annually expend vast sums in main :

RULES FOR DOMESTIC HAPPINESS II. Every
day let your eye be fixed on God through
the Lord Jesus Christ, that, by the influence
OF his holy spirit, you may receive your mer-
cies as coming from him, and that you NAV
use them TO his glory. 2. Never suffer your
regard for each others society 10 rob God OF
your heart, or of the time which you owe to
God and to your own soul. g. Be careful
that custom and habit DO not lessen your
attentions to each other, or the pleasing sat-
isfaction with which they were once both
shown and received. 4. Whenever YOU
perceive alanguori in your affections, always
make II a rule to suspect yourself The OBJ
iect which once inspired regard, may perhaps
be still the same, and the blame only attacks
| es TO you. 5. Be sure to avoid unkind and
Irritating language. Always conciIiate. Il
is your interest and your duty. Recollec,
what God has borne with YOU. s. Study
Iyour partners character and disposition
Many little nice adjustments are requisite
FOR happiness. You must both accommodate
or you will both be unhappy. :. Do not
4 expect too much. You are not always the
same, any more than your partner. Sens-
bility must be watched over, or it will soon
discover failings which you did not suspect
) and this you may be sure will be the case
J make il your prayer that your regard be nc
diminished. III you are heirs OF The grace
Of life, your failings viii shortly be over
you will hereafter both be perfect in the Di
vine image. Esteem and love each othc.
now as you certainly will then. Forbearanc,
is the trial and grace OF this life only.

CONSCIENCE has no tempsa-
tation TO be otherwise than faithful. Il may
be abused; it may be loaded down with
weight, but cannot be crushed: the cauter-
izing iron may be applied, but though scared,
It cannot be killed. You may shut your
eyes, but il will whisper in your ears, you
may stop yonr ears, but il will tremble in your
nerves. Wien It cannot thunder. It viii
whisper; It's silence is often more terrible
than its utterance. Il has most tenacious
memory, as well as most tender sensibility.
The testimony Of a good conseience, there's
fore, IS mere to be desired than mountains
.of gold.

Waiting moment as il to hear the

and looked down on the audience. The
young Clergyman arose to pray. He is

AN ESOPIAN RELIC.

| A friend sends US the following ins,ruc
tive fable, assuring US that it is Of genuin
antiquity, although he cannot recoIlect it
source. Though fragment--for it ha
no moral to tive think it worth pre-
serving, intoxicating, as it does, lessor
OF humanity. One occasionally sees such
thingsin real lfe.-National Lntel2igencer
A FABLE.-A King made law that il
any one suffered from injustice or ngrati.
tude, the injured man should call upon
the people by the .olling of bel
hung in a temple which the gooc
King had caused to be buiIded for the pur
pose, at which sound it wasordered to the
citizens to gather together, TO hear the
complaint, and to adjudge justice for the
wrongs that should be shown to them.
The people of this country were so vir-
tuous that long time passed and no
one had complained Of injustice or
lngratitude; and meanwhile the building
began TO decay. Its doors had rotted
from their hinges, bramblcs had begun
to choke up lis entrance-way; while tall
grass sprung up from the crannies Of its
pavements, and spiders iestooned the cap
itals Of its columns.
, The good King was dead, and so were
many Of his SUCCESSORS; and the uses oil
the place itself had almost come to be re
membered only as some old legend, when
late one night, in the midst Of bowling
winter, the toll,ng of tie bell ,Cas heard.
The inhabitants of me city at midnigh'
surrounded he place, and found, to their
surprise, only an old horse, which seek
ing shelter from the snow, and strayed
there, and whose feet had become entan
gled with the bell-rope, and by chance
rung il.
The simple. minded habits Of reveren
aud obedience for those placed IN authori-
ty which marked the people of those days,
they ordered the owner Of the beast 10 be
sought COR and brought before them. It
was proved that it had been useful and
faithful to him in his youth, but that now
il had grown old, and that he had turned
it out OF doors, regardless OF its welfare,
to seek shelter and TO pick up scanty
living as miserably as possible, by begga-
ry or robbery by the way SIDE
And the simple hearted but right.mind.
ed people, who stood thus together at mid
night round he old temple, saw plainly
that here was injustice and ingratitude
such as the edict o! the good king had
many years before ordered them to Judge
and, FIRST taking from the owner Of the
animal portion Of those means which il
had aided him in acquiring, sufficient TO
protect his old age from suffering and
want, they ordered him to leave their city
and never TO return to ii; 'for,' said they,
"a man who will not protect TO the end an
old and faithful servant--of what use Is
he in the worldf'
But this was long while ago.

Quilted love.
Go faithless one, go wander,
False heart With giIded brow
Twere base in me TO squander
One thought upon thee now
In other regions rowing,
Thy fortune still may find
True hearts--but none so loving;
Fond eyes, but none so blind.
The foolish heart is breaking
That now commands :hee GO;
And not nerve is sha king
Its secret pang to show.
Though all its hopes have persisted,
No curious eye shall see,
That it has ever cherished
A moments love for thee.
