Whatever you are. be brave, boy !
Tbe liar's a coward and slave, dots ;
Though clever at roses.
And sharp at excuses,
Hal a saeaking and pitiful knave, boys :
Whatever you are. be frank, boys !
Tit batter than money and rank, boys ;
Still cleave to the right.
Be lovers of light.
Be open, abo veboard, and frank, boys !
yon are, be kind, boys !
Be gentle in manners and mind, boys !
The man gentle in mien.
Words, and temper, I ween.
Is the gentleman truly refined, boys I
But, whatever yon are. be true, boys :
Be visible through and through, boys;
Leave toothers the shamming.

The Conatautinople correspondent
of tbe Philadelphia Press writes:
Money-changing ank money-lending
are the most profitable occupation here
next to being Grand Vizier or a Pro
visional Governor. The chances of
plunder and extortion in the latter are
unlimited and nneqoaled, and rare is
the ease in which tbe retiring function
ary, poor though he may have been in
the first place, does not retire with
overflowing coffers. There is no fixed
interest for money. The Koran de
nounces usury, but no one besitatesto
ran counter to its precepts when moo
ey is needed. The Turks do not amass
money. They live frugally, care little
for the luxuries of life, and are satis,
fled if they make both ends meet
Those who are rich have made their
monef In office, under the favoritism
of the sultan or patrons iu power
While their easily acquired fortune
lasts they lead a merry life, with a well
selected harem, an elegant Tali on tbe
Bospborus, and a spacious Konak in
towo. Their outlays in tho way of
presents to the dignitaries of State, to
the servitors of their patrons, and in
political intrigues, and dowries on
their sons and daughters to marry
them well, soon run them in debt.
Recourse most then be bad to some
Armenian Saraf or money-broker.
Notes of band, indorsed or not, don't
serye. The only sufficient security is
a collateral in the shape of jewels,pre
cious stones, plate, gold snuff-boxes
incrusted with diamonds that have
been received in gift from tbe Sultan,
or some other objects of tangible val
ne. Before the negotiation is conclud
ed tbe qua of every object must be
tester, the in'j'rmc and average se'.l
ing value ascertained, and then the
money is lent on such terms that there
is a large chance of profit and none of
loss. The discount may be 30 per
cent, or 50 even, and when the loan is
or a term of years tbe interest is rare
ly lees than 25 per cent. Deeper and
deeper the borrower gets in debt ;loan
follows on loan, with new collaterals
pledged, until there is nothing left to
give as security. Then tbe creditor
realizes. He puts the precious articles
on sale In the jewelry department of
the great Bazar at Stamboul, or he sells
them to a merchant there, and perhaps
he gets one of the ambulatory auction
eers that frequent the Bexestan to cry
them off to the highest bidder, as he
urges bis way through the crowded
avenues of tbe mart of trade. In any
event, he is sure to come out with
handsome gain, such a one an would
have delightedShy lock himself. Never
was the Bazar richer than it is now in
rare, curious, and valuable jewelry,
gold ornaments, swords of honor, dia
monds, necklaces, and tbe spoils of
bankrupt harems and palaces. I have
dabbled a little in unset diamonds.anil
they are sold quite cheaply, and iu car
pets, but my pocket is too shallow for
a speculation in the magnificent orna
ments that once adotned Circassian
beauties of the Imperial harems. Ab
dul Aziz's widows and favorites have
thrown a large amouut of their treas
ures on the market, and the late Mus
tapba Fazil Pasha contributed not a
little to the enriching of the jewel ba
zar. I plead guilty to one weakness,
aud that Is to the Oriental carpet. The
Turkey carpet, as it is made In the
hand-looms of Ouchak, is a fabric that
in durability, wearing qualities, and
softness of texture can not be surpass
ed. It is made in square pieces of va
rious dimensions, but generally of a
aize to cover an ordinary room. The
colors are so stable that it is said a bar
rel of vinegar upset on it will uot
change a color. For wear, time seems
to make no impression on it. Beneath
my feet is a Turkey carpet which is at
least 30 years old, aud it is at this writ
ing as fresh as tbe day tbe last thread
was wove into it at Ouchak. There
aeems to be no fixed patterns, for I
have never seen any two alike. The
weaver's fancy determines tbe figures
and arrangement of colors, and that is
as fantastic as an Oriental imagination
always is. Tbe carpets are so heavy
that they rest on the floor with their
own weight, and need no tacks to
fasten them down. As Ibey are not
secured to tbe floor, they are frequent
ly taken up and dusted, and are always
thus kept clean. When tbe staircases,
as well as the rooms, are laid in these
solid fleecy carpets, the house is as
till as if it were uninhabited, so far
as the movements of its occupants are
concerned. It is a curious fact that
while every thing else has declined iu
price, Turkey carpets bold their own
in tbe East, one a quarter of a century
old selling near on to its original cost.
