　　　　III. A partial eclipse of the moon, July 12th, invisible at Canton, but seen in the South Pacific.

IV. There will be a total eclipse of the sun, July 28, invisible at Canton, but seen throughout North America and Europe. It com- mences in long. 137° 49′ W., and lat. 53° 43′ N.

CHRONOLOGICAL CHARACTERS.

　　　　Or these the Chinese have several classes: the following are the most ancient and most generally used. They consist of two sets of characters, the one of

which, called + Shik kƐn, the "ten stems,' or

* celestial stems,' includes ten characters, viz :-

** Tien kán, the

Ping, 4T Ting, 5 Wú, 6 Kí.

Kwei.

Kiáh, 2 Z Yih, 3

♬

Kang, 8 Sin, 9

Jin, 10

The other set, called

†

Ti chí, terrestial branches,

•

Shik-rk chi, the twelve branches,' and consist of the following twelve characters :-

Tax, 2 #Chau, 3 Yin, 1 Mau, 5

　　　　　　　　　　　† 4 M1 74 Wo, 8*wi,

未 9 Shin, 10

Ya, 11 ♬

Shin, 6

Sz`,

Hái.

Siuh, 12

These characters are applied to years, months, days, and hours, as well as to the points of the compass For chronological purposes they have been combined so as to form a cycle of sixty, as represented on page 3. Kinh, the first of the ten, is joined to isz', the first of the twelve, and rend kiák-19z', which denotes the first year, month, &c. of the cycle. In the same manner yik and chuu, the second of the two sets are united, and so on through the 'ten stems.' Then kiák, the first of the ten, is joined to sink, the 11th of the twelve, and in this manner the conjunction is continued up to sixty, when the tenth of the * stews,' and the twelfth of the ' branches,' coine together, and the cycle recom- niences. The 1st year of Hienfung, which coinmences on the 1st of February 1851, is the 48th of the cycle of years, and is called Sin-h ́i; the first moon of that year is the 27th of the cycle of moons, and is called Kang-yin; and the lat day of the 1st moon is the 25th of the cycle, and is called Wü-tsz".

For hours (and also for the points of the compass) the 'twelve brunches' are used singly. The çivil day of twenty-four hours is divided into twelve periods, of two hours, each called shí shin, which are designated by the characters of the twelve branches, in the following manner :-

11 to 1, or midnight,

1 to 3-4th watch, 3 to 5-5th watch

5 to 7

7 to 9

9 to 11

tsz,

Rat.

chau, Cow.

yin, Tiger.

máu, Rabbit.

11 to 1 or noon, 4 wá, Horse.

1 to 3

3 to 5

5 to 7

7 to 9-1st watch

shin, Dragon.!

sz', Snake.

7 to 11-2d. do.

西

By prefixing to the characters the words Eching and

wi, Sheep.

shin, Monkey

yú, Cock.

siuh, Dog,

hái, Boar.

kiáu, these

twelve periods are divided into twenty-four hours: thus Eching-tsz' denotes midnight or 12 o'clock, and forwards to 1 o'clock; and

kiáu-

tsz', denotes from 11 to 12 o'clock. The shí-shin, or two hour periods, are divided into eight kih or quarters. Ching-máu yih kih E |

signifies a quarter past six in the morning; and kiáu-shin urh kih

denotes half past seven o'clock.

刻

　　　　The night from 7 o'clock in the evening to 5 in the morning is also divided into five kang, or watches, each watch consisting of one shí-shin, or of two hours.

In reference to the compass, Tsz' is the North, Wú the South, Miu the East, and Yu the West; the other eight are intermediate points between these. The *ten stems' and 'twelve branches' are otherwise named after various animals, ' but are made use of in that way chiefly by the Manchus and Mongols.

The following characters, which are the names of the twenty-eight lunar constellations, are likewise employed to designate the days.

These characters are applied in regular order to the days of the month. Four of them (those printed in italks) always mark the Christian Sabbath, while the others designate the week days respectively. January 1st, 1851, is designated by the 28th character chin, and February 1st, the 1st day of the Chinese year, is marked 1⁄4 the 3d character, ff.

Chinese XXXth Year, XIIth Moon.

　　　The weather, during this month, is dry, cold, and bracing-differing but little, if at all, from that of November and December. The wind blows ge- nerally from the north, occasionally inclining to the NE. or NW. A change to the south-which may be expected at intervals of 10 or 15 days, during the winter-causes considerable variation in the temperature of the atmos- phere.

FEBRUARY, 28 Days.

Chinese Ist Year, Ist Meon.

　　　　During the month the thermometer continues low; but the dry bracing cold of the three preceding months is changed for a damp and chilly atmos- phere; the number of fine fair days is much diminished, and cloudy and foggy ones are more frequent in February and March than in any other months. The fog is sometimes so dense us to render objects învisible at a few yards' distance. The prevailing winds are from the northeast and east, and are rather trying to foreigners from the quantity of moisture with which they are charged;| the thermometer does not give a just index of their chilliness.

APRIL, 30 Days.

Chinese Ist Year, IIId Moon.

　　　The thick fogs which begin to disappear towards the end of March are in April seldom if ever seen. The atmosphere, however, continues damp, and rainy days are not unfrequent. At the same time, the thermometer gradually rises, and the nearer approach of the sun renders that heat more perceptible. In this and the summer months, southerly winds generally prevail; frequently however, they veer to the eastward, and prevail more from that direction, occasionally coming from the south and southwest at Macao and its vicinity.

Chinese Ist Year, IVth Moon.

　　　In this month the heat is fully set in, and it is-particularly in Canton- often oppressive, the more so from the closeness of the atmosphere, the winds being usually light and variable. This is the most rainy month in the year, averaging fifteen days and a half of heavy rain; cloudy days without rain, however, are of frequent occurrence, and one half of the month averages fine sunny weather.

JUNE, 30 Days.

Chinese Ist Year, Vth Moon.

The month of June is also a very wet month, although, on an average, the number of rainy days is less than in the other summer months. The ther- mometer in June rises several degrees higher than in the month of May, and falls but little at night-it is this latter circumstance, chiefly, which causes the exhaustion often felt in this region from the heat of summer-no opportunity being afforded for regaining strength.

Chinese Ist Year, VIIIth and Intercalary Moon.

In the month of September, the monsoon is entirely broken up, and north- erly winds begin to blow, but with very little alleviation of the heat. This is the period most exposed to the description of hurricanes called tyfoons, the range of which extends southwards over about one half of the Chinese sea, and northward to the coast of Japan. They have appeared with the greatest severity in the gulf of Tonquin.

PARSEE CHRONOLOGY.

The æra adopted by the Parsees is called the Era of Yezdejerd, and commences A. D. 632, the year of the accession of Yezdejerd III. to the throne of Persia, and the same in which that kingdom was attacked by the Arabs : the Sassanian dynasty terminated by the successive defeats of this monarch in 636, and afterwards in 641, and his expulsion from the country. There are two modes of calculating this æra adopted by the Parsees, which differ only in one month; the Kudmees reckon time as given in the first column in this Calendar, the Rusmees or Shenshai date it one month later as given in the second column, commencing their year September 27th. The inter- calation of five days at the end of the 12 months of 30 days to complete the year of 365 days is a very ancient mode, introduced by and adopt- ed from the Chaldeans, by the Persians, Medes, Egyptians, Grecians, Romans, and Mexicans, among all of whom they were observed with mirth and feasting. They are collectively called Gawthaws by the Parsees, but each one has its own name, as pellow honooud, beejmo oostooud, teejow uppuntomud, chotho vough khustuther, and packmor vestoyest. - The year A. D. 1751 corresponds to the year 1220 of this æra, euding August 37th,.or September 26th, when the year 1221

commences.

Rat

　　　The lunar year commencing App is the 1213th of the civil era of the Siamese and Burmese, alfd that beginning May 30th, is the 4394d of their religious year, computed from the death of Budha. The Japanese, Coreans, and Cochinchinese follow the Chinese sexagenary cycle, in calling the present year sin-hai

but each of these nations dates events from the commencement of the reigns of their respective monarchs.

CHINESE ANECDOTES TO INCULCATE A MORAL.

A Large Mouth.

other.

One man said,

Two men were telling stories with each "There's a man in our village, whose head reaches to heaven while he stands on the ground." The other said, There's a man in our village large than that; bis upper lip reaches to the clouds, and his lower lip lies on the ground." The other asked, "Where's his body then?" "I have only seen his big mouth," rejoined the latter.

Moral---This last certainly had the thickest cheeks-i. e. no shame.

I didn't see him !

　　　　　A foolish lictor was once carrying a criminal to the magistrate's office, who was a Budhist, and as he was starting on his way, lest he' should forget his things and his errand, he carefully noted them all' in two sentences to say over to himself, viz.:-

Bundle, umbrella, cangue, Warrant, priest, and I."

As he went along, he repeated these two line every step to him-. self. The priest, seeing his character, got him drunk, then shaved: his hair off, and put the cangue on him, and stealthily fled. - Ọn com- ing to, the lictor said, "Let us wait till I examine whether everything - be right. Bundle and umbrella are here." Feeling on his neck, "the cangue is here too," he says, " and so is the warrant." All at once, half scared, he cries, "Haiya! I don't see the priest !" but just then rubbing the top of his head, he exclaims with glee, "The priest' is still here, but after all I do'nt see myself."

　　　　　　Moral.-You will say what a fool this man is, but do you know that meṇ show as much folly in blindly running hither and thither in the parsnit of gain all their days, and never studying themselves; till at last, when their plans and life are scattered in the darkness of death, they come to them... selves? This is even greater folly than the lictor's.

The Blinking Cat.

A grimalkin, with eyes half shut, sat mewing and squalling, when two rats seeing her a long way off, said to each other,

"The old cat is becoming reformed; she is saying her prayers to-day; we can go

out without fear." They had just left their hole, when puss made a spring and seized one of them, devouring him bones and all. The other jumped back to her fellows, saying, "I just said she had half shut her eyes, and was saying her prayers, and now would have a better heart, and do well; who would have thought she would just then snap up one of us, not even leaving his skull!"

　　　Moral.-Some will say prayers to do wickedness, and others do no wick- edness even if they do not say prayers.

