Habits Of the Japancse.

A Japanese named lchinOshin seven
years ago had quarrel in Yeddo with
fellow. .cOuntryman, who killed him
and IN fled. He lad two sons, who at
the time of his death were respectively
seventeen and fourteen years Of age. Ac-
cording to the ancient customs If Japan
the widow and two sons applied to their
daimiU for permission to search for the
murderer If The father, and to revenge
his death If successful in their search.
The permission was granted, and the
youths started on their mission. For six
years they Travelled over the country with
out fading any trace Of the murderer but
atlength they learned hat he had become a
priesf, aud was officiating In a certain tenl-
pie in HeddO. Thither they repaired only
TO learn that he ha gone to KiOto. For d
year longer they followed the trail they
hal struck. frequently hearing of the OBJ
ject OF their search under various assumed
names-so netimcs as a priest and some
times as a beggar. AT last, by mere
chance, the young men, after seven years
iruitless wmderings, q few weeks ago
came to town named Blngo Fakuyoma,
where in the ranks of some soldiers who
were drilling in field they recognized
their long-sOught enemy. Immediately
the Oldest brother went up 10 the con-
mandng officer, and after telling the
story pointed out the man and requested
permission to kill him. The ofi:er in
formed the young mIn that he was very
sorry that he could not oblige him, but
only few days btf)re the Government
had issued a notification fOrbidding any
one from performing kataki-achi-that is,
taking upon himself the right. to avenge
hiOod,hed. 1t WAS a sad blow to the
young MN, we are told, especially as the
murderer deserted and made good his es-
cape while the matter was under discus
sion but he was consoled by the promise
that the Government would t Ike cog
niZance of the offence and mete out justice
to the offender. PlacardS have been post
cd on the notice boards all over Japan Of
ferlng reward for the fugitive criminal,
and the authorities have taken other mean,
for securing his capture. This is no rO-
IN lncc, but II recent occurrence. The FIR
East says that notices offring a reward
fDr the apprehension of the murderer SCI
forth the whole story of the protracted
pursuit made by the youthful avengers,
Nnd that they are read with great interest
by hundreds every dav.

If we would only stop to take it;
Al many a tame 6c0m the better laD4----
If the querulous heart would make IL.
To the sunny soul that is full Of hope,
And whose beautiful trust no'er faileth,
The grass is green and the flowers are bright
Though the winter storm prevalent.
Better 10 hope though the clouds hang low,
And to Keep the eyes still lifted;
For the sweet blue sky Will soon peep thro'
When the ominous clouds are rifted!
There was never a night without day,
Or an evening without 4 morning;
And the darkest hour, a the proycrb goes
Is the hour before the dawniuS.
There Is many q gem in the path Of life,
Which we pass in our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the ieweled crown,
Or the miser's boarded treasure;
1t may be the love of q little child,
or a mothers's prayer TO heaven,
Or only a beggar's grateful thanks
For a cup Of water given.
Better to weave in the web Of ife
A bright and golden filling,
And to do Gods will with a ready heart,
And hands that are ready and willing,
Than 10 snap the delicate, minute threads
or our curious lives asunder,
And then blame heaven for the tangled ends,

4 story for Boys.

a very kind old lady, many wears
ago, taught little private school Of
Young children in a town in New
England. She cared very tenderly
for her little lambs, trying to bring
them to the fold of the good Shep-
herd. She always had a pleasant
word and a kindly smile for them,
and often had a flower, an apple or
a kiss to give for such as behaved
properly, and the simple rewards
from her loving hands were priced.
This lady's little pupils never had
to be sent TO school. They ran of
cheerfully before nine O'Clock, that
they might be ready to hear the first
tinkle of her school bell. One day
her heart was deeply wounded by
hearing that a fine little boy, about
nine years old, had said some naugh-
ty words at play. She called Char
lie to her; and, taking both his hands
in hers, and looking sorrowfully in
to his bright blue eyes, she asked,
''Have You used naughty words to-
day, my child?'
Il didn't swear" whispered Char
lie.
Are you willing to go home now
and repeat your words to your dear
mother?"
"No, ma'am, faltered the little cul-
prit, as he hung his head and blush
ed deeply.
"And, my dear boy, have you for
gotten" said his kind old friend,
"that One was listening to you ho-
lier than any mother, even yours,
and loving you far more than even
the best mother can love her little
son? lie heard in heaven your
naughty words. 1 am afraid, nay
child, that when the lips are naugh-
! ty, the heart must be very uncleAn
/ too. l cannot make your heart clean,
/ Charlie, but / will ask the Lord Je-
/ sus to do IL for you. One thing,
| however, | can do can cleanse
your lips. They would not be fit for
/ your mothers goodnight kiss If
/ did rot clean them for YOU" The
old lady then called for bowl oil
clean water, and took from her desk
a bit of fine soap and little sponge.
sThen bidding Charlie open his
mouth, she washed il well, teeth
tongue, lips and all. She then wiped
/ them dry with a soft, fresh napkin
and bathed his tear-stained face and
kissed him. This simple punish,
ment and her real sorrow, apparent
TO the child while she inflicted it
made a deep impression, not merely
on Charlie, but on the whole school
who witnessed the transaction.
Charlie is now man, but HeTei

