Like opium. it seemed to soothe the’n'e'rvcs
and take off the deadness of indolence. Our,-
dragoman once translated for us some Of
these tales. They werenot without point,
afid were thoroughly characteristic _of
Eastern life. ‘ ‘
1 Fancy the story-teller,- hemmed in by bare-
chcsled,0pen-mouthed, tux-boned listeners,
as, intoning and sea-sawing, he narrates as
follows :q - '
Once upon a time there'lived on the edge
of the desert a Sheik named Ben. Achmaf.
Now this man was a. philosopher, who,
gathering wisdom from every passing ad-
versity, as a leech culls simples, had come
at length to possess quite aboard of it. 'He
was still in the’prime of manhood. Bis rc-
nown, however, had waxed .sogmt that
even old men from the neighboring tribes-,-
distant far‘as the subbetbascs—came to sub.-

judgment. ‘ '.
One day a caravan from Meshid encamp-
ed near his'dw elling. Two Arabs, watering
their camels. at- the well, discoursed about i
the wisdom of the Rodi, of Meshid. “He can
repeat the Koran," said one, "from the Fat.
lha to the end, without dropping a point}!
“He cuts through deceits. as with s knife,"
answered the other. 1 _
Ben. Ac 0, smoking histammoon chi-
ing this, arose. .. .
“Tell me, 0 brother,” said ‘he,.“who is
this wise man thou art so eager to praise i"
“What then, thou dolt t"- replied the
Halcel Kadi, 0f Meshid f Hallah ! Even the
Father of the Faithful himself I: use. green
“Doll l’? muttered the Sheik to himself, so
called Ben Achma the Wise.” , ' i _
Next morning Ben Achms saddled his
started for Mcshid to see the-sage for him-3
self. As he journeyed, on old manmet him
in the way, who said : j. , .- _ , ‘
“My lord, I, like thyself. am traveling to,
the next town, but. I am weary. .; Pray per-‘
mil me to ride." . .' '
Ben Acbma made a sign of assent, and
the pilgrim climbed up behind. When they
had come to the gates of Meshld, the Sheik
desired his companionto'get down. .
“ Nay,“ suid‘he', “ it is for thee Io‘alight."
“.And wherefore i” asked Ben Aching-
‘ "To leave'the horse. with me." replied the
pilgrim. ' , .
“But," cried the Sheikf'flhe horse is
mine.” ‘
“I know,” anav‘vered ' the old vagabond,
“that we are now lathe city of tbejust Kadi,
and that when he shall have set eyes on us
two—thou, with thy lusly limbs and brave
looks, and me with my trembling knees and
looks, and feeble frame—he will decide in
simple equity that the horse belOngs to him
who has the most need or him." 1
"If he decide’ oOntrary to that which is
true and right." returned the Sheik-“he is
not the just Kadi thou gayest. Nevertheless
I will profit by thy evil doings to judge his
equity. Let us' plead before him.” .

The oil merchant deposed : “This rascal

ing him, drew open my drawer, from which
he clutched out a handful and Would have

“Leave the money here," said the Kadl,
"and come back tomorrow.” . -
The second case was a disagreement be-
tween‘n laborer and schoolmaster, touching
a woman, The latter affirmed that the great
hulking rascal had run away with hls wife.
The former declared that the woman had
been married to him many a year.
The Kadi said : “Leave the woman here,
and come back tomorrow,"
And now it came to the turn of Ben Ach-
ma and the astute old pilgrim.
“MyLOrd Kudi,” said the Sheik, “I was
on my. way to your city when this miscreant
came up and craved permission to ride. In
I. moment of weakness I assented, and now
he claims the horse upon the foregone con-
clusion that you will assign him to the one
who needs him most,”
The Kadl ssid: "Leave the horse, and
come back to-morrow.”
‘ So the geld was put in the coder, the
Kadi's stables. -

