related to me, without embel-
ishment. This property owned
by Tchelby Yorgaky, at Bebek,
was inherited by him from his
father, and the latter became
its posessor from that pledge in
boyhood exchanged between
Yohannis and Ibrahim.

lar form Of words. In any
other dress it looks like a
stranger and an enemy Apart
from the inexact use of lam
guage, which belongs to- un-
trained or half-trained minds,
there is an endless diversity of
phrase in which the same truth
may clothe itself.
There may be an upright and
sincere disposition to embrace
the truth, which yet, for want
of suitable light and knowledge,
is not apprehended. Many de-
vout the theologians have made
room for Socrates on this prin-
ciple. If it were generally ad-
mitted, inCulpabLe ignorance
and misunderstanding would be
more leniently judged. Men
would look at the temper of
heart, which is something
deeper. than opinion. Tenny-
son writes: .H-iUJ '
"Perplext in faith, but pure in deeds,
At last he beat his music out,
There lives more faith IN honest doubt,
Believe me, than in half the creeds."
This is unsound theology,un-
less we allow the possibility of
true and believing temper,
which for the time may be baf-
fled and confused by the Cir
cumstanceS in which one is
placed, by infelicities in tenn
permanent, in education, or in
the surrounding atmosphere
Of thought.
I have left myself little space
in which to speak of indiffer-
ence. Indifference is spurious
catholicity; it is a counterfeit,
The root of catholicity is love.
The secret of a truly catholic
spirit is found in that wonder
full pertraiture-hymn it almost
is-of charity, which is found
in the thirteenth chapter Of the
first EpiStle to the Corinthians.
The root of indifference is
skepticism, and a skepticism
from which all earnest seeking
for truth is absent. Jesus, when
he said that whosoever is not
against him is for him.. depicts
the catholic spirit. Pontius
PLATE, with his question, in
which an insulting compassion
and contempt were equally ex-
pressed: "What is truth2" ex-
emplifes the mood of the indif-
ferentist. In some aspects, a
fanatic intolerance is less re-
pulsive than the cool and su-
percilious indifference which,
at the present day, not unfe-
quently wears the mein and
claims the merit of genuine
catholicity and liberation,

AN EASTERN ROMANCE.
BY J. NJ. FRANCIS, CONSUL AT ATHENS

~ o' h' rhhNNlo, NONoOL al AIHEND.
a few years since there lived
in Bebek, a village ON the Bos-
IphOrus some six miles above
Constantinople,a Ian elderly Greek
gentleman named Tchelby Yor-
gaky. A warm hearted, genial
old gentleman was Mr.. Yorgaky.
He was the posessor of some
property in real estate, and a
sufficient income was derived
from this source to supply the
moderate wants of himself and
his amiable wife, leaving a bal
ance, more or less, which was
distributed for charitable OBJ
jects. They had no children.
The venerable couple were very
happy in each others society;
they had few intimate associ-
ates outside. But among these
was a friend of ours, an emf
nent American citizen. who for
some time resided near. their
dwelling in Bebek. One day
our friend was invited to spend
a social evening with Mr..
yorgaky, the latter saying that
if it were agreeable, he would
on this occasion, relate some
facts of his family history which
might possibly prove interesting
as constituting a strange chap
ter Of real life in the East. Our
friend promptly accepted the
invitation, as any live Yankee
would have done under this
stimulus to curiosity. The old
gentleman's statement - and
our friend vouchsafed for Yor-
gaky's character for truthful
ness after an intimate acquaint-
ance with him for many years
was substantially as follows:
My fathers. name was Yo-
hannis Giros. His father car
ried on the bakery business.
AT quite an early age Yohannis
was employed as bread seller at
his fathers stall near the Egyp-
tian bazaar at Stamboul. There
he made the acquaintance of a
Turkish boy about his own age,
named Ibrahim, who was en-
gagged as salesman in his faith
er's tobacco shop close by. A
remarkable friendship grew up
between these two boys. They
INDUCED in sports together.
They talked over plans in bu-
siness by which in future years
they might not be separated a
single day. They would achieve
fortune, and share their wealth
These were the day
dreams of Yohannis and Ibra-
him. Time wore on. The boys
had attained the age of seven
teen or eighteen years. Ibra-
him's father secured for his son
a situation as tchiboukgi (pipe-
bearer) to the Pasha of Bagdad.
This was a great honor for a
boy in humble circumstances.
But Ibrahim did not desire the
place, for it would take him far
away from Yohannis. Parent
al decision, ,however,was omnipo-
tent in the case, and 60 he
must. But before separating |

Selected Poetry.
The Isle of the Long Ago. "

Oh u wonderful stream is the river of Time
AS 1t runs through the realm of tears,
With its faultlesS rythm and musical rhyme.
And bOundless sweep and surge sublime
AS 1t blends with the ocean Of years.
How the winters are drifting like flakes of
snow.
And tho summer like buds between,
And the years in the sheaf-so they come and
they go
On the rivers breast with its ebb and its flow,
AS 1t glides in the shadow and sheen.
There is a magical Isle up the river of Time
A nd the sOftest of airs are playing,
And cloudless sky and tropical cline
And song as sweet as q Vesper chime
And the june with its roses Is staying.
And the name Of that Isle is the "Long Ago."
And we bury our treasures there,
There age Lrows of beauty and bosoms of snow
There are heaps of dust but we loved them so,
There are trinkets and tresses OF hair.
There are fragments of songs that nobody
And part of IN infants prayer.
There's q lutte unswept and a harp without
strings,
There are broken VOWS and time worn rings
And the garments one used to wear.
There are hands that are waved when that
-. fairysshore a.ssst5
BY the mirage that is lifted in air,
And we sometimes hear through the turbu-
lent roar
Sweet voices we heard in days gone before
When the wind down the riveris fair
Oh! remembered for aye be this blessed Isle
All the day OF our life until night
