The Famine i'm Asia Minor.

THE extent of the ravages of the famine
in Asia Minor is shown by some terrible
figures published in the Le0Gnt Herald.
Taking forty-two villages in district in
which the English Relief Committee has
been at work as subjects of investiga-
tion, the following statistics have been
obtained: The total of the population
in 1878 was 10000; it is now reduced to
9,261; 4,997 have died and 2,642 are de-
scribed as dispersed" These poor
people had, in 1873, S,sO6 pair of oxen
they now have 427; they had, in 1873,
81 ,240 sheep, but now possess only 3,312;
5,o35 of the inhabitants of these villages
have been supplied with wheat by the
English Relief Committee. Another
district, containing 100 to ITO villages,
in respect of which similar calculations
have been made, seems to have suffered
not less severely. Its population in 1878
was $4,000; the approximate number OF
deaths is stated at 10000, the number of
population dispersed at 1000, and there
is now a remainder of 5000.

Ten Thousand a Year.

When I was about eighteen years old
Il speak of very distant period), used
to 90 on Saturday afternoon during the
beautiful season to spend the Sunday
with my mother, who lived at v.
some five miles frem my place of labor
I usually went on foot, and was sure to
find sitting under an old oak on the route
great fellow, who always cried out to
me in squeaking voice: Can you give
poor man a little something, my good
sir?"
He was pretty sure to have his appeal
answered by the clinking of few cop
pers in his old felt hat.
One day as was paying my tribute to
Anthony (for so he called himse.f) there
came along good-looking gentleman to
whom the beggar addressed his squeak
ing cry: "Can you give poor man a lit
tie something, my good sir?"
The gentleman stopped, and, having
fixed his eye on Anthony moment, said :
You seem to be intelligent and able to
work-why do you follow such mean
vocation here? 1 should be right glad to
draw you from it, and give you ten Mow-
sand dollars q year,"
Anthony began to laugh, and l Ijoined
in with him.
"Laugh as much as you please" re-
piled the gentleman" but follow my ad-
vice and you'll have what l promise
you. can show it to you also by ex-
ample.
II have been as poor as you are; but
instead of begging, | made out ofa~ old
basket sort of sack, and went II IN
house to house and village to village and
asked the people to give me, not their
money, but their old rags, which then
sold readily to the paper-maker.
"At the end of a year did not ask the
rags for nothing, but paid cash for them
and had besides an old horse and cart
to assist me in my work.
"Five years afterward had six
thousand dollars, and / married the
daughter of the paper maker, who took
me into partnership with him. was but
little accustomed to the business, con-
fess, but ] was young and active; knew
how to work and undergo privation.
"Now / own two good houses In the
city, and have turned my paper-mill
over to my son, whom I easily taught to-
labor and endure hardship without MUIR
muring. Now, do as / have done, my
friend, end you will become as well off
as 1 am"
Saying this, the old gentleman rode on,
leaving Anthony so absorbed in thought
that two ladies passed without hearing
his old falsetto supplication: "Give a
poor man little something, if you
please, today"
Twenty years afterward / had occa-
sion to enter a bookstore for some pur-
chases. A large and welldressed gentle,
man was walking through the store and
giving orders to some halfa-dozen clerks.
We looked at each other as people DO
who, without being acquainted seem 70
have some faint impression that they
have met before.
"Sir." said he to me at the further end
of the store. "were you not in the habit
twenty years ago of walking out to V
on Saturday afternoons?"
"What Anthony, is it your" cried /.
"Sir," replied he, "you see Anthony ;
the old gentleman was right. He gave
me TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS YEAR p
