OctOBer's Party.

October gave a party
The leaves by hundreds came
The Chestnuts, Oaks and Naples.
And leaves Of every name.
The sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand;
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Prof. Wind the band.
The Chestnuts came in yellow,
The Oaks in crimson dressed;
The lovely Misses Maple,
In scarlet, looked their best.
All balanced to their partners
And gayly fiuttered by;
The sight was like a rainbow
New fallen from the sky.
Then. in the rusty hollows,
At hide and seek they played;
The party closed at shutdown,
And everybody staid.
PORT. Wind played louder
They flew along the ground,
And there the party ended,
In hands across all round.

this exercise of prayer, instead of being
a dull exercise we would imagine that
the room was full of divine and angelic
appearances.
But, my friends, the old style Of
church will not do the work. We might
as we'll now try to take all the passen-
gers from New York to Buffalo by stage
coach, or all the passengers from Albany
TO Buffalo by canalboat, OF do all the
battling Of the world with bow and ar
row, as with the old style of church to
meet the exigencies of this day. Unless
the church in our day will adapt itself
10 the time IL will become extinct. The
people reading newspapers and books all
the week, i'm alert, picturesque and re-
sounding style, will have no patience
with Sabbath humdrum.
We have no objections to bands and
surplice and all the paraphernalia of
clerical life, but these things make no
impression-make no more impression on
the great masses of the people than the
ordinary business suit that you wear in
Wall-st A tailor cannot make a min
lister. Some Of the poorest preachers
were the best clothes, and many a back
woodsman has dismounted from the
saddlebags, and in his linen duster
preached a sermon that shook earth and
heaven with it's Christian eloquence. No
new gospel, only the old gospel In way
suited to the time No new church, but
ton, the practical sympathy and the
eternal help Of the people.
But while half Of the doors Of the
church are 10 be set open toward this
world the other half OF the doors Of the
church must be set open toward the next.
You and L tarry here only a brief space.
We want somebody to teach us how to
get out of this life at the right time and
in the right way. Some fall out Of life.
some go stumbling out of life. some go
grooming out of life, some go cursing out
of life. We want to go singing. rising.
rejoicing triumphing. We want half the
doors of the church set in that direction.
We want half the prayers that way,
half the sermons that way. We want
to know how 10 get ashore from the
tunult Of this world into the land of
everlasting peace. We do not want to
stand doubling and shivering when we
go away from this world. We want our
anticipations aroused to the highest pitch.
We want to have the collaboration of
a dying child in England, the father
telling me the story. When he said TO
her, rs the path narrow?' she an
swered: THE path is narrow. IT Is so
narrow that i cannot walk arm in arm

The Chinese EXCLUSION Act.

The net OF Congress providing tor the
deportation of certain Chinese from this
country. commonly known as the GrAEY
act, and which the Supreme Court OF the
United States on Monday last pronounced
constitutional, will now have 10 stand or
fall upon its merits. There is no higher
court to which appeal could be made for a
reversal of that decision. and the Supreme
Court denied q motion for rehearing.
But Il Congress shall come 70 the coDclu-
sion that the act is one which ought TO be
removed from the statute book, then OF
course that body. aided by the President
of the United States, would put an end
70 IT,
The Chinese in this country who are
20 be deported under the law thus decided
30 be constitutional are those Of them who
refuse 10 register under the said Law and
comply with the other forinalities pre-
scribed therein. Seeing thar the law Il now
known 10 be constitutional, 1t will most
probably undergo a rigid scrutiny and
strict oxanina'ion at the bands of the peo-
pie Of the whole United States. and par-
tioulsrly those OF them residing on the Pa
cl6c coast.
Everybody must admit that the lmport1-
ton Of negro slaves into this country was
one Of tho greatest caismities that could
have bofalIon the people " the American
colonies But for the presence here Of the
negro the southern States would have been
the gardon-spot Of the world. We have
no upreasoning prejudice against the ne
Croes. We try 20 state facts only. TO TO
the quarter of any city in which the ne
erocs reside md ask how property soils
there. Why. the finest block OF houses on
Franklin street IN this city would be re-
ducedin value by 50per cent. If one or more
of the houses in that block were purchased
nv negroes "a bones. So with the Chi
ncss in tao cities OF the Pacific coast.
They ruin property by their mere presence.
For our part we would rather admit more
negroes into this country than to admit
more Chinese. These latter are the
cfscourngs Of the earth" If we may quote
that phrase IN this connection. The world
must eventually be ruled everywhere by
the Caucasian. He ought not to be
hampered III his efforts by the presence of
any more or the INFERIOR races lnhn We
may feel hound for any reason to admit to
citizenship in this country.
Will tho Chinese government retaiate
We have .een it predicted that it would
but if. as is stated, there are not 1900
Americans residing in China, then retslia-
ton will not amount to much. especially
II, as may be the case. the Chinese shall
prefer the presence to the absence of the
American element. UNCLE SAM will not be
alarmed by any reports that NAV come to
him from China. He feels Indifferent as
20 whether the people there like our laws
or not.
