Another thing which struck me was what seemed a thorough mental honesty; and by this I mean that she took the widest survey of the field of which she was capable, and formed her judgments after full collation of the facts. Like the ideal scientist seeking light from every quarter, and open to its reception, come from where it might, she was ready to follow the truth wherever it might lead. She submitted her judgment to her intelligence, and was not afraid to obey her convictions. She loved the slave when it was not popular to do so. She was on the side of the weak when only a few stood with her. She counted the cost and took the stand for righteousness and truth. She saw in them clearly the humanity now represented on the throne, and for _that_ would have gone down among them with perfect serenity and cheerfulness, bidding every offended sense and feeling _be still_. She had schooled herself to do right. She had said to her soul, “I will do for the poor as I would do for my Lord.” * * * * * CHILDREN’S PAGE. * * * * * CHUNG WAH. BY SUSIE W. HASSELL. He is a bright little ten-year-old who lives in a town away off West. You know by his name that he is Chinese, and I am afraid some of you have already turned up your noses in disgust, and have thought, “Bah! those dirty Chinamen! My mamma says it makes her sick to think of them, and papa’s glad they can’t come to our country any more.” But let me tell you about Chung Wah, and then you can decide the Chinese question for yourselves. He is in the A class in Number Two, and in the schoolroom his yellow face is almost always bright with soap-suds and joy, for he is a wonderfully happy boy, and smiles all the time he is happy. His little black eyes look like apple-seeds, and snap whenever he winks. He wears great flapping brown pantaloons, which are covered to the knee by his pink calico aprons, but on Wednesday, when he speaks his piece, he has on a white apron, so stiffly starched that it rustles and cracks like paper. His low cloth shoes have no heels, but long, pointed, turned-up toes. Chung Wah is very quick at his lessons, and neat in his slate-work, so that when visitors come in his slate is one of the first the teacher shows them.
