Turkey in Asia.

The population of Turkey in Asia is
estimated at 16, 600, 900, of whom about
one fourth are Christians. They, how
ever, are divided into a number of dis
tinct, and in some cases, unfortunately
hostile races and sects. The Armenians
are the most numerous and influential,
They were once powerful, independent
Nation, occupying the whole upland re-
gion between the Black Sea, the Caspian
and the plain of Mesopotamia. They
were conquered by the Mohammedans in
the eleventh century, and subsequently
their country was divided between the
Turks and the Persians. Since the begin
ming of the present century the aggressions
of Russia have placed about quarter of
million of Armenians under the rule of
the Car. In the Turkish Provinces
(EyalaO of Erzeroum and Kharput they
constitute a very large proportion of the
population, and many villages are eXclu-
sively occupied by them. But they are
not confined to those provinces. Like the
Jews, they are scattered people. Colonies
are found in every city Of Turkey; and as
bankers, merchants, manufacturers and
skilled artisans, they are among the most
successful and influential citizens. They
are destined to play a leading part in the

in the European 100000. They are rap
idly increasing in wealth, education and
political influence and as they have pros
porous communities in the great cities of
Europe and British India, they have very
special claims upon Christian Nations.
The adherents of the Greek Church rank
next, numbering about 100000. They

letting her head droop against his
shoulder.
He did it. There are no words by
which so sudden a revulsion of feeling
can be described. The half-hour that
followed was the happiest in his life.
Suddenly he remembered himself.

me-they will say it was your money"
"Are you sure you are so poor?" she
said, archly.

Marshes valentine into his hand
He tried to, but he could not take his
gaze from her; and the letters seemed
confused. [
q Listen,p she said, and read it,. Slow
" the truth dawned upon him. Jones,
the clerk, in his hurry, fearing to be
caught peeping, had put the letter and
the valentine in the wrong envelopes, or
rather confused the addresses. Marie
got, instead of valentine, a long letter
| from Copp, the second principal of the
firm, which had been really meant for
Thurstan The valentine went heaven
knows where Of course how it hap
pened was not found out till afterwards,
but there was no installing the contents
| of the letter
Copp in formal phrase informed Mr..
| Thurstan Baynard that by the terms of
| the will of Gen. Dir Frederick Barnard,
| just deceased-a distant relation who had
| never previously owned him-be was en-
| titled to very large sum in eonsols, and
| still more valuable estates; provided-ah,
whenever was there a blessing without a
| black side provided that within the
| space Of twelve months he married lady
| possessed of not less than given amount,
upon whose children the whole was to be
| settled. The old man was miser, and
| it had been the work of his life to re-.
habilitate the fallen fortunes of the fam
| lily. Casting about for means Of keep
| ing the money he had painfully amassed
in the family, he had hit upon this: odd
but not unreasonable idea.
70 So you see,'' said Marie, "youre
richer than am. Perhaps you won I
have me now?"
| His answer was fresh embrace.
"Ah,'' she said, hooking his previous
| ly mournful tone, "I'm so poor now
compared to you, you'll think it was your
money"
+" Incorrigible," said he, kissing her.
IncorrigibIe, indeed,'' cried Aunt
Jane, who had entered unseen. "This
really is shameful-mostun gentlemanly'
g He is richer than-everybody said
Marie, laughing. "This is the most
beautiful valentine I ever had.''
''And this is the most beautiful one
ever had or ever shall have,' said he,
laying his hand on her shoulder with an
air of possession that Mortified Aunt Jane.
Matters, however, were soon explained,
and her objections melted away, as did
| Mr. Delaselle's.
They were married early in May, Capt.
| Williams being Thurstan's best man.
l was certain she loved YOU, ~ he said.
" can understand now what she meant
on st. Valentines Eve when she looked
at me SO meaningly, when said the best
and truest woman was the one that mar
ried for love: She loved you when you
were poor. You ought to be grateful to
st. Valentine all your life. ''-London So

Asia Minor and Syria. There is no prov
lnce or section of Asiatic Turkey in
which they are in majority, except two
or three Of the islands They live in de-
tached communities, chiefly in the cities
and villages near the coast, and are prin-
elpally engaged in commerce and manu-
Iacture, though many cultivate the soil.
Within the past half century they have
made great advances in education The
Latlns, who number at least 1OO, 700, are
converts from the other churches to Cathol-
icism, and reside almost exclusively in
large cities, such as Damascus, Jerusalem.
Beyrout, Aleppo and Smyrna, where they
have well-endowed converts and educa-
tional establishments. The Maronites are
confined to Mount Lebanon, whose rugged
sides and sublime glens they have con-
verted into a paradise. They want the
commercial acuteness of the Greek and
the financial genius of the Armenian, but in
persevering industry, manly independence
and courage, they excel all the other
Christian sects. They number about
$50 600. Beside these, there are some
&c, 900 connected with the ancient Jacob
lite Church and $4,000 HISTORIANS, scat
tered over the northeastern parts of Syria
and the highlands of Mesopotamia and
kurdistan. They are peaceable, thrifty
and energetic peasants. Prof. Porter, Of

Pruning Evergreen Hedges.

We have before us an excellent illustra-
ton OF two very important principles.
One is that in practical matters it is nee
essary TO repeat things over and over
again; and the other is that in the
oretlcal matters one may be right and not
wrong after all. A correspondent tells US
that he has an arbor-vitp hedge that he
wishes to prune because it is so straggly,
and intended to cut it down next spring;
but one of his neighbors, who had some
repute as grape-pruner, tells him he
should cut it at once, as his experience as
primer teaches him that tree cut in the
fall always pushes out more strongly in
spring than one left to that season before
it is pruned. He does not wish to spoil
his hedge. His neighbours advice seems
reasonable, but he would like to know
our views before taking the final step.
Now, we have time and again given our
views in these columns as to the proper
time to prune evergreen hedges; but we
know by experience that matters of rule
cannot be repeated too often. A good
prayer is not the less strengthening to the
earnest seeker after the right because it is
used so often, nor is a practical rule in
gardening. We should, therefore, have
no hesitation about going over the ground
again, as what we may say will be an adj
vantage. But in this case we see the adj
vantage of referring to it from the SEEM
ing contradiction it involves, for we are
ready to admit that grapevine pruned
IN fall will push more strongly than one
pruned in spring; and yet we should have
to teach that the spring is the best time to
trim evergreen hedges.
In the first place, one does not want
hedge to grow particularly strong The
strong growth of Norway and hemlock
spruce and the arbor- vitse-the kinds
usually employed for evergreen hedges
is their weakness for their particular pur-
pose. We want them to cease being trees
and come down to well -behaved shrubs.
1t is because of its strong growth that it is
already 80 Struggling that our correspond
ent wishes to cut it down. Let the grape
grower cut to make his vines strong. We
have no such object in pruning hedges.
But the great disadvantage in pruning
evergreen hedges in winter time comes
from the exposure of so much tender TO-
liage to the piercing cold. The interior
leaves, ripened in the shade and enfeebled
by tender protection from every breath
of cold air, is in no condition TO battle
suddenly with the boreal hosts, and, if ex-
posed to these northwesters, are bound to
suffer. We shall find that hedge, so
cut, gets out considerably more than we
desired before the spring time comes.
The proper time to prune struggling
arbor-vitse hedge is just after the trees
commence to grow in the spring

Thurstan, indeed, did hesitate. feeling
that to see her again would be a severe
trial. But love, all-powerful love, would
not be denied. He went. She had so
