The Chinese Movement.

Now, while Memphis is holding public
meetings inviting Chinese labor to the South,
the following protest against tho further i'm
portation Of these people into California, pub
lishcd by tho Anti. Coo!ic Association, is of
special interest
There are about 10000 Chinese in
California, 100000 of whom are in a
state of peonago or slavery, and arc rented out
by the company owning them to the various
parties by whom they are employed, in gangs
of from SO to 500, as they may be required
their wages being paid to the agent of the
company, who is responsible. for the perform
ance of their labor, aud for the return of the
slaves, dead or alive, in tho Celestial Empire.
The bulk Of the female portion of them are
scattered throughout our towns and cities, de-
moralizing our youth and laying the founda.
ton Of future disease aud sorrow to an unlim.
tied extent. The importation of these slaves
has already led to scenes Of conflict on our
wharvcs, between the rival companies owning
them, and threatens 10 assume gigantic pro.
PORTIONS. The employment Of these slaves
displaoes a like portion OF white labor, and
more particularly Of the rising generation.
There are in San francisco about 18, 900
to 10000 boys and girls, of from ten. to TWEEN
ty years Of aga, tho majority of whom are
brought up in id'oness, as there is no employ.
mont for them, aud'no opportunity for thei,
learning trades, ns ell the inferior work il
our mills, factories, stores, workshops, &c.,
that is elsewhere done by apprentices, is here
done by Chinese labor. The consequence is,
that our boys arc but preparing for the State
Prison, and q vast number os our girls must,
alas sink to the lowest depths Of degrade,
ton.
Hy the general employment ST this slave
labor In every branch Of industry, immigra.
ton Of deserving white lcople from tho Eas,
and Europe is retarded, and will ultimately
cease, while many now hero must leave. We
may instance the cigar makers, five hundred
of whom, with their families, who wore earning
good wages, and investing and spending them
hero 10 tho country, were compelled " years
ago to retire before tho Chinese labor and
leave tho State. III this connection it is
noticeable fact that the introduction Of cheap
labor has not chcapened the price Of o blaos et,
q cigar, or any other article Of home manu-,
%facture, one single cent to the consumer.
Tho employment Of Chinese labor on the
Central Pacific RAILROAD may have expedited
Its completion a few months, but we cohsend
that the injury done our State dan never 81
balanced BY tho gain in, timo. Had whit
labor been mployed,, hundreds Of aorss would

ASPIRATIONS.

Our aims are all too high, we try
Togain the summit at a bound,
When we should reach it step by step,
= And climb the ladder round by round
He who would climb the heights sublime,
OR breathe the purer air of life,
Must not expect to rest in ease,
But brace himself for toll and strife.
We should not in our blindness seek
To grasp alone for grand and great,
Disdaining every smaller good.
For trifles make the aggregate.
And if a cloud should hover Ger
Our weary pathway like pail,
Remember God permits it there,
And his good purpose reign's Ger all.
Life should be full of earnest work,
Our hearts undashed by fortunes frown;
Let perseverance conquer fate,
And merit seize the yictor's crown.
The battle is not to the strong,
The race not always to the fleet,
And he who seeks to pluck the stars
viii loose the jewels at his feet.

DIVINE MADNEss.-''Le us build such
church, that those who come after us shall
take us for madmen," said the old canon of
Seville, when the great cathedral was plan
ned. Perhaps through every mind passes
some such thought, when it first entertains
the design of some great and seemingly i'm
possible action, the end Of which it dimly
forsees This divine madness enters more
er less into all our noblest undertakings.

Cnow-CHow PloKLE.-A lady of taste in
such matters has kindly furnished us with
the recipe for making this popular pickle.
1t is probably the best thing in the line of
pickles which we have ever tasted The
recipe is for one gallon of pickle; for more
the quantities must be increased. of course
The ingredients consist of / peck of green
tomatoes; 1 large head Of cabbage; 6 large
onions; dozen cucumbers; ] pint grated
horse radish; J pound white mustard seed,
J ounce celery seed; few small onions; /
teacup of ground pepper, tumeric, and
ground cinnamon and little brown su-
gar Cut the cabbage, onions, and cucum-
bers in small pieces, and pack them down
in salt one night; then put them in vinegar,
and pour over hot. Do this three mornings;
The third morning mix one box of ground
mustard with one quarter pint of salad oil.
To be mixed in while warm.-Rich. Dis

WARP AND WooF.-In every scandal
there is warp and wool it is seldom that
some ground cannot be had to work upon !:
the wool may be, in fact, wholly perverted,
but upon it the liar may weave his warp, his
figure of detraction, of scandal; and it comes
out all in one piece, and no man can say
that there is not some truth in it, though, if
the truth were picked out, the lie would stand
by itself,

In Dresden there is an iron egg, the his
tory Of which is something like this: A
young Prince sent this iron egg to lady
to whom he was betrothed She received
it in her hands and looked at it with disdain.
In her Indignation that he should send her
snch gift, she cast it to the earth When
it touched the ground spring, cunningly
hidden in the egg, opened, and silver yolk
rolled out. She touched a secret spring in
the yolk, and golden chicken was revealed;
she touched spring in the chicken, and a
crown was found within she touched a
spring in the crown, and within it was found
a diamond wedding ring. There is moral
to this story, and that is, it will not do to
trust outward appearances.

A HINT TO MOTHERS IT you allow a child
to get into the habit of sleeping with its head
under the bed clothes, and thereby breath
ing its own breath over and over again, that
child will assuredly grow pale, weak and i'll.
Medical men have cases on record Of scrofu-
la appearing in children previously healthy,
which could only be accounted for from this
habit, and which ceased when this habit
stopped.

IDoLArRy .-Idolatry is not only an &C
counting and worshiping that for God which
is not God but it is also worshiping a true
God in way unsuitable to His nature. 1t
has its origin in the depravity of the human
heart men love sin and do not want to be
reproved for it; therefore, they form for
themselves god that a0M not reprove Mena
They want to sin with impunity and do not
like Holy God.

mo fLACE. "A great many boys and
young men complain that there is no chance
for them. They cannot get places Per-
haps it is hard to get just such as they like.
That is not the point, however. When you
get place-and there are places ; this big
country, am sure, has need of every good
boy, and girl, and man. and woman in it
when you get place, l say, make yourself
useful in it; make yourself necessary to en-
ployers, make yourself so necessary, by your
fidelity and good behavior, that they cannot
do without you. Be willing to take low place
at first no matter what the work if it is hon
est work. Do it well, do it the best you
can. Begin at the lowest round of the lad
der, and climb up. The great want any
where is faithful, capable workers.
They are never drug in the market
Make yourself one of these, and there will
always be place for you, and good one.
AN APT REpLY.-An old schoolmaster
said one day to a clergyman who came to ex-
anime his school, II believe the children
know the catechism word for word" 'But
do they understand it ? That is the question
said the clergyman The schoolmaster bowed
respectfully, and the examination began. A
little boy had repeated the fifth command
ment, Honor thy father and thy mother, /"
and he was desired to explain it, Instead
of trying to do so the little boy, with his face
covered with bushes, said almost in a whisp-
er, Yesterday showed a strange gentle
man over the mountain. The sharp stone
cut my feet, and the gentleman saw they
we're bleeding, and gave me some money to
buy me shoes. l gave it to my mother, for
she had no shoes, and thought I could go
barefoot better than she could"
