naturally sympathize with oil struggling

There are in California 81, 600 Chinese.
nearly all enrolled in six clubs. cores
ponding to the six districts from which
the emigrants came. On the arrival of
an emigrant ship, agents from the clubs
proceed on board and take charge of
those who have come from the districts
represented by their companies. AT
the clubhouse the emigrant is boarded
and lodged at a small cost until he has
obtained employment. Should he be
out of work at any time afterward, he
is permitted to return; or, should he be
sick, lodging is provided for him. In
case of INDECENT, sick, Or disabled, the
clubs, if they should not be provided
for by private contributions. find lodg-
ings, pay doctors bills; and, in cases
where it is necessary for the patients to
return to China, defray the cost of their
passages. The name of every member
is inscribed iii book kept for the pur-
pose, and to prevent the absconding of
defaulting debtors, all persons propos-
ing to return to China are bound to re-
port their intention to the committee of
the club, who only allow them to de-
part when they are satisfied that in do
ing so they will leave no just claims
unsettled In most of the cIub-houses
a room or part of room is set apart
for the worship of the spirits of de-
ceased members. There is an altar
erected, on which are placed the offer
ings of friends and relatives; while be-
hind it is kept the frightening, melan-
choly roll of those who have died in

A LOVER IN THE CLOSET.

"A short time since very enterprising
young merchant, who is the happy pos
SCISSOR of wife as beautiful as heart
could desire, had occasion to visit Mo-
bile. He was gone but 8 week, and re-
turned sooner than was expected. Reach
ing home at an hour when the gray of
the morning was mingling with the
shades of night, he of course found the
family all in bed. Proceeding directly
to his wife's apartment, he raped for
admission, at the same time announcing
who he was. At the mention of his
name, he thought he detected q. smoth-
cred exclamation of surprise, and then
some one got hurriedly from the bed
and sought refuge in a closet adjoining
his bed room. All this he heard dis
tinctly, as he waited in the cold, with
the demon of jealousy Juggling away at
his heart. There was some one in his
wife's room there could be no doubt of
that and that some one had sought ref
uge in the closet was equally clear.
Who else could it be than a lover? Mad
with jealousy, furious and indignant,
he could scarcely wait for the door to be
opened before he bursted into the room
and made for the closet. His wife in
terfered and begged that he wouldn't
open the door coneealing the distuber of
domestic peace. He dashed her aside
furiOusly, but she chung TO the tails of
his coat. The strain made upon these
useful Appendages at last compelled
them to give way, and the angry bene-
dict threw wide open the door OF the
closet, and lol instead of the cunning
libertine, his astonished eyes rested on
one of the prettiest girls imaginable.
She was passing the night with his
wife, and trying TO avoid meeting him
In dishG6sle, brought about rather en-
barassing denouement- The gentleman,

THE CHILDREN.
BY CHARLES DICKENS.

When the lessons and tasks are all ended,
And the school for the day is dismissed,
And the little ones gather around me,
To bid me goodnight and be kissed:
Oh, the little white arms that encircle
My neck in d tender embrace.
On, the smiles that are halos of heaven,
Shedding sunshine OF love on my face!
And when they are gone sit dreaming
OF my childhood TOO lovely to last;
OF love that my heart will remember,
hen 1t wakes to the pulse of the past,
Ere the world and its wickedness made me
A partner OF sorrow and SIM;
When the glory OF God was about me,
And the glory of gladness within.
Oh. my heart grows weak as a woman's
Aud the fountains of feeling Will flow,
When | think OF the paths steep and stony i,
Where the feet of the dear ones must go;
Of the mountains OF sin hanging o 'er them,
OF the tempest of Fate blowing wild;
Oh: there is nothing on earth half so holy
As the innocent heart of a child!
They are idols of hearts and of households;
They are angels of God in disguise;
His sunlight still sleeps in their tresses,
His glory still CLEANS in their eyes;
OH those truants from home and from heaven
They have made me more manly and mild /!
And know how Jesus could liken
The Kingdom of God TO a child.
1 ask not Il life for the dear ones,
All radiant, as others have done.
But that life may have just enough shadow
To temper the glare of the sun;
l would pray God to guard them from evil q,
But TINY prayer would bound back to myself
All! a seraph may pray for sinner,
But sinner must pray for himself.
The twig is so easily Bonded,
have banished the rule and the rod;
have taught them the goodness OF knowl-
edge,
They have taught me the goodness of God +;
Ny heart is dungeon of darkness,
Where shut them from breaking rule;
My frown is sufficient correction;
My love is the law of the school.
l shall leave the old house in the autumn,
To traverse its threshold no more;
All! how l shall sigh for the dear ones.
That meet me each morn at the door!
/ shall miss the good-nights and the kisses,
And the gush of their innocent glee,
The group on the green, and the flowers
That are brought every morning to me.
/ shall miss them at morn and at eve,
Their song in the school and the street;
l shall miss the low hum of their voices,
And the tramp of their delicate feet.
When the lessons and tasks are all ended,
And death says, The school is dismissed!'
May the little ones gather around me,
TO bid me good night and be kissed.

ployed who have received their instruc-
ton here and also by the condition of
some of these schools taught by Nor
NAL pnpils-but the usefulness of Nor
NAL Schools is acknowledged, and the
kansas State Normal School, is no
longer an experiment.
We viii also mention our visit to the
Normal Boarding House, stone build
ing of two stories and a wood addf-
ton of the same hight. 1t appeared to
be kept in good order by the family re-
siding in it.
The rooms are rented to pupils, some
of whom board themselves, and some
take their meals with the family occu-
plying the house.
There are accommodations for only
twenty-six pupils. This is inadequate
to meet the demands already made upon
it,.
The great amount of preparatory
work to be done in building up a new
Institution in new country is especial
ly felt here, and the Trustees have an
unusual amount of work to do, when
compared with that done in some of the
eastern Normal Schools.
The Teachers deserve our hearty COM
mendation and we compliment them
for having so effectually worked their
own style and spirit into the characters
of their pupils.
The Institution is growing rapidly in
usefulness and public favor. II is
worthy of the fostering care of the
State.
The books furnished by the State to
the school would be mu h better cared
for if there was book case or cases to
keep them in.
