THE HOUR-GLASS,
SparkllE?, dinciDg downward*,
Merrily drop the sands.
While the golden hours so gaily pass.
Amid roes, and lily, and soft green grass;
Wherefore so esger to tarn the glass,
Oh dimpled bsby-hande ?
Guttering, fleshing downwards,
In the glow of the April snn.
Ah, aweet white Angers, and sky-bine eyes,
And cheeks at rosy as western skies;
Tis pity Youth’s first Paradise,
That the sand, so swiftly ran !
Stealing forever downwards.
Grey tinging their virgin gold.
Pnlset still oniver, and hearts still beat,
Bnt the road grows hard for the tired feet
Surely the sky hsd more warmth and lifat,
And the sands showed brighter of old!
Dropping drearily downwards,
The evening is well-nigh o’er.
The brightest and best the river bavo crossed,
The bolt is shot, and tbe venture lost;
The barque on the last long wave is tossed,
The glsss needs to turn no more.

Chinese Immigration.—The
total of arrivals of Mongolians at this
port since the year 1862 3 is 113,074, of
which number*108,902 were males and
4,172 females. In the years 1863 4 and
1866-7 no Chinese females came to this
coast, and only one such arrival is re
corded for theyear 1865-6. The greatest
number of Chinese arriving in any one
year since 1862-3 was 19,368 in 1872-3.

Tramp ! Tramp !! Tramp !!!
He was travel-stained and weary, and
his eyes had a far-off, wistful look, as
though he knew that rest was not for
him below, let his tired heart crave it
ever so much. And he humbly asked
the lady of the house for a morsel of
food. His venerable appearance and evi
dent want aroused all her womanly gen
erosity, and she presently set the poor
tramp down to the remains of the fam
ily dinner.
“ Poor old man,” she murmured sym
pathetically, as she saw him lean back
in his chair, leaving his food untouched
on his plate, “he is too weary to eat,”
and she asked him if he felt ilL
“ Not exactly, mam,” was the answer
in a humble voice, “ bnt mos’ people
cooks their roast beef till it’s overdone,
an’ overdone beef don’t gen’lly agree
with me.
“ Y’ hav’nt got any Wooster sauce,
have ye?” continued the mendicant;
“ I mos’ gen’lly nse it when beef ain’t
cooked to suit me.”
Unfortunately, the house of McCor
mick was out of “ Wooster sauc9,” but
Mrs. McC. brought the mustard and a
plate of nice pickles, observing, with
the faintest trace of sarcasm in her
tones, that if she’d known that he was
coming she’d have looked out for some
thing tetter.
“ Oh, I ain’t very pertiek’Ier, mum,”
said the old man, as he helped himself
to another spoonful of gravy and a en
cumber pickle, only I jes’ happened to
mention it, ’oos where there ain’t no pie
nor nothin’ sweet fer desert, overdone
roast beef’s more like to disagree with
me,” and the meekness in the vagrant’s
wrinkled face was teaching in the ex
treme, as he looked humbly around the
table, as thongh his former glance
might have overlooked the luxuries of
which he spoke.
But Mrs. McC. was rather too far •
gone with speechless indignation to
frame a suitable answer, and eo the
weary old man, with a mournful sigli,
went on eating, and developed a most
singular and wonderful appetite, which
was gradually appeased as the four-pound
piece of beef was reduced to a mere
shapeless fragment, and the last boiled
potato had vanished from the dish.
“I hope you’ve made a dinner,”
ejaculated Mrs. McC., in a fine irony.
“ Wall, yes’m ; I’ve eat wnss wittals,”
said the old mendicant, with deep hu
mility. as he pushed his chair back from
the table, and appeared to seek some
thing on the floor.
“ What »is you’re a-lookin’ for ?” de
manded Mrs. McC , with a snap in her
voice that reminded one of the slam
ming down of the lid of a cheat.
Nothin’, mum—that is nothing par-
tick’ler; I didn’t see no napkin, an’
thought I might a’ dropped it-—”
But he never finished his speech, and
five seoonds later his white looks van
ished through the doorway with amaz
ing celerity, and an infuriated female
with a mop followed so closely behind
that he got fully a half mile from the
house before pursuit ceased and he was
able to light his cigar. —Bouton Bulletin.
