A Spoiled Man.

In Europe there is a spoild man.
He has been indulged and pamPered
to such an extent that it costs eleven
millions of dollars year to keep him
in good humor
This spoiled man is the Sultan of
Turkey. His house is defended by
thirty great guns and guard of three
thousand men, His head servant, or
grand marshal, has Il salary of one
hundred thousand dollars year.
Five secretaries are employed to save
him the trouble of writing. -Four
chief chamberlains live with him who
when they march in procession, carry
Il great bunch of KEYS on their backs
He has twenty three aids-de-camp,
all of whom are persons of much CON
.quence. This spoiled man keeps five
takers to amuse him with anecdotes
and gossip, gathered from all quarters
Of COnstantinOple by sixty spies.
Five doctors live with him to take
care of his health, and they are assist
ed by five apOthecaries. -Four Ma
hometan chaplains attend to his spir-
it ual interests. Five librarians nOur-
ish his intellect; and read the peti-
tiOns that come in.
There is an officer whose duty it
is TO go with this spoiled man when
he takes a walk in the garden. A
band of music and company of
singers and part of the spoiled mans
household. Five pianists give les
SONS to his wives and children. The
black eunuchs who wait upon the la
dies of his household are one hun
dred and twenty in number.
In the spoiled mans kitchen there
are three hundred cooks and turn
spits; ane the food prepared by them
is served by two hundred walters.
In short, the servants Of this cx-
tremely spoiled man are about four
thousand in number, very many of
whom are personages of high rank
who keep great numbers of servants
for themselves.
1t costs, as we lust said, eleven
millions of dollars Il vear to keep
house i'll this way, the most of which
is earned by the hard labor of poor
men and women; many of whom
often go hungry that this spoiled
mans servants may have money
to waste.

\ Lesson for Young Men.

Young men, if you contemplate Il
business career, you can not look after
your habits too carefully. Your aim
in life Is to be successful in all under
takings and YOU can never be success
full with bad habits. Matters which
seem Of small moment to YOU now may
become in the future the turning point
in your career, either up or down as
they have that Of any man before you.
In illustration of this, we print the fol-
lowing anccdOte, as related in one of
the most prominent New York dailies:
Horace B. Clafin, the most promi-
nent and wealthy dry goods merchant
of New York, was alone III his office
one afternoon, when young man pale
and careworn, timidly knocked and
entered. "AIr. Clafiin," said he, q
have been unable to meet certain pay
ments because parties failed to do by
me as they agreed to do, and ! would
like to have 81 900. | come to YOU
because you have been friend of my
father, and might be friend to me"
"Come in" said Claflin, ''come in

said the young man, as he was about
TO leave the room. Il thought per
haps you might-good day, sir. i"
Hold ON" said Mr.. Clafin; "you
don't drink" ''NO." ''Nor smoke,
nor gamble, nor anything Of the kind -
"No, sir"
"Well," said Mr.. Clafin, with tears
in his eyes, "you shall have the money
and three times the amount if you
wish. Your father let me have 81, ,O0C

No thanks-I owe it to you for yom

into her face and saw that she was a
stranger, but seemed quickly re-assur-
by her manner.
"You have been accidently hurt by a
fall, but will soon be well, l trust, if
you are composed and try 10 sleep.
Be content to know for the present
that you are with your friends; let
me be your mother
He could but feel that she spoke
truthfully and sank back on his pill
low wearied with exertion.
"Mother." What thrill of feel
ing passed over him at the mention of
that word. All! he was awake now,
and he turned mournfully away
as he replied &c have no moth
er now" Mrs. Norton felt that
there was new bond of sympathy
between her and her patient as
she atfectionately pressed his thin
hand; but she knew that his life
depended on his being quiet, and she
firmly, but kindly, endeavored to COM
pose him to slumber. Half an hour
later, his regular, gentle breathing
assured her that he was asleep.

recently discovered, which surpass all
freaks Of nature that have heretofore
been brought to notice. They arc two
boys, aged apparently about eight and
twelve wears respectively, and both of
the same peculiar construction. While
having the form of 4 BODY of human
being, and possessing all the activity
of the children of men on land, they
are covered all over with scaly hide
similar to that worn by the alligator,
and take to the water Just as natural
ly as that amphibiOus animal. They
walk, run and play, and have been
taught to talk. They are entirely de.
void Of hair, and their limbs are ul-
WAYS in motion whether they sleep or
wake. One peculiarity is that they
have never been known to sleep Will
their eyes shut. They will leap into
the water, warm or cold, with the
agility and seeming delight of bull
frogs, and will catch and handle snake:
with perfect delight, and the entire
absence of anything like fear.

