far, confined the burning ships. Scattered
by the raging hurricane, in every direction,
these everywhere spread devastation, turning
into fame whatever they touched, and
kindling the devourng fire in moment in
the other vessels. In the midst of this terri
BILE sea of fire, were heard the shrieks and
groans of an immense number of men, who,
given over to despair-tossed by the storm
pursued by the flames, and encompassed by
the raging waves, were, at last burned to a
crisp by the fire, or swallowed up in the wild
abyss of the stream. The Ki-ang, for a great
distance, resembled sea of fire, and in the
space of three hours all these vessels, with
the unhappy men on board, miserably per-
ished
=" 1t is agreed on all hands, that the num-
ber of vessels. according to a moderate estl-
mate, amounted to more than 900. The
| Chinese boats, as is well known, even the
smallest, are inhabited by the family Of the
captain, together with the crew. Indeed,
there are whole households, whose members
are born on board, where they live and die,
without knowing to what country they belong.
| They come into the world wherever the float
ing abode of their parents happens to be
found. Among the vessels burned were Sc
veral large ships. Many of them contained
from 40 to go persons. The bodies, mutila-
ted and dsfgured by the fire, which were
drawn out Of the stream, amounted to sc, 900.
These vessels were loaded with freight, and
belonged to Chinese from different provinces.
This may show the great and general be-
reavement caused by the fire. Such a terri
BILE confagration was never known-we vii
not say in China-but in the whole world.
As native, from Ham-yan-iee, was sur
veying the scene of desolation, he was sc
impressed with the number of the victims
that he ordered, at his own cost 10000 cof
fins, for the inerment of the bodies, which
could be afforded for FIVE or six francs. Thi:
sum is paid by the poor for their coffins
usually they cost them from 30 to 40 francs
and the rich pay several thousands, for the

Take care Of your Jeet.-Of all parts
OF the body, says DIR. Robertson, there
is not one which ought be so carefully
attended TO as the feet. Every person
knows from experience, that colds, and
many other diseases which proceed rom
the "wheels of the SYSTEM" tha, the
circulation of the blood may be very
easily checked there.
Yc, for all this, although every person
of common sense should be aware OF the
truth of what we have stated, there is
no part Of the human body 80 much tri-
fed with as the feet. The young, and
would-be- geneel-iooted, cramp their
fee, into thin-soled pinching boots and
shoes, in order to display neat feet, in
the fashionable sense OF the term.-
There is one great evil. against which
every person should be OIL their guard,
and it is one which is not often guarded
against-wc mean The change OF warm
for cold boots or shoes. A change is Of
ten made from thick to thin-soled shoes,
WITHOUT rejecting on the causes that
might cnsuc. In cold weather, boot
and shoes made Of good thick leathe, .
both in soles any uppers, should be worn
by all. Watcr-tights are not good if
they are air-,ights also India rubber
over shoes shoul never be worn except in
wet, splashy weather, aud then not very
long at once. Ii is hur:iul to the feet to
wear any covering that is nlr-iiyht over
them, aud for this reason India rubber
should be worn rs little as possible. No
part Of the body should be allowed to
have IL covering that entirely obstructs
the passage of the carbonic gas from
the pores Of The skin outwards, and the
moderate passage Of air inwards to the
skin. Life can be destroyed in very
short time, by entirely closing up the
pores of the skin. Good warm stock
ings and thick -solcd boots and shoes are
conservative Of health, and consequent
