A child of Joseph Mustard, who re

Hamilton, near the New London Pike,

contained four. feet of water. Mr..
Mustard descended to the bottom OF

child, when to his surprise he found
the little fellow clinging TO the pump

A Chinese Death Bed.

THE Chinese have many customs pecu-
liar TO their nation, which strike the
outside barbarian" as being unnatural
and strange. Their religious traditions
are so deep-rOoted and so strongly foster
ed by superstition as to give little en-
couragement to missionary laborers. The
most striking of these superstitions are
those pertaining to the disposition of their
dying and dead relatives. Very often the
dead bodies of Chinese men and women
are found in untenanted buildings in the
Chinese quarter of this city, and those un-
acquainted with their superstitions are
prone to set the desertiOns ofdying friends
down as acts of selfshness. This, how
ever, is not so, as the Chinese believe that
if persons die in house that they lived in
before death, their spirits will haunt the
place ever after, and give unpleasant evi-
dence of their presence to all who remain
In order to prevent the manifestations of
the restless spirit, as soon as the doctor
gives it as his opinion that patient can
not survive he is taken to another place
and left alone to die. Yesterday q case of
this kind was reported to the Coroner. A
young Chinawoman, who had been given
up by her attending physician, was carried
b. her relatives to an untenanted house
in Ellis Place, off Pacific, above DUPONT.
They then dressed her in her best cloth
ing, spread a new mating on the floor,
and laid her on it. They brought in pre-
serves, meats, fruits, candies, boiled rice,
etc, lighted some punks and retired, leav-
ing her alone to await the coming of the
common destroyer During the day she
died, and was found last night. Coroner
Litterman removed the body, and it is
rou- Of tho NOr0ua awaiting the further
action of the relatives, who viii probably
leave her to be disposed of by the city, as
is generally their practice in all such cases.
Many Chinamen-those of the wealthy
classes-do not desert their dead friends,
and for the furtherance of this desire
there are several hospitals fitted up, IN
order that those about to die may be re-
moved there until they have paid the debt
of nature, after which they are buried with
all the ceremonies of the disciples of Con-
fucius.-Sdn Francisco Bulletin.

Let Well Enough Alone.

Is there young man or woman in the
country who is impatient to have q com.
Portable home, kind and true friends, OF
means of gaining a livelihood-to travel
to the city in quest of grander opportuni.
ties-some place where their love of dis
play and excitement can be gratifed, in
stead of plodding along in the seclusion
of the country?
We would say to him or her, do not
come with too sanguine hopes of success.
Good situations do not go a begging, and
coming without money or friends in search
of work is oft attended with sufferings in
mind and body.
In the great, bustling city nobody cares
what becomes of one stranger, and you
might walk from morning till night and
scarcely receive kind word of encour-
agement. People are intent upon their
own pursuits, and have so many applica-
tions for work and help for the needy,
that the addition Of one more to the num-
Der of suffering ones is not felt by any"
body. Not that everybody in town is sell
fish and uncharitable.
MANY kind hearted man or woman
would give you money for nights lodg-
ing, or to buy something to eat; but you
are no begger-you ask for work and are
too proud 10 receive charity. They have
no work for you, and perhaps you may go
hungry many a day before you find
place, and then, in desperation, accept
situation you would be too proud to take
in the country.
Working on q farm is much easier than
the life of city clerk, who must work
twelve, fourteen, often sixteen hours
day, in close, dark rooms, year in and year
out, always the same drudging life. ID.
You long to see lifel Stay where you
are, even if you imagine yourself very
miserable Such misery is joy compared
to the struggles. privations, desperations
and crimes which wear and weigh upon
the darkened spirits Of the multitudes
who have come before you.
You might succeed, be very happy, and
make a great fortune; but, dependent up
on your own efforts, all alone, unaided by
the counsel of kind parents and the COM
panionship of friends, the chances are de-
cidedly against you.-ElH OrIOa.

Keep Away from the Wheels.

Little Charles Williams lived near a
mandatory, and he was very fond of
going among the workmen and the young
people who were at work there. The fore
man would say to him: Keep away from
the wheels, Charlie" Charlie did not
mind, and would often say: Il can take
care of myself" Often he would go near,
and the wind of the wheels would almost
suck him in, and two or three times he
grew so dizzy that he scarcely knew which
way to go At length, one day he stag
gered while amid the wheels, and fell the
wrong way; the band caught his little
coat and drew him in, and he was dread
fully msngled.
So it is, boys, when you 60 in the way
of temptation: you may think you can
take care of yourselves, and keep clear Of
the wheels; but oh you may find your
selves dresdfully mistaken. Before you
are aware of it, you may be caught and
destroyed. Keep away from the wheels.

