A RIGHTEOUS MAGISTRATE.

The Chinese for many centuries have
shown want of appreciation of female
infants. When boy was born the fatted
calf was killed. The relatives were called
upon to unite in friendly pow-wow, and
congratulations were poured out by the
friends of the family. But if female
child put in its claim for share of this
worlds misery, the chances were that Miss
Ting-Si would repose quietly at the bot
tom of some river before she was three
days old. This practice of dispatching
female infants prevails to such an extent
to-day in the Sun on district that Kwan,
Magistrate Of that place, has issued a pro-
clamation which is worthy of being pub
lished in full:
From inquiries made since assumed
the Magistracy of this district, 1 have
ascertained that the practice of drowning
female children is very prevalent here;
have, therefore, thought it necessary to
devise means for their protection. With
this view have called a meeting of the
merchants and gentry to confer on the pro-
ject of selecting site to build an asylum.
Since that the merchants and gentry have
had a public meeting among themselves,
and drawn up code of rules for the regu-
lation of the establishment. They have
also subscribed literally in order to carry
this charitable project into effect, and have
asked me to issue a proclamation on the
subject. Besides subscription of $500
from myself, and the subscriptions raised by
the merchants and gentry, have thought
it proper to issue proclamation, inform
ing the soldiery, merchants and others
within the district, that as the nature of
Heaven and the earth is to replenish the
creation, how can parents endure not to
cherish their own offspring? That there
are females as we'll as males born is only
natural to the order of creation. The male
marries, and the female is married; can we
do away with one of the social relations?
Therefore, when daughter is born, we
ought to abide by the will of Heaven. If
we act against the dictates of conscience
to the detriment of justice by the drown
ing of daughters, we are violating the har-
mony ordained by Heaven. Moreover, the
law on the subject is very severe, aud L
hereby give you warning. You poor must
not fall again into the bad habits of Gus
tom, and you rich must contribute accord
ing to the extent of your ability and means
for the support Of the foundlings, SO that
life may be heightened by such good acts,
and your names perpetrated to generations
to come, at the same time giving an exam
one must obey this with trembling, and
trausoress not"

Never, as sure as my name is Tom
Vernon" said Tom silently.
"Well, on those terms. I agree to say
nothing about it, butt was SO rich ~
and Kitty couldn't help laughing till she
cried. ooh, Tom, to think of it ~
Tom declares now that he knew who the
lady in the brown veil was all the time,
but he can't make his wife believe it. She
got the lavender silk, and the transaction
bids fair to be lucky one for her, because
if she wants anything she has only to say:
" Just one ~ and "Silence gives consent ~
and Tom, looking decidedly sheepish, is
sure to come to terms.

We could now see huge oblong mass
moving by jerks just under the surface of
water, and an enormous train following;
the oblong body was at least half the size
of our vessel in length, and just as thick;
the wake or train might have been one
hundred feet long. In the time that l have
taken to write this, the brute struck us,
and the ship quivered under the thud; in
another moment, it's monstrous arms like
trees seized the vessel, and she keeled over;
in another second the monster was aboard,

slashing was of no avail, for the brute,
holding on by his arms, slipped his vast

down with him on her beam ends. We
were thrown into the water at once; and
just as l went over, l caught sight of one
Of the crew, either Bill or Tom Fielding,

ship lay on her beam ends, then filled and
went down. Another of the crew must

Josh Billings Experience in Lager Beer.

] have come to the conclusion that lager
bier as a beverage, is not Intoxicating.
have been told so by German, who
said he had drank all night long, just to
try the experiment, and was obliged to go
home sober in the morning. have seen
this man drink eighteen glasses and if he
was drunk it was in German and nobody
could understand it. 1t is proper enough
to say that man kept larger bier saloon
and had no objects in stating what was not
thus l believe him to the extent of my
ability.
never drank but three glasses of lager
in my life, and that made my head ontwist
as though it was hung on the end of a
string, but l was told 1t was owing to my
bile being out of place, and l guess it was
l got hum that mite. My wife thot 1 was
afraid l shouldn't, for l felt as if every
thing had eaten in my life was coming to
the surface, and ! believe if my wife had
not pulled off my boots just as she did
they would have come laundering up too.
Oh how sick was Fourteen years ago
and can taste it now?
I never had so much experience in so
short time d!
If any man should tell me that lager bier
was not Intoxicating, l should believe him
but if he shud tell me that l was not
drunk that mite, but that my stummuck
was out of order, shud ask him to state,
in few words, jest how man felt and
acted when he was set up.
If was not drunk that mite, had some
of the most natural symptoms a man ever
had and kept sober.
In the first place, it was about eighty
rods from the place where drank the lager
to mi house, and I was Jest two hours
on the road, and a hole was busted through
each ov mi pantaloon ncez, and | didn't
hav any hat, and tried to open the door by
the bell pull, hiccupped awfully, and saw
everything in the room trying to get round
on the back side ov me, and in sitting
down on chair did not wait long enough
for it to get under me, when it was going
round, and set down little too soon and
missed the chair by six inches, and couldn't
get up in season to take the next when it
cum round; and that amt awl, mi wife
said was drunk as beast, and as said
before, l began to spu up things lively.
If lager bier is not Intoxicating, it used
me almighty mean, that knew.
Still hardly think lager bier is intoxi-
eating, for l hav been told so; and am
probably the only man living that ever
drank any when his liver was not plump.
l don't want to say anything agin
harmless beverage, but if ever drink emmy
more it will be with mi hands tied behind
me and mi mouth pried open.
don't think lager bier is intoxicating,
but if l remember rite l think it tastes
to me like glass of soapsuds that a
pickle has been put to soak in.
