A Chinese Novel.


HERE Is the plot of Chinese novel
called "The Twins" II Is given In re-
cent review of Chinese literature by Jes-
sic e. Ringwalt;
ga husband and wife, after years of
constant pickering, fnally differ serious
ly about the marriage Of their twin
daughters. These lovely girls are as
sweet and charming as the twin blossoms
of the brilliant rose, or the flowers of the
odorous herb bending before the breeze.
"The husband is absolutely determined
to dispose of them according 10 his own
choice, and the wife, with equal obstinacy,
claims the same right. The parents each
select their favorite suitors, and the mar
riage presents, which are an indispensable
preliminary, are brought to the house at
the same moment.
"The irate father drives away with con-
tumely the porters who bear the presents
sent by the suitors chosen by the mother,
and his wife filings aside with contempt
those presented by her husbands faVor-
ites,t
"The debate wakes warmer, and threat
ems to become interminable, and the case
is at length carried before the official WIT

tween parents. The magistrate is pru-
dent and worthy man, who, after listening
carefully to the question at issue, de-
mands that the daughters shall be sum-
moned.
"The young girls are brought and kneel
before the tribunal. The magistrate per-
mits them to remain silent, but orders
them to exhibit their preference by bow
ing either to the right, where the suitors
chosen by the mother are ranged, or to
the left, where stand those selected by the
father.
1.-THE four suitors are equally repulsive
to the girls, and the twins perseveringly
bow their heads, and rest their eyes
steadily upon the floor. The magistrate
approaching the feelings of the daugh'
ters, instantly dismisses all the suitors
and endeavors to negotiate a peace be
tween the belligerents; but, as he fail!
utterly in his pacific intentions, he pro
poses plan of adjustment-the Chinese
specific for the cure of all evils-a com

THE EFFEMNATE MAN.-The effemi-
nate man is weak poultice. He is cross
between q root beer and ginger pop,
with the cork left out of the bottle over
night He is fresh water mermaid found
in cow-pasture with hands filed with
dandelions. He is a teacup full of Sylla.
bub-a kitten in pantalettes-a sick mon
key with a blonde moustache. He is a
vine without any tendrils-a fly drowned
in sweet OLA paper kite in dead calm.
He lives like butterfy-nobody can tell
why. He is as harmless as a cents worth
of spruce gum, and as useless as shirt
button without any button-hole. He is as
lazy as bread pill, and has no more
hope than a last years grasshopper He
goes through life ON tiptoes, and dies like
cologne water split over the ground.-

THE soil for Lima beans should be
richer than for the dwaris, as they are
strong feeders. A shoVelful of rich light
compost mixed with the earth in each hill,
will be the best fertilizer. Sandy or
grayelly soils are much to be preferred,
as clay lands are subject to become hard
and retard their growth. Hills should not
be less than four feet apart each way, as
measure, depend the amount of the crop,