Beat him half Dead.

　　　A rich old man one day spoke to a covetous fellow, "I will give you a thousand taels, if you will let me beat you to death." The man thought a good while, and replied, "Will you give me five hundred taels for beating me half dead?"

　　　Moral. Men brave the winds and waves for money, and often lose their lives, but I guess this man would not just hit it, and only be half killed.

Lacking Rice and a Bed.

　　　A poor man was boasting to a number of friends, "My family is not so very rich, but I have all sorts of things in it ;" and he began counting them over with his fingers, adding, "There is wanting only the imperial car and phœnix chariot." "There are all kinds of eata- bles too, the only things wanting are a dragon's heart and a phoenix's liver." A boy standing by, knitting his brow, rejoined, "There's no bed in the house, for we sleep on a pallet of straw, and we did'nt have a kernel of rice to-day; and now you're telling these lies before the world." The man lifting up his eyes, added, "Very true, just so; I forgot; there's everything in the house we want, except a phoenix's liver, a dragon's heart, some rice for supper, an imperial car, the phoenix chariot, and a bed to sleep on."

　　　Moaal. To be poor is not ridiculous, but to be poor and lie so about it is contemptible.

Brothers buying a Pair of Boots.

　　　Two brothers bought a pair of boots which it was agreed they should wear together. On bringing them home, the younger brother put them on and wore them every day, so that his elder brother had no part of the wear, with which he was not at all pleased, and so got up nights to wear them, going without sleep. The boots in a little while were quite worn out, when the younger

"Let us buy a new pair of boots." The other, knitting his brow, said, "No, unless you will let me sleep nights; if I can sleep, you can do it."

said,

　　　Moral.-The proverb saith, "In a leaky ship, or on a lean horse, people all fare alike, and get no pity."

A priestly Answer.

　　　　　A man once went to a temple to cast lots, and asked a Táu priest to divine for him. The priest said, "First lay down the money for the incense, and then the response will be good; but if there be no cash, the answer will not be at all to your liking."

　　　　　Moral-If people have no money, who will ever give them a merry an- swer?

Looking at an Album.

A military man, dressed in cotton robes and boots, was visiting at a monastery, the priests of which did not observe much ceremony towards common men. The officer remarked to them, "I see every- thing is very meager and poor in your establishment; if you lack the means for repairing and cleaning it up, you had better bring the temple album, and I will put down something for that purpose." The priest, much pleased, forthwith presented him with a dish of tea, and treated him with the utmost politeness. The visitor wrote in the album four large characters in a row, tsungtuh pú-páng (i. e. the governor-general's): the priest, seeing it was such a high dignitary traveling incognito, became alarmed and made his obeisance with bent knee. He then took up the pencil, and added underneath the title, piau-hiá tso ying kwán-ping (ie. lieutenant-general of the left division). The priest, finding his guest was a soldier, became red with anger, and rose up from his knees. On seeing him add, hí shí sánskih (i. e. gladly contributes thirty), down he went again on his knees, suppos- ing it would be thirty taels of silver; but when he saw him write wan- tsien (i. e. cash), he got up again from his knees, and turned his head away to hide his angry face at such niggardliness.

· Moral.-At first he's no manners, because there's no money;

Then he's civil as pie when he scents out the honey; Now he bows for fear of power,

Then he kneels for hope of more :

All men are pretty much like this.

The man who was anxious about his two-hundredth birthday. An old man, both rich and honorable, whose sons aud grandsons filled his hall, had a large crowd of guests assembled around his door to congratulate him upon his hundredth birthday; but he knit his eyebrows as if he was unhappy, till the crowd asked him what he was grieving at amidst the general joy. "I am not anxious about anything," said he; "only I was thinking that on the anniversary of my two hundredth birthday, there will be many hundreds and thou- sands more guests, and how shall I be able to remember them all?"

Vanal Han sille thus to borrow troublet

Deducting two Taels a; Night.

　　　There was a kind old man, who took pleasure in charitable acts, who one wintry night saw a man sheltering himself under his eaves, and invited him into his house. A glass of warin spirits cheered him up, and he remained through the night, but owing to the snow the host made him stay that day and the next, when the weather clear- ed up.

As he was about to go, he begged of the old man the loan of a knife; taking it up, he said to him, "We did not know each other before, but I am going to destroy this body in order to requite your great kindness." The old man much surprised, stopped him; You would greatly injure me by such a deed, for to have a man die in my house without any reason will waste twelve taels or more money, besides all the trouble." The rogue replied, "I avail of your suggestion; it will not be well to have so much annoyance, just get the twelve taels for me, and I will go.' The old man, greatly provoked, aroused the whole neighborhood with his objurgations, but in order to appease him, gave hiin six taels, sighing as the wretch was going, "Who would have thought I should ever meet such an unconscionable man?" "You do'nt call yourself unreasonable," rejoined the chap, "but say that I am so ; now if you had but a good heart, you would not only have kept me the three nights, but would not have deducted two taels for every night I stopped here, from what I should have cost you if I had used the knife."

11.

　　　Moral. We regard this man as very ungrateful thus to requite the kind- ness shown him, but how many people there are in the world like him! Men are placed in positions of power, honor, influence, and emolument by imperial bounty, who never think of the favors they have received, but requite these benefits by injuring the people, destroying their property, and weakening the authority of the monarch. Parents rear their children with infinite lahor, anxiety, and expense, and how often these sons regard them as enemies, and embitter their declining years with unnatural ingratitude.

"Leaving me only that Wretched Beggar."

　　　Cháng and Lí were once walking together, when seeing a rich old man coming in his sedan with many slaves, Ching pulled his com- panion aside within a doorway to hide themselves, saying, "The man in that sedan is my hear relative, and if I do not retire from his presence, he will needs get out of it to salute me, which would be very troublesome and inconvenient to him." Lí replied, "Of course, then, you ought to step aside." Going on, in a little while, they saw a man on horseback, followed by many runners whose dress and cap were well arranged; . and Cháng again pulled his friend aside into a

doorway, observing, "The gentleman on horseback has been my in- timate friend from boyhood, and if I meet him it will cause him great trouble, for he will certainly stop and get off his horse to salute me." "To be sure then, you ought to withdraw," said Lí. They then both went on, and soon saw a beggar, with tattered garments, and torn cap, bawling out as he came up. Lí, pulling Cháng, and turning aside into a doorway, said, "This miserable beggar is my near rela- tive and intimate friend, and I wish to avoid him, for if he sees me, he will not be at all ashamed of me." This surprised Cháng, whọ said, "Why do you have such sort of friends?" Lí said, "You pick out all the rich and good for your friends, and leave only the empty handed beggars to annoy me, what else can I do?"

Moral. This general practice of currying favor with the rich, and inducing men to despise the low, is very mean: how much more base, when persons lie about it!

The man who wished to be changed into a father.

　　　　　An old rich man called his debtor to his house, and told him, " Yoy barebacked beggar; you've nothing with which you can pay me; swear to me how you will repay me in the coming world, and I wiḤ burn the account, and not ask for anything." The mau said, "Į should wish to be changed into a horse, that your honor might ride me till I had paid the whole debt." Upon this, the old man assented; and taking up the bill burned it. Another oue of his debtors com- ing in afterwards, and saying, "I should like to become an ox, and plough the fields, or drag the harrow for my lord, till ny debt was cancelled," he likewise burned his account. Sometime after this, one of his largest debtors remarked to him, that he should like to be changed into his father that he might liquidate his debt. "You not only owe me considerable money, which you will not repay," said the old man, rather provoked, "but you also wish to urge me to de- part from right; what justice is there in this ?"

Just hear me,"

rejoined the man; "I owe you a great amount, and instead of being metamorphosed into a horse or an ox in the next world to repay you, I wished much rather to become your father; the care and labor of a life, without regarding myself, might perhaps accumulate many fields and houses, which I should not think of enjoying myself, but would joyfully give them over to you.

Would not this be settling your debt?"

　　　Moral. When persons have spendthrift children, who dissipate their wealth like "boiling water or melting snow," snch conduct as this old man's is explainable; but it is painful to see an old man growing so foolish.

A dumb Man speaking.

　　　A certain beggar feigned dumbness, and begged for alms in the streets and markets, pointing with one finger to his clap-dish, and with the other hand to his lips, grunting, Ah! Ah! One day he got two cash, with which he bought whiskey, and drinking it up, said, "Give me a little more whiskey." The rumseller said,

"You come

in here constantly, and have never been able to talk; how is it you can speak to-day?" "I got no money other days, what should make me talk; but I got two cash to-day, and now of course 1 can say something."

Moral. Money nowadays will make most men speak.

Brothers cultivating a Field together.

　　　Two brothers were partners in cultivating the same field, and when the time of harvest came, and the younger was about dividing the grain, the elder said, "You and I are good brothers, but if we take this petty carefulness about our portions, I am afraid observers will say we are measuring and estimating everything to the loss of harmony and propriety. Let me take the upper part of the grain this year, and you the lower straw part, while next year you can take the upper part, and I will take the lower; and thus alternate year by year." The younger assented. Next year, in the spring, the younger remarked to his brother that it was time to set out the rice shoots, to which he replied, "That is true, but I hear that it is going to be a very dry season this year, and I am decided to plant taro this spring; besides, you agreed to take the upper half of the crop this year, and I the lower part, alternating year by year, which we considered a fair division; and now you must not alter the ar- rangement."

Moral. Those who scheme only for their own benefit and never think of others, are plenty everywhere, and even friends offend each other in this manner; "but who can tell whether Venerable Heaven will let you trifle so with rectitude ?"

PAGODAS IN AND NEAR CANTON.

