LABORS OF MR. GUTZLAFF IN* CHINA.
In a communication from Mr. (Jut/.Ial
dated Macao, Dec. 2d, 1634, dcscribin
un extensive tour on the coast of China, i
winch he visited tlic island of Formosa, 1
gives the following interesting description:
Distribution at Po-low on the Sabbath.
The 20th (of Julv) was a fine summer
day. It was the Lord's Sabbath, and
whole mind was filled with heavenly joj
*3o I went towards a place called Po-tov
singing and rejoicing in the Lord, my pool
cts and bags filled with medicines, and tl;
boxes with :books. On the beach we mi
u number of poor individuals engaged i
collecting a few small oysters, which the
carefi.Hy salt and eat with their potatoc:
It was impossible to pass them withoi
giving them a few books and talking son
words of consolation. The farther w
penetrated inland the more numerous the vi
lages. In passing a small ravine, the peopli
uwure ui my uuviwg uuuivs, n?;u jnuw
themselves so advantageously that i lis
either to satisfy' their demands or to g
hack. Thus I opened my treasures an
began the distribution: the presents wei
received with the warmest thanks, an
I had only to regret that my stock was soo
exhausted ; yet I consoled tliein with ha>
ing another box in the boat, wliils
standing under a tree, I commence
my medical operations. 31 any an indivii
a! was profuse in his gratitude, and som
offered small presents which I refused t
accept. A numerous train acconipanie
me to the boat, and it was a wonder that s!;
did not sink, for the crowd around it, wh
leaded up to the neck through the icater, wn
very large. W hen every leaf had gotte
its owner, they took a cheerful farewell,an
requested mc to re-visit their village.
Ihsappobitnient of an old Soldier.
Tiic following days were passed in sim
lar visits. 1 had olten to wade throng
swamps and ditches, and thus found no fui
titer use lor shoes and stockings. Oftc
have I regretted that some old, well deservin
individuals did not share in the general scran
hie, and solicited mc in vain to bestow a gi
upon them; especially one old soldier, aboi
the ago of 60, who knew how to read, an
was desirous to make himself acquaintc
with the contents of the Christian books
lie had stood a considerable time in anxiou
expectation, whether the young men of tli
village would leave him one book, fie cam
finally up to mc, seeing the hopelessness c
the case, and forcing his way through th<
crowd, obtained a book, which anothc
snatched again out of his hand. FTo was a
this instance of rapacity almost moved t<
. tears, and besought mc instantly not to for
get him at the next distribution.
Impetuosity for Books.
.Anxious to prevent the impetuosity, I pla
^cettwiysclf upon a rock, addressed the in
habitants of a large village, and cxhorlet
thenrte behave quietly during the distribu
tion wliieli was to ensue. They promise*
obedience to this injunction ; but scarcch
* liad I v?peuod the book box, when they for
got themselves, and became thouvcelves tlx
distributors, assuring me thai they woulc
peruse tUem with the greater eagerness
since they themselves had made the choice,
I could not licip myself, and yielded to thcii
wishes.
Hospitality and Kindness of the People.
In visiting village by village, hamlet
by hamlet, where I principally scattered tin
Scriptures, I met with tko most affectionate
reception. There was not a hovel where
we were not invited to stay over the break
fast and to partake of their homely fare.
The women, too, showed themselves mos
officious to render us small services, anc
waited for us with tea when they saw us ad.r?.vrw,
rtwmvl ft?r?ir liniisns. A mail whoil
Vtuiw l\/l? W?|\? V?w. - - w _
I had known previously took a great interest
in making the people acquainted witl
the object of our mission, in order to drav
the attention of his neighbors to the book;
and to increase the interest felt in them
Indeed J have never found so much kirn
care and so ready a desire of obtaing tlx
Scriptures as on this occasion. Therefon
I blessed the Lord for his goodness, whils
praying that he might pour out his Hoh
Spirit for the salvation of these poor people
As the demand was so very general, nn<
my visits frequent, my large stock amoun
ting to more than I used to circulate form
crly in Southern Asia withui two years, was
exhausted.
Sicamping of the boat?loss of MedicinesDamage
to Books.
I took the last box to a village inhabits
by the refuse of the people. The sea was
running high and our boat swamped ; th<
book box, however, was carried safely 01
shore by the surf. All wet, I jumped througl
the surf on shore. My medicine was ai
lost and floating about; but I rejoiced tha
at least the box had been saved. Deferri 11.?
the distribution till some of the books whicl
had gotten wet might become dry, I sue
eecded at first to overcome the impatieno
.j?f the numerous bystanders; but'ali 011 :
sudden, they told me plainly that they mus
have them. Delay would Rave been im
prudent, and have only exposed me to thei

and the volumes were very soon scattered
Curiosity of the people?Preaching to th
Multitude.
The curiosity of the people to see us \va;
here greater than in any of the othe
places. Even the females came dowi
to the beach to have a peep at us. Durin<
-the time our people were baling the boat,
preached to my curious auditors, who beha
ved very quietly as soda as I commence*
speaking, and moreover took a lively inter
est in the doctrines. Having propounds
questions, received answers, repeated th*
subject, and explained upon the principn
point, I parted from them in a most cheerfu
.mood.

PERFORMANCES.
Mucklejohn, Jr. was partially trained in the
i fall of 1830, then 3 years old ; but only suffered
J to run sufficient to test his speed and to try his
j future promise. Fully trained the next season,
and on the 2dth of October, 1831, ho won the
i Jockey Club purse, ?80, at Pinevillc South Car;
olina, two mile heats?beating Col. Richardson's
i b. f. L ipruelle, 4 years old, and. Col. Sinkler's
! c. Van Burcn, same age. (Time not stated?
i said to lie very quick.) After this race he was
' | exercised with an unmanageable filly, who, in
j defiance of the cfibrts of her rider, constantly
[ took the lead, by which means lie soon became
j accustomed to look for a leader, and to stop when
he saw nothing in advance of him?and on the
1 til of December, 1831, on the Stateburg Course
4 mile heats, purse $300, ran into the crowd
j near the Judge's stand, at the close of the third !

the next day, 22d, three mile heats, parse $200, !
was again ruled out, from crossing a corner of J
tthe track, while more than 200 yards in advance

one other not now recollected.

A PRACTICAL TREATISE on tbe Cat

of tho United States, by F. G. Comxtock, Secte. * <
tary to tlie .Hartford County Silk Society, and
Editor of the Silk Culturist. Illustrated by engravings.
* . 1
The interest in all parts of tbe United 8tate?
in the culture and manufacture of Silk, manifested
by tho constant calls for information on the sabjet,
ha9 induced the publisher to have prepared
a plain Practical Treatise on the cultivation of
tho Mulberry and roaring Silk Worms, adapted to
the soil and climate of this country and to tho *
wants of plain practical men. I
The Practical Culturist in this counlfjr needs .
a directory adapted to tho soil on which he plants 1
his trees, and tho climate in which he tears his . t
worms, without reference to soils and climates
less congenial to their growth. It has been there,
lore the object of the author to make' a treatise , i
strictly practical, omitting nothing of importance,
nnd adding nothing of a useless qt cxtraneooa
character.
As making tho raw material into sewing SiUc
and Twist is very profitable to the Silk grower,
all necessary information for that purpose will be ^
given. . : rfl1
