dreamless sleep Of the dead. Sher-
man and johnson alone remain of the
great commanders who locked horns
with each other in the flame Of bat

war, and they are the only two great
commanders who are left to cit down

the heroic Army Of the Potomac none
remain, with the single exception Of

How THE Turks FAsT.--Turkish
ingenuity has circumyepted the ter
rible month Ramadan. the Mohamme-
dan fast. For thirty days, between
sunrise and sunset, no good Mussul-
man allows a mouthfnl Of food or
drink to pass his lips. But, then,
says q Constantinople letter. it does
not discommode the Turk at all, for
during that time he is asleep. He
simply reverses the order Of things,
and sleeps daytimes instead Of nights.
There is no law against his eating at
night. He rises from his couch at
sunset and takes his breakfast before
going TO the mosque 10 pray. Az
midnight be has dinner, and partakes
Of supper just before sunrise in the
morning, when he again retires to
bed. The night not being good for
work, he gives his waking hours TO
pleasure, and the month, from sunset
10 sunrise, becomes vast carnival In
all countries under Mohammedan
rule.--FYaak Leslie.

A GOOD INVESTMENT.

The yellow haze ofmidsummer hung
its radiant pennons over the velvet
slopes of the Fairhayen farm, the riv-
er. murmuring softly over its pebbly
bottom, flashed up like sheet of sill
yer, and the purple fields Of clover
nodding ready for the scythe, filed
the warm air with sweet, slumberous
scents.
Fine weather for hayin'," said Ella

"Tain't no haydn hand" said Miss

steps to meet slender child Of nine
years old, who was leading pale,
bowed down man, who walked with
difficulty, leaning on crntch.

gan the child, while the man, as If

leaned up against the fence, pressing
his hands on his forehead, "but--'
"Then clear out and be done with

with logged composure.

at her brother.

Slowly and YEARLY the too poor
travellers turned and plodded- their
way adown the broad, dusty road, the
Ianguid footsteps Of the invalid scarce
keeping up with the tripping pace Of
the child.

Comfort, with a sigh. but there's

Give me the address, shan't give up

Yet, in spite Of all her philosophy,
Miss Comforts heart, like that Of the

through her mind, the door swung

lady with golden brown hair looped
after the fashionable style over her
brow, and deep blue eyes.
Miss Comfort rose and dropped a
stiff little courtesy.

to her amazement the rest Of her
speech was abruptly checked by the
young lady's arms being thrown round
her neck.
