Far away, beyond the starland, In the bright celestial bowers Where tints seen in rainbow arches, Blend their hues in sweetest flowera. In that land of joy and brightness.

Is a spot of varied sheen Angel forms in robes of whiteness. Glide 'mid banks of emerald green. Flowers with hues of gold and sapphire, Fill their garden's fair recess Angel wardens guard the entrance, To this bower ot happiness. On a morn of light and beauty Bending 'neath the budding boughs, Two bright forms, in earnest Whisper thus, in accents low "Dost thou mark that tiny leaflet. Bursting from the dew gemmed mould I am thinking to transplant it, To an earthly garden fold I have seen in yonder planet, A heart garden hei'ged with vines Each sweet tendril of affection O'er love's lattice twines.

All their flowers are earthly glories, Blooming but to fade ere night Let ns give them their immortal, Our fair plant to cheer their sight." Then the other answered gently "It will inisa our tender care, Yet if you would make the love gift, I will guard it even there." So away on downy pinions. Through the azure depths he flew. And within this earthly garden, Placed the plant of heavenly hue. There it grew, so lair so tender Shed its prefume 'mid the bowets But its graceful stalk was slender, Earth ne'er reared immortal flowers. So the angel took it gently.

Dews of love its petals weighed And again beyond the starland, To its own bright home conveyed. There its sweet leaves are now falling, There 'tis budding out anew. And the angel gently whispers, To the loved onus where it grew Weep not that I took the blossom, Eie 'twas blighted, sere and old Eaitly stains would soon have sullied, Earthly winds were far to cold. Weep not that we gave it to you, As a tried test of love For when all your flowera are fading, You have still this bud above. Father, Mother has your flower.

Been by angels borne above Jesus could not see it wither. So he called it in his lovo. Xow 'tis safe, harm cannot reach it, Garnered like his golden sheaves It will nestle 'mid his tresses, On his bosom fold its leaves. Franklin. 1805.

gtt 0 a jj From the SpviDgfield Republican. ACROSS THE CONTI.SE.NT. The Chinese in CuUfarnin and Other Pacific Slates What they do, and how Behave, and how they are Treated The Grand Chinese Dinner, and My Experience with It. San Francisco, August 18, 1865. I havo been waiting before writing of the Chinese in these Faeifio states, till my experience of them hud culminated in the long promised grand dinner with their leaders and aristocrats.

This came last eight, atid while 1 am full of the subject shark's fins and bird nest soup digest clowly let me write of this unique and iniportaut element in the population and civilization of this region. There are no fewer than sixty to eighty thou sand Chinamen here. They are scattered all over the states and territories of the coast, and number from otie-eighth to one-sixth of the entire population. We bcgaD to see them at Austin, in Nevada, and have found them every-where since, iu country and city, in the woods. mong the mines, north in the British dominions on the coast, in the mountains every- where that work- mo oe uone, anu money gained by patient, jdodd.ng I 1 1 lhey nave oceu cuuung since 1852, when was the largest em.gra tion.

A hundred thousand in all have come, but to 40,000 have goneback. None come really to eUy thev do not identify themselves with the 1 i I b- thpsp tee inia it teelmgs it has driven them bad, their naturally self-contained na- upon tures and habits. So thev brine, here and retain all thier 'home ways of living and dressing, their old associations and reli- inroads among them. There is an intel- ligent and faithful one here (Rev. Mr.

Loomis), who has an attractive chapel and school, but his followers are few, and not rapidly increasing. But he and his predecessors and assistants have been and are doing a good work in teaching the two diverse races to better understand each other, and in showing them how they can be of value to one another. They have been the constant and urgent advocates of the personal rights of the Chinese. The religion of the latter is a cheap, showy idolatry, with apparently nothiug like fanaticism in it, and not a verp deep hold in itself on their natures. "Josh" is their God or idol, and the iJo3h" houses are small affairs, fitted up with imagis and altars a good deal after the style of cheap Catholic churches Europe.

Their whole civilization impresses nie as a low, disci-1 pliued, perfected, sensuous sensualism. Everything iu their life and their habits seems cut and dried like their food. There is no sign of that abandonment to an emotion, to a passion, good or bad, that marks the Western races. Their great vice is gambling; that is going on constantly in their houses and shops; and commercial women and barbaric music minister to its indulgence. Cheap lotteries are a common form of this passion.

Opium-smoking ranks next; aud this iB believed to be indulged in more exten sively among them here than at home, since there is less restraint from relatives aud authorities, and the means of procu ring the article are greater. The wildly brilliant eye, the thin, haggard face, and the broken nervous system betray the victim to opium-smoking; aud all exctited, staring in eye and expression, he was almost a frightful object, as we peered in through the smoke of his half lighted little room, and saw him lying on his mat in the midst of his fatal enjoyment. But as laborers in our manfactories and as servants in our houses, beside their constant contact with our life and industry otherwise, these emigrants from the East cannot fail to get enlargement of ideas, freedom and novelty of action, and familiarty with and theu preference for our higher civilization. Slowly and hardly, but still surely this work must go on and their constant goiug back and forth between here and Chiua must also trans-plaut new elements of thought and actioD into the home circles. Thus it is that we may hope and expect to reach this great peoplo with the influences of our better and higher life.

