In particular it is considered that endeavours should be made to succour such non-combatants (whether neutral or belonging to one of the belligerent nations) as by reason | of their proximity to the seat of war are in danger or distress." That the claims of the Society have not been more strenuously urged on foreigners in Nort China is due to the noble liberality of the Chinese, who have contributed to date no less a sum than four hundred thousand taels to the funds of the Society, in the letter from the chairman of the Society, Mr. F.

Bail-room conversation is apt to be scrappy except for those who are sitting out. The very young think all is waste-time when they are hot dancing, and they scorn the staircase and the other expedients of the more mature. But, even so, strange discoveries and whiffs of con- versation were horas to pas in the mazes of the valse. We heard how a serious man, whose education had been neglected, had taken lessons in dancing that he might be able to dance with a merry slip of a girl who had danced from her cradle. It was his first exhibition of the acquired art, and it left much to be desired; but we may be sure that in her hands he would soon achieve the necessary ease and agility. Then one heard, What, for the Gith time! but whether a dance or a proposal for life one could not tell; and then in another low voice, "1 have discovered your secret." Chaperous were supposed to have but a dull time of it, but it seemed to me that the air was electric with intimations and res ponses.

His large repertory was laid before them and he was skilful in making suggestions and remembering favourite pieces. We went to the piano to thank him for his music and to ask for some new valto, but were horrified at his appearance. His face was ashen grey, his mouth drawn, bis hollow eyes were ringed with black as from pain and sleeplessness. "Are you not well, Mr.Z? Can we get anything for you? Can we do any thing?" He looked at us with a faint smile. "No," he said; "nothing, My wife's dead. She died this morning. I have left her on the bed at home." He shuddered. "We have only been married a year. I had to come out to-night. I wanted money to bury her." He bowed his head, and the sensitive long fingers, plunged into the measure of the "Blue Danebe.”
