Decadence of the Family.

Society in the West, says the New
York Times, seems to be getting into u
very chaotic condition. The fatal facili-
ty offered by Western laws for Hssoly-
ing matrimonial alliances, is not much xe-
aggerated in the popular legend that on
Indiana and Illinois railroads the trains
stop FIVE minutes for divorces, as they do
in the east for refreshments, is bearing its
natural fruits in the corresponding loose
ming of domestic ties. The children Of
that gentleman whose variable taste led
him, after four divorces, TO return to his
first love and re-marry his original wife,
can scarcely cherish a very lively aiicc-
tion for one another, or n very exalted
respect for their fickle-minded parent.
AS little harmony can be looked for in
shat other Illinois household, whose mas.
ter, after divorcing his wife, has eDgag-
ed her to do housework for himself and
her successor at the paltry pittance of 81
week-a modern Griselda.
If this miserable domestic anarchy in
creases, as it seems To be increasing, we
may prepare to bid adieu to all that is
dearest and holiest in the Eden of home.
The observance of affections which hedge
around and sanctlfy the domestic fireside
will come to he forgotten and dispised
in social order where ONES nearest rcla-
tives change almost with every moon
The family circles will disappear, and so
ciety will recede into cold communism
like that of ancient Sparta, or sensual
one like that of modern Oneida. Already
one may see signs of this moral transi-
ton, not less in the independence of that
young lady in Dubuque, who has recent
ly sued her mother for libel, than in the
Roman virtue of the Ohio farmer, who
has cansed the arrest of his daughter foI
stealing a horse. 1t is not necessary tt
go into such darker evidences of this do
mestic dsintegration as the crime Of that
wretch who at Camden, a day or two
since, signalized hs emancipation from
ordinary social superstition by numbering
his mother. In amy condition of socie
ity, matricide, we are glad TO believe
will be the rarest Of exceptions, but al
these things are straws; the breeze tha
bljws them may presently swell into
| tempest.

A Strange Accumulation.

Thomas Dick puts the boarding of
wealth in this striking way;
Suppose a man could lay up stock of
clothes and provisions sufficient TO last
him for three hundred years, what
would it avail him, since he can live at
most but from seventy to one hundred
years? Suppose he had laid up in
storehouse seventy thousand pairs of
shoes, 10 what end would it serve, if he
could make use, during his whole life, of
only the one-hundredth part of them
He would be in the same condition as
the man who had hundred dishes plac-
ed before him at dinner, but who could
only partake of one; or of person who
his residence, but who could occupy but
one. How ridiculous it would appear if
all that could be said of man while he
lived was simply this-that his whole
life was occupied in collecting and lay
ing up in store house sixty thousand
mahogany chairs which were never i'll.
tended 10 be used for the furniture Of
apartments, or eighty thousand airs of
trowsers, which were never TO be worn =?
And where is the difference In point of
nationality and utility, between such alb
surd practices, and boarding thousands
of guineas and bank notes, which are
never brought forth for the benefit Of
mankind. There is no conduct connect
ed with the pursuits of human beings,
that appears more absurd aud wicked
than such practices (however common),
if examined by the dictates of reason
and the word of God.

Chinese Swludlers at Home.

Sedan-bearers push their way through
the crowd, hawkers scream their wares,
respectable pedestrians edge their way
along as best they can, and shoals of
verni,-covered beggars, in filthy rags
that are an outrage on decency-for the
bridge outside the Cinnamon is the chief
beggars' quarter of Pekin-importune

vancing carts and horses. They know
full well that handsome sums will be
readily paid as ''hush-money" by any
one unfortunate enough to ride or drive
over them, and SO intiict wound for
native law enacts that if any one be killed
by cart, no matter whose fault 1t may
be, the carter shall he beheaded, the
horse destroyed, and the cart burned.
Proportionate penalties are Inflicted for
injuries thus caused, and the beggars
naturally take advantage of law which
has of course rendered furious driving
an unknown offense in Pekin. When
foreigners first took up their residence
in the city, they were much distressed
at the numerous accidents which befell
them in riding over beggars and similar
characters. True, a dollar generally
sufficed to heal the wounds thus caused,
but so many dollars had to be paid that
the tax became serious. Mentioning the
matter incidentally before one of the

sible advice. "Dont give anything to

knocked down, apparently helpless aud
blind, recovered both his sight and the

muster, that his little game was "played

SALT LAKE AND LAKE T4HoE,-Peo-

buoyancy OF the waters of Salt Lake,
and how it is almost impossible to sink
therein. AS a contrast to this may be
mentioned Lake Tahoe, in California, in

themselves fioupdering and only able to
