was, not that he worked hard, early and
late, for he did not labor as hard as many
men who remain poor all their lives, but
that he worked ~intelligently, and that all
his energies were turned to making his farm
better. He did not 90 into outside specu-
lative ventures, nor attend races and shows,
but obeyed the injunction which was in
scribed on the first copper coin of the Uni
ted States, and which 1t would be well to
keep before the people In the same way
now, "Mind your own business" To such
a man, asking about the advisability OF
coming TO California, / should say, 'Come
by all means come. You will be rich In o
few years." But to the man who has no
money, 1 would give the opposite advice.
He has been tried In the New England
school, and found wanting. This coast Is
flooded with
MEN WITHOUT MONEY,
who live, heaven only knows how. The
same unthrift, the same lack OF brains
which kept them poor in the East keeps
them poor here. A few men with trades
and an unyielding flrmness to resist the
temptations to gamble and drink are doing
better here than they would East. But
those who, either because they are inferior
workmen or because of unsteady habits,
are idle half the time, will never succeed.
Idleness is more expensive here than any
where else, because the SAME circumstances
which make wages high make everything
else high.

New ENGLAND as a Home.

A Nevada correspondent of the Boston
Journal makes some statements and com-
ments on New England farms and farming,
which our readers may find useful az we'll
as interesting. He writes:
Scattered all over New England are men
who feel dissatisfied, and think their own
is the hardest section of our great country
TO get a living in. Though | shall speak of
other occupations more or less, l propose
TO address this letter chiefly to farmers, of
which class there are a great many In New
England disposed to sacrifice their farms
and property at a disadvantage and seek a
better cline. And first let,me say that the
young man who cannot make q living and
lay by a little money every year in New
England will not do it anywhere, and the
family man who c%annotl comfortably sup
port his family there cannot do 1t elsewhere.
They are not made CT the right kind of stuff
10 succeed, and succeed they will not. This
class can never do any better than to stay
where they are, for the cost of moving, no
matter where they go, will be a dead loss
every time. Such, and all who have chill
dren growing up, If they ego West" as 30
many feel inclined, will regret the step.
The reason of this in the first case is, that
nature always rewards intelligence, indus
try and perseverance, in New England as
well as elsewhere, and without those quail
tiles lite would be a worse failure on this
coast than anywhere else. And if one has
children TO bring up, his fret and most sa-
cred duty to them, to humanity, to his
country, and to God, is TO take that course
which will make them the best and most
useful citizens. Nowhere can this be done
TO better advantage than in New England,
whose schools and whose society are the
best In the world. Every youth or maiden,
exposed TO the pernicious society and loose
ideas of morals which prevail on the Pa
ci6c coast, is in deadly peril. Then the
VALUE OF HEw ENGLAND ARMS.
Is greater than the prices asked or paid for
them, because proper cultivation will make
them as productive as any in the world.
The same study, tact and shrewdness that
are used in every other branch of business
would make farming in New England the
most profitable occupation. In my own
native Vermont the number of people who
are giving up their farms and going West
is great. Yet in that state, and on the most
rigorous northern border of 1t, / have seen
a man take a small tract of land which was
considered almost worthless, without cap
1tal, and In a few years, without any out
side income, pay for the land, erect sub
stantlal buildings and have ready money for
all his wants. The secret Of his success

The Lost Found.

Fifty or sixty years ago it was the
custom for gentlemen wishing servants
to visit emigrant ships as soon as they
arrived in port. Selecting the man or
woman who pleased them, they would
pay his or her passage money, about
seventy or eighty dollar~ to the cap
tain, agreeing to give thu ervant cloth
ing and board, and at the end of three
years service, twenty or thirty dollars,
One day, gentleman, man of for
tune, residing in Philadelphia, went on
board an emigrant ship to hire girl,
or purchase her time," as it was then
called. He selected one, and was shown
her father. The old man was anxious
to go with his daughter, and after some
persuasion the gentleman purchased
his time. "Well, now," said the old
man, "here's my old wife; take her
also." There was something so attrac-
tive in the countenance of the old
woman that the gentleman bought her
time.
Going together to the registers office
to complete the bargain, the gentleman
was surprised to find the name which
the emigrants gave was spelt and pro-
nOuncod like his own. Inquiries ended
in discovering that he had bought the
time of his own father and mother.
When six years old, son of the old
folks had been taken to America by
gentleman, and they had lost all knowl-
edge of him; indeed, they had almost
forgotten they had son in America.
They recolected, however, that their
boy had figure of cucumber on one
of his shoulders. The newly found son
was stripped in the office, and, to the
delight of the aged couple, there was
the birth. mark.

