We were happy and led sample lives; but, by bringing to ns what yon may call the 'benefit* of civilisation/ the Jananeee will destroy onr traditions and onr he- reditary virtues^ oonfu*** onr customs and mode of living and make as like them- selvMii, smibrions, restlesn and eager for oonqnests. And what will we gain by that? *' Ton fancy that the Chinese are ig- norant, poor and wretched, bnt yon must remember that happiness exists in the idea that one forms of it In other words, a man is happy when he believes himself happy, when he confines his de- sires to the few joys which are within hie reach. The peasant who eats his rice at the close of hi* days work is satis ned with hi* fate, provided he keeps hie eyes away from the riches of others and closes hie heart against a^veUmsness The evil sent:meets of envy, jealoosy and social hatred have never yet pene- trated our population. I assure yon that yon wrong the pcx<r Chinese. They are gentle, mild, good humored, bonest, scrupulous, loyal, sympathetic and char- itable. 44 You may have read the account of certain cruelties and barbarities, but they belong to the laws of war, which are equally barbarous in all countries. In a condition of prace, when their quie- tude is- not disturbed, the Chinese are of marvelous Ivnigifity, which in only equaled by the gentleness of their wive*. I fancy that I know the Parisian ladies, but I d» ii\t hesitate to gay that the Cliine>e woir.r:i are superior to them. 4 -i '-^&ais^£Mm!^mi^mmM^m^-, y^^^-^^c^Mjrsagm^msjm^mt^' fe^ „J~ '~l~\-;*. %i «wrmaL : 3i**£*< fbr Infants and Children.

Genius almost al- ways runs out in the third or fourth generation. Yon cannot tnd in all his- tory an instance where the fourth gen- eration of extraordinary people amount to anything. Columbus from a weaver's hut, Demosthenes from a cutler's cellar, Bloomfied and Missionary Carey from a shoemaker's bench, Arkwright from a barbers shop, and he whose name is high over all in earth and air and sky from A manger. Let us all be content with such things as we have. God is just as good in what he keeps away from us as in what he gives us. Even a knot may be useful if it is at the end of a thread. At an anniversary of a deaf and dumb asylum one of the children wrote upon the blackboard words as sublime as the \Iliad the \Odyssey^* and the \Di- vina Commedia\ all compressed in one paragraph. The examiner, in signs of the mute language, asked her, \Who \Tjgjh the world?\ The deaf and dumb gflpwrote upon the blackboard, \In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.\ The examiner asked her. \For what purpose did Christ come in to the world?'' The deaf and dumtrjiirl wrote upon the blackboard, \This is a faithful aaying and worthy of all accep tation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save ainnera.\ The examiner amid to her, \Why wen yon born deaf and dumb while I hear and speak ?\ She wrote upon the \blackboard \Even so. Father, for so i t seometh good in thy sight\ Oh. that we might be baptized with a contented spirit!

If Mother Nature be of a truth kind, as we are taught to call her, sure- ly she is far from justified of all her children of her human children least of all perhaps. Did not Plato say that \of all wild beasts a boy was the moat savage?\ And is it not true? I have a friend who tells me that at his school the boys used to catch black beetles and make them run races the length of the dorinit* »ry. If a beetle showed a remark- able turn of speed (it was beautifully simple), they would handicap him by pulling off a leg. It makes one sick to think of it. , And this was a natural instinct. JNa- ture does not regard it—the individual is nothing to ber, whatever he be to na- ture *s (rod.

They are nature's children and inherit from their mother. We will not think the worse of them, if we can help, though of course we must blame them. We will be eon- tent to think' worse of the grownup children who have come to years of reason and yet follow instincts of cruel- ty which they should have outgrown, say the man who \browns\ a covey or fires at a pheasant at 60 yards. —Long man's Magazine.
