Morgan wished to go abroad. But to travel very extensively required mora money than Mr*.

that, but apeak to bim kindly,, Use persuasion gentleness-—' •With a son!—-persuaaijnl Vou wrong my patience,'exclaimed the Colonel in a huaky voice, •Leave me,* ,,»s.

No more words passed between tbe parents of the unhappy youth but during the remainder of tha day, the mother was keenly distressed, and the stern father was ill at ease. *,

The latter passed a sleepless nigftt. lie paced the floor until late, with bis brow contracted and hia lips compressed then he retired, and lay for two hour*, meditating on some subject which excited his brain. Mrs. il., who was likewise awake knew too well what the subject was.

Considerably past midnight, the Colonel aro$fls •Is anything the matter?* aaked his wife. 'I don't know,' replied the Colonel. *1 thought I heard a sound in the lower part of the house, in the direotion of the study. It may be only a cat that has got in there but 1 will go and see.'. •1 heard something myself,' said Mrs. 11 'bull thought it wa. outside.'

The Colonel had heard more, or understood better than his wife. At all events he had no suspicion of cats—hii allusion to them having been merely to avoid alarming her. Ho remembered that Ihort. was a sum cl money in his desk, and probably suspected a robbery.

Going noislcssly down stairs, and opening the door of the study with a steady hand, he heard the noise much louder than before. He stepped cautiously Into the room. It was a star-light night, and turning his eyes to the window from which tha uotaa appeared to proceed, ha discovered a dim ahadow moving in the curtain.

At that moment the noise ceased. Tha Colonel stood motionless in the corner of the room, until it re-commenced, whou reaching a heavy sword which hung against tha wall, he slowly drew it from its scabbard.

The Colonel then stationed himself near the window, but no sooner had he done so, than the grating noise ceased again. After a short silence he heard another sound, like the breaking of glass and immediately after the curtain was moved aside by an invisible hand.

The darkness, the- loneliness of the chamber, and the mystery of the dim shadow on the curtain, would have shaken the nerves of a man ofless coolness and courage than the Colonel. Determined to take the robber, dead or alive, ha calmly waited for him to enter the room. But presently to his dismay, he heard footsteps coming down stairs. Some domestic, or oat-door laborer, had evidently heard the sounds, and was ooming to learn their origin. Perceiving that this must frighten the robber, the Colonel was revolving in his msnd what br should do to effect bis object, when the hand-that had moved the curtain became visible. It was grouping along the window frame for the spting. Itapid as tha lightening, yet noiselessly and unseen, the old broad sword swept over the Colonel's head, and atruok deep into the woodwork of the window. There waa a atiflad eryj~a heavy fall,—and tha curtain swept back place.

QUOTING SCRIPTURE.—A worthy deacon in the good town of in the neighborhood of this city, was remarkable for the faoility with which he quoted scripture on all occasions. The divine word was eter at bis tongue's end, and all the trivial as well as important occasions of life furnished occasion for quoting the language of the bible. What is better, however, the exemplary man always made bis quotations the standard of action. Ona hot day he was engaged in mowing, with his hitod man, who was leading off, the deacon following in his swath, conning his apt quotations, when the man suddenly sprang from his place, leaving the swaih just in time to escape a wasp's neat •What is tba matter!' hurriedly exclaimed tha deacon. •Wasps!' was the laconic reply. •Pooh!' said the deacon, 'the wicked flee when math, but the righteous are as bold aa taking th« workman's swath, he mov ed but aatep, when swarm of tbe brisk iAaacts settled about his ears, and be WAs ibroed to ^tr^at

the country, that a man who gets a dollar a day, ,e

or three hundred dollars a year, in the city in real cash, is doing well. Let us look at the matter a little. A man is married, and has a wife and one two or three children, as tbe case may be, to sup*.

