judgment in favor of Martin Gallagher, and
against the bark Yankee, which carried Gala
CHER to Honolulu in 1856, by command of the
Vigilance Committee, sad
I" 1t has appeared to me, that for tort of this
kind, high handed and deliberate, in open and
contemptuous violation Of hitherto supposed in
violable rights of the citizen, the court should
award exemplary damages. 1t is of the last i'm
portance that masters and agents of ships should
learn that, whatever be the power that in mo-
ments of popular excitement, illegal bodies OF
men may usurp and for a time exercise, and how
ever impotent the local laws OF State may be
found, yet, in American vessels on the high seas.

similar bodies stops at least with the shore and

~ REGIMENT OF GIANTs-Carlyle in his "Life
of Frederick the Great" makes allusion as fol-
lows to some of the large men who formed the
famous Potsdam regiment organized by Freder-
lex William, the father of that monarch:

never saw before or since Three Battalions of
them-two always here at Potsdam doing form
al life-guard duty, the third at Brandenburg on
drill; 500 to the Battalion, 400 sons of Anak
IN all. Sublime enough, hugely perfect to the
royal eye; such mass of shining giants, in their
-bng-drawn regularities and mathematical ma
n9uverings, like some streak of Promethean
lightning realized here at last in the vulgar
dusk of thingsl
Truly they are men supreme in discipline, in
beauty Of equipment and the shortest man oi

"CoUSr THEM."-Count what? Why, count
the mercies that have been quietly falling in
your path through every period of your history.
Down they come-every morning and every
evening, as angel messengers from the Father of
Light to tell you of your best friend in heaven
Have you lived these years wasting merces,
treading them under your feet, and consuming
them every day, and never yet realizing from
whence they came? Doyou ask what are these
mercies? Ask the sun beam, the rain-drop, the
stars, or the Queen of Night. What is your life
but a mercy? What is the propriety of stop
ping to play with thorn bush, when you may
just as well pluck sweet flowers and eat pleas
ant fruits? Happy is he who looks at the bright
side of life, of providence and of revelation
Who avoids thorns, thickets and boughs until
his christian character is such, that if he cannot
improve them, he may pass among them with
out injury. Count mercies before you complain
of Affections Pacific Methodist

THE SOLAR ECLfPsE.-Leut. Gillis sent out by
our Government to observe the solar eclipse in
Peru, has met with complete success in his OBJ
servations. gentleman who accompanied
Lieut.. G. gives the following description of the
eclipse, which transpired on the eth of Septem-
Der:
{" Mr.. Gillis had eaten nothing for three days,
and was SO weak that he could scarcely sit up.
He was so very feeble that he hoped the morn
ing would be cloudy, as he felt he could not do
justice to the work before him. But when the
morning came he was much better.
The horizon was entirely obscured by clouds,
and We feared our journey had been in vain. By
degrees, however, that spot at which the sun
came over the mountains cleared, and though
we did not see the beginning of the eclipse, yet
long before its totalty the sky was clear, and in
that part alone. Mr.. Gillis had very success
full observation, and determined some new fea-
lures of the phenomena. As totality approached
the darkness became almost complete The birds
ceased singing, the laborers ceased working,
and all nature assumed a ghastly look As |
was obliged to keep record of the barometers, |
had not much opportunity to observe closely the
appearance of the sun. got glimpse, how
ever, and saw the coronal light burst out from
around the moon, and saw quite distinctly the
protuberance of solar clouds shining brilliantly
at four points of the moons circumference. Ii
was so dark during total observation that was
obliged to hold the chronomcters close to the
light OF lantern in order to note time"

The LADIES OF JAPAN.-The women of Japan
are not so immaculate as some of our letter.
writers represent. They are only innocent in
consequence of the fact that their standard OF
virtue is quite different from ours, and practices
which would disgrace woman here are to be
tolerated there. The women who serve the tea
in the public gardens are women of loose char
actcr. At Nippon it is difficult even to guess at
their plumber, SO numerous are they. This class
of women are not looked upon in Japan with
the same contempt as here on the contrary,
they frequently make good marriages, and are
invariably well and kindly treated and in cases
where they have been purchased by the keepers
of such houses, from their parents, when very
young, these men, if the girls give promise OF
beauty, expend considerable sums on their edu-
cation, and in teaching them various accom-
plishments.

