Treatment Of Horsigners in China.

The accounts from Europe relative 20 the
massacre Of French and German residents in
China corroborate the statements received at
San Francisco direct fIom that country. The
responsibility is directly charged on the Chi
ne.s Government, The mob was not only
melted by the Chinese Government but was
urged TO commit the atrocities. mob held
possession Of the French Consulate. maltreat-
ing all foreigners for days before blood was
shed, no efforts being made by the authori-
ties to restore order. The riot had continued
for three days before the French Consul was
murdered in the Government palace and the
wholesale slaughter began. A number of
Americans and English are missing. and it is
supposed they suffered the common fate and
that their bodies foated away in the river
Over 200 Christian Chinese converts were
massacred. correspondent briefly sums up
the outrages committed on the ladies in the
following extract:
The outrages that the females were subject
ed to before they were murdered are too sick
ening to relate. Every cruelty, says a cores
pendent, which 1t was possible for the most
savage barbarians 10 conceive of, was perpe-
trated on these defenseless Christian ladies'
door and was torn limb from limb. Nine sis
tiers were collected in large school-room,
beaten with sticks, their clothes torn from
their bodies, placed on their heads and cut
with knives in n most savage manner and out
ragged, their heads, lips and noses cut off, the
eyes scooped from their holes, their breasts
cut off. and their abdomens ripped open with
large cleavers, their limbs broken and in ten
minutes naught remained but their disfignred
bodies. When there was no more to do, fire
was applied and the buildings were burned.
Sixty or seventy children who had sought
refuge from the mob were burned to death.
The French cathedral, consulate. hospital,
and other buildings of all foreigners were
sacked and burned.
This is the nation to which the interests Of
labor in the United States have been sacri
feed by the Burlingame treaty. These muir
derous barbarians are guaranteed n welcome
and safety in America. while they are COM
mitting outrages against civilization and hui
mainly, which ought to result in their being
wiped out of the list of recognized nations.
To add to this perady the American Govern
ment has been solicited by the Chinese Gov |
eminent to act as the apologist and advocate |
OF these blood-thirsty heathens, and to stand |
between them and the nations whose VEN |
geance they have aroused. Instead of de- |
Tending the Chinese Empire. this Government |
ought to notify the Chinese authorities of the |
notification of the Burlingame treaty, to be |
followed by State or Congressional legislation, |
excluding every Celestial from the country.

What Have Noticed.

4 minister of the Gospel who has
closely watched the operation of giving
among our Churches, begs leave to
note the following as the result:
l. Churches in which a system of
giving to the cause of Christ has been
carried ont, contribute most literally to
benevolent objects.
,. Such Churches make the most
sure and rapid progress in supporting
themselves.
8. Churches who do little or nothing
for others, do the least for themselves
and those who do little or nothing for
their own pastors support, do little or
nothing for others, and are not likely
10 become self-sustaining
/. Churches which do most for Do
mestic Missions, generally do the most
for Foreign Missions.
;. Those Churches which plead that
- the applications are too many
would be pleased not to have any.
6. Churches which plead that char
ity begins at home" are the last to be-
ain II d1lylChCrC.
Z. Churches which are always plead
ing that the present is an UnfavOrable
time to make an application never
find a favorable time.
s. Those people who do not give Of
y
blesSedness of giving.
.. Those who do not give as the
Scriptures teach, cannot expect to re-
ceive the bleSsedness of Scripture pro
misses.
10. One reason why 50 many give
so little, and with fault-finding when
they do give, is because they give so
seldom.
II. No system of giving has, in its
simplicity and efficiency, equalled that
of tie Apostle Paul-"On the first day
of the week let every one of you lay by
him in store as God hath prOspered." =
-. The adoption of that plan would
Immediately give the Church all the
money it needs, and enable it to gofor-
ward i'm the work of the Lord.
Is. Ministers who do not instruct
their people in the duty of giving, and
urge il upon them, for fear their own
salaries will. not be paid, are the most
poorly supported, and thus reap ,rhot

