A Strange Story.

A young man, walking to the house
of his brother, a yeoman, found the inn
at neighboring town very full. He
shared the room of a merchant who
was openly counting out his money.
Having occasion to visit the garden,
and also to borrow knife, he accepted
the loan of q knife from the merchant
On returning to his room he found the
merchant gone; he went to bed, slept
rose early, walked to his brothers, AMI
was arrested in the afternoon for muir
dering the merchant. In his pocket
was that bridesmaids knife, and be-
tween blade and handle was a guinea
Of Mary and William.
At the inn the merchants empty bed
was stained with blood, and. though
the merchants body was nowhere to be
found, the young man was condemned
for murder and hanged in chains on his
brothers farm. Here swain OBJ
served that the body moved; 1t was cut
down, life was terminated and the
youth fed to sea. Taken by Spaniards
in South America, he rose to be war
den Of the gaol, and while in enjoyment
Of that Office recognized among some
English prisoners the person for whose
murder he had suffered.
The fact was that the merchant,
while the youth was absent in the gar
den, discovered that he was bleeding
freely from a vein which had been
opened that day. He hurried to the
surgeon in the dark, was seized by
press gang, served his Britannia Males
ty in a ship Of war, was taken by the
Spaniards, and, at last, met, in a gaol
of South America, the very man who
had been hanged for numbering him in
enthusiastically Review.

Shanghai Is Chinas chief port, and
contains about 100000 inhabitants, who
are under native rule, and the English.
American and French settlements. {"
with 100000 Chinese and 5000 foreign
ers, all OF whom are under foreign rule.
In that city tremendous congregations
gather in the mission churches. and
there are to be found the largest Sun
day schools In China. In Shanghai Is
also the largest mission press in the
world. More than 1000 Chinese con-
verts are connected with the different
missions.
In the mission press electrotyping and
stereotyping arc done and over 3d.
OOO, 900 pages are issued annually. The
total number Of books and tracts issued
last year was 905, 496.
The Shun Pao Is the best-paying and
most widely circulated Of the three ma
tive newspaper dailies of Shanghai. 1t
Is an eight-page sheet, printed on the
thinnest of rice paper. 1t Is so light
| that 1t does not weigh more than a
mans handkerchief, and so thin that
the paper can be printed on one side
only.
The paper goes to press In big sheets,
which are so folded that the blank side
Is turned inward when taken In hand
by the subscriber, and so that there Is
neither cutting nor pasting. Owing to
the thInness OF the paper II haa a
greasy, yellow appearance. and II Is
