Master and Man In japan.

%. No feature in japanese society is
more curious than the relations be-
tween master and man., The master
admits his servant provided, of course,
that he be OF the military class to his
intimate society; but the servant
never assumes q liberty. He takes his
place at dinner with the utmost hui
mility, and having done so, bears his
share of the conversation, addressing
freely not only his master, but even
guests of the highest rank. The master
will pass his own wine-cup to his man,
as if he were an honored guest, and for
q while they would appear to any one
not acquainted with q language most
fertile In subtle distincfinct.ons to be
on perfectly equal terms. Yet, the
moment the feast Is over, the man re-
tires with the same profound obeisance
and marks of difference with which he
entered, and Immediately relapses into
the servitor; nor will he in any way pre-
sumo upon the familiarity, which,
having lasted its hour, disappears until
occasion calls it forth again. Feudsl-
:sm strips service of servility, and
although the feudal system is q thing
ofthe pest, its traces must long remain.

Politeness and Truth.

Expressions of ''love, friendship,
esteem, and admiration" are unavOid-
able i'm social intercourse, but they are
not necessarily Lying wOrds.n "Let
love be without .dissimulation," said
one of the highest authorities that has
ever spoken upon the amenities Of
social life. "Be kindly affectioned
one to another with brotherly love in
honor preferring one another" "All
things whatsoever we would that men
should do to you, do We even so to
them" "Thou shalt love thy neigh
Dor as thyself." There is high, sweet,
Christian, ay! human kindness, which
finds its natural expression in every
gentle courtesy; a large hearted charity
which makes the comfort and welfare
of no human being matter Of indif.
ference. This is the substance, OF
which the forms of etiquette are mere.
ly the shadow; the substance, so long
buried in the form that it is well nigh
forgotten. 1t requires a certain ele-
walton of character, no doubt, but let
us thank God it is possible to be polite
and at the same time sincere.

Sick Headache.

tressing complaint need no description
of it. Its attacks are often so sudden
and severe rs to make one helpless for
awhile. III possible, put the feet In a
warm bath Coming well up the limbs
to which two tablespoontuls of wood
ashes have been added. But this can
not always be done, rs the person may
be away from home st the time OF the
attack, or have 10 one to wait upon
him or her, and be too sick to wait on
themselves. But a remedy may be
kept oD hand, that has always eased
me when l have tried it; it may be
carried in the pocket, SO that if attack

About Marriage.

p Men and women, and especially
young people, do not know that it
takes years to marry completely two
hearts, even of the most loving, and
well-sOrted. But nature allows no
sudden change. We slope very gradu-
ally from the cradle to the summit of
life. Marriage is gradual, a fraction
of us at time. A happy wedding is
a long falling i'm love. / know young
persons think love only belongs to
brown hair, and plump, round crim-
son checks. So It does for its begin.
ming, just az Mount Washington be-
gins at Boston Bay. But the golden
marriage is part of love which the
bridal day knows nothing of. Youth
is the tassel and silken flower of life
age is the full corn. ripe and solid in
the ear. Beautiful is the morning of
love with its prophetic crimson, violet,
purple and gold, with its hopes Ofdays
that are to come. Beautiful also is the
evening of love, with its glad remem
berances, and its rainbow side turned
toward heaven as well as earth. Young
people marry their opposites in temper
and general character, and such a
marriage is commonly a good match.
They do it instinctively. The young
man does not say, "My nlack eyes re-
quire to be wed with b 'ue, and my
Over-vehemence requires o be a little
modified with somewhat f dullness
and reserve" When thea oppOsi-
tions come together to be v ed, they
do not know it, but each thinks the
other just like himself. l'
Old people never marry opposites;
they marry their similars and from
calculation. Each of these two ar
rangements is very proper. In their
long journey these young Opposites
will fall out by the way a great many
times, and both get away from the
road; but each will charm the other
back again, and by-and-by they will
be agreed as to the place they will go
to and the road they will go by, and
become reconciled. The man will be
nobler and larger for being associated
with so much humanity unlike HIM
self, and she will be a nobler woman
for having manhood beside her that
seeks to correct her deficiencies and
supply her with what she lacks if the
diversity be not too great, and there
be real piety and love In their hearts
to begin with. The old bridegroom,
having a much shorter journey to
make, must associate himself with one
like himself. A perfect and complete
marriage is, perhaps, as rare as perfect
personal beauty. Men and women
are married fractionally, now a small
fraction, then large fraction. Very
few are married totally, and they
only, think, after some forty or fifty
years of gradual approach and expert
ment. Such large and sweet is
complete marriage, and it needs a
very long summer to ripen in, and
then long winter to mellow and sea-
son in. But q real happy marriage of
love and judgement, between a noble
man and woman, is one of the things
so very handsome, and If the sun
were, as the Greek poets tabled, a god,
he might stop the world in order to
feast his eyes with such spectacle.