A HEART OF STOKE.
A woman about fifty years old yes
terday sat behind a chestnut stand on
Congress street East, waiting lor the
avaricious public to come along aud
gobble up her fifty cents' worth of
stock. There was a motherly benevo
lent look to her lace, and a physiog
nomist would have said that she felt
sorry for everybody who wasn't able
to start a chestnut staud. She hadn't
been there long wbeu a lump of a boy
nine or ten years old, having the black
est bare feet ever seen in Detroit, and
bis left hand rolled up in a dirty rag,
sat down on the curbstone within
three feet of her and began weeping
and wailing in the most affecting man
ner. 'Boo! boo boot oh! bno-boo-hoo I'
lie wailed as he waudered to and fro
In seeming great distress of mind.
Tbe woman gave biro a passing
dance ami then looked across the
street. He walled again, louder than
bcroie, but she never moved ber eyes.
'Ob I oh t I'm almost dead !' he sob-
ATICE TO 1
bed, but her only response was to bend f
over and Dick oot a bad chestnut and i
crowd it down into the middle of the
full half-pint measure. I
The lad then moved along until he
was at her feet, aud, pulling his old j
cat, down a notch further, be wailed : '
'Oh IJiow I wish I had a ma and pa,
and wasn't a poor orphan boy !'
The woman looked up and down the
street to see if any runaway teams
were coming. That same benevolent
look hung around her mouth, but she
didn't seem to know that a poor or
phan was near.
'Oh ! how cold and hnugry and sick
I am !' howled the boy as he looked up
at her with tearful eyes.
She didn't even wink one of her op
tics.
Nuthin to eat for three days slapt
in an ice house arm out of jint fever
almost burstin' my head open, and oh !
how I want to be somebody's darlin',
and bring in the coal, and build the
fires, and be awful good !'
The boy was getting discouraged.
lie rose right up before her aud cried
out :
'Won't you give a sufferin' orphan
ten chestnuts?'
Gwofl!' she giowled, while the be
nevolent look increased.
'Won't you give a starvin orphan
just five five wormy ones?'
'GwofiT
Throe two one just one old
wormy chestnut to strengthen me till
I can git to tbe bank P
Her face broadened and lengthened
with motherly benevolence as she
reached down for a club. When she
rose up he stood in the middle of the
street, bis tongue run out and his nose
wrinkled up.
'Glong !' she ealled, as she waved
tbe club.'
He advanced till he was just out of
reach of her weapon, and, pointing his
finger at her, he slowly said :
'I will go, my lord, I will go, kase I
see a peeler down on tbe corner, but
I'll roller you borne this noon, and I'll
pizen your dog, and I'll put tar on the
door, and I'll stone yourcat.andif you
have any cabbages in tbe back yard
IU rend them limb from limb ! You
have scorned an orphan I Your blood
be upon your own bead farewell !'
The officers got there two hundred
feet behind tbe boy, but be was not
too late to see her face so full of pity,
kindness and charity that he wonder
ed if the old woman didn't give the
boy a ten dollar bill by mistake for a
five. Free Press.
A HAN WHO SAW A MI LE DIE.
' Ain't it acurious thing that nobody
ever sees a mule die?' remarked an
old teamster in Gumbert & Webber's
saloon. No man liying ever saw a
mule die, I s'pose !'
Thus remarked Mr. Daniels, light
ing a fresh cigar : 'In 1850 1 was min
ing on tbe South Fork of the Yuba,
and it came my turn to cook for my
gang. We took turns each week, you
know. Well, I was going to show
how economical I could run the com
missary. 1 went and bought a peck
of dried apples; they were all stuck
together iu a lump, but I got 'em
jam'd into the pot, poured in some
water, and started the fire. Presently
a few of 'em began to rise up to tbe
top of tbe pot, and ho 1 skimmed 'em
off and put 'em in a pan. The first
thing I knew, alter 1 had skimmed
that blasted pot awhile, I had to get
another pan, aud thcu another, and by
the time 1 had got four pans heaped
up full, daug my skin if there wasn't
more apples in the pans than there
was in the pot. That Is, 1 thought so
at the time. I kept getting more pans
aud buckets, aud lard cam, and all the
lime plumb frightened to death for
fear some of the boys would come in
and see how extravagaut 1 was, lor I
had been blowiu' how cheap I could
run the mess. The blasted apples etill
kept coining- out of the pot. I put
some papers on the floor and covered
them with fruit, and, by Jove, the
place looked like a Sana Clara fruit
drying establishment, aud the pot was
still bilin' full.'
