The Chinese, it is said, celebrate all
their holidays by paying their debts,
forgiving all tlieir enemies, and shak
ing hands all around. So that in one
respect, at least, the "Heathen Chi

conformable indeed to Christian prin
ciples. Let ns hops' thai this salutary
principle may be generally adopted.
It is worthy of a carnival to celebrate
it.
