JAPAN ABOUT TO TAKE A LooK.--The
London News states that accounts have
been received from Japan to the llth OF
November, and adds:
They confirm the fact already an
nounced of the approaching visit to Eu-
rope OF Prince Tzi kuzen, the nephew
of the Emperor. He was to embark a.
bout the end of December, at Simoba,
with a numerous suite, on board the
Dutch vessel the Samarang, chartered
for the purposes by the Japan govern,
ment. He will visit France, England
Russia, Holland. and return by way OF
& America. Among the persons com
posing his suite are two Japan engineers,
whose mission will be to
to the system of railways, The engi-
neers, who are very intelligent men,
have already been charged by the En-.
peror to fit up an electric telegraph
which was given to his Majes;y BY the
American Pienipotentiary when the
treaty of commerce was signed between
those two countries. The telegraph,
which goes from the summer palace OF
the Emperor to Jeddo, his capital a dis.
lance of aboul six miles, works perfect.

A Mothers Love

Some of orr readers NAV recollect a thrill
ling ballad which was written on the death
of a woman who p~erished in the snow-dr;fts
of the Green Mountains. of Vermont. That
mother bore an infant on her bosom, and
when the storm waxed loud and furious, true
to a mothers love. she rent her " gar
ments and wrapped them around her babe.
The morning found her a stiffened corpse,
but her babe survived. That babe grew to
manhood, and became the Speaker of the
Ohio Senate, How thrilling must be his
thoughts of that mother, il he be a true,
large-hearted man! How deep a mothers
love. How many a mother is there who
would die fer her son, if called il Providence
to do so. Let sons, when far away from
home, on the land or on the sea, when the
eye Of no mother is upon them, remember
her love, and be restrained by it from enter
ing the path of vice. Let them sap nothing,
do nothing, which a mother would not ap-
prove, and they will never bring down her
gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.

POETRY SoBERED DowN.-I'm thinking
of the time, Kate, when sitting by thy side.
and picking beans, | gazet. on thee, and felt
a peacock's pride. In silence leaned we
DER the pan, and neither spoke a word, but
the rafting of the beans, KATE, was all the
sound we heard. Thy auburn curls hung
down Kate, and kissed thy little cheek; thy
azure eves, half filled with tears, bespoke a
spirit meek. To be SO charmed as | was
then. had ne'er before occurred, when the
rafting of the beans, Kate, was all the
sound | heard. thought was not wrong
Kate; so leaning u'er the dish, as you snat'
ched up a lot of beans, / snatched a nectar.
ed kiss. A sudden shower made blind my
eyes, | neither saw nor stirred, hut the rat
ting of the beans, Kate, was all tine sound

From St. Louis.

March 1.-THE steamer Lady Wal
ker arrived at jefferson Barracks yester-
day, with 200 troops from Fort Smith.
The steamer Arkansas. with 200 troops
from the same post. was sunk $50 miles

whether any lives are lost. The troops
belonged 10 the 18th regiment Of infantry
and are destined for Utah The Council
Bluffs Bugle of the Sd says Mr Wingate
has just arrived from Salt Lake, January
95th. Reports no snow in Salt Lake
Valley, and very little in the mountains
He came by a route only known to the
Mormons and mountaineers, BY which
horsemen in SINCE file can pass an
army undiscovered. The route passes
between perpendicular rocks. IS miles,
many places only three feet wide. and
completely covered by rock roof. Nor
mons are manufacturing small cannon,
With percussion locks and telescope
sights, to carry two pounds with as
much certainty as a common rife one
hundred and twenty yards. They are
making 500 revolvers per week, and
making coarse powder for mining pur-
poses. There was a skirmish between
the Mormons and the picket guard OF
the army. Two of the, former killed,
and four of tn latter reported killed.
Young is willing for civil officers to
come into the Territory and enter upon
their duties. but if the army attempts to
enter the Valley, they will be resisted.
On the 24th of January, Young preached
to nine thousand people, all of whom
rose when Young requested all in favor
of giving the troops hell. to rise. A
letter from Capt. Marcy. dated Taos,
January 23th, says he was ifty-seven

-RATTLESNAkES.--A queer genius
tells the following: In a village, which
] need 10 name. there resided a family.
consisting of an old man by the name
of Beaver, and his three sons, all OF
whom were hard spets,' and who had
often laughed to scorn the advice and
entreaties of a pious, though very eccen-
trio minister, who resided in the same
town. 1t happened that one of the boys
was bitten by a rattlesnake, and was eA.
pected to die. when the minister was
sent for in great haste. On his arrival
he found the young man very penitent
and anxious to be prayed with. The
minister, calling on the family, kneeled
down and prayed in this wise:
% Lord, we thank thee for rattle.
snakes; we thank thee because a rattle
snake has bit Jim. We pray thee send
a rattlesnake to bite John; and one to
bite Bill; send one to bite Sam; and, .
Lord, send the biggest kind of n rattle.
snake to bite the old man; for nothing
but rattlesnakes will Eve bring the
Beaver family to repentance

Avoid the March Rains.

Now is the time above all others, when
farmers should be doubly careful of Their
stock. One day for any ANIMAL in a cod
March raIn,is worse than a weeks exposure
in cold dry winter weather. And the a.
mount lost by such exposure annot be re-
sainet In less than a week of good careful
feeding. We may a, least assert that one
such day D be counteracied in less thar
three days on the grass. One Fac, is worthy
Of notice just here. Many farmers ALLOW
their stock-especially cattle. to become so
poor, BY their feeding and neglect, during
the winter months, that they will scarcely
weigh as much at the first Of July, as they
had done at the first of December previous;
and they have but the remaining summer
months to make any improvement. This.
to many, at fist thought. may seem an ex-
travagent expression; but it will bear inyes-
LEGATION, and all we want is that farmers in-
vestigate il soon. If the stock are kept
housed and warm, fed plentifu'iy, they in
crease iE weight even in the worst weather.
In this way a little expense will save a
great loss, and create a great gain. We
hope farmers will lock to this.
Young calves are likely to get stunted by
these cold rains, and will never pay for the
raising, hence the necessity Of keeping 'hem
dry snd warm.
Lambs will die under a few hours expos
ure to a cold rain at this season, and hun
dreds are lost just in this way. Weakly
sheep also soon sink under it, and should
always be under roof, with dry bedding
Sheep want a dry atmosphere.
