THE RETURN.
BY TUE AFTHOR OF “ FESTCS.”
1 oey cc:ne, from the ends of the earth,
White with itsartd srows;
From the bounding breast ot the tropic tide,
Where the Jay beam ever glow? ;
From tie* east where first they dwelt,
b rom the north, and the south, and the west,
Where the sun puts on iiis robt s of^light,
And lay? down his crown tn re t
Out ol every land they come—
Where the palm triumphant grows,
Where the vine overshadows the roots and the hills,
And tile gold-ntlied orange glows;
Where the olive end fig-tree thrive,
And ihe rich pomegranates led,
Where the citron bloom?, and the apple ot ill
Bows down it? fragrant head.
From the lands whete the gem? are born—
Opal and emerald bright ;
From shore? where the ruddy corals grow,
And pearls wiih their mellow light ;
Where silver and gold areduir,
And the diamond rivers roll,
And the marble white a? the still moonlight
Is quarried, and jetty coal: —
The come—wih a gladdening about;
They come—with h tear ot joy ;
Father and daughter, youth and maid,
Mother and blooming boy.
A thou-nnd dwellings they leave,
Dwellings—but not a Home;
To them tl.eie is none hut the stored soil,
And the land whereto they come.
And the Temple again shall be built,
And filled as it was of yore ;
And the burden be lit! from the heart of the world,
And the nations all adore ;
Prayers to the throne of Heaven
Morning and eve ehxll rise.
And unto and not ol the Lamb
Shad be the sacrifice.
iHisccUrtncous,
Wonderful Toys.
The Pedigree of Puppets vviil scarcely be
complete without a sketch ol” those mechanical
figures which have excited tiie wonder and
admiration ol” all ages and nations. Even jn
:ho days ot” Horace, Archytas, the. astrono
ner. made a pigeo * of wood, which by the
aid of machinery, flew from one place to an
other; not. however, in quite so wonderful a
way as the fly made by John Muller (who,
alter the aliccted custom ot the day, chose to
call himself Regiomontanus) which could
skim the air around a dinner-table; and to the
astonishment of the guests, finally settle upon
flie handol its master and maker.
Bui these tire trifles compared with the
wonderful things told by iatei writers of the
power of inventive genius in expending itself
ip t) trifles. Philip Camuz describes an ex
traordinary automaton group that was got
up, regardless, of course, of expense, for the
entertainment ol” Louis the Fourteenth, it
consisted of a coach and horses —wi.at a mod
-. rn coachman would designate ; a first-rate
turn-out/’ l;s road was a table: arid, at start
ling. tiie coachman smacked iii> wltip. the
h*.. sc? 1) gaa to t rance ; then, subsiding into

equip..ge arrived opposite to where tiie King
sat. They then stopped, a thounnn dismount
ed from the foot-board, opened the door, and
handed out a lady; who courtesying grace
fully, offered a petition to his Majesty, and re
entered the carriage The footman jumped
up behind all right—the whip snacked once
more; the horses pranced, and the long trot
was resumed.
Some of the stories extant, respecting mu
sical automata, are not less extraordinary,
D’Aleiuhert gives an account, ia tiie ’■ Ency
clopedic Methodi'piep of a gigantic mechani
cal Flute-player. It stood on a pedestal, in
which seme of the’works” were contained;
and not only blew in tiie flute, but., with its
lips, increased or diminished the tones it forced
out of the instrument, performing the legato
and staccato passages to perfection. The
lingering was also quite accurate. This umr
vslous Flautist was exhibited it: Paris in 1738.
and was made by Jacques de Yaucanson. ttie
prince ot automaton contrivers.
None of’ Vaneanson's imitators have been
able to accomplish the organization by which
his figure modified the tones by tiie action of
the lips; although several flute-playing pup
pets have since been made. About lorty
years ago there was an exhibition in London,
of two mechanical figures, ot the size of life
which per brined duetts Incredulous visitors
were in the habit of placing their lingers on the
holes of the flutes, in order to convince them
selves that the puppets really supplied the
wind, which caused the liutcs to discourse such
excellent music.
Vauranson lies, however, never been out
done; after his Flautist, he produced a figure
which accompanied a flageolet played with
one hand, wiih a tambourine struck with the
other. But his most wonderful achievements
were in imitating animals. His duck became
a wonder ol the world. lie simulated nature
in the minutest point. Every hone, every
fibre, every organ, were so accurately con
structed and fitted that the mechanism wad
dled about m search of grain; and, when it
found some, picked it up with it? bill arid swal
lowed it. •• This grain” (we quote from the
Iliagraphie Univevudle) “produced in the
stomach a species of trituration, which caused
it to pass into tiie intestines, and to perform ali
the functions ot digestion.” The wonderful
duck was not to be distinguished Irom any
live duck. It muddied the water with its beak,
drank, and quacked to the lifts. From men
and ducks Yaucanson descended to insects. —
When Marmontel brought out tragedy of
’’Cleopatra.” Yaucanson obliged the author
with a mechanical Aspic, in order that the he- |
rcine might be stung wit ii the closest imita
tion of nature. At tiie proper moment the in
sect darted forth from the side-scenes and
settled upon the actress, hissing ail the while.
