Women IS CmSA.-Woma is in a more
degraded position in China than in any 9th
er part of the globe, and her humiliation is
rendered more conspicuously by the extent
to which civilization aud education have
been carried in the empire. In no rank is
she regarded as the companion Of man, but
is treated solely as the slave of his caprice
and passions. Even amongst the females Of
the highest rank, few are found who can
read or write; their education is confined TO
the art of embroidery, playing on horrid
three-stringed guitar, and singing; but the
obligation Of obedience 10 man is carly in
culcated, and the greater portion of their
time is spent in smoking and playing at
cards. The women of the poorer classes
have no education, and can be considered
but little better than beasts Of burden. A
man Of that rank will walk deliberately by
his wife's side, while she toucrs under a
heavy load; and frequently may she be
seen yokcd to a pillow, while her husband
guides it Those of the lower classes who
are good looking, according to Chinese ideas
Of beauty, are purchased by the rich at
about twelve or fourteen years, for concu-
bines, aud are then instructed according to
their masters ideas. The Chinese cannot
at all comprehend the European mode Of
treating ladies with respect and Difference,
and being naturally suPersiitious, attribute
10 devilsh ats practiced by the fair sex, the
just appreciation we entertain ofihcir value /;
in short, they consider European ladies'
have an influence somewhat similar TO that
asclibod to an evil eye by Italian supersti-
ton. Chinese domestics have very great
ol lection TO reside in European family,
over which lady Presides and tradition
of theirs coincide with their sup rslilion
about uur frmal s." That China should
never be onlucrcd unit woman reigned
in the far West" Some say that this pro-
phcsy was never heard Of until they were
conquered by the army Of Queen Victoria.
BE this as il may, they all contend that it is

WORTH KNowINo.-Some Of the papers,
of late, have had paragraph recommend
ing the use of wheat flour in the case of
scalds or burns. A gentleman at DAYTON,
Ohio, saw it, and The other day, as he writes
the Empire, tested il to his satisfaction.
He says:
/" While al the supper table, a little child
which was seated in IFS mothers lap, sud-
denly grnsPed hold of a cup full of hot tea
severel y scalding its lefl hand and arm. /
immediately brought a pan of -four and
plunged the arm into it, covering entirely
the parts scalded with the -four. The effect
was truly remarkable-the pain was gone
instantly. then bandaged the arm loosly,
applying plenty Of -four next 10 the skin,
and on the following morning there was moi
the least sign that the arm had been scald-
ed-neither did the child suffer the least
pain alter the application OF the -four"
Reader, do you bear this little fact in
mind If similar occasion offers.

they did, a few bushes and hearty

sequences of the disclosure; so the lit

fully executed; Major Elliott not enter

this beautiful, fascinating Fanny Gas

Whether they might have fallen in
love with each other had they met
under more prosaic circumstances, there
is no saying. AS it was, they did so
almost at first sight. 1t is needless to
say, that Major Elliott extended his
visit beyond the day or two he had en-
gagged for; and when Mr.Iand Mrs. Gas
koin saw how matters were going, they
recommended an immediate avowal of
the little deception that had been prac-
ticed, lest some ill-timed visitor should
nopportunely let out the secret. which
had already been endangered more
than once by the forgetfulness of the
servants; but Frances wished TO pro-
long their diversion till she should find

treme curiosity 10 know how Major
Elliott intended to release himself
from the engagement formed by Col
Seymour, in which he had tacitly, if
agow sdIy, acquiesced. 1t was Ger
tainly very f1attering that her charms
had proved sufficiently powerful to
make him forget it; but that he should
have yielded to the temptation without
the slightest appearance of struggle,
did somewhat surprise her, as indeed
from their knowledge of his character,
it did Mr.. and Mrs. Gaskcin Not that
they would have expected him to ad-
here to the contract, if doing so proved
repngnant either TO himself or the
young lady; but under all the circum-
stances of the case, they would have
thought his conduct less open 10 ex-
ception, if he had deferred entering
into any other engagement till he had
seen Miss Seymour. 1t was true, that
he had not yet offered his hand to his
friend Gaskoin's charming niece; but
neither she, nor any one else, enter

SO; and Frances never found herself
alone with him, that her heart did moi
beat high with the expectation of what
might be coming.

Dangers Of Brandy Drinking-In
the last number of the Irish Quarterly
Review, the weakness of poor Maginn
is thus alluded to:
He now turned for comfort ani inspi.
ration to the foul fiend, brandy, which
has been the cause of misery and dea tn
TO so many men of genius. We regret
the errors of Addison and Steele; we
sigh at the recollectionS of poor More
land the painter, working at his last
picture, with the brush in one hand
and glass of brandy in the other-for
he had then arrived at that terrible
condition in which reason could visit
him only through intoxication; and
Maginn, although not so fallen as this,
sunk deeply. The weary hours of
watching brought no resource but that
which copious draughts of the LIQUID
could supply. Health was fading away
the brightest years of life were passed
forever; sud as the dim future lowered,
he gazed upon it under the influence of
that demon which enthralled the brill
liant souls of Addison, of Sheridan, of
Charles Lamb, and which sent the once
stalwart form of Theodore Hook, a
miserable, wretched skeleton, to the
grave. Maginn, we know, felt his po-
sltion. He was neglected by his own
party-he was forgotten by many of his
former friends; and as we looked upon
him in his pitiable condition, and COM
pared what We then saw of him with
what he might have been, we often re-
called the fearful passage of Charles
Lamb: "When you find tickling
relish upon your tongue, especially if
you find preternatnral flow of ideas
setting in upon you at the sight of
bottle and fresh glasses, avoid giving
way to ii, as you would fly your great
est destruction. If you cannot crush
the power of fancy, or that within you
you mistake for such, divert it, give it
some other play. Write an essay, pen
a character or description-but moi, as
| do now with tears trickling down
your cheeks. To be an object of COM
passion to friends, of derision TO foes; to
be suspected by strangers, stared at by
fools; to be esteemed dull when you
cannot be witty; to be applauded for
witty when you know you have been
dull to be called upon for the extern
poraneous exercise of that faculty
which no premeditation can give; to
be set on to provoke mirth which pro-
cures the procurer hatred; to give
pleasure, and be paid with squirting
malice: 10 swallow draughts of life
destroying wine, which are to be dis
titled into airy breath, to tickle vain
auditors, to mortgage miserable NOR
rows for nights of madness; to waste
whole seas of time upon those who
pay it back in little, inconsiderable
drops of grudging applause-are the
wages of bufoonery and death.

% No man should be delicate
about asking for what ia properly his
due. If he negleets doing SO, he is de-
ficient in that spirit of independence
which he should observe in all his ac-
tions. Rights are rights, and if not
granted, should be demanded. The
selfish world is little inclined to give
one his own unless he have the manli-
ness to claim it. The lack of the prop
er fulfillment of this principle has lost
to many, fortune, fame, and reputation.
