LOVE.

With man, love is nevera passion Of

sacrificed for her affections. She will
leave The sunny home of her childhood,
the protecting roof OF her kindred, forget
the counsels Of her sire, the adlnonshins
voice Of that mother on whose bosom her
head has been piIIowcd, Corsake all she
has chung to in years of girlish sim.
pIicry 10 all that woman can do con.
SiSlcnIIy with honor, and throw herself
into the man She dolizes. He that would
iorsake a woman, after these testimonies
OF affection, is too gross william to be
called man. The wrath of Heaven will
pursue him, the brand of Cain is upor
his brow, and the curse Of Judas will ran
kle his heart Unrequttcd love witt
man is to him never a curse Of perpetua
misery; other dreams will flow in upol
his imagination; the abstraction of bust
ness, the meteor of ambition, or the pur
suit of wealth will win him away from
his early in(atuaton. Ii is not thus witt
women. Although the scene may change
and years, long, whitening, snd Iingerin
years, steal away the rose from the cheeI
of beauty, the ruins Of breaking hear
cannot be anna gamatod; the memories o
that idle vision cannot be obIiterated from
tho soul; she pines, nerves herself anew
with pride, and pines away again, unit
her gentle spirit bids adieu to the trooch
cries of earth, and fits away into the bo
som of her God.

Writing and Speaking Chinese.

We, in England, certainly do not
want either to read or speak Chinese.
We only want to know to what extent
it is necessary for our interests that
Chinese shall be spoken and written
by Englishmen in China, and what
are the conditions of the necessary
supply. In country where the roses
have no fragrance, and the women no
pctticoats; where the laborcr has no
Sabbath, and the magistrate no sense
of honor; where the roads bear no
vehicles, and the ships no kcels; where
old men fly kites; where the needle
points to the south; and the sign OF
being puzzled is to scratch the antip-
odes Of the head; where the place Of
honor is on the left hand, and the seat
Of intellect is in the stomach; where
to take off your hat is an insolent ges-
ture, and to wear white garments is to
put yourself in mourning-wc ought
not to be astonished to find n lltera-
ture without an alphabet and a Ian.
guago without a grammar.
If we add that for countless centu-
ries the Government has been in the
hands of State Philosophers, and the
vcrnacular dialects have been aban-
doned to the laborng class | am
about, in the next few words, to call
forth the execration of every Sinolo-
que in Europe and Asia) we must
not be startled to find that this Chi
ncse language is most intricate, cum
brous, and unwieldIy vehicle Of
thought that ever obtained among any
people. There are eighteen distinct
languages in China, besides the Court
dialect; and although by beautiful
invention, deserving Of all imitation,
the written languages is so contrived
as TO denote by the same character
the sounds Of each OF the nineteen
different words, all Of which it equally
represents, this il Of no great use
among the multitude, who cannot
read London Times.

TOO TRUE.

When a rakish youth goes astray,
friends gather around him in order TO re-
store him to the path Of virtue. Gentle
ness and kindness are lavished upon him
to win him back TO innocence aad peace.
No one would ever suspect that he had
sinned. But when a poor conGding girl
is betrayed, she receives the brand OF So
cety and is hencelorth driven from the
ways of virtue. The betrayer is honored,
respected, esteemed-there is no peace
for her this side Of the grave. Society
has no loving. hel ping hand for her, no
smiles Of peace, no voice Of forgiveness
There are earthly moralities unknown tc
heaven. There is deep wrong in them
and fearful are the consequences.

from Canada, have been such as to

it cannot be worse than bank notes.
