The fcuiIletonist Of the Courier des

say: last Tuesday there was fete at
one of the houses in New York most cele
brated for the perfect elegance and distin,

In an interval of the dance, my attention

The groups of takers opened to allow her
to pass, but there WAS delay of a moment
before she could reach the mistress OF the
house. At that moment chance brought
her in contact with an elegant woman who
has shone sometime in society, and shines
there still; but some of the rose leaves IN

One of the two was delicate tioret OF

BEAUTIFUL AND TRUE.-In late arti-
Gle in Frazer's Magazine, this brief but
beautiful passage occurs: Education
does not commence with the alphabet. 1t
begins with a mothers look-with faith
ers smile of appreciation or sign ofreproof
with a sisters gentle pressure of the
hand, or brothers noble act of forbear-
ance-with handsfull of flowers in green
and daisy meadow-with birds nests ad-
mired but not touched-with creeping
ants and almost imperceptible emmets-
with humming bees and glass beehives-
with pleasant walks in shady lanes, and
with thoughts directedin sweet and kindly
tones, and words to mature to acts of ben
evidence, to deeds Of virtue, and to the
sense of all good, to God himself"

Hvish Emigration to America.

The Dublin correspondent of the Lon
don Times, under date Of Epril 2, writes:
For nearly two years or SO it was gen
erally supposed that the exodus of the Irish
peasantry was accomplished, and that un
Ill aLother generation arose we should
hear no more of that marvellous decrease in
the population which followed the famine
Of 1915 6. The figures, however, supplied
by Mr.. Donnely's last statistics have dis
sipated that idea. and their thrutbfulness
has been corroberatsd by the accounts
which have come from the provinces since
the opening of the emigration season. Ad
vices from Cork of oaturdafs date state
that on the previous day upward Of 500
passengers were embarked at Queenstown,
for New York, on board the Edinburg, by
the local agents, Messrs. G. and ". D.
Seymour g. Co. The Messrs Scott also
embarked large number of passengers in
the Anglo Saxon for Portland. The emf
grants were many Of them, attended as
far as Queenstown by their relatives and
friends, and the scenes presented on the
piers and quavs as they parted was one of
GREAT animation and interest. From the
port Of Sligo it is stated that during the
past month there has been regular flight
Of emierants from the west of Ireland. On
Friday nearly 200 emigrants passed
through Sligo for America by way of Iiy-
erpool. not to speak Of those going by CAL
way. The great majority Of them were
from Belmulet. in the county Of Mayo
A considerable number also belonged to
The county of Sligo. The tide Of emigra-

Japau--Arcadi dia Realize d.

While some Of the civilized nations Of
our globe have prided themselves on the
attention they have given to public sduca-
ton, they have only followed the example
of the Japanese. This singular people
have mos. decided literary taste, and they
believe in educating the. e.masses." The
children are almost invariably sent to
schools in which they learn reading and
writing, and are taught the history of their
country. Books are constantly printed,
and are said to meet with large cireuls-
ton, and it would seem that tue Japanese
are really as much reading people as
some who are deemed more civilized than
they. With them education seems to have
produced marked results. Drunkenness
and vice are rare. and beggars are seldom
met with. Theft seems crime of which
they are ignorant, since lsck and keys are
but little used. Then, too, though it is
hard to believe it, lawyers are class Of
men unknown to Japan and perhaps this
is one cause of peace and good will which
seems to exist among the people. There,
every man is his own lawyer. The injur
ed party states his case to the magistrate,
and the accused is heard in reply. The
magistrate examines the witnesses, and
passes sentence, (which" says Commo-
dore Perry, "is carried into effect instdH-
ter" There, there are no motions for ar
rest of judgment-no motions for new
trials, no appeals of any kind and vet
justice is generally obtained-quite often-
sr, perhaps, than it is here, and that, too,
at less expense, and more expeditiously.
Sometimes parties are ordered to settle
their difficulties with the aid Of their
friends.
Then, when persons are put in prison,
there is no distinction made between the
rich and the poor-both fare alike. The
rich man can have good food if he wants
it, but only on one condition, that he
shares it with all lis fellow prisoners
There is another point, in regard to which
the japanese are in advance of some other
nations, and this is a roint which we at
this city at least can appreciate-there is
little or no taxation. The revenues are
derived from rents of land owned by the
crown. Really, it would seem from what
we have learned of Japan, thatit approach
es nearer the Arcadia of Sir Phillip Sidney,
than any portion of the civilized world -
A place in which there are no lawyers, in
which there is no taxation, in which murs
der, robbery, theft and begging are al
most unknown, and where tbs people are
educated, and refined and elegant in their
tastes, must be desirable spot to reside
| in.

that they were seen occasionally walking
along St. Charles street in their cheap
hoopless dresses and white sun bonnets :
and it has been ascertained that they have

THx Dying NEVER WEEP-It is = stri-
king fact-the dying never sceep. The
circle of .obbing, agonized hearts produces
not one tear. Is it that lie is insensibe

That cannot be; for he asks for his faith

be because the dying have reached that
point too deep for our earthly crying and
weeping. They are face to face with ho

WHY DOES Iron RUsr?-Few persons,
we think, really understand this question
or know the cause The rusting of iron,
which proceeds so rapidly when it is ex
posed to damp air, is caused by the at
traction which the metal has for oxygen.
1t is very remarkable that iron is unable
to combine with the free oxygen always
in the air, but is liable to take it from va
ter, its compound with hydrogen; for we
find that in dry air iron remains bright
and clean for a long time, but very rapid
ly rusts when exposed to the joint action
of air, carbonic acid gas and moisture,
under which circumstances water is de-
composed and oxyd Of iron formed. -

Some years ago, SAYS tie I'etersburgh
Press, lady residing IN Pennsylvania
sent her only child a son. TO Europe, to
look after certain property that had been
bequeathed to her bv a relative IL Belgi
nm. The sum was large one, and would
have placed her far beTond the necessity
Of labor. The property was secured, and
the son wrote home that he would return
in the steamer Pacjfc with the funds OBJ
tanned from its sale The Pacjfc never
reached the shores OF America and it is
supposed that all on board Of her perished.
The old lady was jucolsoiabe for a long
while, but time finally sofeued her grief
She removed to Petersburgh, and for p

mediate neighbors for her industry and
charity.
On Thursday last a stranger called upon
her. lie was bearded to the eyes, and his
rnein be:okeneI one who had seen much
of the world. She received him kindly,
and he began to speak o. her son. She
recognized his voice-the veil Of wears
was lifted from her eves-the olden time
came back to her like long forgotten
dream, and she knew her offspring.
His story is readily related. He did
not leave in the Pacific, but was taken i'll
in London with the bilious fever. During
lis sickness he was robbed Of all he pos
sessei. Upon his recovery he dared not
return home peuniIess, and therefore re-
paired TO France. Finliur no employ
ment, lie made bis way to Russia, where
he obtained situation upon oae Of the
government railways, then under the su~
perintendencc Of Joseph Harrison, Jr,
Esq, Of Philadelphia. Accunulaiing n
handsome sum, lie returned TO France, AMI
