changed much in all these years, in size,
paper, and editorials. Its size at first,
was eight by ten. The paper was thin,

little variety. Tales, poems, fables,

japanese Marriages.

A very singular custom at the mar.
riage Of the Japanese is. that the
teeth of the bride are made black by
Some corrosive liquid. The teeth remain
black ever after, and serve to show that
the woman is married, or widow
Another circumstances is, at the birth
Of every child, TO plant a tree in the
garden or court yard, which attains its
full growth in as many years as man re-
quires to be mature for the dut les Of
marriage. When he marries the tree
is cut down, and the wood is made into
chests and boxes 10 contain the clothes
and other things which are made for the
new married couple. The japanese may
marry as often as they please: marriages
with sisters are prohibited; but they car
marry with any other relative.

We are induced to speak Of this road,
simply because We regard it as one oil the
mos,-if not the most-important pub
lie movements of this or any other age.

advantages arising from such commu'
nication are apparent, from what has
followed as result Of the sparse trade
now had with the people Of Southern
Asia. But the Suez Canal, which ha
already swallowed up more than mil

The euintesSence Of Learning

There was once in certain part Of In.
iia such voluminous library, that one
thousand camcls we're requisite for its
transport, and one hundred Brahmins
had to be paid for the care. The King
felt no inclination 10 wade through
this heap Of learning himself, and ORDER
ed his we'll fed librarians to furnish him
with an extract for his private use.-
They sci to work, and in about twenty
years time they produced nice little
Encyclopedia, which might have been
easily carried by thirty camols. But
enough to read the preface. The inde
fatigable Brahmins began therefore a
fresh, and reduced the thirty cargoes in
to so small substance that singh
ass marched away with it in comfort
But the Kingly dislike for reading
had incre ased with age, and his servant
wrote upon a palm leaf-"The quin
tessence of all sciences consists in the
little word, PERHAPS! Three express

AN1R1sHxAN's EXPERIENCE.

$ sad;-
Twice have sailed the Atlantic DER,
Twice dwelt an exile in the west;
Twice did kind natures skill restore
The quiet Of my troubled breast
As moss upon rtted tree,
So time its gentle cloaking did,
But though the wound no eye could see'
Deep in my heart the barb was hid.
I felt weight where'er went
Ifelt void within my brain.
NV day hopes and my dreams were oleh'
With sable threads Of mental pain;
NV eye delighted not to look
On forest old, or rapids grand;
The strangers 10 scarce could brook
NV heart was in my own dear land.
Where'cr l turned some emblem STILL
Reused consciousness upon my track;
Some hill was like an Irish hill,
Some wild birds whistle called me BACK
Asea. bound ship bore of my peace
Between its paite cold 1ings Of ,ooe;
Oh if I had but wings like these'
Where my peace went too would go!

China-PrOgress Of the Revolution
Threatened attack on Fuh. .Chau.

"In our late dispatches" says J. p.
Durbin, Corresponding Secretary of
missions, 'from our mission at Fuh. Chau
We have the following intelligence from
Rev. DR.. Wiley, dated ct Fun.Chau,
May 9th, which is at your services"
81 must now communicate some other
important matters. You will have
heard, through our brethren at Hong
Kong, an account OF the difficulties
which have Unexpectedly arisen at Annoy
and which threw US into immediate dan.
ger here. This movement has came up.
on US all very suddenly aud without any
previous Indications.
Gas yet the insurgents have no con.
nection with the northern revolutionary
army; but doubtless the insurrection is
only another expression Of the rebel
ious feeling arising through the country
"Brother Doty, Of Annoy, informs us
that the rebels have addressed com
munication to the army in the north,
proposing 10 join it, and that the imme.
diatc object Of the movement is the cap
ture OF this province which they design
10 present to the new Emperor.
"On the goth inst. large part ofthei
force left Annoy, en- route for Fuh' Cha,
which, they say they will attack by SET
and by land. We are now in daily ex
pec,ation Of their arrival here.
"Tho people are considerably excited
but the authorities have succeeded il
persuading them that there is no danst
, of nm attack on this city, which doe
much to calm them, and which viii
probably have the good effect of keep

THE DOUBLE MARRIAGE.
ny THE COUNTESS D'AUTIcHAMp

The political dissentions that have as.
itated Spain for more than twenty year,
have forced many families to leave their
country, and seek more tranquil home
e,.ewhere. Bordeaux, for instance, con'
tains mole than twenty thousand Span
;ords; and in this city happy sympathy
artists between the indigenous popula'
ton and strangers.
The Gascon character, frank, quick
light and resolute, blends easily with the
violent passionateness Of the Spanlards;
and the Castillian gravity equally accom-
modates itself with the vain frankness Of
Bord.lais. The demands Of society and
the interests Of commerce Lave done the
rest: and therefore have arisen frequent
marriages, and bonds, which have oil the
permsuency Of friendship.
In 49,, the Countess Of Alcantara
came 10 reside at Bordeaux. II was no.
asked whether a political or any o.he
cause obliged her to leave Madrid' wher'
4, .anear, she was little known. Sh'

MEMORY.
FROM LoNGrELTow's GOLDEN LEGEND

FROM LONGFELLOwS GOLDEN LEGEND'
I cannot sleep; my !ervid brain
Calls up the vanished past again,
And throws its misty splendor deep
Into The pallid realms sleep!
A breath f,Om that far distant shore
Comes frcshening cvermore and more,
And WATTS DER intervening seas
Sweet olors from the IIcspcrdes!
A wind that through The corridor
Just stirs the curtain, and no more,
And touching the eolian strings,
Faints with the burden that il brings!
Come back! ye frienpshps long departed!
That like o. 'ernowng sireamlets started,
And now are dwindcd one by one,
To stony channels in The Sun!
Come back! yc friends whose lives are ended
Come back, with all that light attended,,
Which scem'd to darken and decay
When ye arose and went away!
They conc, the shapes of joy and woe.
The airy crowds of long ago;
The dreams and fancies known OF yore,
They change the cloister Of the night
Into garden Of delight;
They make the dark'antl dreary hours
Open and blossom into flowers!
would not sleep! love to be
Alone in their fair company;
But ere my lips can bid them stay,
They pass and vanish quite away!
Alas. our memories fhay retrace
Each circumstance of time and place;
Season and scene come back again,
And outward things unchanged remain;
The rest we cannot feinstate,
Ourselves we cannot rccrca!e,
Nor get our souls to the same key.
OF the remembered harmony!
Rest! rest! Ogive me rest, peace!
The thought of love that ne'er shall cause
Has something in it like despair,
4 weight am to weak to bear!
Sweeter to this afflicted breast
The thought of ncver-ending rest!
Sweetcr the undisturb'd d and deep
Tranquility Of endless sleep!
