J • # ab*U Dever be able to oil tbii girl my owe. and have I091 a noble heart." It had become dark while we talked, tboagh we bad not coliced it. It had seemed to me that I heard wheels halt be- fore the hoase and etepe in the anteroom. Then all waa still again. My friend waa JQBt going to hia writing. table to fetch a light, when the door dew open and a dood of light streamed into the room. Was it a fairy scene that met my eyes, did oar excited fantasies deoeive as, or were we dreaming with eyes wide open ? In the open doorway, carrying in her hand a little Christmas tree, ornamented with burning randies, stood Tenzile ; in the other hand ahe held a letter. I sprang to my feet, and Dr. Franzeen stood as thongh transfixed, with staring eyes, pale and trembling, with his hands raised as though to ward off an apparition. At tbij moment an elderly woman, whom I recognized as the hoasekeeper of Mrs. Carlson, stepped from bebind the girt, took from her the letter, and with the words, " From my mistress, for the Herr Doctor," laid it in Franzeen's hand. He looked at the letter, and opened it as if in a dream. For a long lime he read, nor seemed to know what be was reading. Again siad again he read. Bis pale face took on some color, the light returned to his eyes, and sinking into a chair he wept aland. The beantiful girl looked with af right at this singalar man, and trembled percep- tibly. I did not deem it an indis':retion to pick ap and read the letter. It was from Mrs. Carlson. arms. At last aha opened her eyes wide, looked deeply and gravely into his, slowly pat her arm^ about his neck and pressed her lips to his. In far-away Turkey there was a, " Merry Christmas."

While I was reading the letter Dr. Fran- zeen had risen and now stood calmly before the beaacifal slave. " Yoa know what is contained in this letter ? ' he qaietly asked. " Ves," answered the girl, wilhoat rais- ing her eyes, bat with blushes saSasing her cheeks. " Yoa are satisfied with the destination the Earopean lady has in v.ew for you ? ' 'â-  My duty is to obey, ' Xenzile answered tremblingly. " Do you follow duty's call in this case with love â€" with your heart ."' Dr. Fran- zeea i^aestioned further. Tenzile raised her eyes to his for a moment, fully and calmly, and said : â- ' Why should I not ? 1 shall be to you a faithful servant." •â-  Not strvant my wife you are to be. Know you that ? ' " It has been told me," oame from her tall, tine li[<s. â- ' And does not your heart leap with joy at the thought ? ' .[uesticned Dr. Frauzeen ; " do you not feel a namdesa happiness be- cause of this ? ' " I am rejoiced," said the girl. " And if you had to belong to another man, would that mak^' yoa anhappy "' the young physician continued, sluwly. â- ' Then I would serve him, as it is my duty to do." •• Gladly .'" " \ci, Sir." •• Then you would not be anhapdy :t yoa o-ould not belong to me ? ' Tenzile smiled. " I would gladly see in you my future lord." •• Vou would not, however, feel unhappy, disconsolate, e.td, if yoa could not belong to me ?" persevered the young man. " No," said Teu/.ile with the same smile. The conversation bad been carrievi on in the Turkish language. My friend luw turned to me. •• The dream is over," he said : " I thought myself beloved. The girl belongs to another world than the one in which we live. f;be is a beautiful image, a beautiful plaything, but no wife for a Christian. Even if tbe letter and the mode of action of Mrs. Carlson bad not already opened my eyes to a revelation, what nobility there may be in a woman, what she may be capable of. the parity of her love, the last few moments have torn from my e)es the veil that pas- sion and iutoiicatiou of the senses wove over them. I go to throw myself at the feet of that woman, and to beg her forgive ness. This is the second time she baa proved my saviour." " Joaepha," he continued, addressing the elderly companion of the girl, "do yoa go bacK to your mistress, conduct this pretty child to her, and tell her that I shall be with her lu a few minutes to express my thanks." Smiling sweetly, Ten.'.ile took her leave and disappeared with the houaekeeper. Darkneaa again fell upon tbe room. 'â-  Vou will excuse mo ?" asked Dr. Fran- zee h . "1 shall attempt to obtain forgive- ness," he a<lded simply- " i know that you will find it." We parted with a long presaore of the bauds that said more than words could have expressed, and I returned to my loilgings. I might have been at home an hoar when I heard a waggon stop before the house, and in a few minutes Mrs. Carlson's little, grav headed .\mericaa sorvtnt stood before me With au invitation to come to the villa as .(uickly as possible, and to make aso of the carriage she had sent. 1 ran down to the carnage in saoh haste that the old fellow oould scarcely keep up with me. Stepping into the drawing-room I found Mrs. Carlson and Dr. Frauzeen standing, hand in hand, with that bliss shining from their eyes that only such momenta can bring forth ; bliss such as probably no human twain experience a second time in this life. Ou a side table stood the Christ- mas tree that Tenzile had borne. The young girl bad already returned to her torm«r mistress. Uow the reconciliation took place I never had a precise aoooant. Dr. Franzeen merely hinted that he had said about the same thing to her that he had in his room t<.> meâ€" for that waa all that at the moment he could think of. When he stepped into the lady's room andexolaimed, " Iforgive me, forgive me !

