Edward Everett, made a brilliant
speech at the Plymouth Rock Anniversary,
from which we copy the following :
There are two Master Ideas greatest of
the spiritual images enthroned ia the mind
of man, the only ones comparatively

men, springs of all the grand beneficent
movements of modern times, by whose in
fluence the settlement of New England

the great miracle of their enterprise was

I am aware that to ascribe such a result,
even in part, to the influence of religion,
will sound like weakness and superstition

premely skeptical and supremely credulous
which is ready to "believe in everything

Mr. President, this may sound like phi-!
losophy, but it is the philosophy of the : pcarancc iu the country. The King in
Sadducce. It quenches the brightest glory j stead of leaving city for his country rcai
of our nature. The Pilgrims were actua-' deccc, has remained to encourage Lis sub
ted by that principle, which (as I have ! jert3. This magnanimous courage is much
just said) has given the first impulse to a.I :
the irivat movements of the modern world
c n,i
I mean profound religious faith. Ihey
had the frailties of humanity. This ex
alted principle itself was combined with
Luman weaknesses. It was mingled with
the prejudices and errors of ago and
country, and sect; it was habitually
gloomy ; it was sometimes intolerant ; but
it was reverent, sincere, all-controlling.
It did not influence, it possessed the soul.
It steeled tho heart to the delights of life ;
it raised the frame above bodily weakness ;
.it, enabled tha humble to brave the frowns
of power; it triumphed over cold, and
hunger, the prison and the scaffold ; it
tavght uneducated men to speak with per-
euasivc fervor; it gave manly strength and
courage to tender and delicate women.

not gather the fruit, but they have planted
the seed ; others may build, but they have
planted the seed ; others may build, but
they have laid the foundation. This is
the spirit which in all ages has wrortght
the moral miracles of humanity; which
rebuked and overturned the elegant cor
ruption of the classical polythisin, as it
did the darker and fiercer rites of Thor
anl Woden, which drove back the falso
and licentious crescent into Asia, aud hold
Europe together through the night of the

But, sir, our fathers embraced that sec

fruit of the same stock. They cherished
it with a ical not loss intense aud and res-

lency, the Governor of the Indies, his
continual grace, he sends him annually
one dozen of thick wadded gown3, very
useful for a climate like Batavia, which are
put up at auction just as regularly as they
are received."
The Dutch at Decima, (a small island,
or part of the main isle of Niphon, con-
nected bv a bridge not to be passed with-
1 0ut authority,) aro made comfortable by
the Japanese authorities. "Those . who
are stationed at Decima, as well as those
who come over there with the annual ves
sel, get, while they stay, a wife each, for
which be has to pay a certain rent annu
ally ; but if he leaves the station, he must
also leave his Japanese spouse ; and if she
have children, they are Japanese, and not
permitted to follow tho father."
Mr. Gerstaeeker became acquainted with
Dr. Mohnike, who had passed three years
at Decima, and was one of tho Ambassa
adors Ecnt to Jcddo on the pilgrimage
which takes place trionnially. He is sure
Dr. M. could tell a great deal if the

Dutch Government would allow him to
write about such thing?." That person-
age, however, showed him some books and
prints smuggled out of the country, for
the Japanese are very jealous of such ex-
portations. "Numerous persons wcro ex-
ccuted after another German, Seybold,
who had been in the service of the Dutch
Government at Decima, and collected a
great many such forbidden things on the
sly, had left Japan."
Mr. Gerstaeeker thinks the Emperor
will refuse to receive the American cxpi
dition; "or if he does grant them an in
terview, he will dismiss them again with
out even promises." If the Americans
do force an entrance upon some point, and
do not take the whole island, they will be
walled up in a short time, and permitted
to see very little of their neighbors. Still
the islands are too small to resist for any
length of time renewed attacks; and his
Majesty will have to yield first his coun
try and then his crown, just about as wil
lingly as the California Indians, or Sikhs,
or Australian blacks; or, in fact, all other
countries overrun by strangers and ene

Barnum's Role for Success in Business.
In answer to a letter from a friend, re
questing how he gained his riches, and how
to make money, Baruum remarks :
"Advertise your business. Do not hide

A debating society somewhere near sun

swine six months old, a pig or a hog? "
The question was argued at great length
and with "marked ability," but the argu
ments on both sides were so near equal in
point of force and ingenuity, that the
President was desired to decide tho ques
tion, which he did in tho following words:
"It's the opinion of the chair, gentlemen,
that the animal's a good chunk of a shoat."

the fiftidh of Dr. Nott's occupancy of the
chair. He suggested the commemoration
of this semi-centennial Presidency, in some
suitable manner. Tho suggestion was
warmly recoiveo and responded to, and a
Committee appointed to carry it out.

A letter from Canton, under date c-f
May 2, says that it would be difficult to
discribe all the barbarities and horrors per
petrated at the taking of Nan in. Of the
Tartar garrison, more than 0,000 iuclu
ding the families of the soldiers, women
and children, were either put to the sword
or committed suicide, it being a point of
honor with that singular people,, t peiLh
rather than to yield. Every one of the
ptiests, whether of the Budhiat or Toouist
religion, and who were very numerous
there was massacred. Their numbers
could not have been less than 1,000 or 2,
000, while those killed in the assault, the
mening of the wall, and the entry of the re
bels, are said to amount to over 20,000
men. A'cry many families were complete
ly annihilated by suicide. The streets
were so blocked up with dead bodies, that
in passing from point to point the conquer
ors burst open doors jf houses, private as
well as public, and threw Uicm inside as
the Chinese expressed it, as they had been
loirs of wood. The iusunients had no wLsh
to proceed to such extremities, nor have
they shown any cruelty tuwarij the Chinese
people, priests excepted, unless in cases,
j the magnitude of the garrison, au-i a cou-
sequent resistance, many shared a late
which they otherwise, aud in other places,

Fashionable Sins.
Among the most fahiou&ble, and f.jr
from the least of crimes or peecadilloc?,
wImlu aro daily committed in society
and by those too, who in other respects
are almost free from spot or blemish i
that of talking, and talking about other
people's affair. Ia this disgraceful and
j uiischt ivous employment, some seem to bo
more engaged than in any other pursuit
, of life that of laying up a treasure ia
i another, better world uot excepted.
Among those, I do not mean to include
those wholesale dealers in scandal and
malice, whose breath passes over the face
of society like a sweeping tornado, pros
trating everything which happens to be ia
its progress; but I mean those petty re
tailers who deal out m.;r?elois stories,
conjectures, and surmises in small quanti
ties like the pedlers who, too poor to pay
rent fur a shop, travel about the town and
bring their two penny commodities to your
own doors. I mean those people who scent
to have a mint iu their owu imaginations,
where they can coin such small change aj
best suits their purpose, and manufacture
such tales as they think may excite a lit
tle wonder in the hearer and entitle them
to the praise of beiDg their first propagator.
By such fediy and reprehensible indulgence,
they often wound, deeply wound, the char
acters aua leciings ot tuose persona in
j in whose wcuare they are so Cnsity en-
gaged.
