BY MISS M. A. BISHOP.
What is home without mother?
Sure it's holiest charm is fled;
There may be the sister brother,
Yet it lacks it's gentle head. .....
What is home without mother, ...
When the evening hearth burns fair,
And a group who love each other,
Bound in peace-are gathered there?
Yet there's one, whose word controlling,
-, Ruled each scene of home born joy;
She is gone-and naught consoling,
Can remove grief's dark alloy.
Hark! the sacred chime is tolling! ,..r
Sweetly falls it's measured swell! "a.
Memory DER my heart is rolling
Mother loved that Sabbath bell
See! the page of inspiration .......
Spreads its leaf divinely fair;
Breathing peace and resignation,
Mothers name is written there.
What is homo without mother,
While ascends the household prayer? -.
God is therc-our grief we smother, .r
For her place is vacant there.
What is home without a mother
When affliction Ger it breaks?
Friends are thcre--yet there's another
That the heart with longing seeks. T.,
Turn my soul! to where bright mansions,
BY thy God are opened fair;
Thou shalt frd-'mid joys expansion,
Heaven-and Homeland Mother, there.

QUEEN Victoria is. SO very peculiar.
about whom her relations shall marry =
that one would suppose she had fami-
ly right to be SO. Judge the extent of it
from this fact: 'sJohn Of Gaunt, Duke .of
Lancaster, was three times married, his
third wife being Katherine Swynford who
had long been his mistress, and it is from
one of the illegitimatc children Of Ian
caster and Katherine that Queen yicto-
ria herself deccnded.'

The New York Post relates that dis.
tinguished railroad financier, banker and
member of the church, in getting up a
bank in one Of the Western cities in-
voked the aid Of the Bishop i'll making
subscriptions to the capital stock, by ask.
ing the loan of his note on time for few
thousand dollars, telling him it was a
mere matter of form-that he would not
be obliged to pay it, Sc. The Bishop
complied, and not being person that
gave any great deal of attention to tenn
poral affairs and not overburdened with
the "ready," his note having been passed
to the hands of brother banker of the
linancier, was as matter of course pro-
tested for non-payment when it became
due. our financial friend, who has kept
watch on the note, now goes quietly and
with much apparent secresy to a brother
member of the church, and with benevo-
lence beaming on his countenance, in-
forms him that the Bishops note is lying
at the bank under protest. "This is too
bad" says he, "but nothing must DO said
about IL; we must take up the note, and |
will head the subscribtion with S50."-
The requisiteamount wassoon raised land
the Bishops note paid. The fnancier
made his bank stock clear at cost Of $50
only, and at once took position in tho
opinion Of his fellow members, as pillar Of
! the church.

err energies from this gloomy de6le, his
heart must beat within him as he dire cts
his eyes toward the great and mysterious
city of Pekin; but there he will see moth
ing but boundless plain of sand, with
few scattered farms woods of cypress,
little rivers, and not a patch of green,
whilst every other point of the horizon
is shut up by an unbroken and majestic
range of blue and .lreary peaks, rising
like barrier between two worlds, to the
height of five hundred thousand feet
However, as you approach the city, of
which nothing at all can be seen until
you have passed under its very wall, the
buzzing, Kissing, moaning of men, asses,
women, camels, gongs and birds of prey,
of monster kites, and pigeons with melo-
dious instruments attached to them and
carrying back to heaven the eXtrrvagant
inspirations of Chinese musicians; in fact,
all the noises and smells that come hoat-
ing upon the wind over this great wall,
as if all the animal creation were breath
ing within it, are things so strange to a
traveller just arrived from Paris, that he
cannot describe them
Once he has passed under the ponder
Gus northern gate, measured the thick
ness of the stupendous wall, and is fairly
in Pellin, he will be utterly bewildered;
all before him is a confused and dusty
mass of colors, men, mules, cabs, hun.
dreds of camels with the weary Mongols
in their once red gowns, enthroned and
fast asleep on their highest summit; an
immensely Of wide, perfectly straight and
endless streets; live ocean Of the most
degraded beggars, of cooks, BARRIERS,
blind men beating upon kettle drums,
orators delivering speeches; then, right
and left, brilliant shops, cafes and hotels
surmounted by long poles of all colors,
wooden walls beautifully carved and gilt
over; in fact it is a scene SO unique in the
world that no dream could ever be SO
eccentric.
After travelling due south for four
miles, leaving on the left the splendid
lien Tein street and it's noble gate, tow
ering like another Babel in the misty
horizon, and on the right of the eastern
wall of the Imperial city, shutting it out
from profane eyes, but over which the
Imperial hills, lakes, kiosques, temples,
aud cedars, may be seen at intervals, we
come at length to the northern limits OF
the Chinse town.

