The CHISEsE.-Bayard Taylor, the we'll
known traveller, thus speaks of the morality
of the Chinese: at is my deliberate opinion
that the Chinese are morally the most debas-
ed people on the face of the earth. Forms
Of vice, which In other countries are barely
named, are in China so common that they ex.
cite no comment among the natives. They
constitute the surface level, and below them
are deeps on deeps of depravity, so shocking
and horrible that their character cannot even
be limited. There are some dark shadows in
human nature which we naturally shrink
from penetrating, and made no attempt to
collect information Of this kind, but there
were enough in things which / could not
avoid seeing and hearing-which are brought
almost daily to the notice of every foreign
resident-to inspire me with powerful aver.
sion to the Chinese race. Their touch is
pollution, and, harsh as the opinion may
seem, justice to our own race demands that
they should not be allowed to settle on our
soil,

Make number of common cotton bags, a

made hay, cut II with knife, and with your
hands press ii well around the hams In the
bag; tie the bags with good strings put on
card of the year to show their age, and then
hang them up in the garret or some dry room,
and they will hang ave years, and will be bet-
ter for boiling than on the day you hang
them up. This method costs but little, as
the bags will last for years. No flies nor
bugs will trouble the hams if the hay is well
pressed around them; the sweating OF the
hams will be taken up by the hay, and the
hay will impatt fine flavor TO the hams
The hams should be treated in this manner
before the warm weather sets in.

A New RELIGIOUS SEcT.-The Worcester
(Massachusetts) Transcript gives the follow
ing account of new ism called Restitution.
ISM" which has recently sprung up in Wor-
cester and other places in Massachusetts:
"The Resttutionists believe that what man
lost in the fall, is now begnningto be restor-
ed, and that the germ, now confined to their
own small number, is yet to bud an flourish
till il covers the earth. They are all kes!i-
tutionists in one sense-they be ieve that
everything is to come back TO its original
form and purity. Their Sabbath, tn, refore.
occurs on Saturday, as the original day Of
worshipi and their meetings are held Friday
evening, because II Is Sunday eve. They oaly
use the Lords Prayer, as that alone can have
efficacy with the Father. To them-or three
of them at east-is committed the apostolic
gift of tongues-this gift appears to be raih-
er useless, as the words spoken are not only
urinteligible to bystandera, but TO the others
who have like gift I'LL the inward manifes-
tation Of the spirit makes Il known. They
are Gods chosen aud willing instruments ia
whom the Holy Spirit now developes himself
partially, but through whose instruments the
world is soon to be entirely restored,
"This sect, small in numbers is strong Ia
the faith and working activity Of its members.
There are others of like faith in Athol,
New Brantree, Springfield and other places.

cane molasses are far superior TO those made
with any other kind. The Sorghum syrup
will bear long boiling without danger of
grnnula,ion, ana when east into aroler is
much tougher, more elastic, and has better
suction than those made by the material In

are the same as those in use among printers
