FOR OF JArAS.-Ssndry document
relating 10 the japanese Ezpedition
we're sent in to the Senate BY the
President, on the 18th. The follow.
ing is an extract from the letter Of
President Fillmore to Ne E.peror Of
Japan:
~ send you this letter BY an En-.
roy Of my own appointment, an of.
ssr u high rank in his country. who
is no missionary Of religion. lie goes
by my command, to bear to you my
greeting and good wishes, and to
promote friendship and commercs BE-.
tween ~ Two eoussrisA
You know that the United States
OF America new extend from sea to
sea ; that tho grealcountries;of Ore
gcn and California arc parts Of the
United States ; and that from these
countries. which are rich 10 gold and
silver and precious stones, our steam
ers can reach the shores Of your hap
py land in less than twenty days.
Many Of our ships will now pass
in every year, aud some perhaps eve.
~ week, between California and CHR
ma ; these ships must pass along the
coast Of your Empire ; storms and
winds may cause them to be wrecked
on your shores, and we ask and ex-
pect from your friendship and your
greatness, kindness for u men and
protection for IL property. We
wish ;hat u people may De permit
ted to trade with your people, but We
shall not authorize them to break any
law Of your Empire.
Our object is friendly commercial
intercourse, and nothing'more. You
may have productions which we should
be glad to buy. and VIC lave produce
tons which might suit your people.
Your Empire contains a great
abundance Of coal !; this is an artic lie
which our steamers, in going from
California to China, must use. They
would be glad that a harbor in your
Empire should be appointed to which
coal might be brought, and where they
might always be abs to purchase it.
In many other respects. con-
mcrce between your Empire and our
country would be useful to BOTH
Let US co~nsidcr..well what new inter-
ests may arise from these recent events
which have brought our two countries
SO near together ; and what purposes
of friendly amity and intercourse this
ought to inspire in the hearts Of those
who govern both countries"

FARMERS SONS.

When young man leaves his home in
the country for less desirable one in the
city, OF elsewhere, the inference, as gen.
eral thing, is either that he is "spoiled" by
indulgence on the part Of his parents, or
/, BY certain influences which may have fal.
len upon him, led to despise labor on a
farm, and induced TO seek less laborious
and more easy mode of life. That these
are not the only causes which induce boys
to leave good home and farm, the follow.
ing sketch may perhaps show.

REUBEN AND PH0BE.
IN Manchester q maiden dwelt,

M, In Manchester maiden dwelt,
II Her, name was Phoebe Brown,
N' Her cheek was red, her hair was black
e'gli And she was considered by good
Judges 10 be, by all odds, the best looking
girl in the town. aae'8asa is'9
IIer age was nearly seventeen,
sdsasfisr eyes were sparkling bright, oFs
10 yA,vefy lovely girl she was, iiR
And for about year and half there
had been q young man paying attention
10 her BY The name Of Reuben Wright.
Now Reuben was a nice young man
,t. AS any in the town,
w And Phoebe loved him very dear,
'O'gqsB But. on account Of his being obliged
TO work for living, he never could make
vihimself agreeable TO Mr. and Mrs. Brown.
-sia Her cruel parents were resolved
- Another she should wed, i'i-
.IasArich old miser in the place,
And old Brown frequently declared
that sooner than have his daughter marry
Reuben Wright, he'd sooner knock him
On the head a''R' @
4, But Phoebe heart was brave and strong,
'e''s She feared not parents frowns,
sehAnd as for Reuben Wright so bold
loiie I've heard him say more than fifty
times with the exception Of Phoebe he
didn't care darn for the whole race Of
.la Browns. o MS .e5 sasel-
!, So Phoebe Brown and Reuben Wright
Determined they would marry;
Three weeks ago last Tuesday night
ID sdThey started for old Parson Wheeler s
determined to be united in the holy bonds
,of matrimony. though it was tremendous
dark and rained like old Harry.
81 Bot Captain Brown was wide awake;
rs He loaded up his gun,
And then pursued the loving pair;
He overlook them when they got about
half way TO the Parsons, and then Phoebe
and Reuben started off on the run.
Old Brown then took deadly aim
~ Towards young Reuben's head.
But oh! it was bleeding shame,
bs He made mistake, and shot his only
daughter, and had the unspeakable an
.guish, of seeing herdrop down stone dead.
lsas Then anguish filled young Reubsn's
,s. heart,
And vengeance crazed his brain,
" He drew an awful jack knife out
!. And plunged ii into old Brown about
Is.6hy or sixty times, SO it is very doubtful
n about his ever coming to again.
Z The briny drops from Reuben's eyes
y In torrents poured down,
JoiH He yielded up the ghost and died.
HI And in this melancholy and heart.
rending manner terminated the history OF
Reuben and Phoebe and likewise of Cap.
tain Brown.

