A Marvellous Change.

The extraordinary change that has
taken place in Japan in ten years is
hard to believe. 1t is but ten years
since the country was open to for
eign commerce. and already in YOkO-
homa and YeddO there are many
hundreds of native shops, selling for
eign goods, besides those kept by for
eigners. In addition to this, it is
stated as Il remarkable fact, that q
large part of the male portion of the
middle and upper classes dress entire
ly in our style. Even old men, too
old to sport the new costume, look
with delight upon their grandsOns
dressed in hats, boots, and what be-
longs between, and take pride in
showing off in the streets their
"young Japan" thus apparelled. The
army and navy are remOdelled on
European systems in organization,
arms and uniforms, down to the COM
mon trumpet, drum and fife. They
have stages, steamers and telegraphs;
and a contract has been made for q
railroad. There are two extensive
founderies, with foreign machinery,
in the country and several docks.
As to the matter of diet, beef, the
abominatiOn of Buddhism, begins
largely to be consumed, and bread is
much liked. In the heart OF the
capital sewing machines hum in the
tailors' shops. A foreign college in
Yeddo has hundreds of boys study
ing English, French and German.
Eight foreign physicians instruct IN
medical colleges. Newspapers are
published in several places, with
their columns of Foreign and
clipped and translated
from our standard papers. Book
stores, selling English and French
books, are seen in many places; and
the quantity of books imported is
immense.

What Did Paul sayq

Many years ago there lived in Vir-
ginia a Baptist preacher named B.
Though uneducated he was a sound
thinker and eloquent speaker, and no
minister had more devoted flock.
1t was the custom during the inclem-
ent season, to hold meetings at the
residences of the members, and once
or twice, during the winter, at the
house of the preacher. For years it.
was. observed that b. neither preach,
ed nor conducted the meeting when
held at his house, but secured the
services of neighbOring minister.
He was often pressed for an explana-
tiOn, without success; but finally, in
response to the opportunities of some
of his flock he gave the following:
"When | was younger than lam
now-in fact, not long after the COM
mencement of my ministratiOnLI
held meeting at my own hOnse. 1t,
being customary for many of the
congregation 10 remain to dinner,
Mrs. b. sent our negro boy Tim to
our neighbor Paurs for butter. Tim
returned and located himself stand
ing on one foot at time, in the out
skirts of the congregation. Being
well warmed up in my sermon, think
ing neither of Tim nor his errand,
but only of the most successful mode
of pressing home my strongest argu-
ments, l demanded with all the EN-
ergy in my power, "And what did
Paul say?" Tim at the top of his
little squeaking voice, exclaimed, as
Tim only could have done. "He said
you couldn't get any more butter un-
til YOU paid for what you gOt'
This brought down the house and
cut short one of the finest efforts of
my early ministry. Since then l
have kept my preaching disconnected
from my domestic affairs.

Blue Sky and White Clouds.

The ethereal blue color of the sky
is due to the minute particles'Of mat
ter which float in the air. Were
these particles removed, the appear
ance of the sky would be dead black
1t is fact in optics that exceedingly
fine portions of matter disperse or
scatter the blue rays of light, coarser
portions scatter red rays, still cOarser
portions scatter all the rays, making
white light. An Atmosphere is full
of aqueous vapor, the particles of
which diffuse white light in all direc-
tiOns. When these particles are en-
larged, they become visible in the
form of clouds. The vapor particles
of the white clouds are supposed TO
be finer and lighter than those of the
dark clouds.
That the diffusion of light in our
atmosphere, the blue colOring of the
sky and the colors of the clouds, are
due to the presence of matter floating
in the air, has been cOnclusively
proven by Tyndall. On passing 4
beam of sunlight through glass
tube, the beam is rendered brilliantly
visible by the reflection of light from
the dust particles floating in the air
contained in the tube. But on re-
moving the dust PARTICLES, which is
done by filtering the air by cotton
wool, or causing the air to pass over
flame, the beam of light is no
longer visible in the tube.-ScieRtifc

Bad Dreams.