Cost Of L0aferiSm.-&

Does the young man who persists in
being loafer ever reflect how much
less it would cost to be a decent, re-
spectacle young man? Does he imag-
inc that loaferism is more economical
than gentility" Anybody can be a
gentleman, if he chooses to be, without
much cost, but it is mighty expensive
being a loafer. 1t costs time in the
first place-days, weeks, months oft
i'll fact about all the time he has, for
no man can be Il first class Ioater with
out deVoting nearly his entire time to
IT. The occupation, we'll followed,
hardly affords time for eating, slecUinw
drive had almost said drinking, but
on reflection we will except that. The
lOateT finds time to drink Whenever in
vited. 1t costs friends. Once fully
embarked on the sea of lOafcrdonl. AID
you bid farewell to every friendly sail
that floats under al honest and Ieriti-
mate flag. Your cOnSOrts will only he
the buccaneers of society. 1t costs mo-
ney; for though the lOafcr may not
earn Il cent, or have one for months,
the time lost might have produced him
much money if devoted 10 industry i'll
stead of sloth. 1t costs health. vigor,
cOmtOrt-all the true pleasures of Iiv-
ing, honor, dignity, Self-respect, and
the respect of the world when living,
and finally, all regret or consideration
when dead. BE Il gentleman, then. it
l. far cheaper.

Physical treatment of children.

: The physical treatment of children is
important, but simple, if one wishes to
make it so. The main points are batl
ing, regularity Of eating and sleeping,
hours, simplicity of food, and out-of-
door exercise.
The habit of daily bathing should not
he sus. nnded when a shild is few
months old. 1t is very little trouble,
and done handily, takes very little
time. My experience has been that it
is not best TO bathe q child in entirely
cold water. When he is put for the
first time III Il bath-tub, the water
should be of such temperature that
he may not perceive the transition Of
the air to the water. There are, OTdi-
naTily, but two causes for this, either
that the child was not introduced to
the bath-tub early enough in his eXis-
anCc, or that the temperature of the
water was such as to shock him. When
your baby is thoroughly accustomed to
the tub, you can gradually reduce the
temperature of the water until, after 81
few months, you can wash him in al
most cold water.
y child should eat regularly and sim
ply, but should have some variety of
food. I have found that a child soon
tires Of one article if fcOntined to il.
Broad and. milk, br,ad and butter,
STCTf forms OF toasted bread, boiled
f&lfny, India mush, cracker panada,
simple preparations of corn starch, rice
boiIeJ in milk, and roasted potatoes,
makes Il sufficient variety. Give your
child plenty of exercise in the open air.
If you live in the city, all | can say is,
do the hest you can but if you live in
the country, with space about you and
gates well secured, put your child out
of doors and let him wander about at
his Will. In summer, leave him out all
day if he enjoys it; in winter, wrap
him up, and send him out in moderate
aud pleasant weather.
Let him get as dirty as lac pie Ises.-
His face will he kept pretty clean if he
spends enough time in the open air to
prevent his taking bad colds, and il
you do not allow him to eat between
meals.

I had an acre fenced around
\ little modest piece of ground
My father gave me, and made,

Working while others danced and played,
To cultivate my acre.
I sowed my seed-a little store; A.
So little! But had no more.

The harvest will be mine alone:
The grain reaped on my acre"
Then came the snow, and waters cold
the stormy winds like cannon rolled,
For four long years, and in that blaStT -
The stOutest trees fell thick and fast
Around my little acre. ~
But nothing harmed it. Sping-time came :,
On every side, like yellow flame,
B!aZed butteTcupS; and earlyybuds
Make pictures in the IaughingEyoodS
Birds Sang, heard the noise OfYhoOds
Around my smiling %cre. r
I smiled, and hoped on as befov
My good friends sneered, an no more,
Looking upon me with disd
But sOOu my little field of grapSSS
Laughed in the flashing sum41er rain

I reaped, and now my grain is N5read;

My bread, declare 1t light and sweetH
