JaDanese POIItenesS.

The Japanese, if the accounts OF
travellers may be relied on, are the
most polite people in the world. A
distinguished Frencn lawyer VINO
was employed by the Japanese gov
eminent to assimilate the Japanese
laws to the Co ie Napoleon, gave in a
recent article in the Revue des DueI
NOHdes, some curious instances of
the pOliteness of japanese officials.
Entering village, the head man, or
mayor, accosted him with, "This is
the first time that / fall before your
venerable eye balls" The lawyer an
nOunced his name and mission, to
which the head man replied, "YOu
have condeseended to carry your hon.
orable toes into the infected province
of the ignorant" "I have Just arriv-
ed, and wish to start again tO-mor-
row." continued the lawyer. ''I car
ry this hollow thing" Il cup of tea,
"tO my forehead while drinking your
noble health" replied the head man.
Horses were wanted, but could not be
obtained, and, on passing, the mayor,
who evidently wished to be reported
as favorably as possible at heaUquar-
ters, said: "If the light at my left a
polite mode of designating a person
with whom one is cOnversing soon
returns to Yedd0, may it PrOstrate my
wretched person at the feet OF the
functiOuaries OF the ministry Of JUS

nrganizsd Cremation.

The New York press are discussing
the propriety OF adopting cremation
as substitute for burial. The World
says:
1t is the firm conviction of numbers
of refined and earnest persons tina
the adoption of the practice of crema-
ton will tend to develop and not re-
press our progress in this direction.
1t is their belief that the custom OF
hydT-iotdphiG, or urn-burial, were 1t
to be established anew among US,
would make the culture of the MEM
ories of the loved and lost sweeter
and more general by chasing from it
many of the most painful and shock
ing associations which now surround
the disposal of the inanimate remains
of our kindred and our friends. This
certainly was true of the days Of old
in which this custom obtained among
the civilized people of antiquity.
Nothing is more striking in the fU-
neral monuments of imperial Rome,
even before the advent of Christlanl-
ty, than the witness which they bear
to the deep, abiding and tender inter-
est Of the survivors in the spots
which enshrined the ashes OF the de-
parted. The attention of the traveller
who fingers among the monuments!
inscriptions which line the walls OF
the Vatican and Lateran is arrested
at every step by the simple pathos
and touching beauty of these inscrip-
tions. The remains of the dead in
those ages, instead of being thrust far
out OF the reach and the contact OF
the living as things noisome and loath
some, were brought and kept within
the circle of the daily life and con-
versation of those to whom the dead
had been dear, and who could say OF
them, in the exquisite words OF one OF
the noblest of the Romans: "Alas
elias how much poorer q thing 1t Is
to mingle with all vino are left to me
than to muse upon my memories OF
thee ~
But without attempting or assum-
ing now to advocate one side OF the
most interesting debate, let it suffice
for US to emphasize the fact that the
debate is clearly beginning to shape
itself toward positive results. 1t 10

that q fair trial and decision should

Saloons Va. Ranks.

All moral influences that serve to
restrain excessive indulgence in drink
are proper, and may with propriety
be encouraged. And among the
moral forces operating as such re-
straint, believe there is none more
effective and salutary than the desire
of saving, awakened and stimulated
through the agency of savings insti-
tuIions. It Is no answer to this to
say that intemperance prevails in
spite Of savings banks, and that with
q savings bank on one corner and 8
saloon on the other, the latter was
seen to do the more prosperous 6usi-
ness. That is only assertion, and
lacks confirmation. But IL IL were
even so, the true test could be applied
only by closing up the savings bank
to see how much the business OF the
saloon would be increased by the ex-
pertinent. It Is enough that We
know that some will yield to the
mild restraints of desire to save,
once thoroughly awakened, and II it
be but enc in q thousand thus rescued
from idieness, vice and crime, and

