Danger from Lepr0sy.

Two cases of leprosy among the Chinese in San Francisco have given rise to considerable apprehension. One of the lepers was found lying abandoned in the street in the Chinese quarter of the city, and his countrymen passed him by in throngs, refusing to give him relief in any form or to touch him. He was placed by white men in a fruit wagon, from which load of oranges had just been sold, and was taken to the Chinese hospital, but was there denied admis- slon. He was then taken to the hospital of the city prison. The other leper was found in the jail, and was utilized as a lecture specimen by the Academy of. Sciences. These cases will show whether the fear of contagion displayed by the countrymen of the sufferers is we'll founded, for the two wretches were freely handled by white men. The in- troduction of leprosy into the Hawaiian Islands has been great calamity to them, and the possibility of similar curse to California is not viewed with equanimity. To what extent the disease now exists there among the Chinese is not known, and there is no way of dis covering. The mortality returns report nearly all the deaths that occur among them to result from "causes unknown" I" and large proportion of them may be owing to this disease. Now that it is known to exist in the city, it becomes important to learn under what conditions it is infectious.

A California Pioneer.

The late Michael Reese, of California,
 was an old Forty Miner and in his young days was pedler, with his pack on his back. He left fortune estimated at SIG, 1000, 900, being one of the largest real estate owners in San Francisco. He was noted during his life, for his extreme penuriousness, denying himself the slightest luxury of any kind. In, con- nection with this fact, the following story is told of him: In, the, early days of California he fell g victim to one of Cupid's darts, After worshipping at the shrine of love for time, he grew weary of his devotions, deserted the object of his affections, and was sued in the courts of justice for breach of promise. At the trial of the case; it was, shown that dur ing their many excursions, he was in the habit of treating her exclusively to ginger bread being the cheapest luxury. c The jury, from that fact and his 4well-known .pepuriousG habits, req dered 8 yendict in favor of the, injured plaintiff She Wentaon her way rejoic- ing, and he vowed everlasting hatred towards the sex.

An Avalanche of Crime.

No one who reads his morning paper, even carelessly, can fail to be struck with the extraordinary prevalence of crime at the present tune. Distasteful though such topics must be to every true journalist, they have crowded the columns of the press with increasing force of late. Fights, swindles, rob- berries, defalcations, murders and other crimes succeed each other so rapidly that mere mention is all that space can allow. The strangest feature of this abnormal and horrible state of affairs is that there seems to be nothing in the present status of society to urge men to the peculiar wickednesses that have been committed. Churches and other insti- tutions for the promotion of morality are as numerous and active as ever, and the responsibility of mau for the condition of his brother man was never so widely admitted as now. The only plausible theory seems to rest upon the tardiness of justice and the many leopholes for escape which approximations regard for the letter of the law opens to crim- inals. There are courts in which petty offenders against criminal and civil law are promptly dealt with, and in which sophistries are not allowed to take the place of moral sense. If there were others in which the doers of greater evils would be as speedily arraigned and by which they could be as promptly re- manded for punishment the dangerous classes, high and low, might be made to feel that forceful restraint which at pres- ent they lack and which is the only thing that can keep them in order. Hu- man nature is no worse in New York and vicinity than it is elsewhere, but moral ity is merely relative term it is very different article where quick cognizance and severe penalty follow violations of it to what it is in lands where the Bench is careless and venal. We have an un- equalled assortment of laws and prisons and fair quantity of gallows trees. If all of these were vigorously employed there would be speedy diminution of the quantity of crime.-N. 7. Herald.

THE ABIDING ONE.

God is the rock of my heart and my portion forever.-Psalm xiii, 25.
 Some hearts are like quiet village street. Few and well-known the passers to and fro Some like busy city's market place.
 And countless forms and faces come and go. Into my life unnumbered steps have trod, Though brief that life and nearing now its
 close,
 At first the forms of phantasies and dreams, And then the varied tread of friends and foes. Coming and going-ah there lay the pang, That when my heart has blossomed and un-
 locked
 Its wealth to greet the loved familiar step. Lo! 1t was gone, and only echoes mocked. My listening ear. But, oh here came one step, So soft and slow, which said, CT pass not by, But stay with thee, forever, if thou wilt, Amid this constant instability" Then in His eyes saw the love craved- Love past my craving-love that died for me, He took my hand, and in it's gentle strength Ilearnt the joy of leaning utterly. He taught my heart to trust Him fearlessly Crust oft betrayed, but now misplaced no
 more);
 The Rock my Rock! my wave-besieged Rock! Safe in thy clefts rest forevermore, All, all things change, and noblest human hearts Can ne'er be rocks: they are but potter's clay. The Lord, our God, He only is Rock! Who trusts in Him may trust in Him for aye Stlll do the countless footsteps come and go; stln with sigh the echoes die away; but One abides, and fills the solitude With music and with beauty, night and day.
