A Chinese professor in a recent in terview accorded u Russian Journal, published in China, gives his estimate of foreigners, especially English and American. He says: “We are always told that the coun tries of the foreign devils are grand and rich, but that cannot be true, else what do they all come here for? It is here that they grow rich. Rut you cannot civilize them; they are beyond redemp tion. Wj They will live weeks and months without touching a mouthful of rice,but they eat the flesh of bullocks and sheep in enormous quantities. Thnt is why they smell like sheep themselves. Every day they take a bath to rid themselves of their disagreeable odors, but they cio not succeed. Nop do they eat their meat cooked in small pieces. It is carried into the room in large chunks, often half raw. and then they cut and slash and tear it apart. They eat with knives and prong*; it makes a civilized being perfectly neivous. One franeies himself in the presence of sword-swallowers. The. opium poison, which they have brought us, they do not use themselves. But they take enormous quaniiies of whisky and chanrqwgne.. The latter is very good; They know what is good, the rascals. It is because they eat and drink so much that they never rest. A sensible, civilized person does nothing without due consideration; but tnese barbarians hurry with everything. They certainly do not know bow to amuse themseves. You never see them enjoy themselves by sitting quietly upon their ancestors’ graves, Bridal Presents Come under the next special order of bus iness, as well as pleasure, and I hare made it a special order of my business to present to my Customers this season (he largest assort ment of goods in that line it has ever been my pleasure to handle.

HOW AN OLD MAN LEARNED TO READ. , An old man, at the age of sixty- three, was one day seen busily look ing out letters on a paper which had been placed tn the sidqot a store-house, for the purpose ot advertising dry goods. When being asked, What he was doing? he answered, “Trying to learn One Acre in Five. Hon. Pope Brown is one of the sue. cesstul farmers <t Geo.igia. Having Made this statement, it is hardly nec essary to add that he is not an all-cot ton planter, Mr. Brown has long since learned that the road to prosperity lies through the fields of diversified crops, land the successful farmer must produce at home the food crops upon which he and his animals can live. He is tints quoted: “I have no desire to dictate, but I firmly believe that if I could enforce the planting of crops in the south on the following plan for five years' time the farmers oi this section would be in dependent. I would cultivate fifty acres to a mule. This I would divide as follows: Seventeen acres in corn with old lied Ripper [teas in the drill, and ground peas in the middle ot the rows, seventeen acres in wheat, rye and oats, three acres in ground peas solid, one acre in in melons ana truck, one acre in potatoes and ten acres in cotton. After the oats and other grain that land could be planted in corn and peas, used as pasture or to make bay as desired.” The thing that surprises ordinary mortals is that the cotton farmer seems to read." “But why have you waited j so hoptlessly joined to his idol, Eyen till this age to start?” asked the store. ( it' lie resents the good advice which ha. kpeper. j been given him year in and year ont “I will tell you all about it,” said in the newspapers, along that line.it the old mat, sifting down on the steps, does seem that be would heed the conn* A crowd soon gathered around to hear sel of a practical farmer whose own Hancock street, is well kept, neat as a pin and has a large refrigerator for the preservation of meats.

My father died when 1 was small and my home was covered by the shadow of poverty. I have never been to school, and had no desire to learn to read until after my wife's death, which occurred about four months ago. I remember how she used to read her bible, and explain it to me. She said she never got lonesome for when she wag alone ‘the BiUe’ was her compan ion She used to tell me about Jesus and how be died tor sinners. But since she died 1 have been trying learn to read.” “Why do you not get a book?” asked one of tbe men. “1 have some books but ti>e letters are so small that 1 can hardly s<e them.” he answered. “But hoW nan you learn by your self? You have no one to tench you. “A little boy has just left me; he has been helping me, and lie says lie has a book with all the letters in it for tne. He is going to bring it to nt<* this evening, and lie promised to 1 me all he could. I shall soon learn to read,” the old man answered, smiling sweetly. The gentlemen were great’y moved by the story ot the old man’s sad fate, and they promised to furnish him books, and to aid him ail they could. 1 afterwards heard that old man learned to read, an ! one day while reading the story he loved so well, lie fell asleep never to wake in this troub lesome world again. 'The angels had borne his weary spirit to a higher and better world. Judging from t.he life this old man lived alter his wife’s death, being lone some was not the whole cause ot his strong desire to learn to read. He had heard about Jesus but he wanted to bear more, and lie thought that learn ing to read wus his only chance.
