Progress Of Civilization in Japan.--
Captain Adams, of the U. S. N, who
has returned from Japan, gives some in
teresting Information about their prog
ress. The officials made many inqui-
ries of him about Commodore Perry, to
whom they sent messages of remem-
brance. The circular railroad and To-
comotive he took out had been put In
Yedo. and the Japanese could now man
ege them very well, the locomotive ma
king its trips every day. They had also
the life.boat in the water, with special
crew detailed for her. The magnetic
telegraph, however, was rather too diff.
ficult for them, and they had not succeed
ed in getting it to work properly. Du-
ring the visit of Com. Perry's squadron
they took measurements of tho store
ship Southampton, and they had YES
sci of the same model and Dimensions
nearly ready for launching. The old
Japanese law restricting tho size and
model of their junks has recently been
abrogated, and the government is now
ambitious to possess a naval squadron
similar to ours. From this fact 1t will
be seen how rapid is the growth Of new
ideas in this secluded nation, and what
vast changes must necessarily result
from their further Intercourse with Amer
leans.
The only American article they OBJ
jected to, was the Introduction Of ,relig-
ion. They preferred their own, and
the Commissioners returned to Captain
Adams bundle Of religious books
and tracts, which one of the American
chaplains had distributed among the
people, requesting him to take them
back to America. They demonstrated
at this attempt to prosolyte the Japan
ESQ as in violation oftho principles of
the treaty, and contrary to Japanese
law.

Douglass Jerrold's Opinion of tho
r. American Party.

In the columns of Loyd's Weekly Review
edited by Douglass Jerrold, one Of the most
able writers of the age, we find the follow
Ing interesting article. He says
Parties are many in America. They rise
like mushrooms and fade like mist. Every
Presidential election brings crop of them
they rage for q day-are heard for a week
and forgotten in month. Such are The
Stewards and Fillmorite Hards and the
Softs, and many more. These come up with
certain men, and fall ou, of sight when the
men do SO. Other parties remain like the
Free Soilers and Pro.Slavers because they
represent ideas personify confict--whicli
are permanent on the American soil.
Most of these parties are well known in
England, and they are all worth studying
for the politics of America are the politics
of the future. AS the French diploma fists

Some of the Immigrants, especially the
Irish, brought mischief with .hem-eyl

America for Americans" And surely this
cry is as reasonable as Italy for the Ital-

in America. They seek to deprive the i'm

Their motto is Protection TO all--Power

An Angel in Every House.

There is an G1eget In every house!
No matter how fallen the inmates,
how depressing their circumstances,
there is an angel there to pity or to
cheer. 1t may be in the person of a
little child; or it may be enclosed in a
STOPPING and wrinkled body, treading
the downward path to the grave. Or,
perhaps, in acheerful spirit, looking
upon the ills of life as so many steps
toward heaven, if only bravely over
come, and mounted with sinless feet.
We knew such an angel once, and it
was q drunkard' S child. On every side
wherever she moved she saw only mise
ry and degradation, and yet She did
not fall. Her father was brutal and
her mother discouraged, and her home
thoroughly comfortlcss. But she strug-
gled along with angel endurance, bear
ing with an almost sanity patience,
the infirmities of him who gave her cx-
Iistence, and then hourly ombittorod it.
Night after night, at the hours of ten,
twelve, and even one, barefoot, ragged,
shawlless and bonnetless, has she been
to the den of the drunkard, and gone
staggering home with her arm around
her father. Many a time has her flesh
been blue with the mark of his hand,
when she has stepped in between her
helpless mother and violence. Many
a time has she set upon the cold curb
stone with his head in her lap; many
q time known how bitter it was to cry
for hunger when the money that should
have brought bread was spent for rum.
And the patience that the angel
wrought with, made her young face
shine, so that though never acknowl-
edged in the courts of this world, in
the kingdom of heaven she was waited
for by assembled hosts of spirits, and
the crown of martyrdom ready, lay a.
waiting her fair young brow.
And she was a martyr. Her gentle
spirit went up from couch of anguish /;
anguish brought on by ill-usage and
neglect. And never till then did the
father recognize the angel in the child;
never till then did his manhood arise
from the dust of it's dishonor. From
her humble grave, he went away to
steep his resolves for the better in BIT
ter tears; and he will tell you to-day,
how the memory of her much enduring
life, keeps him from the bowl; how he
goes sometimes and stands where her
patient hands have held him, while her

holds, and cherish them while they are
among you. 1t may be that all uncon-
sciously you frown upon them, when q
smile would lead you to a knowledge of
their exceeding worth. They may be
among the least cared for, most despis-
ca; but when they are gone with their
silent influence, then will you mourn
Tor them as for jewel of great worth.

"save the Man with the Red Hair"

1t requires great GOODNESS and exper-
ience to stear course down tho rapids
of tho Saulte st. Marie; and short
time before our arrival, two Americans
had ventured to descend them without
boatsman, and were consequently upset
AS tho story was reported to US one Of
them owed his salvation to singular
coincidence, AS the accident took
place Immediately opposite tho town,
many of the inhabitants were attracted
TO the bank Of tho river to watch the
struggles of the unfortunate, thinking
any attempt at rescue would be hope
less. Suddenly. however person ap.
pcared rushing toward the groupe, fran
tic with excitement. Save the man
with the red hairH' he vehemently
shouted; and the excrtions which were
made i'll consequence of his earnest ap-
peal proved successful, and the red-hair-
ed indwidual,in an exhausted condition,
was safely landed. "He owes me
eighteen dollars" said his rescuer,
drawing long breath and looking APP
provingly on his assistants. The red
haired mans friend had not q creditor
at the Sault, and, in default of COM
peting claim, was allowed to pay his
debt to nature. "And l'll tell you what
stranger" said the narrator of the fore
going incident, complacently drawing q
moral theretrom, ia man'll never know
how necessary he is to society, if he
don't make his life valuable to his
friends as we'll as to his self. Black