NEGRO PHILANTHROPY.

Massachusetts philanthropy seems to
run wholly to negroes. The last vestige
of law assigning them to condition of
inferiority has been removed from the
statute book, anu they now stand upon
an equality in all respects with the most
privileged class. They may vote, hold
office, and form military companies. If
they be poor, they are seldom sent to
alms-houses, but provided for by the
muniGcenoe of private charity They
are, indeed, a favored class, as will be
seen by the statement which follows,
which we CLEAN from a recent speech by
Hon. BENZ. f. BUTLER, the democratic
candidate for Governor at the late cleo
ton. Mr.. BUTLER obtained his facts from
official sources, and challenges denial Of
them. OF the twenty-seven hundred
white paupers who had catered the pub
lie alms-house during the year, six hun
dred and sixty-six had died. Every fouth
man, woman and child had died and was
buried in the Pottcrs Field. Three hun
dred and forty-onc children under the age
of five years died in those charncl houses,
cent. of the children aud reared, three
of every hundred. While three arc saw
cd, ninety-seven die. This is the man
ner in which Massachusetts, treats her
white poor. Many of them are foreign
ers or the children of foreigners, can it
be that this is the cause of her treatment
of them? Can it be that the same intol-
Grant spirit which prompted the two years
amedmcnt, and the dissolution of the in
dependent military companies composed
of adopted citizens, also prompts the man
agemcnt of the alms-house? Or is it
Only that Massachusetts, is so cngrossed
in the care of her colored populations OF
other States, that she has no time to give
to the care OF the white unfortunates
within her limits?
Probably she is animated alike by a
wicked intolerance of foreigners; an alb.
surd philanthropy towards negroes, and
a hostile feeling towards the slave States
This is Massachusetts,, who boasts of hel
educational establishments, of her intelli
genes, of her wealth and prosperity, aud
of her morality. This is Massachusetts,
whose people give tens of thousands o.
dollars annually TO the hcathcn in foreign
lands, and who weep over tho degeneracy
of our own country. This is abolition
black-republican- -know-nothing Massaohu
sets, who sheds big tears over an imagin
ary black "Uncle Tom," but who has no
a tear to drop over the namelcss graves
of the ninety-scven out of every hundred
white children which die Of neglect il
her own alms-houses. This is the mode
political and religious State OF Massachu
setts, who cherishes not the memories o
WEBSTER and CHoATE, and who applaud
the blasphernies of GARRISON and Par
KEE. This is Massachusetts, not of for
mer days, but of the present day.-Nre

from using spirituous liquors, excepting
in cases of sickness. Mr.. A. S. Mans
field, the last year he was the liquor
agent of Massachusetts,, sold spirits to
the amount of $l00,760,43. The sales
of Mr.. Burnham, his successor, have
amounted this year to about 1925 000.-
Burnham bought the most villainous COM
pounds, and practiccd the most extensive
frauds with them. Distillery slops, cur
rent in all the rum holes of Yakecdom at
thirty to forty cents per gallon, he would
drug so as to give them six and eight
dollar brandy appearance, and sell them
at that rate, pocketing the difference, in
the name of Temperance Reform and
