It'll time this absurd expression were banished
from the vocabulary of Americans. 1t is still
rooted in many minds, that one man stands high
er than another in consequence of the particular
vocation by which he gains his livelihood, We
receive, perhaps, fifty letters a week, the writer's
Of which speak deprecatingly of the hum bleness
of their daily v%ocations; not meaning thereby that
they are thieves and r%ascals, but that thew labor
honestly with their hands in some useful employ
ment. We can tell these correspondents that there
is no such thing as an humble occupation, unless
it is dishonest; and that no man, in consea uence
OF his occupation, ranks higher or ranks lower
than another. All occupations have the tself-
same object, the supply Of human wants.
All are honorable. One man is endowed with the
faculties required for one employment, and anoth-
er man has a gift for another; but all honest men
labor for the same sacred end, which alone rem
ders any vocation honorable, namely, the good Of
human beings. Benjamin franklin, at the COM
%positor's case, was as honorable a person as when
he was ambassadors at the Court Of France. and he
was laboring for the same object, his c%ountry's
good. We do cot say that all men are equally
honorable, for they are not. If we had the honor
OF knowing Benjamin Franklin when he was bob
bling at the case, we should have treated him with
far more consideration and respect than other com
%positors, for the simple reason that he was a great.
err and better man than they. He was alec a cap
ital printer. When be was transferred to other
spheres of labor, he remained the same Ben.
Franklin he was before; a great wise and useful
citizen and as such deserving of all honor; but not
one whit the more honorable because be had
changed his vocation. No profession confers hon.
or. No honest work degraoes. 1t is excellence
IN ones vocation and not the vocation itself that

A JAPANESE BELLE.

A recent East India traveller thus sketches
her
Il saw a young girl standing, fan in hand, at
an open window, reading. She was simply clad
in a loose Grape half'dressing gown sort of dress,
reaching DOWN as far as the ANGLES, and bound BY
u sash Of yellow silk around the waist, Her feet,
which were small and beautifully formed, rested
on the common straw sandals Of the country. Over
this dress, which left the bosom partly uncovered,
she wore a light cream colored open Jacket, Of
muslin texture, with wide sleeves extending a
liule below the elbow; her soft black hair was
beautifully drawn back of the forehead. and
bound in a peculiar cluster at the back of the
head. where il was held by two gold pins, one Of

There's gold for the man that will dig it,

May prison rich blessings within il.
There's a home for the son of guant sorrow,
A rest for the WORKOUT and weary;

A light Ger each path that is dreary,
There's no waste so dark, but the summit
Will break into snowy-liko Wilderness;
There's no cloud so black in the heavens,

DEATH IN THE STREETS OF CHGNA.-Upon several
occasions, | saw life e5bing from some wretched
sufferer as he lay at his post Of mendicancy, One
old woman in particular. attracted my attention.
She used to lie motionless on a mat 10 the centre
of the road, a diseased skeleton. She had lust
strength enough to clutch at cash that was flung
to her. One day this strength seemed to have
failed; | looked closer and saw she was dead. A
few hours after, l re-passed, but her place knew
her no more; she had been carried away and cast
upon a dungheap. I was riding upon the out
skirts Of the city one day, and saw a man carrying
another on his back. At fret, / thought the bur.
den was q corpse; but, as l approached nearer, a
certain aexibility o: the legs, as they .railed in
the dust behind, undeceiyed me. This was one OF
the city scaVengers, who prowl the streets for dy-
ing beggars, and when they find one in whom life
is almost extinct, they bear him off to some sub.
urban Aceldama, and fling him from their shout
ders, a premature feast for crows and vultures.-

KILLING WITH KINDNESS.

There is one serious danger to be apYrehended
10 the Japanese from their visit to this country,
and one against which we have Jet heard no word
of warning. These people have come here as our
guests, and have been received with the hospital
iy that the Importance Of their mission and their
personal station merit. But there is a possibility
Of carrying this hospitality to excess in the matter
of strong drink. Correspondents al Washington

chief Ambassadors ate s~pariugly, they drank free.

factared liquors to their national beverage, and are
too easily led to exemplify the force of the Scriptu-
raj adage, that evil communications corrupt GOOD
manners. They are simple and confding, and the
danger is that the members of the Embassy will,
acquire a iondness for strong drink here which
will result to their personal disadvantage and may

THE WTHO
ny FRANCIS DE HAZEL JANvlER.

