How did this happen?" he asked,

The young man then told him his sad and
mournful story; how, being an only son and
very beautiful, his parents petted and spoiled
him; how he went with bad boys and learned
all their bad habits and vices, and came to
love them; how, having plenty of money, he
was enticed into wicked places until all was
lost; and then, unable to work and ashamed
to beg, he began to steal, was caught and
imprisoned with the worst criminals, and
came out, still more depraved, to commit
worse crimes than that before; how every
bad deed he performed seemed to drive him
to commit q -Morse one. until It seemed to him
that he could not stop until brought to the
gallows.
Itwasa fearful tale, end brought tears
into the artist'seyc Hebesought the young
man to stop, offered to help him, and tried
his best to save him.. But, alas! it was too
late, Disease, contracted by dissipation, soon
prostrated the young man, and he died be-
fore he could reform. The painter hung his
portrait directly opposite that of the beautl-
full boy; and when visitors asked him why
he allowed such hideous-looking face to be
there, he told them the story, saying as he
closed: Between the angel and the demon
the are only twenty years Of vice" :.
The lesson of this tale is in the tale itself.
You who read it can tell what it is.
Think oft often, and heed it always.

string, and he slowly let it down into the
shop, and producing a long-shaped pad he

Twenty Years of vice.

Many years ago, celebrated Italian artist
was walking along the streets of his native
city, pcrplcxcd and dcsponding in con-
sequence of some irritating circumstances or
misfortune, when he beheld a little boy OF
such surprising beauty the he forgot his own
trouble and gloom in looking upon the
angelic face before him.
"That face must have" said the artist,
'for my studio. Will you como to my room
and sit for picture, my little manT
The little boy was glad to g and see the
pictures and pencils and curious things in
the artists room, and he was still more pleas.
ed when he saw what seem to be another
boy, looking just like himself, smiling from
the artists canvass.
The artist took great deal of pleasure in
looking at the sweet, innocent face. When
he was troubled, o. irritated, or perplcxed,
he lifted his eyes to that lovely image on the
wall, and its beautiful, hopeful features and
expression calmed his heart and made him
happy again. Many visitor to his studio
wished to purchase that lovely face; but,
though poor, and often in want Of money to
buy food and clothes, he would not sell his
good angel, as he call this portrait.
So years went on. Ottcntimes, as he
looked up to the face on tina glowing canvass,
he wondered what had become Of that boy.
"How 1 should like to see how he looks
now wonder if I should know him! Is
he a good man and true, or wicked and
abandoned? or has he died and gone to a
better world?"
One day the artist was strollinS down ono
of the fine walks of the city, when he beheld
young man whose face and mien were 81
vicious. so depraved, so almost feud-like
that he involuntarily stopped and gazed a'
him.
"What spectacle! should like t.
paint the figure and hangit i'll my studio
opposite the angcl-boy," said the artist tt
himself.
The young man asked the painter to-
money; for he was beggar as we'll as thief
Como to my room and let me paint you
portrait, and will give you all you ask,
said the artist.
The young man followed the painter, ant

he turned to 60, when his eyes rested upo
the picture of the boy he looked at il
turned pale, and then burst into tears.
"What troubles you man" asked the pain
ter.
1t was long before the young man coul
sneak. He sobbed aloud, and seemed pierce
with agony. At last he pointed to the pl'
ture on the wall, and in broken tones, whic
seemed to come from a broken heart, said

