" MISTAKEN IN THE PERSON,"
"My liear, you'll \tc vory particular about the iliiiuer," sai.l Is:iiali Soulli- mayed, loa.«tin!; liin eoat tails hclbro the ruilily breakfast lire. "Ami 1 bea nud entreat of you, ilou't let I'esgy anoil the wild dueks."
Mrs. Southuiayed rubbed ber fore¬ head iu .1 sortof bewildered iieri>le.\ity. Hlio was a plump, over-dressed littlo matron with rouud, blue cye.1 aud pus nose, not unlike a a>uleh iloll, Isaiah S[)Uthmayed had married her for tho five thousand dollars that seemed boundless wealth to bim when he waa a. struggliUB elerk at three hundred per annum—therefore it waa rather nnrea- flonablo that Isaiah Southmoyedshould be annoyed at tho absence of brains un¬ der her pink cap ribbons, lie had not bargained for brains—wliat right had he to expect them ? Jlut men have been unreasonable since tho world began, and J.saiah was no exception to tho or- iliuary rule.
"Yes, dear," said Jfrs. Southmayed, nervously clattering among her china cups and saucers. " Tho soup a la .Ta- lienne, with plenty of pepper—and tho fish stowed in wine—and—and the beat Bllver, and tho tablo-cloth with tho crimson border, and the blue silk cov-
trlpt on tho bed—and "
" There, there, that Avjll do," aaid ifr. Houthmayeil, petulantly. "You never will have a spark of syslem, if you live to be a hundreil years old. It's strange I ean't accustom you to a more methodical way of thinking."
" I am sorry, dear," said the lady, meekly, " bnt J-ou know, juat as you wero telling mo, yesterday, Charley's wife camo in to ask for plain sewing, and really my poor head got so con¬ fused, that "
"Charley's wife!" roared Lsaiali, whirling round so rapidly lhat Ills coat tails narrowly escaped a conllagration. "Thero you go again, Mrs. Southmay¬ ed. Didn't I expressly charge you not to mention Charley or his wife?— 'adeath, madam! you'll havo 'em out before your Cousin Ilemiiigton, as sure !LS vou'ro alive."
"I didn't think, Is.iiah—I'm very sorry."
" You'll have cause to bo sorry, ma'am!" enunciated laaiah, growing vory red in the face. " I dou^t want Ilaymoud Kemington to know any¬ thing about Cliarlej'. Eet him suppose IhatlDharley is safe in Californ ia whero he ought to bo. Confound tho lazy, idle fellow, I don't believe lie's a bit sicker than I am. I think that when u man gets to that stage of life when he's bothering all his relations for money, lie ought to be shut up in somo pubiie institution—I do, upon my word."
"He's your brother, dear," mildly suggested the Duteli doll of a wife, who evidently hail a littlo heart somewhere iu her internal meclmiiiam, " and poor Vaniil' wears such shabby bonnets."
" My brother! Is that nny reason he shoulil pester my lifo out of me, wilh liis overlaating begging notes and let¬ ters, and his old whito hat bobbing about among the clerks in my ollice? I'll jnit a stop to it, onee forall-1 will, Mrs. Southmayed."
" But Fanny tells me she only wants a liltlo work to keep them from starva¬ tion.   There aro six little ones, Isaiah,
and •"
" Fanny tells you tho moon is mado ofgreenciiee.se, and you believe it!" Irately interrupted her husband, — " Charley's coming to my ollleo this af¬ ternoon, and itwill bo for the last timo. The idea of his asking mo to employ that tall starving girl of hia as goverii- e.sa to my cliildren."
Mrs. Soutliniayed was silent. In hor own secret heart she would much havo preferred gentle Clara Southmayed to tho French mademoi.selle, who domin¬ eered over the whole family aud wore green apeetaclea and false curls; butshe bad loug siune learned lhat her will must beud beforo that of her impera¬ tive lord and master.
" AVhat time will you havp dinner?" she asked, iruietly.
" Well-si.^ will i)rob.ably be siiin- ciently early. The Iberia comes in at four—und of course Mr. Itemington will send for nie immediately. Now, don't forget the port-wine sauco for the ducks —nor the fresh currant jelly—and see til aeleetiiig the raisins and aluioiids yourself, my dear. That's all I remom- ber ju.st now—but if any improvement should suggest iLself to me, I can easily send up a note from the ollico."
And r.saiali Southmayed loftily jiut on his hat and went out, a portly aud well-to-do siiecimen of tbo Kew Y'ork iiitrchant. jNor need he havo taken to hiiiwelf BO much inward credit for his presentmood of serenegood liuuior with the world at large. Now men aregooil- humored who einno from a bright lire, after a breakfast of real ojd Java coHeo, witb iiroiled chickens auil hot rolla.
