A Man Who Was in Earnest.

Seventy-five years ago there wa q
poor clerk, living at Landport, in Eng
land. He had q wife and two children;
the second was the boy Charles, and as
soon as he was old enough he had to do
something for his own support. Al
though he had an ordinary day-school
education as a little boy, yet at 10
years Of age he was obliged to go to
work in the employ Of a London black
ing mandatory, FASTING labels on pots
Of backing: because his father had
become bankrupt and was imprisoned
for debt. The family had become
larger now, and little Charles had q
hard time, and was about as poor and
wretched a little boy as you would care
to hear about. But after q while his
father had o little money left him
enough to get out of prison and take a
position as reporter on a p~aper-and he
then apprenticed Charles to a lawyer,
with whom the boy served long enough
to learn something of the hooks and
crooks of the profession; but there was
another kind of hooks and crooks that
he longed to become familiar with: He
wanted to become a reporter, like his
father; so he bought a book on stenog-
raphy, and by hard, persistent study
fitted himself to be q reporter. He
then managed to get a position on a
newspaper, where his work was SO
careful and accurate that he got ahead
very fast.
Then, after all this hard work in q
practical direction, he ventured to blow
on the spark of genius which he believed
burned inside of him: That is, he wrote
some short sketches Of English life.
He was delighted to have them accepted
and printed in a magazine. under the
signature of "Boz." These sketches
attracted some attention, though they
gave small evidence of his wonderful
talent. But the young man knew this
talent must be developed by hard work,
and that he was not afraid of. Each
successive thing he wrote was better
and better; and when he wrote "Pick-
wick Papers" he set the whole English
speaking world a-laughing, and his
reputation and fortune were made.
Still he kept hard at work trying to
improve his style, until his writing be.
came a part Of the most remarkable in
the language, and in the opinion OF
some critics his mastery of English is
next only to Shakespeare's. This won.
derful young man is remembered to-day
as Charles Dickens. Speaking of his
W career, he says: II will only add,
to what I have already written of my
perseverance at this time of my life, l
know this to be the source of my sue
cess. Some happy talent, and some
fortunate opportunity, may form the
two sides of the ladder on which some
men mount, but the rounds of that lad
der must be made of stuff to stand wear
and tear and there is no substitute for
thoroughgoing, ardent and sincere earn
estness. / never could have done
what I have without habits of punctu-
ality, order and diligence-without the
determination to concentrate myself on
one object at q time. Whatever / have
tried to do in my life / have tried with
all my heart to do we'll; whatever I
have devoted myself to I have devoted
myself to completely. In great aims
and small, 1 have always been thor
oughly in earnest. Treasure TrOre.

Slave Markets In Morocco.

In the interior there are slave
markets everywhere, writes a corre-
spondent of the London NeUs from
Morocco. The traders take care to
feed their slaves well before Offering
them for sale. The buyers examine the
slaves limbs, eyes and mouth; they
make him run and see what weight he
can carry, just as if he were an animal.
Ii the slave is q woman between Is and
% years of age, the examination takes
more time and is much more humili-
ating. Those who have already had
children are naturally preferred, and
fetch as high as 125 to $50 francs. Vir-
gins are eagerly sought after at prices
ranging from 900 to 800 francs. This
sum is a large one for Morocco, but to
obtain it the slave-traders do not care
what humiliations these poor girls of
from 8 to IA have to endure in presence
of buyers, and often before the notaries
or the judge. To form an idea of this
disgraceful traffic Cat the gates of
Europe) you have only to attend any
OF the fairs and see how farmers and
butchers examine horses and cattle.
Negro boys from 8 to 10 years of age
attract still more attention. Those
from Foulahs and Bambara, near
Timbuctoo, are always preferred, and
bring generally from $50 to $50 francs.
The caravans generally take forty-five
days to perform the journey from Tim
buctoo to Souss, the frontier of Morocco.
They are frequently attacked on the
way by independent tribes, who carry
off negroes as well as the articles bar
tered-say ostrich feathers, gold dust
and ivory. The nre got up
annually, in December, at Fee, Morocco,
and Elegue Tin the Souss country by
Morocco merchants (Tadjers), who are
noted slave-traders. These caravans
60 to Timbuctoo, where negroes are
purchased in exchange for cotton and
other goods, and they return to Morocco,
the slaves being chained together by
the neck, half of them often p~erishing
on the way from hunger, thirst, fatigue,
and bad treatment. The boys and
young girls, being Of most value, are
placed OF. the camels and are better
cared for. The "amoogheer." OF great
slave fair, is held half-yearly at q large
town seven d~aysjoarney south Of Mo
gador. At this fair from two to five
thousand slaves are sold or exchanged,
and as q heavy tax is levied on all sales
it yields a large revenue to the sheitch
OF that district, as we'll as to his
shereefian majesty, the sultan. At the
fondouks, or slave markets, where
slaves are sold, the most distressing
scenes are constantly witnessed Of chill
dred being torn from their mothers
and wives separated from their husbands,
their cries and protests finding nc echo
in the inhuman hearts Of either their
sellers or purchasers.
