JAPANESE MARRIAGES "A very eingu-
lar custom at the marriage Of the Japan
ese 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 a widow.
Another circumstance is, at the birth of
every child, to plant tree in the garden
or courtyard, which attains It's full growth
in as many years a man requires to be
mature for tie duties Of marriage. When
he marrries, the tree is cut down, and the
wood Is made into chests and boxes to
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 probib-
tied but they can marry any other rela-
tive.

From the Meadville pa New Era.
The Labor-Call.

Hark! a sound of agitation
OF the hoary Empires shaking;
'Tis the rising of the nations,
And mind, its letters breaking:
See the throne and the oppressor,
Tremble at the sound and sight;
And the rightful soul possessor
Leaping chainless to the light.
We have passed the night ofages,
There's glory bursting now,
North and South, where ocean RACES,
Men to conflict rush, and vow
Deeds unblazoned yet in story
Yet not or the field of blood,
But where Error, old and hoary,
Lifts defiant hands TO God
Where the trampled Soul is rising,
Like the Phoenix from its grave,
And the Turk the Gaul surprising,
Filings The free cry 10 his wave:
And delighted Lore is pointing
o her alchymv at last,
And fair Freedom, new amounting.
Shakes her scepter Ger the Past.
Who will help to break the fetter
Men of marvel and of grace,
Should a gone age test be better
Than this need-time of our race?
Who ,yiIl hold each revolution,
With firm and steady hand
Keep the soul back from pollution,
Bursting chainless Ger the land2
Come-not to the slain and dying,
But to noble fields offght;
Where the fallen truth is lying,
Come and battle for the right.
Labrer, patriot and reformer,
Not the lying, hireling fry
Men OF truth, on with your armor,
Hear the suffering millions cry.
