From th. San Francisco Daily Flag A PAGAN4TEMPLE IN a CEILISTIAN. CITY. It is curious to reflect that, while many denominations of Christians are making strenuous efforts to propagate the princi ples of our religion among the people of China, they erect their temples and fill them with idols in the very shadow of Christian churches here. There was one recently completed on an alley lead ing south from Dupont street, near Broad way, and the devotees of the reigning deity ar having a very "se:ious awaken ing." The Chinese people are not very particular as to what peculiar god they worship, and many of their divinities, when they fail.to respond to the desires of their worshippers, lose their reputa tion and arc cast aside. Among those here, the chief deity is called Josh or Joss, and, so far, main tains a fair reputation. The new temple is three stories high, and Josh sits in the upper story. The front of the temple, above the upper story, is open, and fin ished in the form of a lofty arch. In the front of the ground apartments is an open court where the dignitaries burn fire crackers and various other pyro-tach aim/ articles for the purpose of pleasing Josh, or to frighten away intrusive dev ils. On the second floor is a room—a sort of reception room. Upon a table in the centre stand; a beautiful little case of liquor bottles and glasses, so recently prbfaned by the sacrilegious conduct of certain members •of the city press.— Against the-arall at the rear of the apart ment is fastened au indifferent picture, representing in full size and modern Chinese costal°, an ancient individual, who, as a sacred worthy said, lived to be over five hundred years old, became the father of one hundred sons, and rejoiced in the remoter multiplication of himself into one thousand grandsons, all, we are IMtiad to conclude, resembling their vets ble ancestor, so far, at least, as facial angles, nasal protuberances and oblique orbital arches are concerned- Ile is fur- stance IS rather serious. lie seems to be satisfied with the offerings of liquor and the perfume of a few consecrated incense tapers burning before hint. Visitors are seated at his left, according to the Chi aesehka- , of the place of honor, which is the reverse of ours, for the sheep are on the right, while the goats stand on the left, in the Christian theology. At about two o'clock P. M. an express wagon was hauled up before the dour, laden-with three or four hogs and sheep, and a large quantity of chickens, etc., most of them cooked whole. Upon the ariival - of these offerings there was a tremendous _rattle and clatter of drums and cymbals; a shrieking of reed pipes and explosion of squilgees, as if a great "band Of the gorilla species had got out their whinyards and started -on the ter rible 's-ar-path after buzzards. The priests, clad in long robes of blue silk, fastened at the waist by girdles, filed out of the temple and sat down on stools in the street, while celestial mudsills and the awe-struck Irish wagoner carried the offerings in. At the left of Josh's image arc placed a large hell and a drum, and it seems to be Chinese orthodoxy to be lieve that the spirit of the divinity is in paradise except when summoned to in habit the ruddy, red-fitted, rotund pot clay image of a tuOtty Chinaman, by taps upon the drum and a quick, fire alarm tinging of the great bell. When the attendants, yesterday, brought the roast pig, etc., into the court before the image, and the worshippers came sur rounded by fourteen or fifteen priests, it was a signal for Josh to be summoned. 'The drum was struck, the bell tolled, the fat znnsiciaus blew their six-note reed pipes till their cheeks seemed ready to burst, and the crackers below rattled like - mask etry. It might he expected that tke image, swhe.n inhabited by the divine essence, -would get up and move around, but it sat still. The chickens were cooked and ar ranged in fantastic shapes, some of them painted, furnished with heads like men, with cotton hair and bouquets of artifi ,cial flowers in their hands. Around the 'tail of the roast pig was wrapped a sheet .or red paper. The sheep was not roast ed, hut lay en a large pan like the hog, withits head supported by woode n props. T i r offering being ready, Josh in the or the devoted stood before the ilia ilia:, with a priest at each hand and a r mi y ar them surrounding him. The tiuld ,struck up a kind of bagpipe air, a ritiesit,:it the left of the altar squeaked .eut some thing,and the pagan bowed three times; walked around the altar, bowed, knelt and passed incense rods and scrolls of paper from right to left of