To me grey hair is beautiful. My mother’s hair is grey.” low, earnest, reverential tone in which they were spoken, had impressed the gayest of that . gay young group. The speaker had numbered more than for. ty years. He was above the medium Leight, . his frame indicating vigor and manly strengh, . rather than“ grace or beauty. The face, ted both confidence and respect. nary expression was grave, smiles rarely visited it, bnt when they came, the effect was place. Around the broad, high brow, elustered graceful curls of dark, brown hair. The contour of the head was singularly beautiful, and more than redeemed the plainness of the face. He wasa man of great moral and mental power, to whom his acquaintances looked up with admiration that was little short of reverence. By the magic of his eloquence he could.sway a listening multitude as the leaf. burdened branches of the forest trees are . swayed by the winds of heaven.

Wat™ from the still, did you % upon him, and he had but to listen to the promptings of ambition to scale the dizziest . heights of popular favor. He was the poor man’s friend. The widow and the orphan neyer claimed his sympathy in vain. Kind words, which cost the giver nothing, and kinder deeds, which are the true measure of beney. olenee, ‘¢ Fell from him noiseless as the snow,”’ and made glad the hearts of the needy. He knew the “names of Husband and Father.’’ est cottage where he had set up his household goods, were his beautiful sweet voiced wife, and a group of fair haired children. who clustered like olive plants around his table. His absence from home was like the withdrawal ed, seemed to them “to brighten lighé, And give back sunshin ’ vith an added glow.’ He was a Christian—not by profession only, but in deed and truth. His religion was igi not a dead letter: a matter of mere formal . belief. and more formal practice, but a living, active principle, which regulated all his actions. He did not wear it like a Sunday coat, to be laid upon the shelf at the going down of the sun, but he wore it through the week, in the hurry of bussines, and the pursuit of leasure, in the house, and by the way. That which perhaps more than anything else. gave grace and beanty to his character, was the love he hore-his mother, the watchful . care with which he smoothed the path of her we takegrom an old number of the N.

The brightest ornaments of the mod. of light from the loving household of which . he was the head ; his presence when he return. declining years. his unwearied devotion to i her comfort. and the reverence with which he always spoke of her. “To me grey hair is beantiful. My mother’s hair is grey.’? He could remember when that same erey hair was dark and glossy asa raven’s plume,—when the calm pale brow it . shaded was free from wrinkles ; when the now colorless cheek was flushed with the rose-tint of health and happiness. He remembered how carefully she guarded his helpless infanand suffering for his sake,—the gentle force . with which she restrained him during the sea. son of headstrong. impetuous youth.—the proud affection with which she marked the development of his manhood,—and the deep, . strong, deathless love with which all his life long she had covered him as with a garment. And to him now. in the pride and vigor of his manhood, even her grey hairs were beautiful. Nor hers alone,—but every head which age had silvered o'er, was reverenced for her . sake. In this busy, bustling age of the world, . when the accnmulation of wealth, and the . passion for public honors engross so large a . share of men’s time and thoughts, reverence for the old is in danger of being accounted an old fashioned duty, to be laid aside with hoops and furbelows. powdered wigs, and silLABELS, POSTERS, And in short, all kinds of Job work will be quickly done, neatly done, and well done, and on the MOST REASONABLE TERMS. ; : ¢ ¥: a t Ls ver knee buckles.

The little girl appeared to be five or six years old. and was beantiful as a fairy. Her eyes were lit up with a gleam of intense happiness, and her cheeks glowed with the hues of health. Our bachelor looked at her for a moment admiringly. She met his glance with a smile, and with an . ed on, still smiling, to tell the joyous news to . to her that lifted her little heart above the . reach of ordinary envy, for in the baby was . yesterday, in State street. see his intended wife, and fora long time the flood to claim present obedience, is as . 1 Ais . 2 . question, and something like a regret stole cy. cheerfully bearing privation, weariness . eager voice saluted him with—“ Have you got a baby?” He was struck aback by the over his mind, as he looked upon the anima. ted and beautiful face before him. ‘No,.”’ he answered. ‘“ Well,” she replied, drawing her tiny form proudly up, “we have,’ and passthe next one she might meet. What a world of happiness to her was concentrated in that one idea—the baby! And in her joy she felt as if all must have the same delight as herself; and it was a matter of affectionate pride her world, and what else had she to crave? Such was the reflection of our friend, and he remembered it long enough to tell it to us J A country fellow came to the city to could think of nothing to say.

