though he did not dislike it, and in mo-

In the wrong bed-horror of horrors

there must be some mistake, and reques-

The Doctor then sent one of the ladies of
the hotel to Mrs. R, and the affair
was explained greatly to her relief, though
she was overwhelmed with confusion at II

Under the escort of the Doctor, she was
conveyed to the "Speneer,' where the
husband was found pacing the corridors,
with frantic mien, and half erazed with
grief at the mysterious disappearance of
his wife, whom he believed had been spiri-

Rome long has hoasled of Caesar,
Who made the ancient Empires shake,
Who never shrunk, though dark the danger,
Who not for death itself would quake.
The world once knew an Alexander,
(Nho sorrowed after all his gnin)
And though he was great commander,
Still sigh'd for foes that might he slain.
And England too, the mighty kingdom.
BOASTS OF IA Wellington OF old;
1t boasts OF Knights, of mighty Sages,
Who fought and hed for England's gold.
And France, this day boasts of Napoleon,

Who bore his flag 50 oft victorious,
Into fur and conquered land.
And Switzerland has one that's greater,
Which il for gold would never sell
'Tis he who bought their blessed freedom

CHINESE LADIEs-Shut up within the
walls they live, nor do their lords give
them much of their society. They never
dine together after the wedding day. The
women live apart from the men of the
the family, and there is nothing of that
sweet social family intercourse which is
the chief delight of home. The ladies
spend their time chiefly in playing cards
and smoking tobacco nor is it the deli
cate cigarette in which they indulge but

stem, and gadestone monthpiece, or else

have seen some very good-looking
faces among them. do not think they
would be at all an ugly race If they were
educated, and allowed the use of their
limbs but there is an expression of va
cancy and cunning, the result of their
position in society, which spoils their
prettiest faces. And then, when you see
the creature, you know it cannot walk,
and that its legs are like the goats.
The Chinese do not seem to place much
reliance upon the virtue of the female sex,
and VIII give you, as an explanation OF
the custom of cramping their feet, that it
prevents them from straying far from
home. The ordinary story which you hear
about their small feet is, that the wife of
one of the emperors was discovered by
her lord near the door of the apartment
of one of the ministers Of state; and when
questioned as to how She came there, she
replied, ''that her large feet had carried
her there against her will;n whereupon
half of each foot was ordered to be cut of,
and she, in order to cover her own dis
grace, introduced the fashion" which has
prevailed ever since. 1t is, think, the
most barbarous of all customs in the world,
and destroys that which is perhaps the
chief beauty of woman-the grace and
poetry of her motion. These wrctchcd
beings hobble and stump along like lame
ducks. They have their toes, except the
great one, turned down, so that they walk
upon the heel and the upper part of the
foot, from the instep to the toe. How any
nation can expect the blessing Of Heaven,
while it thus destroys one of the most
beautiful of its works, l cannot UNDER
stand.-Ho1O aOe got 70 Ptkin.
