ACHnD OR A BEeeAR.-It is easy to know
the knock of a beggar at ones door,. Low,
timid, hesitating; it seems to say-"I have
no claim on the kindness of this house Imay
be told I come too often; may be treated
as troublesome and unworthy mendicant !;

surly servant" How different on his return
from school, the loud knocking and bounding
step, the joyous rush of the child to his faith

and filings his arm around his neck, the bold
face and ready tongue with which be reminds
his father Of promised favor. Now, why
are Gods people bold To Father in God,

CHAPTER Nv.
A BARONET IN DIFFICULTIES.

BARoNET IN DIFFICULTIES.
Through fowery Devonshire lane, on a
pleasant spring afternoon, two men were slow.
ly riding, engaged in earnest conversation as
they went.
One was an elderly gentleman Of noble and
prepossessing appearance, whose lofty brow
and handsome features wore an expression of
deep sadness. His eyes were downcast, and
his listless attitude, as we'll as his melancholy
face, seemed to denote the detection of his
mind
His companion was evidently an inferior.
His honest but rugged countenance was de-
void of the refinement which characterized
that of the first described parsonage, and his
manner, combining unmistakable Difference
with sort of sturdy dignity natural to it,
marked the difference of rank between them.
Equals they were not, but friends in the
truest sense of the term. Roger Martin, born
on the Lyndhurst estate, had filled the post of
stewardat Lyndhurst Towers for several years
prior to the death of the late baronet, and
when the present Sir John Lyndhurst came
into possession, continued in the discharge of
the same duties. He was Sir Johns right
hand, his tried and trusty counselor, endeared
to him moreover by the ties of early compan-
iopship and association. Some years his SEN
ior, he had been the comrade of the young
heir in boyhood, had taught him to ride, to
shoot, to swim, and been his leader in many
youthful exploit, while keeping watchful
eye to bis safety, and never allowing him to
overstep the limits of prescribed rules When
the old baronet died, the son, succeeding to
the estate, could not divest himself of the SEN
timent which had grown and strengthened
with his years, Of reliance upon Roger, and
continued to regard him with all his old boy
ish affection and esteem, deterring almost in
variably to his opinion, and following his ad-
vice in all things pertaining to the manage
ment of his affairs.
In all things, save one; and this single ex.
ception had proved fatal to his prosperity.
He had allowed himself, contrary to Rogers
most strenuous counsel, to be entrapped into
a gigantic speculation, which be was assured

BENEFIT OF BEING KNOCKED ABoUT.-lt
is a good thing for young man to be knock

hearted parents may not think so. All
youths, or if not all, certainly nineteen-twen-
tieths of the sum total, enter life with sur
plusage of selfconceit. The sooner they are
relieved the better. If in measuring them
selves with wiser and older men than them

became impsaable.s They slighted before

foot. Reaching the house, they we're intro
duced into the selamlik, or chamber, reserved
for male visitors Here they found the slave
dealer standing, e short pipe in his hand. he
was little old 1ripolitan, Gassirgi Messoud-
Aga by name. He has followed the business
for forty years. After the customary saluta-
tions, pipes and coffee we're offered and taken
with the silence usual to orientisls before any
business transaction. An ebony young en-
much soon entered and whispered in Mes
soud's ear. The latter made sign of ac-
quiescence, and turning to the guests, said
"Bouyouroun" (permit me). The guests rose
and followed him into room of the harem.
A long divan, about foot and 8 half high
and four feet wide, surrounded three sides OF
the chamber. An excavation in the wall
held the cushions and coverings used at night.
The floor was covered with mats and loose
pieces of carpet. Upon the divan were seat
ed, side by side, two white girls from Circas-
sia, in the dress of their country. Opposite
were three other women, one of whom was
white, from Georgia, and the others black.
All arose as the visitors entered. One Of the
Circassians seemed scarcely "A She had

slightly less beautiful, but was q performer
on the kemendja or Turkish violin. in ad-
dition, she was recommended as good cook,
seamstress and washer. Her brown hair fell
to her knees. She looked at the visitors cool
ly, and fixed her eyes on the Egyptian with
an expression that seemed to ask him 10 pur.
chase her. At a sign from Messoud, one of
the black girls disrobed the Circassians. This
was not complicated process, as their dress
was simply tunic, q pair Of trousers, and
chemise. The younger seemed distressed
the other simply fixed her eyes upon the
floor. Messoud, passing his hands over them,
called attention to their good points. and made
them show their regular, pearly teeth, DE

gain. The youngest Circassian was quoted at
200 pounds Turkish, the elder at 130 and the
Georgian at 12O. The Egyptian found them
too high.priced, and took one Of the black
girls for 38 pounds. He simply wanted q
house.servant. The sale being completed,
the party were again served with pipes and
coffee. and left the house. ~
