John King, the newsboy, who re-
Gently gave $500 books to the Gin
cinnati public library, is thirty mine
years old and has been cripple since
his seventeenth year. He says he
will never stop buying books so long
as there are cheap book stalls, but
hereafter he will buy with more dis
elimination. He will give all he buys
to the same library. Some million
aire might very well profit by the
example set by this poor cripple.

The Clinton Watchmaa says: "We
regret to state that on Sunday night
last, while the Rev. Jas. A. Godfrey
was engaged in preaching at Pine
Grove church, some adroit thief ran
sacked his buggy and went through
his valise, abducting therefrom his
best wearing apparel, save only a
pair Of slippers. It is written thou
shall not steal And again it is writ
ten that we shall watch as well as
pray" The Watchman should have
advised our reverend friend of these
facts before the theft happened.

The committee on general provi-

for State Capital--that is, a majority
Of them. A minority report, favoring
New Orleans, was rendered, signed
by three members of the committee.
We can't help but admire the grit of

us like "wasting fragrance on the

while she was lounging in the Union

her yawn. Gazing in affected horror

Unless he can make a better article

4 rIRGINIAN'S TOAST.

In pretty lays of sweetend phrase
The poets sing their sonDets,
In tender words and thrilling cords,
OF maids in rural bonncts.
They sing ofeyea like summer skies,
OF faces fair as daisies,
Of looks demure and thoughts all pure
In never ending praises.
They sing, of truth, of raptnring youth
And guileless arts and graccs,
OF dimples coy, where Venus boy
Hides in their radiant faces.
They thrill and flush and publish gush
About their maids and misses,
OF Mollies eyes and low replies
And Mildred's darling kisses.
But let them boast; my fav'ritp toast
liz neither maid nor matron,'
No finger tips, nor crimson lips
Shall be my muses. patron.
In age mature. the poet Moore
Said, days so spent in wooing,
"The light that lies, in wonlan's cyes'
Had been his "hcart's undoing."
Then here's % toast of royal boast,
Nor eyes, nor hair, nor dew-lips,
Can bosom fill, nor pulses thrill
Like ice-cold, whiskey julcps!

"A AOHANGE CAME DER THE SPIRIT
OF MY DREAMS"

During the past fortnight, the glar-
ing change that had taken place in
the habits, manners ard mood Of one
of our most intimate, friends, had
given us much concern and anxiety.
He, who was once so gay, SO talkative
and sociable, had suddenly become
morose and retiring; the haunts that
he once rendered mirthful by his jo-
vial expressions and witticisms, knew
him no more. lie no longer sought
the refining and entrarcing influences
Of that sex that he loved 80 well--he
absolutely Stunned it. Already had
we begun to apprehend u suicide.
TO prevent so fearful termination
we set forth to the arduous task of
finding out the cause of all this
trouble; acting under that theory Of
the French writer who says that
"when q crime IL committed, one
must look for the woman," We did
look around and found her. She is q
handsome brunette, tall and graceful,
with eyes as bright and piercing as
those of the gazelle she it was, whose
treacherous glances and smiles had
onslaved the heart Of our friend; she
had excited fond hopes Of blissful
future enclOuded and undimmcd-m-
diant with Loves brightest light.
Alas, twas but a castle in the air; he
was betrayed, deceived!
We endeavored to condole, to rea-
son with our friend I've urged that it
was but an episode Of every day life.
He acknowledged that it were but too
true; he could nothowever, overcome
his dismay, his heart sufierings; he
would ever remain unconsolable. We
knew not what to do; there stood u
splendid specimen Of manly strength
and beauty, % cherolicr sans peur ct
sans 'eproche, wrecked in his aspira-
tions. The poetry Of his nature was
destroyed; he could not adapt him
self to those things that are but ma
terial!
Ha! the reaction came ut last. Yes
tcrday evening when he called to see
him, we found Richard himself again
we were greeted with the "slnile of
old He was gi,y, he was happy
Had he just received q letter from
herr No, he had not heard from her;
by one supreme effort, the greatest
effort of his life, he had rescued, extri-
Gated his heart from around the i'm
age of the lovely deceiver. 1t was
soon explained, upon reading the fol-
lowing stanzas, while we were wend-
ing our way to Hawkins. Here they

E0.HEN IN CHINA.

The condition Of women in China is most
kinds of misery and degradation seize on her
in her cradle, and accompany her pitilessly to
her tomb Her very birth is commonly re-
sarded as a humiliation and disgrace to the
family--an evident sign of the malediction of
Heaven. If she is not Immediately suffocated
she is looked upon and treated as a creature
intrnsieally despicable, and scarcely belong
ing to the human race. This appears so in
contestable fact, that Pan-houpan, ceebrat
cd, though woman, among Chinese writers,
endeavors in her works to bumiliate her own
sex by reminding them constantly of the in
ferior rank they occupy in creation. When
son is born, she says, she sleeps on bed,
he is clothed with silk, and plays with pearls :
every one attends to his princely cries. But
when girl is born she sleeps upon the ground,
is meanly wrapped up in cloth, plays with a
tile, and is incapable Of acting either virtuous-
ly or vciously. She has nothing to think of
but preparing food, making wine, and not
vexing her parents" Even after marriage
her case is not improved. According to ex-
ly married wife should be but a shadow and
an echo in the house." She has no right to
take her meals with her husband nay nor
even with her male children her duty is to
serve them at table, to stand by them in ST.
lence, help them to eat and drink, and light
their pipes. She must eat alone, and after
they have done, and in corner; her food is
scanty and coarse, and she would not dare to
touch even what is left by her own sons. 1t
may be thought that this does not well agree
with the much talked of principles of tilial pi-
ETY. but it must not DO forgotten that in
China woman counts for nothing the law ig-
nores her existence, or notices her merely to
bad her with letters, to complete her servi
tudc and to confirm her legal incapacity.-
Polygamy is allowed and the heartrending
jealousy and quarrels that thence ensue lead
to numerous suicides.
