The QundrOonS.

The Quadroon ladies of New Orleans excite
both feeling OF admiration and pity-admira-
ton for their accomplishments and beauty-com-
miscrGtion for tho unnatural and unjust condi-
ton entailed upon them by tho laws of Louisi-
ana a man cannot legally marry Quadroon
woman, unless no Is able to swear that he has
black blood fH his reia;. AS many OF these wo-
men are not only very white, but very beautiful
and highly accomplished, resistance to their
charms is no easy matter and, as love is not
apt to be controlled by statute limitations the
consequence Of this absurd state of things is
readily anticipated. They marry, or place, as
they call it, without the sanction of the State,
or the bencdictons Of the Church. The mo-
ther Of the Quadroon girl consents to q tempo
rary arrangement, provided her daughter is fur
nishcd with comfortable quarters, and couple
of slaves, with a promise on the part o. the
mock husband TO give his little quadroons o
good education. 1t is not q very uncommon

Life's Teachings.
BY MRsNnANcIs D. GAGE.


Chasing after butterflies, hunting after flowers,
Listening to the wild birds, thro' the sunny
hours
Looking up the hens nests on the fragrant
mows,
Tending to the Lambkins, driving up the cows,
Mixing play and labor in my childish glee,
Learned Lies frst lessons-learned 1 to be
free.
Waving on the tree tops, roaming DER the hillsi
Floating on the rivers, riding DER the plains,
Flooding through the corn-feld dropping gol.
den grains,
Mixing play and labor, with q childish glee,
Learned lifes first lessons-learned to be
free.
Laughing g'mong the green leaves as the ripe fruit
fell;
Gathering the brown nuts in tho woody dell
Tripping at the spinning wheel, ever to and fro
Dancing at the pairing bee, on merry toe;
Mixing play and labor, with youthful gloc,
Learned iifes best lessons-learned to be
free.
Singing o'er my milk pail while the dOws were
bright,
Toiling in the dairy with a spirit light,
Using mop and dustcr, wnshboard, oven. broom,
Scissors, thread and needle, as might chance to
come;
Mixing play and labor, ever chcerfully;
Learned life's best lessons-learned to be
free.
Coming these best lessons, poring over books,
Dreaming of the future, in the quiet hooks,
Cleaning, ever cleaning, as tho days went by,
Thinking, never shrinking, not afraid to Try;
Mixing play and labor, ever joyously,
Learned life's great lessons learned 1 to be
free.
Humming patient lullaby With mothers fear,
Pouring earnest councils in tho listening ear,
Working for my loved ones, answering grief or
mirth,
Striving to bring sunshine to the heart and
hearth.
Mixing love.and duty, ever joyously,
Learned 1 to be happy-loarncd to be free.
Cheering the desponding, joying with the glad;
Nursing with the suffering, weeping with the
sad.
Wearying, but not fainting, erring day by day,
Struggling to do better, as life wore away.
Thus have come lfcs changes. .over unto me,
Teaching inc great lessons, to be blest and free.
Struggling for the better with spirit strong
Earnest to pursue the right, and cschew tho
wrong
Passing the sleam of ofchildhood, passing youths
sunny hours
Passing the years of matron age, wrcathing
cares with flowers;
Thinking of my labor, ever hopefully
Learned life's true lessons, to DO blessed and
free.
Now as life dcclineth, wearing silvcry hairs
Mingled with deep furrows, footprint of its cares.
But oach deep laid furrow hath a blessing
given,
And each silvery fibre brot roe nearer Heaven.
And I think the Holy, even fervently.
That labor, love and duty, have made me blesl
and free.

Disabilities Of Jews In England.

