After visit- Fez and. Eekilez, I thought I should like to do as Rohlfs did, and visit Waz-. ate, the Sacred City, before the rainy ails= set in.

They were wild company, and I do confess I was from the iirvt afraid of then. On the third day I had r&'asun. I had lingered eclihnd to examine a plant that looked like a cactus, when I was set upon by three of them and stripped of every- thing except shy shirt and slippers; my mile, my instruments. my money, ev- erything they event off with, and left rase lying bait senseless anii bareheaded So the sun. After a while I woke, with iia: head burning and throbbing, deter: /sailed to pursue pry" way to Wazan and Ming my robbers to punishment.

I plunged into the shade, and as I went sleeper I came upon fruit treed and up - eta melons. I tare open a melon and drank, and I ate of the delicious fruit and went on. .inti now through the trees I saw a building; I thought it was aiL'•btio, or tomb of a saint. and took off tiny slippers, as a trite believer should do on holy ground. I pressed. on and to rite•out'into the open. and then I saw that it was no boom that was before acme, but a magnificent palace—the pal- ace of the Grand Shereef, I guessed. Then, it is impossible to say wlhy, an -smmense disgust came upon lee or my wanderings. and I longed to be out of this lovely., treacherous, lying -in -wait sand; I desired wings to sly away, but E. was very weary*. and 1 only found a secluded spot to lie down and go to Weep in.

You are a Christian! You shall no longer deceive the people with your Nazareny sorcery-!' 'With that he seized me by the neck, held nay arms to his sides with his knees, and snatched a red-hot iron from his pau. I struggled and got one hand free, and the iron that was in- tended ntended for my eyes burned this hand, as you see. 1 was struggling still more when I saw a math of lute figure, and o1 pure white dress, p:Iss slowly near the palace, and I called aloud '.Abd -es -Sa- lam!

That is the name of the (,?rand Shereef, and I guess- ed the man may be he, and so I cry aloud; fur it is the law or the custom that if you see the Sultan or the Grand 'allereef and call upon his name he must consider your case." "Just so," said I. "It came all right, of course, or you wouldn't be here. Now," said I. ".Dr. Benigsen, I have always liked you, and I won't use strong language to you. especially considering you had such a sharp shave; but why She devil couldn't you get through your trouble without bothering my sister about it?"