THE term pagoda, now usually applied to the lofty hexagonal storied towers common near Chinese cities, is said to be derived from the Sanscrit word bhagavati, or 'holy house.' By the Portuguese and French writers, the word is still used to designate temples of all kinds in India, Siam, and China; the lofty, storied pagodas being called towers. Many of the temples in India have lofty pyramidal structures attached to them, as in the famous pagoda at Tanjore, and the applica- tion of the term to the Chinese structures was casy and appropriate. English writers, however, have looked chiefly to the towers in China as resembling the Hindu buildings, while continental travelers seem to have paid more regard to the general purposes of the latter establish- inents, and called the temples in this country pagodas. This distinc- tion needs to be attended, to in reading books on China, for a large proportion of the pagodas in China have no temples attached to them. Whether the táh or Chinese pagoda is derived from the Indian structure, or is an original conception of the builders of this country, is a question which has been discussed at some length; we are inclined to think that it is indigenous, and that even the unimagina- tive Chinese architect would have produced something better than the simple nine-storied pagoda if he had tried to imitate the ornate pyrami- dal edifice of the Hindu. The similarity between the two is too slight, and the purposes for which they were erected too unlike, to lead us tò suppose that one was copied from the other. The Chinese táh is. somewhat connected with the Budhist faith, and a few still have mo- nasteries near them; but they are so much more closely related to the geomantic notions of this people, that they are not now much associated with the Budhists. The remark of Rev. Mr. Milne, in refer- ence to the Tower of Ningpo, "that the presence of such an edifice not only secures to the site the protection and favor of heaven if it already bears evidences of enjoying it, but represses any evil influences that may be native to the spot, and imparts to it the most salutary and felicitous omens," at once explains their purpose, and discloses the motive which has impelled the Chinese to erect such apparently use- less buildings.

The number of pagodas in China is unknown, and there is some variety in their height and mode of construction, while their general aspect is marked with the same uniformity that attaches to everything architectural in this country. De Gaignes has given drawings of seven, which he visited in his journey to Peking; the highest among them was near Káutáng chau in Shántung, and was eleven stories high. This writer seems at a loss to account for the fact that those erected. near small towns are lower and smaller than those in cities, and sup- poses there may be some proportion demanded by usage between the size of the pagoda and the town; but the difference is owing probably entirely to the greater wealth of the city. This author mentions one of seven stories near Yángchau fú in Kingsú nearly uniform in size to the top, the stories of which were merely divided by three rows of black bricks. He also speaks of many pagodas of five and seven stories in height:-indeed no district town or prefecture is considered to be complete without one of these felicitous structures, and they are probably as numerous as the district towns, though in many cases a cheap brick edifice of five stories is made to insure whatever cf good luck the táh can bring. According to the Chinese local topography. of Kwangchau fú, there is a pagoda in very district in this prefecture, except Hwa hien.

The following account of the pagodas in the vicinity of Canton by à visiter to one or two of them, we introduce in connection with the preceding general observations, assured that our readers will be in- terested in its notices of these structures, which are such prominent objects of sight and curiosity to every one who comes up the Pearl river to the City of Rams.

"It was a cloudy fresh morning in the month of May, when I left Whampoa in company with a friend to visit the Second Bar Pagoda. The tide was in our favor, and as we rapidly drifted by the ships, and found ourselves beyond Blenheim Reach and going down the river, the boatmen began to throw out hints of the proximity of pirates, river thieves, and other evilminded people ; but not a word would we hear of all their misgivings; after a couple of hours' rowing we left the boat in a creek at the foot of the hill on which the pagoda stands, and went ashore at a farmhouse. The workmen in this establishment were a hearty set of fellows, and received us with loud protestations of good- will, asking us a variety of questions, and replying to our inquiries with much good humor. Their dwellings and the buildings for stor- ing the grain, and the farming utensils, were arranged on two sides of a well made threshing-floor, about two hundred feet long. Many

boats, apparently connected with the farmstead, lay in the creek, pro- tected by a stout fence of wattles from marauders going up and down the river. The whole boat population came into the floor, and after a few friendly words, we left them to proceed on our way. In passing through an avenue of fine plantain trees, which lay between the floor and the hill, I was led to observe the sagacity of the Chinese in planting this succulent vegetable in a spot where it would have plenty of nourishineat in the driest weather, at the same time that its roots served to strengthen the bank, and its fallen leaves manure the adja- cent fields.

"The pagoda stands on a bluff hill of old red sandstone; the side towards the river is quite precipitous, a narrow path leading up to the top. About half the way up this path, we reached a ledge a rod or more broad, and came to more quarries similar to those at the base, but much more extensive. These excavations showed that the Chi. nese were well acquainted with cutting out freestone. Myriads of tons had been removed, and the wails had been in most cases left perpen- dicular; iu their general aspect, they strongly reminded me of those at Silsilis on the Nile, though here the effects of moisture and vegetation had concealed most of the rubbish.

　　　　　"As we mounted the brow of the hill, the landscape began to open upon us, and to increase in beauty as well as extent, so that by the time we had reached the foot of the pagoda, we were fully repaid for the toilsome ascent, and the discomfort of getting wet and missing our path. The pagoda stood alone; not a building, nor anything was near to show that habitations had ever clustered around it; while the old citadel wall a few rods off indicated that this hill had not always been thus lonely. The larger portion of the hill was covered with plats of vegetables and a few fields of rice, raised for the most part ou numerous terraces, which gave the impression of former agricultural Jabors far greater than the present.

"We mounted by the stairs in the walls to the eighth story, meeting here a disjointed human skeleton, the remains of some poor wretch who had probably gone up in this lonely tower to die. The prospect around us was magnificent and picturesque in a high degree. From our lofty point of view, Lintin I. and the city of Canton were both visi- ble, and the pagodas at Whampoa and Canton stood like guardians of the Inner Land. On the east, lay the wide expanse of the Pearl river, here called the Sea of Lions, and more than a mile wide; its further shore was once the scene of mortal strife during the late with England ; and its now peaceful waters were once illuminated by the lurid flames

　　and explosion of the ship Chesapeake, on which and the raft before it, the Cantonese had fondly trusted for defense against the invaders. South, the barren hills about the Bogue shut out most of the prospect; but on the west and southwest, a plain stretched farther than the eye could reach, rendered picturesque by a succession of rice-grounds and other fields, villages embosomed in groves, and canals and rivulets run- ning in every direction, whose course was apparent in many cases only by the masts and sails of boats peeping out of the rice fields; the whole showing the industry and thrift of the people. Hills bounded the horizon on the north, affording a pleasing transition from the plains in the other direction. Probably more than a hundred villages were in sight, and it was a melancholy reflection that all their industrious inhabitants were ignorant of the God who had spread out this fair expanse of fertility and beauty for their use.

"The stillness around us was the more pleasant in contrast to the noise of the Factories at Canton, and the feeling of repose which this quiet induced was deepened by the sight of the deserted citadel just below us, suggesting the toil and cares of its former human inmates- now all gone. Curiosity was excited to learn something of this ruin, and on since looking into a local topography, I find a few notes respecting it and the pagoda, (usually called the Lien-hwá táh, or Water Lily pagoda,) which may interest other visitors, as they have me.

　　　"The Shih Li (Stone Whetstone) hill is about a li east of Golden Goose hill; it is 2000 cubits or so high, 10 li broad each way, and surrounded by water, which runs by it on each side, this hill rising abruptly in the centre. Below it is the Sea of Lions, and on its east is a stone precipice, rising high and steep, which resembles a lion in its form; in its bosom is a cave in which tix or seven men can be seated, and a rill runs many hundred feet down it; shis hill thus forms the defense of the Bogne. At this place there is a cliff called Kin-láng, or the Variegated Porch, because it can be paced along like a corridor for a hundred paces or more, and visitors go there and sit, sometimes getting their garments wet by the spray of the streamlet. The geomancers say that it is by five [hills like] beasts which here lock up and obstruct the flow of the waters, that the great sea is warded off from the entrance-a circumstance of great importance to the good luck of the capital. In the time of the Ming dynasty, Páng and Koh, two scholars in the district of Nánhái, took upon then to require rental of this hill, and invited traders to come and cut stone, which wounded the pulse of the ground, and caused sorrow and evil to the literary people around. In the year 15€6, five kijin of the district, named Lí, Liú, Lin, Liáng, and Tsui petitioned the government to prohibit the quarrying of stone, and then they erected a pogoda of nine stories on the summit, called Shih-lior Stone Whetstone pagoda ; it is situated below Whampoa I. and above Tiger 1. In the days of Kánghi,

when the coast people were removed into the interior, this place was fixed on as a limit, and a brick citadel was accordingly erected on the boundary line, with a camp and signal-fire tumuli; is now called the Lien-kưá ching, or Lily Flower citadel. Since the second year of Tsungching, in AD, 1 330, for a period of a hundred and more years, the quarries in this hill had been repeatedly opened and shut up ; but latterly miscreants of the place in combination with the traitorous merchant Láu, surreptitiously got stone there as they pleased, the underlings of government receiving bribes therefor, and preventing any one from interfering-thus making the leak in the dam still wider. But in the 29th year of Kienlung, A.D. 1765, Doctor Ling and others petitioned their excellencies the provincial officers, who ordered two tablets to be erected, one in the citadel on the hill and the other in the literary chancellor's office in Canton, prohibiting stone to be taken from the quarries.'

　　　　　"From this it appears that this ruin is connected with one of the strangest freaks of despotism recorded in Chinese annals-that of ordering all the inhabitants of the coast to remove thirty miles into the interior to escape the ravages of a pirate from whom the imperial forces could not protect them. This event happened about 1665, so that this wall has stood not far from 180 years; not a vestige of the fire tumuli spoken of are to be seen, nor did we find the tablet ordering the quarries to be shut up, though perhaps a little search might bring it to light. The area inclosed by this wall is a few square rods, and several piles of brick in it, covered with weeds, show where buildings once stood. The pagoda is built of brick throughout; one beam stretches across the eighth story to support a pillar which once projected beyond the top several feet, and was intended to call down good influences from heaven. The total height is 150 feet. It would be a difficult affair to reach the top, and I suspect none of the numerous visitors whosenames are cut in the walls at the lookout window have ever under taken it.

　　　　　"At the southern part of the hill is a somall cave, and a solitary Budhist, in the true ascetic spirit of his faith, has taken up his abode in it with a number of gilded idols, whom he serves. The inhabitants of a small town on the southwest no doubt furnish him food and praise enough for his support and encouragement in addition to the produce of his own gardening, to make his life comfortable. Not far from his cell is a singular well or shaft sunk in the rock about forty feet, but though there is water in it, one can not be sure it was dug for a well ; perhaps this is the place where the stone cutters wounded the pulse of the ground,' as the preceding account mentions.

