Have you Seen my Camel.

Saadi was taking his evening
stroll towards the gardens outside
of Shiraz, when his attention was
drawn to a plot of clovez which
had been eaten all round the edges,
and the center left. Seeing by the
footprints that it had been camel
grazing, he commenced thinking
why it had not eaten in the center.
He at last came to the conclusion
that the camel must have been blind
in one eye. On going round the
corner Of the plot, he found that. it
had there been unloaded. Notice
ing where the animal had kneeled
while his load was removed, he saw
on one side lot of large flies, ard
on the other lot of smaller ones.
After thinking for some time what
could be the cause of these two
sorts Of flies accummlating, he con-
c,udad that one side ofthe load had
been meat, and the other side sugar.
Seeing near the spot the imprlnts of
woman's shoes, and also the
marks of her hands, he concluded
that she had been q stout woman,
and had put her hands on the
ground to assist her inrising. With
this he moved on. Presently he
was overtaken by man who IN
ouired if he had seen a camel.
'sIIad it only one eye ?" asked
Saadi.
The man answered, S'By the
beard of the Prophet, you are
right
.sAnd it was loaded with part
meat and part sugar %
"As | am your sacrifice, you are
right
And had a stout woman with
it,
s'By the holy Kehla, it had"
"Weli," said saadi, "I have seen
nothing Of your camel"
At which the fellow got into q
passion, aud beat Saadi with a
stick, asking him how it was posi-
BILE for him to describe the camel
and its appurtenances SO correctly if
he had not seen it.
Ever after this, Sheik Saadi adj
vised his friends not to prevaricate,
rs they might get tlirasiied for their
pains. 1t is also a standing saying,
used in the following manner: if a
person wishes another to keep
secret, be asks him, 'shave You seen
my camel?" If the person intends
to say nothing about What he knows,
he answers, 81 have not even seen
its foot-marks."

Eyes and R,o Eyes.

You have all read the story in
the school readers OF the two boys
who went over the same route, one
with his eyes open, and the other
with them shut. 1t is old, but
worth repeating and worth remem-
herring every day. So many things
clip by us, SO many things worth
knowing go on right under our eyes
without being noticed.
[ knew a man, think | may
have told you OF him before-a
busy man, who had very little time
for reading or study, but whose
mind was a perfect stolehouse OF in
formation on almost every subject.
s'IIow does it happen that you
know so much more than the rest
of us 20 | asked him one day.
"Oh," said he, II never had time
to lay in a regular stock of learning,
SO | save all the bits that come in
my way, and they count up a good
deal in the course Of the year.
That is just the thing-save all
the bits.
'sThat boy said a gentleman,
@always seems to be on the lookout
for something to see"
So he was; and while waiting
in a newspaper Office for package,
he learned by using his eyes, how
q mailing machine was operated.
While he waited at the florists he
saw a man setting a great box OF
cuttings, and learned, by the use OF
his eyes, what he neyer would have
guessed, that slips rooted best IN
nearly pure sand.
This is lapis lazuli," said the
.ieweler to his customer "and this IS
chrysoprase.
And the wide-aWake errand-boy
turned around from the door to
take sharp look SO that in future
he knew just how two precious
stones looked. In one day he
learned of the barber what became
OF the hair clippings; ofthe carpen-
ter, how to drive nail SO as not to
split the wood of the shoemaker,
how the different surfaces of fancy
feathers are made; of a locust, that
ms mouth was of no use TO him III

THE KU KLUX.

The testimony IS to the extent of the
Ku-Klux organization in the south, and
the evil that it IS working, is accumulat-
ing, day by day. The Washington
Chronicle says:
attorney General Akerman, in dis.
cussing political affairs, recently remark
ed that persons that had not deeply look
ed into the matter could not realize the
extent of the KuKluX organizations in
some sections of the Southern States.
He says that, having been associated with
the people of the South, and having re.
Gently Travelled about That country, and
observed for himself, he is satisfied that
it is impossible to govern the people
with local courts, jurtes, &c, until the
Ku-Kiux organizations are entirely
broken up"
1t would seem as though this testimo
ny of Alderman ought to be taken as con
elusive against that of all northern Dem
ocrsts and unrepentant rebels to the
contrary. tie is southern man, and

ed, but there is no shadow of doubt with
any we'll informed person that this organ
Ization exists, and Families the whole
South; that it is great and CRYING evil,
and that it must be crushed before there
can be peace, personal safety and good
government throughout the southern
states. 1t Is time that all lovers of law
and order should unite in their efforts to
put down this Infamous organization.
1t ought not to be question Of party,

NEW Form OF DRUNKENNEss.-The
Lancet calls attention TO the enormous
manufacture of the new sedative drug,
chl"ral. 1t states that it is sold by tons
a week, and quotes a letter from Baron
Liehig, affirming that one German chem,
ist manufactures and sells half ton
every week. OF course, no such quaint
ty is used in medicine, and the Lancet
seems half afraid that it gets into beer
but there is simpler explanation, as it
will find on inquiry Taking chloral is
a new and popular vice, particularly
among women, and is doing as much
harm as alcohol. The drug is kept in
thousands of dressing cases, and those
who begin its use often grow so addicted
to it that they pass their lives in sort
of stupetaction. Chloral drunkenness
will soon be an admitted variety of the
species.-LOndo1 Spectator.

THE CHICKEN CHoLERA.-There have
been large numbers Of chickens destroy
ed in the eastern counties Of this state
the present season by what is called the
chicken cholera" We think, however,
that this and most if not all the diseases
of the poultry yard could be guarded
against if due attention was paid oil the
time to the health of the fowls. Many
farmers and others who raise large mum
bers take no precautions in this way.
They do nothing of any account until
the trouble is upon them, and then it is
generally too late. To raise fowls success
fully year after year the best provision
must be made for their comfort and
health. And this is not difficult to know
or 10 do. Self.interest ought to teach
every one that the old adage holds good
in this as in other things, that an "ounce
of prevention is better than pound o.
cure"
