KOBE, Japan, August r. 1879.

KOBE, Japan, August IT. 1879. We are having terribly warm weather here, l but by the time you get this letter it will be
 cooler. The locusts singing as they do at home in very warm weather. The country
 is full of sparrows they are native here. You should hear the skylarks' song there are a great many here, and their notes are very pleasant. The crows are the most comical
 There is small temple near my boarding house, and of course some very large trees.
 The crows make their home in the trees, and forage around the town for living. They are not timid like our crows, but being sacred bird to the Japanese, and not allowed to be killed, they have become very bold and fear less. My boarding mistress has some chick ems and ducks in the yard, and when they feed them they have to watch until they are done eating, for if they go into the house, down come,the crows, and carry off everything they can get hold of.
 I would like to send you an idea of the mountains They are the most beautiful that could be imagined. Through all the warm weather tue mountains are as green as ever, and i'll shape peculiar and different from any we have at home, that a lover of nature never tires of looking at them.
 The Japanese houses have no furniture as we have, no chairs or bedsteads, in fact noth- ing as we have. The floor is covered with mating made of straw and kind of grass, and is over an inch thick. Their bed is thick quilt spread upon the mating, and their pill low block of wood. They sit down upon their feet. or reclne upon the matts. Sometimes when the family are together, or have com pany, you will see them lying around on the mats talking or laughing, the same as we sit on chairs and sofas to receive our friends, and enjoy their company. In our Japanese office the bantos, or clerks, sit upon the matts with desk about foot high it looks hEe childs' play. If person has any respect for decency, virtue or truth or honesty, they had better stay away from Japan and the East. The poor missionaries struggle against the great tide of evil practices of the Christians, as they are called, and either the time to Christianize Japan has not arrived, some terrible thing will come upon the nominal Christian inhab | itants of this land before long.

For THE NEWS. Give us Sympathy.

This is the cry from every heart,
 In cottage and in hall; It comes up from the busy mart,
 lis echoed in the ball, When smiles are dancing on the face,
 And feet trip OCT the floor. We hear this cry from every heart,
 If we listen at it's door. From lips of lonely widow,
 From some despairing wife, From trembling age, and manhood too,
 In'the dusty paths of life, From merchant at his ledger,
 From maiden at her task. From statesman and from preacher grave,
 Though all may wear & mask. To hide this earnest craving,
 This yearning of the breast, This longing for the unattained,
 This burden of unrest; From each souls inner chamber
 Comes forth the ceaseless cry But give us sympathy. we live
 Withhold it, and we die. 'Tis like the gentle dew and sun
 On dropping grass and flower, Like hope to the despairing one
 In sorrows darkest hour; Ap anchor to the mariner,
 Upon life's stormy sea, A star, whose light will brighter shine
 Throughout Eternity. Thrice happy they who heed the call,
 And yield the boon thds sought; 'Iis in this way that We obey
 The holy precepts taught; And bearing others burdens, We lighter make our own Earth willbe more like heaven, When thls is better known. MRS. ANNIE L. ANaIEl

fish dealer told him that if her tail was heavy enough so he could tie hard knot in it to keep her in the harness he would give couple of good shad for her and send her home in an envelope. But how she cdn go. Jockey Dick, who knows as much about horse as any man in this country thinks that with little training, and chestnut bur un- der the crupper, she will yet make half mile in less time than it takes to wind a Waterbury watch. She has tiue gait, re- sembling an overturned windmill run crazy, those great hoofs flying and "evol1tlng" in all directions with a velocity sufficient to cause sure death to anything so unfortunate as to get within ten feet of them on either side. But for all her faults, Dr. Camp and Myron Decker, the fast horse owners, had better look close to their laurels, for Jockey Dick will soon give them tight rub on the track.

By reason of indomitable energy, he has retrieved his fortune and been enabled to build up a new enterprise which bids fair to outrival his old ventures. With new outfit and many or iginal features in his ring he appeals to his old patrons, who will not fail to respond to one who has furnished them so much amuse- ment in days gone by. One of his new departures is the presentation at the afternoon performance of a juvenile circus troupe, in ad- dition to the full regular show, wherein the performances of the little boys and girls on the Shetland ponies are said to be very inter- esting, especially to the children. All the t. tie people should be given an opportunity to see them. In many places MT. Murray has visited, the public schools have been dismissed that they might enjoy such opportunity.
