Instead of onr weekly chat, we pre*
present our young readers this week,
with an account of the reception of the
famous Japanese Embassadors , by the
eager and excitement —loving New
Yorkers. The account is graphic and
full of interest, and written by one
who was an eye witness :
TIIE JAPANESE IN N. Y.
A long and eagerly anticipated
eveut has at length transpired, ike
curiosity ot thousands has been giati
lied, and the high-wrought expecta
tions of many disappointed. During
the present week, the all-absorbing
theme in this city has been the visit oi
the Japanese Embassy. Intense ex
citement has prevailed, and almost un
limited speculations have followed as
a result. The extent and nature of the
demonstrations, the emotions of our
august, but disappointed Aldermen
and City Council, and the probable
feeling and appearance of “the illus
trious strangers,” now consummating a
slow martyrdom to the attention ot
to them—a heathen nation, have been
fully discussed and digested. The peo
ple generally, have manifested very
unusual interest in the appearance ot
the sky, and very probably, like the
hypocrites of old, have succeeded bet
ter iu this than in discerning “the signs
of the times.” If a “sincere desire,”
not appealing for fulfillment to the Die
ty, is prayer, then multitudes in this
modern Sodom, Irom the boot-black to
the merchant prince, from the bare
footed child of degradation to the
perfumed, Fifth-Avenue belle, have
really prayed —for a fine day. The
heart of the city— if it has one—
throbbed faster than usual on Friday
night. however, with benevo
lence, for its guardians, blind or indif
ferent to the want and misery around
them, foolishly appropriated §30,000
for reception of the embassy. School
boys, and young ladies of the enthusi
astic order —from six to sixty years of
age —dreamed, during the darkness
that divided Friday from Saturday, of
oriental splendors. Sensible persons
slept soundly.
This morning the sun smiled with an
unshaded face on the city. Soon the
light of his countenance had a melting
influence. Broadway was gay as a
fashionable lady, brilliant and diversi
fied as an Eastern bazaar, and keenly
alive as an avaricious lawyer. Flags
fluttered from every window of the
Metropolitan Hotel, and it therefore
presented to tne a most ridiculous ap
pearance. Barnum doubtless rejoiced,
for over and around his museum
streamed the emblems of various na
tions, while the excited sons and
daughters of Eve eagerly sought, and
with gladness paid for admission there
unto. Every window and all the bal
conies of the huge building were crow
ded. This seemed also true of each
house, on both sides of Broadway, from
Union Square to the Battery. The
crowd increased, and the side-walks
were thronged. The stages going
down were packed, much to the incon
venience of ladies nearly lost in crino
line, and to the fatigue of those patient
martyrs, the stage burses. Regiments
began to march toward the rendezvous.
The sound of martial music mingling
with the murmur of the multitude,
and the rumbling of the vehicles,
might have enabled one to imagine
the din and confusion of Babel. The
.scorching rays of the noonday sun
streamed silently, but with great pow
er, on the city. The ladies fanned
their perspiring faces, sentimental
young men wished they were handker
chiefs, small children cried, mothers
scolded, and the rest grew impatient.
Time passed however, at the same old
rate. A breeze began to blow. Many
a melting person became grateful, and
would, if possible, have written an ode
to the zephyr. Clouds sailed along
the sky, and rested over Gotham. The
dust began to rise, and the multitude
to expect rain. But the kind clouds
remained stationary, without express
ing their feelings. The boom of dis
tant canons was heard. “They have
arrived, “screamed the boys, exclaimed
the men, and shrieked or whispered
the ladies. Expectation rose to a diz
zy height. Tile people watched and
waited.
Soon some wearied policemen ap
pear, endeavoring to clear the middle
of Broadway, which, since the stages
left, has been occupied by the crowd.
Energetically struggle the perspiring
knights of the blue coat and star. —
Slowly retreats the swaying throng.
Strains of music sound faintly in our
ears. “They’re coming now !” whis
pers the witty young lady from Vir
ginia at our side.” “That’s so,” we
exclaim. Here comes the first line—
a few policemen, whose forms seem
vague in a cloud of dust. Now the
soldiers approach. Poor fellows ! they
are tired, the sun has melted their en
ergy, and they march without spirit or
order. A troop of horsemen pass be
fore us. We call attention to a corpu
lent native of Germany, who is jolting
on his saddle, as if he would shake his
“inner man” out. Probably this is
the desire of his horse. The young
V irginia lady laughs, and points to
the raw boned animals, which “look as
if they were dying of unreciprocated
love.” A valiant cavalier urges his
stiff-jointed steed against the foremost
of the crowd, and strives to drive
them back. The females tremble, and
thu males frown, threaten, or swear.—
“Here are the Japanese!” “Where?”
“What!” “Vanity of vanities,” say
we, “all is vanity and vexation of spir
it.” Are these the “illustrious stran
gers” concerning whose feeling we ex
perienced anxiety ; are these they of
whom we thought and dreamed ; they,
for a glinipse of whose faces we walked
and perspired, and patiently waited !
Can it be ? Three stupid looking in
