TIE CHINESE CAPITAL.-The appearance of Pekin is disappointing. The great width of the streets makes the houses look small and mean, but the wood carving in front ot most of them is most wonderful in the quantity and minuteness of its detail. Many of these car wings are gilt, and in long street of these shops the effect is good. In dry weather the streets are four inches deep in dust; In wet, foot deep in mud There IS a raised road in the middle of the street on which two carts can easily drive abreast; on either side of thls road there is lower one of about the same breadth. The wall of the Imperial City, which occupies the center of Pekin, is high and handsome, but not intended for defense ; the top has the yellow tile; inside this wall are the palaces of the imperial family. The emperor's palace, or the interdicted city, as it is called, is in the center of this city, and surrounded by the same kind of wall,

THE EXILE.

 Roll on ye white surges, with dreadful commotion, And swallow me up with this desolate shore; And wait, ye kind waves, OCT the deep-billow'd
 ocean,
 A sigh to the land I shall visit no more. Oh tell me, kind sun, are thy genial rays burning Where once was the home ofthe good and brave Oh say dost thou find the bright day-star yet
 gIeaming, When thou biddest adieu to the orient wave? 0h tell me- wild cormorant, thy course art thou
 bending
 To bring to this hell of keen anguish a smile? Oh say, is a friend-if a friend 1 havc-sending Some news that shall light up this storm-beaten
 isle?
 But see, in the heavens, the tempest, impending, Has dOom'd me afar from my fathers to die; And hark! the deep thunders the ocean-waye
 rending,
 Forbid me 10 hear from my cottage sigh. An! well remember the scenes of my childhood, The hawthorn ndiyy thattwinedround the door; Full well remember the "deep-tangled" wildwood, And cen l remember the bleak, bowling moor. An well I remember the moss round the fountain. Where many an hour l have slumberd away !; And, ah, the green turf on the oak-shaded moun-
 tain,
 Where l and the watchdog used often to play. But mercy. kind mercy, from memory sever The country and friends I can never more see: The child of my misfortune, I'm here doomed for
 ever
 To mourn for a home, that perhaps mourns for
 me.
 Then roll on. ye surges, with dreadful commotion, And swallow me up with this desoate shore; And end this keen misery, o deep-billow d ocean, For l sigh for a land shall visit no more.

QUEEN }ICT0GIA's ORTHODOX DOVES TIcITY.-Two of the little English princesses once went into room where servant was polishing stove-grate. and insisted on & help ing" her. After getting possession of the brushes they polished the woman's face in- stead of the grate. The servant was ready to sink with confusion, for she could not leave the apartment without encountering Prince Albert. He Was astonished to see so dirty an object emerging from his rooms, and in dignanty inquired the meaning of it. The servant reluctantly told him it soon reached the ears of the queen, and she was seen cross ing the court, leading the two princesses by the hand toward the servants quarters. Her majesty sought out the woman made her daughters ask her pardon, and sent them at once to the nearest millinery and dress estab- lshment to buy a complete outft-dress, bon net, shawl gloves etc, and present them to the servant in lieu of the dress they had soiled upon her. The articles were purchased with their own money, and consequently their supply of that useful commodity was cur tailed materially; but this they said they didn't care for in the least-in fact, it rather pleased them than otherwise-it was asking the woman's pardon they didn't like.

TINE.-Ninety years hence not a single man or woman, now twenty years of age, will be alive Ninety years. Alas. how many of the lively actors at present on the stage of life will make their exit long ere ninety years shall have rolled away. And could we be sure of ninety years, what are they? "A tale that is told;" a dream; an empty sound, that passeth on the wings of the wind away, and is forgotten. Years shorten as man ad- yances in age. Like the degrees in Iongi- tude mans life declines as he travels towards the frozen pole, until it dwindles to point and yanishes forever. Is it possible that life is of so short Q durationl Will ninety years erase all the golden names over the in town and country, and substitute others in their etead? Will all the blooming beauties fade and disappear, all the pride and passion, the love, hope, and joy, pass away in ninety years and be forgotten? Ninety years " says Death do you think shall wait ninety years? Be- hold to-day, and tomorrow, and every day is mine. When ninety years are past, this generation will have mingled with the dust and be remembered not"

TIE movement for a separate kingdom is gaining ground in Ireland Large meetings in its favor have been held in all parts of the island, and an address to the Queen of Eng land asking for separate Irish Parliament and the privilege of self government, has ob- tained over twenty thousand signatures. The late stand taken by the British Government in favor of the right of the people of Sardinia and of Italy and Sicily to select their own rulers and their own government, isused with great force in support of their demand by the people of Ireland.

IN Petersburg, Va., afew days since, while little darkey was passing over courtyard paved with brick, he felt the bricks giving way under his feet Terrified half to death he plunged toward his masters house, think ing an earthquake was after him, and, alarm ing the house. it was discovered that space of five feet in diameter had disappeared in the pavement, leaving a deep, dismal-looking abyss. The occurrence showed that a DOT tion of Virginia was bound to secede, and wanted to take the peculiar institution" ," in the shape of little nigger, with it.

These daughters married, one after another with the consent of their father, The first married a gentleman of the name of Poor the second Nr. Little; the third a llr. Short; the fourth Mir. Brown; the fifth a 5Tr. Hogg At the wedding of the latter, her sisters with their husbands were present.

