FINDING IT OUr.-A story is told of the
daughter of prominent person in the lee
ture field, which is peculiarly interesting and
suggestive of unconscious wisdom. A gentle
man was invited to the lecturers house to tea.
Immediately on being seated at the table, the
little girl astonished the family circle and
guest by the abrupt question:
"Where is your wife ?"
Now the gentleman, having been recently
separated from the partner of his life, was
taken so completely by surprise that he stam-
mered for the truth: -.
"I don't know"
"Don't know p replied the infant terrible.
"Wby don't you know p
Finding that the child persisted in her in
terrogatories, despite the mild reproof of
her parents, he concluded to make clean
breast of the matter, and have it over at once.
So he said, with calmness which was full
of inward expletives:
"Well, we don't live together; we think, as
we can't agree, we'd better not"
He stiAed groan as the child began again,
and her parents dsrted an exasperated look
at her. But the little torment would not be
quiet until she exclaimed:
"Can't agreel Then why don't you fight
it out as pa and ma do?"
"Vengence is mine," laughingly retorted
the visitor, after pa and ma exchanged looks
ofholy horror, followed by the inevitable roar.

The pistol was discharged, the apple flew
far away, and there appeared in its place
stuck on the point of the knife, the bullet the
Marabout had marked. The spectators
though aroused to intense excitement of feel
ing, remained mute with stupefaction, while
the Marabout bowed before bis superior, say
ing
"Allah is great. I am vanquished."
Great was the triumph Of the French wiz
ard. ..~.
Houdin then called for an empty bowl,
which he kept constantly full of boiling coffee,
though but few of the Arabs would taste of
it, for they were sure that it was the devils
coGee-pot from whence it came.
He then told them that it was within his
power to deprive them of all strength, and to
restore it to them at will, and he produced in
illustration small box, 80 light that child
could lift it with the fingers.
And now came their astonshment.
This box suddenly became so heavy that
the strongest man present could not raise it,
and the Arabs, who prize physical strength
above everything, looked with terror upon the
magician, who, they doubted not, could ami
hilate them by the mere exertion of his will.
The people expressed this belief, in which
Houdin, of course, confirmed them, and
promised that at day appointed he would
convert one of them into Smoke. ...
The day came, and the throng was prodi-
gious. A fanatical Marabout had agreed to
give himself up to the French sorcerer for
the experiment
The preparations we're on agrand scale.
The Marabout was made to stand upon a
table, and was covered with a transparent
gauze. Then Houdin and another person
lifted the table by the ends, when the Arab
disappeared in profuse cloud of smoke.
The terror of the spectators was indescriba.
ble They rushed out of the place, and ran a
long distance before some of the boldest could
make ap their minds to return and look upon
the Marabout. They found him near the
spot where he had so mysteriously disappear
ed, but he could not answer their questions
he could tell them nothing at all-and only
gazed wildly at them like one bereft of his
senses He was entirely ignorant Of what
had happened to him.
This was Houdius closing exhibition in
Arabia He filled the minds of the people
with wonder, he was venerated by all, while
the pretentious Marabouts we're in utter dis.
grace Their influence was banished. He
had met these conjurers on their own ground,
and had, in most incredibly short time, COM
pletely vanquished them.

The PASSIONS THAT INDUCE DISEASE
The passions which act most severely on the
physical life are anger, fear, hatred and grief.
The other passions are comparatively innoe.
uous. What is called the passion of love, is
not injurious until it lapses into grief and
anxiety on the contrary, it sustains the phys
cal power. What is called ambition, is of
itself harmless for ambition, when it exists
purely, is nobility lifting its owner entirely
from himself into the exalted service of man
kind. 1t Injuries when it is debased by its
meaner ally, pride; or when stimulating a
man to too strenuous efforts after some great
object, it leads him to the performance of ex-
cessive mental or physical labor, and to the
consequences that follow such effort
The passion called avarice, according to
my experience, tends rather to the preserva-
ton of the body than to its deterioration. The
avaricious man, who seems to the luxurious
world to be debarring himself of all the pleas.
ures of the world, and even to be exposing
himself to the fangs of poverty, is generally
placing himself in the precise conditions fa-
vorable to long and healthy existence. By
his economy he is saving himself from all
risks incident to penury; by his caution ne is
screening himself from all the risks incident
to speculation or the attempt to amass wealth
by hazardous L-eans; by his regularity Of
hours, and perfect appropriation Of the SUM-
light in preference to artificial illumination,
be rests and works in periods that precisely
accord with the periodicity of nature; by his
abstemiousness in living be takes just enough
to live, which is precisely the rig ght thing to
do, according to the rigid natural law. Thus,
in almost every particular, he goes on his
way freer than other men from the external
causes of all the reduced diseases, and better

