31 There is, with the exception of ancestral worship, which is void of any true ethical value, no clear conception of the dogma of immortality," 22.-"All rewards are expected in this world, so that egotism is unconsciously fostered, and if not avarice, at least ambition." The upen avowal of a scifish motive in all acts of merit sometimes lends to curious results. In the month of April, 189, the prefect of Hangchow attempted to raise funds for the sufferers from the Yellow River floods, by levying a tax on each cup of tea soldin the tea houses of that great city. To the enlightened people of that ancient capital this assessment presented itself in a light similar to that in which the Bostonians of 1773 regarded the tea tax of their day. The prefect endeavoured to win the people over by proclamation, in which they were informed that "happiness was sure to be their reward, if they cheerfully con- tributed to so excellent a cause." The people, however, boycotted the tea-shops, and were in the end entirely viclerious. It is not every day that we are treated to the spectacle of a city-full of people banded together to resiat compulsory "happiness!"

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, MONDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1889.

The prosperity of the port is really 'dependent in a great measure on the tea business.

This port is certainly most unfortunately situat ed as regards the receipt and despatch of its mails. Dependent upon any chance steamer to bring up the inward mail from Hongkong, we are frequently kept without it for an unconscion- ably long time. Our latest written dates from London are 16th August, that is to say fifty days ไล ago, while they might easily have reached as thirtyfour days. It is nearly as bad with the outward mails, for their despatch is dependent in ke manner on the erratic movements of the southward-bound steamers, For the P. & 0. mall leaving Hongkong on the 9th instant, there, has been no opportunity of posting letters since the 30th ultimo; those who relied upon a later chance have, of course, missed the mail alto- gether.-Echo.

Of the strange intermixture of different forms of faith in China we have already spoken. That neither Confucianism nor either ofits co-religions is capable of "effecting for the people a new birth to a higher life, and noble efforts, is well recognised by the Chinese themselves. This in trikingly shown in one of their sables, the literary authorship of which we have not ascertained. According to this Confucius, Laotze and Buddha met one day in the land of the Immortals, and were lamenting the fact that in those degenerate times their excellent doctrines did not seem to make any headway in the Central Empire. After prolonged discussion, it was agreed that the reason must be that while the doctrines them. selves are recognised as admirable, buman nature is inadequate to live up to them without a constant model. It was accordingly decided that each of the founders of these schools of instruction should materialise himself, go down to earth, and try to find some one who could do what it was so necessary to bave done. This was at once carried into effect, and in process of time, while wandering about the earth, Confucius came on an old man of venerable appearance, who however did not rise at the approach of the sage, but inviting the latter to be seated, he soon engaged him in a conversation on the doctrines of antiquity, and the degree which they were at that time neglected in practice. In his discourse the old man showed such profound acquaintance with the tenets of the ancients, and displayed such vast penetration of judgmenting foreign money in their construction are that Confucius was greatly delighted, and after a long interview retired. But even when the sage took his leave, the old man did not rise. Having found Laotze and Buddha, who had been altogether unsuccessful in their search, Confucios related to them his adventure, and recommended that each of them should a turn visit the sitting philospher,

and ascertain whether he was as well versed in their doctrines as in those of Confucius. To bis unmixed delight, Lotze found the old man to be almost as familiar with the tenets of Taoism as its founder, and a model of eloquence and fervour. Like Confucius Lacise was struck by the fact that although maintaining a most respectful attitude the old man did not rise from his place. It was now the tarn of Buddha, who met with the same surprising and gratifying success. The old man still did not rite, but he exhibited an insight into the inner meaning of Buddhism, such as had not been seen for ages. When the three founders of religion met to consult, they were unanimously of the opinion that this rare and astonishing. old man *was the very one, not only to recommend each of the three religions, but also to demonstrate that the three religions are really one Accordingly they all three once more presented themselves before the old man, in company with each other. They explained the object of their previous visits, and the lofty hopes which the old man's wisdom had excited, that through him all three religions might be revived, and at last reduced to practice. The old man, still seated, listened respectfully and attentively, and replied as follows: "Venerable sages, your benevolence is high as heaven and deep as the seas. Your plan admirably profound in its wisdom. But you have made an unfortunate selection in the agent through whom you wish to accomplish this mighty reform, It is true that I have

Memorials on both heads have been sent in-on the latter subject by Kuang-tl-fang, an influential official, and on the former by comparatively insignificant indivi. duais. Without a large foreign loan, railways are impossible in China My prognosticati ns therefore have already been more than realised.

Confucius, Laotic, and Buddha sighed deeply, and vanished from the earth, and since that day no effort has been made to find a mortal who is able to exhibit in his life the teachings of the jhree religions.

A comparison has often been made between the condition of China at the present time and that of the Roman Empire during the century of our era.
