We are already beginning to look to the
"coming man" from China for deliverance
from that least endurable of all evils OF the
day, inefficient menials. If any grave poll
tcal, social, or industrial wrong affiicts us,
we grapple with it at once, and cease not to
wrestle till we have overthrOwn it. If a
river crosses our path, we bridge 1t. If
bad government Cypress us, we change it
perhaps for worse one But the house
servant generalization is difficulty in the
presence OF which We are as helpless as in
the presence of an earthquake. We make no
effort to remedy il, but fold our hands in
despair, and let the servants do as they
please, since they will no no other way. BY
the common law, mans house is his castle
in which he may be secure from every,
trouble and vexation. But this is a case in
which the enemy have complete possession of
the castle itself, and as we have no other
refuge to flee to, we are forced to submit, as
prisoners of war, to whatever terms they pro-
pose.
Whether the Chinaman, as a mental, will
prove the right man in the right place, is
question we hardly think of asking. 1t we
could get him we would take him at once,
and risk the consequences. Any kind of de-
hverance from the household despotsm of
worthless menias would be agreeable The
Chinese dwell principally in cities and towns,
and are said to possess, in remarkable de-
gree, the tact, nimbleneSs' and faculty of
managing details that house servants require.
The old Biographies indeed, ascribed to them
q partialIty tor ragouts made of beasts that do
not fgaie in the price list of our family mar
ketng; but if they should fill the bill ii other
respects, we would no doubt, pardon the oc.
casiopal caprice of serving up baked rats and
roasted puppies, rather than return to the in
supportable bondage Of the present regime.
A LADY, a Sunday-Schoo teacher, cane to
us for some appropriate text tor the subject
OF the next lesson. which was, What doe.
the Bible teach about Heaven ?" We gave
her this: How that he was caught up into
paradise, and heard unspeakable words,
which 1t is not lawful for a man to utter"
Yet in the forereaching OF the soul toward
its hoped-tor home, it may be lawful to guess,
as it was rot lawful for st. Paul to reveal.
We know nothing. We are blankly ignorant
of what manner of place heaven NAV be,
yet that there, as well as here, one star differ
eth from another star in glory, and there is
social graduation; in other words chance
for promotion. But there may be an ecstacy
which is full fruitlon, and needs no hopes-a
peace, which, to us of this world, s.passeth
all understanding" Assuredly we do not
understand it now. All our ideas of the
hereafter are colored with the competitions
of this preparatory life.-Leisure Moments,

HE following story is told Of pretty little
Jewess in Detroit: "She loved poor young
man, but her parents, a year ago, forced her
TO marry rich, old one. She bore her grief
and a child, and recently resolved on suicide,
She swallowed some morphine and reflected:
then she swallowed four cups OF coffee and
rejected again; after that she drank glass
OF soda water and reflected third time. The
final result of her mental exercise was tho
opinion that she had better live and bear
Iaore g. let, and perhaps more children so she
tore up the letter she had written to her first
love, saw her physician, aud the next day was
about her housework as usual"