WoyEN.-All the influence which women enjoy in society-their right to the exercise of that maternal care which forms the first and most indelible specie of education; the wholesome and mitigating restraint which they possess over the passions of mankind their power of protecting us when young and cheering us when old,-depend so entirely upon their personal purity, and the charm which it casts around them, that to insinuate doubt of its real value IS wilfully to remove the broadest cornerstone on which civil society rests, with all its benefits, and with all its com forts.

WASHINGTON AS AN AGRICULTURIsT.- We copy from Washington's Poetical Lega- cies, to which is annexed an appendix, con- taining an account of his illness, death. etc., published in Boston, 1900, the following:
 Col. Washington was one of the greatest landholders in North America; his estate at Mount Vernon was computed in l787 to con- sist of nine thousand acres, under his own management and cultivation; he had, like wise, various other large tracts of land in other parts of the State his annual receipts from his estates amounting in l776, to four thousand pounds sterling, and 1t was then be- lieyed would have sold for upwards Of one hundred and sixty thousand pounds sterling, which is equal to S666 ,G00 What his reye- -nue was recently. we do not know, but there can be little presumption in supposing it was much increased under his prudential guidance and practical economy He allotted part oi the Saturday in each week to receive the re- ports of his oyerseers, which were registered progressively, to enable him to camparc the labor with the produce of each particular part, and 1t Is affirmed that this weekly retro spect was duly considered by the great man during the stormy movements of the Revolu- tionary war, and his presidency of the Uni ted States He raised in one year seven thou sand bushels of corn on his Mount Vernon estates in a succeeding year he raised tive hundred lambs. sowed twentv-seyen bushels of fax-seed, and planted seven hundred bush els of potatoes; at the same time his domes- ties manufactured linen and wo9lcn cloth en- ough for his numerous household which amounted to nearly 9 thousand persons With him regularity and industry were the order of each day, and the consequent reflection made them alI happy. Though agriculture was pursued by him with such undeviatngat- tention, he used 1t rather as the means of hi, pleasure, than the end of his wishes, which concentrated in the labor to improve the we'll being of his felow-cjtizen8; and 10 effect this he desisted from planting tobacco to em- ploy himself in the introduction and fostering such articles of vegetation as might ultimate ly tend to a national advantage"

THE E1NDERER'S RETURN.
le day was gone, and the night was dark,

The day was gone, and the night was dark, As the bowling winds went by, And the blinding slcet fell thick and fast
 From a stern and stormy sky. When a momnfd vail, through the rushing gale Was heard at the cottage door Oh carry me bacz-oh! carry me back
 To my mothers home, once more. Twas youth who had left his mountain Lome He had wandered far and long; He had drain'd the goblets fiery tide,
 At the festal midnight throng: But dream of home came OCT his heart,
 As he crept to the cottage door Oh. carry me back-oh. carry me back
 To my mothers home, once more. I have left the hall of the temptor's power
 And the reyel wild and high They cared not in their reckless mirth
 If i wandered alone to die. Doth the fire still burn on the household hearth, By the elm-tree old and hoar? Oh! carry me back-oh. carry me back
 To my mothers house, once more. Like the weary bird that has wander'd long,
 will seek my mountain nest, And lay this aching head once more,
 On my gentle mothers breast. Once more will l seek the household hearth,
 By the elm-tree, old and hoar- Oh! carry me back-oh. carry me back
 To my mothers home once more.

MAKE THE PRESIDE PLEAsANT.-My friend, do you want to make home delightful to the young folks? Then don come creep ing from your business, with all the day s cares and trials hanging like forty mill-stones, about your neck? Leave them in their prop CT place, Come smiling to your frcsidc. as if you expected to enjoy yourself, and wanted the rest of ' the folks to do the same thing If pleasant circumstance has come under your observation keep it for discussion at your fresidc; if a smile-waking thought has occurred to you, divide it with the home circle Don't shrug up your shoulders and draw down your mouth if a few young people " happen in to see your juyeniles Don't complain about the noise they make, You were young yourself once, and if you go to work to help them have good time, our word for it, the noise will soon cease to annoy you The world has a very rgidizing influence on
 its disciples, and if you don't take the even ings to unbend in, you will become an abso- lute automation. Forget, once in a while that fife is not all sunshine-forgct your cares, and they will diminish in proportion. There never was day so dark but that a happy home evening could gid its shadows Make your freside something, for all to look forward to, and think about-makc it a rest ing-place-and you may depend upon it, life will be pleasanter affair to you,

NUMBER OF DEATHS IN A YEAR-It ie generally supposed that this earth is inhabited by one thousand millions of human beings, or thereabouts, and that thirty-three years make a generation; and that therefore in thirty three years die one thousand million. Thus the number on earth amounts to
 Each year thirty millions;
 Each day eighty-six thousand;
 Each hour thirty-six hundred;
 Each minute sixty;
 Each second ONE.
 This calculation must necessarily strike us If the mortality be so great every year and every hour, it is not probable that he who re- fleets on 1t may himself be one of those soon to swell the list of the dead It is at least certain that 1t ought to lead us to think seri ously and often on this subject. Now, at this moment, one of our fellow-creatures is going out of the world, and before another hour is past, more than three thousand souls will have entered into an eternal state.