It is through modification and revolution in materialities, in manner of living, in manner of doing, that we shall pave the way for our thought and our religion. Our missionaries to the Five Points have learned to attack first with soap and water aud dean clothes. The Chinese that come here are unconsciously besieged at first with better food and nioro of it than they have at home. The bath-house and the restaurant are the avant couriers of the Christian civilization. The Chinese that come to these states are among the best of the peasantry' from the country about Canton and Houg Kong.

None of them are the miserable coolies that have becu impor'ed by the English to their Indian colonics as farm laborers. They associate themselves here iuto companies, based upon the village or neigh borhood from which they came at home. These companies have headquarters in San Francisco; their, Presidents are men of high intelligence and character; and their office is to afford a temporary refuge for all who. to their' bodies, to 'assist them; work, to protect "them" against wrong, and to send the dead back to their lrln.lwn.l Linn lteai'rlpfl tliAaa m-naian. tions 'there ur guides or trade associations amontr the Chinese encaged in dificrent occupution.u.ilhus the lauuurymen and cigar-makers have w'itn auu occasional lesuvioy.

i he lrnnresaiona i these people make upon the American mind, after close observation of their habits, are very mixed and They unite to many of the attainments and knowledge of the highest civilization, in some of which they are models for ourselves, many of the incidents and most of the ignorance of a simple barbaiism. It may yet prove that we have as muoh to learn from them as they from us. Certainly here in this great field, this West, em half of our continental nation, their diversified labor is a blessing and a necessity. It is al), perhaps more even, than the Irish and the Africans have been and are to our Eastern wealth and progress. At the first, at least, they have greater adaptability and perfection than either of these classes of laborers to whom we are so intimately and sometimes painfully accustomed.

There are quite a number of heavy mer-r cantile houses here in the hands of Chinese. The managers are intelligent, superior men. Their business is ir. supplies for their couutrymen, and in teas and silks and curiosities for the Americana. They import by the hundreds of thousands, even millions, yearly; and their reputa tion for fair and honest dealing is above that of the American merchants generally.

These are the men, with the Presideuts of the six companies, into which the whole Chinese population is organized, as I have described, with whom Mr. Colfax and his friends dined last night. There were formalities and negotiations enough iu the preliminary arrangements of the entertainment to have sufficed for a pacification of Kentucy politics, or the making of a new map of Europe but when these were finally adjusted, questions of precedence among the Chinese settled, and a proper choice made among the many Americans who were eager to be bidden to the feast-all weut as smooth as a town school ex-amiuation that the teacher has been drilling for a month previous. The party numbered from 50 to 60, half Chinese, half white folks. The dinner was given in the second story of a Chinese restaurant, in a leading street of the city.

Our hosts were finejjooking men with impressive manners, While their race generally not more than two-thirds the size of our American men, these were pearly if not quite as tall and stout as their guests. Their eyes and their faces beamed with intelligence, and they were quick to perceive everything, and alert and aufait in all courtisies and politeness An interpreter was present for the heavy talking but most of our Chinese entertainers spoke a little English, and we got on well enough so far as that was concerned though handshaking and bowing and scraping and a general flexibility of countenance, bodies and limbs bad a very large share of the conversation to perform. Neither here nor in China is it common for the English and Americans to learn the Chinese language. The Chinese can and do more readily acquire ours, sufficiently at least for all business intercourse. Their i broken or "pigeon" English, as it is called, is often very grotesque, and always very simple We were seated for the dinner around little round tables, six to nine at the table, and hosts and guests evenly mixed.

There was a profusion of elegant China dishes on each table each guest had two or three plates and saucers, all delicate and small. Choice sauces, pickles, sweetmeats and nuts were plentifully scattered about. Each guesth ad a saucer of flowe'rs, a Chiua spoon or bowl with a handle; and a pair of chop sticks, little round and smooth ivory sticks about six inches long. CLi Sing-Tong. President of the San tfup company, presided at Mr.

Colfax'a table. Now the meal began. rIt consisted of three different courses, or dinnern ratter, between which was a recess of half an hour, when wo Wired to an; ante-rodtn, smoked'and talked, and listened to ihe simple, rough, barbaric music irom coarse euitar, viol arum, ana vioun, uu mesa- while wcwraetftna tew Wod Each oojirmyo'r nnr: (wmpriseo ft aoi. e'n' to 'jVwity different dTsb'eV served 1 ucic, eveu UUW.

