BEAUTIFUL HAND.
Surb beautiful, beautiful beads I
They're neither white nor small;
And you, 1 koow, would seareely think
That they are fair at all.
I're looked on bands whose form and baa
A Sculptor's dree, n.lgbt be
Yet are these aged, wrinkled hande
Most beautiful to mo.
Suah beaut ifal, beautiful hands)
Though heart were weary and cad,
These patient hands kept toiling on.
That tbe children might be glad.
I almost weep, aa, looking back
To childhood's distant day,
I think, bow these bands rested not
- When nine were at their play.
Bat, ob I beyond this shadow-lamp.
Where all ia bright and fair,
I know fall well these dear old hands
Will palms of viotory bear.
Whrre crystal streams, through endless days,
Flow over golden sands,
And where tbe old grow young again,
I'll ciaup my mother's hands.

in almont every lOnceivable way, and
it ia vory rare indeed to find even an
individual who in wholly free front the
taint. ' . .
Like many other pooplo, the great

blo mnturiala, it ia not very uririaing
that, in a climate where everything ia
oa dry aa tinder during a greut portion
of tho year, their auporatitioua aiiathy
ia olleu the cauao of tearful connagra
tionn. The Chineae stand in much awe of
evil HtiiriU and uunninitioua influence
and conaoqnentl y are great believer in
the efficacy of chamia, and pay con
stant attention to omena.
Aa a mlo, whatever ia red ie thought

reading tho t'hinene clnaaiea, marks the
atntia with red ink, ho ia thouirbt to
adopt the surest means of warding off
evil trom liimaoll. I or a similar reason
parents commonly put red in some
fonn or other on their children, some
time even braiding red silk into their
unintuitive queues.
The Yi-ching, or Book of Changea,
one of tho Five Canonical works, and
the Ta llaio, or Urcat Learning, one of
the r our nooks, are bold in high es
teem as charms against wicked spirit,
especially if nut under tho pillow or
placed near the bed at night: and anv
one who ran repeat long quotations
from tliem when walking alone never
need four molestation tjx)in the other
world.
A common charm in Ainu'liea ia the
"money aword." This ia usually obout
two foot lung and i constructed of
three kinds ot things, each of which ia
rogartled oa a nrottx'tion atruiimt evil
apirita: two iron roda which fonn the
boaia of the aword ; about a hundred
enppor coins, either ancient or modern
(11 ancient so much the better), which
are ingeniously fasUiiied on these rods,
concealing thorn from view ; the coins
are tied on the outside of the roda by
means of red cords passed through the
square holes in their centers. Hwords
ot this kind are suspended at the heads
of sleeping couches and beds that tho
supposed guardianship of the sover
eign in whose reign the coin was issued
may koep away ghosts and evil apirita.
They n chiefly used in house or
rooms where persons have committed
sntrlrle or sitflVfcvi a rloletit drmth, and
sick people sometimes resort to them
in the hotie of hastening their recovery.
Their cfllcacy is no doubt fully equal
to that of a horse-shoo nailed over a
door, or any of those Infallible dovicea
formerly adopted in thia country against
witches and ghosts.
A stHX'ies ot silver padlock, called the
hundred families' lock," 1 considered
a wonderful talisman fiir warding off
evil spirits tram a child, and, as it were,
locking him to hie. This charm de
rives its name from the way in which
it is obtained, for the f kther of the boy
goes round to a hundred different fami
lies and begs from each a small snb-
scrintion, and he cither buy the silver
padlock or elae haa it mode from the
silver be has collected, lie also pro
cure a small silver chain or ring, which
is placed round tho child' neck and
litstcned ny tho padlock.
Early iu the morning, at the begin
ning of the fifth mood, Chinese families
oHon "nail up on each side of the front
door and windows of the house a few
leave of tho woct flag (acorn gram
incus) and tho artemisia. The leaves
of the swcot flag are long and slender,
tapering to a point, and resembling the
general shape of a sword." The object
is thus to prevent nil manner of evil
from entering the honso, and to fright
en evil spirit generally away from its
neighborhood.
A charm called the "wanling-off-evll
coin" is in frequent use among children,
lioing hung from their necks or button
holes ; it ia mode of copper or Iron, and
may he round, oblong or hexagonal.
Both sides generally bear pome char
actors with a felicitous meaning, such
i happiness, riches, etc., and sometimes
one side has on it the twelve animals
which denote the horary characters, or
the periods into whirh tho Chinese di
vide the day.
The Chinese lanirtiaie altounda in
word and phrases which are looked
upon as omens of good luck.
Tho Chinese unicorn is in ponular
use a an omen of good. This animal
is described aa having only one horn,
with a body all covered with scale.
ror several thousands of years it ha
eluded th vision of mortals excopting
once, when It is stated to have been
soon by Coullioiu in his old ago. Ho
regarded it as ominous of hia approach
ing death ; and they say that Coiifucitia
wo Ui "ell ol the unicorn ; hence,
herhttpa, tho origin of the saying that
an extraordinarily bright boy is "the
son of the unicorn," or "the gift of the
unicorn."
Bat (which tbe Chinese call "foi
shoo", or flying mioe) are considered
good omens and frequently appear a
emblems of luck on various articles ; the
magpie is also looked upon a a bird of
Coinen, and if a Chinaman, when
id about some occupation, chance
to hear it cry he think, it a presage
of good luck, it being a eheoriul sound,
and, therefore, so to puok, a note of
encouragement. The Chinese, how
ever, have proverb respecting the
HMft'iv, vim. "lui Tuievj in gtnju uui ilp
heart i bod," the meaning of this being
that it is ariven to flattery. The com
ing of a dog to family 1 an omen of
uiure proertty, but a oat I thought
to indicate the approach of poverty, for
it i uippoem! that it can foresee where
it will find plenty of rat and mice in
oo'iusmpirjnue uT e Louse tolling lata dc
cay. Crows generally an looked upon
a very unlucky ; but there is a kind of
while-necked crow which is held in
great veneration in China.
The orowlng ef a ben I thought to
be ominoni of something nnusnal being
about to happen to Ka owner; but in
this case th omen i aot neoetwarily a

