In the prefecture of Husining Fa, to the district of Puchik Halen, lived a young Magple. True he was young, but he was very intelligent, and in the Magpie eximisations he had come an so well that though only an entered graduate, he was undoubtedly in very high feather over success. Upon his return after the spring trial of wit and learning, he was so much in good humour with himself, that he was ready to take command of any gathering of Magpies that might be assembled for any purpose whatever. It was at this time that a circumstance attracted bis attention, which he had either never noticed at all before, or only dimly and at a distance, A family of Foreign Devils moved into the neighbourhood, from nobody knows where, for nobody knows what, and they bad even gone so far as to build two or three houses, as if the whole country belonged to them to do as they pleased with. Although not so very unlike some Chinese dwellings, these buildings had one fitai peculiarity, lacking in all well regulated Chinese houses they had huge windows filled with panes of glass, which the young Magple had never seen before, and which he did not at all like. Now that he was become so much of a chameter, owing to his entrance into the class of Magpie tarati, be|dome- felt that this was not to be endured without a protest. Accordingly, he collected as many of his comrades as he could, and cawed to them his views of this state of things, Are we to
