The maiden consented, yet under the condition that the Chan would promise her implicit ohcdieuco to her com mauds for four days. She requested that lie would cat no food during that time. On tlie last day, she placed a dish of meat before him, and anid, “ confess, O Chan ! that nil thy treasures t rp not worth as much as this joint of meal!"— 1 he Chan was so struck with the truth of her ro- mark (hut he confessed tho truth of it, ackuow- ledL'od her as wise, married her to his son, and permitted her constantly to remind him to use his Left Eye.

Assam speaks Knglish, having been a Canton lea dealer, and, in that capacity, having had the advantage of con siderable intercourse with English and American merchants. Ilo knows but little, howover, of tlio interior of the country, nnd was totally ignorant of the late revolutionary movements against the reigning imperial dynasty. lie is, however, pretty we 1 ing Uu <' -<• in Califor nia lie ■•iftimatcs the number now iu that coun try »t no It ' than fitly thousand.

It grew out of an ar rangement between certain English spoon In tors in Canton, and thoir gangs of Coolies, hired at cer tain U 111 •!.- H«t*| ; J 4.I.. below the usual rates of wages for California labor. Tho cause of offence having boon removed, tho Chinese are permitted to come and go, or remain, without let or hindrance j and they seldom gitro occasion for trouble, from their peaceable, tracta ble, and sober habits. Tho white rats of San Franci-co are a Chinese importation, and they swarm through the city. No place iu the world i-,, perhaps, blest with a greater number and varie ty of rats First, there is the gray wharf rat, originally from Norway, hut now common tho world over; then there arc the black and blue rutt peculiar to Cali fornia; and last though not least, the white Chi nese rat. This abundance and variety of ruts, no tluiiht, contributes to make Nun Francisco so very attractive to the Chinese. Bin it is duo to them to say, that with plenty of lidi and rice, or even ol ro.tal hoof and plum pudding, they aro general ly disposed to leave the monopoly of sugar-cured rat-* to thu Mandarin*.

As an evidence of what they can do in tlio way of architecture, wo are informed that Parrott’s building in San Francisco, of one bundled feet front, seventy or eighty feet deep, und fou r stories high, all ol solid granite, was put up in Canton, block by block, by Chinese workmen; and tho blot ks being all numbered, the building was then taken down, pul aboard ship, brought across the Pacific,say ten thousand miles, nnd re 0rooted in San Francisco by the same bunds. 'Puking our tmup'' of jugglers as an average sample of the Chin- ••.ftn*y are evidently,as compared wilhany oi im* European stocks,an inferior raco of peo ple. They are small honed, feeble bodied raco, the men being slender for their height, aud dark as Choctaw Indians, with awkward high check boms, angular eyes, largo ears, set Inglt upon their beads, and fiat noses—the whole fucial con formation being fur interior in dignity and strength of character to that of the North American In dian. The Chinese women, on the other hand, aro of a much lighter complexion—their features softer and liner, with a very striking expression of amiability ami gentleness ; while their limbs nro delicate, and their forms round, graceful and well developed. The tricks of this troupe in the arts of legerdemain, are Oriental, and somo of them arc exceedingly well done. Alter tho circuit of the principal cities or the United Stales, they pro pose to visit Europe. The double-jointed dwarf is their greatest curiosity, und next to him g.itd their peculiar articles of dress, and the rich- lure and high finish of some of thoir silken Chinese robes. But a glance at those people in the lump is certainly calculated to dispel the delusive idea of the elevation of China to our standard t f civili zation, short of a thousand yours to UftStlirriNG a Dog’s Kuddek.—A veteran tar, who had served Lord Vincent many years in tho capacity ol a Boatswain, on getting pan exertion, was appointed by the latter in grateful memory of Ins former conduct, a kind of sub gardener at bis native villa Jack had not long been in the posses- of Ii is new post, when ho perceived overy morning, on walking over llto gardens, that sev oral ol tlio beds were pawed about, und tlie bor dors destroyed, indicating by the marks tho atoul- thy visits ol some canine wanderer. Jack immediately communicated the nowa to his Lordship who concurred with him in opinion us to its cause and advised him U» go to the garden a lew hours earlier iu tlie morning, and give tlie intruder a warm welcome. Jack accordingly did SO. I filling himself in the shrubbery, he soon es pied a long lean dog, between a pointer and a mastiff, spring upon the garden wall, and jumping into the garden, began running about, kml explor ing, with a degree* of activity and keenness, llto depths oi a strawberry bed.

