Behind 2: murkct stall, installed,

Stands. at her stand the fairest girl

Her two lips are of cherry red ;

With such a pretty turn-up-nose,
And lovely reddish hair.
’Tis there she stands from morn till night,
Her custotncr to please,
And to appease their appetite _
_ :-‘be sells them beans and pens,
Attracted by the glances from
'i‘he apple of her eye.
And by her Chili upples, too,
l-inch pas.-or by will buy.
She stands upon her little feet
Throughout the live-lung day,
And M-‘ll! hnr celery and things-
A big feat by the way.

A Curious Question.
A -lnugbtcr?
‘ Well, what brought her‘?
Kitty a.~‘ks—-‘- How come she l:ere‘?"
Half with joy and half with fear.
Kitty is our oldest child. :
blight years old, and rather wild-
Wild in mum.-r, but in mind
Wishing all things well defined.
Kitty sa_vs—-‘- How came she here.
Fntlu-r? Tell me. It's so quot-r.
Yo.-sterdny we had no sister.
l-Tl.-is I’m sure I should have kissed her
When I went to had last night :
And this morning hailed her sight
With a strange and new dc-light.
For, iudo-ed, it passes all
To have a sister not so tall
As my doll ; and with blue eyes :
And-—-I do dcclnre—it cries 5
Last. night I didn’t see her, father ;
Or, I’m sure, I had much rather
Stayed at home as still as :1 mouse.
'l'hnu played all day at grandmu‘s house.
She is so pretty and so tiny _;
And what makes her face so shiny ?
Will it always bop like that ?
Will she. swell up plump and fat,
Like my little doll ; or tall,
Like my wax one-? Tell me all-
All about. her papa. dear.
l’orI do so long to hcnr
Where she came from and what brought her-—
Your}; nud mama's bran new daughter.”
A d:uightcr,—an'ot.her daughter I
And the question is, “ What brought her?
Spence, our boy, but thrno years old,
Says the nurse did—nn-l is bold
ln defiance of them bolh——
Since to yield his place he’n loth,
And pouting, feels his no.-ze’:-t point
Whcul declare ’tis out o fjoiut.
But though the childish explanation
Be food enough for chil-l’s vexation
We older folks must better find
To feed the hunger ofthe mind.
To us of larger issues preaching.
This link oflifc eternal, reaching
From earth to heaven. this new born soul
Conic f.'c.sh l'rom where ever roll
Its countless years through yonder heaven,
llnth deeper cnusc fonlhiuking given.
A daughter !
And what brought her? -
No matter what ; she comes to bring
A blessing in her life’s young spring.
" No matter darlings! she is here-
Uur daughter, sister, baby dear :
Open your hearts and let her enter,
Open them wide, for God hath sent her.’ ’

MISCELLANY.
A GLoonrBam.u..——We have heard of
some dark scenes, but rarely encountered
anything as deficient in sunshine and
whitewash as the following. ' It reads
like a yard of crape :
‘ Gloom was upon her countenance and
upon his. The man whose holy oflice
was to unite them in bonds never to be
torn :lRllll(l0l‘,_st00(l like an executioner
before the bridegroom, and they--the
pair waiting to he hlcssed~—bent down
their heads like criminals before him.
In vain miglit. the eye wander around
the assembly in search of sunshine upon
9. single countenance, all was dreary
hlack——ull assistants as well as attend-
ants at the ceremony were alike shrouded
in one dark, overshadowing pull of rnyless
gloom. '
Ah, joyful should ever be the linking
of young he-arts together, and terrible
must be the feelings of those around
whom the shadows of fate are gathering,
even at the threshold, which should blnze
in all the gorgeous coloring of hope and
promise.
Yet. the same somber shade, the same
gloom of hue, the depth of darkness, was
seated upon every feature. No sudden
blushing of the rose, no swift succeeding
of the lilly, no fitful clninges, telling of
youthful passion, and warm, bright hope,
were seen in the bride’s check, but one
unvuryiug shade of funeral gloom pos-
sessed the bride, possessed the groom,
possessed the pr_eachcr,——iu fact they
were all possessed.
Reader they were Timbuctoo dar-
kies !

