A few Sundays ago, modest young gentleman Of
our acquaintance attended the morning service in
Of our fashionable churches. He was kindly shown

before beautiful young lady entered, and with a
graceful wave of the hand preventing our friend from
rising to give her place. quietly sunk into seat near
found the page and with sweet smile that set his
heart a humping, handed her neghbor the book.
The minister raised his hands in prayer and the fair
girl knelt, and in this posture perpexed her friend to
know which most to admire, her beauty or her de-
voutness. Presently the prayer was concluded, and
the congregation resumed their seats. Our friend
specially raised his eyes from the fair form he had
been so earnestly scanning, lest when she looked up
she would detect him staring at her. After couple
Of seconds he darted furtve glance at his charmer
and was astonished to see her still on her knees. He
looked closely, and saw that she was much affected
trembling in violent agitation, no doubt from the elo
quent power of the preacher. Deeply sympathizng
he watched her closely. Her emotion became more
violent reaching her hand behind her, she would
convulsyey grasp her clothing and strain as it were
to rend the brilliant fabric of her dress. The sight
was exceedingly painful to behold, but he still gazed,
IKE one entranced with wonder and establishment
After minute the lady raised her face, heretofore
concealed in the cushion and with her hand made an
unmistakabe beckon to our friend. He quickly moved
along the pew towards her, and inclined his she

and in this position the highest hoop of her new fan

possible for her to raise herself staghten her limbs
The more she struggled, the tighter was she

PLUCKY Mrs. kEMBLE.-The Boston Traveller re
ates the following anecdoe Of the eccentric actress


Judge Henry W. Bishop, of Lenox, had a very
vicious horse which, among other bad habits had
that of lying down with its rider kicking and biting
in most violent way. So the Judge sold his horse,
but not many days afterwards he surprised to see
him standing at the hotel door in Lenox with side
saddle upon his back Having learned that Mrs. KEN
Bile was proposing to ride him, the Judge felt it his
duty to demonstrate with her. So he waited until
she came down, and then informed her plainly as to
the characteristics OF the animal, and hoped she
would not think of mounting him. "Theres great
deal of difference between you and me- Mr. Bishop"
said the lady. "When you are on the horses back
he knows you are afraid of him when l am on his
back, he knows he is afraid of me-"

France and England VS.. China.


The two great European powers seem to
feel the necessity of forming common in
terest in order to maintain their friendly
relations. National hatred was menacing
both countries with war when the Russian
campaign broke out, and when that was over
petty jealousies made them uncomfortable
toward one another, and something in
which they could both feel an interest was
needed to keep them out of mischief making
and so they have formed an alliance against
poor John Chinaman and have sent out an
Envoy Extraordinary, Minister Plenipoten-
tlary, to read him the " riot act" which of
course John won't understand. but will get
his dahder up a little and "cuss" a little
more, which will be just what John Bull and
his French Cousin want, and away will go q
big fleet of war ships, loaded with men and
powder and guns, and before he can say
Jack Robson, John will hear the banging
cannon of the allied powers" and by the
time he fairly understands what they are do
ing, he will find himself whipped, and then
he will do just what they tell him to, and
they will have to hunt up muss with some
body else. We can't helpit.

FEEDING THE DEAD-The California Ear
press, of yesterday, contains the annexed
description of a singular Chinese custom:
"A curious sight was presented at the
grave yard on yesterday morning. A num-
Der of Chinese have been buried there, and
over their ashes some singular "tantrums"
have been cut up bytheir surviving relatives.
On yesterday morning, can1es were OBJ
served to be sticking all over the Chinese
graves, and good lot of pork to be deposit
ed in their immediate vicinity. An indef-
mite number of scraps of yellow paper, with
various letters cut into them with a knife or
scissors, were laid all over the graves, and
held down by clods of dirt. Some of the
candles were burning, while others were ex.
tinguished. What the superstition connect
ed with the candles may be we have not the
means, at present, of knowing, but the scraps
we understand, are mssives sent from the
living to the dead, (to keep them posted,
perhaps on mundane affairs,) and the pork
is designed for the celestial defuncts to eat