"You atlirm,” said the Kadi t0 the former

“Sceing,”said the Kadi, “that these two

It is impossible”.
In short, after much altercation. the over-

and all,aud sent away the peasant in‘ great .
distress. He immediately ran to the Karli,
stating his griefs ; but being due of the bar-
ber's customers, the Kadi refused to hear the
case. The wood-cutter then applied to a
higher judge ; he also patronized Ali Sakai,
and made light of the complaint. The poor
man then appealed to the Mufti himself, who,
having pondered the question, said it was
too difficult a. case for him to decide, no pro-
vision being made for it in the Koran.
The wood-cutter was not disheartened.

order to get satisfaction from the barber.
And what that was I will now relate.”
Thelwood-culter having made his obel-
sauce, returned to his ass, which was tied
without, took itby the halter and proceeded
'to his home. A féw days after he applied
to the-barber, as if nothing had happened
between them, requesting that he and a com-
panion of his from the country might be
shaved. The price at which both operations
were to be performed was settle'd. When
the wood-cutter’s crown had been properly

“He is just standing without here," said
the other, “but he shall come in.”
Accordingly he went out, and returned,
leading his ass after him by the halter.
“This is my companion,".said he, “and
you must shave him.” ,
. .“Shave him i” exclaimed the barber, in
the greatest surprise ; “It is enough that I
have condescendcd to demeun myself by

The wood-cutter immediately went to the
Caliph.
“ ’Tis well,” said the Columalyier of the
Faithful. “Bring Ali Sakai with his brushes
and razors instantly here," he carclaimcd to'
his Vizier, and in the course of ten minutes
the harbor stood befilrc him.
“Why do you refuse to shave this man's

Strange how in these Arabian stories the
mind is carried back to a schoolboy’s holi-
day fancies! You are led at once to lllt
dispute about the child before the wise king
or the subtle dealing of Joseph about the
missing cup. To disentangle the snbtleness
ofan Egyptian so as to pick out the pure
white thread of truth is no easy matter.
Hence the fame of a wise‘ magistrate is per-
petuated in tradition. Take the following
as an instance : ,
A Sheik died, leaving seventeen camels to
be divided among his three sons, the eldest
to have half, the second a third, the young-
est a ninth part. The bequest was not easy
to apportion, and they quarrcled. Taking
the case up to the Mollah he ordered the
camels to be brought before him.‘

She was a willful and wayward girl. Under

Suffice it to say, that the bride, too young -
to have a 'witness within her ofilhe proprie-
ty of being handed ov er to the rough tender-
ness of a stranger, was as 'restive as a colt,
ignorant of the halter. Duringr the first hull
of the honeymoon, Raschild’s face became
so ornamented wilh scratches that no friend
could recognize him. He gravely applied
for redress to the parents, who promised to
scOld their daughter and intercede. If they
did so it was wilhout effect. The bride-.
groom returned to his native village with a
new father and mother, and a wife whom it
was as dangerous to approach as a hedge-
hog tied within a bag. Had he been alone
with his wife, the matter might have been
smoothed at the expense of a few tears ; but
whenever be seriously remonstrated with
his wife, the old woman would rush in and
accuse the bewildered man of assassinali'ng

he applied to the Kudi of the village, who is
esteemed of gdod counsel.
“The matter IS easy, 0 Ruschid," said the