Bad dreams are frequently caused
by tight neck band, which prevents
the blood when it reaches the brain
from flowing freely back again.
Compression of any part of the body
should be avoided at all times, but
especially during sleep. The lighter
the bed-clOthes are the more refresh
ing and sweet will be the repOse. For
this reason, comforts made of de-
laines, or other thin material, and
stuffed with wool, are far preferable
to those made of cotton, and warmer
even than blankets, since the fibers
Of wool are wider apart, and the same
weight goes farther in retaining the
warmth of the body.

Charles Summer.

Hon. James W. Nesmith, of the
House of Representatives from Ore
gon, formerly of the Senate, delivered
one of the finest eulogies upon
Charles Sumner. The following are
his closing remarks;
eMr. Speaker. memorable death has
claimed Charles Sumner as his own, and
the grave has closed over his mortal re-
mains. We shall never in our genera
ton look upon his like again, simply be-
cause there are no surroundings TO de-
velOp such a character. The freedom of
the African is assured, and it now re-
mains the highest duty of the statesman
to assure the freedom of the citizen.
"'Peace hath her victories no less re-
nowned than war; and the man who by
persistent direction of peaceful agencies
converts a nation of politicians to his
views is as much entitled to the tri-
umphal arch as is the mere soldier who,
by the eunreasOning power of brute force,
completes victory with the sword and
points to the hecatOmb of the slain as his
passport to power. The saddest thing
about Charles Summers life to me is that
he survived himself-that he lived to see
other men occupying the proud positions
and welding the power he had created,
with no higher motive prompting them
than the self-aggrandizement to be
found in wealth.
81 have only limited at his faults, few
as they were. | have no heart to dwell
upon his failings. He had the egOtism
of genius and the impatience of fanati-
cal conviction. lie may be said 10 have
lived alone, never knowing pleasant COM
panionship, and meeting the world only
to be flattered and admired, or to be
fought. His, however, were faults we
can readily forget, and failings we are
willing to forgive.
''TIe is gone from among us. His chair
in the Senate, to which all eyes were
turned when any great question agitated
that grave body, will never be filled by Il
public servant more pure in his motives,
more elevated and courageous in his ac-
ton, or truer to his convictions. Let us
keep his virtues in remembrance. May
his monument be of spOtless marble, for
it cannot be purer or whittier than his
life."

The COlOred Congressman.

FROM Tue baItlmOre Ameflcan.
Seven cOlOred representatives from
the South have seats in the present
Congress, and they certainly are no
discredit to their race or to the body
in which they sit. We have not no
ticed that any one of them has said a
word or performed an act that was
beneath the dignity of Representa-
tive in Congress. The opponents of
emancipation and enfranchisement
used to terrify us with the terrible
pictures of the degradation that
would overtake us when negroes sat
in the National councils. They were
false prophets. Neither the country
at large nor Congress has suffered in
the least by the presence of these
dark skinned gentlemen in the
Lower House. One of them Occu-
pied the Speakers chair a few days
since, and presided with as much dig
nifty and fairness as any other mem
Der could have done. 1t was a strik-
ing commentary on the course Oi
events that South Carolina freedman
should be chairman of the committee
of the whole in the House of Repre-
sentatives on one day, and that on
the succeeding day Mr.. L. Q. c. La
mar, of Mississippi, fierce tire-eateI
of the ante bellum period, should de
liver eulOgy of Charles Sumner.

WATER.
A Song for the Times.