The greatest Of physical paradoxes
is the sunbeam. It is the most potent
and versatile force we have, and yet
most accommodating. Nothing can
fall more softly or more silently upon
the earth than the rays Of our great
luminary-nOt even the feathery
flakes Il snow which thread their
way through the atmosphere as If
they were too filmy to the demands
of gravity like grnsser things. The
most delicate slip Of gold leaf, exposed
to targe t the suns shafts, is not
stirred to the extent of hair, though
an infants faintest breath would set
it in tremulous motion. The tender
estOf human Orgsns-the apple of the
eye-thOugh pierced and buffeted each
day by thousands Of sun beams, suffers
no pain during the process, but re-
jOlces in their sweetness, the useful
light. Yet u few of those rays in
sinuating themselves into a mass of
iron, like the Britannia Tubular
Bridge, will compel the elOsely-knit
particles to separate, and will move
the whole enormous fabric with as
much ease as a giant would a straw.
The play of these beams upon our
sheets of water lifts up layer after
layer into the atmosphere, and bOists
whole rivers from their beds, only to
drop them again ir SHOWS upon the
hills or in fattening showers upon the
plants. Let but the air drink in q
little more sunshine at one place than
another, and it desOlstes a whole re-
gion in its lunatic wrath. The mar
vel Is that power which is capable
of assuming such diversity of forms,
and Of producing such stupendous re-
suits, should come to US IN so gentle,
so peaceful, and 50 unpreten tious q
manner.

Late AZ Church.

The Springfield Republican says :
Zone of the papers tells the story Of
q man coming into ehuch after the
sermon had begun, WhereupOn the
preacher paused and said 10 him /:
Glad to see you, but come in, come
in always glad to see those here late
who can't come early Thank you /;
would you favor me with the text p
ICertainly,' was the answer, which
was done, and the discourse moved
on as before. This recalls a Missouri
incident. One cold night the Rev.
Ezra 8. Fly, OF Presbyterian fame,
was preaching ia prairie farmhouse.
When about a third through the SER
mon, two late corners rode up to the
door and entered. The preacher
stopped, and then said that as these
friends were very cold with their ride,
the meeting would sing q hymn
while they were warming themselves,
which being done, he observed that,
as they had taken so much trouble to
come, he would begin his discourse
again for their benefit, and, taking his
text, he accordingly commenced once
more at the beginning and repeated
his sermon, rather more tn their eGi-
fcation than to that of the rest Of the
audience, perhaps"

mistress chartered pleasantly on the
old-fashioned porch, the two servants
by the gate were sparring away gay
ly.
"Why, Maggie" /" s1id the valet, who
answered to the name of John, you
are twice as smart as half the young
ladies of the present day. What
makes you stay in so degraded q posi-
ton? Don't you know enough to
teach school ?"
"Yes, suppose go" replied Maggie,
with mIschievous smile, which ne
failed to detect; she had been purpose
ly Showing off" "But I'm very
much attached to Miss Lilias, and so
long as one is obliged to work, what
does il matter what one does 2"
ga great DEAL" he answered, much
more excitedIy than the circum-
stances would seem to indicate; and
then he proceeded to show her how
she was injuring herself, and from
that they went off in q long discus
sion upon woman's sphere; and when
they &C last returned to the house it
was with manifest reluctance.
For three weeks Mr.. Marston and
his valet John, remained at the old
homestead. Contrary to the cousins
expectations, Mr.. Marston said not a
word to Marian of the strange legacy
of his father; and everything went on
merriIy until the night before their
departure, when q visible sadness
overshadowed the whole company.
John drew maggie" down by the
gate. They had become very good
friends, notwithstanding Maggie's
ideas their first meeting.
"Well Maggie, ,"he began earnestly,
"to-Dorrow we go away; but before I
leave, l want you to promise to act
on my suggestion.
That Suggestion" was that she
should leave her position as ladies'
maid, and seek some occupation for
which her talents and education fit
ted her.
Then without waiting for her reply,
he continued, earnestly:
81 am more anxious about this
than you can well imagine"
His companion felt his heart beat
ing tumultuously:
John cast quick glance into her
downcast face, and then, as though
encouraged by what he saw, went on,
impetuously.
"You must know what 1 want to
say-must feel that 1 love you better
than any one else in this wide world.
And won't you tell me whether or no
you can ever return my affections?"
Maggie did not answer in words,
but her shy little smile spoke vol
umes; and with glad smile he took
her close to his heart.
After a little while he said seri-
ously:
maggie, darling, perhaps you
think it strange that /, q servant my
self, should be so worried about your
menial position; but have won your
heart under false title. 1 am not
John, the valet, but Herbert Mars
tonr'
She did not evince the slightest
surprise, but to his utter amazement,
said, calmly:
"1t is all right then. Instead of be-
ing Maggie the maid,' 1 am Lilias
Seton, at your service?"
The astonishment was profound on
both sides. The masqueraders were
IN due time married-and, let us
trust, happy.

Of the number some one or more may
