fialt MORALITY OF THE J•PANENR.--In • private
letter, written, says the Tiews,hy one who "from hie official
position had many opportunities of gain* reliable informa-
tion not attainable by an ordinary traveller," it is said of
the Japanese:—'• Riding along the lams at 5 o'clock of an
afternoon, the commoessi sight Is to ere in frost at the
cottages (in the country when there are se public bethe) a
whole family, often three geueratiose of both sues, all
quite node, sitting I. their flat spongesg trays spleeidog
away. If foreigners are new in those pate the whole
party will probably spring up and rush to the
read side for a 111111~ view, but otherwise they
continue their onenpation, evidently without the slight-
est Reese of impropriety or feeling of shame. Drees
titer all is merely a conventional arrangement; brought up
from childhood with the eye familiartsed to nudity, the
sane Ideas and feelings as it communicates to us are un-
known to them. It is odd bow soon the Europese fry* be-
comes accustomed to it ; it is only strange to new 00111 ere.
Itishopffinaith may s the J ripeness are the martheentious
in the world ; perhups they nay be no, but everyone peed t
to agreed that we have no evidence epos whisk to arks
such rio amnion, and I very much question if they
' are not really less so then any other knows pagan comma-
aity. Polygamy is allowed and immobile's legalised.
Their moral code appears to be very mach that of the Old
Testament. The married men keep concubines, or, if not
rich enough for that, (request brothels ; but the women
are faithful to the marriage vow, u also are the concubines
to their lords, and the Japasabe gave me the idea of
far lees sensual thee the Turks, ladies., or Chins. ; at
even* I know you can p through the country, and visit
their wine, cud see a swaths anseuet of the everyslay inner
life of the people, asl not be shocked by anythieg one
hundredth part as lad es the streets of Louden or Paris at
toght, or the saloons of the theatres. The truth hi it is
to absurd judge the .la ;seem by our studied ; bet gees
Lion even whether we, with our casinos. and 011•111111110,
• pretty horse.breakeni,' and the revelations of Air C. Cress
well's court, can fling a atone et the morality of Japan."
