BEAUTIFUL ExrRAoT-When the summer
of youth is slowly wasting away into the
nightfall Of age, and the shadows of past years
grow deeper, as if life were on its close, it is
pleasant to look back through the vista of
time, upon sorrows and felicities of other years.
If we have home to shelter and hearts to
rejoice with us, and friends have been gathered
by our firesides, then the rough places of our
wayfaring will have been worn and smoothed
away in the twilight of life, when the sunny
spots we have passed through will grow
brighter and more beautiful. Happy indeed
are those whose intercourse with the world has
not changed the tone of their holier feeling, or
broken those musical chords of the heart
whose vibrations are SO melodious, so touching
in the evening of age.

Riches of a Chinese Palace.

The plunder at the Summer Palace has
been almost without parallel in modern history
Gould everything have been removed, $780,
OO0,C00 is not above truth You may judge
by the following description, which | CLEAN
from good sources The palace, Summer resi-
dence,) which covers as much ground as the
whole city Of Pekin itself, had stores, where
for ages, valuable stones, pearls, apis azuli
and many European goods, had been slowed
and heaped The silk rooms alone have been
estimated TO contain stuffs valued at $5OOOO,-
600. The jewels, watches, China ware, porce-
lains, etc. etc, were countless. Silk was so
abundant that seats and carts were covered
with it. 1t was trampled over like gravel
Soldiers used it to tie bundles and for harness
to horses and mules. The burning of every
thing lasted six days, and every store was des-
troyed not a particle is left but cinders and
ashes. The parks gardens and lakes that had
created such general admiration, are no more.
No pen can give an idea of the artificial labor
which had made this Palace one of the Won
ders Of the world, and perhaps the greatest in
China. No estimation can be made of the
real value of the building and gardens-the
work of ages; but the movable goods have
been estimated as l have said, at about two
hundred millions of dollars. The throne which
could not be removed was a wonder of rich
ness. The heavy and beautiful bronze vases
weighing some 100 tons. The sculptures
(marble) were of the greatest and finest taste.
l have heard so many descriptions from vari-
GUS and authentic sources, which all agree,
Chat l cannot doubt the truth. The highest
officers in the army, whom know all we'll
above all, the staff and aids-de e-camp-have all
the same apinion about the Yuen-ming- Y uen,
which the Emperor had the fatal idea to
abandon. If he had signed the Treaty at
Tientsin, be would have spared many, many
millions-and bis honor also.
