PERSECUTION IN CoREA.--It is well known
that the remote land of Corea is the theatre of
a bloody persecution. The following is an IN
Cdth0tiqNe de Lyon =" Three unfortunate
Christians, urged by fortunes and perhaps also
yielding to the hope of life and honors promised
to them by the prosecutors, turned traitors.
One of them made last year frequent excursions
with the satellites and betrayed great many
victims to the fury of the execntioners Abont
the end of October, he very diligently sought
after n weIl-known Christian who, till
them had escaped all pursuit Instead of this
Christian, he met on sudden simon Nj. lie
seized him, chained him, placed him under
strong guard, and carried on the search. As
he could not catch the Christian he sought
after, he seized his wife. The satellites already
tired of ministering to the vengeance of the
aposfate and traitor; could stand it no longer.
'Thfs rogue, 'ethcy- exclaimed, is notorious
scoundrel; not only does he XIII us WITH
fatigue by his perpetual running hither aud
fhither, not only does he compel us to seize
these unhappy and inefTensfye people, but see
now he has the audGoity and tneannsss 60 make
us arrest women Then displaying IN more
expressive manner their resentment, the
satellites armed themselves with sticks and
anything that came to hand, struck their chief
with repeated blows, and left him with hardly
any breath in him. Then looking ut their
prisoner, Simon ri, they said 10 him; DO you

so charming to the satellites that Simon con-

they, who had put to death so many innocents,
could become Christians and save their souls.

is infinite in mercy. You must now be con-

Before leaving they said to him; This scoun-

/" No, General you have many enemies. The

General retired to his room and threw himself,
dressed as he was, upon his couch. loud

What good could do the ladies of this day II
they paid n little less for ribbons and hneries,
and a little more to some poor seamstress or
washwoman-if, retrenching only a few OF the
SO many unnecessary articles OF their toilet,
they used the amount In good works, IN Duy-

ers still, we are never low, alas, but that
we may easily find some one worse off than
we; and although being ourselves fit subjects
of charity, this does not dispense us to prac-
tice it towards others, however little it may
be- The Widows mite was far more precious
in the sight Of God than the plentiful aims of
the prond Pharisee.
This beautiful fraternal chain Of charity,
which makes each one, from the highest to the
lowest, extend helping hand to the one be
meath him, is binding upon us all. Alas, that
its links should be broken in so many places.
Even if material aid is not in our power to
give, can we not at least give word of en-

Let us all resolve to do good to some one, TO
relieve some wretchedness, to help one anoth-

LOOK AT HoNE.-The following case, which
we find in late English paper illustrates the
mode of treating the casual poor adopted in
Christian England, came before n magistrate
at Guildhall, on Tuesday, the oath ult:
On Monday night, in the midst of heavy
rain, Il woman, accompanied by her two chill
dren, applied for admission to the casual ward
of the West London Union The porter refused
to let her in, principally the ground that
the ward was full. Finding that she could not
gain admittance, she left her children at the
gate and ran away. She was, however, caught,
and was now charged with desertion The
magistrate, in sending her to prison for seven
days, reminded the union authorities of the
order of the Poor Law Board, which lays down
that EoofI is to be found for all casual poor
who apply for ndmttance. Well may Louis
Blanc say, as he did years ago in Il letter to
a French paper, that England is the only coun-
try in the known world in which poverty Is
treated as a crime. In point of fact this I'M
fortunate creature WAS sent to prison for seven
days for attempting to get shelter for her chill
dren. If what is ironically called " the Chris
tian public" of England would do little less
in the Exeter Hall line-would leave alone the
perversion of Spanish and Italian Catholics
and the preaching of Christianity which the
Hindoos won't listen to-and do more for our
own miserable, squalid, utterly Pagan poor,
what blessing it would be! Above all, if the
care of the poor was taken out of the hands OF
Bundle, and put under responsible Government
officers, might then be spared the national
humiliation of reading police reports like tho
one we have noticed above.
