A horrible sight was exposed. The young physician sat still in the chair with the knife in his throat, the blood a FALSE WITNESS have been. Bat that could not be, and ‘ w*ited silently till Lonise spoke to noticing at reputation, than the rank, greenslimy venom that wells np from malicion* hearts and drips from the forked tongues of false tale-bearers. Slander always selects for iu vic tims some innocent, unsuspecting per son, and armed with malice, jealousy, envy, hate and spite, proceeds to pour its slimy venom of insinuation and falsshood into the ears of willing lis teners, who are only too eager to listen to the voice of the traducer. In lend ing a willing ear to the voice of slan der, one's own heart and mind become poisoned. The slanderer always ap proaches one under the gnise oi friend ship and confidence, and then begins to poison the mind of his listener against an innocent victim; sometimes by sus picions insinuations, and again by di rect, false accusation. The slanderer is a person not to be trusted; for in the same way that he will slander other persons to yon, he will slander you to others. When the slanderer finds that his object is attained, and his victim suffers, he liaka ont his slimy, forket tongue, and chnckles with fiendish de light at the evil he has wrought. Slanderers would soon find their oc cupation gone, but for the fact that they always find persons who give “Why, Bert.” she said, „„ ice the litter of hulls, “didn't mamma send me any? I’ll ran and get mine.” Bert let her go; he felt too much ashamed to tell about it. Bat, of course, he had to tell at last, ioolilh little boy.

Be oiot too ready to believe tale-bearers. If they come to yon with some tale that some one has said, believe it not, but go to that one, and in ninety-nine per cent, of cases, yon will find the tale nntrue, and that it sprung from a malicious heart. Slanderers are the worst ene mies of hnman society and shonld be ahnnned aa a plague, . for tbeir evil presence is contaminating and hnrtfnl. Many an innocent heart has been made to suffer by the tongue of the false tale bearer, and many others have suffered unconsciously in reputation by the •ame vile means. a Don’t give up east aside a friend on accoaut of sc tale that has been told yon until yon the month of a tomb. In the heart that savage solitude it might well astonish any one,to hear several words * English, and those, too, spoken by e voice of a young child. Three figures had just issued from a deep cavern, or rather cleft/in the rock, which they seemed to have takfi kling slowly down bis breast, deaid. A dozen men rushed forward to exam ine. Thera was no donbt abont it; a murder had been committed, calmly and boldly, in the presence of three behind the scenes. Then it .11 fo’nd that both the conjurer and the- yonng woman had disappeared.

Refuse to listen to the talea of evil gossip* and yonr.own, life will be much hi pier. There is a touching legend, the effect that a happy, pretty little, bird was warbling its sweet innocent songs, when the hot poisonous breath of slander was blown against it. The happy tittle bird, flattered and Sholbach and his victim were i again.

The powerfal.yonng are always in a hurry,. That is physi suddenly feIt : au.iri#siatBb go upon the pjatjojjj,, ^Ij died. The application of this legend to society can be easily made. It is re- markable what a taste some people hav« for listening to, and how readily they believe tales of slander. The most* remarkable thing, how ever, in connection with this subject, is, the strength of this passion in the slanderer’s own breast, for it g 1 shelter for tho night. The foremost —a tall, gaunt, sinewy Asiatic, with his Bhaggy black hair twisted into long carls after the Beroochi fashion, heavv Afghan jezail (rifle) on hi shoulder, and a long dagger in hi silken girdle—looked just the man ft each a wild region; bnt the slight,deli- e-featnred English lady who follow- him. and the little girl whom she led by the hand,were the very last peo ple that one would havo expected to moet in the depths of this grim wil derness. o Both looked pale and worn, as ii such rough travelling were far too much for their strength; and a very pretty sight it was to see how careful the fierce warrior was of them both, helping the mother whenever she stumbled among the sharp stones, and carrying the child in bis strong arms through the great snow-drifts that had swept across the narrow break-neck every hero and there. Bnt all this while his keen black eye kept glancing back over his shoulder, or looking restlossly from Bide to side, %s if ex pecting every moment the appearance be a second nature, which he seems powerless to control. Truthfully doei the poet say: “ “There ia a Inat in man no charm cai >'-■ tame, Of loudly publishing hia neighbor's abame, On eagle’s wings immortal slanders fly. ‘ ' ' .. .

N. B.—The Gallery is very spa cions, and the Pit soithout bottom.

But now the pray it self, having been driven out of Cabool by the Afghans, had been attacked among the mountains in its retreat to ward the frontier of India and com pletely destroyed. Amid tho general slaughter, Mrs. Harcourt and her little Minnie had been saved with great dif ficulty by their friend Ismail Beg—i bravo Beloochi chief in tho English service, who was now doing his best to bring them safely to the fort where Colonel Harcourt was in command. Ismail’s strong nerves trembled as he suddenly saw far in the distance a line of dark figures com ing on over the frozen hill-side swift and merciless as panning wolvrs. The is were on the trail, he been alone, the daring Be- loochi would have feared nothing, for he had faced worse • odds before noi and if he had fo run for his life,'f« men in those mountains conld have overtaken him. He caught np Min nie, and Btrode onward through mud and snow, while the little girl nestled r golden head against his shonlder if feeling quite safe in bis hands. Bat there was no one to carry poor Mrs. Harconrt, whose delicate feet were already sorely cut by the sharp stones; and do what they might, the pursuers gained upon them, uttering yells of savage triumph, which made the lady shudder, and Ismail clinch his teeth grimly. Jnst then a sadden tarn around sharp corner showed them, high on ti rocky ridge beyond, the fort which they were making. Bnt between them and it yawned a hideous chasm several hundred feet in depth, spanned by one of those perilous bridges which one sees also in South America, consisting merely of two ropes, one above another the lower for the feet and tho upper for the hands. Hanging above that dread ful gulf, the two cords looked no big ger than spider’s threads, bnt this wai their oney chance. Snatching off his scarf, ism^il blind folded Mrs. Harconrt wirh it, and bid ding Minnie to shat her eyes and cling tightly to his neck, he led the mother forward to the rbpea, placed her hand on the npper one and her foot on the lower, ana told her to go forward and fear nothing nntil she felt herself on firm ground. ' Then he stepped in front of her, and holding tbe child in one fearlessly along the terrible passage. At that moment the Afghans came over the brow of the hill behind, and raised a howl of fary as they saw their prey abont to escape. One man lev elled hie rifle at the fugitives, bnt in stantly lowed it again, for they conld not fire at Ismail with the risk of hit ting Mrs. Harconrt or Minnie, whose ransom wonld make them rich for life.
