the first offer for, the United States, which
was BY an English brig; but the third day

war with England, captured them and he
was taken to France. After many long
months Of suffering and delay, he reached
America again, but all his exertions were un-
able to discover the residence Of Brown.
When the war broke out, he entered the
army, and had thus 10y chance, in an attempt
to capture traitor, discovered the object of

eventually became his bride, and formed the
source of his happiness, and soothed the de-
clining years of her veteran father.

gambled. To avoid opportunities to games
which were generally accompanied with bet

had an aversion which rarely yielded to any

Religion in Japan.

The temples, chiefly Buddhists. are beau-
tfully situated in the suburbs. The entrance
to them generally leads through rows ofele
giant trees and wild camelias. They are
large plain structures with high peaked roofs,
resembling the houses pictured on Chinese
porcelain. In the space Immediately in

eral roughly hewn stone idols The door

Dragons, and other animals carved in wood.
Upon entening, there is nothing special a.
bout the buildings worth noting, the naked
sides and exposed rafters having gloomy
appearace. The altar is the only object that
attracts attention. Some of the idols on
these affairs are similar to those seen in the
churches in italy. The priests count beads,
shave the head, and wear analogous robes,
and the service is attended by the ring of
bells, the lighting of candles, and the burn
ing of incense. In fact, except that the cross
Is nowhere to be seen, one could easily i'm
agine himself within a Roman Catholic place
of worship. During the seventeenth centu-
ry, Christianity was introduced by the Jesu-
ties, and for time made rapid progress; but
the missionaries, inflated by success, became
naughty and presumtuous, and beginning to
interfere in politics and government, brought
about violent persecution. So deadly a
hatred was conceived against the Portugees,
that iii the space of forty years, they and
their religion were completely extirpated.
Even to this day in certain parts of the en-
pire, the custom Of trampling on the Cross
is annually celebrated. To such pitch

forms of the two religions is strikingly re-
markable, and is an interesting fact in refer

Church of Rome, as it is still undetermined
whether they originated with herself or were
borrowed from Pagans. Great liberty Of
conscience exists. Every Japanese has a
right to profess whatever faith he plcases,

THE day was retreating to the west and
evening was preparing to cast her gloom
around, for as yet il was scarce possible. to
say that the brightness had diminished /; the
hour appeared as though n thin cloud had
,nellowed the light which hung in the valley,
yet the glowing appearance OF the forest on
the western hills, showed where the sun was
sinking--a few clouds that had been floating
to and fro in the heavens during some hours
past, were gradually melting away and leav-
ing the wide blue arch puse and unobscured;
throughout the valley all was silent and
calm q mill was there, but its ffoise, which
had echoed amongst the rocks during the
fore part of the day, was now hushed and
still, and the slight mariner of the water
from the dam alone could be heard ; this was
abeautiful sheet OF water, on which the dark
shadows from the neighboring hills were
fast gathering.
A solitary urchin stood or rock project

one which was bench, and hereon reclined
n man who constituted with tho fisher, the
only animated objects of the scene.

u Affection.

WE sometimes meet with men who think
that any indulgence in an s!fectionate feeling
is weakness. They return from journey
and treat their families with distant digni-
ty, and move among their children with the
cold and lofty spIendor of an iceberg, sur
rounded with its broken fragments. HI
There is hardly more unnatural sight
on earth than one Of these families without
heart. A father had better extinguish his
boys eyes than take away his heat. Who,
that has experienced the joys of friendship,
and values sympathy and affection, would
not rather lose alfthat is beautiful in natures
scenery than TO be robbed of the hidden
treasures Of his hcarti Cherish then, your
hearts best, and purest affections. Indulge
in the warm, and gushing, and inspiring emo
tons Of filial, parental, love. Think il not q
weakness. God is love- love God, everybo-
dy aud every one tha. is lovely. Teach your
children to love---to love the rose, the robin;
to love their God. Let it be the studied OBJ
ject Of their domestic culture to give them
warm hearts and ardent affections. Bind
your whole family together by these stF0ng
cords. You cannot make them Too stronR

and thirty three seamen. Within fortnight
after her departure, frightful hurricane
swept over the Bay of Bengal, which lasted
three or four days, causing great many
melancholy casualties. Several small vcss-

and the Plvto steamer, belonging to the East
