If you will suffer a word of advice, think of this parable. A certain captain and his foreign ofcers preferred to be on tus bridge and deck; aad left the engine-room and boilers in care of nolires.

The quarter occupied by the children-or say, the nursery is divided
all partments, and is capable of holding about one hundred children at a time, with
their nurses. In the immediate front of the bursery is placed the image of thegoddess" Choo-- Sitag-new-now," which, as tradition has it, chronicles the exact time and date of the birth af avery Celestial, and to whom every patriarch of the family offers sacrifloss and thanksgiving after the birth of a child in his family. This onstar is in vogne in this part of China; so I waetolil. Contrary to the Chinese characteristics, the place is kept sarupulously clean and in proper order, and so far as ons can judge from outward ap- pearance, the recipients of this shelter from the pangs of hunger and cold, and the various types uf misery to which they would otherwise have boon exposed, are woll ears for, and every care bestowed on the advunesmys of their moral and physical welfare. The locality earrounding this ropozitory is usually known by the same name of Obee-ang-tong," the corrupted form of " Yogh- bag-tong," which literally means " refugo for abandored children," and what with the war- rounding hilistes dotted with the countless white specks of small graves, and with the gloomy sali. tade which pervadee this whole neighbourhood, it presents somewhat sombre aspect to persona. of a contemplative tart of mind.
Every respectable Cliness is at liberty to so lect way of these girls for the purpose of atop- tion as his daughter. But bolore the control- lers of the institution consent to withdraw their tutelaga from over their orphan ward; od band her over to her new guardian, ali pou Bible information as to the opet position of the applicant, as well as the status he enjoys in Pociety, is ascertained, and all posible chances of her being betrayed for the purpose of prosti- tution or like iniquities are insured agnat. By this ingurious means way for new ad- missions is paved, and the consequences of the over-crowding of the asylum are removed. It is a auziona fact that there is never a girl.abova ten or eleven years of age laft in this saylam, but has found some voluetary guardian, willing to take her under his-protection. The same God who comes to her rescue ia ker abandon- mont whers speechless infant, - provides for a. Kuardian to protect her in her maturèt years.
The scope of operation of this benevolent in- stitution is not afrommseribed to the narrOW Bmit of Amoy or its immediate neighbourhood, bat it extends ovsa to the interior districts of Chuon Chow, Ching Chaw, and Tang Hwan, in each of which places a brush is established and supported by the head-quarters. ------
