CHINESE OPINION OF WoMENs' Souls.

what is the value Of women in the estima-

through the street where there were so ma

they were Christians. Isn't .ha, nonsense?"

the women become Christians for ," "Whst
for To save their souls, like the men -
"But they have no souls !" said Master Ting,
stepping back pace, and folding his arms;
omen have no souls! You can't make
Christians Of them !" We endeavored 10
remove the scruples Of The worthy man up
on this point, and TO give him some few
sounder ideas on the subjec. Of women's

succeeded. The very notion tickled bis

THE LITTLE FROCK AND SHOES

BY BENJAMIN r. MITCHELL.
A little frock but slightly worn,
Of blue and white delain,
With edging round the neck and sleeves,
Lay folded neat and plain,
Besides little pair shoes,
With here and there flaw;
Lay half concealed among the things
In mothers bureau drawer!
Summer had passed away from earth,
With all her sweetest ties,
The birds had left their summer haunts,
For more congenial skies;
The twilight breeze sweetly played
Among the dews Of even
An angel left its home on high,
To gathers flowers for heaven!
The angel near and nearer came,
Where sister sick did lie;
Then gently famed her faded cheek.
And painted to the sky
The morning shone upon the bed,
The autumn wind blew free.
The angel moved its silvery wings,
And whispered "come with me-"
We gathered round her dying bed,
With hearts to weep and pray,
And many were the tears we shed,
When sister went away!
No bitter tears had she to weep,
No sin to be forgiven,
But closed her little eyes to sleep,
To open them in heaven.
We laid her in the earth's green breast,
Down by the village green,
Where gently weeps the dewy grass,
And summer flowers are seen;
And often when dear mother goes
To get her things to use,
see her drop silent tear
On sisters frock and shoes.

WHAT is THE USE OF VITA grave
man canno, conceive wha. is the use of wit
in eocie!y; person who takes a strong,
common-sense view of the subject, is fox
pushing ou. by the head and shoulders an
ingenious lheorist, who catches at the slight
est and faintest analogies; and another man,
who scents the ridiculous from afar, will
hold no commerce with him who tests ex-
quisi.ely the fine feeling Of the heart, and is
alive to nothing else; whereas talent is tall
en,, and mind is mind in all its branches
Wi, gives to life one Of its bes. f,vors;
common sense leads to immediate action,
and gives society its daily motion; large
and comprehensive views its annual ro,a-
,ion. Rdicule chas,ses folly and impu-
dence, and keeps men in their proper sphere.
Subllety seizes hold Of the fine threads Of
truth. Analogy darts away in The most SUB
lime discoveries. Feeling paints all the ex-
quisite passions Of mans soul, end rewards
them by a thousand inward visi,a,ions for