"We returned to our boat by a path which wound around the inland :

clane of the hill Quieving the varios

presence of foreigners in this region on shooting excursions after the wild fowl which abounds in these low grounds, has rendered the in- habitants well acquainted with them, so that no one who is disposed need hesitate to refresh himself with a visit to the Second Bar Pagoda.

"As we approached Whampoa, its pagoda formed a prominent object of view, and as it is equally known by name with the other, I make a short extract from the same topography in explanation of its erection. Like that it is built of brick in an octagonal form, but the walls are thicker, and the stairs do not ascend regularly, but are cut in alternate flights on opposite sides. The floors or timbers which mark- ed the several stories inside, and connected these stairways, have long since disappeared, so that now it is necessary to bring a stout plank to lay across from window to window as one goes up, pulling it up after as the ascent is made. The pagoda rests upon a substantial stone plinth, each of its eight sides being marked with one of the mystical diagrams of Fuhhí-in the eyes of the builders, doubtless considered to be essential to the prosperity of the building. It is finish- ed off circularly inside instead of angularly to correspond to the outside; the height is not far from 180 feet. The native account of the Hái Ngáu táh for the Whampoa Pagoda is as follows:- In the southeastern part of the district of Pwányü thirty lt from Canton an island rises out of the river, about a hundred cubits high, having ether hillocks on it, like guitars in shape. In the reign of Wanlih of the Ming dynasty, A. D. 1598, Kwoh Fi, Wang Hioh-tsang, and Yang Sui-yun, officers of the Imperial Banqueting House, requested permission of the lieutenant- governor and treasurer to build a nine storied pagoda, which standing prominently in the midst of the waters, would greatly add to the view. They named it Hải-ngáu táh, or the Sea Whale pagoda; on the north a hall was built for Shangtí, and on its side a monastery called the Hái-ngáu sz'. The governors Tai Yáu and Chin Tá-ko, with the two fúyuen Kú and Liú, also subscribed for its erection.'.

　　　"The buildings here mentioned are now deserted by the priests, and so dilapidated, that they are hardly inhabitable; while the grounds about them, the walls, gateways and everything else, shows neglect. and poverty-weeds having taken the place of flowers, and disorder of neatness and regularity. Ruin and solitude seem to be more in harmony, however, with these relics of olden time, and notwithstanding the zeal of some devout people, it is likely that the pagoda and its precincts will gradually become more neglected and ruinous, though it does not show symptoms of immediate falling.

From the Whampoa pagoda the Halfway pagoda stands in a wes- terly direction, by the side of a small creek, called Lob creek by the

　　　seamen, through which they sometimes pass to shorten their way in going up to Canton. This pagoda is surrounded by fields and habita- tions, and has not the neglected air of the other two, though like them its brick walls are crumbling, and low shrubbery on the projecting rooflets shows the progress of dilapidation. Its stairways are built like the Whampoa pagoda, and it is about the same height. I also subjoin a short extract coucerning the Chik Káng táh from the same work which has furnished the preceding :-

　　　　　"The Red Stone Knoll is more than ten li south of Canton; it is red like cinnabar. The geomancers says there is a precious thing below it. In the days of the Tang dynasty, a man from the Fú-nán kingdom

(Annám ?) wished to buy it for ten thousand pieces of money, but the prefect replied, 'It is the hill which protects the southern region, and can not be parted with.' In the reign of Tienki of the Ming dynasty (A.D. 1621-28) Li Shi-wan, a scholar of the district of Nánhái, took the lead in building a pagoda on the top of it in order to protect the river entrance to the prefecture and city; it is commonly called the Chik Kang tahor Red Knoll pagoda. There was once a Budhist temple and pavilion to the God of Lite- rature near it, and scholars often collected there to study and write, but these are now all destroyed."

'In 1837, the gentry of Canton circulated a subscription paper for the purpose of raising funds to repair and beautify this and the Wham- poa Pagoda, but all their zeal only about a thousand dollars were rais- ed, with which the progress of decay was somewhat delayed. The reasons for this appeal to the piety of their countrymen are set forth in the following circular issued at the time :-

"Fellow-countrymen! The region of country southeast of the provincial city, on account of its water-courses, has an important influence on the for- tunes of the inhabitants. From an examination of old records it appears, that the pagoda on Pachau, and the adjacent temple dedicated to the mon- sters of the sea, were built in the twenty-fifth year of Wanleih (1598); and that the pagoda at Chihkáng, and the temple there consecrated to the god of letters, were founded in the reign of Tienki (about 1621); all these structures have had a most happy influence on everything around them, causing the number of literati to be very numerous, and the productions of the soil most abundant. Recently, however, the winds and the rains, driving furiously, have broken down the tops of the pagodas, and laid the temples in ruins, and injur- ed even their foundations. Their appearance now is very unsightly; they ought to be repaired, in order to secure the return of happy and prosperous times. The pagoda on the north of the city, which rises five stories high and has its walls painted red, a color which is from its very nature productive of fire, ought also to be repaired, and painted with some other color. Already we have obtained the permission of their excellencies, the governor in council,

to proceed with the contemplated repairs, and also recommendatory papers in which they advise the people to assist in accomplishing this work. It being an affair which greatly concerns both our honor and prosperity, we have a right to expect, fellow-countrymen, that you will heartily coöperate, joyfully and promptly contributing, little or much according to your ability, so that by, our united efforts the repairs may be soon undertaken, and the buildings rise again to their former splendor! Then, according to your deeds of merit, the gods will send prosperity, and your glory and virtue will be become great beyond comprehension. A special solicitation.'

　　　"The two pagodas within the walls of the city of Canton are not as conspicuous to persons coming up the river as their height would indicate, in consequence of the intervening city walls, masts, flagstaffs, &c., which partly hide them. They are seen to good advantage, how- ever, from the hills north of the city. The Kwáng táho Plain Pagoda, as it is commonly called, is remarkable, as it shows the wealth and power of the Mohammedans in Canton at the time it was erected, about a thousand years ago. The Mohammedans still reside in its neighborhood, and maintain a mosque for their religious services, which surrounds the base of the pagoda, it rising like a minaret from the centre. The Manchú garrison is also stationed in this quarter. The account of the Plain Pagoda given in the Kwángchau Chi is very meager, but I insert it :-

　　　"The Hwai Shing szor Remembering-the-Holy Monastery, is situated within the city, and was built during the Táng dynasty by fo- reigners; it can be ascended by circuitous stairs. It is 165 cubits high. In the days of Ming, Abdallah, a foreign officer lived here with seventeen families. On the summit was a golden cock, which turned with the wind, and every year the foreigners used to go up to the top of it during the fifth and sixth moons about four o'clock in the morning, and call out with a loud voice, praying to the weathercock. In 1388, a tyfoon threw down the golden cock, which was carried to the imperial treasury, and a copper one put up in its place; this was thrown down, and a [wooden] gourd put up, which was again thrown down in 1670.

　　　"If this notice is complete as regards it serection, it shows that the structure must be very solidly built, to have resisted the effects of climate and time; and though a few shrubs can be seen growing on the upper part, it is not ruinous. Not far from it stands the Hwá táhor Flowery Pagoda, as it is called for distinction's sake, but as no foreigner can go in and see these erections, I can only give the native account, from which it appears that the Flowery Pagoda is a very ancient edifice, though not so old as its fellow :-

"The Tsing Wei sz'

(i. e. Placid Intelligence Monastery) is

situated in the northwest part of Canton, under the jurisdiction of the Nanháj magistrate. In the time of the Eastern Hán (A.D. 25-190), the Longevity Monastery was erected on the spot, and a neice of the Imperial house of Liú dwelt there as a nun. In the reign of Tåtung (A.D. 537), the lama Tányü erected a pagoda here to hold a relic, and called the edifice the Precious Dig- nified Monastery ; this was recorded in a tablet put up about the year 620 by Wang Poh. In 988, the name was changed to Taing Wei; at this date the pagoda was dilapidated. About the year 1090, Lin Siú, the deputy district magistrate of Páukí in Shensí, took the lead in giving funds for rebuilding it. He had fixed the limits of the ground, when a god appeared to him in a dream and told him to make the place broader; so he made it 45 cubits broad; on digging, he came to an ancient well, and found nine rings spread around the wall just where he had measured to build, and a huge tripod in which were discovered three swords and a mirror shining as bright as a newly buried Bud- ha's tooth; under these the foundations of the old pagoda were recognized. He collected laborers and procured tiles, and raised it 207 cubits, calling it the Tsing Wei monastery and Thousand Budhas' Pagoda. In the reign of Shaushing (A.D. 1095), the minister Sú Tungpo coming here called the monastery the Six Banians; and in 1374, half of it was taken down to erect a granary ; two years after, the abbot Kienyü built a Budhist temple on the east side of the pagoda, and changed the gate of the monastery to the east, ordering the priest Kin-pien to fast there very strictly. At present, the monastery receives the rental of about 240 acres. Next to the Kwáng-háu sz,' or Bright Filial monastery, this is the most ancient in Canton.'

"A native friend tells me that the baniaus mentioned in this notice still exist, but I suppose this assertion is to be taken like the legend given of the mulberry tree near Cairo, under which the Virgin rested when she came into Egypt from her flight out of Judea-namely, that other bunian trees stand where they did; for since the famous poet Sú Tungpo came to Canton, it has been sacked twice, and almost burned to ashes. These trees are, I think, cherished for the sake of the poet, aud it is pleasant to find that in China too, genius can hallow spota in the eyes of posterity. The Hưá tảh is a good deal out of repair, and the citizens are no longer allowed to ascend it as formerly to enjoy the prospect, lest accidents occur.

These five are all the pagodas visible when ascending the Pearl river, but according to the same work from which I have before quoted, there are fifteen others in this department alone, of which I have seen only the one near Hiáugshán town, a lofty spire nearly 200 feet high perched on a hill fully 500 feet above the river, and forming one of the most conspicuous objects in that region. On asking a na- tive friend the reason why none have been built during the present dynasty, he says the fung-shwui doctors, or geomancers, now decry.

　　them as bringing ill luck, and that they have gone out of fashion in these days. People now erect wan tábor literary pagodas, three stories high, and dedicated to the God of Literature, whose im- age is usually found enshrined in them. This, he remarks, indicates the literary taste of the present day, but I tell him I think it proves the poverty and want of spirit of the people nowadays to be content with a wan pih or mere writing-pencil, which it is modeled after and usually called, while their ancestors put up solid structures two hundred feet high, and calculated to last a thousand years."