Hurrab, for the cup of cold water,
The best of all tonicS for me;
Hurrah! for the beautiful water,
Sparkling child of the sea
Hurrahi for water, cold water!
Hurrahi for its magical worth;
The greatest of all our great blessings,
The glorious girdle of earthl
We gaze on the mightiest rivers,
On the cataract, ocean and stream;
Grand volumes of billowy waters
Around us forever are seen.
No end to their onward progression
Through meadow and valley and hill
Up and down the gay face of Nature
They ripple and flow as they will.
The well. the brook, and the fountain,
Or the drops that increasingly run
Down the bare arm of the mountain,
A glistening shield in the sun;
Or the lakelet jar in The shadows
The traveller meets on his way,
Where he kneels and drinks deepof thu
nectar
And is strong for the tolls of the day
Oh, wonderful, wonderful water!
We thank the good Lord for his love
A foretaste of the ''Rivers of Water
That flow round the white thron'
above!
1t never brings pain or distresses.
Or drives away peace from the breast
1t never turns men into demons,
While the Devil runs off with the rest
Then three cheers with will for colo
water!
As slaves we never can be;
Wen stand meath temperance banner
And prove Independent and free!

The License Question.
TCONCLUDED.I

Some of the GallipOlis temperance
pledges bear the names of good
many men and boys who have been
addicted to strong drink, they are now
battling with a perverted appetite
and they find the cOntesta a very hard
one. heard one of them beseech his
old comrades to assist him oput these
saloons out of the way, by voting fol
the Beer Ordinance, and sustaining
these noble women. He said he
wanted to keep the pledge, but the
saloons were sore temptation to
him-fearful man-traps, which he has
to pass on the street. While thou
sands of moderate and immoderate
drinking men in various parts of the
State were taking the same decided
stand, sagaciOus lot Of rascals and
bummers organized the aforesaid
Convention at Cincinnati, and made
infiamatory speeches in favor of pro
tecting and perpetuating these sa-
looms by law; and then insulted these
persons and the Commonwealth, by
declaring that they were working in
the interest of temperance! These
are the men that are engineering the
political machinery to-day! Should
we wonder, therefore, if honest men
refuse to participate in an election,
when they can vote for none of the
candidates with an approved con
science? And when Incorporate men
get out of the slums, and try TO re-
form and become good citizens; when
they join these women in urging rum
sellers to close out their dangerous
places, is it not time that the saloon
ist was waking up to the awful re-
sponsibility of his calling? Suppose
that through his agency one of these
reclaimed ones should fall, and final
ly lose his immortal soul, how is he
going to atone for that deed? ''WOe
unto him that giveth his neighbor
drink Verify l should be afraid to
be a rum-seller.

The following description of a re-
markable meteOric display is given
us by "a gentleman who witnessed it
quite recently at Kingston Springs at
2:10 A. NJ: at took the shape of a
ball of fire, rising in the north and
passing rapidly through the heavens
and going down in a southwest direc-
ton. Apparently two feet in diane
ter, it had a blazing tail which seem
ed to be about fifty yards long, the
whole making so vivid light that
one could easily see a pin on the
ground. Just before it went out of
sight, there was a terrible roaring
sound as if a dozen heavy cannon
were firing not far off. At first |
thought Old Baldy had broke loose
in earnest.-NdshUiLe Union and

Thinking Twice.

A strict father strove to impress
upon his children the importance of
thinking twice before speaking once.
His eldest son, William, was one day
walking past his fathers stable, when
the hostler called him in and told him
to run home quickly and tell his IA
ther to come to the stable immediate
ly, as one of his horses was dying.
He went home, and seeing his father,
said, very slowly; "Father, l think
once" About five minutes after
ward he added; "Father, | think
twice; one of your horses is dying.
Now that boy wished to be smart
and his father made him smart very
rapidly, half an hour later, on discGE-
ering that his horse was dead; ne
tanned the rear part oil Wllham
nantaloons so vigorously with a shin
ole that the boy has since been taking

thing to him.
This hydra called license, is a
child of the devil. 1t has been sent
here to help his Majesty's co-work-
ers on Earth. The little imp will
make itself useful by assisting rum
sellers to rope in their victims from
off the street and by-ways with
greater facility than they could do
without its assistance. For the pal
try sum of 800, or less, it is propos-
ed to license rum-sellers to pander to
the base appetites of men-to hold
out temptations that will secure the
hard-earned wages of the poor la
borer, whose wife and children suf-
fer for the bare necessities of life.
For these wages they are only re-
quired to give that which will deaden
all of the mans moral sensibilities,
