The death of Mr. S. Goodrich, who wrote under the.
non de plume of Peter Parley, and the author of many
most engaging works for children, is reported by the
last American arrival.
THE JAPANESE AMBASSADORS.—Both of the Ambas-
sadors are rather tall and thin in form, with long and
sharp faces, and, as with all the Japanese, of dark com-
plexion and jet black hair, so far as any is left by the
barber, for they have a singular fashion in dressing the
hair, in which the men expend as much care as the
women, and take as much pride and pleasure in its neat
and fashionable adjustment. All is shaved off to the
very skin, except around the temples and low down on the
back of the neck, from which it is brought up on, all
sides to the top of the head and fastened by a string, and
then bent forward, well stiffened with pomatum, in 9'
queue about four inches long and of the size of one's;
finger, and pointed forward over the front part of the
head, which is left completely denuded of all hair. They
dress in silk robes, and wear two swords at their sidca,
according to universal usage with the higher classes.--
New York Herald.
LABOUR THE SINE QUA NON.—It is not my purpose'
to paint Cuvier in his late years. It is to the studies of
his youth that I would call your attention, to read there,.
once again, the important lesson that nothing of anY
solid value can be achieved without entire devotion.
Nothing is earned without sweat of the brow. Eves
the artist must labour intensely. What is called "in
spiration" will create no works, but only irradiate works'
with felicitous flashes ; and even inspiration mostly'
comes in moments of exaltation produced by intens:e
work of the mind. In science, incessant and enlight-
ened labour is necessary, even to the smallest success-
Labour is not all ; but without it, genius is nothing.—
Cornhill Magazine for June.
Wool. NO SAFEGUARD.—In olden times sheets of wool
were often employed as safeguards at the windows of
private houses, in cases of civil commotion wherein street
firing became necessary. In the civil wars they were
even hung about the Bradford Church to save it from
the artillery laid against it ; and in the Irish rebellion
the use of these safeguards was common. But with the
downfall of Brown Bess, down falls also the utility of the
material which barred the progress of her bullets. Some
interesting experiments which have been lately made I/1
Mr. Mann, of the Halifax Rifle Corps, show how futile is
the attempt, even with this strongly resisting medium, to
stop the terrible missiles of the Enfield rifle. A bullet
made of tea-lead, with the usual charge of 21 drachms of
powder, and at twenty yards, went through a sheet of broke
wool weighing about 4001 b., and was much damaged-by
the force with which it struck the wall behind. TWO
grooves only were left visible on the bullet. A second
bullet made of it softer lead, at the same distance and
with the same charge, went through a sheet of broke
Lincolnshire wool, packed tightly so as to weigh 5601 b.,
and also through a barrel (originally a flour barrel)
filled with wool, and also through an inch deal board
behind it. A third bullet with an iron plug or washer
in it, went through a sleet of Lincolnshire wethers,
weighing 6161 b., at a distance of twenty-five yards,
leaving all the rifle grooves still visible OR it. And when
a sheet of Lincolnshire wethers was packed as tightly as
possible so as to weigh 7281 b., a fourth bullet fired at it
at about twenty-five yards, wont through the mass, and
made an impression on the sheet at the back,. though it
had not force enough left to make its extt.—Hakfax
Guardian. .

different result. French art, in its attempt to become
religious, is notoriously irreligious. The French
Madonna is a flirting, fascinating grisette, or a sorrowing
Magdalen. The French saint is but a sinner in sack-
cloth of suffering; the French heaven but a select com-
pany from the Champs Elysees ; and ticir angels took
to wings only when tired of tiptoe flight in the Casino.
In England, too, under the name of pre-Raphaelitisro,
we have had our mediaeval furor ; yet how diverse
either from French license or German austerity
Our English school is rather secular than sacred.
The literal study of nature rather than the servile
copyism of early Italian masters, is its fundamental
creed and practice. Instead of aspiring to a visional?'
ideal, it contentedly adheres to the sober truth of indi-
vidual nature. Instead of dreaming on in shadowy
mazes far away on the outlying frontier of matter and
spirit, our English school boldly takes its stand on the
actual and tangible, and depi,,Ats with utmost
just what it sees. Lastly, in lieu of a dun, dirty, and
melancholy colour, falsely deemed the appropriate garb
to solemn thought, our own pre-Raphaelites glory in
prismatic lustre, seek to outvie the sunshine of nature,i