III IhANNlS DE HAZEL JANNIEk.
ln a grand old garden, oncs, there grew
Numerous flowers of every hue;
And quaint old gardener, with silver hair,
Tirelessly toiled, through the proud p%u-terro,
And fostered the flowers which Aourished there |
And In that garden. but yet, apart
Fromthe stately circles Of formal art,
Withdrawn from the floral brotherhood,
On the verge Of a sylvan solitude,
An unpretending Hawthorn stood |
And little Of beauty the 1favth horn blest,
With his threat'ning spines, ond russell vest
Yet, at times, be adorned that droary place,
Wearing bis blooms with a woodland grace;
So the kindly old gardener gave him space;
But, the Haw thorn was without O mate,
Aud grieved in his solitary fate
lie had, in his breast, q vacant throne,
And wanted some gentle sway to own,
10 love, and be loved-but, he stood alone
Alone-'M it CHANGED he one day espied
A fair young aoweret BY his side
A sweet Musk Rose, who seemed 20 raise,
To the rugged Hawthorn, a %tiustful gaze,
As she timidly sunk from the suns bright blaze
Time passed and the seasons rolled away,
And the Rose grew flirer every day
With graceful branches, and delicate stem,
And a leafy, emerald diadem,
Where every d~ewdrop cleaned a gem |
And the Hawthorn sheltered her tender form
From the burning heat, and the chilling storm;
A shade by Gay, and O shield by night
And the rose reposed in the Hawthorne might,
And be loved the Rose, and ais heart was light /!
But the gardener came, in an evil hour,
And placed by the Rose another flower
An Indian Jasmine, tall and fair,
Which tossed its bells in the odorous air,
And the Rose withdrew from the Hawthorne care
Then, about his figure, the Hawthorn spread
a fragrant mantle, of green and red
And he tried each art which might restore
The love that had gladdened his life before,
But the Rose regarded him-no more
And the Hawthorn grew lonelier, day by day,
And sadly, and slowly, he pinned away:
And when the old gardener next passed the bed
lie paused, and he bowed his trembling head,
And wondered to see tho Hawthorn dead
Then, the heavens grew Oakland q tempest
came,
With drifting floods, and wind, and flame
And, to and fro, as the Rose was swayed,
In the pitiiess blast, with heart dismayed,
She turned to the Jasmine's arm for aid
But The fragile Jasmine had no power
To save the Rose, in that fearful hour
And then she remembered the Hawthorn's care,
And she cried to him with a wild despair;
But the Hawthorn was gone, and tho storm wa,
there!
And when the gardener came again,
lie looked for the beautiful Rose in vain;
And the old man wept, when, at length, he fount
Her delicate branches scattered around.
Mangled and torn, on the desolate ground !

overborne by those two greedy monsters, money
and war. Let him be grateful for this, that almost
every great soul that has led forward or lifted up
the race has been furnished for each noble deed,
and inspired with each patriotic and holy inspi
ration, BY the retiring fortitude of some Spartan,
or more than Spartan-some Christian mother.
Moses, the deliverer Of his people, drawn out oil

better instincts always outwit the tyranical diplo

public theatres, it is the nerve and sensibility OF

JAPANESE CLoTHING.-The rich are clothed 10
silks, and the poor in coarse cotton stufs. / do
not remember to have seen q wooden garment OF
any description, during the winter we remained
in Jeddo Bay and its neighborhood. The upper
garment is generally black the under dress OF
mixed colors. Every person Of rank has his fami-
~ arms. In winter they keep themselves warm
by wearing one dress over another, to suit the
weather. Instead of shoes they wear clogs, a pat.
ten OF wood and straw soles or sandals, which
are kept fast to the foot by a loop over the foot,
and between the great toe and its next ~neighbor.
When stockings or socks are worn, they are made
like a mitten, with a thumb or separate casting for
the great toe,i in order to accommodate this sandal.
A sheet of fine and tough paper is used for d pock-
ct handkerchief by tho ladies of the higher clas-
SEES, and a plain and coarse sheet Of paper is more
commonly used by all. This paper has almost
the ~toughness and texture of cloth and this use is
therefore not so strange as it may seem. The out.
err storm garment in common use is made of
strong, tough and flexible paper, nicely oiled on
the inside and lacquered on the outside.
