FIETY-TIIREE BOAr-LOADs or WIVES.
That there is but Que step from the
sublime to the ridiculous is shown 10y
the full accounts ofthe recent revolution
in Turkey. Abdul ALsez, the Sultan
who had an immense accumulation OF
gold coin, variously y estimated at from
forty to one hundred million dollars, re-
fused to advance even a snail sum to
pay his soldiers and civil officers any
thing on account OF salary due thern-
But TO guard against an evil result he
ordered his nephew, the heir presump-
tive, to be imprisoned in cellar. A few
days later, at midnight, the Ministry
waited on the Sultan, announced that
y his reign had ended, and opening the
dungeon door of Prince Murad, next in
succession, hailed him as sovereign. The
deposed Sultan and his family were re-
moved by force to the Topcapou Palace,
in the old Seraglia, under strong escort,
while the new Sultan took possession OF
the Dolma Bagache Palace, and thence
to the mosque hard by, where he receiy
ed the homage OF the great dignltarieS
and of the army. and made promises of
being constitutional ruler. The tele-
gram which announces these changes
said that the deposed Sultan "accompa-
MED by fifty three boat-loads full Of wo-
men, was conveyed away" Fancy fifty
three boats full of wives The star of
Brigham Young pales in comparison, be-
fore that of Abdul Ahsez. Brigbams
twenty wives make small circumstance
by the side Of the Sublime Porte, sent
to solitary confinement with from seven
10 eight hundred wives 1t is promised
that Murad ", the new Sultan will live
almost in a state OF celibacy, bis harem
being limited, it is said, TO some forty
or fifty wives. Even with this limitation
he throws Brigham in the shade.

The sIeddresome June Bug.

The other night Mary Jane Jones'
beau came up to see her and invited
Mary Jane out to have some ice cream
and soda water which has very ex-
hiIaratirg effect on some people, and it
proved to be the case with this young
man. Just as soon as he had got that
ice cream down he began to think how
nice it would be to have Mary Jane
always with him, aud then he began to
calculate how far so week would 60
towards supporting family, and he
concluded that with economy and man.
agemept on Mary James part and some
selt-denial on his, such as not playing
billiards but once week, and limiting
himself to say ten cigars in that time,
they might live very nicely. Provisions
did not cost much, and Mary James
clothes could not be very expensive,
say twenty dollars a year or so, and
well, he calculated it all as be walked
home with her and resolved that night
to know his fate.
Mary Jane noticed that he was very
distracted and guessed the reason and
felt glad within herself that she had
put on her white dress and new bus
tie, feeling quite sure that these had
done the business, for what young man
can resist a white dress, let alone 4
beautiful new hustle. When they got
to the front gate they saw that the
front steps were fully occupied by the
residue of the Jones family, so they sat
down on the horse-block under the
spreading naples and there he essayed
to tell the story OF his love. Just as
he got to where he was going to SAY in
conclusion. "The world is dreamy
waste to me without you, Mary Jane,
q bug dropped from over head right
down the back of Mary James dress.
She jumped up and gave Modocian
whoop and frantic;lly clatched at the
back of her neck and shouted ''catch
him, o-o-o-wouch; catch him, he's kill
inc me; and the way she tore round
there and danced up and down scared
the poor young man nearly to. death.
and brought the Jones family out head
ed, by the old gentleman who made
straight for the supposed chin and
kicked him off the sidewalk, running
his new summer clothes and causing
him to go right around the first corner
home.
Then the neighbors helped catch.
n
down her back and brought forth the
bug, and she wept sorely and trod it
ruthelessly under foot, remembering
what might have been if the bug hadn't
been.
Then she explained it all very clearly
to those neighbors, but they snitfed
their noses in the air and remarked to
each other privately to the effect of its
being very likely story indeed that a
June bug should stir up such fracas
and get young man kicked off the
walk, they guessed. If the truth was
known, etc.
All this week Mary Jane has gone
round with disheyeled locks and has at
tained q chronic squnt from much
watching through closed blinds for a
form that don't come; and her young
man stays within the fastness OF the
store and wonders, with a pain that
never dies, what allied Mary Jane, and
if they always act that way, and the
evenings and mornings go right on and
don't answer.

for tree, with only two cartridges left
and him a comm. Well, to make a
long story short, l shot twice, hittin'
him both times, and he begun to git

