on her eighteenth birthday, handsome
wa cb, which he had purchased from q
ieweler with whom he was on friendly
terms. One night the girl forgot to
wind it, and in the morning the hands
and wheels were motionless. She took
it for granted that she had used the
watch carelessly, and that something
was broken inside. She did not like to
say any thing to her father about it, but,
going to a Fulton-street jeweler the
next day, asked him tolook at the watch
and see what was the matter with it.
The jeweler took it, put a magnifying
glass before his eye, opened the case,
touched the wheels with pick, and re-
marked that it needed cleaning, as it
was very dirty. IN ing hiring the cost

took the watch to New York in the
morning, and in the course OF the day
stepped lntp his friends store where he
bought it, and asked him to look at it
and see why it had stopped. His friend
after looking at it moment, took up
the key. and winding it up handed it

Avoid sehool-kesping. Keep out of the pulpit. Let alone all ships, stores, shops. aud merchandise. Abhor politics. Keep away from lawyers. Don't practice med iclne.

It was 6 genuine piece of old Turkish conserya.. n. The name of the new "Kislar Agassi," or head .eunuch, is Stasis Behram Aga. The Turkish journals give long des ,riptions oi the iupction, and publish odes and cLronoGrams in honor of the hero and of the great event The poets expect to gain something in return for their amaz- ing adultation. The new dignitary holds very lofty and influential position in the system of the Por c; only three persons stand higher than the head eunuch-namely, the sultan himself, she grand vizier and the sheik-ul-islam; but he, from his position. frequently exer- cises . more direct influence upon the sultan, and SO upon Turkish politics, than either of the other two eminent officials. The new "Kislar Agassi !" was received at the imperial palace of Doimabag gdsche with tie most gorgeous pomp. All the sentines of the imperial barem. armed with hellebards, formed Q spalier, and !" His Excellency, Behram Aga, chief of the Eunuchs," rode past on a magnificent charger, the orders of the Osmanie and Medschidje glittering on his breast, followed by Ahmed Bey and n number oi the adjutants of the sultan. When he arrived at the gate of the palace. lambs were slaughtered before him as a token of welcome He was re- ceived with the greatest awe by the religious and domestic servants of the imperial household, including the most reverend the imaum of the palace and several distinguished mollahs- perhaps chaplains in ordinary to his Ottoman majesty. The sultan sent across to his new official two symbols of office, g written document and a magnificent SIver pastoral staff worked in relief, which is never handled by any but the Agas of the imperial harem. The new head eunuch solemnly kissed the parch- upent and the staff. The i'm. rial ''hatt' was read, some prayers for the blessing Of Islam upon the new pastor of the sultan's women were said by the clergy, snd then the new Aga of the Sublime House of Blessedness," as the sultan's

 We sue msn, day by day. going his shop. io uo wise differing from his fvl- lows but. one day. he receives from the President A commission as Envoy to the Court of St. James. Among those with whom he has lived he Is still much as he was but to the men 10 phom hs is sent how different When he reaches their shores, while the luggage of his fellow passen- gers Is strictly examined by the customs officers. no hand Is laid upon his.
 His person is everywhere sacred; his house a sanctuary.
 In presence of the sovereign he takes precedence of every noble and every pre- late.
 For why, He stands in his sovereign's stead he represents the majesty of a na- tion.
 An insult @ him thrills the hearts of flf- ty millions of his people as R personal and national outrage; If not swiftly ntonsd they tktOW down the gage of bat lie.
 And do these men, these Reetors, " represent no One in our eyes?
 To very many the laying on of hands brings them within the continuous line of those who received their commission from Him who, on the very eve of His ascension, said. "Go ye iuto all the world and preach the Gospel" " And be- hold am with you always. even to tic end of the world"
 The apostle who. of all others, reck cd less of himself; who was meekest and lowlisst--" all things to all men, that he might gain some "--who was imprisoned, scourged. tortured, still proclaims him self "The Ambassador of Christ"
 And are there not times and eircum- stances when we, too, admit that these men represent Presence and Power not of the earth ?
 Young mon and maidens" come to him, in their happy wedding hour. and ask the sanction and blessing of Him who created the woman for the man, and by whom the rite was instituted.
 To him we bring our children, that they may he "signed with the sign of the cross" and become, henceiorth, it's en- listed soldiers.
 And in darker hour, when "the silver cord is loo9ed and the golden bowl is broken" when we go to bury our dead out of our sight" he it is who tells us That which thou sowest is not quick ensd unless it die;" who lifts our troubled hearts from new-dug graves to pearly gates and streets of gold and softly tells of harps, and song and crown and that our right to our starry home was only earned by the sepulchre and the cross
 He Is tho ambassador of the Crucifieo One.
 Let us remember this, and we will con tribute to our self respect if we. at al times, magnify his office." JUSIUs.
