THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1889.
The truth is that the phenomena of "Chinese" life are of a contradictory character, and whoever looks upon one f ce of the shield, ignoring the other, will infallibly judge erroneously, and yet willnever come to a perception of the fact that he is wrong. The union of two apparently irrecon- cilenble views in one conception is not an easy task but it is often a very necessary one, and no where is it more necessy than in China, where it is so difficult to see even one side completely, not to speak of both." In illustration of this proposi- tion, let us for a moment revert to the subject of Confucianism, judged by the crucial test of its results. Intellectually it has been the vital principle of the Chinese people, without which they would not have been the Chinese. great T'ai Tsung," remarks Dr. Williamson, the founder of the Tang dynasty, said that the precepts of the sages were for the Chinese what the water is for the fishes." Confucianism has unified the language, the thought, and the race. It has developed a nation of keen intellectual

Her reply had a significance for those the fact that whereas other - nations who have been confronted with disagreeable have depended upon physical force, the moral phenomena which others, from their Chinese bave depended upon moral forces, superior stand-point, dispute. "Well, I would No student of history, no observant traveller not believe it if I were you, but I have got to I who knows human nature, can fail to bë im pressed to the point of deep awe, with the thought of the marvellous réxtraining power | which Chinese morality has exerted upon the race from the earliest times until now.." It would be hard to over-estimate," says Dr. Williams, "the influence of Confucius in his ideal princely scholar; and the power for good over bis race which this conception has ever since exerted."-| "The immensurable influence in after-ages of the | character thus portrayed, proves how lofty was ‡ his own standard, and the national conscience has ever since assented to the justice of the portrait." "The teaching of Confucianism on human duty," anys Dr. Legge, "is wonderful and admirable. It is not-perfect indeed. But on the last three of the four things which Confucius, delighted to teach letters, ethics, devotion of soul, and truthfulness--his utterances are in harmony both with the Law and the Gospel. A world oidered by them would be a beautiful world." The entire freedom of the Chinese classical works from anything which could debase | ability, able as we have already remarked to the mind of the readers, is a most important | hold their own with any other race now on the characteristic, which has been often pointed out, planet. We are constantly surprised and and which is in the greatest possible contrast to delighted by the rapidity, accuracy and apparent the literatures of India, Greece, and Rome, "No case with which some.

But still it is education, and that may not be read aload in any family circle in enables them to use their minds, the true end of England. Again, in every other non-Christian. education. The mind of an educated.

But as long as it remains upon personal responsibility of the emperor to Heaven that track it moves with an east and a power for the quality of his rule; the exaltation of the which is truly wonderful. Nor is this intellec people as of more importance than the ruler tual force confined to those who are educated. the doctrine that the virtuous and able (Asien. As the writer just quoted has truly remarked, it neng) should be the rulers, and that, their rule is very common to meet with nhle men among must be based upon virtue'; the comprehensive the coolies. The minds of women in China theory of the five relations of men to each have been totally neglected for countless ages, other; these points have stood out like mountain the insignificant exceptions only serving to peaks from the general level of Chinese thought illustrate the dense darkness which has prevailed, and have attracted the attention of all observ. thick darkness that might bẹ felt.

In closing what we have to say of the the ordinary Chinese women have well-balanced Chinese, we wish to place emphasis upon the and practical minds, and it is a very common moral excellencies of the Confucian system, for phenomenon to find women virtually at the head It is only by priting those excellences in their of the entire establishment, dominating their true light that we can hope to arrive at any just husbands by sheer superinuity, of mental ability, comprehension of the Chinese people.

The Confucian Classics are the chart by which the rulers of China have endeavoured to navigate the ship of state. It is the best chart ever con- structed by man, and perhaps it is not too much to say, with Dr. Williams, Dr. Legge, and athers, that its authors may bave had in some sense a divine guidance. With what success the Chinese have navigated their craft, and into what waters they have sailed, in what direction they are at present steering, these are questions of capital Importance, now that China is coming into
intimate relations with other states, and seems likely in the future to exert an influence increas- ingly great.
It has been said that "there are six indica- tions of the moral life of a community, either of which is significant when they all agree in their testimony, they afford an infallible test of ita true character. These are (1) the condition of industry; (3) the social habits; (3) the position of woman and the character of the family; (4) the organisation of government, and the cha racter of the rulers; (5) the state of public educa- tion; (6) the practical bearing of religious worship on actual life."

The combined virtues of the Cod Liver. Öll and Hypophosphites produce a marked effect in such cases. They restore the wasted tissues, create an appetite, make new blood, heal the inflam- mation of the throat and lungs, and increase the Resh.

In the discussion of the various characteristics of the Chinese which have attracted our notice, each of the foregoing pointa has been inciden tally illustrated, albeit incompletely, and with- out that observance of proportion necessary In a full treatment of these topics. In a survey of the Chinese character the field of view is to extensive that many subjects must be passed by altogether. The character Jatics which have been selected are intended merely points through which lines may be drawn to aid in outlining the whole, Every reader will be able to suggest many additional characteristics which ought to be included in fall presentation of the Chinese as they are. Mr. Meadows, the most philosophical of the many writers on China and the Chinese, expressed the opinion that the best way to convey to the mind of another person a correct idea of the genius of a foreign people, would be to band him for perusal a collection of notes, formed by care- fully recording great numbers of incidents which bad attracted one's attention, parti cularly those that seemed at all extraor dinary, together with the explanation of the Extraordinary parts, as given by natives of the country. The greater part of the illustra Live incidents which have been herein before cited fa exemplification of various. 'characteristics' of the Chinese, have been mentioned because they appeared upon examination to be typical.
