Ministers to see in the vigorous ac-
ton of Ii Hung Chang a slight to
the national honour, when hostilities
could hardly be averted. And there
can be no doubt that withthe outbreak
of war between the two great peoples
of the Far East, the opportunity
would be afforded to many to indulge
in schemes and operations for the at
tainment of ambitious ends, or for
securing some equivalent for past
disappointments. The name Of Rus
STA has been used as a sort Of bug
bear in the North Pacific, as else
where !; but her naval power there is
not very formidable, and she would
hardly enter upon any operations
calculated to meet with our disap-
prevail, or to arouse our opposition.
Still, Russia has a very distinct OPT
Mon on the advantages that would
accrue to her from the possession Of
q harbour on the northern coast of
Corea; and that opinion will, Of
course, possess weight, in the final
settlement of the question. The action
of the United States is likely to prove
a greater element of disturbance, for
among Americans the sense of disap-
pointmont at having been Ousted by
the English from the places Of com
mercial supremacy in this quarter is
very strong and keen, The Trea-
ty recently concluded by Oommo-
dore Schufeldt was of little meaning
and Importance, but it must be sup
posed to have given the United States
Government a LOCUS Standj in this mat
ter. Of this they will not be slow to
avail themselves, and as they have
always shown a greater disposition
to act through Japan than through
China, they may seek to interposo
between Ii Hung Chang and his
objects. There is undoubtedly much
room for dangerous complications in
this direction; but if the Chinese will
only send at once a sufficient force
of men and ships, they may settle the
matter to their own satisfaction, as
well as to the benefit of the harmony
Of the rest of the world.

What a Woman Can Do.

AS a wife and mother, woman can
make the fortune and happiness of
her husband and children; and, if
she did nothing else, surely this
would be sufficient destiny. BY her
thrift, prudence, and tact, she can
secure TO her partner and to
herself CONF Otence in old age, no
matter how small their beginning or
how adverse fate may be theirs.
By her cheerfulnesS she can restore
her husbands spirit shaken by the
anxiety of business. By her tender
care she can often restore him to
health, if disease has Overtasked his
powers. BY her counsel and love
she can win him from bad company,
if temptation in an evil hour has led
him astray. By her example, her
precepts, and her SeX's insight INFO
character, she can mould her child
rem, however adverse their DISPOSE
tiOns, in noble men and women.
And, by leading in all things true
and beautiful life, she can refine, ell
evate, and spiritualize all who come
within reach, so that, with others
of her sex emulating and assisting,
she can do more to regenerate the
world than all the statesmen or re-
formers that ever legislated.
She can do much, alaSl perhaps
more, to degrade man if she chooses
to do it. Who can estimate the evil
that woman has the power to do?
AS a wife she can ruin herself by ex-
travagance, folly or want of affection.
She Can make demon or an outcast
of man who might otherwise be-
come good member of society. She
can bring pickering, strife, and dis
cord into what has been a happy
home. She can change the innocent
babes into vile men, and even into
vile women. She can lower the
moral tone Of society itself and
thus pOllute legislation at the spring
head. She can, indeed, become an
instrument of evil instead of an an
gel of good.
Instead Of making flowers of
truthSpurity, beauty, and spiritual
ity spring up in her footsteps, till
the earth smiles with a loneliness
that is almost celestial, she can
transform It to a black and ard |
desert, covered with the scorn of all |
evil passion and swept by the bitter
blast of everlasting death. This is
what women can do for the wrong
as well as for the right. Is her mis- |
sion a little one? Has she no
worthy work, as has become the |