U. S. SHIP “Poarsnorrn,”
Simodu llnrbor, Niphon Island, Japan, g
September llth, 185'}. _
Vile arrived at. this port; en route for
Hakodadi, two days since, after a tedious
passage of sixteen days. On our passage
up we discoverer] a line of breakers not
laid down on any chart or mentioned in
any work on Japan, in our possession,
and we, in view of these facts, named
them the “ Portsmouth breakers,” inbou-
or of the discovery. This is a most valu-
able and highly important. discovery, for
a Qsscl bound to this port and not hav-
ing the position of tlicse breakers mention-
ed in the general clnirt. of -the coasts of
Japan, and advancing unsuspectiugly,
. would inevitably be dnshed to pieces, 1111-
less like us, she discovered the treacher-
ous appemmice of the water in time to
elude the impending dnngcr,~—t.his how-
ever was mainly owing to a vigilant. “look
out,” which is ever kept. on board :1 well
conducted war vessel. Their sudden ap-
pearance must be attrilmted to some phe-
nomenou, arising possibly from the effects
of earthquake and volcanic action, more
especially since the severe cm-t.liqunke
which visited Simoda and vicinity not
long since.
Since our Ship has been lying here,
the oliicers have visited the shore, and, I
am happy to‘ state that, contrary to all
our pm-.m:i.ture prediclzions, we found our
fears regarding the -infringment of the
Japanese on the stipulations of our treaty,
to be altogether unfounded. Our Con-
sel-Gcneral, Townsend I~In.rris, Esq., (who
by the way, with the exception of ‘his
Secretary, is the only foreign resident
herc,) has entered into aseries of negotia-
tions with the two Governors of Simoda,
' —all parties lining vested by their re-
spective governments with full power to
execute and carry into effect the same,-
in which the port. of Nagasaki, on the is
land of Sikokf, is to be thrown open for
American vessels to obtain all necessary
supplies, or refit or rcpnircluniagcs. 'l‘he
port of II akodudi may retain there, as a.
resident, :1 U. S. Vice Consul, from the
American cit-
izens may reside pa?‘-Illammlly at the ports
of Simoda and Hakodadi. A standard
of currency and weights have been estab-
lish’ed—-thcir silver ‘,‘ Itselmcv’ being val-
ucd at 33% cents, thus a" Mexican dollar
is worth three Itsebues; six per cent,
however, is’ allowed them for re-coinage,
as they will not permit their own curren-
cy to be circulated, neither will they use
ours, for immediately on the receipt of
our money it is sent t.o the imperial mint
at Yeddo, and re-coined.
In all their intercourse with us since
our arrival here, the Japanese have been
friendly, polite and attentive ; their ba-
zaars have been thrown open for our ex-
press convenience, and although the cer-
emony of obtaining full and complete
possession of the goods purchased Has
been long and formal, yet in no one in-
stance has cli-scourtesy been shown. All
their dealings have been marked by that
polished alfubility and politeness which
"are the world-renowned attributes of the
J npnnesc. Instead of being possessed of
that tricking, servile, grasping disposition
so general in most Asiatic countries, they
are proverbinlly noted for their pride,
manly independence, and strict probity.
No inducement can tempt a Japanese to
swerve from a strictly honest course, or
stoop to the committal of any ignoble,
dishonest, or pusilanimous action.
The treaty which has been cfilmted by
Commodore M. 0. Perry with these peo-
ple, although it conceded but little to us,
has nevertheless been the primary step
which will eventually gain for us-a secure
footing in the country. Even a superfi-
cial observer cannotfail to perceive this ;
in all justice, therefore, to that .galln.nt
and distinguished officer, we must accord
him all the honor and credit. due. his man-
ifestly grcat achievement. Unlike our
transatlantic neighbors, who would most
likely on a parallel occasion have resorted
to forcible measures—-our s=qnndr0_n went
out to Japan on a peaceful errand, and
in its exercise effected more than has
ever been done by foreigners since the
expnlsion of the Christians from the Jap-
ancse domains, towards the latter part. of
the 16th century.
Having visited but one port in Japan,
I am not prepared to give a fair, impar-
tial description of the entire country, but
I shall rcserveiny general comments until
the ship has visited the other port or
ports, but as it is probable I shall not re-
vert particularly to Simoda, I will say all
I have to now, concerning it.
