SOME ones SERVANT GIRL.

She stood there leaning YEARLY
Against the window frame,
Her face was patient sad and eweet,
Her garments coarse and plain.
''Who is she, pray P' 1 asked a friend;
The red lips gave a curl
Really don't know her name;
She's some ones servant girl
Again saw her on the street,
With burden trudged along,
Her face WAS sweet and patient still,
Among the jostling throng;
Slowly nut cheerfully she moved,
Guarding with watchfuleare
market basket much too large
For her slight hands to bear.
A man, Pd thought a gentleman,
Went pushing rudely by,
Sweeping the basket from her hands,
But turning not his eye
But there was no necessity
Amid that busy whirl
FOr him to be a gentleman
To some ones servant girl.
Ali well it is that God above
Looks in upon the heart,
And never judges any one
BY just the outer part;
For If the soul be pure and good,
He will not mind the rest,
Nor question what the garments were
In which the form was dressed.
And many man and woman fair,
BY fortune reared and fed
Who will not mingle here below
With those who earn their bread,
When they have passed away from life,
Beyond the gates of pearl,
viii meet before their Father throne
With many servant girl.

ST. Louis is to be congratulated on her
educational success. She has solved the
school problem, so far as the Bible question
is concerned, in the truly American way, by
completely .secularizing her education By
dropping the Bible out of the schools she
has effectually disarmed the majority of
those who are opposed to our public school
system, and defeated those who resorted to
every possible expedient to divide the
puehc funds among sectarian schools. Of
course there are plenty of Professionals who
JON with the Catholics in denouncing the
schools as goddess" there are plenty of
Protestants who consider nothing as
Christian which is not labeled such. and
would not recognize Christ himself were ne
10 come among them without a halo around
MS head. and would sooner the republic
should sink than that their sect should
suffer the least Infringement of its supposed
prerogatives. But happily the majority are
fast opening their eyes to broader and truer
views of religious as well as public policy;
and in st. Louis, though the Democrats
carried most of the wards in the late cleo.
tons, the board of education is Republican.
The city also has public school library of
twenty. thousand volumes, with an admir-
ably arranged reading room, for the use of
her school teachers and pupils.

A Queer Phase of the Chinese Character

A Queer Phase of the Chinese Character.
Chinaman wis sell his children, his
limbs, anything he has, even his life, for
money enough. Some years ago when one
OF our ships of the navy was going I'D to
Nankin, a Chinaman had his ankle SO badly
fractured and crushed by some accident
that the surgeon had to amputate it to save
his life. After the operation was over a
collection was taken up on board for the
benefit Of the poor fellow, and about a
hundred dollars was soon raised and paid
over to him. AS soon as the fact became
generally known the surgeon was besieged
by a host of "heathen Chinees," all willing
and anxious to sell their feet, limbs, ankles,
and all for 500 piece, or even less Rut
the demand for that article being rather
limited, he declined to invest even at that
very low rate
