‘the human mind naturally looks forward,”
this enterprising man, no dottbt aware that

commerce would grow out of this new
enterprise, was determined to take his po-
sition in time; and so commenced squat-
‘ting on a spot in a central position, and be
ready to take advantage of the travellin_r_r,
and also the trade in frarzsilu, and have a
mo_no;~.oly of his position. “There is stun
enough in the nei,qhborhood,” said he, “to
build a smart hotel; and when I can get

This was once the great highway of na-
tions, when the commerce of India poured
its wealth into the i\Icditerranean,‘ wltrn
the gold of Ophir was brought to the cof-
fers of King Solomon; wlicn the whole
route was one continuous line of noble
cities, flourishing villages, cultvated fields
and enterprisinginhabitants, in the midst
of which the Nile flowed majestically, as
it now does amidst barren sands. This is
the vanity ofall earthly affairs.
Do I‘IORS1~IS LAUoH"!—Tlris is a question
which has been frilly discussed bya learned socie-
ty, as it would appear, in Tuzrealoosa, Alabama.
The society have occasional meetings to talk
over scientific subjects, and the Flag contains a
full report of one of these conversational sittings-
\Ve present the following extract. showing the
manner in which these discussions are conduc-
ted, and the very important irrfortnation which is
sometimes elicited:

vcrsal impression to be that they do. But
when, to the several persons whom be ex-
amined, he put the question pointedly,
‘Did you ever /rear :1 horse laugh 1’ the
answer was almost invariably in the nega-
tive. He was at a loss to reconcile the
popular opinion, \\ith the entire abscence
of direct testimony. ,
“Prof. Boodle suggested that we are
conversant only with horses in what is
cal_led the (.l0'!seSllc:lt€(l state; and that,
considering the hardships they undergo,
they have very little reason to langh..
“ l"rof. Qiddersly admitted that there
was much force in that observation. But
young colts ought to laugh.
“Prof. Boodle thought not. The pros-
pect before them was no laughing matter.
“Simon Sweepstakes, Esq. ventured to
express an opinion. He had rnnch to do-
with horses, and had arrived at the conclu-
sion that there is a spcies of horses \\lilt‘.l)