The town of Simoda is situated on
the chief island, Niphon, or Nippon. The
denly from the sea, then taking an ab-
rupt curve to the left, where in a fertile
valley, surrounded by huge mountains, is
rather pictu1'esqi1ely located the town,
from which an unobstructed view of the
sea can be gained. The harbor is inse-
cure for vessels riding out a gale, unless
the wind blows from the North East
quarter,‘ in which event the lofty hills act
as a shelter. In the rear of the town,
situated some distance inland, towers to a
prodigious altitude, “ Vries Volcano,” a.
burning mountain, emitting occasionally
vast quantities of lava, which takes a ser-
pentine and seaward course ; in short the
whole appearance of the country for miles
around is unmistakably volcanic, and it
is often visited by earthquakes. During
the month of July last, no less than seren-
teen shocks of earthquake were felt here,
the vibrations, though slight, were nev-
ertheless sensibly felt for miles around.
As regards dress, the Simodnns certainly
have not much greater pretentious to a
superfiuity of it, than the oft humorously
described Arkansas dnndles, whose dress
consists of u “ shirt collar and a pair of
spurs.” The summer costume of a Simo-
dan, of the lower order, appears to been
narrow strip of cotton cloth wound round
the loins, a pair of straw shoes, and a spe-
cies of umbrella, lVlil('ll latter article an-
swers the double purpose of protection
from the fiery rays of the sun or the del-
uge of showers. Some of our ofiiccrs,
uuncquainted with the cont1'arie_tics of a
Japanese climate, on going on shore neg-
lected to take with them their umbrellas.
This piece of in:n'lvert.ent neglect they
soon had cause to regret, for after expe-
riencing one hour of intolerable heat, old
Sol was suddenly obscured by a dense
mass of thick black clouds, and they,
having no friendly awning to dodge un-
der, were thoroughly saturated. To add
to their comfort, a group of Japanese ju-
veniles congregated about them, running
ahead and casting occasional glances be-
hind, giving thcm the full benefit of nu-
merous and energetic “ hi-yahs,” and re-
yardiug them with aprofundity of intense
wonder and curiosity. Their infernal
yells were interluded with oft repeated
and very unsatisfactory indications of the
proximity of the canine species, who ran
round and exhibited in their percgrimr
tious large and most formidable rows of
ivory. , But all things must come to an
end, so after running the gauntlet of the
Japanese youngsters and their ferocious
four-footed companions, they arrived with-
out more adventure at the quay, and soon
had the gratification of being on board
their vessel.
We sail to-‘fnorrow for our northern-
most porl‘. (Hakodadi), which we are ex-
tremely desirous of renchingbefore the
violent autumn equinoctial gales overtake
us. During t.hc time we have‘ been lying
here, a reconnoisance of the harbor has
been made by some of our officers, in or-
der to compare our observations with
those of the officers of Commodore Per-
ry's squadron, who surveyed this harbor
during the time the “ Vaudaliu” and ot.h-
er vessels of the Japan Expedition were
anchored in this port.
Since our cruise to the northward, the
sanitary condition of our ships company
has rapidly improved. The cool, bracing
weather already set. in, forms a very agree-
able and beneficial change to dissipate
the effects of a long continuance in tropi-
cal and sickly climates. So it is to be
seen that this casual visit to the north-
ward is attended with more than one
good result-. ‘Very truly,

38“ The Columbia (S C.) Times thus
records one of the melancholy. results of
sending young men North to be educated.
It is a sad case, truly :
“A highly respectable and wealthy plan-
ter iu an adjoining district sent one of his
sons, an intelligent youth to a Northern
school, to be educated. After remaining
some years, he took a religious turn, stud-
ied, divinity, and was admitted to orders
in the Episcopal church. At his fathc-.r’s
death, which took place sometime after,
so thoroughly had the young mun’:3 mind
been fascimtted by his Northern precptors.
and associates, that it was with the ut-
most dfliculty he could be prevcutecl from
manumitting his negro-as that fell to him
from his father’s estate. He now resides’
altogetlir at the North, aliented from the
society, if not the affection, of every meml
bcr of luԤ'- family. Numerous instances
have oceurrecd, showing the danger of
sending Souhern youths to be -educated
