"I hopo all thnt may Inst." I thought,

nud slid ,
"For itjd's sake, compose yourself.

Harry grasptd my hand and wept
liko a child. Ho aroubcd himself soon,
and gave a high bo loud, bo long, to deep,
that although tho moment was gr.ivo I
could not help thinking his cheat would

his wife was all that Harry could de

But I will relate tlie rose in Harrj-'s

Tho low window of tho hitting room was
open, but thero was no light within. I
was eloso up to it when I heard my
wife's voice wiying
"At this hour, then, to-morrow.

raised my gun to my uhouldcr and fired.

Tho following morning found mo nt
tho door of J Inrry'ii cottage, and I was
soon ushered into tho parlor. A mo
mwit after tho door was hurriedly
opened nnd a lady tottered forward.
Her faeo was pule, hor eyes wcro hwoI

"Oh, Mr, Morton 1" she cried, hcizing
my hand. "You come fiom my hus

I looked nt tho woman who now sat
trembling bosido me. Sho was not only
pretty, but very prepossessing iu ni

Can it bo sho has gone astray 1 Such
were my reflections ns I gazed nt hor.
"Mudame," I naid in a kind lone, for
my heart was softened toward hor, "you

this unhappy affair. Your husband has
told mo ail."
"Oh, kind sir, ho could not tell you
ull, for hu does not know till. 1 will iiyi
servo nothing from vou for you tiro his

And shu did tell all hor wholo mar

all. I listened with moistened eyes for

"Well," wid I after sho had finishod,
"let us consider what is best to bo done,
It may admit of homo arrangement.
We continued talking for homo timo
nud ut last our plans being arranged, I
bade her "good-by," promising to call
again tho next day.
Within four-nndtwiMity hours 1 was
again in Harry's hotel, whero I took a
snug sitting-room with a bed insidoof ii.
I heiitunototo Hnrry requesting his
lrehenco in my room. Ho came, and
tho first question was about tho homi

"No."
"Oh, tlmuk God !" And hu ela-sped
his limuls mid look id up thankfully to

"Tho man is us well us ho can he," J
said coldly. "A htalthy, good-looking,

"Oh, spare me, Dick I How can youl"

addressing him sternly, "listen to me.

CHINESE EMiaitATICW.
The news that two thousand mom
Chinamen huvo como to this port will
not bo pleasant information to whito
men among us, who look to common
labor for support, and will tletcr such
who desire to muku this country their
homo from coming here. Jt is cither to
havo cheap Chinese labor or to havo whito
labor. Kvoutuiilly it will narrow down
to one or tho other, nud while somo mav
imagine, that thoir prosperity will bo ad
vanced by hiving cheap labor abundant,
it will not requiro any very abstruse
reasoning to provo that tho Slato will bo
oventually morn prosperous and happy
with whito men and women as tho basis
of its working population. Considera
tion for our own race is a duty as im
perative as consideration for our own
families.
Iu this connection thero need bo no
prejudico or ill will towards Chineso, no
want of humanity or consideration for
them, only a question of right and duty
towards ourselves, as a people. Wo
cannot niTord to dobasu tho working
turn and women of Christian America
to tho level of Asiatic civilisation. Wo
should not permit the slave drivers of
China itfter wo havu spent untold
millions nud waged civil war to rid our
nation of slavery to bring their serfs
hero to degrade labor and reiluco freo
citizens to the labor level of bondmen.
Tho Asiatic i.s foreign to our ways and
beliefs; has no sympathy with our in
stitutions; comes but to tako bread and
wagci from whito men and return to his
idols with it, and it seems as if no argu
ment was needed to convince lovers of
humanity nnd fiiends of pure civiliza
tion, that restriction should bo placed
upon an evil that threatens to beeomii
intolerable.
Tin) Uurliueanio treaty may provlfHi"
that none but freo men shall come, but
wo hnvo no means to decido who aro
slaves or free. Tho Chinese como hero
only obedient to the ruloa and regula
tions of tho great companies, whoso
power is superior to our law. They hopo
to return to China, eventually, .not to
remain among us, and to realize that
hopo they must conform to Chineso
customs and we cannot invent any pro
cess by which wo can extort truth from
them. They aro with us, but not of us,
here to ant the leech and suck the lifo of
tho nation, not to build it up and make
it gieat and good and prosperous. The
mnn who knows the character of theso
jwoplo and can consent to see them dis
place freo whito labor among us, does
not deservo to havo a country, or to
possess Caucasian blood or lineage. An ' 4
