Three centurieerago there existed between Ja pan and the leading nations of Europe no incon sidtliable amount of intercourse and trade ; and, during the continuance of these friendly interna tional relations, theltomish faith was introduced and extensively propagated through the instru merdality,of, Xavier and other Jesuit missiona ries. Subsequently to the expulsion of the Ro man Catholics, however, the Japanese so studious ly and persistently maintained the policy of non intercourse with foreign nations that, until with a few years, their country was comparatively unknown. Since the opening of communications with our own and other countries, Japan has attracted, to herself the interested attention of the civilized world, and 'no ordinary amount of eagerness has been evinced for the possession of information_relative to her singular people. The interest already excited is just now increased by the information that hostilities have already commenced betwattn Japan and the foreign na-: flow, including our 'own, with which she has been in treaty. • We take pleasure in trecommending to our readers the=fOrlt of Sir R.

I have seen it in the papers so often that I should not think of writing upon it. But I believe I have never seen anything in print' to tell young people " how to be miserable." " How to be mis erable ! Well I guess we do n't want to be miserable." Do o't want to be miserable I How so ? Then •why do you take so much pains, to be miserable? I cannot think how a child or a youth, who is free froth care or trouble, and full of buoyant spirits, can be miserable, without . trying very hard to be so. But as I have •seen a great many young persons, who not only seem determined to make . themselves miserable, but everybody around, them also, I thought petbapS they. would thank me for telling them how to do it easier. . In the first place, if you want to be miserable, be selfish! Think all the time Of yourself, and your . own things. Do n't care about anybody else. Have no feeling, for, any one but yourself. Never think of enjoy ing the satisfaction of seeing others happy; but the rather, if you see a smiling face, be jealous l. ,lest another enjoy what you have not. Envy every one who is better off in any respect than yourself—think unkindly _toward them. Be constantly afraid lest some one should encroach upon your rights; be watchful against it, and if any one comes near your things, snap at it like a mad dog. Contend • earnestly for every thing thatls your own, though it be not worth a pin for your rights are just as much concerned as if it were a pound of gold. Never yield a point. Be very sensitive, and take every thing that is said to you in'playfuluess, in the most sincere manner. Be jealous of your friends lest they should not think enough of you. And if at any time they should seem to neglect you, put the worst construction upon it you can, and conclude that they wish to cut your acquaintance; and so the , next time you. meet them, put on a sour look, and show a proper resent ment. You will soon get ri,a, of them, and cease to be troubled with-them. You will have the pleasure of being shut up in your self. Be very touchy and irritable. Cul tivate a sour, cross, snappish disposition. Never speak in good nature if you can help it. :,Never be satisfied with anything, but always be fretting. Pout at your father and mother, get angry with your brothers and sisters ; or if you are alone, fret at your books, or your work, or your play. Never look at_ or admire anything that is beautiful or good; but fix your eye on the dark side of _everything; complain of defects in the best of ' things, and be: always on the lookout for whatever is de. formed or ugly, or offensive in any way, and turn up your nose at it If you will do half of these things 'yea will be miserable enough.—Selected. Christ the Door, "Mamma," said little - Charles to his mother, after she had, one Sunday_evening, been reading to him the tenth chapter of St. John, ".I do not understand' a part of what, you have been reading." " What is it, my child, you do not under stand?" "It is, mamma, where Jesus says, lam the door! How could Jesus be a door? IJe was a man, when he spoke these words, mamma; was he not?" " Listen my son, and I will try and ex.- plain it to you, so that you may understand it. A great part,of the Bible is written in figurative language—that is, it likens the truth it teaches, to some other well known thing. Thus, in the first Psalm the mi= godly people are likened to the chaff which the wind driveth away, because chaff is of no value. And in the 13th chapter of St. Luke, 32d verse, Jesus calls King Herod a fox, because he was in nature like that animal. And, in many places,Jesus speaks tf himself in this kind of language, as in the . chapter I have now read, where he calls himself the aped Shepherd. Nay, my child, you know Jesus was not a shep herd, but a carpenter, and, therefore, he did not mean here that he took care of sheep, but that he, was like one who did because he takes care of those 'who love and serve him. Pray to God that •you may be one of his lambs, my boy. So, in like manner, he calls himself a door." - " But how is he` a door, mamma ?" - "In this manner, my child he is the door to leaven. You -wish to go there, do you not?" ..; " Yes, mamma.", "Then you can' only-go through him. The same as to get, into this room, you must . come in „through the , door. Some people think they can go ,into heaven without Jests, by doing good works and living good lives. But they ; , are wrOng; this is not sufficient; you must love Jesus, and be-: lieve in him. And have Jon tuot cause, my boy, to lovellhim ? Did 'he not 'leave his bright homestbove, where he was worshipped as a great King, And come,down and be born as a little . babe, and litre a life full of sorrow, and,' at la'se; be 'put t6--a cruel death, that we might belnade fit to live with him forever in heaven? For you know, Charles, we very often sin against our good and kind God; and he is a just God, and does not like sin; therefore, we ought justly to be' punished ; but lesne has borne our punieh ment for us, and made us ,fit for heaven_ This is how he, is,the.,door.", " How must I enter:this door;;mamina ?" " If you believe from-your heart that he: suffered all his sufferings for you, you must love him; and if you love him, you will try to do as he tells you. This is how you you may enter. child's ilogazine. Arseitititl'Ornainniti. A few days ago a little'girl had a bunch of artificial grapes given to her. 'After amus ing herself with the toy, she gave it to a playmate of her own age, who presently picked a grape off the butich and'sucked it. The next day she was a corpse. An eminent physician, who analyzed the fatal. plaything, deposed that teii , of the'grapes yielded three grains of arsenic of 'copper—a deadly .poi. son—and. that eaeti- i Yi ne4eaf .the bunch contained enough to "kill `a child. 'Another child's cupboard, in whih its; toys 'were kept, was lined with green paper. The poor little thing sickened and died,' .ohyionsly from the effects of poison mysteriously im bibed. Dr. Letherby analyzed the 'paper hanging of the cupboard, and %IDA : that a piece of it only six inches square contained. nearly thirteen grains of 4he :deadly corn . pound—enough to 'kill two grown-up per ' sons.—London, Inquirer.

