JAPANESE INDUSTRY.

The japanese are on industrious and
ingenious people. Nearly all the useful
metals are worked by them with great
skill, especially iron, copper, gold and sill.
yer; and they possess an art in the com-
bination of metals for beauty and effect,
unknown to other people. Their sword
blades are admirable. They also manu-
facture astronomical instruments, and
clocks and watches, which are copied
after European models, probably intro
duced by the Dutch. Their mirrors are
metallic, aud very beautiful. Their car
penter's and cabinct-makers' tools are also
equal to any Of European manufacture.
They are said to be very quick in observ-
ing any Improvement, introduced by
foreigners, make themselves masters of
it, and copy it with skill and cxactness.
Their coinage is well stamped, as they
arn gond die sinkers. In wood no peo-
pie work better, and in lacqucring they
excel the world. Other nations have at
tempted, in vain, to initiate and equal
them, owing chiefly to the material nc
cessary in preparing the wood, which is
the gum Of tree known only to them
selves, called the varnish-tree. Occasion
ally specimens Of THEN lacquer work,
through the Dutch residents of Dezima.
have found their way to this country; but
it is said the best samples are sever sent
out of the kingdom. They MANUFACTURES
glass, both colorcd and uncolorcts and
their porcelain is both delicate and beau-
tiful beyond all rivalry. Paper they plo.
duce in abundance, and principally from
the bark of the mulberry tree. 1t is of
different qualities, and some Of it is az
soft aud flexible as our cotton cloth, for
which it might be mistaken, and is used
for handkerchiefs and other domestic
wants. They make silk, the best of which
is superior to that Of China, and is said
to be woven by the criminals of high
rank, who are confined upon small, un-
productive island, deprived of their prop
crty, and made to support themselves by
their labor. The expectation of these
silks il is said, is prohibited. AS sub
stitute for cotton cloths, as before re-
marked, in the manufacture Of which they
have little skill, they use their coarse,
spongy paper, which is quite as useful and
durable. As they have no sheep or goats,
the manufacture of woolens is unknown
among them. Very little leather is
produced in Japan, owing to the Budd'
hist superstition which makes those manu-
featuring or vending it ontcasts from tho
rest of the population. 1t is never used
for shoes or other coverings for the feet,
such being made from plated stray, for
the lower classes; the nobility and digni-
taiies wear slippers made of fine rattan
slips, neatly plated. The ragged ap-
pearancc of their feet frequently affords
ridiculous contrast to the splendor and
richness of the other portions of their
picturesque costune.-N y Express.

PRAYER.

Breathed from single human heart,
Prayer rises on celestial wings,
Ere from the lips the accents part,
In Heaven the thought immortal springs.
The feeblcst murmur faint and lone,
HallOwcd in payers divine employ
Triumphant swels on high, a tone
In concert with eternal joy.
In prayer, what grief and vanquishcd sin,
Like foes retiring, backwards roll!
While guests angelic, enter ngi in,
Unlock the prison Of the soul
But scourged for sin, and bowed with shame,
When whole humbled people prays,
Oh, to what songs of glad acclaim
The ehoirs of heaven their raptures raise!
Then earth draws near the meeting skies
Wide 1y the gates of pearl and gold
And moTtals with immortal eyes
The City Of our God behold
Mercy and Grace thence issue forth,
And Peace renews the smiling land
In him, the Lord of all the earth,
Who holds the nations in His hand.
