to get shaved.
Sometime afterward the Sultan
sent for me. In order to make my
self pleasant TO the commander of
the faithful, | 5ethoIght me l must
have a new vest. You, Bali, made
il; a fortunate needle went into my
ARM lost il and could not go. The
Sultan had planned a secret expedl-
ton to carry on war with a neigh
boring country, and l was to have
been in il. They were all taken
prisoners by the enemy, and are
now .oiIing as slaves, under harsh
masters. Bali, had it not been for
yon, what would have been my
fate Z"
"But to you, Kali, my gratitude
knows no bounds. Know that a
friend gaze a grand feast, there was
TO be merry making and dancing;
aud | was an invited guest. Think
ing my old shoes rather worn, /
ordered from you a pair Of yellow
slippers, and surely some good for
tune took me 10 you. There was .
nail in one of them, and / threw
you out of the window. / could
not attend the feast, and lucky was
it that / did not, for they danced
about so that the floor fell in and
the roof on the top of them, and
every soul was killed. Had l gone
there, it would have been an end of
me. In those days / was harsh and
hasty; but the loss of my limbs has
taught me lesson-from the want
Of them / can no longer indulge in
those bursts of passion, and am now
as docile and quiet as lamb. Thank
ful to the great prophet for the kind
ness he has shown Inc, and in order
TO do penaEce for the misery / have
caused to others, | determined on
pilgrimage to Mecca, having sworn
not to take off these rags, nor to
enjoy any of the luxuries Of this life,
before finding the three preservers
of my honor, liberty, and life.
Though clad so poorly, | have much
wealth, more than enough for us all.
Will you forgive and share with
me?"
ave have nothing to forgive"
they all answered, astonished. "Eor
carelessness and want of skill, we
throw ourselves on your mercy"
Here Ali, Kali, Bali, and Ben-Rou-
zaum turned toward the East, and
bowed nine times toward the tomb
of the great prophet, in order to
show their thanks. Just then they
deserted a cloud of dust in the dis
tance, and soon band of mounted
robbers tore over the sands toward
them. Their swift horses soon bore
them near the four travellers, for they
were eager for plunder; but seeing
four such miserable objects, all in
tatters, and all SO MANNED, and not
worth a sequin as slaves, with a
curse at them for the trouble they
had given, and laugh at them for
their sorry appearance, they pres
emily disappeared in the opposite
direction.
When they were ont of sight,
Rouzaum lifting up his hand to
Heaven, cried out, "Another mira
Gle! blessed be AllahI How for
tune favOrs US! If it had not been
for our wretched appearance, we
should have been robbed and MUIR
dered. Now, my friends, that the
robbers are gone, let us journey on
toward Mecca"
Without any accident they arriv-
ed at Mecca, kissed the holy stone
and, their devotions finished return
ed without harm to Bagdad.
Rouzaum purchased large
house, with beautiful gardens, and
here lodged Ali, Bali, and Kali.
They passed their days in the hap
piest way in the world, and had al
ways a word of comfort and a gift
of charity for the unfortunate.

Power of n Sweet Voice.

There is no power of love so hard
to get and keep as kind voice. A
kind hand is deaf and dumb. 1t
may be rough in flesh and blood,
yet do the work of soft heart, aud
do it with a soft touch. But there
is no one thing that love so much
needs as a sweet voice to tell what
it means and feels and it is hard to
get and keep i'm the right tone. One
must start in youth, aud be on the
watch night and day, at work and
at play, to get and keep voice that
shall speak at all times the thoughts
of a kind heart. But this is the
time when a sharp voice is most apt
TO be got. You often hear boys and
girls say words at play with a quick,
sharp tone, as if il were the snap of
whip. When one of them gets
veXed you will hear a voice that
sounds as if it were made up of a
snarl, a whine aud bark. Such a
voice often speaks worse than the
heart feels. 1t shows more ill-will
in the tone than i'm the words. Ii is
often in mirth that one gets a voice
or tone that is sharp, and sticks to
him through life, and stirs up ILL
will and grief, and falls like drop
of gall on the sweet joys Of home.
Such as these get a sharp home
voice, for use, and keep their best
voice for those they meet elsewhere,
just as they would keep their best
cake and pies for guests, and all the
sour food for their own board. l
would say to all boys and girls,
use your best voice at home
Watch it day BY day, as a pearl of
great price, for il will be worth
more TO you in days TO come than
the best pearl in the sea. A kind
voice is joy like a lark's song to o
hearth and home. 1t is to the heart
what light is to the eve. 1t is a
light that sings as well as shines.
Train it to sweet tones now, and it
will keep tune through life."