Not knowing what to augur from his.un st PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.---WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1863. expected arrival, the missionary went in person to inquire. To his amazement, the answer was, "1 am a Christian !" No sooner bad Tawai . been brought to the foot of the cross, than he hastened to the missionary settlement, to be more fully in structed in the way to heaven. The ac count he gave was this : Like Naaman of old, he bad, in one of his many battles, brought away a little maid, and she, too, waited upon her master's wife. But though a slave, this girl, who was a Christian, did not forget the God . whom sbe, had been taught by the missionary to love. Day by day, she offered up her prayer, not only for herself, but for her captor and - his wife. She was one day discovered on her knees, praying. The chief was enraged, and posi tively forbade her praying again ; but she persisted. He then threatened to shoot her; but she said she could not live with out prayer. The chiers anger was now changed into curiosity: What could in duce the child to endure threats and pun; ishment, rather than cease to pray made her repeat her prayer and texts in his presence. The life-giving Word came with power to his soul. He was awakened and converted. ,• One of the first acts, after his baptism, was to visit his old enemies, and to entreat them to seek the Saviour who had made him so happy; and this was the chief cause of his unexpeCted visit to Kainaio. A few 'words from the lips •of this little maid, through the mighty power of the Holy Spirit, so affected his heart that the lion became a lamb, and no longer delighted in savage deeds, but in wets of lime.— Foreign Missionary. istellantous. The Draft in Foreign Countries. Drafting has, prevailed in various, forms in all nations, and is based on an assumption, without which government would be impos sible, that the first duty of every citizen is due to the State. The term " draft" sig nifieS only an occasional call for Men, while "conscription" indicates its periodical re currence. The ancient Jews had very stringent drafting laws-,`which we find recorded in the Bible. All men were required to bear aims, and the`list of exemptions was very limited. In ancient Greece the laws on this subject attained "a high degree of'per fection, which leaves but little to improve upon, and many traces of a- conscription system,. are found in the pages: of - Homer. The period when a youth of thosedayi attained an age to bear arms in -defence-of his country was celebrated by festivities. If he was an orphan of a citizen killed in battle, he received a complete suit of armor, but- otherwise only a spebr arid shield. The term of service in Athens was from eigh teen to forty, and'in times' of priblic dan ger, Sixty years. Soldiers were at first re quired to support themselves, ,and it was considered disgraceful to fight 'for, pay. The Oarians were the first to pay their sol diers, and Pericles afterwards adopted the custom of paying town soldiers. Slaves were attached' to the army as light troops and servants. -To prevent escape,' soldiers were branded .on the hands, and slaves on the forehead.. - In Rome the system of coescriptioli was very rigid. All the male citizens who were liable to serve, were convened in Abe Cam pus Martins, when the' consuls made the levy out of the several tribes or wards into which. ,the citizens were divided. Only men of good character ' were allowed to serve, and the Roman -soldiers, like those of Greece, fought without pay, for glory. The term of service was for twenty-five years, or the war. The . Roman army, was the best the world has erer, seen. It had no baggage trains, and the soldiers needed little but water or, wine, and corn for sub sistence. This last .was dealt out to them in the ear, and every man ground his own flour in a small portable mill, and baked• it. This is the secret of the prodigious march es of the Roman legions, which rendered them more than equal to ten times their numbers. When the Roman Empire-Wes overrun and destroyed by the Germanic nations, the conquerors intioduced•u`new system of mil itary service, which had , the ,merit of being well adapted for retaining.eonquered 'prov inees in subjection. By this, the privilege of settling on land was made to depend on the Military service of the occupant to the chief military robber, :who, in - hie,turn, was subjected te the higher 'autherity of the , king. From this sprang most of ,thelevils. of modern Society. The actual cultivators of the, soitfound it to theiriinterest.to com pound for their military service in produce and 'money, and with this the petty lordi were enabled to hire regular soldiers who became instruments of -great oppression and cruelty. This was 'the. beginning of the system of rents and