A TomnIe 10 LIternture.

In her recently published "Year In China"
Mrs. II. Dwight Williams gives this account of
temples in that country dedicated to literature
and 10 war
GAS we passed on in the midst OF these sur
rOundings, we finally entered one Of the gates Of
the old city, and threading long street occupied
by stone-Cutters, reached a Confucian temple,
sacred to the Goddess of Literature. The IDOLS
of this temple consist Of simple tablets dedicated
TO Confucus, and other sages. Highly orna-
mented ones, also, of very large size, and
brilliantly painted-haying been presented
to the temple by different emperOrs-were
suspended above those of the sages.
No tablet of the latter-not even that
of COnfucius-can receive equal honor and
alteration with that Of the Emperor. At each side
of these, on tables or small affairs were arranged
smaller tablets of the disciples of Confucus. The
handsome roof of this temple-which had the
appearance of being groined-was painted in a
dark rich brown and deep red, reminding us of
