a Virtue Rewnrd omoe.

If there are in the Chinese newspapers re-
ports Of thefts, murders and misdemeanors,
prisons, fearful executions, and the basiinado,
in the Celestial Empire, there is also the Yir-
tue Reward Office, and its reports are frequent
in the Pekihg Gazens. What manner Of virtue
is rewarded we shall CLEAN from few exam
pies. A petition with a long list Of infiucu-
tial names is sent up to the throne, praying
that monument be erected TO immortalize the
name of the Lady Ho. The Lady 10 had been
married at eighteen, TO Lu Shu-yung. When
he was seized with his last illness the lady.
although occupied every night in secretly
burning incense and offering UP fearful prayers
maintained during the day chcriaTcouiiie-
nance, that the parents might not be overcome
by detection. For months she charged not her
raiment. but devoted herself scdulously to ad
minisiering TO the wants Of her husband; and
finally, as last resource, she cut from her
arm piece of flesh to mix with the medicine. /"
But it was all unavailing; Lu Shu-yung died
Ho tainted several times with grief. "But she
had already resolved not To- outlive her hus
band, and after privately writing to her sister
in law to come and attend upon the two par
ents, already advanced in years, che swallowed
a gold ring, and at the age Of thirty four thus
sacrificed her life" And we should certainly
add our stone to her cairn but for that little
business Of the ring, which, though pretiily
devised and according TO Chinese notions Yir-
tuously done, sounds badly 10 Western ears.
Another lady, by name Wu-chang, is TO have
. memorial arch erected to her for similar
suicidal sacrifice. Her husband having died
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1884-03-26

before one year of marriage, she was dissuaded
from killing herself only by the hope of serY-
ing his parents, which duty she carried out
with truly praiseworthy faithfulness for many
wears, until after their death she declared she
would follow her husband, and refusing all
food, died after seven days. third lady, by
name Wang, residing at Choh Chow, not only
chopped herself on all occasions in The most
frightful manner, but applied burning incense
stick to her arms TO provide cures for her rela-
tons. Under all these overcharged examples
we must not be blind TO the true national vir-
tue of the Chinese, their devotion to parents;
and the ladies who are faithful to cone love in
a life are worthy of all honor; but it troubles
us benighted Westerns to read Of the fair wee
footed creatures burning, starving and cutting
themselves, or even swallowing gold rings.
The Virtue Reward Office has often better work
than this to do; fidelity, flial devotion, the
bravery of soldiers who die in battle, the vir-
tue of women who sacrifice life rather than
honor-these are things to be rewarded with
more than posthumous titles and memorial
arches CdsseH's Family Magazine,
