A CIRCULAR HUST ONE HUNDREr
AND SEvENTY-FIvE YEARS AGo.-In the
year 1852, KANGHI a Manchoo Tartar
Emperor, found China so fully subdued
that he concluded to visit his native
Tartary, which he did with seventy
thousand men, and diverted himself
with hunting; thus giving origin to the
custom of hunting on scale unknown
before, and which still continues to be
practised in those countries.
These hunts serve TO exercise the
troops in winter, and are of great an
tiquity among the Tartars.
The Emperor commands the hunts
men to trace out vast circle, of per-
haps thirty miles in circumference
The officers then station their troops,
enclosing it around; the soldiers begin
their march to the sound of martial
music, and continue gradually to ad-
vance towards the centre, keeping the
ring unbroken, and thus driving before
them the wild animals within the circle;
but they are forbidden to kill or injure
any of them, however ferocious they
may be. They encamp every night,
when all the maneuvers are punctuaily
executed. The march lasts many weeks;
the space lessons; and the creatures,
finding themselves closely pressed, flee
to the mountains and forests, whence
they are soon dislodged by the hunters
opening their dens and kennels with
spades and mattocks, and even search
ing them out with ferrets.
As the narrowed ring brings the be-
wildered animals together,-the strong,
growing furious, devour the weak. and
the air is rent with horrid howlings,
yells, and screams Of ferocity or agony.
The soldiers are scarce able to drive
the beasts forward by incessant shouts.
At length, when they are pent into so
small space that they can all be seen, !
the drums, cymbals, and other music
set up a deafening clangor. This,
Joined to the fierce cries of the hunters
and soldiers, so terriies and astonishes
The beasts. that they lose all their fero-
,ity: lions and tigers, bears and wolves
crouch subdued, and endeavor to skulk
,ne behind the other. I9'
The great khan accompanied, by his
ions and chief officers, first enters the
;ircle. holding hisdrswn-sabre, and bow
md arrows, and begins the terrific
by striking the most savage Of
be animals. Many Of these, at their
asst extremity, on being wounded, re-
iuine their ferocity. and struggle hard

~A few wears ago talented yo,

@ A few years ago talented young
man was employed as senior clerk in
forwarding establishment in this city;
great confidence was reposed in him,
but however strong his principles of in
tegrity may have been, they did not
prove sufficient for him TO cope success
fully against the temptations of large
city--he became ensnared in the vices
and designations of the gaming table;
and in order TO meet his continual de-
mands for money, drew upon the funds
of his employer. It became known,

During the present winter and during
these pressing times, this gentleman
being on visit here, was greatly sur
prised by this same young man handing

are drawn into the malstroom OF de-
struction unawares. How many clerks
on small salaries fritter away the most
precious years Of manhood. We may

of your slender salaries laid by as part
of foundation, viii be worth more to |
you than hundred earned in after like. |
