One day, on reaching the mill, I saw the oldest b«»y standing upon a rock, partly hidden by the iwliage of the sur founding trees, fishing, and as often as he felt a nibble lie would jerk his line as alrttefully out of the water as though he bore the little fidi some terrible grudge, and wanted to pay it by twitching the r heads off. I asked him why he did so, and explained as well a* I w as able the best modes of taking such fidi as made the bllhr tln-ir home.

Marriage, which forms the basis of domestic life, has lieen careffllTy and minutely regulated f»y 'Chinese legisla tion; afiff ft is deeply impressed with the character of domestic tyranny that is found bi ttle manners of all nations placed Ofrt of the influence of Christian! ty. in speaking of the rites and cere monies observed in the celebration iff marriage, have alluded to the despolft: authority oT parent* over their children ; thfls it is not the future wedded pair, hut their respective fitui'ie* who nmke the Gist advances, fix the wediing presents, arrange the articles of the con tract, etc. All theta preliminaries are adjusted through the intervention of third persons, who serve as go between*, and haggle-shout the price of tb* mar riageable merchandise. When the bar gain is concluded, Ihe parties are uffi anced. If either family afterward re fnse to rat Ty the ouatract, its ehief is condemned to receive fifty strokes wiib the baiultoo. and the marriage is order- ltd to take place. In cases where there has been no contract, the acceptance or the presents is considered as sufficient evidence of the cooeeut of the Contract ing part?*. It is thus easy to conclude a marriage Without at all consulting the peraous ■host interested, blit this is otily the CUse with the first marriage. The father of a family eaanot erttopei a non who has bhUOnie i widower to uiarry a second time, under penalty of eight strokes of the bambrio. II between this betrothol and the mar riage the relations of the bride promise her hand to another, the head of the family receives seventy strokes, dr eigh ty, if she hud been already presented and approved. Be who should accept a promise of marriage, knowing that ue- gotations were begun with another, would also receive eighty blows; but iu cases where either party can be proved to have l>een guilty of theft or adultery, the contract becomes null and v- 'id. The Chinese law point* out certain circumstances as obstacles to the forma- lion of an alliance. There are absolute hindrances, or mere retaliatory obsta cles. I* is forbidden to marry during Ihe-Hide fixed bv law for tlie mourning ttf a fiitlier,a mother, dr a husband. A marriage eontraeted nnoer these eircum- stances is not only declared null, hut punished by a hundred strokes of the bamboo. Th" marriage contracted daring the tnminmg fdr a grandfather or grand mother, an uncle or an aunt, nn elder brother or elder eister, remains valid, but Vs punished, nevertheless, by eighty blows. A widow who has VeceiVed froth the Emperor shy distinction of rank during the iife of her husband, is punished by a hundred strokes if she marry again, besides being degraded from her rank, and separated from her itew husband. Marriages cbritrileteu between persons bearing the same family name, with any one concealing hun-elf on ace 'll St of sne cri'he, of with actors or musicians, are in themselves nuli and void, and the delinquents are punished by a certain aumlier of strokes uf the (umboo. One of the consequence* ot the man ner in which marriages are made in China is the divorce, not merely for de terminate causes, blit by ihutdal edn- s.-nt. It seems natural enough that persons who have lieen Ota filed without Wing consulted, shell 1,1 have at least the permission to s -parale if they cau not agree. The husband niay repudiate his iwful wife for (he following range-, some of which appear rather whimsical : sterility, immorality, contempt of the husband's father and m ither, propensi ty to slander or to theft, a jealous tern per, or habitual itl.-heulfh. nearer, and beard thebe Wdhis from the boy's lips : ‘Oh, good Father in heaven ! help me to help my**IT.

After his conver sion he forsook hi* old haunts and com- Jianlrius and was without work for thir teen weeks, during which time his wife and children stiff-red the extreme of poverty. On the last day his wife had divided her remaining piece of hard, dry bread between their two children, and they were sitting opposite to each'other contemplating their future ifl blank des ()a!r. The th -•tight occurred to \\ right to go out and steal ; this brought the tears to his eyes* lint hi* wife encour aged him to hold out against the tenife Utlon, saying that ‘A critst with Christ was bettoVlhati the wlniie wrirlii without Him.’ Her faith was rewarded almo-t on the instant, fir a friend called w.th the gooff lie6s licit he liaff got work for him.

Two of these sin gut if eflWHalrtrileiits have been given the first to the men, Ihe second to the Woiiien, and ou the whole, the meetings have been orderly, ulth'-ngh, perhaps, no very great impression was produced on the audience. The peculiarity of the scene was that none but those who had been actually convicted of and puuislnxl for theft were admitted, snd all poleice men were carefully excluded. But visi tors were admitted, into the gallery, and it m.ty be questioned whether this was it wise thing; it may have prevented the outspoken manifestation of feeling which; nevertheless, many found ditficiil (y in restraining.
