The Rev. John Ross, who has followed the mistionary business with head-quarters at New chwang for some time with a good deal of success, on retiring from the field of mis labors, has is ued the following valedictory address :

As so much has been said about the antagonism to missions and missionaries of hinese authorities and literary men, I think it may not be uninteresting to know that in this alter also there are exceptions. In the large city of Moukden which is, in proportion to its size, perhaps more crowded with officials than It is only for the Ruler to decide on the policy any city in China, my experience would not war- to be pursued..

THE STORM IN AMERICA.

GREAT LOSS OF LIFE,

-The London Times publishes the subjained telegrins

PHILADELPHIA, March 17th

As the country emerges from the snowdrifts the reports of disasters and loss of life increase. Over 200 persons have perished. The fiercest effects of the gales were in and around New York. As the workmen dig out snowpits corpses are found in them of persons frozen to death, standing in the streets where the snow overcame them. Twenty-one lives are already reported to have been lost in New York, 24 deaths in and near New Jeracy, four near Ralitan, seven at Newhaven, and 26 in and near Fairhaven, Connecticut.

fucius then said-Is he like that? is he really like Hereplied---I do notcomplain of Heaven, I do not discrimination, and no better way to secure such most painful tale is sent from Crisfield, Mary-

that?

"A jubilee every year would become a weariness."

Section XV.

Though men say Tseng Wu Chung did not put pressure on his Sovereign when he took advantage of his being in possession of Fang to get his succession in Lu confirmed, I don't believe them.

1

"A request bas the appearance of a threat if made when you are in a position to threaten,"

Section XVI. Duke Wen of Tain was crafty, but not upright;

Duke Huan of Chỉ just the reverse.

"A note for his history,"

Section XVII.

}

Tro-lu saying that Kuan Chung falled in his duty because he did not die with his master, as Shao-hu did when Duke Huan had his brother Chin put to death, Cenfucius said-He was the best of men, the very best. It was through him Duke Huan brought all the princes into union without using a soldier or a chariot,

"He saw his higher duty was to live, much as he wished to die."

Section XVIII

Tee-kung saying Kung-chung was not a man of virtue in that when Duke Huan caused his brother Chiu to be put to death he did not die with him, but even joined Huan, Confucius said- He joined Duke Huan, and was made President of the feudal princes, and the people to this day reap the benefit of the regularity he brought into every department of the State. Without him we ourselves should be barbarians. Would you have had him imitate the fidelity we hear of in vulgar life, where husbands and wives hang or drown themselves because their consorts die without the world even knowing of it?

Your duty to the world is more important

even than your duty to your prince."

Section XIX.

The Tai-fu Chien, who had been a Minister of the Kung-shu Wen, took his place, among the nobles at Court beside his former - master ; Confucius when he heard of it, said-He will be Wen himself one day.

"A pun on the word 'Wen, which means scholary.

Section XX. Confucius, inveighing on the viciousness of Duke Ling's conduct, Chi-hung said-How is it he does not come to grief? Confucius replied How can he do so with the Chang-sha YuaD AJ Grand Chamberlain, Predentor To as Director of the Temple, and the Wang-san Chin as Captain of her armies ?

Section-XXXVII- Confucius saying-Alas! No one knows what1 really aut; Trechung asked him what he meant blame mankind my learning is that of a humble man, but it reaches high. It is only God that knoweth what I am.

"Confucius felt he had a mission, and yearned that men should recognize it.”

*

Section XXXVIII. ·

When the Kungpo Linn brought his false accusation against Tze-lu to Chisin, the Kungpo Tro-fu in speaking to Confucius about it said-If you are disturbed in mind about it, remember I have power to have him hung up in the market place. Confucius replied-If my doctrine is to make way it is fated to do so; if it is to fall to the ground it is fated to do so. What can Lino effect against the wish of Heaven?

"Confucius scorned earthly protection,"

Section XXXIX & XL. Some men of worth hase given up the world, some have given up their country, some the enjoyments of life, some their very doctrine.

I could name seven who have done so. "Yet none of these should, under ordinary circumstances, be abandoned.""

"Section XLI.

One day aş Confucius was playing on the musical stone a man carrying a basket passed the door and said-The man who plays the King does so because his heart is heavy; foolish fellow, to go on grumbling like the people, give broad Is your worth is not recognized, give up and have done with it. If the ford is deep you must lift your clothes to the neck, if it is shallow you raust lift them to the knee. Confucius hearing, said-Really, there is no difficulty in that.

Troubles must come, and with them worries."

Section XLIII Tie-chung remarking that Kao-trung ls said in the Bible to have said nothing during his three years' mourning for his father, Confucuis said Why say Hao-taing only in olden times if was always so when the Emperor died the various Secretaries transacted the public business for three years under the orders of the Prime

Likewise a few other places are noted for scenes connected with the lives of the different suges. Strange to say, amid all that large number, the city of Yen-chew-fu is not tbus noted. The prefecture is thus noted, but not the city. For the officials and gentry of Yen-chow-fu to raise an objection to missionaries, because that place is the home of the Sages, is assuming an honour that does not belong there,

But secondly, the city of Yen-chow-fu does not even possess one important family properly to be classed among the gentry. The man who has been the most active in stirring up trouble Is only of the first literary degree. In the district of this city, living quietly in a retired village, is a man who is popularly called a saint, for different, members of his family have been accustomed to help all the poor that came to them, and to this day the name of this family is better known throughout the Province than the Rame of any Governor. It is needless to say that this family has raised no opposition, stirred

Three thousand men and 1,000 horses, carts, and trucks have worked throughout the night in New York clearing a passage through the centre of Broadway, where the snow lay from 6ft to tot deep, and also to the ferries. Among the troubles of New York is the inability the cemeteries for funerals, and 500 corpses have accumulated unburied throughout the city. Attempts were made to break a passage into Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn, where roo bodies await burial. After hours of work a passage was made of 300 feet to the receiving vault, but it was impossible to reach the graves In many cases funeral services have been conducted, but the corpses remain at home.

Railway travelling is partially resumed and the routes are opened between Philadelphia and New York, with the general relief of snowbound passengers..