Josh, re peating all these acts several times till they reached the altar at the feet of the image. - There lie bowed a number of times, and as Josh would probably find sonic difficulty in masticating a whole hog at once, an attendant took a cleaver, sliced off a piece of its chops, severed the;highly ornamented and slightly-curled tail of die porker, and passed them up. Spiritually, the whole hog went; liter ally, only a chop and the tail; but the rites of the worship were completed so tin• as that offering was concerned. Josh still smiled complacently ; the worship. per took a scroll insetibed with some sen timent, came to the front of the temple, and still surrounded by the priests, threw it into the stove, where it was burned and thereby transmitted to actual possession of the gods. During all this time the infernal noise continued; the room was la of smoke, and the priest kept bow ing till the paper was consumed, and the ceremony ended. Josh will get no more of the meat offerings than lie got yester day, but mundane Julius will cat them all To describe the carved work of the altar would take GPO 1110011 time and space. It is executed in solid wood, and the representations are almost endless in va riety. Birds and plants, butterflies and lettered rolls, with a disagreeable associa tion of dragons. Iu two or three places arc carved representations of some of the early European missionaries, surrounded by celestial sages, knock-kneed and as tounded at their doctrine. The hat, short pants, long coat and walking-stick are: well imitated in these figures. But the expression of confusion which is given to each,.shows a ludicrous appre ciation of barbarian outsiders and their theories. Upon each side of -the image are rang ed wands, maces, spears and battle-axes, while Josh himself reposes amid a pro fusion of gaudy tinsel trappings and scar let silk droppings. Upon each altar were large, colored wax tapers burning, and. some of them supported on the backs of dragons; others on diminutive French lap-dogs of brass. The walls of each apartment are hung with signs bearing inscriptions from the sacred books of their philosophers and "Good words for Joshee." The institu tion is a curiosity, and a fixed ilia in San Francisco.

Some men with ten thousand dollars a year suffer more for want of means than others with three hundred. The reason is, the richer man has artificial wants. Ili, income is ten thousand, and he suffers en ugh from be ing dunned for unpaid debts to kill a sen sitive man. A man who earns a dollar a day, and does not run in debt, is the happiest of the two. Very few people who have never been rich will believe this, but. it is as true as God's word.— There are thousands and thousands with princely incomes who never know a mo ment's peace because they live above their means. There is really more hap piness iu the world among working peo ple than among those who are called rich. Yousu MEN, PAY ATTENTION.— Don't be a loafer, don't call yourself a loafer. don't keep loafer's company, I lon% ha ng about loafing places. Better work hard for nothing and heard your self, than to sit around day after day, or stand around errners with your hands in your pockets. Better for your own mind, better fur your own re-peet. Brut tie about if you mean to have anything to bustle about for. Many a poor phy sician has obtained a real patient by rid ing hard to attend an imaginary one. A. quire of paper, tiled with red tape, car ried under a Sawyer's arm, may procure him his first case and make his fortune. Such is the world; to him that hath shall be given. Quit droning and com plaining; keep busy and mind your char et,s PECULIARITIES OF AUTuons.—The French historian, Mezerai, wrote only by candleligilt, even in the day-time and in the middle.of summer. He never failed to conduct his visitors to the door with a candle in his band; and whenever he wrote, a bottle of wine was placed on the table. Yarnlas,' contemporary of Meze rai, wrote only at day-light. The French advocate, Cujas, always wrote and studied whilst stretched out on a carpet with his books around him. Magliabeechi, a learned Italian of the seventeenth cen tury, passed all his life in the midst of books. Ills meals were most frugal, and a few eggs, with a little bread and water, his ordinary food. His usual bed was the chair he sat on, and surrounded by his books, his thoughts were wholly ab sorbed in study. The only beings he appeared to take an interest in were his spiders ; and he would often cry out to his visitors, whose curiosity appeared to him imprudent, to take care and not in jure his spiders.
