CHINESE MIND.

·A GLIMPSE OF ITS VAGARIES.

SOLUTION IMPOSSIBLE.

I do not propose to guide you through the maze of the Celes- tial mind, or, to unravel its tortuous knots, but rather to give a glimpse of its vagaries and peculiarities; to attempt to solve the Chinese mind is impossible.

veneer.

Courage and cowardice, cun- ning and temerity, kindliness and cruelty, are all components of the Chinese mind weighted down with apathy and fatalism; yet withal he is generous and courteous, and hates any kind of trouble and disturbance. He is not very amenable to the pretty restrictions and rules as laid down Ţîn civil law, whether they are his own or those of another country and in which he happens to be