A wit on being asked his opinion ot the play,
answered pithily, ’■ 1 agree with the Aspic.”
Single mechanical figures, including the !
automaton Chess-player (which was scarce
ly a fair deception, and is too well known to
need more than a passing allusion.) although
surprising for their special perform trices, were
hardly more attract ive than the groups of au
tomata which have been from time to lime ex
hibited. One of the Memoirs ol the French
Academy of Sciences describes, in 1729 a set
of mechanical puppets, which were at that
time performing a pantomine in five acts. In
174t3. Bienl'ait, the show-man. brought out
■ The Bombardment of the City of Antwerp.”
which was performed in the most soldier-like
manner, by automata ; all tiie artillery being
?ervvd and discharged with that regularity
which is attributed to clock work-work. A
a. or two latei the same artist produced
. Gat.. i A o • .j * Berg: ill Mp-Zun-u.’
with unequivocal suc’css. He called Iris com
pany Comediens pratidents.
The latest notable effort ot” mechanical pup
pet manufacture is exhibited at Boulogne at
the present time. It is silt,it of a jeweller, who
lias devoted eight years ot” his life to the per
lection ot a clock-work conjuror; which he has
made a thorough master of the thimblerig.—
Dressed in an Eastern costume, this necro
mancer stands behind a table, covered as the
professorsol legerdemain usually arc, with lit
tle boxes and cabinets, from which he taks the
objects he employs during the exhibition. —
He produces his goblets, and shows the balls
under them; which vanish and reappear in
the most approved style : now two or three are
conjured in a spot a moment before vacant;
presently, these disappear again, and are per
petually divided and re-united.
At every exclamation of the spectators, the
little conjuror turns his eyes from side to side,
as if looking round the house ; smiles, easts his
eyes down, bows and resumes hie sleight
o! hand. He not only takes up the goblets
! from a stand, and places them over the bails,
but It aves them there for a minute, and holds
; his hands up. to show the audience that he
conc.als nothing in hi? palm or sleeve. He
then seizes tiie goblets again and goes on.—
i’ltis trick over, he puts his cups away, and
shuts his cabinet, fie then knocks oa his ta
ble. and up starts an egg to which he points
to secure attention: he touches tiie egg
(which opens lengthwise) and a little bird
start? into life si ,gs a roundelay.claps its enam
elled wings—which are of real humming birds’
feathers beyond any rnetalic art ia lustre. —
and then falls back into its egg. The little
conjuror nods, smiles, rolls his eyes right and
left, bows as before, and tiie egg disappears in
to the table; he bows again, and then sit?
down taintima e that the performance is over.
The height of this little gentleman is about
three inches; his table and every tiling else
being in due proportion. He stands on a high
square pedestal, apparently of marble. It is
however, of tin. painted white, and within it.
are all the wheels and works containing the
heart of the mystery.
Tin's jeweller sold to a dealer, who re-sold
to a Persian, not. long since, a Marionnette
flute player; but whose fingering in the most
elaborate pieces, although as accurate as if
Drout or Nicholson had been the performers
had no influence over the tune; which was
played by a concealed musical box. It was
therefore, much inferior to those mechaanical
flautists we have already described. The
jeweller lias never ceased to regret having
sold this toy. He could have borne to have
parted with it if it had remained in Europe
but that it should have been conveyed, as he
says, ’ to the. other world.” has been 100 cruel
a blow, “'rout le month’’ he exclaims, -aera

The Japan Expedition.
