" In our village lived a Sheikh, a very
hard man, a Aluselman, an Arab, e clescen•
dant of the Prophet. He was the greatest
Sheikh for miles and milesaround. He had
a large white house, with green blunts to
the windows, while all the rest of us in
government lived in mud -built huts, round
and low like beehives. He had date palms,
very many, and doums and doura patches.
Camels were his, and buffaloes, and peses,
and cows; 'twas a very rich man—oh, so
rich and powerful. When he went forth to
town he rode on a great white mule. And
he had a barein, too; three selves of his
own, who were as beautiful as the day—so
girls who had seen them said, for, as for us,
we saw them not—plump women every one
of them as the Khedive's at Cairo, with eyes
like a gazelle's marked round with kohl, and
their nails stained red with henna. All the
world said the Sheikh was a happy num,
for he had the finest dates of the country to
eat, 'and servants and camels in plenty to
do his bidding.
"Now there was a girl in our village, a
Nasrani like, a beautiful young girl; and
het name was Leila. Her eyes were like
those of that ohild there—Zanobi—who
carries the effendi's water -gourd on her heed,
and her cheeks were roundand soft as a
grape after the inundation. I meant to wed
her; and she likedine well. In the evening
we set and talked together under the whis•
pering palm -trees. But when the time grew
near for Inc to marry her, and I had'arecsng.

from the Sheikh. Efe had Seen the girl by
the river as she Went down to drew water
with her face unveiled, and though she was
a Nusrani, she fired his 'soul, and he wish-

into his harem.

to the three strong Arabs. 'Carry him off

lay with the C,adi at Astiont.
So they took me to Assiont, into the mos -

bore witness against me. 'Those who spoke
for me pleaded: that as the Sheikh himself

The governor of the prison who was a

We heard a voice cry, 'In Allah's !lame, tet

gates opened wide and into the inner court-
yard there came with long strides a great
white male, end ou its back, scarcely able
to sit up, a sorry figure
"He was wrapped round in bandages
and swathed from head to foot like a man
sore wounded. His face was bruited and
his limbs swollen. But he upheld one hand
in solemn warning,and in a loud voice again
he cried, to the executioner, 'In Allah's
name, Hassan, let there be no execution !'
"The lookers-on to Tight and. left raised
a mighty ery and called out with one voice,
'The Sheikh! The Sheikh ! Who can
have thus disfigured bim 1'
"But the Sheikh himself came forward in
great pain, like one whose bones ache, and,
dismounting from the mule, spoke aloud to
the governor. In Allah's name,' he said,
trembling, 'let this man go; he is innocent.
I swore to him falsely, though I believed it
to be true. For, see, last night about 12
o'clock the self -sante dog who broke into my
house before entered my room with violence
thrugh the open window. Ile carried in
his hend the self-saine stick as last time and
bad his face covered, as ever, with a linen

voice he was the eery same dog that had
previously beaten me. But before I could
cry aloud tc rouse the house the infidel had
fallen upon me once more and thwacked me,
as you see, within au inch of my life and
covered me with bruises, and then bid me
take care how I accused innocent people like
Athanasio of hurting me. And after that he
jumped through theopen window and went
away once more. And I was greatly afraid,
fearing the wrath of Allah if I let this man
Athanasio be killed ia his stead, though he
is but an infidel. And I rose and saddled
my mule very early and rode straight into

"But the governor drew me a fow paces

laughing, "ht is you that have done this
thing! It is you that have assaulted him!

"'Effendi,' I made answer, bowing low,

and he would have taken my Lail°, from me.
Moreover, I swear to you, by St. George

Gnatcri RAPIDS, Mich., Nov.—A special
from Grand -Haven relates the following
very remarkable story :
In the autumn of 1839.a traveller was
making his way through Ottawa comity,
from the present site of the flourishing
city of Holland, to the mouth of Baas river.
The only road at that time was a wielding
path through dismal swamps and heavy
forests. About midway of the forest he
discovered AA old mile leaningagainsta tree.
While examining his find he else discovered
a long hunting knife, covered with blood,
lying in the leaves near by, and whet
he thought to be evidence of a struggle. He.
hastened to the nearest cabin and made
his discovery known. The gun and knife
were at once recognized as the property of
a trapper known to the pioneers by the ea.

Now comets the mast remarkable feature
of the affair. On the evening of Oct. 19,
in the year of our Lord IS91, a man about

father, boarded the Goodrich steamer "City
of Racine" at Grand Haven. They were on
their way west, the younger TWA to ace hie
blather, the father to visit hie son. Though
the old gentleman has seen over CO sum-
mers, he is well preserved for one of his
great age. A press earrespoudent aceitlente

shonr or THE MISTER.
"Over 50 years ago, 1 became involved
in difficulty with my only brother. The
trouble gtew oat of an attempt to (head° a
small farm near Boston, which we had in -
horned from our father. One night I quiet-
ly stole away from home and friends and
came west. I smiled around the lake to
Grand Haven, and in a small Ind= canoe
paddled up Grand River to the recall of
Bass River, then up that river to what was
known as the head of the bismuth. There
I built a small shanty and lived there for
several years by hunting and trapping.
When the pioaeers asked me what my name
was, I told them it was Handsome Smuggles
and I was never known to the woodsmen by
any other name. One day I went to Grand
Rapids to dispose of some f urs. I took a
steamer at the Month of Bass River, I think
it was the steamer "Paragon." In Grand
Rapt& I founds letter awaiting me from
Boston 'contp,ing the information that the
brother with whom I had foolishly quarrel-
led, was dead. I never returned to my cabin
in the forest, but tramped my way eastward,
and finally, after several weary weeks of
travel, arrived at my old home, where until
now I have remitined. I have never heard
the name of a woodsman spoken since I
left, nearly fifty years ago. .And I never
knew what became of the contents of tny
shanty."
On being asked if he remembered a young
man named Chester Holdemhe answered that
he did, and that he was a bright and intel-
ligent yonng man. When informed that his
abrupt departure had caused the hanging of
young Holden, the old man broke down and
his eyes filled with tears.
Matrimonial Intelligence,
Two New York gentlemen were discus-
sing the mother-in-law question. Said one
of them :
"There are some men who like their wife's
mother. I knowa man, a friend of mine,
who fell on his mother-in-law's. neck and
hugged her."
"How in the world did that happen ?"
" You' see, he lives near Eighty•seventh
street, and when the Hell Gate explosion
occurred he fell on her . neck and hugged
her, owing to the shock."
" Yes; it was a eery shocking affair. But,
joking aside, he .is not the only man who is
supported and kept up by his wife's mother.

The Hustler Unhastled,
How does the hustler work?
With a dash, a laugh and much talk,
He swings along in an awful rusl
And takos up most of the walk.
With a, "Hi Get out of my way 1" .
And I've got so much to do'
That I don't know where to begin by
ThenC4eh°ergsteal at it with a " Whew 1"
But watch him awhile, my friend,
And I'll bet you ten to one,
That if you catch him quite unawares,
Ilehnot such a big heap done.
When he can't show off pm see,
. The hustling he finds no Inn,
And the way the hustler look e on the sly,
Makes a snail's walk seem a run,
