From the london Pal Nall Gazettc.1
There is a well.known Greek story Of
his hand to bang himself, found purse Of
money, which induced him to throw the
rope Away, whereas tho owner Of the purse,
coming back to look fcz his property, and
finding only the rope Instead, straie ehtWay
aaugti himself. A still more curious tale,
rers. Id the uativc city Of Shanghai the
parents ofa young lady lately married, har-
ny fallen into distressed circumstances, ap-
llied to her for assistance, and her husband
allowed her to give them coat for the par.
Pose Of being pawned. The daughter, how
out her husbands knowledge accreted SIC In
the pocket Of the coat. The old man did
not discover this, and took It to pawn
broker, who, noticing tho money On unfold
ing the garment, kept his counsel, snd quI-
city advanced 2 Soon afler the husband
her father, and made 80 much noise about 1t
that the young lady disposed Of herself By
hanging. In Ibis way the news Of the rob-
berry committed By the pawnbEoker became
known to the parents, and the old mother
took the matter 50 much to heart that she
pawnbsoker, getting alarmed On hearing that
bis dishonesty had already caused two
deaths, drowned himself In we'll. This
story Is very characteristic Of the Chinese
feelings IN regard TO Ate, and similar incl
dents not unircquently occur.
Some yells ago, fur instance, IN accom-.
pl!shed young lady at Cantoa, who had
been unfortunately married to Course aud
| stupid husband, was bewailing Ecs fate to q
party Of si,ters atd female cousins, and de.
| clased her intcntion OF committing suicide.
On this, the other young ladies declared
that, since such was married life, they
would die too and so the whole bevy d