The Brocken and Vufcan Islands were insight on our right. After passing Rock Island, ye stood in nearer to the shore, which loomed yp grandly through the hazy atmosphere. The promontory of Idzu is a group of mountains, rising to the height of five or six thousand feet, their summits Scarred with slides, and their sides mostly cover. ed with forests, though here and there we could discern patches of cultivated land.— . There were a number of fishing junks off the approached. The wind was ahead, we had all sails furled and the yards squared, and sight of our two immense steamers—the first that ever entered Japanese waters—dashing along at the rate of nine knots.an hour, must have struck the natives with the utmost as. tonishment. Leaving the mountains of Idzu behind us, we stood across the Bay of Kowadzu, (as the . southern half of the bifurcate Bay of Yedo is’ called.) toward Cape Sagami, at the extremity of the promontory which divides the two. . The noon observation gave lat. 34° 57 sec. . N,. and soon afterward Cape Sagami came in . sight.

Each one bore . a large banner. upon which charactetrs were inscribed. against the wind. soon left them behind, no . doubt completely nonplussed as to the invis. ible power which bore us away from them. The Bay now began to be thickly studded with fishing smacks, with here and there a large junk, . The shores of Sagami are exceedingly pic. turesque and beautiful. They rise in avrupt . bluffs, two hundred feet in hight, gashed with . narrow dells of the brightest verdure. which slope steeply down to the water, while the country behind rises in undulating hills, displaving a charming alternation of groves and cultivated fields. In the distance rose moxntain ranges. receding behind each other until the vapor hid their farthest summits. Te pastern coast, belonging to the province of Awa, now came in sight ahead of us. for we were entering the narrowest part of the Bay, leading to the puper Bay of Yedo. The distance from shore to shore here varies from . five to eight miles. but afterward expands to twelve or fifteen. We kept directly up the Bay, and in half! an hour after doubling Cape Sagami saw before us a bold promontory making out from the western coast, at the entrance of the Up. per Bay. Within it was the Bight of Uraga, . and we could plainly see the town of that . name at the head of it. The Plymouth and Saratoga were cast off, and we advanced slowly. sounding as we went, until we had ad. vanced more than a mile beyond the point reached by the Columbus and the Morrison. We were about a mile anda half from the promontory, when two discharges of cannon were heard froma battery at its extremity, . and immediately afterward a light ball. of . smoke in the air showed thata shell had been . thrown up. An order was immediately given to let go the anchor, but, as the lead still . showed 25 fathams, the steamer’s head was . put in toward the shore, and ina few minutes . the anchor was dropped.

THE SOCIETY O The following pertinent renfarks occur at _ the close of an article on the dangers of “College Life,” from the pen a New York clergyman, which appeared in the N. Y. Times: “The society of ladies has done much for me all my life long ; softening influenee ef such associations that. with God’s blessing, restrained.me from mae", ny an excess into which I might. otherwise= have been led-while receiving my education.

