A Friendly Father.


The stern parent, so much dreaded
by young and spOony serenaders, is
not always such ferociOus monster "a
he is generally represented. Three
young gentlemen, accompanied by
guitar, began singing sweetly under
the window of a favored one the other
evening, when dark object was seen
to issue from the corner of the house.
1t moved slowly and cautiously, and
seemed to be armed. They were too
much devoted to the art to break of in
the middle of the strain, which they
were in at the time, so they held the
fort trembling till it was finished, and
then prepared to decamp hastily.
This was interrupted, however, by
the motion of the aforesaid object, who
now being near enough to be seen more
clearly, beckoned TO them frantically,
and whispered:
''Hold on, boys; don't be frade; its
me-"
And sure enough it was him, the
father of the angel they had called to
serenade. He becSOned to the party TO
follow HIM around to the side of the
house, where he explained matters as
well as he could under the circumstan-
ces.
I've been ont little tonight" he
said, 'and I'm tryin' to get in the house
without bein' heard"

Curiosity.

Among the curiositics preserved in
the museum of the Cars country pal
lace at TSarskOe-Selo, Cars village,
10 miles from st. Petersburg, there is
one very singular relic, known as ''Or-
lofts kaya Trubotchka, (Orlotf's Trum-
pet.) 1t is large silver dish, rolled to-
gether like a sheet OF music, the legend
attached to which Is as follows: Whep
Count Gregory OrIoff, one of the innu
merable fayOrites of Catherine H., and
the leading agent in the murder of heI
husband, Peter ILL.,, presented himself
at the Winter Palace on his promotion
to the rank of Admiral of the fleet, the
hall porter, who had but newly entered
the imperial household, inquired his
name. 0rloff, whose feats of strength
had made him almost as well known in
Petersburg as tine Empress herself,
looked Indignantly at the man, and
taking up a salver from the table beside
him, twisted it mp like scroll of paper.
There" grOwled he, handing it to the
terrified lackey, "giye that to the GOsu-
darina, (Empress) and she will know
who / am" Ia later days it was a fav-
orIte enterprise with the more athletic
members of the Court to attempt the
undoing of this modern Gordian knot,
bat all their efforts were in vain.

The Girls of Cyprus.

The Cyprian damsel is curious COM
pound of fascination and oddities.
Seen at her best, on one of those innu-
merable saints days, when she does
not work beyond trickiug herself out
in fine clothes and assisting her mother
to dispense hospitality, she looks like a
masquerade heroine, whatever her sta
ton. She weaves up her hair with
gold coin, twists it, Plaits it, and con-
trives, with red and yellow handker-
chief, head-dress which looks like a
turban, but is made tOp-heavy by Being
surmounted with an embroidered muf-
fin cap and tassel. She wears baggy
pantaloons, sky-blue or pink, which de-
scend 10 the knee, the rest of the legs
and feet being bare, except when TO
honor company she dOns a pair of ba-
bOuches, in which she feels uncomfort-
able. She is generally fat, and wears 4
short jacket profusely braided. which
does not reach TO her waist; she rouges
and whitens her rcomple xiOn till it looks
like the face of wax image; she paints
her eyebrows deep black, and by some
cunning pencil touches At the corners Of
her eyes, she cOntriveS 70 make them
look twice their natural size. Then
she feels happy, and siggies when COM
plimented. She cannOC read or write,
but can sing. play gularon a trian gui-
tar, aud spin around in Il fantastic
dance which takes her breath away
and makes her cry ''hoo!" while the
stranger who watches her turns giddy
with sympathy. Nor is she without
religion; for during the long Lenten
fast and on Friday thrOught the year
she lives on bread and olives, consider
ing it a sin 10 eat anything that has
breathed fish included. She sees
less in telling fibs and discussing seam
Dial. Ii takes some time 10 familiarize
ores self with a Cyprian girl; for
something of the Mlssulman practice
of secluding women prevails among
the Greeks, and bevy of maidens will
scurry away like frightened poultry, if
a man approaches them to talk; but
when once this ShyDeSs has worn of.
the chief conversational topic of the
bashful maiden will relate to her neigh
bor's shortcomings. She will tell you
with smothered laughter things which
she has learned i'm the most surrepti-
tiouS manner, and her dark eyes will
sparkle with the fun OF the mischief
making. On working days the Cyprian
girldresse> loosely in cotton pantalOOuS
and chemise, and lets her hair fall
down her back, tying it just below the
neck with 4 string of beads. She i