JJreakfast at Charles Soiitlmjayeil's, was iiuilo a diderent alKiir,
" Mamma, can I havo a littlo more molasses with my bread?"
" Hush, Tommy," said Clara, with Judiciouu warning, " mamma has no more molasses for yoii,"
•'If Tommy ilon'tliko his Iire.-id with¬ out molasses," ehimeil In a hiiugry- eyed littlo elfoppoaite, "I would e.at it." " Why ilon't wo have millfiM'd water, this morningV" asked Charley Junior, eyeing hia cup of cold water rather ilis- (astefully.
"lJi'eause,"proniptlyreBpnni)eil Tom¬ my, "tho milk mau aaid ho wouldn't leavoany more milk till the old bill was .settled. Oh, mamma, wouldn't it be nice to have lob) of money?"
"Hush, children," said Mrs. .South¬ mayed, deftly transferring lu-r own portion of bread to the plate oftbo hun¬ gry-eyed elf before mentioned. "Siire- Jy, Charles, yoii won't think of going riuttliiscold moruingwith that cough?" " I think the fresh air will do mo good, my loye," auawgred tlio pallid, gray-haired mnn, whoso aunkeii eyes and colorle-ss lips, jilainly betokened the presence of some wearing, organic disease—probably consumption—"ami, besides, you know I muat sco laaiah tii-day."
" Jsaiah, indeed," repeated the wifo, with a toss of her bead. " Much good It will do, U. appeiil to isaiab. A liard- hearted, cold-bloodeil, money-worship¬ ing—"
" jAfy dear—my dear," inlerrupted tho poor invalid, " ho ia ii)y brolber."
" I uan't help it," sobbed Mrs. Sgutli- mayod, " ho has i)0 more Ijeart than a block of litoue. Clara, bring me the rolls of work, dear."
"Aro theyaoldiera'clothes, mamma?" questioned curious little'i'ommy, "Are you going to sow on tliat pretty yellow braid?"
Uut Mrs. Southmayed did not answer, Sho kuow that alio must sow diligently all the hours of the short winter day, to earn the forty cents which wore to feed tho hungry ehild-mouths around
her, 	
" Carriage, sir ? carriago ?"   " Have a- nieo hack, sir—take you all the way up Broadway for twodollars?" "Carriage' sir? the best house?" " Now, then sir —here's your man."
The Iberia had finally moored her ponderous length in the blue sparkles of the Bay, and the litlie steamboat had
Justbroughttheeagerpas.sengersaaIiorc. Amid the tumult of the piers, tho rattle of stages, and the distant roar of Broad¬ way, oldRaymond Eemington stalked through the crowd, with his hat slouch¬ ed over his eyes, aud his hauds cL-usped behind his baek, .is placidly as if ho were still among the bending iialnis and feathery acacias of the far East.
"No uso pesterin' lhat old cove, Jim!" ejaeulaled a hackman to his persistent partner, who was following the safiVon-faced stranger, with velio- ment praises of sorao particular eijuip- age. "1 ain't sure that sort o' fellow jiuts money in our pockets."
llaymoiid llemingtoii smiled grim¬ ly to'himself, as ho mentally acknowl¬ edged the truth of tho man's inference. Y'et, the rich old Eaat Indian, could prohably havo bought up half the iias- sengers of the Iberia.
Ho aat down by tlio hastily kindled, anioky firo of the liotel-parlor, uncon¬ sciously shivering in the wintry drauglila,
"And thisis what I've looked for¬ ward to, for th I rty y ears—th i rly years," mused Raymond Remington, with a cold thrill of disappointment at liia heart, " There's no use disguising tho fact tbat this isn't juat what I used to ilioam about when I first wont out to riiilia. They say money can do any¬ thing—can it buy mo a welcome?"
He sat motionless a moment, then slarb'd up witli a sudden impulse.
" 1 'II go out and aeo laaiah Southni.ay- ed—Isaiah and I wero boys together, and Charlev, Poor Charley! laaiah wriles mo lie ia iu California, doing verv well. 1 wish ho eould havo been here 1" ahaUo hia old friend's hand—I used to bo fond of Charley. Isaiah's well enough, but someliow I can't di¬ vest myself of the idea that it's my niouev lie's counting. Perhaps Iv'o grown distruatlHl and doubting—it's very po.ssible—but Charley used to bo my"favorite cousin." Raj-moiid Remington walkingth rough tlie surgingeurrenlof Broadway, iii his old accustomed waj', willi his eyes bent on tbo pavement, and his hands clasp¬ ed ill ono auother behind him. felt more and more lonelj- and dislieartened as tho duak closed drearily over tbo great Babylon of sight and sound, and tho gas-lamps began togliinmi'rlikeyellow stars througii the twilight. Tbe eity hud changed almoat maglcallj--the splendid streets of his boyliiioil wore diiigj' and desortod now, nnd new thor¬ oughfares had risen in glistening rows of marblo and brownstouo.