These two articles have more con.
nectiOn in the mind of Cantonese thar
they have among people in this country
Here, the first is associated chiefly with
the noise and license of Fourth of July
when boys have the annual privilege OF
firing them off; and the second is
known for the convenience they afford
in lighting cigars. But among the
Chinese, fire-crackers and fireworks
are used in worshiping the gods, and
to drive off evil and hungry spirits
which may be prowling about the
house; while joss-sticks are lighted to
invite genial influences from the gods
by pleasing them with the smoke of
fragrant incense.
The names for fire-crackers, HANG
pGO, and pao chan, means sonorous
cracklings, and cracking bamboos
the latter term is given from their re-
semhlance in size to the little twigs of
that plant. There is a proverb among
the people, zone explosion OF fireworks
does away with the old Year." which is
explained by the following legend:
Ii Man lived in the hills, and the
house of his neighbor, old Chung, was
continually infested with elves. Man
sent him every morning and evening to
hall to burn bamboo sticks, whose
cracking alarmed them so that they let
him sleep in quiet till morning. On
this account people have since used
fireworks to terrify the spirits, 80 that
no malicious ones may mar the harmony
Of the coming New Year; crackers are
also let off whenever an enterprise, as
a voyage or a journey, is undertaken
not so much to get good luck to attend
it, as to drive away all evil from hinder
ing It,"
Fire crackers are made of coarse
bamboo paper rolled around a little
gunpowder and a match of paper rs a
fuse to fire it. They are always covered
with red paper, because that is the color
of joy among the Chinese, and are ex-
ploded on every festive or important
ocsasion. The bride steps into her gay
sedan, and gets out to enter her hus-
bands house, amid their cracking;
and when they both first bow before
the ancestral tablet, 1t warns malicious
spirits to retire far away. The sailor
burns them as he weighs anchor, and
invokes favorable winds. The annual
offerings at the ancestral tomb are pre-
sented amid their cracking, and its in
mates left In repose for the coming
year with the same salute. The public
courts are closed and the official seal
put away during the new year holidays
under the same auspices; while In each
household the god of the kitchen Is thus

The most fallacious ideas prevail re-
specting leisure. People are always
saying: "I would do so and so If only
had little leisure. Now, there is no
condition in which the chance of doing
is less than the condition of leisure.
The man fully employed mag be able to
crafty his good disposition by impro-
wing himself or his neighbors, or
serving the public In some useful way !;
but the man who has all his time to dis
pose of as he pleases, has but poor
chance indeed of doing so. To do, in
creases the capacity of doing, and it is
far less difficult for a man who is in an
habitual course of exertion to exert
himself little more for an extra pur-
pose, than for the man who does little
or nothing to put himself in motion for
the same end.
Let no one cry for leisurcthat he may
be able to do anything. Let him rather
pray that he may never have leisure.
If he really wishes to do a good thing
he will always find time to doit, by
properly arranging his other employ
ments.
There is reluctance in everything
to be set a-gOlng, but when that IL got
over, then everything goes smoothly
enough. In fact, 1t may be said that to
ask for leisure or time to do an ordinary
thing, is equivalent to aconfesslon that
we are Indifferent about doing 1t,

