DEATH AMONG THE CHINEsE.-The Able
Hue, in his book on The Chinese Empire, observes:
The astonishing calmness with which the Chinese
see the approach of death, does not fail when the
last moment arrives. They expire with the most
incom parable tranquility, without any of the emo
tons the sgtations, the agonies, that usually rens
der the moment Of death 30 terrific. Their life
goes out gently, like lamp thathas no more oil
II appears to us that this Is to be attributed, first
70 their soft and Iymphatic temperament; and, se.
coudly to their entire want of religious feeling.

usual on Sunday, to an unusually crowded congre-

The Rev. gentleman looked jsded aud worn
His face was as pale marble; but his manner
was firm and his look dignifed The jaded ap~
pearance is accounted for by the fact, stated by
himself, that he had been almost without eating

him, the anguish ofhis family aud friends, doubt,