An extensive female slave trade is still carried on in Constantinople, in spite of the consuls of the Christian powers. Hardly a week passes without the arrival of a white- haired coarier, between 60 and 70 years old, accompanied by a convoy of young girls, mostly from poor families in Gaiicia, whom he has induced to come with him to the Turkish capital, under the promise of a "aplendid" situation ora " rich marriage." The Austrian consolar officials, as well aa those of other Powers, have kept a wakeful eye upon this old scoundrel, and stopped him from landing his "wares" in Con- stantinople itself. It is now discovert d that he takes them to a spot where they are oat of reach of Earopean law, Eawak, the Turkish qaarantine station on the Bosphorus. Here they are unshipped, and sent ultimately to Constantinople by the land route to Bnjukdere. Here not a soal is troubled aboat their deplorable fate, and their redemption from the horrors pre- pared for them is only possible through energetic foreign help. The " proprietor " takes them to a certain bourse, called the Casino, where hia living wares are dealt with exactly as if they were dead matter or shares. The price for the " coarser wares," as they are brutally described, varies from $150 to $300. The price of the 'nner wares " is higher, reaching the level some- times of 51,'JOO. They are bought for customers in Smyrna, .Alexandria, Cairo and other places under Mohammedan rale. The "brokers" attempt to conceal the natare of their trade by deceptive advices ; for instance, "expect three dozen silver spoons" ivvfaich is technical for the " liner wares ; " or • we send live vessels of meal " I a medium laalityj or " ei;iht sacks of potatoes " <ibe coarsest jnalits 1.

Hr«. Lanxtry'a Toilet S«t. I'robably the most uniiiue set of silver in this country belongs to Mrs. Langtry ; it numbers over '-'00 pieces, not one of whuh is modern, except the beautiful \ enettan mirror, which is framed in silver lilies, and shows the monogram of the Lily herself just on top. Silver brushes that the Vene- tian ladies of old used for their golden locks are now in tbe possession of this latterday beauty. Then there are carious boxes in which tbe old Hollanders kepi their iiuest tobacco, and that now holds hairpins or any of the little knick knacks of a woman's toilet. Mirrors carved by famous silver- smiths of long ago, and that redecis the faces of other happy and beautital women, and jars in which they kept the powder that made their hair white, or tbe rouge that made their cheeks pink. Silver dasks that held the veritable a<iua-to£fana. now bottle very innocent drugs, and great per- fume jugs that once knew mysterious Oriental sweets are now overflowing with wood violet. The silver tops to the cut- glass bottles were in the long ago the cases of watches , in those days the covering was elaborately carved in scenes of ths chase, and the watch was a source of great pride to its owner. The candlesticks once lighted the way to a bridal lu Ireland, or stood at the head of a, coffin, and the great silver holder 80 elaborately carved, and in which rests a big blue pincushion, was once broaght on the table with a wooden bowl in it, in which were smoking hot those strange new vegetables imported from Vir- ginia to Ireland and known as potatoes.

When I waa a small boy, my father said : " Remember, never to carry apples or pota- toes in bags or sacks, if yoa do not want them braised." I have always remembered this very importstnt advice. After I became a man and began to understand the reason and philosophy ol the wise caution, 1 per- ceived that when a bag is tilled with apples and thsy are lifted and tumbled about, as bags of salt and grain are handled, a large portion of the apples will be bruised, for the reason that tne sides ot the bag ithe bag itself) and the weight of the apples will operate with a leverage by way of braising a few apples on one side, and then on the other, until many of the apples will 'oe badly braised. Ihen, when a bagful of apples may be stood on one end, almost the entire weight ot the packet will rest on a few apples at the bottom, tbe sides of which will be bruised or crashed m, to the great damage of the fmit. If we ill a bag with eggs and oats (as eggs are usually packed in abarrell and attempt to handle the packet, i: will be perceived at once that too much pressure will crush eggs in many parts of 'he package. Eggs are not shipp»i to mar'itat in sacks, for ilie simple reason that a bag or thickness of canvas 13 not su±icient to protect the egus from injury. For the same reason, fruit and potatoes cannot be transported in sacks without bemg damaged more or less. swe«t potatoes are frequenily transported in sacks, when they gel so badly bruised that they decay. Then buyers wonder what can make their sweet potatoes decay so soon. Importers ot valuable crockery often sustain great losses in oonaeiiaence of hav. ing it packed in large and limber crates made ot small trees and branches of trees. When a crate of crockery is hoisted from a ship it bends and twists and yields in many ways, thus operating on much of the con- tents with a powerful leverage, sufficient to break and ruin half the oontents of the package. If the crate is stiff, like a strong box or hogshead, very few pieces will be broken. Thus it is with frait. It apples, or pears, or sweet potatoes are well packed m a strong barrel or box. they will escape all that damage which will inevitably en- sue when such commodities are transported in bags.â€".'.'. S. I'odd m C.'urury Gftit'.tnun. \fe*d (.)at the >t<M.-k. The .{iwicnn Ajrtcj'.'