A True (liincse Story, An American merchant whb has been engaged in the tea business for seventeen years in Hong Kong related lately some incidents which had fallen under his own observation in China which throw a pleasant light upon the character of these little-known peopele. “Americans,” - he said, “are the best-fed and best-clothed people in the world. It is absolutely impossible for them to realize the excessive poverty which exists amon°; the agricultural population of Northern China. They have no food but rice and water, and seldom enough of that. There are Hundreds of thousands of them who do not possess twenty cents in-ecuirency in the course of a year. When famine comes—and it needs but a partial failure of the rice-crop to produce famine—they are reduced to live upon earth and gl ass. Lots are drawn to find which of the children shall be sacrificed for the others, and the victim is brought down into the town and sold for fifty cents as a slave, the parents parting with it with a grief and despair which are, I believe, genuine. Female infants are strangled at birth in a hard summer, because, the parents aver, it is simply impossible to feed them, and it is better for them to die in this way than by slow starvation. “ I tell you these extreme conditions of their life to make you understand my story. I once went with some English officers duck-shooting up into, these barren regions. Becoming separated from my companions, I lost my way and asked the assistance of one of the poorest of these Chinese ‘rice-plant-ers/ He left his work instantly, and with the smiling, friendly courtesy of which, by the way, one is always sure in the poorest Chinaman at home. He remained with me from noon till dark, searching among the winding creeks and flat marshes for my companions. When we had found them I handed him a dollar, a sum larger than he would own probably in two or three years. He refused it, nor could all my persuasions foroe him to take it. “ ‘My religion,’ he said, ‘bids us be kind to strangers, and the chance toobey the rule comes to me so seldom that I dare not destroy the, good deed by taking pay for it.’ “How many Christians might learn a | lesson in humanity and faith from this poor follower of Confuoius.”— Youth's Companion.
