foreign lands funerals may be expensive, -in China the burial of a parent often costs the savings of a lifetime. The writer know's of one instance where the sons sold four fifths of the land they cultivated, besides mortgaging the homestead, in order to provide a fitting burial Shanghai............ for their father. This is an extreme case, but other instances illustrating the Chinese love for displaying' filial piety or acquiring a reputation for it, are not wanting. We cannot recall a single instance where the funeral expenses of of parents were not out of all proportion to the means of the family.
The same tendency to extravagance is noted in the case of marriages. An unwritten but unchangeable law prescribes certain presents to be made, guests to be invited, how the bride shall be brought home the feist, &c. This is one of the millstones-bondage to custom,

The memory of the youth seemed stirred as their weird voices fell on his ear, and no the beckoned, he made a movement towards them He looked towards Bsian-li who sat silent. "What would you do?" she presently aske "With me you have set forth, and with me you must remain; and if the greatest joys of the world you would obtain, you must follow me." When they reached the shere a. fish-shaped chariot, and a horse held by a groom, were awaiting them. The lady entered the charior and the youth followed on horse-back. Proceed. ing thus for several miles, and passing through glades of bamboo and rare trees, they reached a rough and mighty river, whose opposite shore was beyond the eye. The youth thought that here their journey must cease, for no boat, on which they might embark, was visible, when suddenly the boat which they before had used appeared and advanced towards them with great speed. The youth expressed his astonishment that though sails and bars were complete, no one was on board. Hsiang-li informed him that this was the thousand-li boat" of Chu Ch'ung-chib, which could make its way against wird and stream with the speed of an arrow. Was propelled by two wheels which revolved when touched. Futering the boat, the large sail of twelve widths of cloth rose gradually of itself. Away they sailed and in a little while the embattled walls of n city came into view. The lady printing said: “ Yonder lies the city of Icy Jade, which Lu-O-'hua governs. She is now nbsent en worldly affairs, and has entrusted her cily to my care. I hring you. here that when you return to the world you may recognise a face which is connected with your destiny." They entered the city, the streets of which were clean and in good order, All doors were open and out side the different houses were tables spread with sacrificial viands and incense, and all prepara- tions attached to the reception of an eminent personage were apparent, which Hsiang-li in- formed him were made to do him honour, In the south-east of the city rose a towering building like the residence of a prince, which was called the "Palace of Clustering Pearls," into which Hsiang-li led her companion. Countless female attendants were ranked on either side as they entered, and pressed forward with respectful | enquiries when they were seated. A repast was prepared, and Hsiang-li and the scholar pledged?he destruction of the poor is their poverty, ie, Hongkong Observatory, 15th June, 1889. each other in wine from precious cups in greatest delight. On the wall hung a picture of a face of ravishing beauty, which Hsiang-li told the lad was the likeness of his future bride, and cau- tinned him to study it attentively that he might recognise the original when he met her. The youth remained in the "Palace of Clustering Pearls" for three months, happy in the extreme, in the reciprocated love of Hsiang-li, till one day straying in the grounds, he observed a stork alight."My match-maker," be exclaimed, it behoves me to shew it my gratitude." Hearing the voice the stork advanced and crouched beneath hir, rising with him as before, and in a twinkling set him down in front of his home. His friends were surprised and alarmed at his eudden appearance, and sakl that for three years, though they had searched and enquired, they had bed no tidings of him. He gave a history of his adventures, but was not believed. "If," they said, "you have been among the fairies, you | In Europe and America pawnbroking establish. must have acquired some mysterious arts or the | meats are common enough, particularly in the power of changing your form; or at least have brought back seme precious taken to convince ur of the truth of your story." But the scholar could not satisfy them--for even his clothes were the same he had worn when he disappeared-No firms are more "solid" or more respected and they regarded his stories as the utterances of a dreamer, till finally he grew doubtful him- self. Still his scholarly attainments had become very great, and in composition and poetry he had no need to exert himself. In the spring he took his first literary degree, and the following year became Master of Arts. Different families now sought unite their daughters to him, in marriage, but he rejected all overtures. My destiny" he would say, "has long since been settled. L 0-hua is to be my bride, and I am already pledged to her. The fairies will not deceive me in the spring flooding the inalto inent of his second degree, he set out for Peking to go up for the third, but while journeying through Shantung, his cart was overturned and bis arm seriously burt, which compelled him to stay at an inn wher, vexed and disappointed, he con- fined himself to his room. One evening an offi- cial travelling with his family applied for lodging for the night. The landlord was preased for room to accommodate so large a party as this was, and as the scholar occupied the best room and he did not like to ask ́him to vacate it, he was discussing the question with his servant, when he was overheard by the scholar, who made light of so small a matter, as he considered it, and changed his quarters to a room opposite, sepa. | rated from it by a email open space. In the morning when he stepped forth bis gaze was transfixed, when, in the females who issued from his late room, he saw the same forms and features of the maids who had sung so weirdly to him in Fairy-land. In the afternoon as the party was leaving, the scholar recognised the features of Lü O-bus in the daughter of the official who was being conducted to her carriage, surrounded by her maids. The bystanders were enraptured at her beauty, and exclaimed. "How can such charms belong to a mortal?" Greatly disturbed, the scholar male enquiries secretly, and learnt that her 'surname was Sun, and that the came of an influential family of Lu Cheng, "and was now proceeding to Feking with her father, who was an Imperial Censor.

