“ YOUR MISSION.”
If you cannot plant your cottage
’Mid perennial fruits and flowers,
Spending life’s short summer season
Gladsomciy among the bowers;
You may toil among the faithful
As they tlll Immanuel’s land;
You may live for daily duties,
With a willing heart and hand.
If your station here be lowly;
If no title grace your name;
If you cannot boast of beauty,
And have neither wealth or fame;
You may still be kindly-hearted,
Acting well your humble part;
And, though men may never praise you,
They will prize your ncble heart.
If your path lead through afiliction,
And you draw a sighing breath;
If you cannot keep your loved ones
brom the greedy grasp of Death;
You may smile amid your weeping,
As you put your trust in God;
And, by leaning on the Saviour.
You may learn to kiss the rod.
If you cannot mount the heavens,
Where no cloud its shadow flings;
Ranging through the realms of sunlight,
With the eagle’s tireless wings;
You may be 0 Singing Pilgrim,
With your cross from day to day;
And behold your Master’s footsteps
All along your lowly way.
If you cannot move the mountains,
Or the ocean’s depths explore;
If you cannot chain the billows
As they range around the shore;
You may understand Your Mission,
What: you have to do or hear;
You may work for man’s salvation,
As you for your heaven prepare.
Huston, then, be up and doing;
Time is flying, (160111 is near;
Never mind the toil and sulf’ring—
Jesus numbers every tear.
See! the pearly gates are opening;
Hark! what music fills the air;
Loved ones ready are to greet you,
Beck’ning you their bliss to share.

DEAR GAZETTE :—In my last, dated at Yo-
kohama, July 4, the eve of our departure for
this place, I wrote you everything of inter-
est up to that date, at least to the extent of
my knowledge. Since then there has noth-
ing transpired worthy of note,cxcept that
rumors of battles continue in certain points
of Japan, therefore the country is in as un-
settled a state as ever, and it is utterly impos-
sible to say when the rebellion will draw to
a close. .
The first three days after our arrival here,
(the 7th,) it was a continual rain, which
made it such disagreeable walking on shore,
that I preferred staying on board ship. I
took advantage of the first. fair day, and
‘ went ashore, more for the purpose of reliev-
ing the monotony of ship life than any-
thing elsc. As Kobe is not a place Where
one can pass a few pleasant hours at the
house of friends, the foreign residents con-

Japanese are not very desirable associates'J

where we saw the beautiful shaft that has
been erected by the cr'ew of the U. S. S, S.
Hartford, to, the memory of their shipmates
who were drowned with Rear Admiral Bell.
It is a most beautiful monument. The whole
is made of native granite, the shaft resting
one square base. It weighs about thirty
tons, and cost nearly a thousand dollars
(nesxicaus). On one side is the following
inscription, neatly cut in the stone:
“ Sacred to the memory of ten seamen of
the U. S. Flag Ship Hartford, who perished
in the surf, with Admiral Bell, at Osaka, on
the bar, 11th January, 1868. .
“This monument is erected as a tribute of
affection by their mourning shipmates.”

There is also at the head of each grave a
small square stone bearing the name or the
deceascd. At the head of one of the other
graves I saw the name of a person named.

At the grave of Asst. Surgeon Charles II.

last December, the officers have had erected 1

The next day I went ashore and visited
several temples; I also took a stroll along
the base of the mountains, where I saw :
some very fine water tanks cut in the solid ‘
rock, where water is retained for the pur—
pose of' irrigating the rice fields duringlthe
dry season. The Japanese cultivate ev-

is made into rice fields, and in case such land 1

A letter from‘Callao gives the following
particulars of the earthquake which took
place on the 13th ult. :
“For'full five minutes the heavy, rolling,
rumbling Shock continued, rocking the fur-
niture, and even the houses themselves, with
such violence that persons could hardly keep
their feet, and an instantanteous rush was
made for the street. Here the sight beggar-
ed description ; all the affrighted people,
kneeling'and praying in the open street,
crossing themselves, and falling in deep
swoons full-length on the pavement ; old
women kneeling with both arms upqaised,
screaming and crying ; the bell of Santa
Rosa church tolling and tolling, while the
terrified people had in crowds within the °
sacred inclosure, and the great steeple sway
ed and cracked as if every moment it would
fall upon and crash the afl‘righted masses.
As far as the eye could see down the long
narrow street, the very street itselfrose and
fell in long billowy undulations, while out
in the buy, the ships tossed up and down,
under the violence of the tremendous inter-
nal jar.
