"MISSION WORK" AMONG THE CHINESE IN NEW YORK.

Work among the Chinese is one of the pro minent features of the religious element of Brooklyn. But the men and women who are engaged in praise-worthy attempts to turn the child-like Celestial from the evor of his ways

The uncertainty of the law, and the round- about character of the remedy, are great evil. If the dishonest practice disclosed in this case is to be rooted out by the criminal law, the rule must be made more concrete, more definite, and more clear. The conscience requires to be guided by a rule about which there can be no mistake. No room can safely be left to the tempted man to palter with his duty, and full his

"Already it has been made a criminalnesday evening an officer of the Lee Avenue Police Station, Williamsburg, was passing Li Sing's laundry, at 139 North Second Street. The front portion of the laundry was deserted. but in the rear part and behind the mustin curtains which separated the business from the private section of the store the policeman saw a couple of figures moving in a manner that at once arrested his attention. The lights in the store proper were turned low, but by a fatal over- sight on the part of the people behind the curtains, a lamp was still blazing at the extreme end of the place, The effect of this was to throw the figures of the individuals in question into strong relief, and

offence for the servants of a corporation to take commissions. The mere fact that a special clasa is thus singled out for exceptional legislation suggests to the unwary that there is no law to hinder the servant of a private employer from asking for or receiving commissions. A man hesitating between duty and a bribe is only too apt to give his pocket the benefit of the doubt, If commission-taking is a crime, it ought to be stamped out; if not, it ought to be let alone..

Commissions, like so many other evils, have a decent parentage. When a man is neither servant nor an agent, nor in a position of trust, they form a legitimate mode of payment. But when a servant is employed to buy, and he accepts a present from the vendor, his interest is at once in conflict with his duty. The case of Stubbs and Varley shows to what lengths such a practice will go, if unchecked. A coin mission, in short, is a bribe to a man, and it can have no other effect than to impair his sense of duty. Let every man who takes a commission ask himself whether his employer knows his conduct. If he does it behind his employer's back it is an act of dishonesty, and nothing cau palliate it. But there are commissions or presents so small that, no harm can be done, it is said, That is true; but it is the beginning of evil, and little commissions have a fatal tendency to grow into big commissions.

The mischief of commissions, like all other forms of dishonesty, is not to be measured by a single case. There are acts of theft so small, as the theft of a common pin, that no person of sense would prosecute and no Court would convict. None the less, theft is theft, however small may be the value appropriated. The spread of the practice of taking commis sions by servants is alarming and seriously undermines our commercial integrity, We believe that public opinion will approve the sapere sentences passed upon Stubbs and Varley, whatever compassion may be felt for them as individuals not a whit worse than their neigh bours, and that Parliament would be sustained if it passed a drastic measure making the act of giving or receiving a commission by a servant a crime. At present the law is too much hampered by technical difficulties, and a conviction is the rarest thing in the world. Unless the law or restricted to the case of corporations is extended to all servants and persons in a position of trusty we fear that the exemplary fate of Stubbs and Varley will do little to purify public opinion or restain the vast multitude that are too sorely tempted to follow in their footsteps.-Weekly | Dispatch.

A. KING'S EARNINGS.

King Victor Emanuel of Italy was in his youth a keen sportsman and a fine shot. One day, having wandered away from his party, be was returning by an isolated road from a hunting expedition. He Espied a covey of partridges in a copse near by, and raising his fowling-piece he killed a brace at a shot. ..

A peasant who had been watching him attentively now hurriedly crossed the road and halting said:

"That was well done, Whosoever you are you know how to handle a gun.

"I'm glad you think so," responded the King, laughing.

"only, wish you could shoot a fox that is robbing me, one by one, of all the fowls in my barn-yard,"

"Well, perhaps I can. I'll see what I can do for you,"

7

"If you kill that fox," said the peasant, Impressively, "I'll give you two lira" [aboat 40 cents.]

"Very we'k I'll bring my dogs and be here

to-morrow.

Will you give me your hand on it?" said the

farmer, extending his horny digits,

The King gave him his hand and was punctual to the hour appointed on the following day. The fox was on hand, too, and King Victor's sure aim brought reynard's career to a sudden end,

His Majesty hastened to the farmer with his prize.

"See !" he called out, "now you owe me two lira."

"You shall have it. You have earned it, answered the delighted farmer cordially.

The King looked curiously at the coins as they were handed to him. "Only to think," he muttered to himself, "that this is the first money Fever earned."

•

The following day the peasant's wife received a present of a gown, a necklace, and a pair of earrings Then it was that the farmer learned who he had hired to kill his fox.

STRIKING PASSAGES FROM RUSKIN.

The first use of education is to enable us to consult with the wisest and the greatest men on all points of earnest difficulty. To use books rightly we are to go to them for help; to appeal to them when our own knowledge and power of thought fail to be led by them into wider sight, purer conception than our own, and receive from them the united sentence of the judges and councils of all time against our solitary and un- stable opinions;

A woman should be, not "variable as the ahade by the light quivering aspen made," but variable as the light, manifold in fair and serene division, that it may take the color of all that it falls upon and exalt it.

THE RESULTS WERE DISASTROUS to them. Very quietly the bluecoat turned the handle of the door. It yielded, and in another instant he was inside. With cat-like steps he crept toward the curtains. The couple were too much engrossed with each other to think of friends, enemies, or anything but themselves. and their present occupation. There was a pause of an instant, a leap on the part of the officer, a yell from a scared Chinese, and n shrick from a pretty young white woman, Exactly what the officer saw, between the time of his catering the store and his rush forward, can- not be told in detail. But it may be just hinted at. The officer at once arrested both the parties. The woman begged bitterly' to be set free, alleging that she was married, that her happiness, her home, and the life of her unborn child was at stake. Her captor was obdurate. Then she affered to pay him $100 if he would release her; still he refused. By stages she advanced the bribe until she had reached $1000, but without results, and after more tears and bewailing she accompanied

She alleged that she had no home, but her general appearance and the excellent taste with which she was dressed gave the lie to this statement Li Sing was also locked up. The woman spent the night in tears and lamentations, while Li Sing preserved the stolidity of his race.
