to the calm blue sky, and an expression of
mingled love and thanksgiving glowed upon
his pale face. Ile was much changed since
his illness. All his pride and sullen gloom
seemed gone forever. I had told him of
Linda's sympathy and l•+ce, and, as I es

A Cockfight in Panama
The day of our visit to Chepo happened
he on Sunday—a fact of which we were
constantly reminded by the incessant crow
ing of the game cocks, which were tethered
in the streets and little grass grown plaza
in front of the church, which was to be the
scene of their contests. Towards the after
noon, priests, in their canonical garments,
and sporting young gentlemen in white
trousers and shirts, collected there to back
their favorites and witness the sport. The
excitement seemed to have communicated
itself to the birds, And they flapped their
wing., us their owners caressed and admired
toem. The cock pit was a primitive ar
rangement; a number of logs of wood ranged
round a clear space about fifty feet square.
I was introduced to one of the most fashion
able and celebrated of the sporting charac
ters in Chop, a handsome young gentle
man of color, in spotless white, but without
shoes and stockings or coat, who informed
me that his cock was to be engaged in the
first match; and he secured me a good place
in the ring, which was soon crowded with
anxious faces. Then two men advanced
into the Centre of the ring with the cocks,
and after re,harpening the points of their
lung spurs, and \vetting them with lemon
juice, they set them two or three times at
one another to get their blood up, then let
them go, and the fight fairly began. 1
never saw anything equal to the excitement
of the spectators during the contest, which
was as bloody and disgusting as such exhi
bitions must ever be. Unable to retain
their seats, they dance about swearing and
cheering with frantic gesticulation. Every
time one of the unfortunate birds tried to
escape front his opponent. he was seized by
the backer, who, having previously filled
his mouth with sugar cane juice, plunged
• the head of the cock streaming with blood,
into it, and so succeded in washing his
wounds and refreshing hint fur a renewal of
the conflict. Then dispute arose us to which
w.ts winning; and the betting beenme fast
and furious, and the wretched cocks more
acharn , , as they almost cut each other's
heads elf. 'J'wice they were both so cx•
hausted as to be unable to raise themselves
to their legs; but their merciless backers
pre , •ed them unrelentingly to the contest,
until at last the one which to my inexperi

was stretched gasping and bleeding on the
, round and his opponent, getting on his

crow, and then tumbled head-over-heels in

form of certain barrels of potatoes. A third
fraction is yet to be gathered in the South
ern rice field. The limbs with which he is
then to walk, will be clad with flesh bor
rowed from the tenements of many stalls
and pastures, now unconscious of their
doom.
"The very organs of speech, with which
he is to talk so wisely, plead so eloquently,
or speak so effectively, must serve his hum
ble brethren to bleat, bellow, and for all the
varied utterance of bristled or feathered
barnyard life. Ills bones themselves are to
a great extent in posse and not in essc.
"A hag of phosphate of lime which be has
ordered from Professor Mapes for his grounds
contains a large part of that which is to be
his skeleton. And more than all this, by
far the greater part of his body is nothing
after all but water, the main-substance of
his scattered members is to be looked for in
the reservoir, in the running streams, at the
bottom of the well, in the clouds that float
ever his head, or diffused among them all,"
Priem!aux ItTSEII,,If IV.--11 - .! have
heard of two brothers, (their united ages do
not exceed 27, and their united heights can-
I not soar much above 5 feet 70,) who have
I gone into partnership at the West End.—
They have commenced operations at the
curlier of two fashionable streets. One is a
! Crossing sweeper, and the other is a Shoe
! black.. Their places of business are, you
Imay say, next dour to each other. The first
dirties, as though by accident, the boots of
I those Swells, who do not give him anything,
as they step over his crossing, and the sec
ond conies in for the benefit of cleaning
them. In this way, they play into each
!other's hands; and divide a considerabie
sum at the end of the day. Their system is
doubly sure, fur it is rare that a Swell gets
off uitbout paying one or the other. If he
escapes the broom of Scylla, there is the
brush of Charyadis that is certain to ho down
upon him at the next step. So liter:lth e I
has the partnership been, that we under
stand as much as a hurdy-gurdy, a monkey,
anti a cage full of white mice, besides a
central lamp-post, where a good penny
paper business is done, has been refused for
it.—Pun
Winows.—l must now call at
tention
to the monumental erections around ;
Shaoubing, particularly those south of the
city, and along the river bank; many of :
them being architectural ornaments by no
means disagreeable to the eye. They are
generally composed of two large square pil-
Ltre, standing erect and at a distance of six
or eight feet from one another, joined by
cross piece at the top, looking somewhat
like immense gateways without doors.—
These stone slabs are carved with figures
and inscriptions, and not unfrequently there
are huge ornaments perched upon the top.
They base been called though most inap
propriately, "triumphal nrches,"—but only
by foreigners (as Abel, in his narrative of
the embassy in the Court of Chinn) who
could nut have been aware of their use and
objects. The majority of them are erected
to commemorate the virtues of your/ zcid
nws, who, having unfortunately lost their
intended husbands, had continued to honor,
revere, and nourish their parents in-law as
they would their own fathers and mothers.
In western countries there are not a few
who, without disguise. express their abhor
rence at seeing a widow marrying a second
time. Chinese moralists, too, are strong in
condemning such conduct, and carry their
; prejudices yet further in binding, by the
vow of perpetual virginity, the girl who has
been betrothed at an early age, and has
! been bereft of her intended by death before
'the nuptuals could be consumated.—Nibm's
Lili ill China.
