Fate and Circumstance.

Two shall be born the wide world apart,
And speak in different toug1cs, and have no
thought
Each one ofthe others being, and no heed.
And these Ger unknown seas to unknown
lands
Shall cross, escaping wreck, defying death;
And, unconsciously, shape every act
And bend each wandering step to this one
end =,
That one day out of darkness they shall
meet
And read life's meaning in each others eyes
And two shall walk some narrow way OF lie,
So nearly side by side that should one turn
Ever SO little space to left or right
They needs must stand acknowledged lace
to face.
And yet With wistful eyes that never meet
And cropping hands that never clasp, and Up
Calling in vain to ears that never hear,
They GEEK each other all their weary days.
And die unsatisfsd, and this Fate.

A Significant story.

A wealthy banker 10 one OF our large
cities. whe Is noted for bis large SUBJ
scriptions to charities, and for his
kindly habits of private beneYolence,
was called on by bis pastor, one even
ing, and asked to go with him to the
help of a man who had attempted
suicide.
They found the man in wretched
house, in an alley, not far from the
bankers dwelling. The 'front.' room
was a cobler's shop; behind it, on
miserable bed in the kitchen, lay the
Door shoemaker with a gaping cash in
his throat, while his wife aud children
were gathered about bin.
We have been without food for
days, said the women, when he return
ed. 1t is not my husbands fault. He
is a hard-w orking, sober maa. Bat he
could neither get work, nor pay for that
which he had done. To-day he went
for the last time to collect a debt due
him by a rich family, but the gentle
man was pot at home. Ny husband
was weak from fasting, and seeing US
starving drove him mad. SO it ended
that way turning to the faintiag, mo-
tionless figure on the bed.
The banker, having led aud warmed
the family, hurried home, opened bis
desk and took out file of little bills
All his large debts were promptly met
quarterly, but he was apt to be careless
about the accounts Of milk, bread, etc.,
because they were so petty.
He found there I bill Of Michael
Goodlow's for repairing children's
shoes, $40. Michael Goodlow was the
suicide. 1t was the panker's unpaid
debt which had brought these people to
the verge Of the grave, and driven this
man TO desperation, wDlle, at Tue very
time. tie banker had been giving away
thousands 10 charity.
The cobbler recovered, aud ~ill
never want friend while the banker
lives. nor will a small unpaid bill ever
agaiu be found Oh the bankers table.
No man has right to be generous
until his debts are paid; and the most
efficient use of money is not alone Ia
almsglving, but to pay libetally aud
promptly the people whom @e en-
ploy.

A Peculiar People.

There are some old facts IN regard
to the result Of six or seven thousand
years of Chinese civilization, and we
presume that those who may speculate
upon the probable condition Of the
Anglo-SaxOn on or about the first of
January 800 A. D., will not overlook
few OF the salient features which have
grown up over the advanced age Of The
Mongoian dynasty. Just think of it..
There ls nOL a road in all the broad
expanse Of populous China where even
wheelbqrrow could be driven or a
horse led around Shanghai, aud here
theEnglish have constructed them.
They have no cemeteries; no tomb
stones mark and honor their last rest
ing-place on earth. Those who own
private gardens bury their dead and
those of their friends therein. Those
who have no gardens or plats Of ground
lay the bodies of The dead in rough
boxes on the surface Of open fields.
The Chinese regard The souls Of their
ancestry as links in the length Of a
great chain which they say enables
them 10 reach up TO the supreme source
of life and ruler OF the unlYerse. This
is the reason why these remarkable
keen, quick -wilted people will not
tolerate the construction of railroad
10 their country. They declare that
the locomotive and rattling trains
would certainly violate the sacred
charm influence in their behalf by
causing the abrupt sacred fight of their
ancestry who are ever lowering around
and over them.
They have no banks in Cana, and
no coin Of value except our silver and
that of Mexico. They have no law
yers, but they have perfect, rigidly en-
forced system OF law and order. The
principals alone can plead their cases.
The first social rank in China can only
be attaioed by literary merit. All
Cinnamon read end write, because
education is compulsory. Every man
in China is free 10 compete for liter
airy degree, ard last year l07 900 can
dldaLes for this honor were entered al
Canton for examination. Those o.
thise large number who pass muster
here are free again to advance to the
higher national grade competition at
Pekin, annually held there. aud when
they pass this ordeal they become
Mandarins and live 10 high estate Al
the public expense. No military man
is permitted 10 aspire TO these liberal
honors in China. This annual selec.
ton from the whole Chinese people ol
is rulers who represent its best thought
and mental power has probably been
the greatest, most potent factor o.
their remarkable vitality aud preserva-
ton as a natiou, but at the same time
it increases The wonder that they should
have stood sull on the avenue OF hum an
Lrogress for thousands of ofyears.

UNDER the control of the Republican
party our republic is about where the
Romans were under the reign of Augustus
Caesar. The masses of the people have nc
voice in saying who shall be candidates.
The entire government seems to be run
by a ring or syndicate who nominate,
and the masses, like sheep, arc driven to
the polls to carry out the wishes of thor
masters. If any factious opposition is
manifested among the leaders themselves,
fund is raised by a two per cent. tax,
upon the poorly paid Office holders, and
the money Is freely used to suppress any
instruction or rebellion among the
"bosses." Ii the entire vote Of State
is required to elect President, twisting
statesmen" are sent to disfranchise the
majority and declare the minority elected.
This game succeeded once, but a
repetition of it will never be permitted.
Was there ever such farce as the con-
duct Of our government by the Republi-
can party? The independent, intelligent
voters of this State will have an oppor-
tunity this fall to overturn the party in
power and transfer the management of
governmental affairs to that political or
ganization under whose management
our Nation grew to greatness among the
powers Of the world. VIII they do it?
