Oirpedsian Girls at Two Hundred Polnds Turkish, ac Georgians One Hundred and Twenty---Black Girls at Thlity-19igtt Ai. correspondent of the Paris Gatdois desoribps a recent visit to a slave. sale in Constantinople, Not withstanding the nominal abolition of the slave trade in Turkey, through the efforts of the oivillaed Eur pean Governments, it still continues in a furtive way, As long as the harem exists, this trade will exist. This sale was in a house. All the winlows facing on the street were closed. The correspondent accom panied an Egyptian friend and his valet in a carriage to the mosque of the Sultan Mahomet, at which point they turned into narrow and com pliqated streets, which finally be came impassable. They alighted before apile of mud which could be crossed only on foot. Reaching the house, they were introduded into th1e selemlik, or chamber reserved for nale visitors, Here they found th slave dealer standing, a shoryt pipe in hand. He was a little old Tri: politan, . Gassirgi-Messoud-Aga by narge. He has followed the busi ness for forty years. After the cus tomary salutations, pipes and coffee were offered and taken with the silence pAcual to Orienitals brpgrp any business transaction. An ebony young eungeb soon entered and whispered in Messoud's ear. The latter made a sign of acquiescence, and, turpni to the guests, said , "Bouyouron (permit me.) The guests rose and followed him into the rooin of the harem. A long diyan, about a foot and a half high and four feet wide, surrounded three sido Qf the chamber. An excavation in the wall held the cushions and coverings used at night. The floor was covered with mats and loose pieces of carpet. Upon the divan were seated, side by side, two white girls from Circassia, in the dress of their country. Op posite were three other women, one of whom was white, from Georgia, snd the others black. All arose as the visitors entered. One of the Circassians seemed scarcely 14. She-lad bright chesnut hair, long dark pyc-lashes, which shaded eyes pf liquid blue ; a light, well-rounded form and regnj fpatgres, overcast with melancholy. She was a beauty of the first class. Her companion, aged 18, was slightly less beautiful, but was , parformer on the kemendja or Turkish violin. In addition, she was recommended as a good cook, seamnstress and washer. Her brown hair fs)) fio har knees. She looked, at the visitore coolly, and fixed her eyes on jthe Egyptian with an expression that seampd to aisk him to purchase her. At a sg from Messoud one of the black girls disrobed the Circassians. This was not a complicated procers, as their dress ~as simply a tunic, a pair of trousr snad a chemise, The youn'ger seemed distressed; the other simply fixed her eyes upon the floor. Messoud passing his hands over them, called attention to their good ppoints, and made them show th~ regular, pearly teeth. He dw also upon the strict decorum of t~erantecedents. After an ex aminagon .of the Oprgian and a glanee at th~e black girls the par~y .returned to the selamlik to close the bargais.. The younger Circasiani was quoted at 200 pounds Turkish, th el r 4 180, the Georgian at 120i The - pjiian found them too high priced and took one of the black girls for 88 pound.s He sum ply wantsd a house servant. The Malebeb comlpted, the party were pgainasepwed .wit pipes and coffee, and-lef4he'housp.. 'The pr~elimiinaries to this were conducted with great caution.

There are many familiar phraseo in cogstant use, which the majority of the people supuse to have their origin in the Bile, an4d use them in that connection. The New York Observer corrects tlis errox in the following lpanner, But, as the phrases are very fine, we still love to see them. To prevent piisquota tion from the scripture, it gives them thbug ('God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb." From Sterno's "Sen timental Journey to Italy." Com pare Isaiah xxvi., 6. "In the midst of life we are in death." From the Burial Service ; and this originally from a hymn of Luther. "Bread and wine which the Lord hath commanded to be received." From the English Catechism. "Not to be wise above what if written." Not in Scripture. "The merciful man is mereiful to his beast.' The Scriptural form is : "A righteous man regardeth the life of his beats." Prov, i 10. "A nation shall be born in a day." In Isaiah it roads : "Shall a nation be born at once ?" "As iron sharpeneth iron, so doth t man the countenance of a friend." "Iron sharpeneth ; so a man sharpen eth te countenance of his friends." Prov. xxvii., 17. "That he who runs may read." "That he may run that readeth." Hob. xi., 2. "Owe no man anything but love." "Owe no man anything but to lpye one another."-[Rore. x ;i., 8. "Prone to sit as tho sparks fly upward." "Born to trouble as the sparks fly upward."-[Ron. v, 7. "Exalted to Hoaye in point Qi privilege." Nqt in the Bible. 1vo was not Adam's helpmate, but merely a help meet for him ; nor was Absalom's long hair the instru ment of his destruction ; his head, and not hair upon it, haying been caught in the bows of the tree. (2 Samuel, xviii., 9.) .A London wig maker once made a sign iupon which was pairyted Absalon3 suspended from the branches of the oak by his hair, and underneath the following couplet: If Absalom hadn't worn his own hiir, He'd no'er been found banging to it. rV3D-E TI lH3 PURIFIES THE BLOOp, ThNPVATEs AND INVzUoRATES THE WHOLE SYSTEM.