" Jt didn't seem Iiito coming home," pondered the yellow-faced East Indian, more diaappolnted than lie was willing to confess to himself.
There was but oneshaded light burn¬ ing in the littlo back olllce, dedicated to Isaiah Soutlimaj-ed's .special use and benefit, and the clerks in tliecouiiting- houao beyond, glanced furtively over their slioulders and whispered to one another various private opinions res¬ pecting the "awful bad temper of their chief, on tbis particular eveuing.
Isaiah .Soulbmayed was cross—and perhaps not without rc-ison. Six o'clock was approaching, and no nolo had been received from the rich JCast Jmlian, .summoning hia obsequious relative to attend his leianre—moreover, ho had lon good reason to believe thattbeducks wore apoiling, and tho liali alweil in wine would bo a tolal failuro.
"It's verj' singular-it's positively nnaecoiiiitablo," said Is.aiali .Southmay¬ ed to himself forat least thu ninth lime within tho half-hour, " Now then-, air, what's w.inting?"
For a pale-faced clerk with a quill behind hia e.ar had iuainuated his bead meekly througii   the  half-open door.
" If J'OU please, sir, a gentle-f—I mean a mau, wants to speak witli j-ou."
" A man. Haven't I aaid I wmildu't seo aiij' one to-night, you idiot?"
" Please sir, he says liji's a—a relation of yours, air."
laaiah ciuglit up his big olllco ruler vindictivelj', hut restrained his inclina¬ tion to throw it at tlio ollender's head, luckilj' remembeiiug in time, tliat Michael Ariiott WJia a now clerk, and consequeiitlj' not an experienced one.
"It's that begging rascal, Charlej'," roared Isaiah, losing all self-restraint in hia towering pa-ssion. " I'll settle his bu.siness for him. .Send him in, Arnott."
The .spare, bowed figure, wearing, bj- somo curious coincidence, just such a white hat as Isaiah had anathematized as belonging to poor broken-down Char¬ ley, had scarcelj' crossed tliu Ibrcshold of the darkened back ollice befoio tlio indignant mercliant gavu loose to hia feelings.
"Bon't come a step nearer, sir. Aren'tyou lusliamed of j'onrself, coming liere in that absurd dre.sa, lo degrade mo beforo all my clerks? I won'tgivo you a cenl^nor I woulnd't if yon were slarvingin Ihogutters ! Nowj'on have my ultimatum, Charles Southmaj'cd, and I hope j'ou'ro aalislied with it. I ara uot bound to provide for all mj'poor relations, and I tell j'on so, onee for all. I haven't opened j'our last begging let¬ ter—Michael, hand that note to the person—and I return it to j'ou, asa
Eroof that I want no moro of 'em. And want you distinctly to iinderstand tliat tho next timo j'ou como liero, I shall hand you over to the police. Michael, show him out!"
And Isaiah Southmayed phinged hia Iicail ill among a wilderness of mam¬ moth ledgers and daj'-booka, as a sig¬ nal that the interview had terniinated. The spare, bowed figure turned slow¬ ly, without a word, and glided through tho coiintlng-houao Avliere the clerks wore already turning down the gas¬ lights and oatentjiliouslj' iireparing for departure, inlo tlie open atreet.
" A singular welcome-a strangely worded welcome," muttored Itaymond Reminglon Ut him.self, ius ho mechani¬ cally paused beneath tlie glare of the lampa .without, and opened the iinaeal- ed envdlupc that had been given into his nerveless fingers by tho ollicious Arnott.
" Poor Charley! poor Charley!" he murmured. "And hero is Charley's address at tlio bottom. Starving, suf¬ fering wifo and liltlo ones, in wantof the commonest necessaries of life, eli ? I think I'll call on Charley. His own brother has repulsed him fiom his door. Perhaps he'll bo glad to seo old Ray¬ mond Remington !"
Mrs. Southmayed wns still slilehing laboriously at the soldiers' clothes; and poor Clara, who had been out all day answering advertisemenLs for " a gov¬ erness," waa aetting tlie tablo for a scanty evening meal; while tho littlo ones played quietlj' in the corner; and Cliarles Southmayed lay iijion tho worn sofa, with closed eyes, thinking sorrow¬ fully Of what future lay beloro his be¬ loved ones, when hcshould bo removed beyond all eare of trial,
" Mother!" ejaculated Clara; "aome ono is knocking at tho door. If it should be tho cress old grocer with his bill.   And wo have no money!"
