THE PIN AND THE NEEDLE A pin
and needle, says the American Foun-
tain, being ncighbors in a work-basket,
and being idle, began to quarrel, as idle
folks are apt to do.
II should like to know said the pin,
"what you are good for, and how do you
expe ct to get through the world without
a hcad!" What is the use of your
head" replied the needle, rather sharp
ly, "if you have no eye?" Whats the
use of an eye" said the pin, ''if there is
always some ething in it!" 81 am more
active, and can 60 through more work
than you can," said the reedle. "Yes.
but you will not live long Why not!'
Because you have always stitch in
your side said the pin. You are q
poor crooked creature said the needle
And you are so proud that you can't
bend without breaking Your back III
pull your head off, if you insult me
again 'Fll pull your eye cut, if you
touch me remember your life hangs by
a single thread said the pin.
While they were thus conversing, q
little girl entered, and, undertaking to
sew, she broke of the needle at the eye.
Then she tied the thread around the
neck of the pin, and attempting to sew
with it, she soon pulled its head off and
threw it into the dirt by the side of the
broken needle.
Well, here we are,' said the needle,
We have nothing to fight abou. now,
said the pin.
1t seems misfortune has brought us
TO our senses.'
"A pity we had not come to them
sooner said the needle.
How much we resemble human be-
ings who quarrel about their blessings
till they lose them, and never find out
that they are brothers till they lie down
in the dust together, rs we do

Immense masses of ice have swept
down the Mississippi river the last
Spring. For weeks after the ice
started, enormous quantities went
down-much of it in the form OF re-
spectacle icebergs. This is unusual,
but it has proved in this case to be de-
cidedly useful 1t has cut off and
broken to pieces nearly all the snags
in the river; and also levelled the bed

EMPEROR OF Russia. The declaration
of Bonaparte that Europe must either
be Cossack or Republican, seems more
prophetic now than at any o'her time
since its utterance. The recent move
ments of Nicholas and his satellites in
Europe and Asia, are among the most
striking features in the late European
news. Tho N. Y. Times, in speaking
of the recent progress of the Emperor
and his agents says:
"For the last three months the whole
tribe of Romanof has been roaming off
to most unexpec ted quarters of the globe.
One, to. wit, tho Duke Of Louchtenberg
overruns Egypt and Syria. We need
hardly say, that Constantinople lay in
this route. Two Archdukes have been
securing Italy, pausing at Naples, Rome,
Florence, and Venice. The Emperor
in person is at Vienna, and all Austria
of the bureaucratic class, does homage
to him. The Empress has dropped in
upon her royal brother OF Prussia, after
making formal detour through Gcrma.

But how do the others fare; the re-

king of Naples, gives an extra twist to
the wheel upon which the spirit of Ne
apolitans has been broken. The Jesuits
procure further concessions and firmer
footing The day of emancipation is put
afar off. Extraordinary precautions are
taken against the exertion Of French,
and the subversion of Bourbon influence.
The friends Of the forsworn constitution,
and the secret well-wishes of Lucien
Murat, are equally put at fault and cha
grined. The night of despotism is re-
duced to Arctic length and gloom"
In Rome, the agents of Nicholas have

it in revoked concessions and abridged

welcome to the Gar, to burn up con-
stitutions and guarantees and obliga-
tions as fitting holocaust. Such is
the influence Of shrewd diplomacy, and
the impression of indefinite resources
upon the general mind and so far has
Europe fed from the positive pole of re-

JApAv.-Frans Caron, who visited

JAPAN.-Frans Caron, who visited
this interesting country in 1855 relates
that the wealth Of Japan is so enor-
nous that the incomes of the chief
ministers amount lS2,000l, those of
inferior placemen to 9l,000l and the
salaries of those who fill the lowest
stations may, at least be reckoned at
from ,20OI to 27,300i. But altho'
the mobiles also possess very enormous
revenues, yet the expenses they are
obliged to incur swallow all up. At
Jeddo especially, everything is very
dear, and housekeeping, particularly
on the japanese scale, is very expen-
sive. Whatever can be imagined as
contributing to pleasure and the sup
port of luxury, is to be met with
The entertainments given by kings
and mobiles to the emperor are often
uinous to them.
The women of Japan, says the
same author, are rigidly excluded, ev-
en- more so than among the Mahom-
medans; but they have many pleas
ures-gardens, ish-ponds, arbours,
summer houses, half on shore and
half over the water, and all sorts of
land fowl, musical instruments, and
such like. Plays are represented,
and feasts and banquets constantly oc-
cur. Their dress is of diferent-colored
silk. Each, according to the rank
they hold, or the post assigned them,
wears an appointed color.
The revenues of the mobiles arise
out of the various products which the
territories afford. Some lands yield
corn some gold and silver; others
copper, iron, tin, or lead; others
again timber, hemp, cotton or silk.
The emperor disposes of the fisheries,
more particularly Of the whale fish
cries, once a source of large revenue,
but now almost entirely in the hands
of Americans and others.
The japanese are neither very SUI
perstitious, nor are they religious.
They do not pray either in the morn
ing or in the evening, and the most
religious scarcely go to the pagoda
once m nth. At the same time the
number of pagolas is incredibly large.
The priests reside in them-from two
to twenty in a community, according
to the size of the buildings.
The Dutch, who succeeded the
Portuguese in 1000, after the cxpul-
sion of the Catholic missionaries, for
a long time made immense gain by
their exclusive traffic. They drained
the islands at one time of the precious
metals to an astonishing amount, at
the same time refusing to receive in
lieu many valuable articles Of COM
merce. This abuse of their privil-
eyes caused their commerce to dwin>
die into insignificance. At the same
time, the pusillanimity of the Dutch
in submitting TO al the insults Of the
japanese has brought European ma
tons generally into contempt with this
people, and increased their pride and
arrogance.
The attempt Of the Americans to
force or persuade open the doors Of
Japan, is pregnant with most import
ant events. The expedition is COM
po ed of til, Susquehanna steam fri
gate, and the steam frigates Princeton
and Mississippi, frigatc, slc op of
war, and storeship. The expedi-
tion is under the command of Commo-
dore Perry, seconded by some of tho
ablest officers in the American navy.
