these books. and they are on sale ut The

Oppression, cruslty ami wrong.
And every vice aud human weakness

Both Joy and beauty yields.

Upon thousand fields.
But who will send one little rose
To grace prisoners CELL
Or waste single thought on him

A Chinese solomon.


The Danish Norwegian paper Nordly-
set, New York, publishes this week an
interesting story, very characteristic of
Chinese literature in general 1t is en-
titled "The Stolen Onions"
"A poor man made his living by raising
and selling white onions He was a hard
working man, and his toll brought an ex-
ira fine crop One year, when his field
was particularly rich in large and excel
lent onions, he brought his coU-bed out
into it, that he might sleep at night on
his field and protect his property against
thieves. few nights experience
showed him that no thieves were in the
neighborhood. He therefore gave up
sleeping outdoors, but left his cot-bed be-
hind him as a precaution as he thought.
In the morning he found all his onions
gone. In sorrow and CONSERVATION he
ran to the nearest Justice ana made
known the robbery. The Judge demanded
that he should bring either the thieves or
witnesses. The poor man, unable to do
so, explained that only his cot-bed had
been left; nothing else was there to bear
witness against any thief. The Judge
ordered the cot-bed brought into court.
This was done. AS the cot gave no an
swer to the questions put TO 1t, the Judge
ordered that it be beaten for contempt of
court At this the attendants at court
and spectators began to laugh loudly
Inc merrlmenJ rose TO an uprOar when
the bed went to pieces. The Judge de-
clared all present in contempt and
caused the doors to he closed. He then
sentenced each to pay one pound of onions
and to arrest till payment was made.
Escorted by officers of the court each was
allowed to go out to buy onions with
which to pay his fine, and upon
payment each made an affidavit
where he had bought his
onions. When all had paid their fine, the
poor gardener was called in and requested
by the judge to examine the onions TO de-
termine if he could, if any of them were
from his garden. He declared that I'M
doubtedly most of them came from his
field. AS they nearly all had been bought
from the same dealer, the Judge issued a
warrant for the arrest of that dealer. At
first the thief denied his guilt, but soon
confessed. He was condemned to be
flogged, and all the onions paid as fine
were given to the gardener, who was thus
richly paid for his trouble. The judges
wisdom was recognized everywhere, and
his Judgment was asked for in all impor-
tant cases.