"But it isn't the cio.sa old grocer!" said a hearty voice,
Andin walked a lail, .yellow-faced man, with Ills hands behind Ills back, and two littlo bbu-.k eyussparlfliiig gon- ially boneati) shaggy eyebrows,
"It's llaymond Romiiigton—j-our coiiain—Charlej' Soiithniayeil! My bi|j', I'm glad to see you I"
The East Indian had nn reason to complain of tho welcomo accorded lo him in tli'm humble little househoUl; for, in less tlian llvo niiniites, every child was clinging about liis knee- pretty Clara crying on his kind ahoiil- iler, and Charley and his wife scarcelj' more self-restrained,
" I've come to the right houso, al last," thouglit old Raymond Reming¬ ton, with new happinessjn his Iieart,
And when, the next daj', laaiah Southmayed'a elegant carriago slojiped at the hotel to convey Mr. Remington to ilia own reaidonco, thu ycllow-fiiced oldgcntleman overwhelmed his relative witb contrition, by dryly rcmiuding bim of the ollico scenu the night before. "Aly dear Raymond," ejaculated Isaiah, lurning whito and red, "how eould I have made such a mistake ?"
" It was an awkward mistake-verj'," assented Remington, curtly,
" But you will accompany me homo now?"
" No; I'm going to set up housekeep¬ ing with my cousin Charley,"
"But, my dear Reminglon," spas- modieally urged Southmayed,"surely"- " I've made up my mind," shortly answered Mr. Rpmingtou; "I don't lancy the general stylo In which you address y,,nr relatlona, laaiah. Poor Charley always mis my favorite ; and you know," „,ldeil Raymond, with a gleam of grim humor irradiating his face, I am not bound to provide for all my poor relations.
And Isaiah Boutlimayed retreated, convinced that one little mistake had forfeited liim the golden gleam of those Eaat Indian hoards.
He did not refiect lhat his Avliole life was "a mistake,"
LETTEE FROM "CARLETON." viKw OF iioxfi KONC!—oritur SJtOlCrXG.
HoNO KoNo, June 10, ISGS. " There aro tlio A.sses' Ears," said tho captain of our steamer, after looking ateadily into tho northwest. It was our first glimpse of Cliina—two black specs on tho distant horizon, dimly seen througii tho haze. By and by tlie.y lie- camo sharp hills, rising from the sea, and we saw that they were islands al the entranco to Hong Kong. There uro nunieroua other ialanda doiting the lio- rizon—all of tbem with shores so bold that we can run within cable's lenglli of tbo land. The Portugueso called them the Imdrones, " tho islands of thieves." The pirates aro not all dead, for only last week a British gunboat fell in with six heavily armed junks, a fow miles southwest of ua, and had a ainart light, capturing ono and sending shot and shell into the others.
Al'PItOACiriNO TIIK tlAKllOU,
Wo have had aheas'y sea all daj', and heavy clouds also, with sharp lightning and grand tliuiidering.s. For seventeen daj's the Clan Alpine steamer has been our homo, and though wo havo had a pleasant Captain, good service aud smooth aeas nearly all of the time, it is with pleasure that we find oui-selves, on Saturday evening, entering the harbor of Hong Kong. Wo go in by the north¬ ern entrance. The thunder clouds havo rolled awiij', llio full moon is rising from the sea, and wo have a magnifi¬ cent view of this harbor—one of the Loil in the world.
It is a narrow entrance-.sleep, high hills, green from the sea beach to the topmost peak, ledges of white granite liko that of Cape Ann, witli here and there patches of red earth on the liill- aiilea. Rounding a point of hmd we behold the mountain slope, gleaming with lights. We glide nearer, tliroad¦ iug our way past shiiis and boats, and drop anchor at ten o'eloek, too late to mako a landing before miiniing.
Till! TOWN'.'
At snuriso wo look out upon the scene. Beforo ua, or on tho aoatli side, lies tho town, at tho fool of tbo moun¬ tain whicii rises 1500 feet, sharp and steep, from the aea. It is not a jumble of houses, but a city of palaces—large edifices with colonnades and verandas, the residences or " hongs" of the mer¬ chants. Steamers, ships, barques and thoiisanda of Chineae boats are afioal in the harbor. The United States war ships, thePlseataquaaiul Maiimee, re¬ cently arrived, swing by their cables in the atroain. Behind us is tho main land of China—green hills, or moun¬ tains rather, with deep ravines, and shores indented with baj'sand harbors, where tho largest ships, can find safo anchorage.
Thu bay of Naples U broader, the mountains of Lebanon give a lotlier background to tho harbor ofBcyrout, but there aro few porta iu tho wido world whicii for picturesquonesa and beautv equal that of Hong Kong. Jt is so eimipletely land-lockeil tlmt ves- .sels are bnt little expo.seil ti> Hie terrilic ty)ihooiis whicii Komctinies sweep over the waters of China.
