The Camel’s Eye.

The Nile is essentially a river of alienee and mystery. Even the camels turn their beautiful soft eyes upon you as if you were intruding upon their silence and reserve. Never were the eyes In a human head so beautiful as a camel’s. There is a limpid softness, an appealing plaintiveness, in their expression which drag at your sympathies like the look in the eyes of a hunchback. It means that with your opportunities you might have dope more with your life. Your mother looks at you that way sometimes iu church when the sermon touches a particularly raw nerve in your spiritual makeup. I always feel like apologizing when a camel looks at me.—Exchange.
