Woman in the Celestial Empjrc.

Woman is in a more degraded position in China
than IN any other part Of the globe, and her hu-
imitation Is rendered more conspicuous by the eX-
tent TO which civilization and education have been
carried IN the empire. In no rank is she regarded
as the companion of nan, but is treated solely as
the slave of his caprice and passions. Even
among females of the higher ranks. few are found
who can read or write their education is conn-
ed to the art OF embroidery, playing horrid
three strlnged guitar, and singing: but the oboa
ton OF obedenue 10 man is early inculcatcd and
The greater portion of their time is spent in smok-
ing and playing at cards. The women of the poor
er classes have no education, and be considered
but Iiule better than beasts of burdrn. A man or
that rank will walk deIIberaHiy by bis wife's side
while she totters under heavy load md fre-
quentiy she may be seen yoked to Il plough. while
her husband guides it Those of lower classes
who are good looking, according to the Chinese
IDEAS OF beauty. are purchased by the rich. at
about twelve or fourteen years, concubiues, and
are the instructed according to their masters ideas
The Chinese cannot at a! comprehend the Euro-
pean mode Of treating ladies with respect aud de-
terence, and being naturally supcr>tous. auri-
Duie to GeVish arts, practise by Ihe fair sex the
Just appreciation we entertain Of their value: Ia
short they consider European ladies' have an .f1n-
once somewhat similar to that ascrbed to an evil
eye by Italian superstition. Chinese domeslics
have very great objection to reside in a Euro
old tradition Of theirs curiously Comedies with
their superstition about our females that Chna
should never be conquered until woman reigned
IN The TAR West. Some say that this prophecy
was never heard Of until they were conquered by
The army Of Queen Victoria. Be this as It ulav
they all contend il be found in some of their
Oldest works.
Many traditions are eXtont in China relative 10
women and amongst other legends the horrible
practice Of deformng the female foot is thus aid
TO have commenced: The wife of one Of the an
cent emperors was found by her lord and master
near the apartment Of one of the great officers Of
the court who had the reputation of being very
handsome. RcceiyIng.irom the emperor torrent
OF abuse for her misconduct, she pleaded in her
defence that j! was not her fault, but tha; Of her
jeet, which were very large they took her to The
spot soreiy against her will. The emperor imme-
daty ordered The forePorI Of her foot to be ampu-
tated. Such Is the origin Of The crippled foot
which from this time became a fashion. The aD-
Pearance Of these distorted exlremi,es, which are
mere taperng stumPs, Is mos, disgusting to an
European eve.

Campbell, of Windsor, Canada, lwho was los, in
the woods on the lth OF August last. has return
ed 10 her friends, after an abseace of 2l da U.s.
The account that she gives of herself is quite
interesting. She had accidently parted from two
companions in he woods, and did not find them
again. She endeavored to return home BY fol-
lowing the sun and kept going around in crcu-
lar direction. never being more than or miles
from her mothers house. She frequently fell in
with camps, whore tents had been raised and fires
had been kinde ed, aud knew by that that large
parties of men were in search Of her. She lived
principally upon cranberries checker5erries, and
wood -sorrel, aud on occasion she found the
g.zzard of a partridge, which Fad been left at an
encampment. At length she got upon the right
track aud arrived safely ut the house of Il friend,
abou: q mile from her home. Thus this young
girl OF II, thny clad, survived for y days. eX-
posed 20 severe storms, with no FOOD but wild bef-
res. She saws that she was never frightened
while in the woods.