ARTHUR O'sHAUGHNEssY.

One Of the workers of the world
Living toiled, and toiling died;
But others worked and the work went on.
And was not changed when he was gone,
4 strong arm stricken, wide sail furled;
And only few men sighed.
One of the heroes of the world
Fought to conquer then fought to fall,
And fell down slain in blood-stained mail
And over his form they slept;
His cause was lost and his banner furled,
And only woman wcpt.
One of the singers among mankind
Sang healing songs from an Ger wrought
heart;
But ere men listened the grass and wind
Were wasting the rest unsung like a wave;
And now of his fame that will ne'er
depart.
He has never heard in his grave.

A Circasslan Story Of a Kiss.

Chambers Journal,
One day man was walking along
one road, and woman along another
The roads finally united into one, and
reaching the point of junction at the
same time, they walked on together.
The man was CARRYING large iroii
kettle OH his back; in one hand he held
the legs of live chicken; i'll the other,
cane, and he was leading a goat.
They neared a dark ravine. Said the
woman: | am afraid to go through
that ravine witt yeu; it is a lonely place
and you might Overpower me and kiss
me bv force" Said the man: How
can possibly Overpower you and kiss
You by force when have this great iron
kettle Un my back, a cane in one hand,
a live chickeni in the other, and am lead
ing this goat? | might as well be tied

woman; ''but if YOU should stick your
cane in the ground and tie your goat to
1t, and turn the kettle bOttOm-side up
and put the chicken under it, then YOU
might wickedly kiss me in spite Of my
resistance" Success to thy hgenui-
ty, o woman!" said the rejoicing man
to himself. | shouldne have thought
of this or similar exPedient." And
when they came to the ravine, he stuck
his cane into the ground and tied the
goat to it, gave the chicken to the wo-
man, saying, Hold it while | cut some
grass for the goat, and then-so runs
the legend--lowering the kettle from
his shoulders, he put the fowl under it
and wickedly kissed the woman, as he
was afraid he would.

CHAPTER VIII.
THE ACCIDENT.

'''Fhe way of the wicked seduceth them"
''The end of that mirth is heavincss"
I Ihe winter months had nearly pass
ed, after season of unusual gaiety in
the city. Balls and parties had fol-
lowed each other in rapid succession,
until the votaries of pleasure were
growing weary in her service; for it is
fact, that whilst the joys Of the true
christian are bright, and ever bright
cning, all those that earth can give
will quickly surfeit the soul. Created
with capacities for higher, noblcr en-
ioyments, naught else can meet the de-
mands of our immortal natures; and
sooner or later, each one of us must
sadly acknowledge this truth.
In our larger cities, the Sabbath is
only day of recreation, time for
special worldly amusements with the
multitude. Perhaps it is not to be
wondered at, when we remember that
their vast population is composed OF
men Of every creed, or no religious
creed, gathered from every land.
Often the day is spent in hilarious
mirth at the public gardens,or parks,
by thousands people, whilst young men
engage in driving, visiting, &c, for
saking the house of their God. From
familiarity with these customs, and as.
sociations with the wicked around him,
Horace Hunter had ceased to ''Re-
member the Sabbath day TO keep it
holy" but forgetting the instructions
of his youth, gave himself up to the
same enjOvments that were eagerly
sought by his companions.
1t was on Il beautiful Sabbath after
noon, that he had accepted an invita-
ton from his partner, Mr.. Mason, to
be one of several young men to take a
drive in an elegant phaeton which he
had just purchased.
He drove a handsome span of horses
whose restive, untamed spirits, render
ed them far from safe /; but trusting tC
the skill of his driver, he had decided
to venture with them. The young
men had called at fashionable saloon
which was open even on that holy da.
and having taken a drink and sup
piled themselves with costly Havanas
