Uhr illiagir illllirrnr. It happened that in the house of an Egyptian sorcerer, far off in the years of the pyramids, a strange thing took place on the face of one of his be- witched mirrors. One day the priestess of the Nile fled from the hall of the entranced mirrors in dismay at the spectacle one of the glasses depicted. On returning to his palace to examine the phenomenon, the magician stood amazed to see the usually dreamy, langorous aspect of the Nile changed to a churning mass of sea foam as it flowed under the window of the hall of the enchanted mirrors. Rightly he attributed the disturbance to the queer pic- tures reflected on the glistening surface of the glass above. The reflections were altogether novel and unheard of. People of an age yet centuries off were acting in the role of instructors in one of the higher schools of a town, the not unmusical name of which the mirror gave as Salina, in a world and place undreamed of. The magician, seizing the chance to make his name for- ever great, wrote out an account of the images reflected, and, to keep it last- ingly intact, he Wrapt it in the velvet draperies of a charmed blanket and packed it in the soft, smothered perfume of the winds of Arabia. He then commanded this bundle to present itself to certain ones of the class over which the pictured teachers were to rule when the required number of ages had passed away. The following is a translation of the ancient manuscript: I, Ramses, the soothsayer of the east, in the third hour of the morning, noted the beginning of an extraordinary series of wonders. Gazing on the polished surface of my mirror, I distinctly saw heap upon heap of what ap- peared to be history outlines. Their author, according to the admiring testi- monials carelessly scattered about, is destined to be one of the future great and original historians. Barely had I begun to reason thus, when the histo- rian himself came in sight, thoughtfully clasping his hands behind him. Oth- erwise his appearance was far from that of a genius. Instead of the burning fire of madness, he possessed such a mild expression that I secretly doubted his powers until a voice whispered in my ear that his looks resembled those of Hawthorne. Now, as I knew Hawthorne was one of the geniuses to be, I no longer had any misgivings. While Iwas vainly trying to decipher the name on the outlines, they quietly rose from their places and disclosed the name 'Crissmanf t f'When, lo! I beheld in the midst of a huge laboratory, fllled with 'ivory flasks of mercury and methylated spirits, a silent and thoughtful man bending over a jar of contending gases. But I looked again-the scene had changed! and the once thoughtful man was now in a school room prancing about in uncontrolled delight at the puzzled looks of the pupils or devouring in undisguised admiration the 'catch' questions which his profound sagacity and ingenuity had compiled for the 'deliciousf entanglement of the students. While I was intently regarding the conduct of this man there was emblazoned on the mirror in letters of flre the name Abdul Hammed, which is, translated in the language to come, 'Lofty.' A confused swirl, as of silken robes, and there evolved from the spirals