wring it nock, beine under the imnren-
slon that that cruel proceeding alone

they fancied was imnondimr over them I
The Chinese hail with joy the advent
of swallows, and believo that tho own
er of the buildings where thoy make
their nests are sure to meet with pros
perity. Tho cry of the owl is every
where heard with dread, as portending
an approaching death. Resides the
foregoing, the Chinese also derive
omens from the change in the appear
ance 01 certain nowers, ana in several
other ways. "But the strangest and
most arcountaoie ot the thinoew sujwr
stitions is what they denominate 'foong
shuey' (called 'long ehue' in the court
dialect) wind and water a specie of
geoinancy or a Dcnot in the good or ill
luck attached to particular local situa
tions or asnoct. Before a house Is built
or a burial place selected, it Is neeessary
to consult certain proftitworM of the oc
cult science, who, at the price of ade
quate fees, proceed with much solem
nity to examine the situation. After
frequently perambulating and oxainin
ing the ground and even deferring their
decision lor month they will fix on
some particular place. If, after all the
expense and trouble of consulting the
cheats who profos the art, ill-fortune
rather than good should attend the
parties, this is, of oourso. attributed to
anything except the inefficiency of the
loong Buncy. This term may In gen
eral be constmod by the word luck, and
it has been Supposed that in a country
like China, where nearly all long jour
neys are performed by water, 'good
wind and wator,' or in other words
good luck in a journey, has by degrees
come to signify good luck in every cir
cumstance and condition of life." We
are inclined to think that Sir John
Davis, writing as he did at a time when
tho manners and customs of the Kin-
pi ro were not so well understood by
foreigner as they are now, doo not
lay sufficient stress on the imitortance
which the Chinese attach to their doc
trine of Feng shui, for it is undoubtedly
a very serious stumbling-block in the
way of progress of Kuroean civiliia-
tion in mo country, n non tne Chinese
have no other argument left to or ire
against an innovation they take their
stand on the Feng shui, and it would
seem as it no amount ot reasoning were
sufficient to remove the obstacle, which
to a civilised mind appears nothing
more man a ridiculous superstition.
In conclusion, we would say a few
words resjiecting tho dragon (Lung),
which holds a striking position in the
anoctiona ol thia auperstitiou people.
With thorn "it is frequently represented
as the greatest benefactor of mankind ;
and it is the dragon which cause the
cloud to form and the ram to full."
The true dragon, with five claws on
each of its four feet, i appropriated to
me r.inperor, as the emblem ot imperial
powor. It likeness is embroidered on
nismne ol stale, and his throne' is
called the dragon's scat, "(The Kmpress
is represented ny the phtrnix rong.)
Dr. H. Wells William, in his "Middle
kingdom, observes with some quaint-
ness: "J he old dragon, it might be al
most said, has coiled himself round the
Emperor of China, one of tho greatest
upholders of his iiower in the world.
and contrived to get himself worship-
d through him by one-third of the
nan race." The true dragon is rep-
poscnteu as Having no ears and with
two honis on its forehead, through
which it is supposed to hear, and it
hotly is said to bo covered with scale.
The fable runs that it never reveals its
entire form to mortal man, always par
tially shrouding itself in cloud. Ac
cording to some, water-spou ts are caused
by the movement of the dragon ; and
in time of drought supplication are
made to it, as a kind of rain god or rain
king, by the Emporor and the people
of China.
The Chir.-'tw often make nsa of an
inferior sort of dragon in pictures, de
vices, etc.; and at the holiday festival
of the ncV year "a cloth imace of the
dragon," we are told, "is exhibited at
theatres in the nighttime, and paraded
in the public streets, being moved and
worked by men. It is represented as
pursuing a large pearl or ball, which is
carried a little iu advance of it, the
whole being lighted with candles. This
is a popular sjiort, and ia called 'play-
nig Willi a dragon lantern. All (Ae

