WHAT is LIFEf

TuE mere elupse of years is not life.
To eat, and drink, and sleep--to DO ex-
posed to darkness and the light-=to pace
round in the mill Of habit, and turn
thought into ali implement Of trade--this
is not life. In all this but q poor fraction
of the consciousness Of humanity is awak,
eHed, aud the, sanctities still slumber
which make il worth while to be. Know.
ledge, truth, love, beauty, goodness, faith
alone eau give vitality to the mechanism
Of existence Tho laugh Of mirth thai
vibrates through the heart--rthe tear
that freshen the dry wastes within--thC
music that brings childhood back--tbt
prayer that calls the future near-th,
doubt which makes us meditate---the deatl
which startles us with mystery--the hard
ship which forces US TO struggle-th,
anxiety that ends in trust--are the tru
nourishment Of our natural being,

a HUGE PILE OF sERPESTs.

BARoS HUMBoLDr says:--siIn the sa-
yannahs Of 1zacubo, Guiana, saw the
most wonderful and terrible spectacle that
can be seen; and although II be not nm
common to the natives, no traveller has
ever mentionedit We were ten men on:
horseback two of whom took the Iead.
in order to sound the passages, while i
preferred to skirt the great forests One
Of the men who formed the vanguard re-
turned AZ inll gallop and called to me.
Here, Sir, come and see serpents in a pile ,
lie pointed 70 something elevated in the
middle Of the savannah or swamp, which
appeared like . bundle Or arms. One OF
my company said, This 10 certainly one or

THE JAPANESE AND RELIoioN.-We
arc authorized to state, that sundry per
sons interested in tho spiritual welfare Of
the Japanese Embassy, having rendered
to them copies of tho Bible and other
books Of n religious character, and also
an invitation to attend public worship at
the Capitol, it became the duty Of the
United States Commissioner in charge OF
the Embassy, to ascertain their views on
this subject. 3.t 'A e- u
The offer of these books, and the in
vitation to attend public worship, was
communicated to The Embassy. In re-
ply, they stated that but one religion is
known and acknowledged by tho laws Of
Japan, that they are forbidden in any
manner to take part in or be present at
the celebration of any other, and, while
expressing their acknowledgements for the
interest and kind intentions Of their
American friends, they respectfully decline
entering into any conversation or receiv-
ing any books of a religious character, or
being present at any of the religious So
lemnities to which they have been or may
be invited
After this expression of their views,
they were assured that, while it was the
duty of the officer in charge TO commu-
nicate TO them these offers and invitations,
it was not the desire of the government
in any way to force their inclinations, and
that their wishes would be respected
At which they expressed their gratifca-
ton.
1t will thus be seen that all religious
communications have been formally de-
clined. Washington Con.

THE HUMAN FIouRE.-Thep proportions
Of the human figure arc strictly mathc-
matical. The whole figure is six times
tho length Of the foot. Whether the
form be slender or plump, this rule holds
good. Any deviation from it, is de-
parture from the highest beauty Of pro-
portion. The Greeks make all ihcr stat
utes according to the rule. The face from
the highest point Of the forehead where
the hair ends, to the end of the chin, is
one-tenth of the whole stature; the hand,
from tho wrist to tho end of the middle
finger, is the same; the chest is fourth,
and from the nipples to the top of the
head is the same; from the top of the
chest to the highest point of the fore
head is seventh; if tho length of the
face, from the roots Of the hair to the
chin, be divided into three equal parts, the
first division determines where tho eye
brows meet the second the place of the
nostrils; the navel is tho central point Of
the human body, and if man should
lie on his back with his arms extended,
the periphery of the circle which might
be described around him, with the navel
for its center, would touch the extremi-
ties of his hands and feet. The height
from the feet 10 the top of the head is
the samo rs the distance from one ex-
tremity to the other when tho arms are
extended. These arc tho general meas
urcs Of the species.

tober, in tho Indian Ocean, near tho Island o
lie fell from the yard of the brig
IIc sleeps alone in the ocean bed,
No willow above him waving;
The wild wind means Ger his lowly head,
Tho surges his cold brow laving.
The sca-weed and coral his winding sheet,
And the ocean pearl his pillow
But the loved and lost will never moro greet
The wall of tho foaming billow.
No gentle footsteps may ever roam
Where brother and son is sleeping,
Though far away in his childhood home
A broken band is weeping.
No quiycring lips will press his clay,
His youthful check caressing,
No hand on his manly forehead lay,
With parents holy blessing.
The vines he planted, the flowers he loved,
By the side of his native dwelling,
And the very paths where his proud feet roved
The fate Of the lost one telling!
And oh! there's wall in the whispering breeze
And look in the blue Of heaven,
A solemn voice 'mong the threshold trees,
That tell of the bright chain riven
Yes, far away DER the Clone blue sea-"
The noble and brave is sleeping,
But, above the dark wave wild and free,
Angels their watch are keeping.