The following most admirable piece of pen
Inning anil wholesome philosophy IS by Harriet
Beecher Stowe, in the " Independents" newspa-
per, whence we find it transferred to the Editors
Table of the Incompatible Knickerbocker Mag
azine:
"EFery body wants to know what to do with
Charley every body is quite sure that he can't
stay where they are. The cook can't have him
in the kitchen, where he iEfests the pantry to
get flour to make paste for his kites, OF melt lard
in the new saucepan. II he goes in the wood
shed, he is to pull tn 8 wood pile down upon
hs head. If he be sent up into the garret, you
think for while that you haTe settled the prob
lem, till you find what boundless field fer ac-
tiyity is at once opened, amid all the packages
boxes, barrels, and cast-off rubbish there Old
letters, newspapers, trunks of miscellaneous con-
tents, are all rummaged, and the very reign Of
chaos and old night instituted. He sees endless
capacities in ALL and he is always hammering
something, or knocking something apart, saw
ing, planning, or drawing boxes and barrels in
all directions to build cities or lay railroad
tracks, till every body's head aches quite down
20 the lower floor, and every body declares that
Charley must be kept out of the garrett"
If you send him to school, in the hope to be
rid of him, for few hours at least he comes
home noisier and more breezy than ever:
He can dance like Jim Smith he has learn
ed to smack his lips like Joe Brown and Will
Briggs has shown him how to NEW like a cat
and he enters the premises with a new war
whoop, learned from Tom Evans. He feels large
and valorous he has learned that he is a boy
and has a general impression that he IS growing
immensely strong and knowing and despises
more than ever the conventionalities of parlo1
life."
q But rude, and busy, and noisy as be is and
irksome as carpet rules and parlor ways are tc
him, he is stI social little creature, and want:
to be where the rest of the household are. A
room ever so well adapted for play canno,
charm him at the hour when the family is in
reunion; he hears the voices in the parlor, and
his play-room seems desolate. 1t may be warm
cd by furnace, and lighted with gas butit is
human warmth and light he shyers for lie
yearns for the talk Of the family, which he SC
imperfectly comprehends, and he longs to take
his play-things down and play by you.
Let him stay with you at least some portion
OF every day bear his noise and his ignorant
ways. Put aside your book or work to tell him
a story, or show him picture; devise still par
lor plays for him let him have some place in
your house where it shall be no sin to hammer
and pound, and make all the litter his heart de-
sires and his various schemes require. Even il
you can i'll afford the room, weigh we'll between
that safe asylum ard one which, if denied he
may make for himself in the street.
All these things make trouble, to be sure
they do; but Charley is to make trouble that
Is the nature of the institution: you are only
TO choose between safe and wholesome trouble
and the trouble that comes at last like whirl-
wind.r

more beautiful than the following:
Lords Prayer Illustrated.

Lords Prayer Illustrated.
Our Father
By right of creation:
BY bountifnl provision,
BY gracious adoption,
Who art in Heaven
The throne of thy glory:
The portion of thy children,
The temple of thy angels,
Hallowed be thy name
By the thoughts of our hearts,
BY the words of our lips,
BY the works of our hands
Ply Kingdom come
Of Providence to defend US,
Of grace to refine US,
OF glory to crown u.s.
Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven
Toward us without resistance,
BY us without compulsion,
Universally without exception,
Eternaly without declension,
Give us this day our daily bread
Of necessity for our bodies
Of eternal life for our souls,
And forgive us our trespasses-
Against the commands Of thy law,
Against the grace of thy gospel,
As we forgive them that trespass against US
By defaming our characters,
By embezzling our property,
BY abusing our persons,
And lead US not into temptation, but deli7cr us
from evil.
Of overwhelming Affections,
of worldly enticemepts,
Of Satans Devices
OF errors seductions,
Of sinful affections;
For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the
glory forever
Thy kingdom governs all,
Thy power subdues ALL
Thy glory is above all.
Amen.
As it is in thy purposes,
So it is in thy promises
So be it in our prayers;
So it shall be in thy praise.

UNwRITTEN PoErRY.-Far down in the depth
of the human heart there is fountain of pure
and hallowed feeling, from which at times,
swells up tide OF emotions which words are
powerless to express-which the soul alone can
appreciate. Full many hearts overhowing with
sublime thoughts and holy imaginings, need but
the "pen of fire. to hold the enraptured thous-
ands in their spells. The q thoughts that
breathe" are there, but not u the words that
burn" Natures own inspiration fills the heart,
with emotions too deep for utterance, and with
the poetry of the heart lies forever concealed in
its own mysterious shrine.
Unwritten poetry 1t is stamped upon the
broad blue sky; it wrinkles in every star. 1t
mingles in the ocean surge, and glitters in the
dewdrop that gems the llly's bell. 1t gows in
gorgeous columns of declining day, and rests in
the unobscured crest of the gathering storm
cloud 1t is on the mountains height, and in
the tiny flower; whereer we can see the hand
of God, there beauty finds here dwelling place