The town is siluated on an i.sland, eleven miles long, from two to live wide,, containin^p t.wentj'-nino square miles. It is separated from the nniiii land by this narrow alrail. It was ceded lo Great Britain in IStl, at a coal lo the royal IreiLsnry of $200,11110, It is a free port, and the town is increasing in population with a rapidity equal to that of American cities. Jnl.s.^1 the population was only iJllOil; liy the cen¬ sus of ISU.) it was :2.5,I)II0, of which only •I'lW wero Europeans and Americans. The present population is not far from UU.IKU). Itis a colony by ibself, hav¬ ing a governor and council appiiinted by Her Jlajesty. In the r.ritish Blue Jiook it ia known ils the (Colony of Vic¬ toria, though the world over il goes lij' the name of Hong Jvong, tho Chinese for " Sweet Water." I'u rcr waler can¬ not bo fouud tban that which is dis¬ tilled from the clouds on these hills which rise before us-especially when you have a big picco of Boston ice in your tumbler.
.Twentj'-lwo hundred vessels ainl steamei-s, with a tonnageof onemillion one hunilred thou?aiiil tons, eutered the port last year. Tliey are from overj' quarler Df'i.f llic globe. J t is Hie great mail cenlro of the East—mails to Eu¬ rope, to Australia, Batavia, JMaiiila, Ja¬ pan aud Hie United Stiites. Twice ev¬ ery montli tho 1*. and O. steamers sail from Suez, once a month to Australia, twiceamiinUi to.faiiaii. Onceamnntli the- h'rencb mail arrives and departs, coniiecling with Siani. Two stcanieis ply regularly tn Calcutta. I'lie raeilic Alail leaves regularly oui-e a month for .San I'laneisco. 'J'liree or lour times a week there aro steamers lo Canton, and another to jMacao. Ho Weslern enter¬ priso is making it.sulf fell in Hiese w.aters.
Tlio town is healthy, Hioiigh situated on the nortii side of tlic Victoria peak, and tliereforo does not receive the iien- efil of the soutliwest mnnsoona, which blow steadily during Hie summer moiiHis. Tho only drawback is the heat—theHiermnmeter in Uio summer ranging from .Si) to'.Ml.
(iHTTINll A.siroui:.
lliindreds of boats aro around Hie ship, crafLs of iiidescribablo propiiiv timia, junks with high poops and rud- iloi-s as largo as a barn door ; sampans, small boals with matting stretched on bamboos to form a little cabin, and an¬ other description of boat where Hie fani- il.y live on board, sleeping at night in a chest of drawer.1. The drawers are built into tlio sido of tho boat, and aro cloaed during the daj'. In these I'amilj- boats Hiere ia great economy of space; every inch is occupied. Think of a family of father, mother, several sons and daughters, agranilfatlier and grand¬ mother, living on a craft a litlie larger Hian a whale boat, lilUe uichins tum¬ bling about Hie deck without eloHiiug, growing lo inauliood, to old age, rear¬ ing a family of llieir own, their sl.sters living with Hiem Hjl niiirriedoirio Uie young men of aome oHier boat. Here thoy eat, sleep, work, play, drink lea, gamlilo with dominoes—here to-daj', to- inorriiw .somuwliere else—as happj- its they whositin well-fiiniislieii drawing rooms of Arlington street or Common¬ wealth avenue.
Wo tako our seat iu a sampan while ourb.iggago Is put into another. The cujitain of our boat ia a liealthy looking woman of thirty-fivo or forty, witli a wido open month, showingasuperb set of tecHi, Sliv aita at tho helm, not room enougli for her to stand, while her hus¬ band and three sons ply theoai-a. The captain of the other aampan is her daughter, a girl of abouteighleen, wiUi bright black eyes, regular .and interest¬ ing featurea, and a bewitching smile. SllO is lilhu and agile, makes Hio nar bend in iier hands as ahe dips il in Hie wave.

aoiNci TO ciriiucir.
It Is Sunday morning, and afler weeks of dojirivation of Sabbath aor- vieo, it is a pleasure to hear the chlircli boll and to enter a Hou.so of worship. There aro no public carriages in Hong Kong and very few privato ones. A few of tbe Englishmen have dog carts and other fantastic carriages equally uncomfortable. It is hardly worUi while lo keep carriages wiien Hie long¬ est possible drive is not over five miles, so everybody rides in sedan cliaira, which are carried by two Chinamen, or if tho distance is great, by four, Tho
chair Is a bamboo box, wiHi a light frame work and green painted canvas to shelter you from the ann, with cur¬ tains at the side whieli may be rolled np or let down at pleasure, with Iwo long, springing bamboo poles, whicli the bearera placo on their shoulders.
