I have heard all about the harbor.” “ And the glorious climate?” “Yes,” said Mr. Brown, emphatically, “and the climate, too.” ' “I am afraid you don’t appreciate it, though,” said his son, reproachfully. “Just think of the Boston east wind to-night and ; compare it with this air, where you can feel your lungs grow. Why, I believe I have i sprouted an extra one myself since I have “I believe that you have, my dear boy,” said the obi gentleman, chuckling, “from the am-iuot of talking that you do, I believe that vou have. Eh, senora. I rather think I got i-.im there! Did you hear that, Tulita, my dear? Ila! ha! ha!” At this moment a carriage was seen coming up the hill toward the house. “Ah!” cried Tulita, “here comes Aladdin.” I The carriage stopjied, and Benton descend ’d. Tulita, waving the bunch of roses before his face, bade him good evening. “VCcll, sir,” said the cider Mr. Brown, “and how many towns have you built today?” “Not many,” said Benton, laughing. Then drawing from his coat pocket a package of papers, he handed it to Mr. Brown, saying: “Here are your deeds and abstracts; they are all right!” “What!” shouted Frank. “Father, have vou" but here he burst out laughing. “Father,” he continued, regaining his gravi ty, “father, look me in the eye.

As soon as you get your vines well under way one year’s crop of raisin grapes will pay for it.” A Oh, of course, of course,” said the old gentleman, “it is a bargain. They all are. Though to my mind,” he continued, putting his arm around Tulita and drawing her to his side, “this is the best bargain ever got in ; southern California.” [ “Yes,” said his son. looking at his wife I proudly, “and to think that I only had to put i up s;j for the option.” “Men are so conceited,” said Tulita, con fidingly to her father-in-law; “that was not the way of it at all. It was I who gave a dozen lavender sticks for a husband and the town of Lunavarita.” TREASURES. Have hope! Though clouds e? tpoj round. Ami gladness hides her face in scorn, Put thou the shadow from thy brow; No night but hath its mom! Have faith! Where’er thy bark is driven, The calm’s disport, the tempest’s mirth.

Mr. Lincoln was much troubled when he learned that his “sailor dragoon,” Gen. Nel son, had been shot by Gen. Davis in a hotel at Louisville. Gen. Nelson was over six i-et in height, weighed over 250 pounds, and was notoriously strong, while Gen. Davis was a quiet little gentleman, who never troubl 'd any one. Si'nator Alorton, with Gens. Nelson rnd Davis, were conversing together, when Nel son became excited and deliberately slapped Davis in the right check. Davis and Alorton steppe:! back, and Alorton gave Davis a ] s tol. Davis advanced toward Nelson, who was leaning against the bar, leveled the pi- M and fired. At the puff of the revolver Nel on put his hand ou his heart, and when the by standers rail up they heard him say: “I'm a dead man. Send for an Episcopal elerjy- His friends carried him into a little room under the stairs. They opened his clone's and found near the heart a little blue murk about the size of a buckshot, and that was all. The wound had closed; no blood was run ning; you would hat-dly notice that it was a wound. By good luck there was an Epi: 'O - clergyman, a man with whom Nelson was intimate, in the house. He was sent for and came immediately, wid when ho entered the room all others withdrew. In about, ten minutes we were told that Nelson was dc.nl. Quite a number came running up at t'ao sound of the shot and among them a poll- o ijian, who arrested Davis. Davis went w ith him quietly, but upon Gen. Buell living in formed of it he made a demand upon t’to mayor for the delivery of Davis to him, which, after a momentary hesitation, was done. No notice was taken of tho aIT.-tir. Everybody felt sorry that Nelson was killed, but they understood that Tavis could not do anything else than what. c did do. He bad been struck, and if he hadn’t resented it ho would have been disgraced and compelled to leave the army. He could not resent it r-ny other way.—Bon: Perley Poore in Boston Budget Turkish Women’s Afternoon Drive. The afternoon drive is, after all, a part of the seclusion of the Turkish women. They are in the outer world, but not <4 I it, except in fancy. Observe that el"- I gant turnout! ylt is a pretty bronghani. I The horses are, for what I know, from the sleppes of Russia or the rolling prairies of Hungary. They are neat, long tailed, spirited animals. Two fe 'males ajipear and are carefully liel(>ed by the slave into the vehicle. Tho coni h man does not get a glimpse of the ladies. They are handy with their sunshades. The brown satin cushions receive their forms, the mirror is brightened. They are ready for their confectionery and their outing. Their lips are of carnation; their faces are of a rich creamy delicacy and not much hid from the gaze of the passengers. Whether on the Gezirch : drive at Cairo, on the Bois at Paris, er ' the Row in London, in the Park at New I York, or on the way to the “Sweet ! Waters” of Europe, these fair ones are ■ not disposed to be too much concealed from the world. Only a few of the rich garments which fill the wardrobes of the harem are ever worn. They are too heavy. They are only for display. They are presents from the head of the house, and be- I stowed with great ceremony. As in s-.1l ! the harems, so in even the seraglio, the ; visitors, whom the master oj the hou o [ does not see unveiled, drive him from I the penetralia of his home to seek a refuge in the Salemlik. The porter never allows ingress without some testimonial. This requires the countersign of the black i aga, who keeps the key to the cage. But why call it a cage? Nothing can lie more delightful, especially in warm sunim- r weather, than a konak on the hills or a ; palace on the shores of the straits. At midday the inmates take their siesta. There is a lullaby in the laughing rippie ! of the current almost at their feet. There is an occasional measured plas'i ; of passing boats; the regular rattle of ; the oar locks; the murmuring of music ' in other chambers, liesides a drowsiness and a lack of garish light, which reminds ; one most of the Cave of Sleep in Spi n ser's ‘‘Faery Queen.” —S.