dividuals, with countenances devoid of
interest and intelligence ; with heads
lacking hair, or bearing that luxury in
little plaited knots ; with no hats, or
what seemed us small tea-trays in liew
thereof; and with pantaloons in which
the largest Dutchman might leap with
out a fear. Verily we are'disappoint
ed. We deserve to be, for uone have
any right to trust that groundless an
ticipations will be realized—nor any
reason to complain, when they are dis
appointed. But here, in the carriages
that pass, arc other representatives ot
Japan. “I know that isn’t a man,”
says our lady friend, pointing to a Ja
panese—the very picture ot a shriv
elled cip old maid, in one ot the open
barouches. We notice one with an
eye-glass, and another with a pair of
yellow kids on his hands. Still they
come. One of their number sees us,
or our young lady friend, or both, then
bows himself, makes bis companion do
the same, and 6iniles benignly on us,
while we return the compliment.
The Japanese are not so stupid after
all, think we, our vanity, or some oth
er emotion having been gratified. The
vehicle with “the treaty-box,” and a
number of the Embassadors’ atten
dants comes in sight. “bonder’s
Tommy”! and we strain our eye-sight
to obtain a view of that petted indi
vidual. We wonder how any lady
could possibly kiss him, and conclude
that there is no accounting for tastes.
Regiment after regiment marches by.
A huge hill of baggage appears, a
cloud of dust arises, and then the
crowd, from both sides of the street,
join. The procession is past. We walked
home, and thought as we went, of the
vanity of all things and feelings unin
fluenced by Heaven. The vast major
ity of men are materialists. We
longed for the good hour when the un
regenerate world will awake, under
the influence of the Holy One, to spir
itual life, when each immortal being
will live for the eternal good of his
fellows, and the glory of God—when
the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ, will be belived and ex
emplified by all.
At night the Metropolitan was illu
minated. We made a calculation, and
found that there must have been about
seven hundred lights in front of the
building. The whole block between
Houston and Prince Streets, was
densely crowded. So closely were
the eager beholders packed, that a per
son once in thethrong had an almost
herculean task to get out of it. The
Japanese were serenaded. The music
was grand. This will be readily be
lieved when it is remembered that the
perlormers numbered one hundred,
and were from Dodworth’s celebrated
band. The “wee hours” of the sabbath
morning, saw the street in front of the
Hotel still crowded. All things, at
least most things, have an end, and, at
length, the “drowsy God” asserted his
supremacy, and silence reigned for a
few hours in the deserted streets.
We have much to tell and say, hut
since we have told and said so much
about the Japanese, we will hold back
our knowledge and thoughts for anoth
er week, and affectionately sign our
self, Your old, young 1 friend,
RIVERDALE.
New York, Jane 18th, 1860.
ABIDING IN CIIRIST.
President Dwight used to say to his
classes, as they went out from under
his care, “ Young men, it is not great
talent, it is not great learning that is
to enable you to do good, but abiding
in He then added, “The
young man of whom we expected least
all the way through college has now
attained to the greatest excellence and
usefulness, and lias done the most for
the upbuilding of the cause of the Mas
ter.” That man was Dr. Nettleton.
His hopes were not bright ; he was
gloomy and despondent all the way
through his college course ; but he af
terwards shook off this dark mantle,
and richly exemplified the power and
beauty of the religion of Jesus. He
was eminently a lioiy man —because
he abode in Christ, and wherever he
went Christ went with him, and giori
himself through an arm of flesh.
THE LOST.
Surely, were God but for one mo
ment to let this world hear the weep
ingand wailing of the lost, that sound
more terrible than Egypt’s midnight
cry, would arouse the student at his
books, arre#t the foot of the dancer in
the ball, stop armies in the very fury
of the fight, and, calling a sleeping
world from their beds, would bend the
most stubborn knees, and extort from
all, the one loud erv, “ Lord save me
or I perish.” — l)r. Guthrie.
PARDON THROUGH CHRIST.
If we were in prison, under sentence
to the gallows, and a pardon signed
by the appropriate authorities should
be brought us, we could not but hearti
ly rejoice ; and hence it is written,
“ We joy in God through our Lord Je
sus Christ, by whom we have now re
ceived the atonement,” because ar
raigned, tried and condemned in the
court of justice aud of law, we obtain
for onr guilty, perishing souls, through
the atonement, pardon and liberty.
DRESS SACRIFICED FOR
CHRIST.
The late Dr. Judson, of Burmah,
tells, iii one of letters, that “ a Karen
woman ottered herself for baptism.—
After the usual examination, I inquir
ed whether she would give up her orna
mentsfor Christ. It was an unexpec
ted blow. I explained the spirit of the
Gospel; I appealed to her own con
sciousness of vanity ; I read to her the
apostle’s prohibition, (1 Tim. 2 ; 6.) —
She looked again and again to her
handsome necklace; and then, with
an air of modest decision that would
adorn, beyond all ornaments, any
Christian in any land, she took it off,
saying, ‘Hove Christ more than this !’ ”