I knocked him down three times before
my gun broke. He started on the
fourth trip, and L didn't know what 10

it is true that
no one can escape temptation entirely,
there is no doubt that he can largely
modify its influence. The temptations
which inhere in a mans moral make-np,
he cannot wholly run away from, how
much soeyer he may desire it, because
the evil is in him, as disease is in the
tainted blood. But he can largely mod.
ify its action and lessen its virulence.-
One way to DO this is to keep himself
from sights and surroundings which in
flame his passions, and sharpen the edge
of bis appetites. II his temptation is in
the direction of stimulants, then let him
avoid the sight and smell of liquor and
the ccmpanionship OF those who drink.
So, whatever his weakness, let him keep
beyond the reach of whatever can pene-
trate him at that point. The Indian
method of fighting is ar excellent one
in spiritual warfare. The soldier Of
Christ should keep himself under cover
as much as he can. A good deal of
dodging is allowable in contest with
Satan. ''Discretion is the better part of
valor," at times, and it is better TO beat
a mastery retreat than to have your
soul captured bodily. a man who is
morally weak at any point, and who
nevertheless, persistentiy exposes that
point to attack, commits the gravest OF
sins-The Golden Ruis. - fes 81

RISING IN THE WoRLD.-You should
bear constantly in mind that nlne-tenths
of us are, from the very nature and
necessities of the world, born to gain
our livelihood by the sweat OF the brow.
What reason have we, then, toplesume
that our children are not to do the
same ? If they be, as now and then
one will be, endowed with extraordinary
powers of mind, these powers may have
an opportunity of developing themsei-
YES; and if they never have that oppor
tunity, the harm is not 'ery great to us
or to them. Nor does it hence follow
that the descendants of laborers are
;lSays to be lAborers. The path up
wards is steep and long to be sure.
Industry, care, skill, excellence, in the
present parent, lay the foundation OF
rise, under more favorable ciEcumstan-
ces, for the children.
The children of these take another
rise; and by and by the descendants of
the present laborer become gentlemen.
This is the natural progsess. 1t Is by
attempting to reach the top at q single
leap that so much misery is produced
in the world; and the propensity to
make such attempt has been cherished
and encouraged by the strange projects
that we have witnessed of late years
for making the laborers vlrtuous and
happy by giving them what is called
education.
The education which l speak Of con-
ssts in bringing children up to labor
with steadiness, with care, and with
skill; to show them how to do as many
useful things as possible; to teach them
to do them all in the best manner; to
set them an example in industry, sobrle-
ty. cleanliness, and neatnsSs; TO make
all these habitual to them, so that they
never shall be liable to fall into the
contrary; to let them always see Il good
living proceeding from labor, and thus
to remove from them the temptation to
get at the goods of others by violent or
fraudulent means, and to keep far from
their minds all the inducements to
hypocrisy and deceit.

GENERAL ALEXANDER w. REYNOLDS
the news Of whose sudden death at Alex
andria, Egypt, May goth. has been re-
ceived, was native of this State, being
born at Lewisburg, in Greenbrier coun
ty, and he numbered good many rela-
tives in that county, at the time OF his
death, General Mathews the present
Democratic candidate for Governor Of
this State, being among the number. A
sister of General Reynolds also lives at
Lewisburg. The ex-contederates of the
State speak of the services of the de-
ceased during the war, az mer torlous
and distinguished,and he seems 70 have
joined to the accomplishments of sue
cessful soldier, the virtues of an accom-
plished and exemplary gentleman. An
obituary Inotice of him published in the
New York Hrraid states that lie was a
graduate of West Point, of the class of
1888, of which Generals Z. G.. 7. Beau
regard, William f. Barry, Irwin Mellow
eli, William J. Har,lee, Robert S. Gran
ger, Henry NJ. Sibley, Edward Johnson,
Andrew J. Smith, Justis McKinstry
and other Union aud Confederate gen
erals of less note were also members
General Reynolds served in the First
infantry from July l, lS3s,antil August
5, l947, when he was appointed assist
ant quartermaster with the rank of cap
tain, and shortly after resigned his regi-
mental commission. Under the act Of
August 5, lS61,he was summarily drop
ped from the roll of the army October
4, 1861 for absence without leave, and
afterward became a Confederate briga-
dier general. Soon after the close OF the
war he entered the service of the KEe-
dive, and at the time OF his death was