Few have any idea of the extent to which the Chinese tun in debt. Fewer still know what this load of debt means.
In Kalgan it is common for the farmers to sell themselves short of grain in the fall, and buy the following spring, Having nothing to pay with, they contract to pay for the grain between the time they buy and the time they pay, plus interest on | this numat from three to five percent, each month!

than the great pawn-broking establishments; and as to the numbers who frequent them, it is safe to say that first or last the majority of the people are their patrons. Such a stalement may seem large. Take a single fact! We knew a city of not more than 70,000 inhabitants in which there have been for years some three or four small pawn-shops. Last year another firm came in, and possessing a large capital, built great warehouses. Five months after they || opened their doors they had issued over seventy thousand pawn tickets. Since then the same rush of business has continued. They are new buildings in which to store the goods received in pawn; yet these are coming in so fast that the new buildings cannot be erected in time to receive them. The dock at the articles put in pawn. In the open courtyard they had stacked up thousands of boes, left of course by the farmers. Of the 70,000 persons who had pawned articles. at this shop, the majority came from outside the city. But when it is remembered that there were three or more pawnshops doing a flourish- ing business at the same, we come to realize the extent of the traffic, and, as an index of poverty, how widespread and severe it is among the lower classes. Thirty-six per cent in the interest charged by this firm per annum. All articles are to be redeemed within two years or forfeited. In good years eighty per cent of these articles are redeemed. But in bad years, the number of articles redeemed is sometimes less than one- hall-Chinese Times.

Recovering at length, the scholar made his way with all haste to the capital and took his degree, after which be despatched a suitable negotiater to the Censor asking for his daughter in marriage. The Censor, not approving of the offer, declined, with the excuse tha she was already betrothed. Deeply affected, the scholar lost all interest in life, and bis health and spirits filled him. His old pursuits no longer gave him pleasure, and he shunned the convivial unions of his companions, who knowing his trouble, sought to make him forget it. At length one day he was induced to accompany them on an excursion to a temple. He was here accosted by an old gentleman clad in fur and wearing s yellow coloured cap, whose easy manner bespoke him a person of consequence. 'Learned Sir," said he, addressing the scholar, why this gloomy and unsatisfied appearance?" and point ing to a stork which was near the pavilion in the grounds of the temple, continued: "If you would be united to your betrothed, despatch yonder stork as your messenger and you will Hot fail to attain your desire." "If," replied the scholar, agitated at hearing these words, "you, Sir, who are acquainted with the occult learning, and know the story of my pant, will assist me my gratitude shall never cease," "Couple with a piece of jade your feelings in writing" said the stranger. The scholar, taking a peri, wrote a verse of twenty-eight words timeER
