son of Shi tan would imagine evil against:
that grim and odcrous virtue? Some
times a lank leggicd, pot-bellied, beard
less Neubian enuch acts -the part of
guardian angel, and it .is laughable to
note tho hideous grimncesj tho scowls
which tho faithful shephor.l casts oq tho
masculine gender that dares to scrutin
ize his ewes too closely. Every street in
bazaar has its special purposo. Here,
forinstanco, is tho shoemaker's iUtoy,
where yellow boots and embroidered
slippers aro to be seen in infinite variety
of form a^d costlinoss.
Tho artistic taste lavished on the slip
pers is remarkable. - Moroco leather,
silk and velvet, cunning needlework,
precious stofics, even, aro devoted to j
the manufacture of articles likely to at- |
tract the cnpriciouB fancies of tho harem.
Our officers eagerly purchased theso I
pretty chussures ^for tho enshrinoment
of absent little feet, of cottrso and many a '
private soldier hoarded his ponco for the i
purposo of transmitting to 'tho girl he
left behind him,' a pair of fairy pumps
no tustic Cinderella could expect to (it.
Turning into a neighboring 'row,' we
entor the corporation of dealers in caf
tans, panlnlooiiB itc., made of Damascus
or of uroussn silk. The colors of Ihcsc
habiliments are of the richest, their pat
terns whimsical,and tho C09t moderate.
No wonder, then, that our young musce
dins much frequented ilia nlacu.?
Thoy sought after curious dressing
gowns ami flashy smoking-drawcrs. We
next visit tho jewelers, whoso wares are
so disposed in gless cases that tho own
ers can korp an cyo upon them without
altering r*cs J
ttire on tlia dyspeptic divan. Much
treasure is stored in tho murky little
shops.

nwoy points and smooth off angles, for
fear of lessoning the carat valuo of tho I

shape. Tho mountings aro for the most
part course anil heavy, not an attempt at
lino tooling. As our English sinters will
have no difficulty in believing, jewelry is |

Almost Home.
This is one of the most joyous cypres- j
sions in the English laaguago. The j
heart of the long absent husband, father
or son, not only homeward bound, but
almost arrived, thrill* wilh rap'urous joy .
as he is o.n tho point of receiving cm
braces and greetings of the dear ones
at home. So is it with ilia aged chris
tian, as, in the far advance of hia pil
grimage, ha feel's that fio approaches tho
boundary 1 no, and will soon cross over
tho land o I promise. Many of his bust l
friends had crossed over before him,
and they liavo long been beckoning him
upward and onward. They await his.
arrival with lire joyful welcome of holy
ones. And as tokens multiply on either!
liand, that the land of Bculah is r.cor he
feels that he is almost homo. Tho ripe
fiuit of a long Christian life is about to