WALKING FOR EXERCISE.
Activity is the law of life: inaction
the fruitful source of debility and dis
ease. Robust physical health and ro
bust mental health, coupled with pro
longed mental effort, are not antagon
istic and irreconcilablo conditions.
Rightly understood and cared for, they
are the normal condition of true student
life, and should and can always be iu
penoct accord
They would be were it not that man,
with all hia trod like intellectual en
dowment and his primal commission
a monarch of the earth ho treads, so
often (tumbles through life with deaf
ears, blind eyes, and, tier consequence,
a darkened understanding. An aveng-
ing nemesis, however, folfof.s swift and
sure upon every error, bother from
ignorance or neglect. There i no
vicarious atonement for a disregard of
tne itinctionai laws of mo.
Walking is the best, most convenient
anil most healthful exercise for students
and sedentary persons. But to make
it effectual certain underlying rules
and principle shoultl be observed.
Fanciful notions must give place to
physiological common sense.
1. An hour's walk, two miles and
back, should be taken daily in the open
air, regardless ol tho weather or season
ol the year. Aimless sauntering is
worth nothing, and on an empty stom
ach is injurious. The walk aliould be
with a will and for a nurnose : swiiur.
ing along to get over the ground in
good earnest.
2. It should bo taken in the morn
ing, and always after breakfast, never
before. A bout halt an hour alter break
fust is the best time to start, when the
sytcm ha been put in proper contli-

iton tor tue uay ; sua prococuing mod

3. Kever walk alone, hut alwavi
with a companion; so that cheerful
conversation may divert attention and
pleasantly occupy the mind, to the lor-
gutfiilness of physical exertion and the
prevention ot introverted mental brood
ing, Inseperahle from a solitary ramble.
There may bo numerous pedestrians
on the road, but they should run in
detached couples. More than two are
inconvenient ; less than two makes the
thing a bore, and defeats tho hygienic
put-pose oi the walk.
4. Whether the walk be lontr or
snort, two nulos or lour, never givo it
over until tbe perspiration is started
and the pores ot the skin are freely
opened. This is essential, a tint qua

