A CHINESE PRoDIGAI. The Chinese papers
report curious and touching scene which
lately occurred in the Shanghai mixed courts
A dissolute prodgal, having a chain around
his neck, to which his hands were fast, was
brought up by his father. The parent, a
very respectable-looking man, declared he
could make nothing of the prisoner. He
had tried all means to cure him of his pro-
pensity for smoking opium. but without eff
feet If he gave him money it went in opium;
clothes were also pawned to satisfy his crav-
ing. Latterly he had been chained up in a
house to see what effect that would have;
but his appearance on that occasion was be-
cause he had broke out, and had been picked
up by policeman. In fact, the father de-
clared that he would be glad if the Court
would take him in hand and give MIN severe
punishment. The judge advised him to give
his son another trial, aud added that, If after
one punishment he was still incorrigble, Chi
nese law would permit decapitation on ths
consent Of the father.

A couple of Yankee girls put bulfrog in
to the hired mans bed to see if they could
get him to talk. Daniel threw the frog out
of the window and never said word. Soon
after he put bushel Of chestnut burrs into
the girls bed, and about the time he thought
they would make the least shadow, Daniel
went TO their door and ratified the latch fur-
ously. Out went the light, in went the girls;
but they didn't stick, though the burrs did. -
Calling to them begged them to be quiet; he
only wanted to know if they had "seen any
thing of that pesky bullfrog; he'd give two

How TO HAVE CLEAN GARDEN. MIR. Bu-
ren, of Newark, \, j., is noted for having a
clean garden. He says:
Any man who will leave his bed at four
o'clock in the morning, aud go forth with his
hoe, and willingness to work, need never be
disturbed with weeds. have attended to a
business that took the time usually devoted
to the pursuits of life, and still found leisure
for such attention to my garden as kept it
free always from all foul-growth.. OfcOurse,
he is fond of his bed, and the soil is full of
weeds, let him give the garden Sabbath
year of clover. Thus will he kill the tares
that the enemy hath sown, and his garden
come back to onions and lima beans, lettuce,
peas and beets, like good man to his work

'woman's Rights.

GEN. q. HALp1HE.
Oh, ladies, will you hear truth,
OF late too seldom told to you,
Nor deem-he begs 1t of your ruth
The writer over-bold to youl
For, by the pulses of his youth,
He ever'yet was cold to you,
And therefore tits in sober sooth
That he would now unfold to you
What may-apart from rhythmic flights
Be called the sum Of "woman's Rights"
For you the calm sequestred bowers,
For us to kneel and sue TO you
Your feet upon the path of flowers
We struggle still TO strew to you;
For you TO drop the healing showers
hindness-gentle dew to you
On failing health and wasted powers
The task is nothing new to you
oh these, indeed pts Lovo inditcs-
"Thcse are unquestoned woman's Rights"
All hail! we cry, the stortniest hours,
IF thus Joy we WOO to you;
For us, of lifes drugged bowl, the soprs,
If so the sweets ensue to you.
When many heavy hap was ours,
Fond retrospectiton flew 10 you;
Good husbands and unstinted dowers,
And smiling babes accrue to you;
And, let me ask, what maiden Sights
These aforementioned "womans Rights"
The faithfulness, the grace, the high,
Pure thoughts of life we gain by you;
The vision of softer eye,
The finer touch attain by you:
Weak hopes that unto death are nigh
Out.'caning, we sustained by you;
And when misfortune sweeps the sky,
Our anchored hearts remain by you.
Long days of toll and feeyersh nights
Would i'll repay these "Womans Rights"
Why quit the calm and holy hearth
That is heavens antepast to us,
To face the-sterner scenes Of earth,
The troubles that are cast to us!
Why change your souls unsullied mirth
For woes that rush so fast to us,
That we would daily curse our birth,
Were not your sphere at last to u.s.
That sphere of home, which well requites
The loss of these unsexing rlghts'

