WoMAN's LAueH-A woman has no natural
grace more bewitching than a sweet laugh. 1t
is like the sound of utes on water. 1t leap
from the heart in clear, sparkling rill and tn.
heart that hears it feels as if bathed in the ex.
harating spring. Have you ever pursued an
unseen fugitive through the trees, led on by her
fairy laugh-now here, now there, now lost,
now foundl We have. We are pursuing the
wandering voice to this day. Sometimes it
comes 20 us in the midst of care or sorrow, irk-
some business; and then we turn away and
listen, and hear it ringing through the room
like a silver bell, with power to scare away the
i'll spirits of the mind. How much we owe to
that sweet laugh! 1t turns the prose of life in
to poetry; it filings showers of sunshine over the
darksome wood in which we are travelling; it
touches with light even our sleep, which is more
the image of death, but gemmed with dreams.
that are the shadows of Immortality.

ABEAUr1FUL F1GURE.-Life is beautifully com
pared to fountain fed by thousand streams
that perish if one be dried. 1t is silver cord
twisted with thousand strings that part assup-
der ifone be broken. Fral and thoug ghtless NOR
tails are surrounded by innumerable dangers which
make it much more strange that they escape so
long, than that they almost all perish suddenly
at last. We are encompassed with accidents
every u'.S 20 crush the mouldering tenements
that we inhabit The seeds are planted in our
constitutions by nature. The earth and the at
mosphere whence we draw the breath of our life
are inpregnated with death-health is made to
operate its own destruction? The food that
nourshes the body contains the elements of its
decay; the soul that animates it by vivfying fire
tends to wear it out by its own action; death
turks in ambush along our paths, Notwithstand-
ing this is the truth, so palpably confirmed by
the daily examples before our own eyes, how
little do we lay it to heart We see our friends.
and neighbors perish among US, but how seldom
does it occur to our thoughts that our knel shall
perhaps, give the next fruitess warning to the
world

The DurcH AND THE JAPANEsE.-The Dutch,
who have long held commercial intercourse ex-
clusivcly with the japanese and publish journal
in the Japan language among them, furnish all
the information which this singular people pos
scss of the Western world. The Editor Ct the
London Morning Chronicle makes the following
remarks on late number of this Journal which
came into his possession.
"There are many things in these singular pub
lications with which we might be disposed to
Quarrel We cannot recognize the claims of the
great nation of Holanders to rank as the leading
European power doctrine which the Jealous
Dutch employees have from time immemorialim-
pressed upon the japanese public. Nor are we
by anv means satisfied with the insignifcance
which the Dutch official journalists impute to
England and the United States With someap-
pearancc of plausbility, it is stated that Great
Britain is an island envelopcd in perpetual fogs,
incessantly vexed with political disputes, and in
habited by race whose soundness of intellect is
very questionable. The United States do not
fare much better; for they are said to consist of
communities Of very garrulous men, perfectly
destitute of all regard for Tie right of property.
But It certainly is ,uy no means logical infer,
cnce hat the natives Of the countries thus dis
courteously characterized, are necessarily without
power or influence to extend their dominion in
the East"