It was not alla dream which made the wife of Julius Czsar so anxious that he should not go to the Senate Chamber on the fatal Ides of March ; and, had he complied with her entreaties, he might have escaped the dagger of Brutus. Disaster followed disaster in the career of Napoleon, from the time that he ecased to feel the balance-wheel of Josephine’s influence on his impetuous spirit. Our own Washington, when important questions were submitted to him, often said that he should like to carry the subject to his bed-chamber before he had formed his decision ; and those who knew the . coast, some of which put back again as we . clear judgment and elevated purposes of Mrs. Washington thought all the hetter of him for wishing to make her a confidential counsellor. Indeed, the great majority of men who have acquired for themselves a good and great name, were not only married men, but happily married—‘ both paired and matchea Pcncn’s Discourse on Bricks is amusing, particularly this passage: ‘“‘ How common it has been of late years to say to a man. whose virtuous tendencies are of the first order, ‘My dear fellow, you area brick.’ It becomes, however. more emphatic in the usage of a third person. ‘Do you know Mr. So-and-so ? Ishe a good fellow?’ The answer in one word is, ‘ He’s a brick.’ The answer is satisfactory, in all senses, to the propounder of indeed a more satisfactory answer cannot be uttered We have heard this kind of expression called sleng—it really is Genilemen. take off our Plutarch turn to the life of Agesilaus, and what do you read? You'll find. if you understand Greek—and if you don’t, “set about learning it immediately. for the purpose of history, as well as poctry and elevation of thought that when the Ambassador from Epirus went to Agesilaus, to have a diplomatic chitchat with him, he said to him— Where on earth are the walls of Sparta? In other States of Greece, the principal towns have walls—but where are yours, dear Agesilaus? The Sir Stratford Canning, or Lord Cowley, from Epirus, was answered by hat amiable monarch: ‘I'll to morrow. at morning dawn, show you the walls of Sparta. Breakfast . with me, old chap; some of the best black . soup that Sparta can afford, shall be put on the table; and [’ll show you the walls.”’— They met; and Agesilaus had drawn ont his Spartan army before him, and, with exulting cheer and dignified mien. said to his friend from Epirus: ‘ Look, these are the walls of Sparta, sir. and every particular man is a brick!” How classical becomes the phrase ; how distant from slang.” . . Give Me Drivx.—Mr. McLeod, an English writer, puts the following language in the mouths of those who visit the rumseller’s den: There’s my money—give me drink! There’s my clothing and food—give me drink !— There’s the clothing, food and fire of my wife and children—give me drink! There’s the education of the family and peace of the house—give me drink! There’s the rent I have robbed from my landlord, fees I have robbed from the schoolmaster, and innumerable articles I have robbed from the shopkeeper—give me drink! Pour me ont drink. for more I will yet pay for it! There’s my health of body and peace of mind—there’s my character asa man, and my profession as a christian—I give up all—eive me drink! More yet I have to give! There’s my heavenly inheritance and the eternal friendship of the redeemed—there—ihere—is all hope of salvation! I give up my Saviour! I give up my God! I resign all! All that is creat, and good, and glorious in the universe, I resign A Doner.—When Deacon B got into a . bad position, he was very expert in crawling . out of it. Though quick tempered, he was . one of the best deaconsin the world. He would not in a sober moment utter an oath, or anything like one, for his weight in cider. At the close of a rainy day, he was milking upon a knoll in his barn-yard ; one side . of which was a dirty slough, and on the oth. eran old ram. that. in consideration of his . usual quiet disposition. was allowed to run with the cows. The deacon was piously hum. ming ‘‘ Old Hundred,”’ and had just finished the line ending with “ exalted,’’ when the . ram. obeying a sudden impulse to be ageress. ive, gave hima blow from behind that put . him up a short distance, only to fall directly . into the slough, where the dirty water was deep enough to give him a thorough immersing. Ashe crawled out, and before he rose from his hands and knees, he looked over his shoulder at the ram, and then he quietly vociferated— “ You d—-d old enss!”’ but looking around and seeing one of his neighbors at the bars looking at him, he added in the same breath, “if I may be allowed the expression.” .

Around the broad, high brow, elustered graceful curls of dark, brown hair. The contour of the head was singularly beautiful, and more than redeemed the plainness of the face.

By the magic of his eloquence he could.sway a listening multitude as the leaf. burdened branches of the forest trees are . swayed by the winds of heaven.

His absence from home was like the withdrawal ed, seemed to them “to brighten lighé, And give back sunshin ’ vith an added glow.’ He was a Christian—not by profession only, but in deed and truth. His religion was igi not a dead letter: a matter of mere formal . belief. and more formal practice, but a living, active principle, which regulated all his actions. He did not wear it like a Sunday coat, to be laid upon the shelf at the going down of the sun, but he wore it through the week, in the hurry of bussines, and the pursuit of leasure, in the house, and by the way.

He could remember when that same erey hair was dark and glossy asa raven’s plume,—when the calm pale brow it . shaded was free from wrinkles ; when the now colorless cheek was flushed with the rose-tint of health and happiness.

The promontory of Idzu is a group of mountains, rising to the height of five or six thousand feet, their summits Scarred with slides, and their sides mostly cover. ed with forests, though here and there we could discern patches of cultivated land.— . There were a number of fishing junks off the approached. The wind was ahead, we had all sails furled and the yards squared, and sight of our two immense steamers—the first that ever entered Japanese waters—dashing along at the rate of nine knots.an hour, must have struck the natives with the utmost as. tonishment.

We kept directly up the Bay, and in half! an hour after doubling Cape Sagami saw before us a bold promontory making out from the western coast, at the entrance of the Up. per Bay.