Y'ou tako your seat in one the boxes with UlO feeliug Hiat you aro getting into a hen-coop. Then you riso from Uie ground, and go springing up and down, homo at a rapid pace by tlie quick-stepping carriei-s. Altliough it was Sabbatli morning, I am confident lhat every ono of your leaders, had they been Uiere, would have laughed outright lo Hnd Hiemselves going up and down ill a hen-coop, tossed by two men in bliic cotton blouses, shoes wilh soles an Inch thick whieii turn up at Hic toe, and wearing hats wiHi brims orilirec feet diameter, curving from cir¬ cumference to centre, in outline liko the cover of a tea-pot, each bearer with a four-foot pigtail banging down his buck!
Jt is a procession of sedans; men and women arc bobbing up and down all the way lo church. Jtis so strange a scene, and experience, Hiat wo can liardly tell whether wo aro in or out of the body, though wo know that we arc inased.an. It sets us to dreaming of old pietures-of scones of the old times when men were borne about tho streets of London, in just suuli machines, with liiik-buaiei-a going before tlieni in dark nigliLs. Arriving at Hio church, we fiird Hio vard as thick wiHi coops as Faiicuil Hull .square wiUi baskets on a grand market ilaj'.
The illusion Hiat wo Iiave somehow gol into a past age-that we have gone back two hundred years-that.wo hiiye got into some straugo land—is not dis¬ pelled, but rather increased when wo get outof Uiesedans, Enter the church, beneath a portico supported by tall pil¬ lars, look up the aisle and behold beau¬ tiful staiiied-gla.s3windows, wiHi adoz- 011 machines in motion, suspended by cords from the roof, swinging back¬ ward and fordward, kept in motion by other cords running through the sides of UlO building and outof tho windows, pulled by other Chinamen with broad brimmed hats and long tails, and then to hear thu deep notes of the organ, a choir of boys, the voice of the clergy¬ man and tho responses of the people, with such a mingling of past and pres¬ ent, of old and new, of sober Hiings and funny Hiings, that wo sit aa in a dream, and wonder whero wo arc.
.SUNDAY IN' IIONCI KONd.
Tho SabbaUi is well observed in HongKoug by tho European popula- Uoii. The wholesale Chinese merchants closo their places of liualness, not from levcrenco to the day, I suspect, but be- caii.sc Uiey cannot do business with the Jiuropeans on that day. The retail shops in the Chinese quarters aro open and business lliero goes on as on other days. The slioemakers and joiners aro at'Hieir benches, Uie huckater wiUi his baakcls aiispondcd from a bamboo over hisshouldei-s—in appearance awalking jiairof scales—cries his vegetables as on all iitber days of tlio week. Thero are two services at tho English churcli, al¬ so niiLss in the morning and vespers in Uic evening at tho Roman CaUiolic caUiedial, Tho Cliinesc theatres are open, also the oi>iiini halls, and thero is the ever livelj' .scene in tho harbor.
OrrUM SMOKlN'fl.
Wo hail an opportunity to see opium smoking on the steamers during tho passage from .Singapore. The opium, wliich, as all .your leadei-s know, waa forced upon China by Hie East India C.impany, is fir.st reduced from a solid lo liquid form by boiling it in water. When ready for the pipe it is about the consistency aud color of tar. It is pro- pared and put np in litUo lin bo.xes bv tlieehemist, being brought from India in the solid cake. Itis so powerful in ils eircels, that a hundredth ofan ounce ia sunicicnl lo intoxicate a beginner, tliough an old smoker can stand aquar¬ ter ofan ounce. Jf Hie drug is uaed at regular intervals at a ceriain iinur eve¬ ry day, UlO smoker, in a short time, cannot get past that hour without his pipe. Jle beconiea restless, nervous, feverisli, irrilablo, outof .sorbs, and en¬ dures terrible torture. Jf ho obtains a pijie, takes a few wliilla, he is Hie hap¬ piest of mortals. Hu nasaes from Pur¬ gatory to Paradise. Once gi.'t into lhe habit and there ia no brcakingoir. Jl is !us impii.saiblo for a smoker lo leave oil aa lor a boat b> ascend the raiiida of Ni¬ agara. The viclini ia doomed, II is a i-oslly vice, and Uie very poor cannot indtilge in it. It costs an invelerato smoker aliout S]r, ]ior inouHi, and Hiu vice iu a short time loads to listleasness, indolence, iiegleclof bu.siness, incapaci¬ ty, ilisinuliiiaUon for labor. Hie break down of lhu cynsHluUim, di.sease and horrible dcaUi, The Uliinu.se have a .saying that opium smokers make the day ni.ght and Hie night day, and Uiosc who givu tliemselves up to ihe pipe are called " opium devils."