LUMBERING IN NEW BRUNSWICK—In a
forest land like this, it is unnecessary to say
that lumbering is carried on largely in the
winter. Although lire trade has deprecia-
ted much in the last few years, the people
cannot give it up ; the farmers have no other
employmen in winter. So a few words
.lbout the lumberer and his doings. He‘ is so
naturally associated with the woods, thst
any attempted description of wood life
would be incomplete without him. I have
traversed most of the woods and rivers of
New Brunswick, and have never yet found
a. place, however remote, without traces of
his industry. Like the _ tree-chopping ani-
mal of the country—the beaver—he leaves
his mark behind him. With the first fall
of snow he hies into the woods, and remains
there till spring: then he takes his logs
down the rivers, and for a brief period the
towns are inundated with these sailors of
the woods. They go in gangs of from six
or eight men up to twenty. ' They build log
camps for themselves and their hor‘ses, and
make their own roads. Each camp» has L
main or “portage road," in which provisions
are portaged sometimes from as great a.
listance as twenty or thirty miles, and this
gives full employment to one team when
the gang is large. They breakfast in the
woods before daybreak,dine about ten or
sieven, have a bite at two or three o’clock,
supper at six, and a “lunch" before they
turn in—not bad living. And at any hour
of the day or night that a stranger happens
[0 visit them, on go the kettle and flying-
pan, and he is treated to the best they can
give him ; for their hospitality isnuboundsd,
sometimes embarrassing. Once or twice
traveling in the lumber woods, I have had
occasion to call in at eight or ten camps in
the course of the day, and at every one' of
them I have been actually compclled to
partake ofa dinner, a. luncheon, or a bite.
In a camp of twenty men the division of
labor is as follows :-The boss; the cook—
who has no sinecure; the teamsler and the
teamsterls assistant—the latler functionary
is somelimes called “the teamster's devil,',
and their joint work is to lend their team'
and haul logs from the stump to the river
bank ; five broad-ax men, who square the
logs; the head swampcr—z’ 0., road-maker—
lnd five or six assistants; and four _or five
.‘ellcrs of trees. Their wages vary from $25
lo $15 a month, with food; the cook, team-
ster, and broad-ax men receiving the highest
rates. Their wages, when looked into, "are
not so high as t ey might appeal- on paper.
for it frequently happens that they only
receive a certain portion in cash, the bal-
ance being made up in goods, clothes, etc,
at high prices’ from the stores of their em‘
players. The horses are hard-worked
having often to haul the logs a distance of.
four or_fi-ve miles: they are fed mainly on
oats, hay being expensive to portage, and
they do not last very long in the lumber
woods. The woods lumbered are the pine
and the spruce; the former is in the greatest
request, and the best of it has been picked
out. Flour, pork, tea and molasses form
the staple of the lumbermun’s diet.
The lumberer’s Sunday dish is a “Bang-
Billy,” by no means an unpalatable morsel.
let me observe, but the havoc it must make
with the digestive organs of ordinary peo-
ple is terrible to contemplate. Its solo in-
gredients are flour, fat pork, and molasses.
As for tea, no one in the woods ever thinks
when real tea is not to be got,,spmce, rasp-
berry bushes, Labrador plant, tea plant
anything in fact, is used as a substitute; but
hot brownish-colored water is a sine qua'
now—Once a Week.

A YOUNG lady of Massachusetts, who was
an ardent admirer of Wendell-Phillips, and
a. firm advocate of Prohibition, when riding
from her father's country-seat to a neighbor-
ing village, met a young man on foot, who
was carryirig a suspicious looking jug.
She at once reined her horse, and asked him
what was in hisjug? .
Looking up with a comical leer, he silh-
ply winked one eye and smacked his lips,
to indicate that it contained something
good. ' '
The young lady, supposing he meant
alcohol, immediately began to talk temper-
ance, but her auditor requested the privi-
lege of first asking her a. question.
“ What is it 5‘” she inquired.
“ It is this," he replied; -“why is my jug
like your siole~saddle '2"
She could not tell.
“ It is because it holds a GAL-Oil," said
he. ‘
“What'lrifiing i” exclaimed the indignant
man, do you no: perceive—f
“ Just one more question,” interrupted
her auditor, “and then I’m done. Why is
my jug also like the assemblv room of ‘1.

“ I'm sure I clout know,” pctnlanlly rcpli- »
ed the young lady. ' .
“ Well, it is'because itfs full 0’ 'ums,"
said the incorrigible auditor. '
The fair leclurer touched her spirited
horse with the whip, and was soon out of
hearing oflhe rude young man.‘
