every number with ayidity-than he would
have done in series Of years deprived Of the

China

We take the following extracts from an an.
thentic work, published By Mr. Williams, who.
from long residence in China has been ena
bled TO write knowingly upon tho various sui
ects embraced in his work:
ANIMALS OF CHINA The denseness Of the
population has long since entirely driven ou'
all wild quadrupeds; and there are also few
domestic ones, such as are found in eastern
countries Beasts Of burden are in great
degree superseded BY the means Of transport
afforded by the numerous rivers and canals
and by the coolies or porters, class Of athei
&c men, who take the place Of animals in cai
ryiug burdens and in dragging boats Ami
mails are excluded. to leave more food for men
There are no meadows for fcsding cattle, bu,
the entire soil i used in raising feed for tn
inhabitants. Wild cats arc sometimes caugh'
and are considered great dainty. Monkeys
are found in the south west provinces.
What few horses aud asses are found in
China are small, and very inferior in every re.
spect. The buffalo is sometimes used in plow
ing. Dromedares are used between Pekin
aud Tartary There arc also hogs. goats and
sheep. There is bot one variety OF dogs in
the country, an animal about one foot high
and two long resembling a small spaniel.
Rats are very abundant, and furnish the com.
mon people with meat. They are very large
and destructive TO crops.
0fihc birds in China, there arc the eagle,
the falcon, the magpie, crows. srarrows. cor
morants, curews. qnails pigeons, larks, pheas-
ants, the rice birds, and many species Of aquat-
ic birds The falcon is imperial property.
and the magpic is saarcd to the reignine fam
ily.
Fish form a very important part ofthc food
of the Chinese, and great care is taken in
raising them in artificial fsh.ponds The gold
and silver fishes are kept in glass globes as or
uamcnts. Among the ish eaten, are the cod,
sturgeon, mulet, carp, paarch. sea Dream. &c,
crab-tish aud oysters are common on the coast.
The larger species Of the reptiles are un-
known in China. Frogs, lizards, and fresh-
water tortoiscs are common. Yenomous SER
penis are very rare.

AGREEMENT AND DIrFERENcE.-Senti-
ments join man to man. opinions divide them.
The former are elementary and concentrate,
the latter are composite and scatter The
friendships Of youth are founded on sentiment;
the dissensions Of age results from opinion.
II we would know this at an early age if form.
ing our own mode Of thought, we could acquire
a liberal view Of that Of others, and even Ct
those that are opposed to ours, we should then
be more tolerant, and endeavor toreunite by
sentiment what is divided aud dispersed

My Russet Gown.

MY russet gown is dear to me.
Though years have passed away
Since my young heart beat joyously
Beneath its folds Of gray.
No jewels hung around my neck,
Or glittered IT, my hair;
With lightsome step, tript along,
My spirit knew no care;
The roses near my windows crept,
Aud she'd their sweets around.
Hard was the bed on which slept.
Bnt yet my sleep was sound.
Ny russell gown I laid aside
For one Of rich brocade
thought in my simplicity.
It's charms could never fade.
left tie cot where had passed
NV happy childhood years,
left my aged father sad
My mother was in tears;
left them for a wealthy home,
To be a rich mans bride.
And thought that splendor would atone
For loss Of all beside.
NV russell gown, when next I gazed
Upon its somhre hue,
Brought such lesson TO my heart,
All, sad as il was true.
Its simdle neatness seem'd &c mock
Ny silks and jewels gay.
And bore my wandering thoughts to those
Dear friends so far away.
] felt how fleeting were the Joys
That wealth alone can buy,
And for that humble cottage home
My bosom heaved sigh.
Ny russet gown still have kept,
To check my growing pride;
A true though silent monitor,
Ny folly 70 deride.
And when meet with aithiess friends,
Among the giddy throng.
Whom vice and pleasure in their train
Drag heedlessly along,
feel how gladly | would give
Ny coach and bed Of down,
Once more in sweet content to live,
And wear my russell gown.

TnE AGE OF CoNPLIMENTs.-Seemingly
everybody is getting 50 very polite to every.
body else, that it i beginning. to b. almost i'm.
possible for two or three persons to get togcth-
er without meeting Of two being got up to
presant the third with testimonial. If a
steamer goes on a rather lengthy voyage, there
is sure to be party mustered to pass fatter-
ing resolutions expressive Of confidence in the
captain although the ship may have gone sew
eral hundred miles out ofits way, and there
may have been variety Of other disagreeable
c0ntretempS.
The absurdity Of testimonial giving, has
reached such height that we may expect it
TO 90 still higher before it finally topples over,
and we shall not be astonished to hear that
two persons riding together in cab, have
formed themselves into a meeting for the pur-
pose representing the driver with a new lash
to bis whip, or some other appropriate testi-
monial." When we hear Of votes Of thanks
having been passed in favor Of the commap-
der Of steamer across the Atlantic, We feel
that the difficult navigation Of the Thames
would warrant the presentation Of peice Of
plate-say a toothpick-to the captains Of the
Penny Pink, or the IIalfpenny Bee, or the
Twopenny Citizen. Ii steamboat passengers
are to coms to complimentary votes, what rea-
son can there be why omnibus passengers
should not vote one oftheir body into the chair
and record series Of resolutions in honor Of
the driver. for bis able and impartial conduct
on the driving seat, or the conductor for his
uprightness on his oot-b0ard.-Punch.

The PorAro.-It is a fact not generally