What a stinging rebuke was that giv¬ en by the l':mpcror Tail Jviiang in IS12, to Sir Henry roltinger, the Euglisli ambaaaador, when ho insiated upon the iiitroducHon of opium : "4 cannot," aaid tbe ICmporer, "])revcnt the intro¬ duction of Uie poison ; gaiiKsecking and "•Mmiptnien, for prolit and .seusualitj-, rtitl defeal my wishes, but nothing will induce me to derive a revenue from tlie vice and mi.serj' of mj' people."
OnetwelfUi of Hic revenue of East India conies from opium—clear prolit to tlicUoveriimeiit—which raises and sells the opium on its own account, wliicli pays asubsidy to the Frencli at Poiidi- chervy to refrain from cultivating it. So Christian England, with the sword, with cannon and shell, deals wiHi heaUien Cliina.
But here arc the smokers, two of whom lying on a liiat with a pillow nn¬ der their iiead.s—a little Hn box of Hie opium, a lighted lamp aud a pipe be¬ tween Uiem, all ready for a descent to theiriiaradiso, Tlie iiijio has a clay bowl and a wooden stem eigliteen inch¬ es long. One of the .smokers dips a wire into the opium paste, takea up a globnleof Uiesizeof apea, puts it into the bowl, holds it to Uie fiame of Hie lamp, takes UlO smoko into Hio lungs Uirough Hie niouHi, leltiug it nut through his nose, A halfdozen whills will use up tho globule. He refills tho pipe, hands it to his companion who takea his turn. It is a study to watch Uio coming on of Iho happy feeling. At the (tommencemeiit Hiey aro hag¬ gard and woe-begono ; Uie hanker is on Uiem; tlicj'are restless and uneasy. A few whiUs and Ihcy feel belter-re- freahed ; a few moro and thoy arc aillj*. Ono of Uiem has a countenance now whicli ia agood counterpart to the drunken bacclius recently dug up from Uioruinaof the tempio oV Uiat god un¬ der the shadow of. the Acropolia at Athens. He grins, screws up his ej-es, giggles, makes funny faces, lauglia, not broadlj' with a legitimate humor, but with a line te-be-he, indicaUve of Hie last stage of silliiie.s.s. AnoHier pull at the pipe aud be is down in liisparadi.so among the gods and llmvera. He will be happy a %ybile, but Uicre is a hell beyond—devils innumerable, tortures 1111 utifr.Mc—Boston .Toiirmil.

A STORY FOR THE IITTIE FOLKS.
GRANDMOTHER'S .STORY,
"May I como In, grandma?" said a sweet litlie voice flt tbe door of her grandmother's room, " Mamma said I might, unless you wero asleep or busy, and I wasn't any trouble,"
" Como in 7 Of courao you may, Lit¬ tlo Blossom," said the good srandmoth- er, holding out her Iiands to the dear litUo girl who camo dancing into tho room with her dolly liugged tightly in her arms.
"One, two. three—up alio comes !" and ill n minute IjilUo Blossom was nestled in her grandmoHier's lap, whero alio knew sho was always welcome.
"And what has my little girl been doing this afternoon ?"
" Playing with Dolly, and telling her stories, but I got tired because she wouldn't answer me. I wish she was a littlo livo baby, and tlion she would shut her eyes and uot always keep them open and never wink. Don't you think littlo livo babies arc so aweet, grand¬ ma?"
" Yea, indeed, Littlo Blossom."
" Now, grandma, if you love mo so, lilcase tell mo a story," said Little Blossom, in a sweet coaxing voice that no ono could over resist.
"A atory? Well, what shall it bo about?"
" O, a kitty, ov a dog. or a babj'. I don't care which."
" Well, Uien, I will tell you a true story about a babj'."
" Alaiiy yeai-s ago," said tlio good grandmother, beginning her story, " in a warm country, far away, tiiero was a little boy baby, who was just as sweet and lovely as a babj' could be.
"Hismother loved hira dearlj-, and was, no doubt, very proud of him; but she took no pleasure in showing his aweet face lo her friends, or in earryiiig him about in Hie fresh air and snushino.
" You will not wonder when I tell you that the king of that land was so wicked that he aaiil that all tho boy- babies belonging so tiio Israelites muat be thrown into ihe river,
"Now the baby'a niolher w-as one of the laraelitea, aud .sho was .so much afraid lhat tho wicked men whom the king sent would find her baby, thatshe kept him hidden away aomewhere till lie waa three months old. By and by ahe found thatshe could not hide hiin any longer, J suppose because ho had grown to be such a great baby.
" So she mado a basket of a kind of coar.se grass, called bulrushes, and cov¬ ered it on tho outside Willi pilch, so that no water could get in. Tlicn she put the dear little baby into tlie basket, and carried it down to the side of the river, and hid it among the tall grass that grew there. I dare aay slio ki.saed her precious littlo one a great many tinies before alio left liim lliero alone, and her tears must have fallen like rain upon his sweet face."