landlordism; in modern society?, which is the most fruitful 'source of European pauperism and degra dation.';. In France, the first. Napoleon, organized the military system in nearly. its -present form. AN citizens between the ages" of twenty and twenty-five are liable to serve. Registers are annually made out in every department .of France of the young -.mein who arrive at the ages .specified and those again are divided five- classes-for. each succeeding year. At present they:,serve for tire years. Absentees not appearing within a month_after; aving been,,,notified, are treated as gr . /My of desertion; tlie.pun ishment of,awhioh. aspnblic .or hard., labor, the punishment of the ball, or : death: In the punishment at the ball, an' iron ball of eight pounds weight, fastened to an iron chain, seven feet in, length, is :attached to the leg of the deserter. He first hears his sentence read, remaining on-his knees, and is condemned to ten hours' hard' lab - or dai ly, and in the interval of rest, is chained in solitary, confinement. The duration of the punishment is ten years,,artgravited by every possible mark of ignominious'app peararice, _and in °nee of contumacy, it, is prolonged beyond ten. years, with an addl.—l tional ball hastened to. the leg.

Between the ages, of twenty and thirty-nine, every able: bodied man is for two years a soldier of tlle:iegular army.. After the expiration of his term of service Ihe is attaoheitto.ilie-landwehr or militia, and is obliged to give up four weeks every year to drill and camp duty. The stand ing army is small, and the chief reliance is necessarily the militia. No substitutes are permitted. The Austrian conscription is made an instrument of great political oppression, as it is customary for the officials to draw those persons who are obnoxious to them. The local authorities annually receive from Vienna the quotas of their districts, the only limit being necessities of the - govern ment. In Sardinia conscripts serve sixteen years, eight on .active diity and the remain der period as 'a reserve. The actual ser vice, however, is only fourteen months, as the soldiers then receive a furlough, which is liable to' be reVoked at any moment in case of. war. . The military system of England is en tirely by volunteering. The term of ser vice is twenty-one years. Recently the volunteer, militia have beep organized, but the opt= has no vitality and forms a doubtful element of strength. Golf Prettnet of the World. • In the Banker's Magazine it is stated, that from reliable ; &telt appears, that the produetioa of geld and silver throughout the world has quadrupled since the first discovery of-gold in California {lB4B-9):', The production annually, in ' the, years 1846-1848, was estimated at eisty.one lions.of dollars, of which Russia and Max; ico were ,the, principal sources. The pro- • duet of the current year is _-estimated' at over two hundred 'and seventy millions. I A careful scrutiny of the, whole subject, as to sources of this supply, serves to show • that North and South America produce about 596,350,000 in gold. and $47,650,000 in silver—a total of $144,000,000. Austra- Ha, Russia, and other portions of the world, , produce- annually $108,230,000 in . gold, and $19,845,000 in silver—a total of $127,- 575,000. The annual average of the "gold ; crop" of California is set down at $60,000,- 000. The effect. of this' accumulation of gold is thus stated by the reviewer The vast accumulations of =gold of the last fourteen years inure largely to the ben efit o f the. Unite _States and Great. Britain by giving an impulse to commerce and to manufactures. Remote nations are indi rectly •benefited, because the coUrse of trade is such that gold will flow to those coun _tries where labor is, cheapest, and where the bullion and coin are the most valued, or realize the largest results. This is'fully demonstrated in-the fact that, notwithstand: ing the additional acaumnlations of the, precious Metals within,,the past fourte en years, amounting• to over one thousand, rail ' lions , of dollars, there-is really 'but little more -on hand in the United States 'and Western, Europe than in 1550-53. In the year 1851 the Bank of France held four hundred and eighty-six millions of francs in silver, and eighty-two pillions in gold whereas now, after "a period of twelve years,,; it holds three hUndred and ninety-fonimil lions in both metals. In the year 1852 the Bank of England held £22,000,000 in' bullion and coin, •which was, in fact, for the countrynt large—the joint-stockbanks, country, hanks„ and private bankers main taining but ,small specie reserves.. - This year the =bullion. and-coin of the •Bank of , England ranged , from to 151 millions+ sterling;_ and 'the Scotch and Irish banks: .o_,gra,oo - fi, from which we deduce the fol-, lowing comparative table: 1 • ' • - •' - 1882. lBB3.
