HV Itlft HTUONO WII.T.. TIIK RISE OF A TOUNO MAN t'NDKIt AIIVK1IHK ClllUU.MSTANCRS. Tho following article wns written by Wil liam Burgess, a former resident of this com ty, for tho National City Jlceonl, Of California t Incidents sometimes occur In the lino of our experience wlileh nro wnilhy of note, and frequently thu review of simple facts lends fresh courago to us In meeting tho practical duties of llfo. Iu Illustration of tho power of tact, application nnd perse verance, I will stato n s Inglo case, not as the only ono In store, but as appropriate for my present purpose. Over thirty years ago when In charge of a Seminary in Pennsylvania, 1 had an np. plication for a pupil, then perhaps 10 years of ago nr more, who desired tho advan tages of a school moro ndvpneed than tho district schools of tho vicinity which woro open pcrhnp six months of the year thrco months In tho summer and thrco months In tho winter. His parents wen. well-to-do larmcrs, a few miles up the valley, Indus, trlnm, thrifty, nnd very respectable, but adhered so rigidly to antiquated customs that they could not tako much.stock in nn expensive education, at least beyond what was then aftorded by these public schools, for many then as now would fain cut down tho school term that moro labor could bo exacted from the children In tho work-shop or on tho farm. The Seminary, a boarding nnd day school combined, for both sexes, was well pationlzcd, however, from the neighborhood and from dUtant localities and our young friend, whom all called "Llje" for short, was an ambitious young man, and ho caught tho Inward desire for mental Improvement nnd a bettor educa tion. Ho obtained permission to leave homo for n timo In pursuit of some scheme, If he could manage the card without Incur ring parcntnl expense. He saw an opening and applied for the position of choio boy, hoplug by faithful scrrlco tn work for boird and tuition, and thus secure tho ad vantages of tho school. The offer was accepted, nnd "Llje" took hold of every department with n vim. Tho stable, tho wood yards, the fires for the family and tho Fchnols, besides general janitor duties, occupied his spare time, but he was nlwnys at his post of duty,always up with his class in school nnd never behind his comrades at games or sport when leisure permitted. That year's servlco probably laid the foun dation for a life purpose. Ho was an apt student in every grade, and gradually ad vanced In his course of reading and study, taking a special Interest In history, biogra phy and n knowledge of the world in gen eral. The time at school was too brief to advance very far in speclnl or scientific brniches of literature, but ho acquired the determined purposo to educate himself af ter gaining au Insight into tho modus ope randi. He might not become n3 proficient oratory us Clay, Calhoun, Webster or hilllps, or as noted iu scieuco as Newton, La Place, Huxley or Agasnlz ; but with such great lights before him he could bend his energies to the task and do something for hlniselr, no matter whether the rc9t of the world around him should stand still or move onward. To do tills he must husband his resources and improve his leisure hours, no matter what might be his vocation for a time. On leaving school ho took a position lu n large flouring mill near by to learn the nrt, nil tho time keeping within the reach nnd influence of the Seminary, nnd wai an nc tlve participant In tho Literary Society there, open to the public, and took proml nenco In debites. About the lime he bo came of age, he was enabled, with the assistance of sorao relatives or friends to buy an interest in tho mill, and In that na other pursuits, being Impressed with c foiclblu adage that "whatever is worm doing nl ull is worth doing well," he be came a skillful miller and drew patronage from far nnd uear. To go back lo the school n moment, Micro was a certain young lady in tho Normul Department who was preparing for the teacher's vocation, and between theso par ties un Intimacy grew npice. The myste rious workings of those sympathetic cords of attraction, even If observed by others, as it were by the twltclilngs of an electric battery, are not nlwnys understood nor very readily explained, but when once charged, the current continues unless ob structed by some Inharmonious clement. Tho said young lady, however, Was also ambitious Culture seemed to bo one of her elements of character, nnd she passed an excellent examination. Shu was soon a ist-class teacher, and after ward taught In tho country for u number of consecutive terms. As kindred elements, however, will gradually mingle unless separated by mountain barriers, her bewitching smiles wero too resistless for the