W.itli its arrival. Charlotte, who was stili troubled at frequent intervals by the extraordinary vision, began tc improve, and to look forward with feel- ings of her own, I thought, to Septem- ber 5. There had been 110 need to ask her if Benigsen had never been in her thoughts before she had that peculiar vision; her tell-tale face when the letter was read sufficiently proclaimed that be had occupied her thoughts a good deal; still when the question was put to her, Had she not known whom her dream concerned? she protested that site had not,thaugh she .night have had more than one vague and troublesome guess. I must say I was surprised for my part at Edward's simplicity in not sus- pecting (as he appeared not to suspect)" that the ready offer of this German- ,Tewith doctor to come to our .house to explain the mystery was not so much prompted by love of science as by love of a "handmaid" more attractive to young blood. I was not disposed (any glare than I suppose Charlotte was) to blame the adventurous doctor for his leek of openness; for, first of all, love delights in subterfuge, and then there were special reasons why he should say nothing to Edward of his love (suppos- ing always he did love Charlotte; for he was not only a foreigner, but of a race with which, lie doubtless knew, old-fashioned English folks are averse to intermarriage; and, after the peon Liar revelations of Charlotte's inclina- tion to him, he might wish to assure himself by sight and speech that he was still of the sarae mind regarding lher.be- fore he should commit himself to an ex- press proposal. We were an anxious household that on September 5 awaited Benigsen's ar- rival. Edward had come home the day before, and seeing the remarkable change in Charlotte and her manifest i flutter of shame and love, fear and hope, he had looked around onus with the open looks of a discoverer, and exclaim- ed, with seamanlike frankness and ir- relevance, "Well, I'm blest!" On the with it was evident that This sudden discovery weighed upon him, and in a moment of confidence lie remarked to m` She seems to like it; I don't. I hope he won't come. I was at fool to ask him; I should have seen his drift. I don't believe he'll have any explanation to give at all, except that absurd mesmer- ism, clairvoyance, or something of that sort." Yet he set out to meet Benigsen at the station, and in due course returned, with him. Dr. Arnot was invited and 'came to hear the promised explanation in the evening. In the mean time Bealigsen had had a private conference with Charlotte, to receive from her own lips, he said, the story of her dream. • It is probable that the story had been ac- companied by something else from her lips, for upon entering the drawing - room he beckoned Edward and me aside and said he had our sister's permission to inform us that if Ile gave a rational explanation of the vision which still haunted her, and if he could banish it from her, then in two mouths she would listen to certain proposals of—of love and so forth. Did we object? he asked. No we could not object. "Did you propose the two months bar- gain?" I asked. "I did," he answered. "I thought," said I, "it did not look like an arrangement Charlotte would make." "Do you think," said he, "she would have herself proposed a longer time—a harder bargain?" "On the contrary," said I; "I think she would not herself have proposed a bargain at all." He looked at me dolefully and we turned for the explanation. '1e asked us to accompany him to a room he had been shown at his request—mother's room. "Now," said'he with a glance aside at Dr. Arnot, "I clo not deny the super- natural; I . only say' 1 ' know nothing about it. But f know a little of the natural;I think it, therefore, my duty, as a man of science, to understand and explain, if I can, anything out of the common rather by things which I do know than by things' 'which I do not know." That, thought I, sounds very clear and fair. "It is important to re- member." he continued. "that Miss Charlotte did spend a great part of every. day and night of three months in this MOM-- "Yes, room="Yes, poor girl," said. mother, "that she did." "And that on October 24 she had gone out fora long walk for the first time for many, maw. days. She was very tired when site .returned, alfa she went to Deu. Her mind tvas not weary though her body was, and the open light 01. out- " "If was a very dull day," said I. "The open light," he continued, �r. Heise yfmail'ote "stimulated the sense of sight. stirred upand made as if it were alive the stored images of the retina." (At this Dr, Arnot ooiZed up with a frown of inquiry.) "Now, place this lamp and shade where it usually stood on this table, and sit one here where Miss Charlotte usually sat; now look there that figure on the 'carpet close to the curtain where the light fall; does it not look like a dark, angry face with a black beard, and does not the bottom of the green curtain, arranged so, appear ear like a green turban upon the head." We each went to the pro er place to look, and confessed that i was very easy to see, where the light fell, a, dark face and green turban; Charlotte even, recollected—atleast said she recollected —having noticed the appearance some-. times when sitting with her mother,. "She could not help but see it," said Benigsen, triumphantly, "It is so clear. Now, my next point," said he, "is more difficult, Miss Charlotte's mother .has made the admission to me that her daughter—she supposes from waiting ' so closely on her night and day so long, and from rising up so often not more than half awake to get her sonhething-• — has frequently walked in sleep.fromone part of the room to another, or from her own room to her another's. witlhoutany- one but her mother knowing of it; that is nothing to be surprised at, for a lady does not like tohaveitknown.Weil,when site went to bed that afternoon there was.a fire in her room, although there was none when she woke up and when her brother came in; she knows there was a tire; because site remembers burning a paper�in it before she went into bed. Now, from the nature of the case, I cannot make'a demonstration, I can only present a suggestion; anti first I would Deg to ask the your lady a question: Did she not wish afterward that she had not burbled that paper?—I know not what the paper was." Charlotte blushed, and looked down : in confusion and said, "Yes," "So," continued he, ",may not she, wishing in lhersleep, have gat out of the bed and gone to the the thinking to R take back her letter from the ashes,and so have burned her wrist ou the hobar of the grate? No v, metaphysicians," said be, with another glance at Dr. Ar- not, have long noted that a dreamthat seems to involve a long train of events sometimes Occupies na more than a single moment of actual time. For in- stance, nstance, a pistol repartthat really awoke the sleeper has been known to give him au instantaneous yetapparentlydrawn- . out series of adventures,incldin a quarrel, a challenge, ana duel. TChe burn on Miss Charlotte's wrist (I sug- gest it), acting through the souse of touch upon an aching cerebellum `weary limbs, and stimulated sight, produced on the instant the storywe have heard; the coming in from a wide, sandy plain (she had been on the sands lathe after- noon), the appearance of a shining pal- ace (which thins .house may have when the sun is on it), the blow on the head the face with a greenturban, the almost ineffectual struggle of the weary limbs the hot iron to put out tire. eyes and the burn on the wrist, I would beg you to note,' continued he with a more particular inclination toward Dr. Ar- not, "as an imeertant medical diagnos- tic, that the man in the turban did not speak; I take that and the brightness and variety of the colors seen in the dream as evidence of the truth of ley suggestion that the whole mystery is due after the burn to the stimulation of deranged sight." Ile sat down. We looked at the pre- sentment of the face and the green tur- ban on the floor, and then we looked at each other. "Um m " said Dr. Arnot to us in a low tone, "it seems very plausible. The chief thing," he continued, raising his voice, "I find against your theory, Dr. Benigsen, is your own experience of the same things in actuality at the same hour, though ata great distance." ! "To that," said l3en1 sen, "I would' m I answer as afamous doctor did in a si ilar case that the fact that my advent- ures befell then instead of at some other time cannot affect thislady's case, one way or the other, any more than it tan affect the doctrine of chances." "But, hang it!" exclaimed. Edward, "if you should both have been thinking of each other at that time, wouldn't sympathy and that sort of thing—" t "Oh," interrupted Benigsen, "if you! like that explanation better, I do not 1 object." "But," said I, "how do you account for the frequent repetition of the vis- ion." " "By the fact," answered he, "that it; had happened once and had produced' a very great impression. It won't," he added with a smile, "appear again." And it did not; and in less than the two months' space our sister 'Charlotte was Frau Bemgsen. The Foolish Ants.

