The Value Of an cid ETaain China.

The reasonableness and placability of the
natives were, on one occasion, evinced IN
rather a remarkable manner at Chusan.
while / was there Nm Englishman had
come across some wild ducks in the canal

all his SHOT having been previously expend-
ed The bullet missed the ducks, and
glancing from the water, killed an old CHI
naman, who was sitting at his own door, en-
joying his pipe.
The unfortunate sportsman, Mortified at
the result Of his silly tlloughtlessness. hur-
ried away to take counsel with his friends,
who recommended him to try to settle the
matter with the relatives Of the deceased. to
prevent their complaint from being laid
formally before the authorities. who would
be obliged to award 4 heavy punishment for
such reckless carelessness. With this view
one Of his friends was despatched to visit

the result Of accident He deporcd the
unhappy circumstance which had deprived
the family Of 50 valuable and respectable a
member, and pointed out the cheering fact
that he was very old, and in the natural

The ambassador, delighted at hearing a

anticipated, but ccneealing bis satisfaction
pointed out that the deceased was 50 old
that he could hardly have estimated his short
remnant of existence at such a large sum !;
that he died very qniet and easy DEATH

A sweetness in the morning air.
A witching laughter in the woods.
A group of maidens everywhere.
With glowing checks and flowing hair,
And not a sorrow or care
Within their dainty hoods!
An agile feetness in their limbs.
A tint OF morning on their brows.
Their postures full OF girliSh whms;
No dapPled fawn so nimbly skins
Along the silver lakelet brins.
Beneath the dripling boughsl
They are a ruthless, romping rout,
Maraujers of each nook and glen:
They disappear with song and shout.
They beat the forests all about,
And ferret timid flowers out,
Then come in glee again.
Such knots of flowers and knots OF girls,
With beauty in their busy eyesl
One plaits a cluster with her curls.
Another in her finger twirls
A nosegay rich with liquid pearls,
\ tell-tale in disguise.
oh! girlhood is guerdon fair.
That still IS left a recreant race;
There's witchery in lis wayward air.
Sprinkling the sunshine everywhere;
Alasy that later years impair
Its simple guileless graceI
