An

An English clergyman. rather pom
pous of manner, was fond of chatting
with a witty chimney-sweep.
Once, when the minister returned
from his summer holidays. he hap
pened to meet his youthful acquaint-
ance. who seemed to have been at
work.
"Where have you been?" asked the
clergyman.
Sweeping the chimneys at the vic
arage." was the boys answer.
How many chimneys are there. and
how much do you get for each?' was
the next question.
The sweep said there were 20 CHM
neys. and hat be vas paid a shilling
apiece.
The clergyman. after thinking a
moment. looked at the sweep in ap-
parent establishment. You have
earned a great deal of money in a lit
tie time" he remarked. solemnly,
wondering, probably, what the sooty
fellow would reply.
YES" said the sweep, throwing his
bag over his shoulder as he started
away. 1--WE who wear black coats get

She cheered him when the days were drear

She taught him things from books that he

She got MIN to avoid the use of words that
were uncouth;
She took her jewel in the rough, she pol

AND with n woman's patience ground the
worthless parts away.
She turned him from 4 stupid clown to one
whose mien was proud,
She planted in his heart the wish to rise
above the crowd:
She planned the things he undertook, she
urged him on to try.
She gave him confidence to look for SPLEEN

She bore the children that he loved, and
toiled for them and him.
And often knelt beside her bed with ching

She cheered him VIXEN the days were dark,
and when the skies were bright
She saw him rise above the crowd and
reach a noble height:
Her brow Is marred by many a line. she's
bent and wan and old.
He has a bearing that is fine, a form of
noble mold.
And people say: Poor man. alas, He's
grown beyond his wife;
How sad that such a load should be at

On the lower floors the clocks are set
correctly, but on the upper floors they
are a few minutes slow. so hat the en-

upper floors do not leave their desks

B A IN THE SOUDAN.
The Famous Pasha Permitted to Re.
turn to khnrt0um Aftrr
Many Years.

For about 20 years Zebahr Pasha has
been Il prisoner in the hands of the
Egyptians or British. part of the time
ut Cairo and for some years at Glib
raltar. He was once the most powerful
native in the Egyptian SoudanNnd last
month he was permitted to return to
his old home. The British commander
at Khartoum received the aged man
with much honor and the reception
given at the palace was largely at
tended.
Many years ago Zebahr was a
wealthy slave dealer and trader. He
had immense slave depots in the prov
ince of Bahr-el-Ghazal. and maintained
large bands of armed men who went
on his slave-catching raids. Finally
Zebahr took it into his head to help
Ismail Pasha. the Egyptian governor
of Khartoum. to conquer the large
countries of Darfour and Oar Fertit;
and it was with the powerful assist
ance of this slave dealer hat Egypt
added these territories to her posses
sion in the Soudan. To recompense
Zebahr for his valuable aid Egypt made
him mudir of the Chekka province,
with the rank of hey, and later he was
promoted to a pashaship.
So Zebahr went down the Nile to
Cairo to be invested with his new title,
leaving the government of his prov
ince in the hands of his son. Suleiman.
This young man. intoxicated by the
power he now welded and incensed
by orders from Khartoum to cease
raiding for slaves. allied himself with
the dethroned sultan of Darfour and
attacked the Egyptian posts. Gessi
Pasha captured Suleiman after a short
campaign and put him to death. There
was no proof that Zebahr had anything
to do with his sons revolt and he had
gone to Cairo to receive further honors.
his sons treachery. languished for
many years in prison, and has not been
permitted to return. till now, to his
cd home.
When Gen. Gordon went to Khar-
toum on his futile and tragical mis-
siOu " diidt II pOSSiofC. Nv liSiuS "dNS
of Mahdism, he asked that Zebahr be
permitted to go with him on account
of the wonderful influence he pos
sessed owe the people of the Soudan.
But Mr.. Gladstone would not trust the
old slave dealer and refused to let
him go.
Sixteen years have passed since
Gladstone decided that Zebahr must
remain in prison. The old man is in
favor with the present government of
Great Britain. and so has been permit
ted to go home. In his speech at the
reception at Khartoum, Zebahr, ac-
cording to the dispatch TO the London
Times. .'eulogized the present govern
menta and paid a tribute to England"
The same dispatch says: Though n
very old man. Zebahr can still do good
service. and the great influence that
ne has over the country between Ber-
Der and Khartoum will be on the side
of the government. OF course there
is not the slightest fear that the slave
trade will receive any impetus from his
arrival"
