He taps thrice upon the 'picce Of

a door, disclosing to my astonished eyes,
in the dark hollow, the long blue ROB,
white turban, and flowing beard of an
old Turk.
"Peacc be with you!' says the old
gentleman in deep hoarse voice, nodding
to my companion, whom he seems to
know.

Greek. "You didn't expect that. did
you, Efendi: It's not every day that

"Does he live here, them"
"To b. sure he does. Didn't you see
his slippers at the door, Nobody would
touch the slippers for any money. They
all know old Selim. He has a snug
house, after all; and don't pay rent
either"
In truth, the little place is snug
enough, and certainly holds good deal
for its size. On one side is an carthen
water-jar, on the other huge blanket
like cloak, which probably represents
Mr.. Selim's whole stock of bedding. A
copper stew pan is fixed to a spike Shen
into the wood, while just above it a small
iron funnel, neatly fitted into knot-hole
of the trunk, does duty as a chimney.
Around the sides of the hollow hang q
long pipe, a tobacco-pouch, leanhern
wallet, and some other articles, all bear
ing marks of long service; while to crown
all, my guide shows me, triumphantly,
just ousidc the door, a wooden shelf with
several pots Of fowers--a garden that
just matches the house.

SCANDAL.

A woman to the holy father went,
Confession OF sin WAS her inlent;
And so her misdemeanors, great ana small
she faithfully rehearsed them all,
And, ehiefest in her catalogue of sin,
She owned that she a tale-bearer had been,
And bore a bit OF scandal up and down,
To al the long tongued gossips in the town.
The holy fathcr for her other sin
Granted the aOsolutiOn asked of him;
But while for all The rest he pardon gave,
lie told her this oGenso was very grave,
And that 20 do dt penanee she must 10
Ou. by the wayside where the thlstes grow,
And gathering the largest, rpest one,
Scatter it, seeds, and that when this was done,
She must come back again another day
To tell him his commands she did obey.
The woman, thinking this was Penance lght,
HAstened TO 90 his will that very night,
Feeling right glad she had escaped so well.
Next day but one she went the priest TO tell;
The priest sa, still and heard her story through,
Then he said. There's something stll for you TO
10;
Those little thistles which YOU have sown,
bid YOU 60 regAther ovcry one.'
The woman said. "But father 'twould be vain
To Try 10 gather up those seeds again;
The winds have scattered them both FAR and wide
Over the mCadowcd vale aud noun tsin.side.'
The fsther answered, "Now hope that from thii
The lesson have taught you will not miss;
You cannot gather back the scattered seeds,
Which Tar and wide will grow 70 no1ious weeds
Nor can the mischef once D. scandal sown,
By any pcnancc be again undonc.'

SHE Cor EvEN.-A sanitary policeman
who was viewing back yards on Hastings
street yesterday came across a woman
who seemed to have been at some vigorous
work, being out of breath and red in the
face. He thought it his duty TO lean
over the gate and ask her if there had
been row in the house, and for answer
she beckoned him to follow her into the
back yard and there pointed to about fifty
square feet of old cans and bottles which
had been thrown over the line fence by a
neighbor.
at is burning shame, and they ought
to be arrested" exclaimed the indignant
officer.
Don't YOU arrest nobody" was hog
cool reply. These things were flung
over here last night, and for the last four
hours | have been hard at work getting
even. Look over the fence"
The officer looked. He counted two
dead cats, dead hen, an old mattress, a
bushel of old boots and shoes, fonr broken
jugs, two old coats, three hoop-skirts and
dozens of used up tin dishes, and four
tow headed children with pale faces were
waiting for further developments.-Dc-

jury forget all my points and can say
nothing, Now, l want to ask you if this
doesn't show lack of confidence in my
self and how can | overcome it y
The wise attorney shut his eyes and
studied the case for a moment, before
answering:
my young friend, if it is lack of con-
fidcncc in yourself, it will some day van

better sell out your Office effects and buy

A VERY QUEER HOUSE.

There are few pleasanter places In
summer than the great square OF Et-
Meidaun at Constantinople. The tall
gray pointed monument in the middle,
like a sentry watching over the whole
place, the white houses along either side,
the polished pavement, the high white
walls and rounded domes, and tall slen-

of the Turkish mosques make very
pretty picture indeed.
Hating to look around | suddenly espy
a pair of yellow Turkish slippers, good
deal worn, lying at the foot of huge
tree which stands alone in the midst OF

side by side; just as an orderly old gen.

fire before going out. And, stranger

footed Turks (who might think even an

growing rather monotonous, and planned
to show their sentiments. The black
smith had one day got bar of iron nicely
heated, and laid it across the iron anvil
to be cut the proper lengths. The boys,
with chiscl and sledges, were TO cut 1t
off. But no hand was raised. Hayes
asked why they did not strike One
of them replied: THAT is such nice
bar of iron; it would be pity to cut it. %
