In China man and wife never walk
together arm-in-arm in public, nor
even side by side, but the wife always
follows her lord at a respectful dis
tance, as the women do among the
American Indians. At social parties
the sexes sit at different tables, occu
py separate rooms, and visit only
among themselves. Strangers of op-
posite sexes are never introduced,
nor do they ever speak to the men un
less relatives or very intimate associ-
ates of the family. There is no such
thing as social life, in our sense of
the word, among the Chinese. And
all their social and domestic theories
and practices are based ON her in
feriority and insignificance. She is
regarded only as a servant and an
underling, and in no sense fit to be a
companion and equal of man. She
feels her inferiority, and in the main
submits cheerfullY to her fate. The
idea of women's rights" has never
entered her mind. So thoroughly is
this feeling of inferiority ingrained
10 her nature that in the only book
ever produced in China by a female
author, the proposition is gravely
stated and deliberately argued and
illustrated, that "women was made
for the same purpose that tiles are
for men to tread upon." They are
astonished to see the freedom and
equslity allowed between the sexes
among Europeans, and argue strenu
onsly against it; and when van
qnished in the argument they reply
with their usual STD ,borness and per-
tinscity: MAY be good for Melican
man; for China man no good.'
Since the coming OF European ladies
into China some of their own women
have begun to entertain some idea
of their rights, and it has now be-
come a proverb among the MIN that
the two most dangerous things that
can be imported into China are
foreign women and foreign gunpow-
der. Yet on the whole the weaker
sex are rather kindly treated, and in
general are net much abused.

Good Advice to a Numerous Class of
People.

The following extract from a recent
financial article in the Cincinnati
Gazette deserves a careful perusal
We commend it to all whom it may
concern, with the hope that they will
read, mark and inwardly digest:
Crops being good, it is confidently
expected that collections will i'm
prove. II payments are not more
prompt than heretofore, debtors will
lind it difficult 10 offer q satisfactory
excuse. 1t won't do to say that
prices are too low and farmers refuse
to sell. People who are not 10 debt
have right to sell their produce or
not; but those who are IN debt to the
store keeper have only one course to
pursue, consisten. with honor, and
that is to sell and pay up old ac-
counts. II this should be done
promptly. it would impart new life
to the business of the country, and
farmers would profit by it quite as
much as anybody else, because it
would cause activity in the produce
markets and stimulate prices.
II general business drags the
produce markets will drag also,
which must affect prices. There is
q great abundance of money in the
country, but it Is stagnsnt and hence
it is practically scarce. II people
who are in debt and have produce on
hand, will sell the latter to an extent
sufficient to pay the former, currency
will be put into circulation, money
will become plenty and business will
be active. Let no one say because
he owes only $50 or 500, that delay
in payment can make no difference
If toe small debts are promptly paid
there will be no difficulty about the
large ones. Until people who owe
small amounts pay up there can be
no revival in business. This is an
importans fact that should not be lost
sight of For example, country
merchant VIII, supplies his neighbors
with groceries, dry goods, and hard
ware He owes three houses in the
city 81 900. He has twenty custom
ers who owe him, each, $50. Ii these
should pay up he would be able TO
discharge his cityindebtedness. The
city merchants have each fifty such
The payment of the 80
bills would therefore wipe out debts
to the amount of $4,000. This
would bring into use money that is
now lying idle, and would enable
banks to loan more money that is
lying idle, aud would enable banks to
to loan more freely to produce mer
chants, thus facilitating the move
ment of the crops and imparting con-
fidence al! around.

WAITING.

Learn to wait-life's hardest lesson.
conned. perchance, through binding tears
While the heart-throbs sadly echo
To the tread of passing years
Learn TO wait-hope's slow fruition;
Faint not, though the way seems long;
There is joy in each condition,
Hearts, though suffering, may grow strong
Constant sunshine, howe'er welcome,
Meier would ripen fruit or flower;
Giant oaks owe alftheir greatness
To the scathing tempeSt's power.
Thus a soul, untouched by sorrow,
Aims not at a higher state:
JOY seeks not a brighter morrow,
Only sad hearts learn TO wait
Human strength aud human greatness,
Spring not from LIES sunny side
Heroes must he more than driftwood
Floating on the wayeiess tide.

when the Sea Give up her Dead.

When sparrows build and the leaves break forth,
My old sorrow wakes and cries,
For know thefeis dawn in the far, far north,
Ard a .>erlet sur doth rise;
Like scarlet fleece the snow-feld spreads,
and the icy founts run free,
And the bergs beg gin to2bow their heads,
And plunge and sail in the sea.
Oh. my lost love, and my sn, my lore,
And my love that loved me so!
Is there never a chink in the world ADORE
Where they listen for words from below?
Nay, Ispoke once, and grieved thee sore
remember sill that said;
And now thou wilt hear me no rore-no more
Till the sea gives up her dead.
Thou didst set thy foot on the ship and GAIL
To the ice-fieIds and the snow;
Thou vert sad, for thy love did nought avail,
And the end could not know.
how could l tell l should love thee to-day,
Whom that day held not dear?
How could know / should lore thee away,
When did not love thee anear?
We shall walk no more through the sodden plain,
With the faded bents o'erspread
We shall stand no more by the seething main,
While the dark wrack drives o'erhead;
We shall part no more in the wind and rain,
Where thy last farewell was said;
But perhaps shall meet thee and know the again
When the sea gives up her dead.

James Bowie and Henry CIay.

Henry Clay, opropos of himself. | think
in some previous letter have told you
that Reverdy married Mary Bowie cou.
sin of James, or "Jeems" Bowie, the in.
ventor of the Bowie knife.
One day Henry Clay, who had arrived
in Frederick. Maryland, by stsge coach
from Wheeling, met Reverdy johnson in
the street.
"Reverdy." he said. II have just had
an extraordinary acquaintance back here
at Cumberland. A man got half my seat
IN the stage coach, little. knotty, freck-
led fellow, and on the next seat we're a
man and his wife, on the third seat cou-
pie Of big men.
We had had no sooner started and got
clear of Cumberland than one of the big
men on the forward seat lit cigar. He
pulled and pulled. till in little while the
stage coach was full Of strong fumes and
the woman grew very sick. She asked
her husband to raise the window, and still
unable to bear the smoke, said she must
lean upon his lap.
The husband leaned over and said to the
"~man:
bv her ss,ife is sick. Please do not smoke

Suddenly the little being at my side
leaned forward, pulled bowie-knite out
of his coat collar, and said to the smoking
giant:
eyes, you damned sonofapussycatonthe-
femalesidel I am James Bowie
Throw away that cigar, or I'll split you
into half apples.''
"The man." concluded Mr.. Clay,
dropped the cigar like an automaton,
and We heard not a word spoken for thirty