They do t.ot ask or wish for citizenship; but they are even denied protection in persons and a month, or nearly $50 a year, each, for the beniuc of the county and state treasu ries. Thus ostracised and burdened by the state, they, of course, have been the victims ef muoh meanness and cruelty from individuals. To abuse and cheat a Chinaman to rob hira to kick and cuff him even to kill him, have been things not only done with impunity by mean and wicked men, but even with vain glory. Terrible are some of the cases of robbery aud wanton maining and murder reported from the mining districts. Had "John" here and in China alike the English and American nickname every Chinaman "John" a good claim, origi nal or improved, he was ordered to "move on" it belonged to somebody else.

Had he hoarded a pile, he was ordered to disgorge and, if he resisted, he was killed. Worse crimes even are known against them they have been wantonly assaulted and shot down or stabbed by bad men, as sportsmen would surprise aud shoot their game in the woods. There was no risk in such barbarity if "John" survived to tell the tale, the law would not hear him or believe him. Nobody was so low, so miserable that he did not despise the Chinaman and could not out rago him. Eoss Browne has au illustration of tho status of poor "John" that is quite to the point.

A vagabond Indian comes upon a solitary Chinaman, working over tie sands of a deserted gulch lor gold. "Dish is my laud," says he "you pay me fifty dollar." The poor celestial turns, depreciatingly, saying: "Melican man (American) been here and took all no bit left." Indian irate and fierce Melican man, you pay mo fifty dollar, or 1 killee you." Through a growing elevation of public opinion and a reactionary experieuce that calls for study of the future, the Califor- nians are beginning to have a better appreciation of their Chinese emigrants The demand for them is increasing. The new State, to be built upon manufactures and agriculture, seen to Deed their cheap and reliable labor and more pains will be taken to attract them to the country. But even now, a man who aspires to be a political leader, till lately a possible United States Senator, and the most wide ly circulated daily paper of this city. pronounce against the Chinese, and would drive them home.

Their opposition is based upon the prejudices and jealousy of ignorant white laborers the Irish particularly who regard the Chinese as rivals in their field, and clothes itself in that cheap talk, so common among the bogus democracy ot the East, about this being a "white man country, and no place for Africans or Asiatics. But our national democratic principle, of welcoming hither the people of every country and clime, aside, the white man needs the negro and the Chinaman more than they hira the pocket appeal will override the prejudices of his soul, nod we shall do a sort of rough justico to both classes, because it will pay. The political questions involved in the negro's presence, and pressing so earnestly for solution, do not yet arise with regard to the Chinese perhaps will never be presented. As I have Baid, the Chinese aro ambitious of no political rights, no citizenship it is only as our merchants go to China tint they come here. Their care, indeed, is to be buried at home they stipulate with anxiety for that and the great bulk of all who die on these shores aro carried back for final interment.

Everywhere, in village and town, you see rude signs, informing you that See Hop or Ah Thing or Sam Sing or VVee Lung or Cum Siug wash and iron. How Tie is a doctor, and Hop Chang and Chi Lung keep stores. They are good house servants; cooks, table-waiters, and nurses better, on the whole, than the Irish girls, and as cheap $15 to $25 a month and board.

One element of their useful ness as cooks is their genius for imitation; show them once how to do a thing, and their education is perfected no repetition of the lesson is needed. But they seem to be more in use as house servants in the country than the city they do not share the passion of the Irish girls for herding together, and seem to be content to be alone in a house, iu a neighborhood or, a town. Mny are vegetable gardeners, too. In this even climate and with this productive soil, their paius-tukiug culture, much hoeing and constant watering, makes little ground fruitful, and they gather in three, four and five crops a year. Their garden patches, in the neighborhood of cities and villages, are always distinguishable from the rougher and more care-less cultured grounds of their Saxon rivals.

The Pacific railroad is being built by Chinese labor; several thousand Chinamen arc now rapidly grading the track through the rocks and sands of the Sierra Nevadas without them, indeed, this great work would have to wait for years, or move on with slow, hesitating steps. They can, by their steady industry, do nearly as much in a day, even in this rough labor, as the average of white men, and they cost only about half as much, say $30 a month against $50. Besides, white labor is uot to be had iu the quantities necessary for such a great job as this. Good farm hands are the Chinese, also; and in the simpler and routine mechanic arts tbey have proven adepts there is hardly any branch of labor in which, ur.der proper tuition, they do not or cannot succeed most admirably. The great success of tho woolen manufacture here is due to the admirable adaptation and comparative cheapness of Chinese labor for the details.

They are quick to learn, quiet, cleanly and faithful, and have no "off days," uo sprees to get over. As factory operatives they receive $20 and $25 a mouth, and board themselves, though quarters are provided for them on the mill grounds. Fish, vegetables, rice and pork are the main food, which is prepared and eaten with such economy that they live for about one third what Yankee laborers can. Thousands of the Chinese are gleaners in the gold fields. They follow in crowds after the white miners, working and washing over their deserted or neglected sands, and thriving on results that their predecessors would despise.

A Chinese gold washer is content with $1 to $2 a day; whilo the white man starves or moves on disguited with twice that. A very considerable portion of the present gold production of California must now be the work of Chinese painstaking aud moderate ambition.