The total number of schools is reckoned at 222, includ- ing three for girls; the average attendance is probably about 15 to each school.

ANECDOTES OF FILIAL DUTY.

THESE instances of filial duty are very celebrated among the Chi- nese, and have done much to assist parents aud teachers in enforcing parental authority. All of the persons lived in ancient times, and their deeds have furnished many illustrations to poets and painters, and encouragement to the most humble in practicing obedience. It will be noticed that the practical character which runs through Chinese morals is seen in these anecdotes-almost every instance exhibiting some simple way in which love to parents can be shown.

The Filial Piety that influenced Heaven.

YC SHUN, the son of Koo Sau, had an exceedingly filial disposition: his father, however, was stupid, his mother perverse, and his younger brother Siang very conceited. His actions are related in the Shang Shoo, in the Chung Yung, and in the works of Mencius. Those who speak of him say, that Shun cultivated the hills of Leih (in the pro- vince of Shansi), where he had elephants to plough his fields, and birds to weed the grain. So widespread was the renown of his virtue, that the emperor Yau heard of him, and sent his nine sons to serve him, and gave to him two of his daughters in marriage; and after- wards resigned to him the imperial dignity.

　　　　　　　　　　Affection showed in tasting Soups and Medicines. THE emperor Wăn of the Han dynasty, the third son of his father Kautson, was appointed prince over the country of Tại.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　His own mother Poh was queen-dowager, and Wăn was sedulous in his atten- dance upon her. She was ill for three years, during which time his. eyelids did not close, nor was the girdle of his dress unloosed; and she took none of the soups and medicines prepared for her till he had tasted them. 'This benevolence and filial affection was heard of throughout the empire.

　　　　　　　　　　　Gnawing her Finger pained his Heart DURING the Chau dynasty there lived a lad named Tăng Tsan (also called Tszeyu), who served his mother very dutifully. Tsing was in the habit of going to the hills to collect faggots; and once, while he

was thus absent, many guests came to his house, towards whom his mother was at a loss how to act. She, while expecting her son, who de- layed his return, began to gnaw her finger. Tsăng suddently felt a pain in his heart, and took up his bundle of faggots in order to return home; and when he saw his mother, he kneeled and begged to know what was the cause of her anxiety. She replied; 'There have been some guests høre, who came from a great distance, and I bit my finger in ̈ order to arouse you to retura to me.'

Clad in a single Garment he was obedient to his Mother. DURING the Chau dynasty lived Min Sun (afterwards known as Tsze Hien), who in early life lost his mother. His father subsequent-. ly married another wife, who bore him two children, but disliked Min., In winter she clothed him in garments made of rushes, while her own, two children wore cotton clothes. Min was employed in driving his father's chariot, and his body was so cold that the reins dropped from his hands, for which carelessness his father chastised him; yet he did not vindicate himself [but bore the injury in silence]. When his father knew the circumstances, he determined to divorce his second wife; but Sun said, 'Whilst mother remains, one son is cold; if mother departs, three sons will be destitute.' The father desisted from his purpose; and after this, the mother was led to repentance, and became a good and virtuous parent.

He carried Rice for his Parents.

In the Chau dynasty lived Chung Yu, named also Tszeloo, who; because his family was poor, usually ate herbs and coarse pulse; and he also went more than a hundred le to procure rice for his parents. Afterwards, when they were dead, he went south to the country of T800, where he was made commander of a hundred companies of chariots; there he became rich, storing up grain in myriads of meas- ures, reclining upon cushions, and eating food served to him in nu- merous dishes; but sighing, he said, ' Although I should now desire to eat coarse herbs and bring rice for my parents, it cannot be !'

　　　　　　With sports and embroidered Garments he amused his Parents. In the Chau dynasty there flourished the venerable Lai, who was very obedient and reverential towards his parents, manifesting his dutifulness by exerting himself to provide them with every delicacy. Although upwards of seventy years of age, he declared that he was not yet old; and usually dressed himself in party-colored embroidered

　　　garments, and like a child would playfully stand by the side of his parents. He would also take up buckets of water, and try to carry them into the house; but feigning to slip, would fall to the ground, wailing and crying like a child and all these things he did in order to divert his parents.

With Deer's Milk ke supplied his Parents.

In the time of the Chau dynasty lived Yen, who possessed a very filial disposition. His father and mother were aged, and both were afflicted with sore eyes, to cure which they desired to have some deer's milk. Yen concealed himself in the skin of a deer, aud went deep into the forests, among the herds of deer, to obtain some of their milk for his parents. While in the forests the hunters saw him, and were about shooting at him with their arrows, when Yen disclosed to them his true character, and related the history of his family, with the reasons for his conduct.

He sold himself to bury his Father.

DURING the Han dyasty lived Tung Yung, whose family was so very poor, that when his father died he was obliged to sell himself in order to procure money to bury his remains. After this he went to another place to gain the means of redeeming himself; and on his way he met a lady who desired to become his wife, and go with him to his master's residence. She went with Tung, and wove three hun- dred pieces of silk, which being completed in two months, they returned home; and on the way, having reached the shade of thẹ cassia tree where they met before, the lady bowed and ascended upwards from his sight.

He hired himself out as a Laborer to support his Mother. In the time of the Ifan dynasty lived Kiang Kih, who when young, lost his father, and afterwards lived alone with his mother. Times of commotion arising, which caused them much distress, he took his mother on his back and fled. On the way, he many times met with companies of robbers, who would have compelled him to go with thein and become a baudit, but Kiang intreated them with tears to spare him, saying that he had his aged mother with him; and the robbers could not bear to kill him. Altering his course, he came into the district of Hiápei, extremely impoverished and reduced, where hẹ hired himself out and supported his mother; and such was his dili- gence that he was always able to supply her with whatever she

personally required

He fanned the Pillow and cooled the Mat.

In the Han dynasty lived Hwang Hiáng, who when only nine years old, lost his mother, whom he loved so ardently and remembered so strongly, that all the villagers praised his filial duty. He was employ- ed in the severest toil, and served his father with entire obedience. In summer, when the weather was warm, he fanned and cooled his father's pillow and bed; and in winter, when it was cold and chilly, with his body he warmed the coverlet and mat. The magistrate sent him an honorary banner as a mark of distinction.

The Gushing Fountain, and the Frisking Carp.

In the Han dynasty lived Kiang She, who served his mother with perfect obedience; and his wife Pang also fulfilled her mother-in- law's commands without the least reluctance. The old lady loved to drink of the water from the river, distant from the cottage six or seven le, and Pang was in the habit of going stealthily after it and handing it to her. She was also fond of carp, and when it was obtained, deeming herself not able to consume alone what her children with great toil and trouble continually prepared for her, usually invited some of the neighbors to feast with her. By the side of the cottage there suddenly gushed out a fountain, the taste of whose waters was like that of the river; and which daily produced two living fishes. These were taken out by Kiang She and prepared for his mother.

He carved Wood and served his Parents.

　　DURING the Han dynasty lived Ting Lan, whose parents both died when he was young, bdfore he could obey and support them, and he reflected that for all the trouble and anxiety he had caused them, no recompense had yet been given. He then carved wooden images of his parents, and served them as if they had been alive. For a long time his wife would not reverence them; but one day, taking a bod- kin, she in derision pricked their fingers. Blood immediately flowed from the wound; and seeing Ting coming, the images wept. He ex- amined into the circumstances, and forthwith divorced his wife.

For his mother's Sake he buried his Child.

　　In the days of the Han dynasty lived Koh Keu, who was very poor. He had one child three years old; and such was his poverty that his mother usually divided her portion of food with this little one. Koh says to his wife, "We are so poor that our mother cannot be support- ed, for the child divides with her the portion of food that belongs to

　　　　but a mother once gone will never return." His wife did not venture to object to the proposal; and Koh immediately dug a hole of about three cubits deep, when suddenly he lighted upon a pot of gold, and on the metal read the following inscription: "Heaven bestows this treasure upon Koh Keu, the dutiful sou ; the magistrate may not seize it, nor shall the neighbors take it from him."

He seized the Tiger and saved his Father.

In the Han dynasty lived Yang Hiang, a lad of fourteen years, who was in the habit of following his father to the fields to cut grain. Once a tiger seized his father, and was slowly carrying him off, when Yang, although he had no iron weapon in his hand, anxious for his father and forgetting himself, quickly ran forward and seized the tiger by the neck. The beast let the prey fall from his teeth and fled, and Yang's father was thus saved from injury and death.

He collected Mulberries to support kis Mother.

DURING the Han dynasty lived Trae Shun, whose father died when he was young, and who served his mother very dutifully. It happen- ed that during the troubles of the times, when Wangmang was plot- ting to usurp the throne, there were years of scarcity, in which he could not procure food, and Trae was compelled to gather mulberries, which he assorted, putting them into two vessels. The red eyebrow- ed robber saw him and inquired why he did thus. Tsae replied, 'the black and ripe berries 1 give to my mother, while the yellow and unripe ones I eat myself.' The bandit admired his filial affec- tion, and rewarded him with three measures of white rice, and a leg of an ox.

He laid up the Oranges før his Mother, Lua Tsetu, a lad six years old, who lived in the time of Han, and in the district of Kewkiáng, once met the celebrated general Yuen Shub, who gave him a few oranges. Two of them the lad put in his bosom, and when turning to thank the giver, they fell out on the ground; which the general seeing, says, Why does my young friend, who is now a guest, put the fruit away in his bosom?' The youth bowing replies, 'My mother is very foud of oranges, and wished, when I returned home, to present them to her.' "At this answer, Yuen was much astonished.

•

On hearing the Thunder ne wept at the Tomb.

In the country of Wei, lived Wang Lau, a very dutiful child; whose mother, when alive, was much afraid of thunder. After her death.