A Telling Has.

The recent death OF Mr.. John c.
Tucker, says the Bosto journal"
calls to mind a speech which he
made in the House OF Representa-
tives some years agO-a speech that
was1ull of tingling wit, and deliver
ed in the hapPiest manner. General
Banks had been elected Governor
by a combination between the Free
Soilers and the Know Nothings,
and il was naturally supposed that
in his inaugural address there would
be some reference to the issues of
the campaign. But the adroit Gov
crnor omitted all mention of the
Anti-Slayery question as well as Of
the Native American policy. y
member arose aud moved to print
10000 copies OF the address, when
instantly Mr.. Tucker got the floor
ana spoke as follows:
Il rise, Misther Speaker, to sec
Ond the motion of the honorable gin
| tleman 20 print tin thousand copies
/ offhis ExCellenCy's speech. You
may wonder, Misther Speaker, why
|, who am naytheF a paersonal nor a
poleetical friend of His Excillency.
should do this. 1t is well known
that His EXcillency has risen TO pow
er by a coalition between the Anti
/ Slavery and the Native American
parties, or, as they are sometimes
called, Free Soilers aud KnoFr Moth
I lngs. And this puts me Ia mind ol
a little story.
"There was Bishop in Dublin
/ who engaged a painter to make a
large picture for the Cathavdral.-
! The subject chosen was the cross
ing of the Red Say by the Israelites.
After a suitable time the picture
was complayted and hung in the
Cathaydral, covered with a broad
and heavy curtain. a great crowd
of people assembled TO see the pic
ture unveiled. The priests entered
/ in procession, the organ sounded
and the singers sung. All faces
were turned in anxious expectation
to the great curtain. When it was
drawn aside nothing could be seen
but a vast expanse of wather-red-
dish green wather. The bishop in
great rage turned to the panther
and said: 81 thought / asked you to
paint a picture of the Israelites
crossing the Red Say?"
'Thrue for you, that's jist it," said
the panther.
."But where are the Israelites?''
asked the indignant bishop.
They're gone OUer," said the
panther.
"Wcll, but where are the pursu-
ing Egyptians?"
"They're gone uRder," said the
panther.
"With similar disappointment the
friends of His Excillency stand now.
If they ask What has become of the
nayger" the answer is He's gone
OVeT, Misther Spa-ker.' If they ask
then, what has become of the Know
Nothings?'-' why they've gone ua.
der, Misther Spa-ker.'"
The roars of laughter from al
sides of the house made the rest oi
! the speech inaudlble.

An Incident.

a Young man went into the Office
of one of the largest dry goods im-
porting houses in New York and
asked for a situation. He was told
to come again.
Going down Broadway the same
afternoon, opposite the AstOr House
an old apple woman trying TO cross
the street was struck by q stage,
knocked down, and her basket of
apples sent scattering in the gutter.
This young man stepped out from
the passing crowd, helped up the
old lady, put her apples into her
basket, and went on his way, forget
ting the incident.
When he called again upon the
importers he was asked to name his
nrfce, which was accepted immedi-
ately, and he went to work at once.
Nearly a year afterward he was
called aside one day and asked IL he
remembered assisting an old apple
woman in broadway 10 pick up a
basket of apples, and much to his
surprise, he learned why he obtain
ell a situation when more than one
hundred Others were destriug the

and Turks are our antipOdes. They

we the reverse. With us the uncoY-

another is a mark of respect; with
them a mark of disrespect. When

keep on the hat and take eff the

of a horse, we on the left. They
write from right to left, and we

good breeding by taking the out

sons; they by passing nearest the
