TWO CEkRrsIIANS.

Two Christians Travelled down a road,
Who saw the world with different eyes
The one was pleased with earths abode,
The otner longing for the skies.
For one the heavens were 90 blue
tn filed his mind with fancies fond;
The others eyes kept piercing through
Unto the Land that lies beyond.
For one, enchanting were the trees,
The distance was diyiDely dim,
The birds that fiuttered on ths breeze
Nodded their pretty heads foc him.
The other scarcely saw the flowers,
And never knew the trees were grand;
He did not count the days and hours
Til he might reach the promised land.
Aud one little kind earess
Would to u tender rapture move;
H only ope,i his lips 10 bless
The God that gave him things to love.
The other journeyed on his way,
AfrfiI to handle or to touch;
He only oped ms lips to pray
He might not love thing too much.
Which was the best Decide who can.
Yet why sho'd we deci e 'twixt thenl
We may approve the moulnful man,
Nor yet the joyful man o0uiemn.
He is Chris ran Who has found
That earth as well rs heaven is sweet,
Nor less is he, who, heaven-bound,
Has spurnel the earth beneath his feet.

THE San Francisco EIHHa1sT says: The
time for harvesting is fast approaching, and
already numbers of farm hands are seen
starting for the country, where better induce

The farmers offer to pay almost any price to
white men in preference to the almond-eyed
Calestisls. Here, in San Francisco, the es-
Establishments heretofore employing Chiuamen
have supplanted them by white labor. and II