"Of course," said LitHc Blo.saom, "Hio wicked men wouldn't think of looking there for a liaby. It was a very iiico )dace lo bide hiin."
" The little babj''a sister," conlinued Hie grandmoUier, " who was manj' years older than ho was, stayed all the timo whero she could see what happen¬ ed to him, and yet she kept far enough away, so that if Hie wicked men camo they would not. know what sho camo there for.
" By and by she really saw some one coming. It w.as tho king's daugliter, who was walking .along the side of Hic river with her maids. She was go¬ ing to take a bath in Hie waier.
" When she came near the high grass, she aaw Hie basket, and'lolil onc of her inaiila to go and bring it lo her. When she opened it and saw the dear little baby with tears in its preltj' eyes and a grieved look on his sweet faco, her lieart was touched, and she said she would have this dear bab.v for ber own. Sho knew, ofcourse, Hiat ho was oneof Hie Israelite children, and that be was jiut thero in tliat little snug hiding- place ao that Hie wicked men whom her father sent ahoiild not find him.
" I auppiwo that ahe was quite aure that her father would apare the lifo of this dear litHe babe If sho aaked him, for, altliough the king was a ver.v cruel man, I have no doubt hu loved liis own daughter dearlj'.
"Then the litUc baby's sistei', wlio" was looking on, with her heart beaHiig fast, I ilare say, .asked if ahe should go and find a niir.se aniong the Israelite wonicii.
" The kimi's dauglilcr was very glad to bavo her go, and the little girl ran and called her mother. So the dear little babj'was given into ita own moth¬ er's arms, and Uic king's daugliter told her lo take care of him for her, andshe would pay hnr money for her trouble.
"How glad the poor mother must have beeii"to have her dear little child once more ! She look him home; and was no longer afraid that the wicked men would come and cany him .awaj'.
"His loving sister could now play with him oul of doors or anywhere she chose, and no one had to cry ' hush,' for fear Hio liUle ono would laugh or crj' aloud."
" JSecause," explained LitUoElosaom, " the wicked men wero not hunting for liim now ; an it waa no matter how miieli noise ho made."
When he grew larger lie went lo livo with Hio kiii.g'a dnugliler in a splendid liomc, and alio called him iier .son ; but I havo no doubt ho loved hia own dear mother best, and went often to seo licr,
"Tho king's daughter called him Moses, because iMoses meant 'drawn out,' and ho was, you know, drawn out ofthe waler."
The littlo girl drew a deep breaUi of saHsfacUon wlien her grandmoUier fin¬ ished speaking.
"That's just the sweetest storj'!" said she. " What a darling little baby Uiat was, and how cunning ho must have looked in his litlie grass basket; I thank you so much, dear grandma, for telling it to me."
Then Little Blossom aat quite still a long Hme, Hiinking over tlio sweet .sto¬ ry whicii although so often told, ia al¬ waya ao fresh and full of interest to old and ymiiig.—Children's Magauiie.
LIGHT AND HEALTH.
The dark aide of a street is far more subject to di.seiiso than the light side. Sir .fames Wj'lie found three tinies aa many cases o"f diaeiise on tlie shaded aide of the barracks at St. Petersburg as on the other side. Dupuytreii ia said to have wrought a cure in the caso of a lady in a seeminglj' despeiale condi¬ tion, by simplj' removing her from her dark qiiartei-s to a brighter residence, and keeping her its much aa possible in the daylight. Tiiero is no lietter testi- inony on aiij'such point than that of Miss Florence Nighlingalc. What alio saj-a ofthe value of light lo those who arc ill indicates no less ils necessity for tliosii who are well:
"Second oul.v to fresh air, however, I should bo inclined to rank liglit in importance for the sick. Direct sun¬ light, not only daylight, is necessary for speedy recovery, Instiinces could be given almoat endless, where in dark wards, orin wards with anorUierii as¬ pect, even when* tliorougliI.y warmed, or in wards witii liorrowed light, even when Ihorouglily ventilated, the sick cpuld not liy any mcjpis be made .speed¬ ily to rcoover."
Very few iiereons .seem to have a due sense of the luxury and benefit of ajiri- ca/i'o», or inimer.sion in tho suushino bath, which every fair day will furnish gratuitously U> all applicants, Onoaii- ciont man, very poor, and verj-simple In most mailers, whose clay pipel.soine- tinies repleiiisli for him, is almost the only pel-sou E hajipen lo know who sccina really U> enjoy the aunahino aa mucli aa if bo were a vegetable.

But there are examples of still moro ar¬ dent dcvoUon than hers.
