see, no clothes but what have been given

for the law is abolished enforcing a man-a
free man--to fulfill any contract" So the ir-
responsible laborer starts uptown to see
what the chances are for getting money by
selling opium or beer.
We ask those In favor of irresponsible
labor. what injustice there is done to the
Chinaman BY going TO his country and max
ing fair bargain with him, at his own price,
and in terms to which he agrees of his own
free choice, to come over and labor here for
five or ten yegrs, and be returned 10, his
own country. he would get better pay than
he could get at home, and have no harder
work, aad be better fed, and, most likely,
not be corrupted In morals- In what is he
damaged? How is he outraged To deny
him this chance. is to debar him from his
rights as free man So much for Free, or
Irresponsible, labor. Now for indorsing the
labor policy of the planters. Only a few
words are necessary on that point.
ResOlued, 8. That We support the Board OF
Immigration in Bringing cheap labor here,
under contract, provided such contract ends
by returning such laborers TO their own land.
Now We ask, Mr.. Perversion, if that in
dorses the planters policy. lift does, please
show how. The planters policy is TO con-
tract for laborers on their own account, and
turn them loose on the community at the
end of the contract. Our policy is to have
the Board of Immigration contract with free
laborers, and have the contract expire IN the
laborer's native land, and not form an Asiatic
colony Of the Islands. So far as obliging a
man to fulfill his contract goes,-both mas
ter and seryant,-we stand by that. So far
as that indoTses the planters policy,
we indorse it. You might as well
have said We indorse the existing laws.
Please don't try TO saddle anything on
US that does not belong to US. If you do not
like the cut of mans coat, your dislike
does not give you the right to throw mud
balls at him. And if you are describing a
man dressed in plain clothes, it is not truth
full to describe him otherwise.

In our estimable and always reliable,
Friend of the 1st inst, we have an account
of the labors OF Mr.. Aheong, among the
Chinese of Maui, as follows:
Ever since been work on Maui, the
Chinese came out to meeting, as well as last
year, but cannot see any one of them have
the new heart yet; every one tries to do
their own business, to gain money and pro-
perry, but they seem no care about how their
souls wonId be. See how foolish they are. "
1t win be observed that the result of his
investigation is, that the Chinese on Mani
are extremely frugal and prudent which, as
far as they go, are commendable virtues.
On Hawaii, this gentleman gives the follow
ing:
Zone of the encouraged thing which
know of here, / think you shall be glad to
hear ii. In conversation with one China
man. he told me that be has give up Of bis
old idea of the Chinese worship, and turn
his heart to look upon the only true God in
Heaven, and trust by the name Of Jesus
Also he says, i pray when / sit down to eat,
and before 90 10 bed, and get up in the
mornings, ask God to forgive my sins, and
save my SOUL was so glad to hear that
man say so, so We want to keep watch on
him, If be is surely being born again. | got
to 20 away and keep moving among my
counfrymen from plantation to plantation.
Ny health is not very good, but / trusted in
God 10 help the work of bis poor servant.
May God bless you, through the name Of
Jesus Christ. Respectfully yours,
s. 2. AHEoss"
This is certainly encouraging, though
worldly minds would improperly weigh the
amount Of expense against the resulting
good

AN OLD MANJscRIPr.-At Upsala, in
Sweden, there is a curious and renowned old
MS, commonly known as the Silver Hand
writing. 1t is translation of the Bible in
10 the original Gothic, and the best authori
ties claim that it was written toward the
end of the fifth or the commencement of the
sixth century. 1t was discovered in the
sixteenth century, at Verden, on the Ruhr,
aud its authenticity was at once established.
1t was taken to Prague, but the Swedes
took it away in 1648, and carried it to
Stockholm; thence it was taken into Holland,
and was brought back again for Sweden by
the Chancellor de Ia Gardie, for S4OO. He
had it maen fcently beuud in a solid silver
& .ver and in 1869 presented it to the Uni
versity of Upsala. 1t is written in silver on
c imson parchment. The headings and
few principal passages are in gold. II is
rich in Byzantine tracery of symbol de-
vices. 1t numbers $50 leaves. with 20 lines
to each dage. Only two punctuation marks
are used throughout-the period and the
colon.
