A CHINESE cHILDREN,s BOOK.

Every nation appears to have a favor
lite virtue, which it endeaVors to impress
upon the minds Of its children. Turn
over some French books for children,
and you will observe that the moral Of
most of the stories is: Be gentle and po-
lite; be e~onsiderate and ~agreeables

itself in q remarkable manner. during the
late war.
In China. for twenty centuries past,
the great object of moral teaching has
been to inculeate reverence for ances-
tors, devotion to parents and kindness
to brothers and sisters. The popular
stories of China mostly turn upon fam
lily affection. Ii nm: oratou. should wish
to move a Chinese audience to tears, he
could not do, hotter than relate some
affecting Instance of filial piety.
The, most popular lsookfo Chinese
children is a collection of one hundred
and two stories. each illustrated by o

tives of extraordinary devotion to
parents or neal relatives. So much
valued is this work by the amiable peo-
pie OF China ihat many editions.are
published by rnen OF wealth for free

An English missionary, Mr. A. z.

justice to the virtues of a heather peo-
pie. hrs translated a number of these
tales into our language, and thus en-
ablfyd us TO know precisely what the
M orallesson is which parents and teach
ms In China most assiduously teach.
Many of these stories are. obviously in-
credible, but the moral Of them all is
substantially the same.

with female companion and two male
crOnies, encountered a gang of six or
eight who were under the influence of
free Scott law whisky, more OF less.
Several of them assaulted Ray, beat his
head and face with a stone, knocking
out several teeth and using him up bad
ly. Officer Whitnight was the fret to
arrive and first cared for Ray. Officers
ROny, Lehnis, Bachtel and Baughman.

some of them in buggies, to catch and
arrest the rOughs, but failed to find
them. Three men were arrested at Mas