attractive radi ance ot the young miller's affections, and soon by that Indescribable union of hands and sympathy of hearts they were united ly hymeneal bauds and swept into the vortex of mitrimony. Those who havo not trayeled so far may not understand, but they may live and learu. It was a suitably mated, nnd to ull appearances a happy pair, well adapted to each other's wants and necessities, nnd In scholarly gruco nnd refinement, the young man as a ready stu dent, received many usclul lessons In tlulr fforts of study and mutual self-Improve ment. Iu force nnd brilliance he, perhaps, took the lead, but In Intellectual culture, up to this time the medal was hers, but they sought to equalize their burdens, uud n Intellectual growth and power their progress was steady und harmonious. Tho young miller being fully aroused and self-confident, now commenced tho study of law. He leased his Interest the mill, became a disciple of Uluckstonc und foon uflor figured conspicuously as an1 attorney of much promise at the bar. Bo. log temperate in his hubits.cool and shrewd in Ids purchases und speculations and dili gent In professional application, ho soon acquired a competence, and became noted both as a counselor and a pleader at the bar, That youug man had stamina, pluck ami perseverance. He permitted no sell- ous blunders, or Haws of confidence or con duct, to Injure his character, and if mostly successful In his undertakings, It was be cause he planned ahead, nnd so ndupted means to ends that ho accomplished greater results than many who wero not bo cool though moro confident. Ho thus became not only a practical nnd successful business man, but also a useful citizen, taking part In the progressive movements of his town and county, and lu those public and private enterprises calculated to build up a comma nlty upon an Independent, growing, yet self-supporting basis of prosperity. I often think of that youth and some others might name, us blight examples for the en couragement of tho young nnd persoverlng In the line of We'd promotions. Our fnml. lies havo held Hie most friendly reciprocal relations for years, nnd a recent letter from our old friend, bearing date Juno 17, 1880, reviews some past affairs, as it were with pleasant recollections, and I take I ho lib erty lo make a brief extract. After refer ring to a recent promotion, ho says , 1 1 am still encouraged nnd held to labor on with renewed energy, greater skin and graver responsibilities, and my chief dcslro is for stronglh, fortitude, judgment and knowlcdgo sufllclcnt to perform my dutica and well. And whllo I feel and know that my Held cf labor is unite different from what it has been lu tho past, yet I hopo I shall never hcsilato to point with prtdo to my norvlco In your employ n rdablo boy, wood choicer, and flro builder, nt tho "Greenwood Seminary," und to grntetully acknowledge the full and fabulous remu neration I received nt your hands In tho careful, sound nnd efllclcnt Instruction I got at Mint school," That person, my friends, Is now tho Hon. Elijah It. Ixclcr, President Judge ot tho 20th Judicial District of Pennsylvania, com posed of the counties of Montour and Columbia, on tho North Branch of tho Bus quchanna. This, howover, Is not so much for a per sonul commendation, ns it Is for a word of advice to young mon of mind and strength of will, to mnko thu best uso of their oppor tunities, that their lives may In consequence bo moru satisfactory to themselves, more beneficial to others, nnd useful to the world nt large. Respectfully submitted, W.M. DUKCIKSS. i,i;tti;iih i'hom int. and aniH. Tho following Interesting letters from Dr. James B. Ncal nnd wife, who aro In China, wero received by friends hero recently i Piiizkko, 215 Miles N. W. ofCiiefoo, Tuesday Morning, March 13, 1880. As 1 have n quiet hour this morning, 1 want to resume my regular weekly home loiters, by telling you of my trip out here, 1 having arrived at my Journey's end only yestcrduy afternoon, As you doubtless know, I left Chcfoo two weeks ago yesterday morning, In company with n Mr. Btooke, u recently nrrlvcd mem ber ot the China Inland Mission, In order to tiring out 13,000 taels of silver for uso In famine relief. Wo cncli had n cart, with about half tho silver In each aud kept close together nil tho time, being accompanied by four soldiers armed with muskets nnd under the command of a small ofllccr. We' usually started as soon nftcr daylight as possible, and avoided traveling late Inlo the night ns a precaution for safety. I nl. ways kept tho silver in the room with mo nt nieht and slept wllh a loaded revolver nt my head, tho soldiers not being fur away. It was very interesting to Lil'ie and me