CHISA.-China is described as a country where
the roses have no fragrance and the women no pet
tjcoats: where the laborer has no Sabbath and the
magistrate no of honor; where the roads have
no vehicles and the ships no keels; where old men
fly kites; where the needle points to the SOUTH and
des on the heels; where the place of honor is on
the left hand, and the seat Of intellect is in the
stomach; where to take off your hat is an insolent
gesture and to wear white garments is TO put your
self in mourning; which has literature without an
alphabet and language without grammar.
