Life in China.

There is a weI-knOwn Greek story of pen
nlless man " no, going out with a rope IN his
hand TO hang himself, found purse OF money,
which Induced him 20 throw the rope away,
whereas The owner Of the purse, coming back
90 look for his property and finding only the
rope instead, straightway hanged himself
SUI more curious tale OF a similar Kind is
told by the China papers. In the native city
OF Shangbae the parents of a young lady late
ly married, having fallen into distressed cir
eumstances, applied 10 her for assistance, and
her husband allowed her TO give them a coat
FOR the purpose Of being pawned. The daugh-
Ter, however, being anxious 10 render further
Aid without her husbands knowledge, secret
ed sixteen dollars IN the pocket Of the coat
NJ TO n pa wnoroker, who. noticing the none y
on unfolding the garment, kept his counsel,
and quietly advanced two dollars. Soon after
the husband discovered that his wife had
given the sixteen dollars TO her father, and
made so muc en- noise about IL tnat the young
lady disposed OF herself by hanging. In thus
way the news OF the robbery committed oy
the pawnbroksr became kno wn to the parents,
and the old mother took the matter so snuchto
heart that she poisoned herself with opium.
Lastly, the pawn broker, getting alarmed on
hearing That his die honesty had already caused
two deaths. drowned himself in a well This
story is very characteristic of the Chinese
feelings In regard to life, and similar incidents
not nnfreQuentIy occur.
Some years ago, for instance, an accom-
plished young lady at Canton, who had been
unfortunately married TO a coarse ana stupid
SISTERS aid female cousins; and declared her
intention 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 OF them joined hands together,
and walking INTO fish pond, deliberately
drowned themselves.
Again, three men imprisoned in Hong Kong
Jail on a charge OF piracy determined 10 make
away with themselves ratnsr than have the
bother OF a tIlal. At some heigh: in the cell
where they were imprisoned was a small win

they were found III the morning IL would seem

in hanging themselves from the bars by their