I dismissed on his journey to report on
the conduct of Its members to Shangli
the Supreme Ruler. But the demand
for this miniature artillery is greatest
on New Years Eve, when the Who'll,
empire resOunds with its deafenina
noise amid the lanes and streets of the
cities. In Canton City, their consump.
tion is so great that the streets are red
with the fragments which the farmer
sweeps up to use as manure.
The consumption of fire cracker:
among the Chinese as may readily be
inferred, is enormous, for they enter
into all their religious acts, and many
of the customs of daily life. The export
is more than 1900 tons annually, OF
which perhaps 800 tons come to this
country. How could American boys
get through Fourth of July without
them?
Joss sticks derive their name from
the effort of the Canton shopkeeper to
describe to his foreign customer the
incense sticks often seen burning on
the counter. He knew that idols of
every kind were called joss by the POr-
tuguese at Macao, derived from their
word diOS or God and corrupted in his
mouth to jOSS) aud so he summarily
called incense sticks, Gods sticks, as
the phrase most likely to be understood.
On the same principle, he calls temple
a joss house; the Sabbath joss day; for
eign or native priests, joss man; and
worship of any kind, joss pidgin. All
these words he supposed to be good
English, and therefore they will be
clearly understood by the foreigner.
Incense sticks are usually made of
needle-like slips of bamboo which are
covered with composition of sawdust
and clay in fine powder. The best kind
are made of sandal, garoo, or other
fragrant woods reduced to powder;
the cheaper and common sorts are of
fir, cedar, juniper, etc. On the altar
before every idol an open jar or vase of
bronze, crockery or iron, contains in
Cense sticks in one form or other con-
stantly burning. Another way OF max
ing them is to mix the dust with glu-
tinOus water and clay, and roll the
into quill-shaped strip,
uniform in size throughout. 1t is some
times ten or twelve feet long, and is
then coiled into a sort of conical roll
by wire; it burns SO regular
ly that it is marked off into certain dis
tances to indicate the hour of day; and
in fact one name for this kind means
"time incense" from its double use as a
time-keeper and an offering to the gods.
1t is only this kind which is exported
for the convenience of segar smokers,
but the native manufacturer probably
supposes that his foreign customers
burn them for the same purpose that
he does. Incense sticks are also made
of powdered artemisia mixed with clay,
and burned to drive away mosquitoes,
which the smoke does etfectually.-N.

A Good Indian Story.

A party of five amateur huntsmeI
left the city yesterday for the mountains
to be gone about a month, and another
party of four returned home day before
yesterday. The latter had intended tC
stay out longer, but the Indians in theil
vicinity began to grow exceedingly
saucy, and to make demands for small
things in tone which, it was thought
indicated that they might, if provoked
help themselves, AND the hunters there
fore broke camp, intending to stop
awhile at a point near home, but after
they got on the back track they came
through without much delay. Speak
ing of the Indians, the party tell a
funny story Of their main camp. One
hot day one of them went to creek not
far distant to have a bath, taking with
him his rifle. He had removed his gar
ments down to his red flannel under
clothing on the bank of the stream,
when he heard the brush cracking, and
thinking perhaps the noise was made
by deer or other large animal, he de-
plOyed himself as a skirmisher and
cautiously began investigating. He
hadhN long to wait, for a moment later
he observed figure dodging from tree
to tree, rifle i'm hand, and evidently
watching him. 1t flashed through his
mind that he was being followed by an
Indian bent on mischief, and his heart
rose to his throat so that he could al
most taste it as thoughts of home forced
themselves upon him. He determined
that he would fight to the last, however,
and, braced by this determination, adj
vanced upon the enemy. The latter
was evidently not prepared for such
tactics, for he retreated, faster and
faster. and finally threw down his gun
and ran. The Sacramentan, fearing
that this was only piece of strategy to
lead him into an ambush, returned to
the creek, dOnned his garments and
hurried to the camp. There he found
member Of the party who had just
come in from hunting relating to the
other two members how he also had
experienced some trouble with Indians,
one of whom he said followed him two
or three miles, and he had only escaped
from him by striking him over the head
with his gun. This, he went on to say
broke the stock in two, the barrel flew
into the chapparal, and he did not deem
it worth while to wait and search for it,
when the Indians might attack the camp
at any moment. The man who had
been to the creek began to feel a sus-
piciOn that two members of that hunt
ing party had been making fools of
themselves, and he quietly inquired
"What did he look like?" Look like
You've heard of them being called red
devils; well, this fellow was one of
them! He was stripped right to the
skin, and was bareheaded, and had
painted himself just as red as blood.
You needn't laugh; 'twasn't anything
to laugh at" 1t was almost too cruel
to say anything about the red flannel
and the throwing of the
gun away; but it had to be told, and
the boys have had good thing on
drinks ever since. e.-SdCrdmentO Record |
