You make thousands a day, perhaps-l make

temporal distinctions exist not; temporal hon
ors are regarded not, where pride and all the
circumstances which surround this life never

time appeared, indeed, as an atom in the SUM-
beam, compared with those which are made
in that changeless state to which they both
had passed.

Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1845-11-14
THE CHINESE,

We find in the Newburyport Herald a
sketch of Mr.. Cushing's Lecture, before
the Lyceum of that place.
Mr.. G.. has a much better opinion of the
intelligence and capacity of the Chinese
than those who have had no opportunity of
intercourse with that people have been wont
to entertain. A large class of the people
are learned; as a nation they are industrious
and ingenious beyond others, the whole
country is like a beehive. Learning has the
first place in public estimation, and books
are as numerous as in Europe. A catalogue
which Mr.. G. had in his possession OF a sin
gle library, occupies ten volumes. Public
measures are debated by the populace as
much as in the United States, and public
opinion has as much influence in China on
the government as with us. The fatal error
of the Chinese has been in giving too epicu-
rean a character to their habits and their gov
eminent. One illustration of this cited was
the fact that at the close of all letters to one
another, the written ~salution is, 81 wish you
tranquility and promotion" They lack only
military skill and discipline to make them a
powerful nation, capable of rcpelling inva-
sion or overrunning contiguous countries;
for no men are drawer or die more fearlessly
in the ranks.
China does not need any foreign trade
Within her W territory she produces every
thing requisite for the wants of her popula-
ton.
Newspapers as well as books abound and
circulate freely among the Chinese, and
the Pekin Gazette, particularly, penetrates
to every part of the Empire. They annnu-
ally publish a Red Book, similar to our
Blue Book, giving the names and emolu-
ments of all public officers.
In regard to the population of China, Mr..
Gushing seems 10 be of opinion that the
Chinese census does not overrate the num-
Der, and that the three hundred and fifty mil
lions which they claim, is not Tar from the
true number. In the Southern part of the
country two crops a year are produced, and
the poorer C asses subsist on a little rice, and
the flesh of dogs, cats, rats, &c. 10 the
cities and towns there are nc carTlage-ways,
the streets are only narrow foot paths, md
no horse or other beasts of burthen are kept
to require large ranges of pasturage. The
population is crowded into the narrowest
limits, by a long succession of ages OF peace
and industry. The compensation asked by
the servants which Mr.. &. in his character
of American Ambassador, employed, WAS
only five dollars a month, and out of this
thew found their own food and clothing.
The Chinese have long been acquainted
with the improvements in the arts, upon
which the Europeans pride themselves as
the inventors, with the exception only of the
steam engine. Machinery has not been in
troduced among them.
The wrong impressions which have OBJ
tanned in regard to the Chinese character,
have been caused by the always difficult and
erroneous TRANSACTIONS from a primitive Ian
guage, which frequently make what in the

A letter from Alfred Wells, of Oswego
county, New York; to the President of the
New England Non-Resistant Society, con-
tains the following interesting Incident
81 write chiefly to give you an account of
the power of love that took place in the FAM
lily of an old friend OF mine who is now no
more. Besides other children, he left two
sons, Henry, aged about twenty, and Albert,
about sixteen. The latter possessed what is
called a bad, ungovernable temper, that gave
his mother much trouble, and she, (probably
in a pet,) told Henry that he must whip him..
He did; but Albert resisted, and he received
a severe thrashing; but it did not tame him
at all, and he vowed that he would never
speak to Henry again until he was old enough
to have revenge. While he stayed at home,
(some months, | b~elieve,) he never spoke to
Henry. After This, he went to sea, and was
absent four or five years. But Albert was "a
boy of many good qualities. Hel laid up mo-
ney. While the vessel was loading and I'M
loading at the ports of the distant countries
he visited, he made short excursions into the
interior, and made use of his eyes and ears
to improve his mind and gain VIII Il inlorma-
ton he could. and cam back an amazingly
stout athletic young man, and apparently
greatly improved. He was frank and social
with the rest Of the family, but not a word
did he say to Henry. The latter by this time
had become a Methodist preacher, and Al
bert's conduct toward him grieved him to
the heart. After a time, Henry went to Al
bert, and with tears i'll his eyes said to him,
'Albert, | cannot possibly live in this way
any longer. Your silence | cannot belr an
other hour. You remember you said, when
you whipped me, you would speak to me a.
gain; and | am now ready to receive your
punishment. Let us go to the barn; / will
pull off my coat-I promise you that | will
make no resistance, and you may whip me as
long as you please, and we will then be friends.
| never should have struck you, if motIor had
not requested it, | am sorry that | did,
Albert's stout heart could bear blows in al
most any quantity, without shrinking; but
Henry's love he could not withstand; it melt
ed his proud spirit instantly, aud in a mo-
ment he was bathed in tears. They embrao-
ed each other directly, For a time their love
was too great for utterdnce, hut soon Albert
expressed his regret for what he had said, and
they are now, for aught | know, two as low
ing brothers as any in the country; and to
God, the God Of peace, be all the glory.
The parent who would train up a child in
the way he should go, must go in the way
he would tain up a child,

THE BEGGAR AND BANKER.

"Stand out of the way," said a rough voice
under my window, one day as | sat musing
over the bustling scenes below me-, at my
lodgings.
'Your honor will please recollect," repli-
eI a sharp but somewhat indignant voiae,
''your honor will please recollect that | am
a beggar, and have just as much right to the
road as YOURSELF"
Sand / am a banker" was retorted still
more angrily.
Amused at this strange dialogue, l leaned
over the case and beheld two citizens in a
position which a pugilist would denominate
squared, their persons presenting a contrast at
once iudicrous and instructive. The one,
was a purse-proud, lordly man, apparently in
silk, and protecting a carcass nearly the cir
conference of a hogshead; the other, ragged
and dirty, but an equally impudent and self
important personage; and from a comparison
of their countenances, it would have puzzled
the most profound M. d. which of their TO-
tundities was stored habitually with good
~victuals and drink. Upon close observation,
however, of the banker, / discovered, almost
as soon as my eyes fell upon it, a line be-
speaking somewhat of humor, and awaken
ing curiosity, as he stood fixed, and eyed his
antagonist; and this became more clear and
conspicuous as he lowered his tone and said,
"How will your right appearl"
"Why, listen a moment, and I will teach
you," said the beggar. SIN the first place,
do you take notice, God has given ne a soul
and a body Just as good for the purpose of
eating, thinking, and drinking, and taking
my pleasure, as he has you-and then you
may remember Dives and LAZARUS as we
pass. Then again, 1t is a free country, and
here again we are on an equality-for you
must know that even here a beggar's dog may
look a gentleman in the face with as much
indifference as he would a brother. and
you have the same common master; are

substance. The defence was, that they wero
not legally married. 1t appeared that NO
clergyman, or minister of law, officiated ut
the marriage ceremony; but that the parties
acknowledged themselves man and wife in
the presence of witnesses. This, Judge
Sargent decided to be legal marriage, and Of

payment Of $40 per week for the support Of
