A CHINEsE ROMANCE.

People complain good deal Of the SEN
sational character of English novels.
But the widest plots given in these do
not equal the every day occurrences Of
Chinese domestic life. We know, for
iusts that young ladies who are
crossed in love do sometimes die of .
broken heart, But we don't exactly
find in the London Gszette-which 10
precisely the same sort Of paper as the
Pskin Gszette--the sort Of notice which
sollows:
"Jsnuary 81. His Majesty directs the
proper board to bestow the usual mark
of Imperial favor on the daughter Of q
man in Pekin named Ho En- Tsao, who,
hearing of nhe death of her betroth-
cd, vowed etern al celibscy, took poison
and died" do not know If that sort

on China deny that Chinese ever feel
the sentiment of love as we define it,
However that may be, there ere Chi
nese examples of faithtuluess which are
not often parallel amongst ourselv IS
of MIR. Balfour's authority. Some years
ago ut Pulling q young girl Of good fam
lily was betrothed to youth OF the name
of Chso, who died shortly before the day
appointed for the espousals. The be
reaved bride WAS inc0nsolable, and on.
treated her parents to allow her to visit
the coffin of her lost love. This request
was refused on the ground ofpropriety !;
but the girl, breaking all bounds, ran
away to the house of mourning, and
throwing herself on the floor beside the
CORPSE, howled in a most determined
manner. All attempts to pacify her
were useless, and she insisted, moreover
on taking up her abode with that of the
dead lads parents from that time for
ward, aud devoting herself to them
until their death. This was very heroic;
of course, but it seems that the old
people would rather have been without
her. However, she would take no
denial, and absolutely did stay and earn
enough to pay for her own keep, and to
contribute towards the other expenses
for about Eve years. Then the old couple
died and this virtuous maiden, having
honored them then with burial, pre-.
pared for her own doom
About this time political matters
we're in very unsettled state, and it
was rumored in the neighborhood that
the Tapping rebels were approaching
fast. The excuses of the insurgents
were of course we'll known and dreaded,
and the girl was fully aware that if they
reached the place while she was alive,
her unprotected situation would expose
her to the loss of liberty and every
thing else that she possessed. The &C.

est clothes, Is though for festivity {;
and then-so goes the story-took o
needle and threaded it with silk, and
sewed her garments securely on to her
flesh. This done, she drank poison and
died. The very next day the rebels
came; discovering this lovely corpse,
and seeing at a glance the proof Of the
girls purity and honor, they treated her
with the profoundest reverence. So far,
indeed, from robbing her Of a single
jewel, they gave her honorable inter
ment.
