A Maiden's Love.

Human nature has no essence more
pure-the world knows nothing more
chaste-heaven has endowed the mortal
heart with none holier, than the nascent
affection of young virgins soul. The
warmest language of the sunny south IS
too cold to shadow forth even faint
outline of the enthusiastic sentiment.
And Providence has made the richest
language poor in the same respect, be-
cause the depths of hearts that thrill
with loves emotions are too sacred for
the common contemplation. The musi-
cal voice of love stirs the source of the
sweetest thoughts within the human
breast, and steals into the profound
recesses of the soul, touching chords
which never vibrated before, and calling
into gentle companionship delicious
hopes, till then unknown. Yes, the
light of young maiden's first love
breaks dimly but beautifully upon her,
as the silver luster of a star glirnmers
through a thickly woven bower; and 1.-the
first blush that mantles her cheek, as she
feels the primal influence, is faint and
pure as that which rose leaf might cast
upon marble. But how rapidly does
that light grow stronger, and that flush
deeper, until the powerful effulgencies
of the one irradiates every corner Of
her heart, and the crimson glow of the
other suffuses every feature of her coun-
tanance

woman how many children she has, she
will give you only the number Of boys.
She has to be asked the second time how
many girls she has, as they are thought
so little of that in many cases they are
killed as soon as they are born. A large
footed woman told me once that her first
child was a little girl, and she described
to me how she loved the little one. MY
husband went out, she said, and
brought in a tub of water. | begged
him to spare its life, but he took the lit
tie one and put its head in the water
and held it there until it was dead
Her second babe was daughter, and It
was served the same as the first; the
third child was boy; he lived until he
was about four years old, then the gods
got angry and killed him; then my
husband died; and now if eat anything
nice and If wear good clothes, my rela-
tives become angry and treat me harsh
ly." Even in our Christian churches in
China, the women are not allowed in the
same room with the men, but are parti-
toned off in a lattice work-room.

The southern planting Interest.

From N. Y. Shipping and Commercial List ]
Cotton planting at the South seems to
have progressed on the whole favorably;
and Notwithstanding the low price Of the
staple, it is quite probable that not far
from an average area viii be devoted to
the plant. There are complaints from
some sections with regard to the inade-
quate supply of labor, but the results Of
last years operations lead to the conclu-
sion that this labor difficulty is exag-
gerated. The want of the South at this
time does not appear TO be so much an
increase of laborers, as patient, intelli-
gent skill to utilize and direct those
already at its disposal-laborers suited
to the climate and accustomed to every
kind of work the country affords. When
supplies are needed from other sources,
as they may be in the near future of re-
newed prosperity to which the whole
country looks forward, it viii not be diff
cult to obtain them in the ordinary chan
nels of European immigration.
To this end the establishment Of indie
pendent lines of steamships between.

yet engaged attention. The division of
large landed estates, and the setting
apart Of suitable portions for the benefit
of those who are able to buy and dis
posed to cultivate them, is another ex-
cellent means to the end of attracting q
good class Of laborers. In word, the
cultivation of good feeling and harmony
of interests between those whose fortunes
have been cast together upon the favored
soil, and the introduction of intelligent
and selfrespeeting labor as fast as the
field requires it, will-speedily and salts
faetorily solve the labor question. It
looks now as though the price Of cotton
had about touched bottom for the pres
ent, and with increased consumption,
consequent upon low prices, and de-
crease of India cotton, a reaction is by
no means improbable.

Had His match.

A youg attorney, with huge bundle
of papers in hand, appeared for the first
time in Judge j. S court in st, Louis, to
make the annual settlement of some
estate. Handing the papers to the
Judge, he very modestly explained his
business to him. His homer examined
the papers, and then showing them an
grily aside, and looking the young hope
full almost through, exclaimed:
"Sir, do you take me for a fool2"
"Well," replied the lawyer, this is
the first time have had the pleasure of
seeing your honor, and therefore | can
not say from my own knowledge whether
you are a fool or not.
His honor was somewhat taken aback
by being thus bearded, and SO said, in a
milder tone, "Do you take the Legisla-
ture of the State of Missouri for fools,
then, sir2 " .e.
"Well, as to that" was the rejoinder,
IL know nothing personally about any
of them, your honor; but, from what l
can see and hear, am disposed to be-
lieve them not a whit wiser than they
ought to be, and, perhaps, your honor,
that is your case, too. )" The old judge
had met his match, was vanquished, and
yielded meekly as lamb to his victor.

Chinese women.

A Mrs. Ba ldxin, missionary to China,
in a recent lie cture in Philadelphia, had
something to say of the Chinese women,
which will be curious reading to Ameri-
can Christian women She SAID;
The women of China are divided into
two classes-the bound-footed, who are
the ladies, and the large-footed, who are
the common class. The latter carry the
burdens. do all the drudging and out
door work. while their husbands do moth
ing. When little girl is born, the pa
rents think the gods are angry with them,
and they hold a consultation whether
she shall live or not. If she is, when she
arrives at the age of four years another
eonsultationis held whether she shall be
a bound-footed or large-footed woman
If she is chosen to be a bound-footed,
she is not permitted to do anything; bat,
If otherwise, she has to be the family S
slave. / have seen woman with four
children strapped to her back and row
ING a boat, while her husband laid
in the cabin smoking his pipe. Girls
have no choice Of their husbands;
the young girl is sold by her
parents at the highest price they can OBJ
tain for her. She never sees her hus-
band. nor he her, until after they are
married. If he chooses he can be di-
vorced from her for talking too much; if
he becomes poor, or gets tired of her, he
sells her again. In the coldest weather
the large-footed women are not allowed
to wear stockings, and cannot dress in
any other colors than black or blue. The
manner in which they make their feet
small is by binding the four toes under
the foot, which they keep bound up for
eleven years, when the foot becomes
dead. 1 have walked through the streets
when the women would brush against
my dress so as TO see my feet, so they
could tell to what class l belonged. /
would say to them, i viii show you my
feet. but do not pull my clothes, as it is
rude" When / would expose my feet to
them they would exclaim: Why, have
YOU no real ladies in America2" And
the only way that could make them be-
lieye that we had was by telling them
that the women read books like the
men. which utterly asteunded them, as
the real Chinese lady is brought up in
the utmost ignorance, and they only
marry in the rich families, because they
know and do so little, and need so much
waiting upon that it takes rich husband
to support them. II yop ask Chinese
