"Whatl has any one dared to write
me letter unfit for mr. wife to read?"
''0n, no. 1t is couched in the most
chaste language. Bat the disgrace!'
Tie husband eag- ily caught up the let

What if you have failed in businessl
You still have life and health. Don't
sit down and cry about your mishaps,
for that will never get you out of debt,
nor buy your children frocks. Go to
work at something, eat sparingly, dress
moderately, drink nothing exciting. and
you'll be up in the world again.

THE LATE BATTLES.

Hone KONG, June 10, l-j7,
The principal event of the last two weeks has
been the active operations of the English feet up
the river, both below and above Whampoa. 1t may
not be amss to give brief sketch Of localities here
in order to q better understanding of operations.
From Hong Kong to Whampoa is about sixty miles,
the greater part Of the distance being through
kind Of archipelago. The islands are so thickly
scattered that one seems to be continually in chan
mel or river of greater or less width all the way,
ing, and salt water often is found within ten miles
of WhampOa. Even the river proper is so divided
by islands that you seem to have half dozen small
rivers, instead Of one great one. These channels
or reaches" as they are caled-have constantly
afforded shelter to swarms of Mandarin junks and
snake boats" these last being long, low kind
OF boat, pulling from forty to eighty oars, and mount
ing two Or three guns Of small caiber. They are
rascaly concerns, making no noise in the water and
as they draw only twelve eighteen inches of water
can easily eude pursuit. There was large fleet Of
these unbs and beats which occupied what is called

river few miles below Whanpoa, and these have
done great damage, firing upon the river steamers.

dered and their heads sent to Canton for the Gov
ernors cabinet
None OF the large steamers could get within two
miles OF the mouth Of the creek aud 80 the Chinese
used TO amuse themselves by keeping out of gun
shot till the war steamers passed, and then running
out to plumber till they came back. The arrival OF
the gun boats, however, has quite interfered with
this pastime, and last week unexpected dash was
made into the creek and before John ChlnaHan
could put away his chopstcks and tie bis tail around
bis head (WHICH believe, are the first preparations
for action according to Celestial tactics) half the
feet Vas sunk, and the balance in fair way to be.
Everybody says, GOOD enough for the scoundrels;"
and as We learn how the Mimic rifles 81 strewed the
rice fields with fallen fugitiyes" while grape and

swimming or drowning men, We, Christians, rub