"scenes in the Sunny South gives
this picture of woman's education in
Algeria:
Before leaving I determined upon see
ing more of the town and its charming
environs, and the next day accompanied
Madame c., the landlady, mother, and
others, attended by a negroes as guide,
to see most interesting school for ma
tive Moorish girls, kept by Madame
Luce, in which they are taught all kinds
of needlework and solid acquirepapts
conducive to making them useful mem
bers of society instead of the helpless
drones they become under their own
system of rearing, which simply turns
them out nullities without mind or soul
in fact, mere drudges to attend upon
man or minister to his sensual appetites.
According to prejudices of the Mussul-
man race, woman is "a thing, an object,
q piece of furniture which one possesses,
but which should have no power to think
or act" Hence her profound ignorance
and qualification. When a boy is born
the Arabs and Moors say cit is bless
ing from God" but girl is pronounced
"a curse" As soon as the younger
children in Madame Luce's school saw
us men approaching they all wrapped ap
their faces or turned toward the wall,
but the grown-up girls had more sense,
anu iOUkeu 1T the mrurbrr5 Uf ufTC UUtror
sex as unconcernedly as any good Chris
tian. One grown-up girl who was very
good looking, spoke to me quite freely
in French about the beautiful embroidery
she was engaged upon, and other topics,
yet without the slightest forwardness'
She evidently had been ihdoctrinated with
the purest and noblest sentiments, and
one could not refrain from sorrrow tc
think that such an admirable young crea'
ture should be sent among her own peo'
pie, to share their degradation and de-
pravity. Her education-was it a bless
ing or curse? Often has the same re
fection passed through my mind at home
when have witnessed the high class o.
instruction given to girls whose lot in Lift
would never enable them to turn to sucl
requirements to account. When a Moor
ish girl comes into the world she inva
riably receives the name of Fatima, at
ter the daughter of the prophet, but atte
eight days her regular name is given tt
bor o+ q ceremonial fete. and this is gen
erally either Aicha, Bedra, Djohar, Fa

Kicked by A Mule.

sJake J Johnson had mule. There was moth
ing remarkable in the mere fact Of his being
the possessor of such an animal, hut there
was something peculiar about the mule.
He-the animal-could kick higher, nit
harder, on the slightest provocation, and act
uglier than any mule on record.
One morning riding his property tomarket,
Jake met Jim Boggs against whom he had
and old, but concealed grudge. He knew
Bogg's weakness lay in Dragging and betting;
therefore he saluted him accordingly.
allow are You, Jim? Fine morning@
Hearty, squire" replied Jim. Fine
weather Nice mule that you have, will he
do to bet on?"
iaaBet on? Guess he will that. I tell you
Jim Beggs, he's the best mule in this coun-
try. Paid $500 for him." 49,
"Great smash! is that so% calculated Jim
"Solid truth, every word oft. Tell you
con6dentialy, Jim, I'm taking him down for
betting purposes. I bet he can kick fly
off from any man without hurting him."
"Now look here, squire" says JIM, 81 am
not betting character, but I'll bet you
something on that myself"
"Jim, there's no use; don't bet, don't
want to win your money"
"Don't be alarmed, squire. I'll take
such bets as them every time"
swell, if you are determed to bet, I will
risk small stake-say five dollars"
GAIL right; squire, you're my man. But
who'll he kick the Ay off? There is no one
here but you and l. You try it"
aNo," says johnson :tI have to be by
the mule'shead to order him."
20! yes," says Jim. "Then probably
I'm the man. Wa'aH, III do it; but yor
are to bet ten to FIVE if I risk it." *
Gall right" quoth the squire. aNow
there is fly on your shoulder. Stand still :
And johnson adjusted the pule.
Whist Jervey," said he.
The mule raised his heels with such force
that Boggs rose in the air like bird, and
alighted on all-fours in a muddy ditch, bang
up against rail fence. 81
Rising, in towering rage, he exclaimed
"Yaas, that is smart! l knew your darnec
mulo couldn't do it. You had that all put
up. I wouldn't be kicked like that for fifty
dollars, You can just fork over them stakes
for it any way"
''Not SO fast jim; Jerrey did just what
said he could; that is, kick a fly off a mar
without its hurting him. You see the mule
is not injured by the operation. However
if you are not satisfied, we will try it again
as often as you wish"
s'The deuce take you," growled Jim, "I',d
rather have barn fall on me at once thar
have that critter k.ck me again. Keep the
stakes, but don't say anything about it."
And Boggs trudged on in his bitterness Of
s9ul murmuring to himself, "Sold, by thun.
der and kicked by mule"
