China and the United States.—Tbe Chinese que-Pi -n in its various phases, is growing in importance every day, and is now engaging the serious thought ard attertion of all clas-es of our people. N>t only have recent treaty stipulations, taken in connection with the completion of rail rood communication with our Pacific coast, placed us in important commercial relation? sxiti) this ancient empire, but the advent of large numbers of her people on our shores, the advance guard of multitudes who are to so low, is a matter now attracting wide spread and thoughtful interest and inquiry. Chinese immigration, and the introduction of Chinese labor into our country, are likely to affect very materially a large variety of interests among us. That the relations of capital to labor will be influenced thereby is certain. What changes will be wrought, and whether flu good or iil, perhaps cannot now be deter mined. Certain it is that the movement already inaugurated involves questions of far reaching importance appealing alike to the citizen and statesman. First of all the people want information with regard to the Chinaman ; his character, capacities, and adaption to our wants. This information we find very fully given in a volume just issued, entitled “China and the United States/’ by Rev. Wm. Speer, D. D., formerly M issionary in China and to the Chinese in California. We have examined this volume and find it a work of great interest, and especially full and satisfactory in the infer- I Avoiding errors of most works on China, which almost invar'ably devote a great deal of space to the Chinese mythology, instead of to toe living, breathing 'ssues comprised in the political and commercial relations of t >at interesting country to the outside world, the able and observing author in his work has succeeded in giving us not only a g >ud photograph of China as she is at present, but a most satisfactory sketch of Chinese history for the forty centuries of of existance that marvellous government has achieved. Moreover, there is nothing hurried or careless in the work, since there is hardly a topic which the inquirer into Chinese customs would wish to investigate, which is not discussed and described in this work. It explains the origin and causes, and traces the history of the rqpent changes in the foreign and domestic policy of this remarkable people, and discusses the ques tion of Chinese immigration, the character of the Chinaman as an immigrant, his habits and capacities. Containing besides nearly forty well executed lithographs, illustrative of life and habits there. The reader will rise from the perusal of this volume with the feeling that he is well p *sted in the history of a country and peo ple, every day filling more and more space in the world’s regards. Altogether it is a most timely and valua ble work, and undoubtedly will meet with an extensive sale. It is published by the National Publish ing Cos., Memphis, Tenn. And is sold only by subscription. See the advertisement of this work in our column of New Advertisements. M arriage Maxims.- The following “mar* raige maxims” are worthy of more than a hasty reading. Husbands need not pass them by, for they are designed for wives; ane wives should not despise them, for they are addres ed to husbands. The very cultivation on . ba lTMes of absolute unselfishness. Ne*er talk at one another, either alone or in company. Never both angry at once. Never speak aloud to one another —un- less the house is on fire. Let each one strive to yield the oftenest to the wishes of the other. Never find fault unless it is perfectly certain that a fault has been committed ; and always speak lovingly. Never taunt with a past mistake. Neglect the whole wcrld besides, rather than one another. Never make a remark at tbe expense of each other; it is meaness. Never part for a day without loving w *rd- t'» thmk *t dur ng absence. Nev r mee' without a loving w leomc. Nov«r let the sun go down upon any an gt r or grievance Novel- let any fault you have committed go by, u« til you have frankly confessed and aek*-d t<>r _ i-eness forget the happy hours of early love Never sigh over wha f might have been, make the best of what is. Never forget that marrioge is ordained of G' and, and that his blessing aloue can make it what it should be. Never let your hopes stop short of the ' eternal home.

