A Chinese, who had been disappointed in
marriage, and had grievousfy suffered through
women in many other ways, retired with his
infant son to the peaks of the mountain range
in Kweichoo, to a spot quite inaccessible to
little-footed Chinese women. He trained the
~boy to worship the gods and stand in awe and
adherence of the devils; but he never men
toned women to him, always descending the
mountain alone to buy food. At length, how
ever, the infirmities of age compelled him to
take the young man with him to carry the
heavy bag of rice. As they were leaving the
market town together, the son suddenly Stop
ped short, and, pointing to three approaching
objects, cried, 'Father, what are these things !?
Lookl look! what are they?"
The father hastily answered with the per-
emptory order, "rurn away your head; they
are devilsp
The son, in some alarm, turned away, no.
ticing that the evil things were gazing at him
with surprise from behind their fans. He
walked to the mountain top in silence, ate no
supper, and from that day lost his appetite
and was afflicted with melancholy. For some
time his puzzled and anxious parent could get
no satisfactory answer to his inquiries; but
at length the young man burst out, CRYING
with inexp.icable pain, "Oh, father, that tall

HAWTHORNE AND THE LITTLE "BossIE. -
A ride to Brighton yesterday morning, it be-
ing the day of the weekly cattle fair William
Allen and myself went in wagon, carrying a
calf to be sold at the fair. The calf had not
had his breakfast, and his mother had preced-
ed him to Brighton, and he kept expressing
his hunger and discomfort by loud, sonorous
baas, especially when we passed any cattle in
the fields or in the road. The cows, grazing
within hearing, expressed great interest, and
some of them came galloping to the roadside
to behold the calf. Little children, also. on
their way to school, stopped to laugh and
point at poor Bessie. He was prettily be-
haved urchin, and kept thrusting his hairy
muzzle between William and myself, appar-
emily wishing to be stroked and patted. 1t
was an ugly thought that his confidence in hui
man nature and nature in general, was to be
so i'll rewarded as by cutting his throat, and
selling him in quarters.-Notes from Ha,o-

MISCELLANY.
Burial of the Ridgeway Dead.

lFrom the Toronto Globe June 6th.l
Not alone Toronto, but the whole Upper
Province paid reverence yesterday to the brave
men who died on Lime Ridge We have re-
ports from several towns that bells tolled and
business closed during the hours EMPLOYED IN
burying the honor ed dead. But Toronto, their
home, the place of birth OF most of them.
where all were educated, the place which they
lett short five days ago in health and strength
amidst the plaudi IS OF the people, the place to
which doubtless their thoughts turned in their
last moments-it well behooved our city to
pay honor to those who died in its defence,
and fitting honors were paid. The time for
preparation was short, and few and simple
were the ceremonies ofthe occasion. The trib-
ute was paid, not with noddng plumes or Or
namented catafalques, but with the deep-felt
sorrow, sympathy and admiration of whole
people. Though the weather was specially
unfavorable, the funeral was of immense ex
tent. But that formed but a small portion of
the scene. The streets were lined with solemn
gazers as the funeral car passed by. Every
window was occupied; all business was sus.
pended; the whole city, distracted as it was
by the excitement of the time, was given I'M
to grief. Tears from the heart were shed. and
prayers went up to Heaven that the mourning
relatives might be comforted and consoIed.
We have buried our dead, but the lesson
"'hSn onOy nave taught US III their fail, Will
live long after all who were present at the GER
emonies of yesterday have followed them to
the tomb. tits lesson of devotion to coun-
try, which, when deeply learned bya people,
produces glorious results. Our brave fellows
died to save our country from being overrun
by horde OF robbers; but beyond that to pre-
serve to us institutions and laws, attachments
and sympathies, hopes and aspirations, all in
fact that is dear apart from family ties, to an
intelligent population. On their tombs the peo-
pie Of Canada will record anew their deterni
nation to yield no jot or little of their birth
rights, to hold fast the tie on the motherland
which distinguishes them, and proudly distin-
cuisines them from the other nations of this
continent. Behind the mask of sympathy for
Irish wrongs, there turks desire to force this
country into political connection with their
neighbors by means Of border troubles. If any
one else should ever be tempted TO Weld to
such pressure, the recollection of the men
who fell on Lime Ridge will Danish forever
the despicable thought. The autotomy OF Brit
ish America, its independence of all control
save that to which its people willingly submit, is
cemented by the blood shed in battle on the
End of June.
