Thfr Broker and his Clerk.
: Many a man who has become a hard
ened criminal might have Wn saved
to society by a little tepder sympathy
' .and discriminate kiidness in the be-
; ginning of his vicious life. Few men
have grace to act like the broker in
- the ' following incident, but success
would follow-often such kindness:
v It is easy-to ruinand rt i'j easy to
' pave a v'oung man' One of the: lea
ding brokers of New York 'had . a
vounr man in. ihis employ. The vast
amount of money m his hands was a
great temptation to him. Small sums
were missed day after day ; one quar
. tor,' then fifty cents, then one dollar,
' then' two dollars were missed. lie
was charged with the peculation. The
broker showed him how lie could de
tect the abstraction, of the smallest
' sum of .money; the young man stam
mered and confessed. 'Now," said
the broker, I shall not discharge, I
shall not dishonor you. I intend to
" keep you, , and make a man of you.
You will be a vagabond if you go along
in this way. Now let me see no more
of this. He went to his work. He
did not disappoint the confidence. He
did honor to his employer. And the
other dav he was inducted into one of
. our banks inj, an honorable position,
and his cmplojterbecame his bondsman
to thet amount of $10,000. Had he
conducted as-some would liave done

' honorperhaps jiei would have ended
hisj days in the State Prison, arid been
sent to his tomb iri the garb of a ccm

from' ruin who bad been placed amid
the temptation of money, and for a
. moment was overcome. ,

The Jidaniae Igonfession v J
A few years ago I visited an insane
asylum. The woman in chaffra'con
ducted me through various apartmenti,
giving us all the information in.t?;
gard to th occupants she was aWe,
and kindly answering all the questions,
until we came to a room where one of
the patients had'lately died, and now
lay awaiting the disposal of her friends,'
who had been a pprised of her decease.
We entered and gazed reverently upon
the. sleeper. She was a woman in the
prime of life, and bore traces of great
beauty. What great sorrow had be
reft this beautiful creature of her rea-.
son? and by whatrelativej and for
what motive had she been incarcerated
in this living tomb? were queries which
were in my mind as I gazed upon her
lifeless remains. .
My eyes involuntarily wandered ov-:
er the aphrtment.; A little table stood
in the corner, beneath the grated win
dow. A bible lay open upon itr and
as I took it up. a' 'paper slid from be
neath its leaves and fell at my feet. I
raised it. It was a closely, writtep
sheet ; and a glance convinced me that
it was some -sort of revelation ' which'
had been written there during the last
hours of he? life that had fled. ' v
'What is this ?' I asked as l held up
the paper.. .
4Oh, that is probably some of Aggy's
scribling. - She used to call for the
pen and. paper, and.she would write
over several sheet3 and. then 'destrov
them. That is probably one of thoin
of no consequence, I presume,' said
the woman. . y .
I asked if I might retain it.
'Why, yes, if you wish toy she re
plied. -
I hid it in my bosom, and sqon left
the premises..
'Whatjiould ybu possibly want' of
that crazy woman's scribling?' my
companion asked as we left. the bui!dv
inr.
T fancy there . is something here
worth preserving,' I replied. 'Let us
examine it.'
As we rode home I" read it aloud to.
my friend, tt was written in a tremb
ling hand, and ead as follows :
T was the only idolized daughter of
waltly parents. I possessed a haugh
ty! and imperious temper which was
never subdued or restrained. 3vl y
parents were never religious and no-
pains were taken to impress upon my
mind religious truths. Consequently,'
I grew Up unprincipled and extremely
passionate.
While every pain's was taken with
my education, ' and .accomplishments,
my heart was lef! to run wild, .over
grown, and choked by the briars and
thorns of selfishness and love of tyran
ny ; yet I was passionately, attached
to my friends, and as long as tlu?y did
not cros'3 my imperious will I .got on
nicety with them, . .
Thus I grew to womanhood. Chan
ces threw me into . the "society ,of a
young lawyer, of distinguished abili
ties, who had )egun what -was" predic
ted a brilliant career. L learned to
loe him with all the depth of my pas
sionate arid impulsive nature ; and he
was wild with joy, when one day he
came. to me, and in elegant lanjruao-e
told mo how long and devotedly he
had loved me, ana asked me to be. his
wife.
We were married. If 1 occasional
ly felt a twinge of distrust of my own
qualifications for ajyife, I soon silen
ced it with the argument that my love
was strong enough to niake up for all
deficiencies.
My husband Avas all that was good,
and "noble and generous. ' I was often
passionate and unreasonable. But he
would take me to his bosom, kiss' me
so tenderly, and , say so gently, 'You
must subdue this unhappy temper';
Agory. It ,
is making you
so misera-
ble.'
Then when be was gone I would ily
to my chamber, lock the door, and
give myself up to a fit of weeping fqr
very shame. '. ; ; ,
We hadjbeen married. Shout a year.
One eveninir ( would to God I could
blot from the record .of time that fa

