Many women are hurried alive with their
deceased husbands, or consumed on the

yoked With an ox or en ass, while the
husband held the plow and sowed the

recently, not one female in twenty millions
was acquainted With the commonest tudi ,

distinction of being able to read and write.
Among the aboriginal tribes of our -own
country, the women do the drudgery I and
the men spend their tittle in war, hunting,

the life of the woman is at the mercy of the
husband, and if she offend him he may kill
her with perfect impunity, or at most, at
the expense of a small fine,

a queer notion imported from China, in
the shape of what is now called an umbrel•

England, probably the first in Europa—,
It attracted such curious and indignant no.

was boldly pelted with mud and other con

who passed two years in the country on

thus describes the datural features of a cer

Wellingtun, The whole of this once!
dreadful road is now a fine highway, and,
As I cantered along, I could scarcely believe !
that it was the same grotind that I had toil
ed along so slowly and painfully lees than
two years ago. Gardens, cottages, and
cultivations are seen springing up on all
sides ; large patches of cleared land are
making deep inroads into the forest, and
the whole aspect of the country is being
rapidly changed. I did not find the town
of Wellington much altered, but it is !
pleasant place enough, and at any rate the !
inhabitants cannot be charged with inhospi
tality, for dinner parties, dancies, and soi
-1 rees succeeded one another daily. The
polka, cellarious, and valse a deux temps
have already found their way to the antip
odes, and are danced to some purpose, as
the Wellington balls rarely break ult
after daylight ; and "to go home jth the
girls in the morning" is is generally part
of one's duty."
Of the pediple and the change wrought
in them, he says :