: 62

her grave was dug in the hilly forest; and whenever it blew and rain. ed furiously, and Wang heard the sound of the chariot of the goddess Hohiang rolling and thundering aloug, immediately he hastened to the grave, and reverently kneeling with tears besought her, saying, Low is here, dear mother, do not be alarmed.' And afterwards, whenever he read in the Book of Odes, this sentence ; 'Children should have deep and ardent affection for their parents, who have endured so much anxiety in nourishing them,' the tears flowed abundantly at the 'régollection 'of his mother.

He wept to the Bamboos, and Shoots sprung up.

Mand Tsung, who lived in the Tsin dynasty, when young lost his fátlier. His mother was very sick ; and one 'winter's day 'she longed !to takte a soup made of bamboo sprouts, but 'Măng could not procure any. At last he went into the grove of hamboos, clasped the trees with his hands, and wept bitterly. His fitial affection moved nature, and the ground slowly opened, sending forth several shoots, which he ga- 'thered and carried home. He made a soup with them, of which his "mother ate, and immédiately recovered fröm her malady.

He slept on the Ice to proòure'the Carp.

Duaing the Tsin dynasty lived Wang Tsiang, who early 'Idst his -mrother, and his stepmother Choo had no affection for him. His father, also, hearing many evil reports against him, in course of time (c)ceased to regard him with kindness. His mother was in the babit of -eating fresh fish at her meals, 'but winter coming, the ice bound up the rivers. Wang uhloosed his clothes, and went to sleep on the ice in order to seek them; when suddenly the ice opened of "itself, and 'a brace of carp jumped out, which he took up and carried to his moth- er. The villagers hearing of the occurrence, were surprised, and að- 'mired one whose filial duty hád Induced such an unusual thing.

Woo Măng fed the Musketver.

Woo Măng, a lad eight years of age, who lived under the Tsin dy- nasty, was very dutiful to his parents. They were so poor that they 'could not afford to furnish their beds with musketo-curtains; and -every summer's night, myriads of musķetoes attacked thein unre- strainedly, feasting upon their flesh and blood. Although there were so many, yet Woo would not drive them away; lest they should go to his parents, and annoy them. Such was his affection for his parents!

He tosted Ordure, and his Heart was grieved.

In the southern Tse country lived Yu Kienlow, who wax a magistrate over the district of Looking. He had not been in office ten days, when he was suddenly alarmed with a great distress of mind, accom- panied with a violent perspiration, on which be immediately resigned. his office, and returned kome.

When he arrived he found that his

　　　　father had been sick two days. The physician said, that he could know whether the patient would be better or worse by his stools,. which, if bitter, would indicate a favorable turn. Yu made the experiment and found them sweet, which grieved his inmost heart; and in the evening he prostrated himself before the god of the North Star, imploring that he might die instead of his father.

She suckled her Mother-in-law unweariedly.

　　　　DURING the Tang dynasty, the grandmother of Tsuy Channan, lady Tang lived with her mother-in-law, Changsun, who was so aged that' all her teeth were lost. This honorable lady every day carefully made her toilet, and went into her aged relative's apartment, and suckled her; by which means, the old lady's life and strength were prolonged many years, although she could not eat so much as a grain of rice. One day she was taken sick, and calling all her descendants around her, she said, 'Hearken! I have no means of recompensing the virtue of my daughter-in-law, but I request that the wives of all my children will serve her with the same affection and respect that she has shown to me.'

He resigned his office to seek his Mother

In the Sung dynasty lived Choo Shauchang, whose mother Lew, when he was seven years of age, because she was hated by his father's wife, left the family; and mother and son did not see each other for about fifty years. It was during the reign of Shintsung, that Choo resigned his official station and went into the Tsin country, and there made an engagement with his family, ' that he would not return until he had found his mother.' He then traveled into Tungehow, where he discovered his mother, who, at that time was aged upwards of seventy years.

He ronahed his mother's Utensils.

In the reign of Yuenyew of the Sung dynasty, Hwang Tingkien filled the office of prefect. He was of a very dutiful disposition, and although he was houorable and renowned, yet he received his mother's commands with the utmost deference. Every day he cleaned her utensils, with his own hands; nor for one moment did he ever omit

the duties of a filial son

THE CHINESE ALMANAC.

The origin and history of ALMANACs, and even the etymology of the word, are involved in obscurity. Some derive it from the Arabic ́ almanach, "to count," and others from the German almonat, the piece of wood on which it is said the Saxons used to carve the courses of the Moon. Several splendid English almanacs of the 14th century still exist in manuscript, in the British Museum. Almanacs were in general use in Europe, soon after the invention of printing. They were so mischievous in France, from the pretended prophecies they con- tained, that in 1579, Henry III. issued an edict forbidding the inser- tion of any predictions as to civil, state, or private matters. It is singular that the earliest English almanacs were printed in Holland, on small folio sheets. From an early period till within a few years, the almanacs of most countries have contained predictions of the weather, earthquakes, political events, or lists of lucky and unlucky days for certain purposes: for example, to buy, sell, marry, take medicine, etc. At one time they abounded in religious matter, at another in astrologi- cal superstitions, and at others in the genealogies of princes, etc. At present they are becoming every year more full of statistical mat- ter. The "British Almanac" and its "Companion," and especially the "American Almanac," are invaluable repositories of facts on almost every subject. In Germany, almanach is the name given to "annuals" like those known in America as "souvenirs," etc. 'The first almanac of any note, published in the United States, was com- menced by Franklin in 1733, and continued till 1758. It is known as "Poor Richard's Almanac." The circulation of this soon rose to 10,000 a year. In 1749, it was embellished by some rude illustra- tions. The maxims and sentiments that gave it such wonderful popularity for that day, were collected and published through Europe, Sayings of Poor Richard." Some of the best of them are

as the

such as,

"Take this remark from Richard, poor and lame,

Whate'er's begun in anger, ends in shame."

"Some men grow mad by studying much to know

But who grows mad by studying good to grow?" "Against diseases here, the strongest fence

Is the defensive virtue, Abstinence."

"What maintains one vice, would bring up two children." "A mob is a monster, witu heads enough, but no brains." "Plough thorough and deep while sluggards sleep,

And you shall have corn to sell or to keen."

　　　　　Ju the dmanacs of the Chinese, nearly as much diversity exists șa in those of western nations. But in one thing the Chinese alma. naos are all alike, and in this they resemble too the older almanacs of the west,-we mean, in the astrological ascription to each day of auspicious or baneful influences over the actions of men. In this character, the imperial almanacs, circulated by the government through all its dominions and tributary kingdoms, shares in common, with books addressed to the most superstitious of the people. The government of China thus gives the full weight of its authority to the idle belief, that the planets, of which in its astronomical works it acknowledges the earth to be a companion, can exert so powerful and mysterious an influence over the world, as to affect the success- of the undertakings and actions of every individual. It sanctions a belief, involving this absurdity, that two persons engaged in like undertakings, baring selected each the same auspicious period, and acting, consequently, under the same astral iufluences, may neverthe- less come off, the one fully successful, the other utterly foiled. But the governinent has not alone given the weight of its own authority to such unreasonable notions; it has, when European astronomers were yet in employ at Peking, required of them to attach their signa- ture to the astrological (as well as to the astronomical) tables of the almanac. This was acknowledged by one of these Europeans to Mr. Barrow, when at Peking, during Lord Macartney's embassy, and de- rives confirmation from the fact, that much greater faith is placed by the Chinese in astrological predictions worked according to the "Eu- ropean method," than in any others, and that to a superiority of this nature several of the popular almanacs consequently pretend.

The imperial almanac contains, in its smaller form about twenty, in its larger form about fifty, leaves. Upon the first leaf of the farger edition, is a table of the twenty-four zodiacal periods observed by the Chinese, marking the moment of the sun's passage over the first and the fifteenth degrees of each sign of the Zodiac, calculated for the meridian af Peking. The second leaf is occupied by a table of the more important stellary aspects, as auspicious or the reverse, to particular acts or undertakings. Thus one is auspicious to all acts, and destructive of every baneful influence; a second is auspicious to the presenter of memorials, to the officer newly entering upon his duties, to the happy couple contracting a marriage; a third and a fourth are baneful to the same parties; a fifth is prejudicial to the bather; a sixth to the general who leads out his army; and a seventh to the gardener who plauts or grafts under its influences. The third

leaf contains an astrological diagram, intelligible, as M. Klaproth has remarked, only to those who may choose to be at the pains of exploring deeply the astrological reveries of China. After these fol- low two large tables occupying thirty-one leaves, which show the moment of sunrise and sunset, and the times of commencement of the zodiacal half-monthly periods, in each province and dependency of China. The ephemeris follows next, occupying twelve or thirteen leaves, according to the number of lunar months into which the cur- rent year may be divided. The details of the ephemeris comprise the cyclic characters by which eàch day is distinguished, the moon's quarters, the places of several stars, the anniversaries of births and deaths of emperors and empresses during the reigning dynasty, and finally the particulars of what ought, and what ought not to be done' on each day. A table of 120 years, to show the age of an individual born in any year of the cycle,-to which is joined another table of astral influences, completes this book, of which the Chinese govern- ment is so proud, that it can not confer on any nation a more gracious gift than a copy of it.

　　　The almanacs in common use have many additional items, gener- ally of the same nature as the preceding. That for the 1st year of Hienfung has a sitting effigy of the young emperor on the title-page, with the mystic emblem of the yin and yáng in his hand, to show that he rules over the world. The distich,

A new prince has mounted the height,

May the age flourish, and the year be fruitful;

is inscribed near it.

Among the additions usually given may be mentioned, drawings of the 28 lunar constellations, their names and auspicious or malign influences, and how much they affect human beings. Sixty forms of charms-succeed them, with twelve pictures of children, and tables to calculate the horoscope of their births, according as they are born at such an hour of the twenty-four; lists of festivals, birthdays of gods, and sometimes a geographical notice of the provinces of China, are given in addition.

COMMON CHINESE PROVERBS.

Not to distinguish, properly between the beautiful and ugly, is like attach- ing a dog's tail to a squirrel's body.

　　　　An avaricious man, who can never have enough, is as a serpent wishing to swallow an elephant.