This we do without conforming to tho law and customs of this nation in regard to marriage, be lieving it to be an affair exclusively our own,and that to others, whether of friends, Church or State, have aught to do or t ay in the matter.

SVoll, the upshot ol it is, you have a delightful lingering at tack of heart complaint.—Fanny Fern. The New York Times attributes the following to a Lynn shoemaker. It is a beautiful and con soling truth: 1 One ol the young tnon said something in tho conversation against women. ‘ Young man,’ said he, ‘ 1 have lived a good while in this hero world, ami I have soon a good many things at one timo or t’other. And l liavo observed tins bore fact— give mo a family, with a father as bad as Hell wants him—and that’s protty bad—a cussin, drink- in, fightin’ chap—and a mother who’s ono of yor woman bring up Iter children to pnry—it*i not touch ‘em to say U'v soon aa they kin talk, ‘Our Father in Ileavon,’ and let her bo a gwino oit • very day in this here way, and 1 have kind a’ noticed that they uint like the faythor. They tiro very apt to turn out well! Don’t yo think so!’ The Q.UAKBR and Parson.—A Quaker that was a barber, being Httcd by the parson for tithes, Yea and Nay went to him, and demanded the rea- l on why lie troubled him, as ho had never had any tlBalings with him in his whole life. “ Why,” says the parson, “it is for tithes." * For tithes," says the Quaker, “ I pr’y friend on what account ?” “ Why,” says the parson, “for preaching in the church." “Alas, then,” replied tho Quaker, "I have noth ing to pay tlioc; for 1 catno not there." “Oh, hut you might," says tho parson, “for the doors arc always open at convenient times;” and thereupon said ho would be paid, seeing it was due—Yoa and Nuy thereupon shook his head, and making several wry faces, departed, and immedi ately entered his action (il being a corporation town) again*’ the parson for forty shillings. The parson, upon notico of ibis, catno to him, and very holly demanded why lie put such disgruco upon him, nnd for what he owed him Ihe money. “Truly, friend,"replied the Quaker,“for trim- “For trimming,” said tho parson, “why, I was never trimmed by you in my life.” “Oh! but thou might’s! have come and been trimmed if thou hud’st pleased, for mv doors are always open at convenient times as well as thine." pr’ytheo A wife cannot mako homo comfortable who ‘dears’ and my Moves’ and ‘pets’ her husband,and don’t sew the buttons on his shirts, or the tapes on his drawers. An Interesting Scrap of History.—The Washington correspondent of tho Pennsylvanian states that during Hie proceedings at the Coloni zation meeting a few daycago, tho Hon. Charles F. Mercer stated, us an extraordinary fact, that the act of Congress, of 1807, in relation to the slave trade, provided that re-captured Africans, whenever our navy might overtake them, should be taken into tlio nearest port of this country, and there disposed of according to the legislation of the state. Georgia passe J a law that the captives should be sold ; one-half of tho money to go into (lie State, und the other half to the captors. And this, loo, under the pretext of abolishing the slave trade. Georgia was asked to abate tho law, but she refused. Subsequently, however, a law was passed by Congress to roturn such captives to their native land,and ono hundred thousand dol lars were appropriated for carrying the law into effect. Mr. Monroe was at tho timo President of the United States, aud employed a gentleman to superintend the plan ; tints, In effect, relieving the Colonization Society of tho expense of an agent. So, Mr. Mercer insisted, that Mr. Monroo in fact, established the first colony on tlie coast of Africt, —Liberia—and in honor and acknowledgment of this, its capital was called Monrovia. Trick Upon Legislators.—A baso trick has been played upon the Iowa llouae of Representa tives, in tlio manufacture of a petition for count? subscriptions to railroad stock. Tho subject had been fiercely contested, and was on tho verge of a negative » • tsion, by one vote, when, behold u pe tition six feet long and containing nt l«’ti*t a thou sand names, was presented, instructing Mr. hoi- Rom, Senator from county 1 and the most ac tive and influential debater against the obnoxious law, to vote in favor of it. Mr. F. felt bound by such an apparently unanimous mandate and ac cordingly recorded Ins namo for the bill, and car ried it by otic vote. It turned out that lire petition bad been “ fixed up" for the occasion, the names being those of the petitioners for funds for the Ce dar county bridge, last season, and the heading ultored, so to refer to rail road etock. Of course, f ignaturcs were genuine and the mistake was not discovered until after the vote was decided. Tho perpetrator of this forgery has not beeu discover ed.