An English View of the Expedition vndev
Commodore Perry. —The empire of Japan
lias long remained a sealed book to the vari
ous nation? of” the civilized world. The. ruler?
of that rich an.l populous country have for a
long period continued to acton maxims of ex
clusiveness so complete as to put even the
policy of the Court of Pekin to shame.—
There is but. one European people—tlie 1 Hitri
—with whom they have consented to hold the
most modified intercourse; and that inter
course lias been limited to the admission of
two ships annually from Batavia into the port
of Nangasaki. The value ot both cargoes is
said to amount to about $300,000. We have
lying before us an account current of the
Dutch consignments and returns for a partic
ular year. VVe find the imports into Japan
consists of sugar, tin cotton thread, black p“p
per. cloves, seed cloves, lead, sa pan wood Pat
na chintz cloths, woolens, camlets, and a few
minor articles of tiie like description. The re
turn cargo is in the main made up of copper
and camphor. In former days Japanese ex
ports included timber, wheat, rice, co:loti ?i!k
amb g is Nor his the rigi i po!i y
exclusion been applied only to the VV ?te ;
world. All Eastern peop es, with the single
exception of the Chinese, have been pul under
the ban of the Japanese empire. Ten Chi
nese junks are annually admitted imo the port
of Nangasaki, as a set ofl against the two
Dutch ships from Batavia But for thest
trifling exceptions, as far as tiie rest ot” the
world is concerned, the empire of Japan might
as well have no existence. It is a fair ques
tion how tar any tribe or race of human be
ings possesses the right of excluding the rest
of mankind from all participation in the ben
efits to be derived from an extensive and beau
tiful region.
That the country abounds with mineral am!
vegetable productions, and is admirably adap
ted for carying on commercial intercourse
with advantage to the inhabitants and profit
to the rest of mankind, may not effect the
properties of the problem, but at least it
quickens our desire for a solution. Is thi?
right of exclusion founded on reason or on
force? It on reason, we should be curious to
see Tlie arguments by which it can be imag
ined. If the right of exclusion is simply tin
right of force, why let those who appeal to
such a principle be prepared at all times to
make it good. They may leel assured that
some time or other their pretensions will be
put. to the test. In any case, they can lay
little claim to sympathy. They have by their
own acts put themselves out of the pale ot” tiie
great brotherhood of nations. They have
refused all aid to others ; how can the ask it
themselves ?
The Tartar dynasty had long contrived to
exclude the rvorld from any but the most hu
miliating intercourse with China. That pre
tension has been set at rest forever by the op
erations of the British forces. Now it wouiti
seem the end of civilized exclusion from Japan
is at hand, although, happily, we are not in
tin's instance to be the executioners. The ex
pedition is to be undertaken by the United
States, and that our friends on the other side
of the Atlantic are in good earnest sufficient
ly appears-by an announcement which will
be found in another portion of our columns
this day. The enterprise is undertaken by
the government at Washington, and one o!
the best officers on the navy list of the United
States has been appointed to the command.—
The officers intrusted with the command can
have little difficulty in dictating their own
terms, both at Nangasaki and Jeddo with such
a power at their disposal.
Enough has been said to show that public
opinion in England will run in favor of the ex
! pedition which is about to sail from New York.
It should not. however, be forgotten, that bo’.li
humanity and policy recommend moderation
in the midst of success. Wiser maxim? than
of old are now beginning to prevail amoiiiri
civilized nations, mere territorial acquisitions
are known to yield hut slender gains. If only ;
i we can establish a free commercial intercourse
with Asiatic, nations, conquests must be re-j
garded as mere burdens. We can have little;
doubt but. that the United States expedition j
against Japan will prove Ihe eounlerpart of”
our late operations in China. May Com.
Perry and his forces meet with like success
and use it to as good a purpose.--Lo(/u/?

Lora Cockburn’s Life ot'. Jeffry has just
been published. Lord Cockburn was one ot ihe
most intimate friends Jeflry bad—first bis as
sociate and friendly rival at the Scottish bar,
and afterwards his brother on the Scottish
bench. Many stories perhaps mythical, are
i current in Scotland, bringing om the contrast
of the two Iriends —Jeffry itud Coekburn —ill
their character of barristers addressing Scot
tish juries: Jetfrv, the clear. Attic in telfect,
speaking in a distinct, musical voice, from
• which the Scottish accent had been almost
! eradicated; Cockburn. the Scotchman all
over, and what i- more the Scotch humorist
One of the stories told was as follows : In
one case, in which Jeffrey and Cocburn, when
barristers were engaged, a question arose as
to the sanity of one of the parties concerned.
“Is the defendant, in your opinion, perfectly
sane?” said Jeffry, interrogating one ot the
witnesses, a plain, stupid-looking countryman.
The witness gazed in bewilderment at the
quesnoner, but gave no answer. It was clear
he did not understand the question. Jeffry re
peated it. altering the words. “Do you think
tlie defendant capable of managing his own
affairs?” Still in vain; the witness only
stared the harder. “I ask you again.” said
Jeffry, still with his clear English enunciation,
: do you consider tiic man perfectly rational ?”
No answer yet; the witness only staring va
cantly at the eloquent little figure of his in
terrogator. and exclaiming. “Eh !” “Let me
tackle him !” s :id Cockb urn. Then assuming
his broadcast Scotch tone, and turning to the
obdurate witness. “Hae your tnuil wive?”
