Death Of the Emperor of China.-By
the steamship America we had news Of
the death of Nong Tye, ras he is more
often designated and better known, TO
we Kwang, Emperor of China We
have learned from Mr.. Ashowe, the
young Chinaman in the employ of Red
ding & Co, proprietors of the China Tea
Company, many interesting facts concer-
nlng the customs which obtain in his
country at a ajuncture like this to which
we have referee He says that the peo-
pie all go into mourning in white at the
ceremony of the funeral. Afterwards
black and stone color are worn, but
never red, yellow, or blue. The Empe-
ror's coffin will be kept one year in his
palace before it is consigned to the tomb;
in fact it sa general custom with the
Chinese to keep the coffins in the house
n longer or shorter period, according to
the Importance and wealth of the family
to which the deceased belongs.
Ashowe says that the coffin OF his faith
er was kept in the house three weeks.
The Emperor's children will mourn
much longer time than any others, and
the relatives according to their blood
those nearest Of kin wearing the SYM
bols of grief the longest This Empc-
ror Ashowe says, is thirty years old
10 commemorate his death, and for sake
of decency, all the theatres will be
c,oscd. Every mandarin will, to use
sea phrase, "douse his buttons" wear
no Insignia of rank, and go about all in
black.
1'ho death Of the Emperor, as in the
case of any influential subject of his en-
pire, is notified by printed proclamations,
and thousands of handbills are distributee
at the doors of dwelling houses, announ-
eng the event, and the time of his funer-
al obsequies. The case of the Emperor,
however, is SO important, that the hand
bill becomes pamphlet, or book, which
speaks volumes.
The BARRIERS feel the death of the EN-
peror lttouches them nearly, for Ell
quctte forbids the Mandarins and people
OF quality to shave their heads for a
whole year; nor do they pay tl.eir atten-
ton to their tails or queues as formerly.
Neither do they coax and extend them
with silk cord, but rather tic then, short.
Mr. Ashowe says that the color of the
paper upon which the proclamations al
luded to are printed is invariably nankcen,
and the copper coin is called in and chan
ged, the new emission bearing the name
OF the Emperor's successors. Business
he thinks must be dull for two or three
months-there will be neither music nor
dancing, shaving or npparcling. The most
subdued tone will pcrvadc all China, and
the gongs will cease to beat in the Tenn
pie. TBost Jour

One Thing at Time Step among
your neighbors, reader, and see whether
those among them who have got along
smoothly, and accumulated property and
gained a good name, have not been men
who bent themselves to one single branch
of busine ho brought all their pow
ers to bear upon one point. and build on
one foundation. 1t must be so.
Go out in The spring, when the sun is
yet far distant, and you can scarcely feel
the influence of its beams, scattered as
they are over the wide face of creation,
but collect those beams to focus, and
they kindle up flame in an instant. So
the man that squanders his talents and
his strength on many things. will fail to
make an impression with either; but let
him draw them to point, let him strike
at single object, and it will yield before
him.

.T,s Ecauisife Poem.

We have much pleasure in being able
first 10 present 10 our readers, the follow
ing exquisite poem from the pen of ELIZA
Cook. We have seldom or never read
anything more entirely beautiful than this
which we extract from late copy OF her
Journal forw arded TO us by the lady her
self.-Model Courier.
"Thers's a Silver Lining TO Every Cloud"
The poet or priest who told US this
Served mankind in the hottest way;
For i, lit up the earth with the stars of bliss
That beacons the soul with cheerful ray.l
Too often we wander 6espairing and blind.
Breathing our useless murmurs aloud;
But rs kinder to bid us seek and find
"a silver lining in every cloud"
May not walk in the dingle ground
When nothing but Autumn's dead leaves are
seen;
But search beneath them, land peeping around
Are the young Spring tufts of blue and green
-Tis q beautiful eye that ever perceives
The presence OF God in Mortality's crowd,
IT'S q saving creed that thinks and bieves
There's silver lining 10 every cloud"
Let ns look closely before we condemn
Bushes that bear no bloom of fruit,
There may not be beauty in leaves or stem,
But virtue may dwell far down at the root
And let Us beware how utterly spurn
Brothers that seem all cold and proud
IF their bosoms were opened, perchance we
might learn
There's silver lining to every cloud"
Let US not cast out Mercy and Truth,
When Guilt is before in chains and shame
When Passion and Vice have cankered youth,
And Age lives with a branded name;,
Something of good may till be there,
Though its voice may never be hesrd aloud
For, while black with the vspours of pesiilen,
air,
There's silver lining to every cloud"
Sad a.e the sorrows that often times come,
Heavy and dull. and blighting and chill,
Shutting the light from our heart and ou
homo,
Marring our hopes and defying our will;
but let Us not sink ooneaIh the woe
IT'S well per sk...-o aIs tIIru anu uun Ell
For be suer, though we may not oft soc i. be
low,
There's silver lining to every cloud"
AND when stern Dea III with skeleton hand,
has snatched the flower that grew in on
breast,
DO we not think off fairer land.