That there is in this something - of exaggeration, and that some women abuse their exceptional prii(ileges,: de- manding discourteously what men are ready. voluntarily to after: does not ma- terially affect the question. An American gentleman who resigns his seat to alai!), in a steamboat or tram- enr, or who wearies himself in looking after luggage, and wrestling on her account with railway porters, does not ask even tine Llutnkxs whicholiteness should be eager to proffer. His action has been disinterested, instinctive, and to satisfy his. own sense of propriety. The iiifference.in this respect between the French and American republics is curious indeed. A Frenchman will ruthlessly turn a lady into the mud of the street rather than step off the pave- ruent ihimself, or will bre""e the railway nide to induce delicate women to leave their pre -engaged carriage in order that he may not sit with his back to the engine.

Another volley followed, and then a furious chattering fire, that lasted but a minute or two. \\'awn the smoke rose. a miserable sight was re- vealed: the ground cumbered with dead and woundeii, the advancing masses stopped short and turned into a frantic moo, shouting, cursing, gestioulating. The order was given to charge. Thula over the field rose the British cheer, joined with the fierce yell of the High- land slogan. Some of the eorps posit- ed forward with the bayonet; some advanced firing. The clansmen drew their broadswords and dashed on, keen and swift as blood -hounds. At the English right, though the attacking column was broken to pieces, a fire was still kept up; chiefly, it seems by sharpshooters from the bushes and cornfields, where they had lain for an hour or more. Here Wolfe himself led tile charge, at the head of the Louisbourg grenadiers. A shot shatter- ed his wrist. He wrapped leis handker- chief about it; and kept on. Another shot struck him, and he still advanced, when a third lodged in his breast. He staggered, and sat on the ground. Lieutenant Brown, of the grenadiers, one Henderson,' a volunteer in the same companv, and a private soldier, aided by an officer of artillery who ran to join theta, carried him in their arms to the rear. He begged them to lay him down. They did so, and asked if he would have a surgeon. "There's no need," he answered; "it's all over with hoe." A moment after. one of them cried out, "They run! See how they run!" "Who run?" Wolfe de- manded, like a man roused from sleep. "The enemy, sir. Egad, they give way everywhere." "Go, one of you, to Colonel Burton," returned the . dying man: "tell him to march Webb's regiment down to Charles River, to cut off their retreat from the bridge." Thele turning on his side, he murmured, "Now, God be praised, 1 will die in peace;" and in a few moments this gal- lant soul had fled. Montcalm, still on horseback, was borne with the tide of fugitivestowards the town. As he approached the walls, a shot passed through his body.
