4 TROUBLED MONGOLIAN.


Mr.. Wan Lee, OF the Ontario
street laundry, has not left Cleveland,
although he has not appeared of late
in the newspapers. The fact is that
Mr.. Lee has devoted himself strictly to
business during the last six or eight
months, and has thereby amassed a
small amount of cash, which is designed
to be expended in carrying him again
to his native land, over the salt, salt
sea. But before leaving it is simply
an act Of Justice to state that Mr.. Lee
has attempted faithfully to submit TO
the heathenism of this benighted
try, and if he does not carry away a
fair impress of hospitality or feelings
Of love toward Brother Jonathan, the
fault has not been his, but that of the
angular brother, on whose bosom he
attempted to lean. But it will be sim
ply al act of justice to friend Wan to
allow him to explain his own feelings,
as he did on Saturday last in converse
ton with a Leader reporter. He IN
burdened himself as follows:
"Me no likee dam Mclean man.
Mclean man comes in my laundry,
spittee on floor, chew, chew. Bringee
shirtee, say, Trust, Wan Lee?' Wan
Lee say, No trust !; trust dead Nell
a man say, 'Rat-eater, / punchee.'
Punchee Wau Lees head, pull his pig
tail. Wan Lee runs chop-chop head
to fleece officer. Fleece officer say,
Cheap John one, two, three -
bounce Shakee me pig-tail and says
Climb Wan Lee climbs-comee
home. Mclean man steals shirt, and
he climb, too"
Wan Lee attempted 70 go to Sunday
school, and his story is as follows:
Me go On Sunday day to Joss
house. Me takee %settee, and Mclean
mans boyee come along. Boyee say,
Here's China More boyee come.
Pull pig-tail and say, Bully for
Chinee man. Me get mad and swear.
Fleece officer comee long, takee me to
station. Payee fvee dolce and sixty
cents; go home TO wash, wash. Say,
Dam Mclean country
Me then go on street car. Mclean
woman look at me and laughee loud.
One speakee low. Him mig One
speakee low, too, and say, Hin rat
eater Ne gettee mad and say, Me
Chinaman-me washee-washee. Me no
mig. No mig. lie 10 ~rat-eater. Big

Mclean say, Dirty China
suited me- Conductor he takes my
stampees, and lie say, Get Wah Lee
gets, fall on the ground, and breakee
nose; officer comes up he say, dunk

He say, Too thin Takee me by col

Here again, Chinee?' Ne go out,
pay ten dolce and fifty cents. Me go
home madee-red hot madee-bleak
dishes, shave off pig-tail, buy plug hat,

And this was Wan Lees first deter

sidered it, gone back TO his trade, and
still washes and irons as of DID,

Rest.

How sweetly sounds the word TO
those who have toiled day after day
through the week. From early dawn
to darkening eve, toiling for the loved
ones at home. Work, work. work.
Press on, though nerves and muscle can
scarcely give motion 10 the weary
limbs. IT will not do TO give up. Cour.
age! another day is past, another sun
has set. A few more and The blessed
day of rest will give reposc TO weary
limbs. Renew the contest. Well done.
The week is past, the Sabbath dawns.
"There is rest for the weary" The dun
clouds of adversely are forgotten, for
around, the wife and children gather
and father and mother are made happy.
The sun mounts up; the Sabbath bell
calls the children to the Sunday school.
Leaving father and mother to enjoy the
peaceful home, they run away to the
house Of God, and there learn what
great things the Lord has done. Still
higher mounts the sun. And nov the
ringing bells from every sleeple peal the
call to prayer. Old men and matrons,
young men and maidens go forth with
quiet steps aud thankful hearts to hear
the story of the Cross. The evening
comes on. Happy, peaceful groups
gather on the pazzas, vcrandas, in shade
and quiet seats, till dewy eve lets fall the
curtain Of the night and gems it with
the myriad stars Rest. The man OF
labor is refreshed; his muscles brawny
have again been strongly knit. With
thanks to the Great First Cause, the
Lord Of all, he retires TO his humble
bed, and sleeps sweet restorer, draws
the sting of every care. Renewed, re-

It is the duty of local committees to
make the preparation necessary. to render
these meetings successful. 1t is due Mr..
Dunncll and the public whose servant he
has been, and is, that he have fair hear
ing. 50 far a. wc are aware, there is but
a single charge made against Mr.. Dun
nell. In his course Of nearly four years
in Congress, not a single vote or act is
questioned or criticised except tho one
aclating to the increase of salary. Where
among public men, will you find another
whose record is so consistent, and whose
action has been so uniformly wise. If a
man in taking action upon five hundred
different questions makes but a single
mistake, shall the four hundred and
ninety-nine righteous deeds balance not
grain, and the one fault, with the
weight Of a milestone, press its author
below the surface Of the political sea,
never to rise again: The people do not
thus estimate the value Of public service.
They expressed their disapprabation of
the salary act and bowling to the express
ion Of their will, Mr.. Duanell gave him.
self to the work of repeating the act. It
was repealed, and no issue survives the
settlement Of that question. Whoever
raises it hereafter, docs so in the interest
ofself, or for the purpose Of personal de-
traction. It had no party significance or
coloring, and all individual responsibility
ty, if any ever attached, was merged in
the willing effort to restore the old law.
Henccforward let the campaign he one
of principles, not one Of personalities
Let it be conducted with q view of sccur-
ing the highest degree of governmental
excellence, not of building up the polite
al fortunes of one man on the ruins of an
other. Denude the struggle in this dis
trict, Of all personal consequences, and
there is nothing lett for the opposition to
stand upon, and it is idle for them to sup
pose that q man of Mr.. Dunncll's ability
and usefulness is to be killed by ridicule
or deposcd from the public regard by IN
appeal to popular prejudices. Men sell
dom die in that way, or suffer very con.
silcrab!v.