　　　　While one misfortune is going to have another coming, is like driving a tiger out of the front door, while a wolf is entering the back. The tiger's cub can not be caught without going into his den. To paint a snake and add legs. (Exaggeration.)

To sketch a tiger and make it a dog, is to imitate a work of genius and spoil it.

A fierce wolfish man is like the scathed branchless trunk of a tree.

To ride a fierce dog to catch a lame rabbit. (Useless power over a contemptible enemy.)

To attack a thousand tigers with ten men; (to attempt a difficulty with incommensurate means.)

To cut off a hen's head with a battle-axe; (unnecessary valor.)

　　　　To cherish a bad man is like nourishing a tiger; if not well fed he will devour you: or like rearing a hawk; if hungry he will stay by you, but fly away when fed.

Human joys are like the skippings of a sparrow.

　　　To instigate a villain to do wrong, is like teaching a monkey to climb trees. To catch a fish and throw away the net;-not to requite benefits. To take a locust's shank for the shaft of a carriage ;- set to do important work.

-an inefficient person

　　A pigeon sneering at a roc;-a mean man despising a prince. To climb a tree to catch a fish, is to talk much and get nothing.

To test one good horse by judging the portrait of another.

As a fish out of water so is a poor homeless man.

The fish sports in the kettle, but his life will not be long.

Like a swallow building her nest on a hut, is an anxious statesman. Like a frog in a well is a man of small thoughts.

Like a crane among hens is a man of parts among fools.

Like a sheep dressed in a tiger's skin is a superficial scholar.

　　Like a cuckoo in a magpie's nest, is one who enjoys another's labor. To hang on the tail of a beautiful horse; (to seek promotion.)

Do not pull up your stockings in a melon field, or arrange your hat under a peach tree, lest people think you are stealing.

An old man marrying a young wife is like a withered willow sprouting. By a long journey we know a horse's strength; so length of days shows a man's heart.

Let us get drunk to-day whilę we have wine; the sorrows of to-morrow may be borne to-niorrow.

If the blind lead the blind, they will both go to the pit.

Good iron is not used for nails, nor are soldiers made of good men. A fair wind raises no storm.

A little impatience subverts great undertakings.

Vast chasins can be filled, but the heart of man is never satisfied.

　The body may be healed, but the mind is incurable. When the tree falls the monkeys flee.

The tiger does not walk with the hind.

Trouble neglected becomes still more troublesome.

Wood is not sold in the forest, nor fish at the pool.

　　　He who looks at the sun is dazzled, he who hears the thunder is deafened. (Not come too near the powerful.)

He desires to hide his tracks, and walks on the snow.

He seeks the ass, and lo! he sits upon him. An illiterate person is like a dry inkstone. Speak not of others, but convict yourself.

A man who has a tongue may go to Peking.

A man is not always known by his looks, nor the sea measured by a bushel ̧ A gem is not polished without rubbing, nor is a man perfected without trial. Ivory does not coine from a rat's mouth.

If a chattering bird be not placed in the mouth, vexation will not sit between the eyebrows.

Prevention is better than cure.

For the emperor to break the laws is one with the people's doing so. Doubt and distraction are on earth, the brightness of truth in heaven. Punishment can oppose a barrier to open crime, laws can not reach to 'secret offenses.

　　　Wine and good dinners make abundance of friends, but in time of adver- sity not one is to be found.

　　　Let every man sweep the snow from before his own doors, and not trouble himself about the hoarfrost on his neighbor's tiles.

　　　Better be upright with poverty than depraved with abondance. He whose virtue exceeds his talents is the good man; he whose talents cxceed his virtues is the fool.

❤

Though a man may be utterly stupid, he is very perspicuous when repre- hending the bad actions of others; though he may be very intelligent, he is duil enough when excusing his own faults: do you only correct yourself on the same principle that you correct others, and excuse others on the same principle you excuse yourself.

　　　In making a candle we seek for light, in reading a book we seek for reason; light to illuminate a dark chamber, reason to enlighten men's hearts

If I do not debauch other men's wives, my own will not be polluted. Better not be than be nothing.

The egg fights with the rock;-hopeless resistance.

One thread does not make a rope; one swallow does not make a summer.

To be fully fed and warmly clothed, and dwell at ease without learning, is little better than a bestial state.

　　　　A woman in one house can not eat the rice of two. (A wise woman does not marry again.)

Though the sword be sharp, it will not wound the innocent.

Sensuality is the chief of sins, filial duty the best of acta.

Prosperity is a blessing to the good, but to the evil it is a curse.

　　　　　Instruction pervades the heart of the wise, but can not penetrate the ears of a fool.

The straightest trees are first felled; the cleanest wells first drunk up. The yielding tongue endures; the stubborn teeth perish.

Old age is like a candle in the wind, easily blown out.

The blind have the best ears, and the deaf the sharpest eyes.

　　　　　The horse's back is not so safe as the buffalo's. (The politician is not só secure as the busbandman.)

A wife should excel in four things, virtue, speech, person, and needlework. He who is willing to inquire will excel, but the self-sufficient man will fail Anger is like a little fire, which if not timely checked may burn down a lofty pile.

Every day can not be a feast of lanterna.

Too much lenity multiplies crime.

　　　　If you love your son, give him plenty of the cudgel; if you hate him, cram him with dainties.

When the mirror is highly polished, the dust will not defile it; when the heart is enlightened with wisdoin, impure thoughts will not arise in it.

　　　　　Do not consider any vice as trivial, and therefore practise it; or any virtue as unimportant, and therefore omit it.

A stubborn wife and stiffnecked sou no laws can govern.

He is my teacher who tells me my faults, my enemy who speaks my virtues He has little courage who knows the right and does it not.

To sue a flea, and catch a bite ;-the results of litigation.

　　　　Would you understand the character of a prince, look at his ministers ; or the disposition of a man, observe his companions; or that of a father, first mark his son.

　　　　The fame of good deeds does not leave a man's door, but his evil acts are known a thousand miles off.

The advantages of good laws are to be found only in their strict observance. A virtuous woman is a source of honor to her husband, a vicious one disgraces him.

　　　　'The original tendency of man's heart is to do right, and if well ordered will not of itself be mistaken.

　　　　They who respect themselves will be honored, but disesteeming ourselves we shall be despised.

The light of one star illumines the mountains of many regions, so one unguarded expression injures a whole life of virtue.

THE EMPEROR HIENFUNG.

The reigning monarch over the Chinese empire is the seventh emperor of the present Tsing, or Pure Dynasty. His reign com- menced Feb. 26th, 1850, on the demise of his father Táukwáng, but out of respect to his memory, the first year of his reign was not to be reckoned until Feb. 1, 1851. His majesty is in his 21st year, having been born in August, 1831. The words Hienfung mean Complete Prosperity, and have been selected for the style of his reign; it is called the Kwoh Háu, or National Designation, and is not considered as the personal_name of the monarch, but rather the name of his reign; though among foreigners it is usually used as the personal appellation of the monarch.

His present majesty is the 244th emperor who has ruled over the blackhaired race of Hán, during a period of 4702 years, being an average of 191 years to each monarch. The present is the 28th dynasty, and its first monarch began to reign in 1644.

Inaugural Proclamation of the Sovereign upon his succeeding to the Empire by the ordinance of Heaven.

　　　Our Great and Pure (Ta-Tsing) Dynasty has continued the subject of He- aven's most parental affection. Its mighty foundation was laid in ancient times by our great progenitors Tai-tsu and Tai-tsung: the whole of China was brought under the single rule of the first of the Imperial line: our other ancestors, the Sainted, the Immotal, the Exalted, and the Humane, each like his predecessor excelled in virtue, and shed an influence of renovation [upon men], increasing the glory of the Empire and blending its parts harmoniously together; and our late Father now departed, during the thirty years that he has held the reins of government, has sat late in his robes, and has eaten when the moon was past, diligently aiming at perfection of rule From his own distinguished merit, and the conduct of his statesmen, the Court commanded respect. The richness of his bounty extended to all parts of his dominions, insomuch that there was tran- quillity within and beyond their frontiers, and the black-haired flock was be holden to it for their happiness.

　　　Thus might it have been hoped that his illustrious years would be greatly prolonged, and that blessings would be continued to him for evermore; but on the afternoon of the 14th of the 1st moon, having appointed us his heir-apparent, he sped upwards on the Dragon to be a guest on high, and the [charge of the] spiritual vessel devolved on our insignificant person.

　　　When we called to mind our own insufficiency, profound was our fear that we should not be equal to the task, until we bethought us of the counsels be- queathed by the Holy Ones, and of the trust imposed on us by His Majesty, our late father; and as the Throne committed to us could not long remain unfilled, we put constraint upon the grief we so sincerely feel, and reverently obey the word that is passed. Upon the 26th of the 1st moon we shall therefore solemnly announce our accession to Heaven, to Earth, to our Ancestors, to the Spirits celestial and terestrial and the gods of land and the grain. Let the ensuing year be the first of HIEN-FUNG.

We look upward, hoping to continue what was admirable in our predecessors, and clasp our breast with feelings of awe and earnest solicitude. And whereas at the time of promulging our inaugural proclamation, our bounty should extend to all our kindred, all things that it is fitting we should do are stated in order below. This great bounty have we extended to our dominions upon succeeding to the Throne. Oh! then, do ye Princes and ministers, civil and military, aid us in the service we have undertaken, that we may add stability to the mighty Jine the succession of which has devolved upon us. Let each one give evidence of his fidelity, aiding us by his counsels [to the attainment of] perfection; that boundless blessings may be manifested to this realm for thousand million of years. Let this be published throughout the Empire, that all may be informed thereof.

The work from which these names are obtained is called Tsin-

shin Tsiuen-shú or Complete Book of the Girdle-

搢紳全書

wearers.

It is the Red Book of the Chinese government, and by an unusual coincidence with similar catalogues in western countries, has a red cover. It is published quarterly in four duodeci- mo volumes, with movable characters and combinations of characters, and contains the names of every officer down to magistrates chief clerks, according to the latest information possessed at the capital. An army and navy list is sometimes added in two thin volumes. According to the list, there are in the provinces, 11 governor-gene- rals, 15 governors, 19 treasurers, 18 judges, 17 literary chancellors, 184 prefects, 212 inferior prefects, and 1305 district magistrates; in all 1781. But in addition to these, the number of intendants, sub- prefects, deputy district magistrates or tso-táng, officers over town- ships, and special deputies, is more than as many more.