THE AILLERs OF LABORTOWN.
By REV. 7. NIELD.

By REV. T. EIELD.
THERE lived three millers in Labortown,
Each owning big stone mill
On stream where the waters tumbled down
From the rapids beneath the hill,
With roar beneath the hill.
First Simon Coon was an easy soul,
And nothing disturbed old Coon; s.-
And often ne watched the big wheel roll,
And he smooked his pipe till noon;
And that was his work ill noon.
At noon he complained it was go hot,
And half dozed the hours away;
Then al night was sad to think Of what
he might have done that day
Each beautiful summers day.
Next, Moses Jay was a restless man;
or fortune dreamt old Jay.
And every morning he had plan
For grist of gold that day,
That be meant TO grind that day.
Great things be was Just about to do,
When the mill was wrecked ON his hands,
And his life -grist only amounted to
A ssckful Of worthless plans,
Though gold was in all his plans. --e
Then Jacob spry was thrifty man, ,s 81.
And bright life had old Spry; t.
BE planned his work, and he worked each plan,
And had rom very boy,
For man was in the boy.
His days went on like the water-wheel,
So busy, and steady, and true.
And never day was allowed to steal
Away without something to do,
Ano that Ae would always do.
Who knows the millers of Labortowni
Who do you think they could bel
Just lend us an ear and sit right down,
And Wen tell of all the three,
Until you know all the three. -..4 ~
The boy who viii waste life's golden day,
Its morning and then its noon,
Who, when he should study or work, will play,
Is little old Simon Coon
A thriitless and worthless Coon.
The boy who's always going TO do
Some wonderful things each day,
Yet finds each night hfs plans fall through,
Why, he Is old Moses Jay
A simple, chatteriDg jay.
But he who is up with the rising sun,
And, before the day goes by,
Has his grist Of study or work well done,
Is thrifty old Jacob Spy
A steady and true old Spry.
The world has no use for an idle Coon,
Nor yet for Jay Of q boy,
But in It's heart there are warmth and room
For every industrious Spry,
And its blessing will fall on Spry.

John ClaybrOOke submitted the res

WASHINGTON, May 4. By the
President of the United States Ol
America-A proclamation. An act Oi
Congress, entitled, "an act TO enforce
the provisions of the I4th amend
meut 20 the constitution of the United
States aud other purposes Ap-
proved April %, A. ID. 1871. Being q
law of extraordinary public impOr-
tanCe, I consider it my duty to issue
this my proclamation, calling the at
tentiOn Of the people Of the United
States thereto, and eDjOining upon all
good citizens, and especially upon the
public officers, to be jealous in the en-
fOrcement thereof, and warning all
persons 70 abstsin from committing
any act thereby prohibited by the law
OF Congress, which applies to all parts
OF the United States, and viii be
enforced everywhere to the extent
of the power vested 10 the Executive
Inasmuch as necessity therefor is
Well-knOWn to have been caused
by persistent violation of the rights of
citizens Of the United States by COM
binations Of lawiess and disattected
persons In certain localities Of in
surrecti0u and military conflict. I
do particularly exh0rt the people in
these parts of the country To- suppress
all such com biuahOns by their own
voluntary effort through the agency of
local laws, and maintain the tights OF
ali citizens OF tine United States and
secure to an such citizens the equal
protection OF the laws. Fully ysensiDle
of the responsibility imposed upon
the Executive by an act of Congress,
70 which pnbliC attention is now
called, and reluctant call into exercise
any eXtraOrdinOry powers there
by conferred upon me, except
in cases of imperative necessity,
I do nevertheless deem it my
duty to make known that
4 will not hesitate to eXhauste powers
thus vested in the Executive when
ever and wherever it shall become
necessary TO do so, for the purpose Of
securing TO all citizens of the United
States the peaceful enjoyment Of the
rights guaranteed them by the COnsti-
tuition and laws. 1t is my earnest
wish that peace and a cheerful Obedi-
ence to law may prevail throughout
the land, and that all traces o our
late unhappy civil strife may be
speedily removed. These ends can
be easily reached by scquiescence in
the results of the conflict, now written
in our Constitution, aud by due and
proper enforcement Of equal, Just
and impartial laws in every part Of
our country. The failure of local
communities 10 furnish such means
for the attainment of results
so earnestly desired imposes upon
the national government the duty
OF putting forth all its energies for the
protection of its citizens Of every race
and color, and for the restoration of
peace and order throughout the entire
country.
In testimony whereof, i have here
INTO set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States 10 be affixed.
Done at the city Of Washington, this
the third day OF May, in the year of
our Lord 1871, and independence Of
