Chlnamusen Flocking to Australia .

! Within the last fortnight upward OF
1000 Chinese have arrived, and there is
now . very large number afioat en- route
from Hong Kong to this colony. The
Chinese who are here explain that the
exodus from tho home country is occa-
stoned by the great depression which
exists there. The newcomers are
ignorant people, who are unable
to either read Or write. It is
only by great; self-denial that they
are able to scrape together enough
money (about IS, ] We belieye,) to pay
for their passage, and the great part OF
them are almost psnniless when they
land here. Some of the Chinese mer'
chants In Sydney believe that before
the year is out 10000 Chinese will land
at this port unless some check can lie
nut !. upon the inflow Ii Instead OF
being, as many, people think,
source Of profit TO the Chinese en-
ployers Of labor here, the immigrants
prove a serious burden, for they have to
be housed and fed until they can be sent
or forced to 70 into the country. The
majority Of Chinese merchants and resi-
dents in Sydney are averse to the whole
sale importation of Chinese to this colo
nv, such as is now taking place.-Syd

To cure the sick and heal thu blind,
And even to raise to life the dead,
He had not where to lay His head.
No door to enter. no field to reap,
No pillow to sleep.
Think of His lonely. sorrowing years.

From the greatest down to the very least. ,o