' What has that to do with a mule
dvinT
' Wait a minute,
mule. Finally I
I'm comin' to tbel
got desperate and
dumped over twelve bushels of apples
back of the cabin, behind a tree. In
about an hour 1 heard a devil of a
noise, aud ran out. What do you sup
pose I found ? Why, a four hundred
dollar mule kicking in the agonies of
death. The apples were all gone, and
the mule nearly so. He was swelled
up like a balloon, aud the first thing I
kuowed he busted. Pledge my word,
gentlemen, be exploded like s giant
powder blast, and brought the whole
camp to tbe place. I kept stiil ; they
could not find tbe mule, aud it cost
them $10 to advertise a reward for
him in the Sacramento Union. About
two weeks afterwards they caught a
couple ot Greasers hanging rouud. an'
they put it up that they stole the mule,
so they bun . 1 was there, but
didn't say a word, for fear the boys
would find out how extravagant I had
run the commissary. Let's have some
thing,' Virginia, Nov., Chrouicle.
" NOTES ABOUT WHALES.
As our voyage wore on, the lack of
reading matter begau to be felt; we
had all exhausted our supply during
the long detention at Panama before
setting on shipboard, and there was
nothing to be exchanged, for each one

about this; how people inevitably read

out for us. The first school of whales
we met illustrated this-. I sent differ
ent gentlemen! about the deck to qui
etly ascertain what the people were
writing in their notebooks, for every
one had produced a little note-book a
soon as they saw the whales. I was
sure that the greater number would
put it: ' This morning, for the first
time, we met tbe leviathan of the deep
disporting himself in bis native eta
aieut,' or, ' Glorious sight! huge mou-
sters at play !' I was sure very few
would call a whale a whale, and it
proved so. It was a morning's fun for
ns to watch the different ambassadors
on their missions ; tney wouia arsw
out the unsuspecting writer, saying
there was a fine sight ; something
to write home about ;' ' it is very hard
to keep a journal on a monotonous sea
voyage,' etc. Then the writer would
proudly read out what he had been
preparing for home. In almost every
case it was the stereotyped sentence.
When the returns were in we found
the leviathan had it by an immense
majority; very few whales. From

" DAD'S FINANCIERING.'
A farmer's wagon, in which were
seated a family or eight, last week
drove up to a house on Beabein street,
aud leaving his team at the curbstone,
the farmer knocked on the door,
drummed on the windows, and deter
mined to get in at every hazard. When
all efforts had failed he returned to
the wagon, hitched his horses, aud the
family sat down on the grass to wait.
A lad who had watched the perform
ance passed around the corner and
discovered the boy whose parents lived
in the house.
1 Here you there's a whole family
trying to get into your house!' he
shouted.
Hush shut up!' whispered the
othe
'But they are visitors,' continued
the other.
' Don't I know all about it !' growled
the biding boy 'didn't mam and I
see 'em drive up, aud didu't we scoot
oot the back doer as the feller came
through the gate ? I'm here and mam's
over in that house, and we feel like
someone ought to boot dad all over
town.'
Why ? What did your father do ?'
What did he do ? Why he was out
in the country buying poultry and
eggs, and be stopped at a farm bouse
and made them believe he was a dis
tant relashun and got his dinner for
nothing. He come home and told it
as a big joke, and he grinued around
for a week, but now I want to see bim
when be comes up to dinner and finds
them relasbun8 squatted around the
gate! Do they show any signs of
leaving ?'
' Nary sigh,' replied the other, as he
climbed the fence.
' Well, let 'em stick. Mam won't
come home, I'll be gone, and if this
turns out a Black Friday for dad it'll
serve bim right. Let's get where we
can see his knees wobble as he turns
the corner and sees his relashuus cov
erin a half an acre of ground.'
PLEASE CHARGE THIS.
These three words are of immense
importance to every bead of a family
or anyone whose duty it is to provide
ways and means for food, clothing aud
other expenses incident to existence.
These three words are like three
links iu a chain which we forge for
ourselves, and every time they are re
peated this chain becomes stronger
and stronger till its burden cannot
longer be borne.
These three words add fifty percent,
to the cost of any article we purchase,
for the seller wants and very likely
needs cash, and as he can turu his
money over several times before we
cau liquidate his claim he charges, in
addition to the cash price, a profit for
each lime he might have used his
money had we paid him cash on the
spot.
These three words, easily aud pleas
antly spoken, and as pleasantly re
sponded to, make a man the abject
slave oi the creditor. lie toils from
early morn till dewy eve,' but the ac
cumulating interest so hampers his
energies aud depletes his earnings'
I hat freedom becomes a boon greatly
to be desired, but scarcely expected.
From January to December he labor-,
breaking a link of tbe servile chain
occasionally, but too frequently adding
two, and if both ends can be made to
meet when the accounts are balanced
the fact is made an occasion for re
joicing. These three words should be blotted
from every farmer's vocabulary. He
canuot afford, of all men, to pay enor
mous interests, nor can he allow debts
to accumulate when future aid uncer
tain gains can only be relied upon.
This reliance too often proves a bro
ken reed, and, sooner or later, brin,
humiliation aud bankruptcy.
