CnnfrCius in Japan.

One oG the most cXtfa0rd mary re-
forms in religion is that just inaugu-
rated by the japanese government
which has closed the Buddhist tenn
pies and ordered the priests to join the
army, or become farm labOrcrs. AS
Buddhism is Che prevailing creed
in Japan, the unexpected suppression
Of its public cCgenonials needs ex-
planation. The oldest known form of
religion in that empire, Sintoism, is
somewhat akin to modern spiritual
ism, presupposing an infinite number
Of spirits, who exercise influence over
the alIairs of this world, and are t
bo propitiated by prayers and the OBJ
scryanco Of certain rules Of conduct.
Among these deitios arc the sun and
the elements, and the lower orders
are CGuonizcd hCroca. Tho Baddhiata,
who do not like the facility Of other
prosolytcr4 in adapting themselves
10 circumstances, absorbed ra.hc@
than converted the Sintoists, SD that
it has not been easy to draw tho lines
between the different faiths pTeya-
lent. But from China, whence prob
ably this npirit-worship was import
cd, came also it5 purer and more
practical form, embodied in the doc
Irinca Of Conluciua. There IA ~
much difference between the phi-
losophy,of litc and TIE not due VeN-
eraticn of the Invisible world taught
By the mastery aud the supertitiou3
mysticism of the religiOua forms OF
| the lover Chinese classes, as between
the practice of Jesus ard the fanati-
cism Of medieval Christianity, AS
among the celastials, so in " tho sun
rise Kingdom" CHATS what tho word
Japan meansl the faith of Contnciua
became the philosophy Of the higher
orders. The nobility and the learned
classes abandoned idol worship and
conformed thOir lives to teachings of
the master The curious barbarisjn OF
the east, which unnecessarily requires
in ell public Officials liberal educa-
ton Commensurate with the duties
of their positions, has no doubt made
il an easy matter to enforce outward
conformity to the religion OF the
ruling classes; and the reform has
perhaps been helped forward by the
original klnship between Sintoism
| and Confucianism, which latter is Il
refined s,iritualism quickened by o
purer ethical system. COufucianism
bears somewhat the relation to Sin
toism that Christianity does to Juda-
ism. or Buddhism to Brahminism. IL
it is in spirit protest against that
unfortunate but natural degeneracy
Of religion which substitutes the OBJ
seryance of an overgrown ritual for
religious life. 1t is essentially a
militant faith, but scizes readily upon
the sympathics of the reflective, and
maintains its supremacy in the midst
of the conflict of more creods from
which no civilization is exempt. How
it will effect the interior life of Japan
remains to be seen; but the readiness
with which that docle and imita-
bic people assimilate the science and
art Of the arrogant and pretentious
west promises . progress that will
soon drop out of sight all cruder
forms of Asiatic religion.

committee; it's all printed in book,
and you can study upon 1t at your
leisure.
How big a book will l have tostudy?
asked the cunning Colonel.
Oh, not u very large one, and you
can work into the routine gradually,
A colonel has to ride on horseback,
doesn't he? asked the wido-awake Yam
kee.
Yes, sometimes--once in while !;
but that isn't anything, you know.
1t isn't, Ell? You can't play that on
me. l know all about riding on horse
back. never rode on horseback an
hour in my life without having to take
my meals from a mantelpiecc for three

And so he went on, coniessing his
unfamilarity with everything appor-
taining to a Colonolcy, with such
franlness and humor rs made the OH
GERS and men all the more determined
to have him for their commander; and
they got him. Having been elected to
the command Of the Ninth regiment,
he at once set about learning his duties,
and made such rapid progress that he
soon became Il proficient. The writer
hereof was at Long Branch while the
Ninth vas recently encamped there,
aud had opportunities to see Col. FISK
in camp, ut drill and on parade, and
can bear testimony TO his efficiency and
popularity as a regimcntal commander
THE PLAIN AND SIMPLE TRUTH
Of the matter is, James Fisk, Jr., was
II man of prodigious talent. Ills per
coptiyc, constructive and executive
powers were all Of high order. If he
had ever gone back, in spirit and SIN
ccrity of soul, to his mothcr5 knee
and his mothers prayers, and allowed
the germs Of religious truth which, In
that old New England home, were ear
| " implanted in his heart to spring VI
and bear their Legitimate fruit, ano
dominate the tone and color and char
actor Of his life, there is no saying t.
what height Of popularity and useful
moss he might have risen. We have
had opportunities. Of seeing closely
many great men, and have penotratct
the rccesses of their characters, ant
have studied them well and having
this in mind, we DO not hesitate to 9a,
that we have never known any humal
being, with the single exception o
Henry Clay, who could compete in ele
ments of popularity with James Elsl,
Jr., if, in addition to his other quail
ties, ho had also been downright
sincere, puro-hc0rtcl Christian man.
| Col. Fisk would haze been q favor
ite in the church, and irresistible as
temperance reformer. lie would hay
made robust Christian and a moiIo'
one. An exhortation to godhncss am
virtue would have como from his lip
with unusual junction. His cXccutiy
ability would have como into gran
and bcnificont play in running rev
val. He would have been apt to wi
as much distinction in the army OF tt
Lord as he has won in tho militia
the Empire State.