SLAVERY IN EGYPT.-In Cairo, the slave
dealers distribute their stock among their
agents in various quarters of the city, and
there, although the police are supposed to be
on the watch to prevent it, buying and selling
go on under the thinnest veil of concealment.
An intending purchaser goes to one of the pri.
vate but perfectly we'll known entrepos in
which the dealers and their slaves are lodged,
and, after examining the latter, selects what
suits him, haggles for a time about the price,
and finally closes the bargain then and there,
or subsequently, through a broker, who re-
ceives small commission for the job.
The dealers object to show their wares to
Europeans, unless they be introduced by q
native who is not merely q dragoman; but
with that voucher and the thin disguise Of a
fez and Stamboulee coat, sight of whatev.
er is on hand may be easily enough had.
Franks are, of course, now forbidden by their
own laws to buy or hold slaves, but the pro-
hibition is not always regarded by residents
in the native quarters of the city, where, In
deed single man cannot hire house, nor
obtain lodgings unless he have female slave.
Prices range from e10 or 912 for black boy
or girl Of as many years old, to e7O or s10O
for an Abyssinian girl offrom twelve to seven
teen or eighteen, and from $500 to 9S00, or
even $1,000, for high.class Circsssian.
Adult women slaves who have already been

cookery, needlework, or some other useful art,
balances the vice Of temper or other grave
defect, but for which they are rarely resold.
The price of males above the age of childhood

Abyssinian youths and men ranging consid-
erably above negroes. IL. EE -

LARGE MAIL CoNTRAcTs.-An new branch
of business has lately been established in
Washington, that of bidding for mail routes.
A company has been organized with plenty of
capital, which puts in bid for every mail
stage route advertised. It furnishes good
bonds, so that the government cannot lose.
The plan by which the company expects to
make its profit is this: The bids on all the
routes for the past year, or perhaps for se-
ries Of years, are carefully examined, and a
bid little lower than any of them is put in
by the company. In perhaps a majority of
the cases the bid is the lowest, and the compa-
ny gets the contract. 1t performs no service,
but sells the routes at profit to the disap-
pointed bidders.
Through local combinations, the company
now and then has to pay roundly for getting
the service performed, but generally the jeal-
ousies and rivalries of home bidders allow con-
siderable profit to the combination. It may
be that the combination has facilities, up to
the day of the formal "opening" of the bids, for
finding out what other parties have offered to
perform service for, but there is no charge of
the kind formally made as yet. Members of
the combination are in the New England and
Western States at this time, arranging for the
carrying out of contracts lately awarded.

PUT LIFE INTO Your WoRK.-A young
mans interest and duty both dictate that he
should make himself indispensable to his en-
ployers. He should be so industrious, prompt
and careful that the accident Of his temporary
absence should be noticed by his being missed.
A young man should make his employer his
friend by doing faithfully and minutely all
that is entrusted to him. 4. 1t is great mis-
take to be overnice or fastidious about work.
Pitch in readily and your willingness will be
appreciated, while the "high-toned" young
man who quibbles about what it is and what it
is not his place to do, will get the cold shoul-
der. There is story that George Washing
ton once helped roll log that one of his cor
porals would not handle, and the greatest EN-
peror of Russia worked as ship wright in
England learn the business. That is just
what you want to do. Be energetic, look and
act with alacrity; take an interest in your
employers success work as though the busi-
ness was your own, and let your employer
know that he may place absolute reliance on
your word and on your act. Be mindful /;
have your mind on your business; because it
is that which is going to help you-not those
outside attractions which some of the "boys"
are thinking about. Take pleasure in your
work; do not 90 about in listless, formal
manner, but with alacrity and cheerfulness,
and remember that while working thus for
others, you are laying the foundation Of your

quiet and sensible manner; if one retires to q
well-ventilated chamber, and keeps it. so
through the night, sound and healthy sleep
will be the natural result almost as soon as
the head touches the pillow. On the contrary,
if the evenings are spent in work or amuse-
ments that require late hours, the same excite
ment which compels that will follow one to
the bed, and fevered 6tful dreams will be the
result, from which one rises more languid and
weary than when he retired.

Another mile is quickly passed over, and
they are still riding with the wind, no chance
of escape presenting itself, and the wild horses
gaining upon them faster than ever. The

mad horde of wild horses will trample them

The horses of the fugitives soon begin to

wild shout of exultation, he leaps to the

"Tbank God, the wind has changed! We

The guide was right. The wind, which had
been steadily blowing from the west, had
suddenly changed to little east of south, and
the golden opportunity of escape, for which
he had so long prayed, was at hand, and
quickly kneeling upon the ground he prepared
to start fire. The next instant tiny jet of

shrill cries of terror, fed away to the north.

After giving their horses sufficient rest, the
