PIRATES IN THE CHINA SEAs.-Letters from
China give some account of the attack upon
Dutch bark in Chinese waters. 1t was the most
formidable attack which has occurred there for
some time. The bark was boarded from five
junks, the pirates being mostly armed with
spears. After short but severe contest the
crew were driven forward all except the mate,
who had been badly wounded, and who wa.

| was also badly injured, but received some atten-
! tion at the hands of the pirates, who, though
they plundered his vessel, gave him cloak to

The Loss OF A WIFE.-We copy the following
beautiful article from an exchange.
In comparison with the loss of wife, all
other bereavements are trifing The wife, she
who fills so large space in the domestic heaven :;
she who has busted herself SO unwearedly for
the precious ones around her bitter, bitter is
the tear that falls upon her cold clay You
stand beside her coffin and think of the past. 1t
seems an amber colored pathway, where the
sun shone upon beautiful flowers, and the stars
hung glittering overhead. Faiu would the
soul linger there-no thorns are remembered
save those your hands may unwillingly have
planted, Her noble, tender heart lies open to
your inmost sight. You think of her as all
gentleness, all beauty, all purity. But she
is dead The dear head that laid upon your
bosom rests in the still darkness upon pillow
| of clay. The hands that have ministered so
untiringly are folded, white and cold beneath
the gloomy portals. The heart, whose every
beat measured an eternity of love, lies under
your feet. The flowers she bent over with a
smile, bend now above her in tears, shaking
the dew from their petals that the verdure
around her may be kept green and beautiful
| There is no white arm over your shoulder
no speaking face to look up into the eye of love
mo trembling lips to murmur, "0h it is SO
sadp'

The publication ofthis work viii be continued
by the subscribers and in due time they will pub
lish in the several States complete list ofagcnts

That the authormay have ample time 10 prepare
his work according 10 his views Of completeness |;
that the publishers may be enabled TO issue the
numbers with promptness and at stated periods,
thereby protecting the interest of their agents. the
following arrangement is announced in the full

To stereotype the next six numbers, making ten

more are pw5lished t.e
The numbers will then be issued monthly, with
out interruption, TO the end. Those who prefer
the volume bound will be accommodated without
extra charge for binding; and the numbers already
published, from one 10 four, will be taken in part

earnest desire Of many speedily TO possess the

thor, whose labors are incessant, will appear OBJ
vious 10 all without particular explanation.