This name for depot OF spiriis Of evil!

Or, like.thc thing named, did it come from the

For cen 10 his friends he il slyly malignant.
But what is its meaningf Why call II a BARI
Because pr1nid gdcie, 1t bars from the liquor.
But hats not its full, honest meaning by Tar;
Just Jingle the money, the rum fol iows quicker!
IN tell what il means: It's a har to all good,
And a constant promoter OF everything evil;
Tis bar to all virtue-thet is well understood =
A bar 20 tine right and fort for the Devil.
'1'is bar too all industry, prudence and wealth;
bar to reflection, bar TO sobriety;
A bar TO clca thought and bar 20 sound health;
A bar to good Onsc-ence, to prayer, and TO plety
To clothing and giving them good educaton:
A bar 10 the observance OF every good iule,
bar 10 the welfare Of family aud nation!
A bar to The hallowed enjoyments OF home;
A bar to the hottest earthly fruition;
A bar that forbids its frequenters to come
To the goal and rewards Of q virtuous ambition.
A bar to integrity, honor, and fame,
To friendship and peace and nnubial love;
To the purest delights that on earth we may Claim

death.
The king provided Coelio, as he
promished, with substantial meal
and q good bed, and the next morning
he awoke much refreshed, to find Ruy
Gomez by his couch, holding in his
hand handsome suit of clothes for his
service. Vainly did he question the
shrewd Ruy as to the condition of his
unknown benefactor. Ruy informed
him that the gentleman was named
| Don Paez that he was in the service
of his Catholic Majesty, and that pre-
sently, when he had finished his colla-
| ton, the Senior Don PaeZ would come
to him, and talk of his prospects for
the future.
Accordingly, when Sanchez Coelio
had dispatched an excellent breakfast,
the king, still wearing his disguise,
entered. ....... -
The first impulse of the grateful
Young man was TO raise the hand Of
the supposed venerable Don Paez to
his lips and thank him for his kindness,
above all for having prevented his
committing 30 fatal crime as suicide.
Don Paez listened to him with kind
ness. .... ...

The message Of President Theirs TO tue
French Assembly, a synopsis Of which we
printed yesterday morning, will do much to
strengthen the republic In France, and to re-
lleve the auxletles of the European powers
who look upon that country as a sort Of moral
Vesuvlus, liable at any moment to send terror
and desolAtl0n through the world. Whatever
else may be said Of Mr.. Theirs admlnlstra-
ton, It cannot be denied that under his rule
France has made the most marvellous strides
In a material way. That the republic Is only
q republic In name Is patent to the world.
VI. Theirs Is virtually emperor. HO Is as
much master OF France as ever Louis NapO-
leon was, and his will Is virtually the su-
preme law. France Is to-day living under a
dospotism, only that she does not choose to
call 1t despotism.
The message Is a strong appeal to the con-
sentative element of France, which Is to day
the strongest and the most influential element.
When he tells France that what she needs Is
repose, he calls to his side every man who
has franc to lose, and states q seli-eyident
proposition that no one with an ounce OF
brains or particle OF patriotism will dispute
His Allusion to the cruel Acknowledgement OF
the country" Is adrOlt, and rallies to his sup
port the large class who believe that In
the good time coming France will have
her own again. To the Assembly NJ.
Theirs leaves what he calls the "initlatlon
Of constitutional measures" the decisive
moment for which has arrived" To what
ever theymay decree he promises "deteren ce,
cooperation and devotion" This Is the sc
yorest blow that NJ. Theirs could have given
his oppone nts. They who see In him mere
intriguer for the restoration OF the monarchy
In some shape or other, who Is only waiting
his time to present to France her future en-
peror, will be silenced. 1t is true that he
deprecates the formal proclamation Of the
republic, but he has good excuse for that
seemingly unrepublIcau polIcy-that France
is not ready for republicanism as the United
States understood II. The message 10 alto