Oh ay.” said the awakened Cimon, stretch
ing out his snutf horn. “Noo. lioo lang ha ye
kent John Samson ?” said Cockburn. taking
a pinch. “Ever since he was that high.” was
the ready reply, the witness indicating with
his hand the aliedged attitude of John Sam
son at the period of his first acquaintance with
him. “An’ d’ye think noo. at ween you and
me.” said the barrister, in his most insinuating
Scotch manner, -that there’s onything infill
the crater ?” • I wudna lippen him vvi a bull
calf.” (I wouldn't trust him with the guardi
anship of an infant bull,) was the instant and
brilliant rejoinder. The end was attained
amid the convulsions of the court; what Jef
i trey could not do with all ! D cleverness,
Cockburn had done by dint of his inveterate
Scotticism.
Ik Marvel’s Portrait.
Ik Marvel is decidedly good looking. He is
• lightly above the average height; in form
inclining to the slender, lie is of a graceful,
though not commanding figure. His face is
full—call it fat. if you will —and fair, and pale.
He wears his hi ick hair a hi Dickens, longish
and jantity; and his black whiskers, a In IJul
irer. luxuriant, and- all the way round.” Im
perial and mustache are happily wanting.—
i'he finest feature of his face is that one which
is most prominent in a profile. It is large and
beautifully formed. He may be. twenty-eight,
thirty —possibiy thirty-five—years of age. —
ilut there is a bright, winning, kindly look in
iiis pale countenance, that gives’ him a more
youthful aspect than —perhaps —he is entitled
to. Distant reader, Ik Marvel looks very
much as you would naturally expect the au
thor of the “Reveries” to look.
There is a little—very little, but still a lit
tle—ot’ ilu- dandy in his appearance. He but

The V iset ssiti'des op Fortune.— The
Mount Holly (N. J.) “Mirror” thus notices the
•images in tin fortune ot Prince Murat: —
There are very many in our country who
remember Prince Lucien Murat, the sporting,
good natured soul, who formerly dwelt at one
i orner of (he late Joseph Bonaparte’s estate,
■it Bordentown—living no one knew hardly
iiow—wild and reckless —to day flush with
money, to-morrow not a sot in the locker.
Well, this sum jovial Prince has given a
practical iliusintuo o. me truthfulness ot
.Miakspeare’s s ivi’ig that there’s a tide in the
affairs of man which, if taken at the flood
leaus on to fortune.” The election of Louis
Napoleon was tlie (loud-tide with him —for he
and his family are now as the head ot the heap
in France, rich, courted, living in grand, royal,
superb style.
lie has risen from Lis obscurity at Eorden
town —where he so often enjoyed his punch and
wine with boon companions, or startled the
wood’cock along the low banks of the Dela
ware —and been summoned to the height of
whatever fame the French President lias to
lend him. He wears the velvet uniform of
a Senator—his finances arc said to flourish—
and his offspring arc greeted with every prom
ise of having a position and making a noise in
:he world, as the following notice, taken from
a Parisian paper, will show: —
• Tlie baptism of the infant of Prince and
Princess Murat took place at the Elysee. The
infant was held at the baptismal iont by the
Prince President and the Princess Mathilda.”
Success to our friend the Prince. May he
live long to enjoy his new-born wealth and

accidents happening to passengers on rail
ways. have induced some scientific persons to
1 urn their attention to anew material lor the
construction of cars. The article known as
galvanized iron lias been selected tor that
purpose, since it cannot be weakened by oxi
dation and exposure to the weather.
It is thought that a car properly construc
ted of this material will be lighter than one
made of wood ; it will be much stronger, and
| in case of a collision with another car, might
| :>e much damage I hut the floor would not
! splinter, nor the sides, nor the front. The
j passengers might be jammed up in the car,
! but they would not he killed by fragments of
i wood, nor be dragged along on the ground
! through a broken car.
In short, the idea is one which is not only
plausible, bu*. to all appeararce, practicable.
| and we hope it will receive the consideration
i • f the leading railway companies.

The ott propounded query of where do
the pins go to, has been singularly answered in
London. The Lancet records the death of a
tradesman’s wife from eating pins. Upon a
post mortem examination, the stomach was
iound to contain in its lower half, nine ounces
o! pins of a purple black color, not corroded,
all bent or broken, many very pointed. The
contents ol the stomach were very much thick
ened. The intestines contained a mass of pins,
very tightly packed, of various shapes, similar
to those found in the stomach, and wholly
obstructing the tube. Their weight was about
