vast and d'important. 1t may be unsuccessful,
and the hopo it generates, like many Of tho
brightest anticipations We have cherished; may
be disappointed, but it is neither wise nor
phiosophic to cover before tho calamitios by

poor woman, who at once set out for St. Paul.
While at the depot in Chicago she had her
pocket picked of nearly all the money she had,
and when she arrived in this city on Wednes-
day she was in destitute condition.
Yesterday morning she went to the Office Of
Major Tallmadge and told that gentleman her
situation and the desire she felt of at once
proceeding to St Paul, in, hopes that she:
might there lind the object Of her search She
said that she wns here without friend to ap-
ply to, and ns huniliating as it was, there was
no other course left for her.
y slip from the C Charleston Courier" gave
the incident which we have related above
Although older in years than when she was
guilty of the romantic act, and exhibiting ev.
cry trace of sorrow, she still looked beautiful.
and her sincerity of manner, still controlled
by Southern hautcur and pride, spoke the
truth of her assertion. 1t is needless to say
that she was provided with the necessary
means to reach St. Paul; and we trust she
will find her husband, who, if lie has one rem.
nant of humanity left in him, will take care
OF and kindly treat this once proud but devo.
ted and unhappy wife.

But subjects man to power.

From Doolitle's " Life Among the Chinese"
! CHINESE "LTTTE Folks. Here are
some stories told by the Chinese of re-
markable children:
During the Northern Sung dynasty,
which began about 421, and ended
about 40 A. D., there lived little boy
whose name was Moo. At an early age
he was noted for the versatility of his
talents and the tenacity of his memory.
In studying a book, it is said, he needed
only to read it over once, and then he
could repeat it. One day, when he was
four years old, guest remarked in the
hearing of the lad that C Confucius had
no elder brother" Moo instantly re-
piled in the. language of the classic:-
"He took his elder brothers daughter
and gave her away in marriage" thus
proving that Confucius had an elder
brother The whole company greatly
wondered at this extraordinary reply.
In the same dynasty lived little boy
whose name was Kuang. One day,
while playing with a company of chill
dren, one of them happened to fall into
large earthern jar filed with water.
All the other boys except Kuang were
too much frightened to render any as
sistance, and ran away. He, taking a
stone, broke the jar, and saved his play
mates Life by letting the water escape.
Every one who heard the circumstance
admired the boys uncommon wisdom
and presence of mind.
In the same dynasty there lived an
other bright lad, whose name was
Yenfoh. When quite small, he was
once playing ball with some juvenile
companions. The ball lodging in the
deep cavity of a post, all gave it up as
lost except Yenfoh. He took water,
and pouring it into the hole in the post,
the ball foated to the surface.
In the time of the same dynasty lived
man named Wan, who at an early age
was distinguished for his ready wit
When he was only seven years old, his
father was Perfect in the country of
Wei. An eclipse of the sun occurring,
the Perfect informed the Emperor of
the fact. The queen dowager inquired
how much Of the moon was eclipsed.-
The Perfect did not know what to an
swer, when his little son, standing by
his side, suggested to him, " Why not
say the part Of the sun not eelipsed is
as large as the moon in the first of the
month ?"f The old man returned the
indefinite reply thus suggested. greatly
surprised, and wondering at the quick
understanding and ready expression Of
his little son.