PRINCIPAL Festivals observed BY THE

CHINESE.

　　　　　Dec. 19th 1850-X[th moon, 16th day. Festival of Kwányin. She has three during the year, all of which are ɗɔwerved by the people.

Jan. 9th, 1851.-XIIth moon, 8th day. Ancient festival of the prince and his officers going on the annual hunt. Also of the Jülái Budha.

　　　　　Jan. 25th.-XIIth moon, 24th day. The god of the furnace ascends to heaven to report upon the conduct of the family to the Perfect August Shangti; hence people pay their adorations to that deity, and sié tsáu, 'thank the furnace.' This popular superstition, though not peculiar to any class, seems most closely allied to the Táu sect.

Jan. 31st.-XIIth moon, 30th day. All the gods descend to the earth. Feb. 1st.-lst moon, 1st day. Yuen tán, the first morning, or new year's day. The period of new year is almost the only time of universal holiday in Chins. Other times and seasons are regarded only by a few, or by particular classes-but the new year is accompanied with a general cessation from bu- siness. The officer, the merchant and the laborer, all equally dexist from work, aud zealously engage in visiting and feasting,-occasionally making offerings at the temples of those deities whose peculiar aid they wish to implore. Govern- ment offices are nominally closed for about ten days before, and twenty days after newyear; during which period none but very important business is transacted. On the last evening of the old year, all tradesmen's bills and small debts are paid and inability to pass this time of settlement injures a man's credit, and usually results in insolvency; while too, the custom, by compelling an annual settlement of accounts prevents many failures. This is perhaps the reason why it is called chú seik, 'the evening of dismissal.'

Feb. 2d.-lst moon, 2d day. Ché Tá-yuen shwái; a deified warrior. Feb. 4th.-Ist moon, 4th day. Leih chun terin, or festival of spring. This day, the period of the sun reaching the 15th degree in Aquarius, is one of the chief days of the Chinese calendar, and is celebrated with great poinp as well by the government as by the people. In every capital city, there are made, at this period, two clay images, a man and a buffalo. The day pre- vious to the festival, the chifű or chief city magistrate, goes out to ying chun, meet the spring; on which occasion childen are carried about on men's shoul- dern, each vying with his neighbor in the gorgeousness and fancifulness of the children's dresses. The following day, being the day of the festival, the pre- fect again appears as the priest of Spring, in which capacity he is, for the day, the first man in the province. Hence the chief officers do not move from hoine on this day. After he has struck the buffalo with a whip two or three timen, in token of commencing the labors of agriculture, the populace then stone the image, till they break it in pieces. The festivities continue ten days in soine parts of the country, but the degree of ceremony attending this

The rule is that the emperor ploughs three furrows; the princes five; and the high ministers, nine.

WEIGHT'S IN USE AMONG THE CHINESE.

In China, most unmanufactured articles are sold by weight, not ex- cepting liquids, wood, silk, cloth, grain, aud live stock. Grain is however retailed by measure. The minor decimal weights are used in weighing bullion, pearls, precious stones, valuable drugs, &c. There are three instruments for weighing, viz., the balances, steel- yards, and money scales. Balances are used for weighing large sums of money; standard weights made of brass, are furnished by the Board of Revenue at Peking, from 100 taels down to one cash. The steelyard is made of wood, marked off into catties, mace, &c.; the largest of them will weigh two or three peculs; it is called dutchin by foreigners, a word corrupted from tok-ching, to weigh. The counterpoise is usually a piece of stone; so common is its use, that no one goes to market without carrying a dotchin. The money scales are merely a small ivory yard like the dotchin, used to weigh money, pearls, and small things.

The chih (cubit, covíð, or Chinese foot) fixed by the Mathema- tical Board at Peking is 13.125 English inches; that used by trades- men at Canton varies from 14.625 to 14.81 inches; that employed by the engineers of public works is 12.7 inches, and that by which distance is usually measured is 12.1 nearly. At Canton, an English yard or má is reckoned at 2 chih 4 tsun, which makes the English foot equal to 8 tsun. The chih is reckoned in the new tariff at 14.1 English inches, which is about the average length of this measure in Canton; this rate makes the chẳng to be 141 inches, or 3†† yds.: the usual length of a cháng in Canton is a very little over 4 yds, though some of them are but a little over 11 feet. The foot-rule of tailors is called pái tsien chih, and the shorter one of masons chau tung chih. The cháng of these craftsmen varies according the chik.

The weights known among the Chinese are as follows:-

1 kernel of millet (→) is one

10 skú or kernels make one 紫

The money weights are liáng, tsien, fan, lí, or taels, mace, canda- reens, and cash, decreasing in a decimal proportion; the copper coin called cash is named tsien, because it originally weighed & mace.

POST-OFFICE NOTIFICATION.

Relating to Postage between China and the United States.

A Postal Convention has been concluded between Her Majesty's Govern, ment and the United States of America, under which it is agreed that the SEA POSTAGE ON LETTERS transmitted between the two Countries shall, in future, be fixed at eightpence the Half Ounce, whether conveyed by British or United States' Packets, and that such postage shall belong to the country by which the packet conveying the letters is furnished.

By this convention it is further agreed, that letters from British colonies and possessions addressed to the United States, passing in transit through the United Kindom, shall be delivered to the United States post-office free of all British Postage, whether packet or inland; and that in like manner, letters posted in the United States, addressed to British Colonies and possessions, and intended to pass in transit through the United Kingdom, shall be delivered to the British post-office free of all United States postage, whether packet or inlund. All letters posted at this office, intended to be forwarded through the United Kingdom to any part of the United States by British Packet, will be subjected to a postage of one shilling and eightpence the half ounce, instead of two shillings as heretofore; and upon such letters as may be intended to be con- veyed between the United Kingdom and the United States by packets belong- ing to the United States, the rate will be one shilling only, the half ounce (being the present charge from Hongkong to Great Britain), as the packet postage from England to the United States, as well as the United States inland rate, will be collected in the United States.

NEWSPAPERS addressed to, and received from, the United States, passing in transit through the United Kingdom, whether conveyed by British or by United States packets, are to be charged with a British rate of one penay each. For the present, all letters and newspapers addressed to the United States, will be forwarded from England by British packets, unless specially addressed "to be forwarded by United States packets.'

　　　　　It is to be understood, that the abovementioned rates apply only to letters and newspapers for the United States intended to be forwarded from Hong- kong vid Southampton; and that any correspondence vid Marseilles, will be liable to the rates of postage chargeable by that route from Hongkong to Great Britain in addition to the sea rate from the United Kingdom to the United States.

By order of his Lordship, the Post-master General, THOMAS HYLAND.

For extra accommodation, an additional sum will be charged. Passengers to England, desirous of remaining a month in Egypt, or at any of the ports en route, at which the Company's Steamers touch, will be allowed to proceed in the following steamers without additional payments, provided they give notice of their intention at the time of engaging their passage.

　　　The above rates include stewards' fees, and table, wines, &c., &c., for cabin passen. gers, with 3 cwt. of personal baggage. For servants and 2d class passengers, provisions without wines, and I cwt. of baggage. Bedding, linen, and all requisite furniture, are provided at the Company's expense, together with the attendance of experienced male and female servants.

No package of baggage should exceed 80lb. in weight. The dimensions most con- venient for transporting across the Desert on the camels, and therefore strongly recom- mended, are, length 2 feet 3 in., breadth 1 foot 2 in., depth 1 foot 2 inches.

　　　All heavy or Bulky baggage must be shipped on the day previous to sailing. Passengers taking articles of merchandise in their baggage will incur the risk of seizure by the customs authorities in Egypt; and as the allowance of baggage is on a liberal scale, and the freight on parcels moderate, it is hoped that none will convey parcels or pack- ages belonging to other persons, to the prejudice of the Company's interests.

The Company do not hold themselves liable for damage or loss of baggage, nor for delays arising from accident, from extraordinary or unavoidable circumstances, or from the employment of the vessels in H. M. mail service.

Extract from a Circular.

RESPECTING PACKING AND SHIPPING GOODS for England, By the P. and O. St. Nov. Co's Steamers.

The managing Directors have issued instructions to the Agents in India and China to afford every possible facility to the shippers of goods by this Company's vessels, with an anxious desire that such conveyance shall be made advantageously available,

.94

The Agents have positive orders not to receive on board this Company's Steamers, in future, goods that are not properly secured, to undergo the several transhipments between England, India, and China, as well as the transit across the Desert.

　　　Although the managing Directors are aware that great difficulty is always experienced in overcoming long-established customs and confirmed prejudices (more especially in China), they hope, by the cordial co-operation and assistance of the merchants here and shippers abroad, to render the conveyance of valuable merchandize by this route secure from damage.

　　　To effect this, the managing Directors suggest that silk and silk piece- goods be packed in bales; and whereas the inner coverings of these now consist simply of coarse white cotton, over which are several layers of thick paper, the outward wrapper being of thin matting only-they would further suggest that the under covering be wax-cloth, or some fabric impervious to wet; and the bale, in no instance, should exceed 100 lbs. weight, to insure dispatch with the mails through Egypt.

Supposing the silk piece-goods to be packed in cases, they should be more carefully made, and of much greater strength than those at present used.

The trifling additional expense, by the alteration of packing, the managing Directors believe would be more than amply compensated by the perfect order in which the goods would arrive; but to meet any objection that can be advanc ed on this head, the managing Directors are willing to allow two additional cubic feet to a ton for goods that shall be certified to be so packed.

List of Foreign Residents in China.

　　　　Errors will probably be found in the following list of names, but it is hoped they are not very numerous; it has been difficult to ascer- tain the names of those who reside afloat at the various anchorages, and many of them are probably omitted. The difficulty of making the list complete increases from year to year.

Abbreviations-Ca stands for Canton; wh for Whampoa; ma for Macao; ho for Hongkong; am for Amoy; fu for Fuhchau; ni for Ningpo; sh for Shanghái. P. c. and p. s. attached to a few names denote that they are police constables and police sergeants at Hong

kong.