to notice tho system of changing horses which prevails here In going from Chcfoo to Wei Hleu, by the great road, you pass through parts of tlx counties or Hleu, nud each of these Illcn had to furnish a change of horses to our escort. In speaking of tho Hlen heretofore I have usually referred to them as corresponding to our townships, but tho moro I think of It tho moro I feel they should moro properly bo called coun tlc, for tho principal town in each Hlen Is a large walled city corresponding In somo degree to our county scat, being tho rcsl dcn"o of the principal magistrate of the whole district, which is much larger In area than our small townships, nnd much moro important. Tho village, perhaps, might bo eaidti correspond to our township as it lias no organization of Its own. We really have nothing to correspond to a "fu" or prefecture, unless n congressional district might bo said to do so. Well, to return to the horses, each timo we camo to a Hlen the olllocr lu chargo of our escort hud to send to thu yamen and await a change of horses, nnd lu case wc were to spend a night inside tho walls, a special guard was sent to watch over our safely. Sometimes, too, tho magistrate sent a couple of runners to awcll our escort up lo tho next atagc, though not always, some times sending only u hostler to take back the horses. This arrangement wns not a special one for this occasion only, but is constantly In force for the transmission of messages between the various yamena. Once on tho great road wo did not pass near the Hlen city but only across ono cor nor of tho county, but we found a horse stable established on the road and changed horses ns U9unl, no ono officer sending his horses ucross tho territory of another. When wo left tho great western road ut Wei Hlen und slructoff toward this famine region, wo ulwnys had to go to a Hlen city to chango horses, even though It took us out of our way as it did onco or twice. Wc had a very comfortable journey out, lludlng It pretty cold tor a couple of days but after that quite bearable. Wo reached Wcl Hicn Saturday eveniug, expecting to spend Sun day, but on receipt ot letters from Air. Laughlin, urging the speedy sending of money for tho starving people, Mr. Stooke and I got out our carts again and traveled 10 miles on Sunday afternoon, leaving Llllle to follow In company with Mr. Frnul; Glial funt on Wednesday. After n tedious trip of three days wo reached this station on Wednesday afternoon and delivered half our silver to Mr. Laughlin for the uso of the Presbyterian distributors, and also 1S00 tnels for uso of the English Biptists ho adjoin us on tho west. The next morning we divided our escort, Mr. Laughlin nnd Mr. Siooke taking two soldiers with them to carry a lot of silver to a city somo twenty miles uway, und I having two soldiers and the officer to go with me to Cnlngchowfoo, two days' journey distant, Thursday morn ing I started oil In a slnglo cart and reach ed Chlngchowfoo Friday evening about dark without mishap, whero I delivered the remaining 5,000 taels to tho English Bap 'Ut Mission, Here I dismissed my escor t, and after a night spent nt Mr. Forsyth's started back at daylight Saturday morning , hoping to be able to reach here, whero I hud agreed to meet Llllle, some tlmu dur ing Saturday night. But alas for my pleas lire, I got up in the morning lo llnd it drlz '.Hug und miserably raw aud cold. How ever I started, hoping wo might be able to pull through the 140 II before midnight Outside the city walls wo found the wind blowing a gulu from thu northeast which made it very disagreeable traveling. After struggling along until 3 o'clock It began t snow, uud tho wind increased to almost a hurricane bo that 1 thought It too bud to ask the carter, who had to sit outside, to drive, uny further, so ordered him to turn into thu first Inn he camo to ; unfoitunatily that proved to Uo a Utllo bit of a country placf , wllh great cracks in the doors of the room I occupied, nnd in general most cheeileas aud desolutu. Never were my Babbath Jtecpuig principles put to so haul a test ns when 1 turned into that wretched place, 00 11 from where Lllllo was to spend Sunday It was uo cold I stayed in bed Sunday morning until nearly 11 o'clock to keep warm and also to get rested, 119 I had been up long before daylight every morn lug except Suuday for two weeks. Hi fore I got through my breakfast and devotion, visitors began to come in and I had a chanco to do a littlo talking in n religious way. This, with a walk und my eating nnd reading, managed to use up the day which was a very raw cold ono and by half past seven I was again In bed. Monday morning I got up to find It fpit ting snow nnd thu further