4 hen with the fierceness of aftiger,
teaxtul of loosing its pref, I trirned
my eyes towards iriy, husband and his
'guilty paramour.' $he seemed to be
joying' the performance intensely,
but he seemed. to. see nothing but her,
and she would occasionally lift? her
eyes to his face. Then I saw him
smile -just- as he had smiled upon me
a thousand times,) while he still bent
over her wjth renewed devotions.
. Each moment ' was' likq .a red hot
dagger ..piercing my heart. I
know,
f not what demon possessed me ; I must

that he should die while yet there ex
isted a spark of loVe for "me, than to
see him drawn by the syren, till perr
haps I should be utterly deserted, and
kit all my blind love-eating
licait strings like a con
?uminr fire.
At my request' .we left the opera at
an early hour, and .with a terrible pur
pose I entered my home. But what
was thai, .home to me ? The love that
had brightened it was no longer mine.
Some demon furnished me with a reso
lution to execute rh'y desperate pur
pose. '
It. had -been our "custom sometimes
to drink a glass' of sweet wine of an
evening when we were alone. ! I drew
the table to the fire and placed the
decanter arid glasses.'- Then with
trembling hands I brought a: deadly
opiatpthe nature of which I well knew.
The first effect it produced was a deep
sleep, which in a few; hours terminated
in the deep sleep of death, j I filled
the glass, aqduinto one. If dropped the
drug all was done with rapidity y lest
my resolution should, fail me. .
When ail was ready I paced up and
down the room, nursing the fires which
raged within my bosom, by recounting
to my idolized husband all my love4
he .lying still and weeping. Then I
drew another picture., I saw him drawn
from cier giving his love to another.
I thought of all the agony I had suf
fered that night, and imagining how
much deeper would be my wrong if I
spared hiin. At tat moment I heard
his night key iri'the latch and he soon
entered the room'. I stood in the re
cess of the window, where he did riot
at once observe mc. The wine first
attracted his attention the fatal glass.
I saw him lift it to his Hp, drain its
contents, and I fell fainting to the
floor. f .
I knew np more for several hours.
When I rallied I was lying on the so
fa ; the lamp was burning dimly; an
easy chair was wheeling at my side,
and in it I saw the form of my husband.
I sprang ' quickly up. He was' in a
heavy slumber, and already his breath'
came "thicker arid shorter, and his pulse
beat but faintly. " ' -
, My anger had passed away; and aH
the. wild worshipping love which I had
cherished towards my husband caine
rushing back upon my heart. Iehafed
his hands, and kis-ed his lips, I strove
to rouse him; but all in vain. Again
I paced up and down the floor, hut oh!
what. .different emotions possessed me
now. . "
A little folded paper, which I , had
not before noticed, and lyjng upon the
table, caught my eye. Scarcely know
ing 6r caring what I did, I took it ud
and opened it. . I saw it was the hand
writing of my husband, and I eagerly
read its contents. Great God of Heav
en. What had I done? It was a note
that Ernest had sent me, jand which
did not arrive till I had gone out. It
ran as follows : ; . . v
'Excuse .ae, Aggy dear,, from-com

my parents. I could not remain in
the houe which'liad been the scene of
my sin tjnd punishment. -

but.wasjs'till treuibling on the verge, of

Nptes on Japan. - . v- .yi
One trait .of Japanese character hasi
evinced itself ins a most emphatic mau-J
ner, since foreign intercourse has been
allowed, -and that is, a,. willingness to.
be persuaded out of their own errone
ous impressions but when, a disposi
tion is -made - toward compelling, by
fusing forcible or threatening language,
they invariably stand on their dignity.;
and will not be moved and that is
one great reason why. the Americans,
as a class, are so much liked,-while the
English on the reverse, are as much
disliked by the Japanese the Ameri
cans inyariably being ready to argue
a point with . persuasiveness, . and a
show of sincerity, while the argument;
of the English is pne of compulsion
and, bullying, which ha never yet
proved beneficial. ;
. So much were the Americaps thought
of here, that the Japanese government
decided to send an Embassy to Ameri
ca especially so when the J apanese
were made aware, of the fact that , ev
ery attention would ibe shown. ta; such
a mission although., such an act was
the first in the history of the empire
ever undertaken. The Americans
since the news of the arrival arid kind
ly attentions shown them in San Fran
cisco, have been the lions of the day r
and in every nook and corner, both
high and low speak ofthe treatment
received by their officers with feelings
of gratitude. Although it was a fore
gone conclusion . with -the. J apanese
officials that the Embassy . would be
well received, yet its influence will be
well and sensibly felt, . and , redound
with, much benefit tq the Americans
here.
The beauties of this country, will yet
be known, ; and Fusiyania, with, its
snowy peak standing like a monument,
the sceptre of Japan, which can-be
seen for 150 miles at sea, will yet find
its sides. covered with eonnoiseurs and
travellers from all part3 of the world,
ready and willing t to accord to ft the
praise it deserves that of the finest
regular mountain in the world.
Jeddo, with its millions upon mil
lions sof -beingSj-its parks; its palaces,
its tea houses, government buildings
andEmperor's palace, will yet b crow
ded by foreigners, seeking and finding
hidden wealth. - -strange tongues will
pervade the very doors of the. Emper
or's palace, where no ""foreign dog"
had ever dared to come, save upon his
knees
Miaco, the heart of the empire, the
residence of the spiritual Emperor, the
Palestine of Japan, will yet succumb
to foreign intrigue, and ere long1 the
prediction given" in a former 'letter
upon the opening Japan-tp trade will
be fulfilled Japan will curse the day
she -saw foreigner iri her midst. ' -
Already are the officials of the em
pire fearful of the wealth of the ttier-chants-their
lowest class and are
devising meahs of reducing " and cur
tailing their increasing strength. ThU
retards -trade,-' and redounds to the
temporary disadvantage of commerce,
California is thenearest and most nat
ural" outlet for the produce of -Japan,
and it devolves upon California to. car
ry out the great project of s.teani com
