The Arabs Horse.

There is q good story in the French
language about The Arabs Horse"
and the following is a translation.
Abou-El Marsch, an Arab chief, was at
tackled on the desert by band of horse
nen in the service of the Pacha of AGRA,
and Abou's men melted before the sol
diers like snow in the sun. Abou was
wounded sorely, and led captive to the
mountains of Saphadt. There the SOL
diers camped one night, binding Abou's
legs together with a leather thong and
casting him upon the ground. Abou
could find no rest. He looked up at the
stars and groaned aloud Midnight
came and still he could not sleep. He
wondered what his poor people were do
ing away in Jericho, and where the APP
pie Of his eye, the blood Of his heart, the
very nail Of his big toe, his noble horse,
indeed, had been taken by the Pacha's
men. just at that moment Abou heard
a faint neigh. That was familiar
sound. Could it be his courser? Abou
looked through the darkness and saw his
horse cautiously approaching. Abou
raised his hand. The horse bounded
forward with shrill scream, seized his
master by the leather waist-belt, and
bore him with ma sgynifcent bounds down
the mountain side. The soldiers pur-
sued, but the Arabs horse was like q
thing Of wings. For hours and hours he
galloped on, until at last he laid the I'M
conscious form of Abou at the feet Of his
tribe. Abou soon recovered, but the
noble horse expired Of fatigue. The
whole tribe bemoaned his loss, and his
name constantly is in the mouths Of the

PLUNDERING IN PRISON.

A daring robbery has been perpetrated at
Mazas prison. A theft in the very den of
the law, and certainly quite as audacious a
one as the crime of the woman who, about a
year ago, was caught stealing gas globes
from the Seventeenth Precinct Station-house
storeroom in New York.
1t is the practice of the Project of Police
to issue passes to would-be visitors to the
prison every Monday. A gentleman APP
peared at the jail on the day in question and
took out his pocketbook to find his pass. 1t
was quite en- aegle, and he passed on.
Directly behind him two women appeared.
They, too, were in proper form and were
admitted.
Shortly after the gentleman came back
He had left his pocket hook on the desk, he
said, and as it contained 600 francs, he was
not unnaturally anxious toreoover it. This,
however, was easier said than done. The
closest search failed to reveal it. An order
was then given to search every one who
passed out The consequence was that quite
Q crowd collected at the entrance. But the
wallet was not found, and the gentleman
went away disappointed.
Next morning thirteen people complained
to the police that they had had their pockets
picked while passing out of the prison,
after having been searched. The gentleman
of the wallet was really an ingenious men,
| ber of the swell moh The two women ware
bis accomplices They had turned up to be
searched and passed out as soon as he made
his complaint. Then they had stood outside
and relieved the passers out of their valua-
bles as they passed by, absorbed in a discus
sion of the mysterious robbery.

CIRCAssIAN STORY OF A KISS.

a man was walking along one road, and
a 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 a large
iron kettle on his back; in one hand he held
the legs of live chicken; in the other
cane; and he was leading o goat. They
neared dark ravine. Said the woman
81 am afraid to go through that ravine with
you; it is lonely place, and you might
overpower me and kiss me by force.n Said
the man: "How can possibly overpower
you and kiss you by force, when have this
great iron kettle Oh my back, cane in one
hand, a live chicken in the other, and am
leading this goat? I might as well be tied
hand and foot" Yes" replied the wo-
man. But if you should stick your cane
in the ground and tie your goat to it, and
turn the kettle bottom-side up and put the
chicken under it, then you might wickedly
kiss me in spite of my resistance" g Sue.

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 woman, say

a DETECTIVES RUsE.