TIIE STORY OF HIS SONG OF “THE BELLS.” I he following incident was related by a member of the Baltimore bar, who, at the time of its occurrence, was but recently admitted to praetiefc. The truta of tbe statement may be depended on, and even the Conversation introduced I give. I think, nearly word for word as reported to me. period referred to there were sev- fiifigle-etoried houses on the east side 1 of ot. Paul stfeef, between Lexington and Saratoga streets, each of which contained but two rooms. They were rather mas sively— -according jo present idea—con structed, of .brick, bttt have been for a long time displaced by tall and stately building, One of these single-storied houses was occupied by the informant. Tbe front apartment was occupied as a law office, the rear as a sleeping room. One calm and clear moonlight winter night, when the snow lay deep upon the city streets and roofs, Mr. was making pieparations to retire to bed, when the front-door bell was rung. He aroused his negro servant boy, who was nodding on his stood by the chimney corner, and sent him to open the door to the late visitor. The boy almost immediately returned, alone, lie said that nobody was at the door, but that a gentleman was standing in the snow in'the middle of tbe street, talking to him self and tossing his arms about. Air. now went to the front door himself. When he opened it he found one who was evidently a gentleman —he could see that by tbe moonlight—standing on the pavem tit facing him. ‘ IVas it you who rang my bell?” he asked. “Tes, sir,” was the reply. *T owe you an apology for disturbing you at an hour so unseasonable; but the fa<’t is, some thoughts have come into my head which I wish to commit to paper, and seeing a light in your back window” (the house 6t«>od upon the corner of an alley), “and consid - ng it a matter of course that a lawyer’s dfice is supplied with stationery, I took the lberty of ringing your boll.” “You are very, welcome, indeed.” said tie young lawyer. “Walk in, sir.” Tbe stranger followed him into the inner apvrtment, whore the bright fire was burn ing in the giate. The manner of this guest waiso impressive of intellect that Mr. offered him his bed; but the visitor only asked the use of a chair, tablo and writing materials. So tbe negro boy lay down upon his pallet on the floor, and the young lawyer retired to his bed, leaving the stranger bending over the table writing. When Mr. awakened in the morning his strange visitor was sitting in a chair, with his head upon the table, asleep. The motion made by the young lawyer on awakening aroused the stranger. The lat ter Seemed at once to be wide awake. He IVHpit'an*?}his seat, thanked his host for his his intrusif n ’ .T rut was thi»< abouMo previous rnght. He w You are forgetting your manuscript,” said tbe young lawyer, pointing to some paptr on the table. “I have a copy of what I have composed,” said th« stranger, “and leave the original with yiu as some acknowledgement of your kindneis under circumstances so trviog.” The stranger left. The lawyer did not know tntil a long time afterward, when the son; of “The Bell *—of which he still has tbe original —had been published and became famous, that his singular visitor was Edgar Poe. Strength of Memory.— The strength of Mr. Chiate’s memory was one of the most remark-ole things about that remarkable man. Le not only read everything, but he remembered ever Mb-mg he read, lie knew where tie bock was in which the desired infoqjaition could be found, the very page, and the precise location of the book in the library vhere it happened to be. While trying tie celebrated sewing-machine case before Judge Woodbury, I heard him re quest a friend to go to the Athenaeum am get him a volume of a set published by Chambe’R. The article he wanted was on the manufacture of silk. Lie described the set, the nora in which it was kept, and the very sp*ct io the library where it could be found. He wrote down nearly everything in a case that he could. Lhe act of writing fastened the thing in his memory, and it was ready for instant use. In the tiial of a cause be kept two sets of notes one ihe testimony, the other a digest and the argument. He was ready to argue a case the moment the testimony closed. lli| memory enabled him to talk on introduced. He was at homejjn the blacky letter law, knew familiarly the English law of entail, and could discuss of any nation as intelligibly as he could a common act of assault and battery. I with him from the court-house on celet,rated eulogrojA't.el'b^r/Dh/ mouth College. He had p CQn before the U.nited States Court, cate trial, the heat like that of a tropical climate. We went into the barber-shop under the Broomfield House, for he said, “I must be shampooed daily, or I should die.” Tbe eulogy on Webster, I think, was to be delivered on Tuesday. This was Saturday, and the intervening Monday was to be con sumed in the journey to Hanover. I said to him : “Os course your eulogy on Web ster is completed.” He drew himself up to his full height, and laying his hand on my shoulder, he said : “Mr. , as I live not a word of that eulogy is written.” Yet it was delivered as announced—delivered without notes, fully written out ami com juitred in writing, i knew one instance in which he completed his lecture at the office a short time before the train started that was to carry him to his appointment. He : loft 'he manuscript <*n his d ,j sk. and gave the lecture, he su'd, as near verbatim, as he desired to, and that without a scrap before him.