walk will be a failure, if not positively

Letuteillustrate. A rranging in 1 83!
to complete my taw siuuion in tne omce
of the attorney general at our State
capital, the office being occupied as ed
itorial rooms, I noticed that that officer
and O. Barrett, editor of the party or
gan, disappeared every morning, cane
in hand, soon after their arrival at the
office, returning in an hour glowing
with exercise and in exuberant spirits.
Beintr the snrintr of the rear, thev
generally came back with vest and col
lar open, each with his coat on hit
arm, and the perspiration standing in
great drops on their forehead,. After
cooling oil they would go at their day's
work with a sustained power and
hearty cheerfulness that contrasted
strangely with my invalid way of do-
ng things, ileing a shy yount. stranir-
or, I asked no qncstions, but often
wondered where they went and what
they did while gone.
In thenienntime I was laid np every
fortnight with a bilious attack, the re
sult of hardships, congestive lever and
overdosing at a manual labor college
beyond the Missisisppi. Explaining to
Mr. li., one day, the cause ot these ab
sences, he exclaimed, "That will never
do I Throw physio to the dog. Come
with me, and I'll make a new man of
yon."
bo next morning Ins legal comrado
having Just removed to another city
and left him alone we started out to
take what I lound to be his usual walk
of two mile out tho Reading turnpike
and buck, within tho hour. But he
wo Boon obliged lo slacken In pace
for my accommodation ; and at the
end of the firat half milo, 1 lay down
on the grans by the rood side, complete
ly exhausted. Alter hall an hour
rest wo slowly retracted our steps, but
I was fit for nothing the rest of the day.
iny excellent nieno sain n wouui
never do to givo it np so, and tho second
day after coaxed me out again, making
lite hull mile ana back with less eltort
nnd prostration ; but ho was perspir
ing freely, whilst my skin was a dry
a powder horn, in three week I
coula make the two mile nnd bock
by taking time to it and resting on the
way, and in two month could do it
within the hour, but livquently could
not start the perspiration till we wore
on the homo stretch. When it did
come, the relief from mental cloudiness
and physical discomfort was immediate
aud cheering. 1 n fact a good sweat,
fairly arniKl iu this way, is blettsedness
in itwlf one of the best moral Umica.
And so we kepi it un every week
day, rain or shine, Sr a year and a

physical health and strength are more

City girls can tire out country girls

and generally in company. They will
walk lour or five milo without think

Of course, tbe Judge had no rocourso
but to trot after him ; and thereupon
there ensued ono of the most rcmarka-
blo aud picturesque chases ever known
in history or tradition. Ibe horse ap
peared to have no motive save that of
keeping a certain distance ahead of the
Judge, and of finding some comforta
ble barnyard where he might refresh
himself after uch gigantic effort.
The Judge, whatever may have been
his ambitions, confined himself to the
effort of keeping tho truant beast in
sight. It must have been a choerrul
and invigorating experience to see the
Judge trotting briskly along that
smooth and nndy road, his venerable
plug hat pulled over his eyes and his
spectaclos bobbing up and down upon
hi nose. The chose wo loin?, and the
moisture of great exertion would gath

