she and Charlie hadn't been married
but fcw years. and she used to como
down here every noon and bring him
his dinner. that the story commences.
They lived in q house on Washington
avenue and had two little children to
take care of and they were Just ~ hap
py rs they could be, for Charlie was
making good living and had the
promise of bosship in tho fall. Well.
one day ut noon she came in with his
lunch, as was her custom. and Just as
she got to the gate it flew open and out
came four men bearing tho dead body
of her hnsband, who had just been
killed by afaliing timber. Dolly tainted
away ut the sight and fell into 4 fever
that did not abatc until long after poor
Charlie had been buried and another
man hired to take his place in the fac
tory. As soon rs she got able TO 20
out she went to work and secured up
the old dinner pail and put up meal
for her dead husband just the same as
though he was alive and working rs
usual At fifteen minutes before IL
she put on her bright new shawl and
gay bonnet, and. taking the pail in her
hand. trippcd off down the street and
knocked at the gate. The men came
out and she told them that she wanted
to go in and wait for Charlie and let
him have something to eat. They tried
to reason with her. and told her that he
had gone away on n long job, and
wouldn't require any dinner for many
. day--perhaps never. But she would
not listen to them. and waited there
until the bell rang for the men to go to
work again. Ever since then, and that
was nearly ten years ago, she has done
the same thing every day that the fac
tory has been runaing Sundays. holi-
iavs and in vacation lime she stays at
home. but all the rest of the time she
puts ON Tho same old shawl and bonnet
they are faded and threadbarc, now
and starts down the street with tin
pail in her hand"
'.Does she carry the same old dinner.
or is it fresh every day?" asked the
girl.
lit is fresh and hot every day."
'.But what does she do with the old
one when sho finds out that Charlie
dor t come out TO eat itp"
"Well, she takes 1t home and sets it
down upon the table, and going into
her chamber to tako off her shawl and
bonnet. she stays thcrc and cries, and
cries, and cries. Before she comes out
her two children steal into the room
and eat the dinner all up and leave
nothing but the empty pail. As they
arc hearty children. their mother poor,
and good hot dinner isn't bad for
anybody, they eat it and ask no qucs-
tious."
''Ohr' said the girl, relapsing into
silence and losing all interest in tho

Lord TcnuysOn.

Lord Tenuyson took his place among
the English peers on Tuesday after

a trying ordeal to the laureate to be
conveyed about the house Of lords in
scarlet and ermne under tho gasilght
with garter king in heraldic

seven peers watching him with languid
interest, and gathering OF curious
on-lookers in the galleries. The visit
ors took stock of his unwonted attire.
his bearing, and his nervous mistakes.
The famous bard did not acquit him
self with much dignity of bearing, and
it was whispered about that the robes
which had been made for him had not
reached their proper destination. 10

blundered," and the state garment OF
Lord Coleride, who is good deal taller
than Tennyson, had to be used for the
occasion.

said that when the late Lord Clyde.

that al the frenfenson Board the ship

large line OF steamers (Glen line)
trading at China, and / learned that
this particular steamer was one OF tho

engineer being unwilling TO employ
Asistics-whi there were Englishmen

that he could not help himself. EHg-
lish fremen--British freinen rather
were SO troublesome and SO given to be-
ing drunk when they got 9 chance. that
with all his preference for his sown
country men, the t.ehicf'' !. w4ss oblitua,
to give in at last and take ChinanieHs
Before giving in think that on ono
occsslop he hsa ~ hsxs tAe ahip aneh-
mel with the engineers acting As stok-
ers. Then, much against his will, he
had to take to the Objectionable China-
men. On asking how the Chinese did,
was told they did first-class. gave no
wanted, were steady and sober. and in
every way competent. Ii did not ap-
pear that very much was saved in
wages by employing Cinnamon. but
the gain was in the absolute regularity
with which they performed their work.
1t is in this way the Chinese arc going
to conquer--by sober, plodding indus
try. There will be no armed parade,
no great military movements, no
chanting of warriors with garments
rolled in blood; but where labor is
wanted they will supply it. and be
steady al their work. Some time ago
there was a talk of company import
ing some thousands of Chinese to Lon
don. They will come without COM
psny and without ostentxtion, they
will come only where and when they
are wanted; but the alarming consider
alton in the contest of races Is that
they can render themselves profitable,
and even necessary, to those who are
reluctant to use them. Ii Britain can
be made sober she may hold her own,
for the Chinaman labors under many
disadvantages; but if the steady, quiet,
law-abiding Chinaman has as his COM
petitor man liable at any time TO be
OF work for a day or two through
drink it is not difficult to see who will
win. Against Industrious perseverance
no protective law can save a country
whose working population is given to
the Interruptions of drinking and
'sprees." At present Britain has got
the start and for years, perhaps de-
cades, Cnina may be unable 10 cope
with us in manufactures. but no length
of start can keep us permanently ahead
of unwearying perseverance. China is
learning, slowly, it is true. but still
learning western arts, and when once
she has learned thoroughly her lesson,
her industrious sober population, if
prohibited from working in Britain and
the colonies, will produce in her pos
sessions manufactures which will be
lower in price than ours. For some
time our name and prestige will save
US. but this can not last for ever, and 7
am deeply conscious that in the long
run no nation which cripples its ener-
gies and wastes its income on drink, as
Britain now does, will be able 10 com.
peie successfully with China