Thi following rules should be clipped and posted on the desk of every writer for pub lic print; !• Do not s«y, “I write in a hurry, please correct all mistakes/’ You have fen times the opportunity to do this that the editor has. 11 is time ia wofth from fifty cents to ten dollars an hour, and he will be likely to correct your errors bv fi* y>, and then they will never trouble any one any more. You must do your own work if you want it done. It is said that Newton wrote his chronolo gy over fifteen times before he was ?ati-tied with it, and Gibbon wrote out his memoir nine times before sending it to the press. No beginners ought to erfpect Letter success for less labor than such learned men. 11. Do not write poetry. Most who try, do not know what poetry is. and .they can not be fold till they have learned a great deal more than they know now. Niuefy nine one hundredths of the rhyme written is good for three things: 1. To give to f r iends who prize it for the giver’s sake. 2. It makes passable kindlings. #. It will bring about three cents & pound at the paper mill, to work up with old rugs. Write prose ;—poetic prose is far better than prosaic pootry. 111. Do not write long articles, or long sentences. Write as you would a telegram, where each word costs a dime, or an adver tisement, which costs a dollar a line. IV. Do not ask an editor to return your manuscript. Keep a copy. With a hun dred ietters a day to read, h * has som ‘thing to do besides hunting up last year’s manu scripts, received, rejected, and buried, or burned, long ago. V. Do not get angry because your first article is rejected. Quite likely if it is printed, you will live to wish it iiad been burned, or sent to the paper mill. The first pair of shoes a cobbler makes are not likely to sell very readily; and it takes more skill and longer practice to write good articles than to make good shoes. VI. Keep trying and sending on ; the practice will do you good ; and if writing is i‘a you it will come out. But if you cannot stand criticism, und rejection, and fault finding, you will make a poor author, and may as well know it at onco. The writer’s first article was rejected ; he kept it a while, sent it to the same paper agaiu, and it was printed. VII. Remember an editor may have a peek of better articles than yours is, which he wrote himself, and yet does not think them worth publishing, lie will do the best he can, consistently, by you. He is more anxious to enconrage good writers than you are to write. VIII. Do not expect a poor editor to set up a reading school, spelling school, gram mar school and writing school, for the benefit of those who have not improved their ’Whirrs "AJWBDKjTb* O your ignorance on an editor, and the won nonsense. Sftti id ilAt/f "uj) the type for your article. Every cent you save by using pale ink, poor paper, and writing carelessly because you are in a hurry, or writing finely, or crosswise, to save three cents’ postage, will cost the printer in toil, delay, and eye-sight, at least fifty times as much money as you will save, besides causing him to commit blunders for you to scold about. Do you wonder such article are rejected? I can write an article for the press in half the time I could correct such a one ; and I have often copied over entire pagtjs, rather than torment a compositor with illegible manu script.—Ex. Trip. Mason’s Grave —ln all ages the the bodies of Masonic dead have been laid in graves dug due east and west, with their laces toward the east. This practice has been borrowed and adopted by others, until it has become nearly universal. It implies that when the great day comes, and when He who is Death’s conqueror sh*Ql th« signal, his ineffable light sftall Joe first seen in^the east: that from the east he will make bis glorious appearance ; will stand at tbe eastern margin of those graves, and with his mighty power—that grasp, irresifftably strong, which shall prevail —will raise the bodies which are slumbering therein.

As usual, a clear case was proved against him, ana he was brought up for sentence. Pratt was abrupt in manner, rough in tone, and severe in expression. These traits were rather enha ced than mollified upon this occasion. He broke out with. “S'and up, prisoner at the bar. Prisoner, how old are you ?” • Fifiy-three years, five months, and twenty days,” was the reply The judge took * ut his pencil and figured | for a moment; then said ; “Prisoner, I sentence you to hard labor in the State prison fur sixteen years, six months, and ten days That brings you to seventy years, beyond which my jurisdic tion don’t extend.

A little fellow brought in from the streets was asked “Why were Adam and Eve turned out of the garden of Eden ?” 4 Because they sarsed God,” was hia reply. A little boy in the infant class of n.

Little four-year oM Carrie went with her aunt to church.

No man has music in his &o£fl who don't love babies. Babies wyjre made to be loved, especially girl ba- Jfes when they grow up. A man isn’t worth a ifhyuck who hasn’t a baby, and the same rule applies to woman. A baby is a spring day in winter, a hot house rose in mid winter; a ray of sunshine in frigid winter ; and if it is healthy, and good na tured, it is a bushel of sunshine, no matter how cold the weather. A man can not be a helpless case so long as he loves babies— one at a time. We love babies all over, no matter how dirty they are, Babies were born to be dirty. We love babies because thev are. haKioo. a« tbolr mothers were lovable and lovely women. Our love for babies is only bounded by the number of babies in the world. We always look for babies, we do, with anxiety and paternal affection ;we do, indeed we do. We always ! have sorrowful feelings for mothers what have no babies, end don’t expect; any. Women always look down-hearted who have no babies ; and men who have no babies always gamble, and drink whiskey, and stay oi t nights trving to get music in their i souls; but they can’t comd it. Babies are babies, and nothing will take their place. Pianos play oat, and good iiving plays out, | unless there’s a baby in the house. We’ve i we know, and we say there's noth- I ing like a baby. Babies are a productive ! subject, and we intend to talk more about babies in the future. We intend to tell our young friends if they want to be happy in this world they must bate a baby in tho | house—one of their own is preferable. Babies stimulate exertion ; they make a your.g man scratch gravel ; and in this view of the case, they are all the wniie laying golden eggs. A roan is hardly ever worth three red cents until he gets a wife and baby. They push him to it. Wh'le he is making enough for their support, he is sure to have something nver. There is only one woman in the town of Lost Trail, California, and her husband can’t sleep nights because so many men stand in front of the house and grate their teeth.— Western piper no. ;*>.