can be furnished by any Dentist in the State.
A WORD ABOUT THE
“ STYLE OF CHEAP WORK.”
Persons needing Dental Operations or Artificial
Teeth, and not able to pay me my regular prices,
may feel assured that I will rather share my pro
fits with them than “accommodate” them with a
cheap, or inferior style of work, as such will never
give satisfaction, and is the dearest in the end.
All persons desiring my services will please call
at my Residence, in Perry, where they will find
all the comforts of a first-rate Dental Office. Fam
ilies living at a distance may procure my services
by giving me notice.
Dentists will find a large assortment of the best
materials, for filling Teeth, as well as for making
artificial sets, at Nothern prices.

the third Monday in January, and continues 24
weeks. The second commences on the third Mon
day in July, and continues 18 weeks. The first

SOUTHERN COKDIAL,
FOR DISEASES OF THE BOWELS,
IS acompound ofSouthern Vegetables long since
known to the Medical Faculty, as a remedial
agent for the above diseases, but never before so
happily compounded. It stands alone on its own
merits, having never been puffed as most patent
medicines have. All tlie Proprietor asks is, to
give it a trial. This, j* the best tastimony, as
thousands who have used it will testify.
For further particulars apply to those who have
used it, and be satisfied that it is not a humbug,
but a good, safe, and very efficacious medicine for
the diseases for which it is recommended.
A liberal deduction made to wholesale dealers,
or Planters.
All Cash orders filled and forwarded forthwith,
by express.
A supply kept constantly on hand.

CANCER CURED.
riYHE subscriber continues to cure the various
X forms of Cancers and Fistulas, without the
knife. Patients frequently stay at home till death
stares them in the face, before they seek relief,
but then nine times out of ten they* are beyond
the reach of all remedies. Apply in time and he
will insure a cure in every ease. This is no Yan
kee trick to take their money, for in all reasonable
cases he warrants a cure, AND IF NO CURE, NO
PAY.
He has cured quite a number in the last five
years, many of them of several years standing,
and even thought to be hopeless, for which he
could add some very interesting certificates and let
ters, but thinks it useless. Come and see for
yourselves. All applicants must apply In person,
and be prepared to remain a month or two under
his immediate care.
Communications will receive prompt attention.
Address A. L CLINKSCALES,

ILLUSTRATIONS OF SCRIPTURE.
(JUST PUBLISHED.)
Suggested by a Tour Through the Holy Land.
By 11. B. Hackett, Professor in Newton Theo
logical Institution. A New Edition, greatly en
larged and improved. 12mo, Cloth, sl.
The first editions of this work had an extensive
sale, and received universal commendation. In its
present enlarged and improved form, it is invalua
ble to every student of the Bible, especially to
ministers and Sunday School teachers.
“The work befits the character of its author.—
Simple, chaste, direct, accurate, thorough, devout,
it brings before the mind the scenry, the customs,
the institutions and the manners of the Bible lands,
with remarkable freshness and beauty.”—lnde
pendent.
“A standard work for Students of the Bible, a
most timely aid to the teachers in our Sunday
Schools, and convenient always for family refer
ence.”—Christian Examiner.
Prof. Hackett’s accuracy is proverbial. We can
rely on his statements with a confidence which is
in itself, a pleasure. He knows and appreciates
the wants of readers; explains the texts which
need explanation; and, on the authority of his
own vision imparts to his readers the knowledg
which they require. He gives life like pictures
instead of dry details, and charms while he in,
structs. —Bib. Sacra.