ENaL1sH COTTON TRADE-The New
York Shipping and Commercial List adds {:
1.-The truth is, the French and German
spinners are depriving England of con-
siderable portion of the trade which she
formerly enjoyed in Continental Europe,
while our own spinners are every year
lessening the American dependence upon
English cotton goods. American manu-
facturers liave learned to make cotton
goods equal in quality to those made in
England, and this advantage our spin
crease. English spinners evidently re-
cognize this fact, and hence the doubts
and fears to which the English journals
are beginning to give expression. The
cotton lords attribute the present diff
culties to the scarcity and high price of
cotton, but the Times view is no doubt
the more correct one"

The New York EtprIsss congratulates
the South upon these evidences of recu-
-peration, enterprise and coming power,
thus:
'When the Sonth has completed all
its needed railroads to the sea-ports, and
has developed even o moiety of its mine
raj wealth. it will prove altogether the
wealthiest part of the agricultural Union.
In cotton lands 1t is without rival in
the world, and in sugar aud rice, in the
production of cattle and corn, it should
occupy the foremost place on the CONT
nent. We repeat, then, that for the
South there are good times ahead, and
we are glad to see so many timely steps
taken to exhibit her wealth and encou-
rage its increase. What has been done
is in despite of Federal interference, po-
litical and military; and without that in
reference, her wealth would be vastly
greater, and her prosperity every way
improved"

tinel has the following: o.
It is now forty years ago or more that
the dead body Of stranger was found
in the woods, near Stonybrook bridge,
about one mile;t to tie East of Penning-
ton, village of this County. The body
was found in a sitting posture, against
beech tree. The face was distorted, the
eyes protruding as though the dead man
had died in agony. His hat lay few
feet from him. His dress denoted one
in comfortable circumstances. He was
stranger, and no one ever remembered to
have seen him. There was no money
upon the corpse. The body, without
special examination, was buried-we for
get where. There were no wounds upon
it,, and no evidence of violence. And
now comes the strange elucidation of the
case A. few days since, an accident
placed in our hands copy of the Man
chester (England) Guardian. In that
number we found the dying confession
OF man named Daniel Hulseman, ac-
knowledgipg to murder perpetrated
forty years ago in the State of New Jer-
u. United States of America. The
murderer was acquainted with his victim
in the old country. and came out about
one year before him. Hulseman was
tanner, and worked in New York When
Eberhart came over he sought out his
old acquaintance. He had about :e2OO
in money. On pretenoe of examining
the country and purchasing land, Hulse-
man started with Eberhart; on a tour
through NewrJ Jersey. He had with him
flask of poisoned brandy. as he had
resolved to murder his friend for his
money. They first stopped at Prince
ton, and then concluded to walk across
the Intervening nine miles to Penning-
ton, the weather being pleasant, and
public travel being greatly circumscribed.
When within mile of the latter place,
they stepped over into the woods, under
q tree, to partake of some victuals they
haq procured before starting. Hulseman
then. passed his flask to his companion,
who drank literally, and died within an
hour thereafter in fearful agony, ;Hulse-
man looking on the while. He! then
robbed him of his money and set him up
against the tree. as before described

TEE NID.S1aHT SUN-The following
is description of the scene witnessed by
DIR. Campbell and his party in the North
of Norway, as they stood on cliff 1000
feet above the sea. The passage is un-
surpassed in graphic beauty:
The ocean stretched far away in silent
vastness, at our feet; the sound of its
waves scarcely reached our airy lookout;
away in the North the huge old sun
swung low along the horizon like the slow
beat of the pendulum in the tall clock of
our grand fathers parlor corner. We all
stood silent looking at our watches.
When both hands came together OF IL
o'clock, midnight, the full round orb
hung triumphantly above the wave-a
bridge of gold running due North span
ned the water between us and him.
There he shone in silent majesty which
knew no setting. We involuntarily took
Oft our hats; no words was said. Com
bine, if you can, the most brilliant SUM-
get nnd sun-rising you ever saw, and its
beauties will be pale before the gorgeous
coloring which now lit up ocean, heaven
and mountain. In half an hour the sun
had. swung up perccptibly on its beat,
the colors changed to those of morning,
q fresh breeze rippled over the flood, one
songster after another piped up in the
grove behind us-we had slid into an
other day.
