Among the Chinese Beggars.

Like most classes of laborers in China, the beggars are very clannlsh, and are associated together in guilds, all of which have their head-men, who exercise species of control over them. These head-men are well-known, and are registered at the office of the magis- trate. They were originally appointed by the authorities to lessen the trouble of keeping the beggars in order, and they have now become 8 recognized inc stitution, and their offices is, we have heard, hereditary in certain families. Like numbers of other Chinamen, who, outwardly at least, hold a respectable position in life, these worthies live on perquisites, and the contributions of the fraternities which they superintend. In the "Social Life of the Chinese" we find an amusing account of the manner in which the affairs of the beg gars are regulated. "A head-man of the beggars," we are told, "may make an agreement with the shopkeepers, merchants, and bankers within his dis trict, that beggars shall not visit their shops, warehouses, and banks, for money, for stipulated time, and the beggars of the locality are obliged to conform to the agreement. Religious mendIcants, refugees, exiles, &c., from other provinces, who take to begging for a living, do not come under these regulations. The head-man receives from each of the principal business firms, with which he can come to an agreement, sum of money as the price of exemption from the importunities of beggars and in proof of this arrange ment he gives strip of red paper, on which is written or printed sentence to the effect that the brethren must not come here to disturb or annoy This paper is pasted up in conspiou- ous part of the shop or bank, and the money is taken away and professedly distributed among the beggars cou- cerned, though there is little doubt that their chief appropriates the lions share to his own use. After a business man has made this agreement with the head-man of the beggars, should any local beggar apply for the usual pit tance, it is only necessary to point to the red slip of paper and bid him be- gone. If he will not depart at once, he may be beaten with impunity by the master of the establishment, which beating the latter would not dare to give unless he had proof of an agree ment at hand and it IS said the head man might, if the beggar repeatedly violated the agreement, fog or beat the culprit to death, and no notice would be taken of the matter by the higher authorities.

 Why, bless me, I'm seventy-twol We'll, yes, twas quite long time ago. Perhaps some sixty odd years or 80. But the years they go like flash, you see,
 When body is young and gay, And before you know it, Old Time comes up And sprinkles our heads with gray; And the eyes that were once 50 strong and
 bright Grow wearily dim in the fading light. An, well there's one comfort for us, my dear, And I've always found it so: There are plenty of little ones in the world To care for the old, you know. There are plenty of strong young hearts to
 bear And lift from the old full many care. There's pair of merry dark eyes, know,
 That will lend their aid to me, And dear little girl who will gladly help,