wo went tho worse it became until It proved one of the hardest storms of the scusoa, My carter, however, persevered aud by halt past two in thu afternoon landed here to llnd Lllllo all alone, Air. and Airs Laughlin being away at 11 stailoti 2.1 11 distant. They ill nut get hick until Tuosday morning so wo had a nice quiet timo together and 1 had a chance tn take a much needed bah, To day, Wrduesnay, Lllllo und I got to u place called Shungkla Tnnko, 35 11 from here, I to assist Dr, Hunter In Ids relic! work and Lllllo to work among the womeu Mr. Laughll'i has now ou Ids list about 100 villages including about 20,000 peoplo who are receiving ono cent each por day, Not all tho persons in a villain aro enrolled, but only those needing help very badly. Dr. Hunter is enrolling 10,000, making 30,000 In nil fur thu Presbyterians, while the Bap tists are working up to the sahlu number so ns to mako 00,090 In nil. If tho contrlbu lions warrant It, this total number Is to bo further Increased to 100,000. Wo nro great ly lu hopes orders to cnlnrgo may como soon for tho dlsttcsi Is very grcnt nnd many aro unrelieved. As I h ive been hern so short n timo I can give few details of the stato of affairs, but I shall write moro fully hereafter. Dr. Hunter expects to go back to Wcl Hlen In n counlc of weeks nud I presume wc ehnll then take chnrg' of his work. Wo found when wo got hero that tho station which we had been expected to open, lind already been begun by Dr. Hunter, so It wns unnecessary for us to begin another. Wo are looking for Dr. nnd Airs. Alattcer next week or the week alter nnd If they como wo shall have a meeting altogether and decide then upon the ultimate distribu tion of wotk. James il. Nkal. I'rntu MrM. Ncnl.

FllIBKDl I wish I could picture to you some of tho scenes I Sec from day to day lu my village visiting nn1' yet they would only harrow your feelings. Old men and old women worn away to shadows of their former selves or, In the last stages of starvation, swollen so much as to be almost past recognition : llltlo children In arms almost Invariably very, very thin and wnn I. okingj half grown 'children, wenk and colorless and so worn looking ns to tell their tale of utter misery without a word, aud faces generally on men and women that need months of privation and hnrd ship to bring to them the famished look they have. A passing look at the faces of a family almost always gives a pretty cor rect idea of tho depth of their poverty. Then they tell you how this ones' baby, that ones' father or mother, this man's wlfo and daughter, that woman's only son or lur two or three little children have starved to death ; how so and so sold his Utile girl or boy to mako sure of their having some thing to eat, nnd so that tho money might provide for his other children for n month to come j how another mau'a wlfo hung herself to get away from the sight of her hungry, famishing babies, (one door keep er's wlfo nto arsenic because sho couldn't bear to sec her children suffer so,) how still another man has taken all he has left of his tamlly and lied in the hope of being able to reach a land where ho can get work or plant his grain where there la less fear of It3 lulnf m'.acd before harvcat time, and th -j will show you the deserted house with Its locked door and a9k you to peer into tho window and sec the colUIn there with the unburicd starved mother or father In it, and on your way you aco a man pulling lowu his hou9o, nnd nsk him why he is doing It, he'll tell you to sell the timber so as to buy something for tho little ones to eat always tho samo reason, for some thing to appease this eyer recurring, knaw Ing, hunger, or ns they express It, "to paste these Hps shut." Of all, tho littlo babies look tho very worst : it would wring your mother heart to seo tho littlo skeleton like Indica and hear tho weak hungry cry and to watch them ns they try to swallow tho n ess of clulT, roots,bark of trees and grass mixed together and mado into a cake, (which is what tho peoplo arc mostly living on now,) that their mother's chow up and put Into their gaping littlo mouths. Tho Doctor is still hard at work enrolling thu sufferers and you would bo pleased If you could see tho energy, nromptltudo aud llio systematic way in which ho la carrying on this good work, not sparing himself any weariness or hardship in furthering his work of relief. To-day ho was off before nlno o'clock and will not be back before to-morrow evening. Note Tho Chlneso authorities through tho example of the mlssionatlcs were at last led to glvo so liberally themselves to famine relief, that the missionaries found they could give up the work of famlno relief to them and Dr. and Sirs.
