TIE TWO LAPANs.
Ancient and Modern, and.the- -DIfnculty of
Understanding Them

There are two Japans. One commenced
its national life, SO says mystical history,
six hundred aud sixty years before our era,
with the accession cf the Emperor Jimmu
Tenno. The other, everybody knows,
came into existence about twenty-three
years ago, in the first of Meiii." Neither
of them can be ever at all completely
understood even by the most intelligent
and indefatigable foreign observer. You
ought certainly to have been born under
one Of the great Shogunates, the last Of
which fell amid battle f revolution in A.
u. 1868, to comprehend in any intimate
way ancient Japan; ana you should be
natiye-bred, living part of the brand
new order of things, to have d reasonable
chance of feeling as this people feels and
looks upon the outer and inner world with
their eyes Let nobody, therefore-least
Of all a mere traveler-venture to the
orize too boldly about japan and Japan