.urii'.ii: says; "Now is the time to gel rid of the poorer animals. It will not pay to winter them, as better animals will give larger returns for shelter, care and feed. It is not economy to ke*; a poor animal through any season . but it is most extravagant to ke«p it tbroagh the winter. It is ttie height of tolly in stock- raising to sell the best and keep the worst. True, the b«st bring the largest prices, but if you sell the best and keep the worst, soon vour best will be no better than your worst is now. and your worst will be sach that the more you have the poorer you will be. Vou, by this plan, constantly make your animals poorer , and as the stock reiser makes his animals jiccrer he makes him- self poorer. If ho keeps up the process, bankruptcy is as sure as fate. The oppo- site policy IS the winning policy. Sell the poorest ind retain the best- And sell enough ot the poorer animals that you may buy a few better than the best you no* have. This is making your animals con- stautly better and jcurself richer. Soon vour worst will bring as much as your best now. 1! you have not the pure-bred am mals, sell enough scrubs or grades to buy aa animal ot each sex, pure bred. Hold fast to the full. blooded produce, and to tbe higheal grades. .Vlmost oefore you are aware of 11 you will have only pure. bred animals. If once we start with purebred animals, the increase of breeding make us rich in docks and herds of the best blood in what, when the goal is reached, seems a very short time. StandlU){ by the Jer.*ey». 1 have Utile fear of the future, near or distant, of the American Jersey breeder. The most interesting feature of the present condition of the Jersey market, however, 13 the evident absorption by the farming and dairy interest of the larne majority ef the Jerseys sold to- day. 'I'hey are going, jast where breeders want them to go, into the hands ot those who buy largely on their faith In the capacity and practical useful- ness of the Jersey iu the butter dairy. Of course breeders would like to get better prices as the reward of their intelligent etforts in breeding . yet there is no field which the legitimate' breeder more couti- dently seeks for the sake of the Jersey's reputation than that ol practical service iu tde dairy of the farmer. It would seem to be a work of supererogation to recount the merits of the Jersey at this late date ; sntTice it to say that uu.ines- tionably the Jersey will produce more butter on the same amount of feed than any other breed known. The Guernseys come nearer than any others, but they have not been so carefully developed for su{ierior production. Farmers may rely on the truth of this assertion. I know that the large udders of the Uolsteius are very attractive. I have seen specimens of the breed that were very supero models in form, externally, ot tne milch cow ; but let a farmer buy one of these thirty .(uart cows, and place her alongside of a tilteeu- vjuart Jersev for a comivjiitive test, and 1 venture the assertion that the iiuanlity of hay and grain necessary to enable the Jersey to produce twelve pounds of butter a week would, if ted to the Holatein, cause her yield to fall iu three months to ten ,|flart8, with a butter capacity of probably six pounds a week. Farmers must not lose sight of the fact that the most profitable batter cow is the one that will make a pound of butter at the lowest ooat tor tee^i. I onoe took three quarts ot pure milk of a well-bred and splendidly formed Holstein and set it for cream. I also took a quart and a pint ot Jersey milk, to which 1 added a like amount ot water, and set the mixture for cream. The a>lulterateil Jersey milk showed one-fifth more cream than the pure Holstein milk. If you have a market that does not regard the .(aality of milk, it may pay to keep Holsceina. In Connecticut and New Jersey it la not con- sidered a sate operation to sell Holstein milk anleaa labeLed skim milk, since the law requires that whole milk shall show m those States rsapectiTely 13 and li per cent, solids. There can be no qaestion that for prcdiable production ot batter the Jer- sey cannot be equalled, mach less ezaelled, and so I am pleased to see farmers invest- ing in Jerseys. I know ot many instances of farmers baying high grade and para Jerseys for the butter dairy, and I never knew ot an instance ot their being discarded when once thoroughly tried. On the oiher hand, I have heard them say they were worth as much again as the ordinary cow of the country for butter production. There never waa a time when so gcod a iirade or quality ot Jerseys could be bcught aa to- day. In the past ten years tne breeding community has been educated to appreciate the laeatimable value of the ball in all breeding problems. Every breeder has striven to have as the leader of his herd the very best bull he could a:: ord to buy . and with the use of such 'duUs, the of spring of comparatively poor cows have been, so to speak, graded up to a hiiiher level of merit, Aud the average intrinsic value of Jerseys bred in this country in the past ive years is probably VM per cent, superior to tha of animals bred ten or fifteen years aco. Hence it is 1 good time for farmers to buy. I know that ui the practical teat of sctuai performance in the dairy, the Jersey cow will not oisappoint, while by the time t.uat farmers shall have baili up their herds to a fulness that seeks a market for their sur- plus stock, they will find a demand at prices that will soon reimburse them for their original outlay. â€" (J. :r. y^rUt 11 'ou.M-y A LONKLT SIMOKB Harlj Dedance to aa Aa««iiibied Cong tloaâ€" Factor and i>rec«ntor Episode The members ot the Carlton street Pres- byterian Church have almost ananimoosly taken the side of the pastor in reg'^rd to Lbe precentorscip. and yesterday the n«w singer, who is the jhoice cf the congrega- gation.
