wings to climb, and encouraging us to
believe that II we will use what we
have God will provide a way, and II we
will employ the hand and the foot lie
will furnish the ladder. Young man,
do not wait for wings. Those angels
folded theirs to show you wings are not
necessary. Let all the people who
have hard pillows, hard for sickness or
hard for poverty or hard for persist
ence, know that hard pillow is the
landing place of angels. They seldom
descend to pillows of elder down. They
seldom build dreams In the brain OF
the one who sleeps easy.
The greatest dream of all time was
that of st. John, with his head on the
rocks of Patmos, and in that vision he
heard the seven trumpets sounded, and
saw all the pomp of heaven in process
sion cherubic, seraphic, archangelic.
The next most memorable and glorious
dream was that of John Bunyan, his
pillow the cold stone of the floor of
Bedford Jail, from which he saw the
celestial city, and SO many entering it
he cried out in his dream, II wish my
self among them"
THE DREAMS OF GENIUS.
The next most wonderful dream was
that of Washington sleeping on the
ground at Valley Forge, his head on
white pillowcase of snow, where he
saw the vision of nation enamel
pated. Columbus slept on a weaver's
pillow, but rose on the ladder let down
until he could see a new hemisphere.
Demosthenes slept on cutters pillow,
but on the ladder let down arose to see
the mighty assemblages that were to
be swayed by his oratory. Arkwright
slept on BARRIERS pillow, but went up
the ladder till he could see all England
quake with the factories he set going
Akenside slept on butchers pillow,
and took the ladder up till he saw other
generations helped by his scholarship.
John Ashworth slept on a poor mans
pillow, but took the ladder up until he
could see his prayers and exertions
bringing thousands of the destitute in
England to salvation and heaven.
Nearly all those who are today great in
merchandise, in craftsmanship, in law,
in medicine, in art, in literature, were
once at the foot of the ladder, and in
their boyhood had pillow hard as
Jacobs. They who are born at the top
of the ladder are apt to spend their
lives in coming down, while those who
are at the foot, and their head on
bowlder, if they have the right kind Of
dream, are almost sure to rise.
I notice that those angels, either in
coming down or going up on Jacobs
ladder, took it rung by rung. They
did not leap to the bottom nor jump to
the top. So you are to rise. Faith
added to faith, good deed to good
deed, industry to industry, consecra-
ton to conservation, until you reach
the top rung by rung. Gradual going
up from block of granite to pillar OF
throne.
That night at Bethel stood in front
of my tent and looked up, and the
heavens were full of ladders, first
ladder of clouds, then a ladder of
stars, and all up and down the heavens
were angels of beauty, angels of con-
ISOLATION, angels Of God, ascending and
descending. Surely God is in this
place." said Jacob, land l knew it
not" But tonight God is in this
place and l know it!

PRETTY GIRL SLAVES.
How They Are Bought and Sold In the

How They Are Bought and Sold In the
Market at Stamboul. N
There are actually at Stamboul about
ninety regular slave brokers who sell
and buy slaves, or who are the medium
Of buying or selling. The slaves are
lodged in houses known by the public.
just as they know the dealers in any
sort Of merchandise The principal
slave houses are about thirty.

count OF the delicacy Of their health.
An Abyssinian maiden from fourteen to
seventeen is worth from so to 100 liras
Ia Ira is worth about lS shillings), but
a handsome one is sure to bring 800
liras. White slaves (Tcherkes) are
more abundant. Maidens from twelve
to fifteen are quoted from 50 to 800
liras, and those from sixteen to twenty
according to beauty, size, complexion
and mplishments. Singers and
musicians generally bring a good price.
Many people here buy slaves for legal
mari! g2s, pref 'reiag thon to Turks.
The Reason Is .h.., q. slave has no rela-
tions (mother-in i..w cspecia.!y), and,
therefore, no Ylsi, tta or callers. She

was eight years old.
Rev Thomas R. Bacon, son of the
late Leonard Bacon, has become a pro-

Two autograph letters of Talleyrand
were lately sold in Paris. They we're
written to lady, the first on the death

Your devoted Talleyrand," and the sec

There is a peculiar interest as to

library. II includes collection of books
and manuscripts bequeathed to him by
his friend Landor, among them being
copies Of some of Landor's rarest works,
annotated by the author, with many
letters and papers. Prot Colvin had

KING OF THE RORES.

Pray allow me to make correction
To give credit where credit Is due
And also in this same connection
To present a great nulsaire TO YOU
think I've located with ucarirss
The worlds most ulspeaa au.e bore
And I'll name him, for briefness and clearness
The fellow who's hea, II before"
For ages, at club and at dinner
Mankind has stood ready u raj!
At the tiresone and malucroit sinner
Who recited a second hand tale
And though long he was king cf the asses,
That distinction he merits no more,
For the crown now undoubted passes
To the fellow who's "hearI 1t before"
You have seen him, this upstart conceited
You have feared him, / know, as hayeI;
Oh, what mirth has dted, still born, defeated
BY glance from his cold. 9hy eyel
Not bon mot to crack IL he able,
No story OF his starts a roar
Dead Banquo Is he at the table. 4
This fellow who's heard 1t beforeF
Perhaps you have heard quaint ditty
Which you think You Will sing at the spread
Or an anecdote spicy and witty
Has been running all dag through your head;
In the end 1t Is no Will surprising
II you never step cut on the f1oor
But instead remain seated, surmising
If that fellow has heard it before.'
How often ripple OF laughter
That has once run the length of the room
Falls suddenly calm and fiat, after
That ogre has spoken l.. doom.
No matter how much you are tickled,
He speaks, and you're merry no more;
"Oh, that story died and was picked,
I've heard it SO often before"
There he sits with hiseyebrow uplifted-
On his lip a contemptuous curl,
In no way at all is he gifted
Save in being bore ana churl.
When glance at his face desire
Comes DER me to battle in his gore,
For know that he's often q liar
When he says that he's heard it before.
Oh, give us the Ounce with the story
That was old in l3ocaccio's time,
With the jest that was weary and hoary
Ere Lucian arrived at his prime;
We will bear 1t, each man, like q stole,
Though he tell it times three and score,
But away with that nuisance heroic,
The fellow who's "heard it before ~
owe him grudge this fine fellow,
And il ever catch him alone
Twill hammer his head till it's mellow,
And will jeer at his every groan
know I'd be tried by a jury
OF men who are equally sore,