ness, and races about after goats, pigs

Shut every door after you without
slamming it. Never stamp, jump or
run in the house. Never call to per-
sons upstairs or in the next room: if
you wish to speak to them go quietly to
where they are. Always speak kindly
and politely to the servants, if you
would have them do the same TO you.
When told to do or not to do thing by
either parent, never ask why you should
or should not 10 it. Tell of your own
faults, but not of those of your broth
ers or sisters. Carefully clean.the mud
and snow from your boots or shoes be-
fore entering the house. Be prompt at
every meal. Never sit down at the Ia
Bile or ir the parlor with dirty hands or
tumbled hair. Never interrupt any
conversation, but wait patiently for
your turn to speak. Never reserve
your good manners for strangers, but
be equally polite at home and abroad

Just What You Might Expect.

About two weeks ago, as the overland
train was passing Cheyenne, the atten-
ton of the passengers was attracted by
the lamentations of poor Irish immi-
grant, whose berth had been robbed
during the night and every penny OF
his scanty savings stolen, and whose
family would, therefore, arrive beggars
in a strange land. The charitable pas
sengers at once began subscription
which finally amounted to something
over $3.50. When the money had been
handed to the sufferer, pious, plau-
sible looking man dressed in black and
adorned with white crayat, drew him
aside at one Of the sleeping places and
said:
my dear man, am truly sorry for
you. Your sad case touches me deep
ly. | am myself well provided with
this worlds goods, however, and so
will give you $3.50 more. Here is a
$500 gold note. Give me the $3.50 You
have and keep the rest. May heaven
bless youi''
The poor Irishm"n did a. requested,
with many blessings on the generous
stranger, who insisted that his gift
should not be made known. When the
passengers reached this side of the bay
the pious looking philanthropist was
nowhere to be found he having evident
ly gotten of at Oakland, for reasons of
his own.
The next morning the immigrant re-
paired to bank to get his note chang
ed. The teller picked up the bill and
began narrowly examing it.
There-there is nothing wrong with
the bill, is there?" gssped the poor
fellow.
(Now the clever reader has seen all
along what was going to happen. He
has read lots of such incidents as this.
1t is the old-story. Well-we'l see
about it,
Nothing in the world is the matter
with it," said the teller quietly, and he
handed the man 80 tens.

Rising of the Nile.

Apparently the meteorological dis
turbances that are so widespread on our
side of the globe this year are severely
felt on the other side also, for the con-
tinuous rains of which the report comes
from khartoum, in Africa, and which
seem likely to fill ''Afric's sunny foun-
tains" uncomfortably full must be re-
garded as similar expression of Ma
ture's tendency to an extreme depart
ure from averages. But incessant rains
in the Soudan mean in Egypt rise in
the Nile Of from six TO ten feet beyond
its usual height, between the Goth and
30th of September; and Egypt can stand
that even less than we can stand the
sequences of meteorological derange-
ments we have seen in recent seasons.
In most countries in the world, farmers
and others dependent upon the early
and the later rains for the fertility of
the soil, and good yield of the fields
have grumbled from time immemOrial
at the machinery that Nature had thus
provided for their good, and have ca
villed that she was niggardly in one
year and abuudantly, even ruin
Ously, plentiful in another. They have
complained that the mischief caused by
a drought, was not compensated BY the
flood that came a year later, and the
millions dead from Hindostan and Chi
ma in these years, are evidences in sup
port of that opinion. All the grumb-
lers at Natures rain systems, as fonnd
in temperate countries, have been dis
posed TO wish that she had supplied the
world at large with the scheme and ap-
paratus given to Egypt. All Egypt's
rain fall in far away countries, where
it does not hurt any ones good clothes,
and comes down the river conveniently
at once "pOoling its issues" all over
Fgypt's four thousand square miles Of
arabic land, This system has a simple
and beautiful appearance, but il is IL
able to arrangements as ruinous as our
own system. Even old father Nile has
yagaries and comes down from time to
time too full, or not full enough. Less
than fair mOity of his years are good
ones. In Joseph's time the average was
apparently seven good and seven bad;
for in Pharaoh's dream There came up
out of the river seven well favored kline
