A Long Search for Gold Dollar.

A letter from Lambertville, N. j., to
the Philadelphia ''Times'' tells this inter-
esting story about a gold dollar: "a Young
lady of this place has gold dollar. with
monogram inscribed upon it, which has
been the subject great deal OF attention.
It was attached to bracelet by chain.
One evening in the latter part of February
last, after sleigh ride. she missed it. The
broken chain showed how it had disap-
peared Search was made, but it was OF
no avail. Finally an advertisement caught
the eye an habitual loafer about town.
He went to the house and said that he
had found the dollar below the steps OF
the sleigh the morning after the ride and
had spent it for whiskey at q saloon. The
friends of the young lady determined to
find the dollar if possible. The saloon
keeper remembered receiving the money.
but he had paid it to butcher. The lat
ter recollected paying it over to a drover
in Trenton. The address of the drover
was secured and letter written him. re-
questing reply at once. 1t came, with
the information that he had purchased q
ticket to Philadelphia with it the very day
the Lambertville butcher gave it to him,
and that the Trenton ticket agent had re-
marked about the monogram.
1.-The search was continued. The agent
remembered the dollar, and said he laid it
aside for few hours. but it was forwar-
ded to the general Office in Philadelphia
with the daily account. The receiver OF
the New Jersey receipts at Philadelphia
was next correspondent with. The beauti-
full monogram had been noted, but the
dollar had been deposited in the bank.
His opinion was that it could be obtained
from the cashier. The cashier was COM
municated with. His attention had been
called to the initials on the back Of the
dollar by one of the clerks, and he had
instructed the clerk to place it aside for
few weeks. Unfortunately, in the abb
sence OF the clerk, gentleman desiring
several hundred dollars in gold, prepsra-
tory to California trip, had been furnish
ed with the amount, and the little piece
had in some way been mixed with that
sum and gone westward. The gentle
mans name was furnished, and letter
was sent to him.
1.-THE events so far described took place
in March, and the remainder Of the spring
and all summer passed with no tidings
from the lost bangle. A few days ago.
however, there came letter from Detroit
written by the gentleman who had gone
West, which said that his health had been
poor, so that instead of returning at once
from California. as he proposed when he
started. he had stopped at Colorado Springs
for the summer to recuperate. The letter
relating the account of the dollar had been
delayed and not forwarded, so that he new
er received it until he reached Chicago.
He said he had the dollar in his possession
as the monogram attracted his notice.
The initials we're the same as those of
young friend of his, and he kept the coin
on that account. He promised to send
the dollar as should be directed. He was
as good as his word. and the little gold
piece is back in Lambertville once more"

A School in China.

One day Tsay, my young Chinese COM
panion. and went to Chinese boys
school. 1t was in the temple Of the joss,
or god, Man Chang. There we're Is or 30
boys; and we could hear them studying
their lessons before we had even got inside
the court yard. In Chinese school the
pupils all study aloud. and very loud, too.
They almost scream. and scarcely stop for
a moment; for if one stops the master
thinks he is idle, and gives him sharp
word or else blow with very long bam-
boo rod, which he keeps standing by his
high chair.
The boys were dressed in blue tunics,
and seated on stools, with their backs to
the teacher, and when Ole was called to
say his lessons he came up and turned
round with his back to the teacher, while
he repeated it. But Chinese boys do not
study arithmetic, geography and grammar
as our boys do. They simply learn to say
the words of the language, by rote, and af-
terward learn to repeat, in the same way,
the verses and maxims from the Four
Books Of the philosopher Confucius.
1t was strange place for a school. At
the upper end of the hall was row Of
seven great idols, 10 feet tall. These had
grotesque faces, and were black and grimy
with the smoke Of incense and joss-sticks,
which had been burned before them. They
were images of Man Chang, Teen-how and
other gods and goddesses. On each side
of the hall, or atrium, was row Of Is
smaller statues. or images of Chinese phil
osophers and sages. In one corner was an
enormous drum, set on low table, and in
the opposite corner was large bell set on
pedestal. The bell was at least four feet
in height, but had no tongue. A hammer
with a long handle stood near to use in
striking it. After a while the master
gave it light stroke, though it made a
heavy, dismal sound. At this the boys
rushed out to get their breakfast.
The boys go to school before sunrise. and
study till 10 o'clock in the forenoon, Then
they have an hour for breakfast At II
they enter school again and stay till 5 in
the afternoon; and at lamp-lighting they
have again to assemble and remain till 9
in the evening. Altogether it makes up
fully eleven hours per day,and they have
to study aloud all that time. too. wonder
what boys in the United States would
think of such application as this.
AS we went away, saw a man standing
beside one of the pillars of the temple
court. His wrists were in handouts, the
chain from which was made fast to staple
in the pillar high over his head. He could
neither LIE down nor sit down. a placard
hung from his neck. Tsay went up to read
1t and told me that the man had stolen an
offering which had been left by soane devo-
tee at the temple. He would be Obliged
to stand there twenty days, with his wrists
chained UP to the pillar. Unless his friends
came to feed him, he would starYe to

The children run about,

The children run about,
Trying vanly to keep out
The mischievous shining from their eyes
That might reveal the tale
Full of some wonderful surprise,
Which none must venture even to surmise,
Till Christmas lifts the veil,
The spirit of loving industry,
OF happy secrets and Of merry mystery
Fills all the house till every guarded room
With hidden flowers Of love begins to bloom
Even the little ones are busy, too
There is so much to do!
They fetch and carry. futter here and there
With most important air.
And choose their longest stockings ont
With never thought OF doubt
The good Kriss Kringle'S bounty to receive;
All things they hope. all things believe;
MAY God keep whole
The sweet child-trust in each young innocent soul!
The dear house mother Smiles
And does not seem to see
Herself entangled also in the wiles
OF Christmas mystery.
With well-feigned sober mien,
And lips and brow serene,
Her cunningest devices she applies
To slip the scrutiny of eager eyes,
And hides away upon her closet shell
Parcels Of shape and size
That must have come from Santa Claus himself
The busy hum pervades
Kitchen as well'as hall;
And daintes hidden from the schoolboys raids
Come forth in answer to the Christmas call
Odors of spice and plum
From the fair precincrs come;
A,nd 10 ho oOOo 10 heat
Now chop the apples!-tempt the little feet,
Brighten the laughing eyes,
And set small mouths a-watering for
Christmas cake and pies!
The blessed day draws nigh;
The ruddy lads come in, their arms piled high
With Christmas boughs of cedar. fir and pine,
Red berried holly and green ivy-vine,
| The incense-like perfume
| Hallows each happy room;
The house is beautiful with Christmas cheer
| It is the joy time Of the year!
| O! Christ who on this Christmas morn
| Long years ago.
While angels sang the chime
For. the first Christmas time,
OF "a poor maid was born,
And laid thy kindly head
Beneath the humble shed
Where sad.eyed oxen munich the bruised corn,
And Mich kline for their meanings low
o Christ be pitiful this day!
Let none un-christmased go.
Let no poor wretch in vain for help implore,
Let none from any door
| Unwarmed, unfed,
i No kind word said,
Helpless be turned away;
For thine own sake we pray!
