HIS LONG VIGIL.
A Chinaman Vows to watch Three Years
by His Mothers Grave.

A Chinaman Vows to Watch Three Years
by His Mothers grave.
A correspondent of a Shanghai Journal
writing from Kiukiang. On the iangtse'
mentions that he has seen a night watch
which ia not often seen in China. Ihis is
a man who has taken a VOW to wascn three
years at his mothers grave. The LADY diea
at the end of last year and was buried. az
usual, on the side OF q n~siehboring hill IN
the family baryinR place. whsn .he ~
son declared tina he would not leave the
grave for three years, and 30 far ne mas
been true to his word.
Ths n~eichbors took il upon themselves to
proyide for his wants, and a subsorlption
list was started. ten pieuls tiao pouhas
tivaa and those who knew him.. Families
take turns in preparing his food and bring,
mo il TO him. Others brought straw ana
roles and made 4 rude hat for him, large
enough 10 contain himself and the grave OF
his mother. The writer saw him when ne
had already been at his ~self-appointeu task
nearly seven months, and says he VIII nos
eoon forget the sight and smell. Around
The hut there were three well-kept graves,
those of his father, brother and wife, ana
inside. that of his mother.
During the three years OF this vigil ne
does not wash himself, the straw upon
which he lies is not removed. he does NOT
change his clothes until the time mas ex-
nirea. he does not come out OF the !lstie
place for any cause whatever: no SPEAKS TO
none. except. perhaps. occasionally,
then only briefly. TO his nearess relAtiyes;
He spends the time muttsring prayers ana
burning incense at the head of the tomp,
ALONG The length of which he is stretched.
The hut is not high enough 10 allow MIN TO
stand upright. and Is orly q rev fees
longer than himself. zone can ialntly
imacine the foulness Of such a
den and the condition OF an unsnorn hu-
man being after such an existence. what ne
will be like at the end of the summer 1 can
not conceive. It does not seem possible
that a man should be able to live through
three years of such horrors-none ous a
Chinaman could do it," II he survives the
three years he will be highly honored, the
officials will go in state and receive Nun
and report the matter TO the throne, ana he
will receive from the emperor's hand a
containing four characters landing
his virtue. He may also receive some
small political prefsrment. and Will thus
provided for. The natives say tnas, al
he is alone on the hillside. among
the graves, no ghosts or devils Will inter,
fsre with him, and poisonous snakes Will
not some near him. Some OF the people
were not quite sure what his motives were;
some said, significantly. that he knew what
was doing-there was not very much to
do, and at the end of three years, lying az
the grave, being fed by his friends. he
would likely enough find a comfortable
support for the rest OF his life.