port. He cannot possibly get a house with a yard to it, at a less sum than otie hundred dollars per year. If he rents two rooms up stairs, and u*$s the street as a play-ground for his children, he can get along wiihsixty or eighty dollars as an annual rent. In the former case, by paying one hundred dollars for rent, there is left for marketing, clothing, doctoring, and a score of other etceteras, two hundred dollars. By careful calculation it is ascertained that a family of husband and wife, with two children, will consume, in actual eating, three dollars per week, or one hundred and fifty-six dollars per year. Certainly, to maintain a proper degree of health, and to have a variety in foodt indispensable in the nature of city life, three hundred dollars is not too much. There is bow left of the two hundred dollars the sum of forty-four dollars, for clothing and incidental expenses. To gat along with this amount, even if the husband has perfe health and works all tlie tiuie, and is always pal off promptly, seems preposterous. In the latter case, where fifty, or sixty, or eighty dollars is paid for rent, but a very little more is left for feel, cloth* ing, and absolute incidental expenses. The palls for religious and benevolent objects are more urgent and frequent in the city than elsewhere and we venture the assertion, that Church members of the humbler walks in cities pay double and sometimes ten-times the amount, than Church members in the country do. A mechanic or laborer in the Methodist church in our city, when he psys his dollar for quarterage is looked upon as only meet* ing his just claim: In the country, if a man pays this much, tbe sum is put down frequently as wonderful. Till taught somewhst by experience, our views respecting the relative expanses of country and city lifa were erroneous* We have il to say now, that a moderate family that can liva on less than 9500 a year, and lay op money, is such a family as we should like to become acquainted ipLii and compliment.

Some men get rich in the city, and it would seem almost on nothing, but they arc men who would become rich any where. Whoever desires* to keep is so an a am a it he ha of vi do to a a re id in a large city." Boys especially arp liable to c^r-1| ruption of morals and character. Tb Ihfi e^ery

Japan has beetifckwed against all Kuropsan and Anieriean ubsenuuion, an-tha same pritioipln as China—ihat of an exclusive State, neither aeekip8. nor permitting-foreign intercourse.

is from the account of some

Dutch travelers, that all our scant knowledge of the country is derived. The following particulars of the Island and government will, perhaps, interest those who have heard of a Japau expedition.

The Empire of Japan, is said to extend over most of the Islands from £j&titu<fo 28 dag. to 4? dog.—or twenty-three degrees of Latitude. But the main Islands of Kiu sin, Niphon at^LJesso. lie betweeu Ln1, 31 and 45 ^\g-{ North. ,1 his the samti piirattel'frith the besrpart of th6 United States.

!Tha

first oF theso,: Ki»i s4^ is about 8V0

miles long tbe second Nipbou. about 1,600 mites and Jesso about 100, rp^len i» Isuglh.., Tito average breadth is about 100 iniles^, They extend in the ocean more than Sbl)0 miles, and have a surface of about IflO.fctK) square mflos. Their pop' ulation is supposed to be about twenty millions, and Jeddo, the capital, is estimated to oontain 1.80^,0- 0 persons and to b® 25 miles in oiruuinfcrenoe. „M

The productions of Japan are very gUineraua, and in great abundance. Among them are Tea, Ipices. Cotton, all the grains and tropical fruits field, Sulphur, Coffe*. Iron, Rw« and Coa%«it is very obvious, from these tacts, that thia country contains the elements of a great commerce. In addition to this, tha peoolo.are iu the physical arts among tho inost civilized of the oriental WdHd. Many of our domtstio mamifsotores are femllliar to thent^ but beyond doubt many ®f toe fabrics whic& wc make so cheap by machinery, would fiud a ready sale there, it|^*«|gfg« SMH? Gold.

The Empire of Japan—its Odveroment and la stitutlons, are the most remarkable In the world Ita vast natural resources have enabled it to ba exclusive, snd its dark aupemtitions have constructed a most complicated, compound Government, in which the spiritual artd civil attributes are sirsngely mixed. The real Government is held by a Military De*pot, called I£ouba,bu» ihe Spirit ual Government by tlie JBaki» residing a sort of prisoner Macago.

The Secret of Longevity. -»4

The means known, so far of promoting longevity, have usually concentrated in ahort pithy say« tngs as 'keep your head oool. and your feet warm* _*'Work much and eat little,' A:o.. just as if the whole science of human life could be summed up and brought out in a few words, while its great principles were fcept out of aight. One of the best of these siiytttgr is given by au Italian in bis hun* dred and sixteenth year who being asked tbe reas-!. on of his living so long, replied with an improvis* ation for which bis country is remarked:
