CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS.

THE ABSENCE OF SYMPATHY.

Attention has already been directed to that aspect of Chinese fife, which is comprised in the term Benevolence, the very first of the so-called

·Constant Virtues. There is, however, another point of view, from which this matter may be laken into consideration; Benevolence is well wishing, Sympathy is fellow-feeling The Chinese are often benevolent, though when judged by

so. It has heretofore been remarked that the apparent motive for a large percentage of Chinese benevolence is the reflex benefits which such acts are expected to ensure to the man who

indulges his benevolent impulses. In giving prominence to this motive, we are. nly following in the footsteps of the Chinese. In some of the books which have for their express object exhortations to virtue,' an account is opened, in which the individual charges himself with every bad act which he can remember, and credits himself with every good act. The balance between the two exhibits his standing in the account books of the Chinese Rhadamanthus at any particular time. This system of setributive book-keeping exhibits clearly the practical character of the Chinese, so often remarked, as well as their constant and irrepressible tendency to consider the next life, if there be one, as only an extension and an amplification of the present state of existence. This view of the future Tile is Buddhistic, and however vague and inadequate it may be it is far preferable to the pure agnosticism of Confucianism, which not knowing life, does not profess to know about death, or the condition to which it is

present object, having premised that as already explained the Chinese do practice a certain amount of mild benevolence, is to illustrate the proposition that they are conspicuous for a deficiency in sympathy. One of the manifesta- tions of this characteristic of the Chinese, which earllest attracts our attention, is their attitude

deformed. According to the popular belief, the lame, the blind, especially those who are blind of but one eye, the deaf, the baid, the cross.syed, are all persons to be avoided. . It appears to be the assumption, that since the physical nature is defective, the moral nature. must be so likewise. So far as our observation extends, such persons are not treated with cruelty, but they excite very little of that sympathy which in western lands is so freely and so spontaneously extended. They are looked upon as having been overtaken by a punishment for some, secret sin, a theory exactly accordant with, that of the ancient Jews. The person who is so unfortunate as to be branded with some natural defect of some acquired blemish will not go long without being reminded of the fhet. One of the mildest forms of this practice is that in which the peculi arity is employed as a description in such a way as to attract to it public attention. "Great elder brother with the pockmarks," says an attendant In a dispensary to a patient, from what village do you come ?" It will not be singular, if the man whose eyes are afflicted with strabismus, hears an observation to the effect that when the eyes look asquint, the heart is askew"; or if the man who has no bair is reminded that "out of ten bald men, nine are deceitful, and the other would be so also, were he not dumb". Such. freaks of nature as albinos form an unceasing buti for a species of cheap wit, which appears never for an instant to be intermitted. The un- fortunate possessor of peculiarities like this inest resign himself (or herself) to a lifetime of this trentment, and happy wiil he be, if his tempera. ment admits of his listening to such talk in per- petual reiteration, without becoming by turns furious and sullen.

and stare at her. In other regions, the cha unmarried girls find it a source of keen enjoy. ment to post themselves at a convenient position, as the bride passes, to throw upon her handfuls of hay seed or chaff, which will obstinately adhere to her carefully oiled hair for a long time. Upon her emergence from the chair, at the house of her new parents, she is subjected to the same kind of criticism as a newly bought horse, with what feelings, on her part, it is not difficult to imagine.

.

The whole family life of the Chinese illustrates their lack of the quality of sympathy. Net one parent in fifty has any care what his children are about, when their helpis not need in work. Few, fathers have the smallest thought as to what their children are learning, if they are at school, or ever think of visiting the school-house to ascertain. This is one of many reasons why it is so common to find persons who have been years at school, who cannot read ten consecutive characters taken at random. Sometimes pupils spend two years in what is miscalled study, and do not get through the Trimetrical Clássic While there are very great differences in different households, and while from the nature of the case, generalisation is precarius, it is easy to see that most Chinese homes which are seen at all are by no means happy homes. It is impossible that they should be so, for they are deficient in that unity of feeling which to us seems so essential to real home-life. A Chinese family is generally an association of individuals who are indissolubly tied together, having many of their interests the same, and many of them very different. The result is not our idea of a home, and it is not sympathy.

The deep poverty of the masses of the people of the Chinese Empire, and the terrible struggle constantly going on to secure even the barest subsistence, have familiarised them with the most pttiable exhibitions of suffering of every conceivable variety. Whatever might be the benevolent impulses of any Chinese, he is from the nature of the case wholly helpless to relieve even a thousandth part of the misery which he sees about him all the time, misery multiplied many times in any year of special distress. A thoughtful Chinese must recognise the her futility of the means which are employed te distress, whether by individual kind- nes government interference. All these

The first sight of blood the birth of male children in so vital a matter, it causes a sinking of the epigastric nerves, and is not surprising that the fact of childlessness is makes an indelible impression.