a young man was wanted BY the police,

up" and lodging his would be captors was
SO considerable that fora long time he es-
capped detection. At length clever detec-
tive was put on his track, and first Of all he
began to inquire about his associates. One
Of the most intimate Of them was, it an
peared, certain young woman, and about
her he first Of all found out every thing. He
had reason to suspect that she was ac-
quainted with the fugitive's hiding place; SO
the first thing to be done was to follow her
on a Saturday afternoon when she was free
from her employment. An innocent Young
detective in the guise of carpenter was
told off to watch, and endeayored to strike
up an acquaintance, in which design he was
not very successful, though he ascertained
that Kingston was her destination that after
noon. To Kingston he went, and traced
her to house occupied by an old man,

elderly invalid, never went out, never went
to the door, saw nobody, and how was he to
be caught and examined? There was moth
ing known about him to justify the police in
entering the house, and the detective walked
round the place, in company with the
carpenter" wondering what to do next.
At the back of the house was garden. in

rather not containing him, for he was lying
out in the sun at the end of his chain. No
sign of life was visible in the house. Jump
over the wall and kick that dog; then hide
behind the summer-h house, !" said the detec-
tive to the carpenter" In moment the
young man was over the wall, and the dog
was bowling from the effects of kick in
the ribs. Neighboring dogs joined in the
chorus, and at the window appeared the old
gentleman. No one was about; the dog
continued to howl, and incautiously his
owner came down the garden to see what
was the matter. Beneath the well-made
gray wig the detective recognized the object
of his search, and in moment the arrest

Something About g Roots and Yarbs.z

The gathering Of roots and herbs foI
medicinal purposes gives employment to
many persons in rural districts through
out the country a Cincinnati reporter
lately 6 interviewed an old herb-col-
leotor, and the following is a portion Of
the mans account Of his business, with
therapeutical observations mterlarded I:
Yaller root, or golden seal, is worth
cents pound It is used fur maxim
washes fur sore eyes an mouth. Bur-
wane root is used in maxim ager medi-
cine; it's hard to git, and brings cents

as 8 and 4cents !; that what yer physick-
in pills is made of jist bile it down till
it gifts thick, like paste, and then roll
it into yer pills; it is also used for dye
ing purposes. Hoarhound is used In
maxim cough sirup; it brings s cents q
pound, although it is plentiful !; some
places it grows SO thick yer can NOV it
with scythe. Another herb is lobelia,
and / git 10 cents a pound fur it, butthe
price is falling. IF yer ever want to git

The Quiet Worker.

Doubtless these are skeptical days.
The ~ hearts Of many good men fail them.
They fear what may come to pass. In
H this they err. Their fears blind them.
They do not see that faith is contending
against unbelief, nor that goodness Is
working to overcome wickedness
There is an old Hebrew saying as
stimulating to those who take it into
their hearts as mountain air to the
5dweller IN the valley. It affrms that,
swhen the enemy shall come in like
food, the Spirit Of the Lord shall. lift up
a standard against him.
One Of these standards stood erect in
the city Of New York for sixteen years.
1T was Q small flag, but it Yves bravely
borne aloft IN the thickest Of the battle
against evil.
He who carried it was q policeman,
but he was Of the stuff out Of which mar
tyrs and heroes are made. His brother
policemen and the roughs knew him,
and they, half in jest and half in praise,
dubbed him with q knightly title The
Missionary Policeman. !" &. 81 .sss5
In 1862 he was a Methodist preacher
somewhere in Connecticut. Suddenly
he resigned his charge and stopped
preaching. He went to New York,
joined the police force, and was appoint
ed, at his own request, patrolman in
the vilest part Of the city.
He was no longer a preacher in the
technical sense Of that official term, but
there we're few clergymen in the me-
tropolis who preached as effectually as
he.
His congregations were made up Of
three or four children, young in years,
old in wickedness, or half dozen reck-.
less ssroughs" and more reckless women.
He won the children by his kindness.
They came to love him and heed his
words. Not rough in the district knew
him as a reverend, J" but many had
learned to revere him.
He did good to his brother policemen.
When they were in distress s'the mis-
sionary" always had q little money to
lend them. That softened their hearts,
and he dropped seed-word therein.
So he went on, day after day, doing all
the good he could, and making no fuss
about it. His plan was a simple one
the great forces of nature are very simple
in their working to do what his hand
found to do. s.i.
One day, after he had been working in
his quiet way for sixteen years, he was
walking his 'beat." Suddenly pain
smote him in the head in a few minutes
he was unconscious. Loving hands car
RED him to a hospital. There he died,
with neither wife nor child near him. II,
But was he alone? His funeral was q
plain one, but some of the few who fol-
lowed the body to the grave thought Of
that other funeral procession, when the
angels carried the body Of Lazarus to
