Jaw become at an early age a "ne'er do weel," and the substance of his dead friend wasted in "slotous living" by the prodigal on. Being unsuccessful at first, on account of the strenuous objections of the widowed mother of his daughter's fiance, the future father-in-law, a butcher by trade, resolved, Micawber-like, to wait for "something to turn up" when he expected to be more successful the next time in breaking off the ill-starred match, Four years ago the prodigal, having indeed squandered away everything left by his defunct pro- genitor, emigrated to the Golden Gates of Frisco, leaving his widowed mother to struggle on alone. Alter waiting for two years, and still no sign of the return of the emigrant, and bis daughter having arrived by this time at the age of "sweet seven- teen," the old butcher(nowretired) again bronched the subject of his heart to the prodigala mother, using the specious argument that as there had been no news by letter or report from returned émigrants of the whereabouts or existence of her son, the chances were that be bad either fallen a prey to grim death, or, warse still, was now a slave in the Peruvian
whence there was plantations, from
but little chance of his return to complete the the marriage contract. This argument being further backed up by the more powerful one of the almighty dollar," the widow asschted but, as the story goes, most reluctantly. How ever, having once attained his end, the old retired butcher was not the man, to let the grass grow under his feet, and so within a fortnight alter the compact with the widow releasing his dau hter had been made, the merry gongs and brazen-throated trumpets dinned forth their cracked voices to welcome the guests to a marriage feast at the butcher's house. The old man had accomplished the desires of his heart and had gotten a son-in-law to his own liking, the happy groom being the eldest son and heir of a wholesale pig dealer.

about the ears of the old man; but the old retired butcher just knew what he was about, and by the payment of a sum large enough to obtain for Asing two wives, if required, peace was made, and Asing having married another girl last week, has moved his blushing bride and widowed mother to this colony where he has an office in one of the large "Nam-pak" hongs of which he is a partner.
HANGCHOW
(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)
Hanochow, October 19th, The continuous rains are doing immense damage to crops in Chia-hsing, Hu-chow, and Hangchow, the three northern prefectures of Chekiang Province. In the Hu-ch w region the water of she canals stands a half foot deep in the houses of some of the market towns, and over 'most of the rice fields are several feet of water. The country drains from Hungchow, northward through Hu-chow and the Tai Hu, or Great Lake and how the flood in the Yangtse affects the Tal-hu, I do not know, but in the Hu-chów plain the waters for some days has been moving very slowly, and now they are rising still higher.
In Hangehow their is much unrest among the farmers; and the mandarine are anxings. Anonymous placards have been posted by someone, at the risk of his head, running as follows:-

Co-day's Advertisements,
Another year passed, and still no sign of the prodigal's return. Then one quiet eventful night, last year, as the silvery orb of the brilliant Harvest Moon came emerging from the dark- some line of the distant base of the horizon, -shedding its refulgent rays upon the ripe golden
atalks of rice as they swayed gently to and fro to The people want the Governor to go to the the evening zephyr, changing the dusky gold Heavenly Bamboo Temple beyond the Western into silvery sheen, there CRITIC rush of Lake, and worship Kwan-yin the Buddhist pattering feet across the stone-paved court-"Virgin," but the Governor is said to have yard of the pig dealer's house, and several declined on the ground that the "Virgin" was dark forms could be seen running at full made of mud and praying to it would not stop speed towards three different points of the com- the rain. pass. A short time passes by, and three rustica bring back in hot haste as many old bags whose trembling and tottering limbs are forced to their utmost limits by the stalwart rustic pigherds as they almost drag the old women over the narrow country footpaths towards their master's dwelling house. The old women once across the thres hold, the clang of bolts and bars could be beard by anyone listening, and then dancing lights Eould be seen flitting from window to window.
A pause, then if one were particularly sharp of hearing he dare not go too near the house for fear of the savage wolf-like watch dogs patrolling the pig dealer's yard-the faint sharp cry of a new. bom babe could be heard disturbing the repose of the silent night-air. The old hags, summoned in such hot haste, were nothing more or less than the village midwives, and the sharp wailing cry Just heard came from the tiny throat. of our butcher's grandchild,—and so anotherman- child was born to the world to live, suffer, and then die, as, it has been the lot of mankind from the beginning of time. The pig dealer's and the butcher's were happy households the next day ar the report was given out that "all was well," But while the respective families kept on the even tenor of their ways in peaceful monotony, the old widow kept on mumbling her prayers | AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN LLOYD'S STEAM daily for the safe return of her prodigal son, and occasionally visiting the temple of the "Queen of Heaven" the patron saint of Chinese mariners and wanderers on the earth-to place a candle or two and a few sticks of incense at the god's shrine, praying the deity that itmight be granted her to set her old eyes once more before she died on her son, prodigal and unfilial though he had been. While then the old retired butcher lay
alumbering in fancied security that his grondom
son-in-law's bones were rotting away perhaps on the Sierras of Nevada, or better still, bleaching, under the ficice rays of a South American sun, the old widow's prayers were being answered and a mine was about to be exploded under his long google-ridden nose. Oneday last September as Pacific Mail "liner" steamed into the azure colored harbor of Hongkong, the returned prodigal could be seen bending eagerly over The steamer's bulwarks earnestly scanning the distant horizan and the hare-covered hills that stretch down to the home of his childhood, aye, and the home niso of the blushing bride, awaiting the wanderer'e return. Visions of an earthly Elysium filled Asing's breast and a smile child- like and bland beamed on his face for many a minute. But his appearance, the orthodox prodigal of holy writ should have been thin, Altby and unkempt and in rags, with a face ike a batches whereupon should have been written the delineating marks of starvation, deceit, and recklessness, with husk-porridge. encrusting the lower part of his physiognomy and on parts of his be-draggled raiment. But, not Asing, the returning prodigal son, bore in him none of those scriptural likenesses, but was won derfully unlike them. Asing should have been 'mistaken for a wood chopper, but be bore e Jaughable similarity to a certain Harvest Moon last year; his clothes should have been in tallered rags, slowly but surely rotting away, but in reality they were of fine broadcloth, and on his face beamed forth oily contentment and boisterous good nature. Taken as a whole, Aving was fat, stubby, and asthmatic, as a proper returned emigrant should be, with plenty of golden "double-eagles" inside the lining of the waistband around his tub-like belly. Asing made no stay at Hongkong, but hastened back to the west gaio of Canton city, -bis ancestral home-and as he gently lifted the latch and peeped within the now dilapidated room, saw his widowed mother, bending her face, wrinkled and yellow as a seared feaf of Autumn, over a bundle of prayers, repeating "after each Buddhistic formula the prayer for her