situation, and imparting renowed play

The farm-house sat in a grove of

as the Judge was scampering furiously

WASHINGTON'S
COACH-
A NO-SIX.
BT JAKE PAHTOJf.
No, Gentleman of the House of Rep
resentative!, President Washington did
not keep a coacb-and-aix and rhargo
tho exietuo to a contingent fund. Al
low mo, gentlemetf; to recall to your
recollection the fjtcts relating to tbe
first President' compensation and
equipage.
At tho first session of tbe first Con
gross, which assembled in New York
on the fourth of March, 17B9, a Com
mittee of twelve members of the House
of liprescntativo wo apoiiited to
take into consideration the compensa
tion of the President, Vico-I'reident
and member of both House, and to
report upon the same at their con
venience. Tbe Committee had the
matter under consideration for several
months. Thia long delay was owing
in part, to the very great difference of
opinion among the niombor as to the
amount of tho different salaries. Somo
of them were disposed to fix the Prosi
dent'o salary as low as fifteen thousand
dollars, and other wero inclined to
place it as high as seventy thousand.
At length tbo Committee reported, ad
vising that tho salary of tho President
be twenty thousand dollnrs a yr. n,l
that he lie provided with a ftirnishod
house, secretarioa, clerk, plate, car
riages and homos, at the public expense.
On the thirteenth of July, 1789, tho
House of Representatives took this re
port into consideration, and debated it
at considerable length.
Tbe clause relating to the providing
of a house and equipage was at once
objected to, and it was moved to strike
it out, which led to an animated dis
eussion. Mr. Tucker was of opinion
tbat lor a new President to buy plate
and furniture would subject him to
great inconvenience, unless he received
a year's salary in advance and when
he retired to private life, they would
not sell for half their firat cost. He,
therefore, wished the public to provide
house, furniture and plate, but not
homes and carriages
Mr. Madison, afterward President,
thought tbat homo and carriages
would also cost a new President a great
deal of money, and would not sell for
much upon Lis retirement, lie was
therefore of opinion that, if furniture
and plate should bo providod, equipsgo
should be also.
Mr. Stone favored tho payment of a
sufficient salary, without any extras.
The President, he thought, ought to
live in any style he judged most proper.
"But," suid ho, "if you furnished Lim
with a house, horses and carrioges,you
declare that thia is the house, the horse
and the carriage which ha shall use.
But be may not choose to use them.
Ho may prefer equipage more splendid
or more pluin ; and surely, if a Presi
dent choose to live in an economical
manner, we ought not to prevent
him."
Mr. Vining, on the contrary, wa of
opinion that the President of the United
States, being the representative of tho
Nation, was bound in propriety to
maintain a certain appearanco of dig
nity, and tho House bail a right to
show what they expected of him in
this respect
After further debute, it was decided
to strike out the clatiae assigning the
President' homes, carriage, ftirnittiro
and plate at the expense of tho public,
and to pay him a salary large enough
to admit of hi providing these things
for himself.
Then arose tho question, what should
be tho amount of the salary ; and this
led to another day' dobate. One
gentleman proposed to pay the Presi
dent twenty-six thousand dollar for
the first year, and sixteen thousand
dollar for every other year. Ho pro
posed, also, that be should bo paid ten
thousand dollars the first year in ad
vance, to meet the great exponses of
providing a house and equipage. Oth
er gentlemen favored thirty thousand
dollars a year: and at length, upon
motion of Mr. John Page, of Virginia,
the sum was fixed at twenty-five thou
sand. ,
President Washington, before thin
decision had been reached, had ordered
a handsome coach from England, which
arrived in the course of the year 1789.
This vehicle, of which Mr. Lossine haa
given the publio an engraving and a
description, was a very handsome and
substantial structure. The body and
wheels were of a cream color, then
vory fashionable, with gilt relief, and
tli body wo suspended upon the old
fashioned, heavy leather straps, like
uiose upon wnicn tno auge-ooaebca
were formerly suspended. Part of tho
side and front wore shaded by green
Venetian blinds, Inclosed by black
leather curtains. The lining of the
coach was of black glossy leather.
The Washington arm were handsome
ly painted on the doors, with the motto
porlectly charactonBtio of n ash-
uigton Exitut alio probat the result
prove actions. Vixm each of the four
panel of tho coach was a picture im-
llemutic of one of the seasons, exocnted
by an Italian artist of reputation.
In this substantial vehicle the Tro.
dent used to ride about Manhattan
Island, which ftirnished ono of the
most beautiful drives in the world,
called the "Fourteen Milo Hound?'
It led up what is now the Bowery and
Third Aventio, then called the Boston
Road, which commanded a beantifhl
view of the East river, lined with farms
and country-seats; then across tho np
per part of the Island, and down by
the Bloomliigtklo road (Broadway) to
tho city again. It is impossible to im
agino a more lovely combination of
cultivated land, lofty bluff, and living
water, than this ride must havo pre
sented In tho early day.
Usually, tho general had only four
hotucs haincscd to hi coach, but in
traveling between the seat of Govern
ment and Mount Vernon, it was often
a matter of necessity to nso six. Mom
bora of Congress may rust assured that
this coach, its home, and all it ap
purtenances, were paid for with General
Washington's own money. It wan an
honest conch in ovcry rtwpect ; for at
tho end of tho second term it bnllder
eamo to America and settled In Alex,
andria, where tho General informed
him that not a nail or screw of the
vehicle had started. Fifteen yenr af
ter the death of General Washington,
when it becamo the property of the
lato Bishop Meatl, of Virginia, it pi
still a sound, serviceable coach, though
too heovy for ordinary use. Its subse
quent history I th-J related by the
Bishop :
"Becoming an object of desire to
those who delight in relic, I caused it
to be taken to piece and distrilmted
among the admiring friends of Wash
ington who visited nty house, and also
among a nunilvor of female association

other occasions, mado a largo profit by
converting tho fragments into walking
sticks, picture-frame and snuff boxe.

So much for tho Oenernl' coach.
Even if Congrest hatl voted him a car.
rlage and horse at tho public expense,
1 very much doubt If ho wonld have
accepted them. Whon Philadelphia
became tho scat of Government, th
Legislature of Pennsylvania assigned
him a very handsome hotis for hi
residence, but h declined to accept it
He hired a house for himself of Kobert
Morri and paid the rent, which wal
three thousand dollar a year. .