When a s,igrnn hns once been fixed OH
any class, it is astonishing with what difficult
" is effaced. Juet or unjust, il is sure to
breed n prejudice against the injured party.
Drive this out from among the lower classes,
and il takes refuge among the most wealthy
aud fortunate. The prejudice against the
Jews in England became generally extinct
among the masses, before the middle classes
had their eyes opened to the hcinous iujis-
tice. RothschilL was elected To the Com
mons by the city of Lon,ion, long before the
Commons Ind thought of the possibility of
one OF his race to the floor. After some
fierce struggles and several adverse votes, the
Commons agreed to modify the oath of ad-
mission ION the faith of a christian" aud per-
init the member from the city To take his
seat. They have renewed this vote hy a
majority OF twenty But the House OF
Lords objected. Aud OH religious grounds,
too! Their zeal for him who forgave his
enemies, even while suffering his fearful ag-
ony on the cross, who announced the brother
hood Of men, and made love and charity the
foundations of pieiy, animated them with a
desire to crush men whose only otiense is
being descended from nn ancient race, in
whose bosom was originated the present
dominant religion Of England. For six sue
cessive sessions, the Commons lias voted for
the abolition Of the disability, and the hill
has been lost ia the Lords Several appeals
TO the people have resulted in the election Of
the Jewish candidate.
What makes this disability as much an in.
suit as a political precaution, il, that Jews
are subject to every liability of citizens, ad.
mitted to act as Jurymen, Magistrates, and
High Sherifis, and exempt from no tax. Nor
was the present form of oath devised against
them or intended to apply to them. Il WAS
directed against certain views put forward in
treatise written by one Of the men enga-
ged in the Gunpowder plot, and was supos-
ed to bind the consciences of Roman Cath
olics. Its exclusion of the Jews was purely
accidental. Yet, TO this accidental result OF
form do the Lords Of Englond cling i'm
order TO maintain the civic infamy of the
Jews! They show that the spirit of religi-
ous intolerance has survived the period of
the faggo, and the stake.

Opium, lis Cultivation, &c.

Rhis baneful drug 10 chiefly cultivated in
Bengal and other English Fast India posses
eions. The seed is sown in November, and the
produce collected in March. India is said to
produce 10000 chests, weighing from 125 to
l40 pounds each, annually. The sending of
opium TO China began in 1767. In lS47, fif-
~ vessels were engaged solely in this trade,
besides great number partially 30 engaged.
Two and hnlf million dollars were annu-
aly--in spite of the restrictions of Govern
lnent--imported into Foo-chow. In 1913
there were in that city one hundred houses
devoted to tho sale of opium for smoking
From.179l to 1920, the amount exported to
China varied from 5000 to 1000 chests per
year.j
In 1897 il amounted to between 30 600 and
10000 chests, valued at S25 100000. From
lS3slto 1912 the trade was almost entirely
Interrupted 10y the war which grew out Of
ihe attempt Of the Chinese Government to
suppress it. For the year 1913, the amount
imported into China from Bombay, was 10
III chests, which at an average of $3.50 per
chest, would amount to 32,000.000 eXpend-
Cd for this single article of trnde. Then the
Chinese pay an advance on this sum Of sew
eral millions niore which goes into the hands
Of the merchant
The principle use made of opium by tho
Chinese is in the form Of smoking. The
woalihier orders do their smoking in their
own dwellings but for the poorer classes
there are thousands of shops fitted with
accommodations expressly for smoking
The effect OF this drug upon the consum-
or are thus described by a distinguished Chi
nese scholar:
at exhnusts the animal spirit, impedes the
regular performance of business, wastes the
Hesl and blood, dissipates every kind OF
property, renders the person ill-iavUred,
promotes obsceniiy, discloses secrets, violates
the laws, attacks the vitals, and destroys life"
The Chinese government hive nude strong
efforts to cut off or restrict the traffic in this
drug Public attention was directed to its
injurious effects in 1899, an edict was issued
requiring all ships discharging their cargoes
at Whsmpoa, TO bonds, give that they had no
opium on board. Sill more stringent laws
were adopted in 1920. In 1884, an cdict
was issued, declaring that the injury done
by the increase of those who inhaled il, was
nearly equal to a general conylrdgdiion, and
dououncing upon the seller and smoker of
the poison, the bastinndo, the wooden collar,
imprisonment, Punishment, confiscation of
properly, and even decapitatior, or strangu-
lalion. But notwithstanding all this, the
trade kept increasing, until at length, an Inn
perial Commissioner was appointed, cloth
cd with tho highest authority, TO proceed to
Canton ard cndeHvor TO effect an utter an-
hilation of the trade. In carrying out this
determination, he seized aud destroyed some
20, $50 chests of opium, and compelled the
merchants TO sign n bond that they would
forever cease trading in this article.
This bold and decided measure on the part
of the Commissioner led 10 the war with
