A VeiW ofHunOr,
The Peaceful Chinese.

While in China, said Eli Perkins in his China and Japan lecture, never saw fight. I never saw two men quarreling, and no one ever heard of Chinaman whip ping his wife. People there are too busy to play or fight. Wages are s20 n year, and that don't leave any margin for prize fights. In America every body has plenty of time and money for prize fight ing, dog fighting, and racing.
 On board the ship I asked a Chinaman who had been in Cali fornia, why it was the Chinamen were always peaceable while Americans often get in a wrangle.

A Touching Incident in the Court
 Room at St Louis.

William IL. Fay Tor, tired ana convicted for the killing of Tohe Carlyle, is sentenced to be hanged on March 2l. The testimony of his sister-ln-law, corroborated by his little son, was the basis of the jury's verdict. The peculiarity of this evidence has caused an effort to be made to save Taylor's life, either by new trial or pardon by the Governor.
 William H. Taylor is only a ne- gro, yet underneath his dark ex- terier is q heart of pure gold. Taylor is moral hero. His pow CT of iorgiv eness is sublime. Monu- ments have been built to lesser men.
 Strange that man, bearing these traits, should he in jail with thieves, thugs, robbers and mur derers. Stranger still that the charge against him is the same as that written against Cain. But so il is.
 A scene was enacted in the Criminal Court at the termination of the Taylor trial, which would have been a volume to Victor Hugo, a drama to Sardou, or a ser mon to Sturgeon. II was like q sunbeam from TIeavenin that room which is the portal to the peniten- tiary for St. Louis criminals.
 Taylor's little 9-year-old son, Clyde, bright, copper-colored lad, had proved an important wit ness for the State against his tath- CT, and on leaving the stand this father, with tears in his eyes and love in his face, arose in spirit above his fellow men, fairly tower ed into great, unmeasurable giant, stretehed forth his hands and said: Come here, Clyde" 7" and when the child obeyed him, took him in his arms and kissed him. That scene of nearly 1900 years ago was recalled, when that Perfect Man, tormented by his murdorers, with ghastly wounds covering his body, strot tched forth His hands, saying: "Father, for gi1 c them; they know not what they do."
 All the eloqnence of a Beeeher would be lost in cndeavoring to preach ! stronger sermon than this simple act of an untutored negro. If the sworn afffdavits of several persons are to be believed, this pratthng child had pcrjured his father 10 death on the scaf- field. Yet fasherly love triumph ed, and there, in the very shadow of the grave, that strong man for gave the little one whose unwit- ting perjury had fastened the rope about his neck, and lifting the boy in his arms. clasped him to his breast and kissed him. That was all-b1t that simple act turned the calcium light on the mans heart, and he stood there moral hero. -.St. Louis Republic.

The Curfew

That was a quaint old custom the ringing of the curfew bell. The mere mention of it carries us back centuries in our thoughts, mayhap even into the stirring times of the middle ages. In 'Curfew shall not ring to night, ]" Cromwell rides before us at the head of his victorious Ironsides, and England's commons run red with royal blood.
 One would think that this old practice had long since passed out of existence. But even here in North America, away up in Can ada, one little villag still observes the custom, and every night, as the clock strikes nine. curfew is toled. At its ominous sound, ev- cry boy and every girl under nine years of age must leave the streets and seek tho shelter of the home roof.
 It is n good custom. I wish ev- cry town and village had it's cur few bell. Fathers and mothers are far too lenicnt in allowing their children the freedom of the streets after dark. I don't. mean merely children of nine years and under, but children of maturer age as well.
 There is probably no school of viee whose lessons are so quickly learned, or so generously retained as those of the public streets after dark. They are perfect hot beds of evil tendencies and bad associa- tions. Any man will tell you that after nightfall the spirit of license runs loose about the streets. Old CT men and boys breathe it's con dominating atmosphere and be- come victims of it's corrupting in fuenee. If. in the strength of their maturity, they become de- moralized, what shall we expect to be the effect upon the uniformed characters ot the younger boys and girls.
 Under shadow of the dark they are tempted to do and say things which would not be dared in open daylight. Or, il nothing more, there s the spirit of unrestrained freedom which the darkenod street begets. A feeling that there they are out from under the restrain ing influences of home, and that they are priyilgcd 10 do as it

pleases them, even though not di- rectly inclined to evil.

We are too apt to say, 70, the children have a good time, and where's the harm!"
 True. they do have "good time" with their games and romps, but the evil turks, just the same, in the dark. The license gives opportunity for the thought, and the thought finds a shelter in the shadow for the indulgence of the act.