, The signs of the times portend the day
,at band when Japan, like China, will be
lrr.-quired to open her doors to the rest of
lmankiad. 'lhe spirit of the age will not
much longer tolerate the exclusiveness in
which she has now lived more than two
hundred years. Yet the task ofthe stran-
ger who shall pv.-rsuade or force her to
“take him in,” will be difficult or dange-
rous. If it shall" please Providence to
charge Great iiritain with the labor of re-
moving, by violence, the barriers which
exclude the world from Japan, she will
find it an enterprise not pflfilllt d perhaps
by the Opium war, protracted and expen-
sive as ll. was.
Japan ll.“-S from Nature formidable de-
fences in reefs, which encircle the islands
and make her harbors accessible on’y by
channels so tortuous and involved that a
fleet overtaken by a storm, while in them,
could scarcely escape destruction. Sprrr
ed dangers of that sort, no invader would
meet on the strand a people greatly supe.
rior in physical ability and in intelligerrce
to any that have succumbed to Bi'I'.I.~'Il
power in India or in China. Blockatles,
hcfwcver rigid, would prove harmless, for
such is the fertility of the soil and the skill
and industry of the people that Japan is
perhaps the tnost independent power on
earth. Neither the bread of the poor nor
the luxuries of the rich come from abroad.
Japan subsists per 8:‘. It is even doubtful
whether a foreigner could do anything
more agreeable to the islanders than to
blockade them rigorously, since non-inter-
course with the civilized world, unreliev-
ed even by srnuggling, seems the consum-
mation of Japanese hope and policy.
It is to be hoped the approaches this
country make, if any, toward that rcnra.'k-
able people, will be made trader wise and
prudent councils. An insult would be
neither forgotten nor forgiven, and a rash
or foolish negotiator would be very likely
to seal hermetically, and for :1 long time,
every avenue through which the Japanese
might be peaceably reached. It is scarce-
ly necessary to say, except _pe.zceal.l_r/, the
Japanese can never be reached by us—
they are so remote and so powerful, this
country should never reduce itself to the
alternative ofa forcib e entry.
An American envoy would find it ne-
,’which cannot be yielded by any nation not
entirely bereft of‘self respect. ,
'l'he exclusion of fill Chri tian nations
from Japan begun in 1637, and is a conse-
quence of an unfortunate interference of
the Portuguese Jesuits with the plitical af-
,f-airs of the Empire. Upon occasion of
the civil wars of that period, supposed by
some to have been fornented by them, the
Jesuits, with less their usual sagacity, pat-
ronized what proved the weaker party.
The flock followed the shepherds, and
sha_r;ed a common fate. It is perhaps idle
to speculate upon tLe probable result to
the Christian party, had not the Dutch,
from a spirit of commercial rivalry, aided
their adversaries, but certain‘ it is, that
whatever advantage :1 perfect knowledge
of the aims and plans of an enemy may
give, tl.-e Heatlrerr host enjoyed by the
agency of the Dutch. The downfall of
the Jesuits was undoubtedly accelerated
by lllcll‘ own arrogance and presumption.
Pretensions to independence entirely in-
consistent with Japanese laws and cus-
toms, and contempt and derision of the re-
iigion of the country, has made them Odi-
ous to that portion of the nation not pre-
pared to adopt the new ai'-.lr. So exaspe-
rated wcre the conquerors by the conduct
of the Clrristians, that, except a few Portu-
guese, it is believed not one escaped their
fury. Pending this frenzy, the Dutch irr-
stallcd themselves in the favor of the tri-
umphant faction, and when their enemies
disclcsetl to the Japanese the fact that the
Dutch too were Clrristians, they so rebut-
ted the allegation by trampling upon the
cross, and other indignities to the symbols
and forms of the Christian faith, that the
Japanese dismissed all fear of the Chris-
tianity of the Dutch.‘ The Pagans were
indebted to the Dutch for a vessel to pur-
sue the surviving Christians to the remote
province of Sincbara, where they had ta-
ken tcfuge. '1 he pursuit was successful,
and, by the merciless slaughter of forty
thousand, Christianity v. as extinguished in
Japan, nor has its light glinrmered there
since.
The history of the Christian religion
does not probably furnish a parellel to this
fortune. The number and constancy of
the victims attest the strength and extent
of its hold upon the people; yet it was so
overborne by an idolatrous faith that not
a votary was left to it—n0r has it, after
the lapse of more than two hundred years,
recovered the slightest foothold where
once it almost possessed the land. So in-
tense was the dread of the Japanese cf the
proscribed faith, that among the institu-
tions of government then set up, and un-
der. which they have since lived, a depart-
ment was organized for the special duty
to guard against the revival of the Chris-
tian religion in the Empire. They further
illustrated their hostility by devoting ‘to
destruction the professors of a faith which
did not differ from the thristian enough
to save it from the same fate. Mr. bicy-
lan states the faith in question was asnally
referred to if-rahminical origin, and once
was nearly universal in Japan. According
to Japanese chronology it was introduced
-there in the trrne of the Chinese Emperor
cessary not only to conciliate the,‘ uation,tMimti, who reigned about the fiftieth year
but to overcome the influence of the l of the Christian era. Its professors believ-

wickedness leads to misery, and misery to;
wretchedness. Dr. Johnson was once
asked, ‘ Who is the most miserable man 1’.
and the reply of the sage was, ‘ That man;
who cannot read on a rainy day.’ Thei
writer was once passing through a park,I
and saw, nailed to one of the trees, this_
warning: ‘All dogs found in this park will=
be shot.’ A friend who was with us, re
malted, ‘Unless dogs can read they are
pretty badly off here.’ ‘ Now, God has not
only written his laws upon the trees, but
in the stars and in the flowers; his laws
are above us and beneath, on our right
hand and on our left, and if a man is not,
able to read‘, he is ‘pretty badly off here’
worse off than the dog, for the dog has a
master to read for him; but man has no
master between him and his God. The
consequence is, he is tapped by cunning at
every corner. He is taken in and done
forby the spring duplicity, and the man
traps of ungodliness, and all he can do is
to flounder and bear.
