 Twice every year came greetings and let- ters from my father, Amenemhat, and twice every year sent back my answers asking If the time had come to cease from labor. And so the days of my probation sped away till grew faint and weary at heart, for be- ing now man, ay, and learned, longed to make beginning ot the life of men. And ofttimes wondered if this talk and prophe- cy of the things there were to be was but dream born of the brains of men whose wish ran before their thought. l was, in- deed, of the royal blood, that I knew; for n-y uncle, Sepa, the Priest, showed me the secret record of the descent, traced without break from father unto son, and graven Tn mystic symbols upon tablet of the stone of Syene. But of what avail was it to be royal by right when Egypt, my heritage, was slave-a slave to do the pleasure and minis ter to the luxury of the Macedonian Lagidee -ay, and when sho had been so long serf that, perchance, she had forgot how to put off the servile smile of bondage and once | more to look across the world with free dom's glorious eyess

 "Nay, my uncle" I answered. "I am
 overwhelmed, indeed, but not of the
 problem; it was light one. My heart is
 heavy within me, for am aweary of life
 within these cloistcrs, and the piled-up
 weight of knowledge crushes me. It is of
 no avail to store up force which can not be | used"
 "Ah! thou art impatient, Harmachis," he
 answered; Git is ever tho way of foolish 1 youth. Thou wouldst taste of the battle

A "ProfessiOnal" Nuisance.

Your professed wag is nuisance-a sort of man who sits watching for an oppor- tunity to twist even the most affecting piece of intelligence into a joke, and if he have not quicknes enough of hls own to perpe- trate this piece of absurdhy, he is prepared to relate an anecdote of friend of his, to whom he gives a naxle, which occurred at place which he also designates, and which, long before he has proceeded half way through it, you recognize as something your grandfather told you when he was dancing you on his knee; the result is, the wag hay ing been the only talker for ten minutes, finds himself the only laugher at the end os that period.