ther gained the slightest advantage. II.
The Indian at this moment saw War
ner suddenly leap from his lurking place,
and disappear behind the trunk of a fall
len tree. w. '.-........ .,.,..r,.'.
What was now to be done he scarcely
knew. He was too wary not to appre-
bend some stratagem by Warner, he
therefore neither advanced nor retreated,
but covered himself securely behind the
trunk Of a gigantic oak, At length to
his great JOY he discovered the hat of
his enemy slightly emerging above the
body of the tree, but it quickly disap-
peared. This was several times repeat.
ed. each time being more plainly visible.
The Indian smiled with savage delight
as he muttered, the pale face is great
warrior but fool. The son of the for
est would not lie upon the ground when
he stands behind a tree. He would not
expose his head and hide his feet
During the soloquy he was slowly
raising his rifle, ready to take the first ad-
vantage of the imprudent movements of
his enemy.
The hat was now so clearly visible,
that he fred. 1t quickly fell-all was
silent few minutes, then wild exhaus-
ting war-whoop re-echoed through the
forest, and the Indian rushed forward to
secure the scalp of his fallen enemy
When within two rods of the fatal tree,
he paused with amazement. Before him
with poised rifle stood the powerful
form of Warner. One look of unuttera-
BILE hate-it was the chieftain' last. The
report of rifle resounded through the
forest, and the Black Wolf of the Oneida,
lay writhing among the fallen leaves.
The captain was not the fool the Indi-
an had supposed him. Feeling that
neither had gained any advantage, and
being desirous to bring the combat to
an issue, he resolved to hazard all to a
stratagem, which if successful would
give him fatal advantage over the Onei-
da. He therefore threw himself behind
a tree, and slightly elevated his hat upon
a stick. This the Indian first saw and af-
forwards fred at it with result we have
above shown.
Warner looked upon his dead foe with
The stern joy which warriors feel,
In fOemen worthy Of their steel.
You have been great chief but a
cruel warrior he soliloquized, yet your
weapons have been used with courage
and skill you may not be deprived Of
them even in death"
With cords he affixed the rifle that had
proved fatal to SO many, to the cold hand.
placed the tommahawk and scalping knife
to their wonted places, tied large stone
to the feet. and placed the body in
canoe. When near the centre of the
pond he lifted the inanimate form with
its face towards the setting sun, and
the smooth waters became the Indians
grave.
Warner. though conqueror. return
ed to his friends with sadness. whose Joy
can be better imagined than described
From that day this beautiful sheet of
water has been known as the "Black
Pond"

Don't Bet.

Amasa May was cured of betting i
How .! Keep quiet and I'll tell you.
Not a thousand miles from Jamaica
Plain lived Lem Sever, Bob Emmons and
Amasa May. Lem was fond of shooting,
he could shoot well, and was rather proud
oft. 1t happened on bright day that
he had been hunting over the Newton side
of the pond, and came out by the old
barn where Bob Emmons was at work.
After q little talk, Lem left his gun and
fxings standing outside, and went into the
barn to look at the cattle, and passed
through to the cider mill, which stood
just beyond, for half days tramp in the
woods dry, you had better believe.
While he had gone, Bob, who was at
the bottom of all dcviltry done in the
neighborhood, dropped an extra charge
into each barrel of the gun,' and stood by
waiting for fun. Presently Amasa came
up the road with new hat on; the half
formed plan that floated in the brain of
Bob was instantly completed and put in-
to action as follows
Hailing Amasa,
Come quick says he, 'let's have
some fun with Lem. Well draw out
his shot, and bet he can't hit your hat
Capital good idea.' replied Amasa.-
Lem thinks he can shoot; we'll open his
eyes hey .
Bob carefully drew out all the shot he
had just put in, and pat the gun back
where he found it. Just then Lem came
back, having sucked cider enough to
make himself comfortable, and prepared
to go.
Halo, Lem says Amassa, what are
you toting that shootingiron about for 2
'Oh, it's way I've got, replied Lem,
sometimes chance to shoot, and then l
most always hit
Bet you can't hit my hat-six rods,
exclaimed Am&sa, bet an oyster supper
for the boys tonight
Done, says Lem, 'sctit up
Amasa put his hat on a post, and mea-
sured the six rods, bursting with suppress
sed laughter at the imaginary idea Of
LENS looks when he should find that he
couldn't hit hat six rods Bob chuck
led at the success of his plan, and Lem
pleased with the idea of winning the bet.
He brought the gun to his face to fire.
Double your bet and give it both bar
rels.' says Amasa.
Aye replied Lem, and he let drive,
right and left in quick succession
Before the smoke rolled away, Amsss
jumped forward with shout and a laugh
70 show Lem that he couldn't hit hat in
broad daylight. But---where was
1t! Bits of fur here and there, and a
miserable dilapidated 0reck Of a hat, that
liked as if all the woodcocks in Norfolk
S"s @ had struck their bills through it,

VINO haa l0'''bs wager,
