The summer nights are al ways refreshing on tho coast. In tho in terior the weather in sumo places is ex ceediugly sultry. The population of the country might bo about 3S,0U0,000 of souls. The population of Jeddo has de creased, owing principally to the reversal o! the ancient decree by tho Tycoon, re iuirin? the threat diatuios to retain i large representation of their followers at the national capital; and theu there ha?c been some fearful fires, burning down whele acres of houses, and destroying an iuimuKe number of lives. The tellings, partitions, doors and win dows of Japanese houses are made of pa per. J he true Japanese houc is open front and rear, at the rear more , particu larly, and parterres of the most exquisite flowers are trained around the humblest dwellings. The Tycoon is the great temporal rul er of Japan; h3 is Commander-in-Chict of the army and navr : he eovcrns the treasury, coins all the current money of the realm, regulates the supreme, civil and judicial buines.?, and attends to in ttumerablo other matters.

The buildings of the lirili&h Legation at Jeddo, which had just been completed, were burned down ; large numbers ofan py excited men swarmed around thoae porta where foreigners were congregated, threatening to trample in the dust, men, women and children ol the barbarian race, but tne wise ana temperate aciion of the Tycoon allajcd the excitement and restored order.

WHAT ft HALL WIS imiNK? The following extracts are from the October numder of ITalV Journal on Health, which is considered good authori ty on all subjects relating to the preser vation of health: COLD WATER. Cold water, swallowed during tho pro gress of digestion, i lit tanly arrests it, and the process is not resumed, until tho wa ter has been there hnz enough to be warmed from thoteuiperature at which it was drank, to that of the stomach ; or rotn fcome forty degrees, to a hundred : to accomplish thi. the heat muat be ab- fctrae'ed from the general Mrdeni, chiiiint: t. Strong, robust person may not feel this, but if a matt in feeble health drink cold water at a meal, at all largely, he rUes from the table chilly, and soon has ever, while the stomach being kept that much longer at wcrk in digesting the food, oaes its ngor, the dtgcattoo ts imperfect, and the food becomes impure, thus lying at the fuuudalion of di-ee. The inevit able iufercoce from tbcie facts b, that COLW WATEll IK IN'Jt;UIOl'8 TO HEALTH. f taken at tncaU. Injurious to the tuot rohutt, if taken largely, and to persons in fcblc health, if taken at all, beyond a few swallow at a reeal. I therefore set it down, as a clearly cs- ab!ihcd fjet, that a glass or wore of cold waier, jranic naoituaiiy at meals, or soon after, is a pernicious practice, evea to the most healthy. , Injury is done m &nother manner: water, or any other fluid, dilutes the gas tric juice, and thus weakens its power to dissolve the fool. The amount of gastric juice is not lemoned, but iti power is at- mintrhed by its dilation. The finger will be scalded by dippsng it into a vessel of boiling water ; but if an erjual amount of cola water is aadca, it may oc thurnt in with impunity, although there is as much eat m the mss as before: but it is more diffused. Any kind of fluid taken largely at a meal, or soon after, is positively injurious to health. A standing item of advice to ray pa tients is lake but half a g!a.s of water at a single meal, ct a single cup of weak coffco or tea, never increascini the strength or quantity, and drink nothing within an hour after eating. If cold drinks are injurious at meal. cold food is for the Kame reason al.;o inju rious ; thus it is, that some of the ' most terrible forma of disease are brought on by persistence in eating cold food, exclu sively, especially in winter time. , 8 WARM BttISi:s.r If cold fluids are injurious at meal, we naturally concede that warm fluids, io moderation, are beneficial, and rightly so. It then, follows, that, if we drink any thing at meais, it should be first warmed. We may safely admit, that the univer sal custom of a country is founded on com mon sense, common senso beiog the teachings of experience. Common coo sect, and the experience of the civilized world is, that a cup of good hot coffee for breakfast, and a cup of good hot tea for supper is "wholesome." If & person is prejudiced against "storo tea and coffee," then any of our common garden herbs may be substituted, as balm, sage, sasa fras, aud the like j it is tie watmtli that comes first in Importance, and there must bo the tate of something palatable in it, or the stomach will loath it. I am well aware that some persons consider tea and coffee poisonous, as did an enthusiastic young "theological" at New Brunswick, a few years ago,' and demonstrated it, as ho thought, 'to the old Domine,: then in his eighty-six ycar,th and still an efficient laborer in tho vineyard - "It may be a poison, as you say," replied tho old vct craij as the sly mischief twinkled out of tho corner of his eye, ''but it must bo a very slow poison; for I have taken it reg ularly night and morning for these eighty years, and am, as you see; not dead -yet." The same has - becn'said of Doctor John- -; ' J -lVi i!) r .-'.;;!. son. t , t , ' Bottiow comes it that so many sensible people believe that tea and coffeo are1 poi sonous f Just as they have" come to the adoption of any other fallacy.

"early 'nuiuw. Health and long life are almost univer sally SftHOciaied with early rising;' aud we arc pointed to coun:le.s old people, as evi dence of its good effects on the ccneral system. But can any one, on the spur of :ne moment, give a gooJ and conciume reason why health should be attributed to this habit ? Wc knew that old pecple get up early; hut it is shard? because they can't !eep. Moderate old age does not require much ilecp; hence, in the aged, early ruing l a necessity or con venience, and is not a cause of health in itself. f There is a large class of early risers, very earlr risers, v;ho may bo tru- ly sata not tohave a day s health in a year the thirsty fulfc, f r example, who drink liquor until uiiduixht and maearlv to cci more i Ur.e of our earliest recol lections is that of ':od soakers" iaaLio" their 'devious way" to the grog-shops or the tavern bar-rcom before sunrise, for their morning grog. Karly rising, to be beneficial, must have two concomitants, viz: to retire eariy, and on rising to be properly employed. One of the most eminent divines o'f this ronticent rose by daylight for many years, and at the end of that time became an invalid traveled the world over for health, but has never regained if,sor ever will. . It is rather the early retiring ttat does the good, by keeping the teop!e out of those n;ichi5vQua practices which dark ness favors, and which need not hero be particularly referred to. .-. Another important advantage of retir ing early is, that the intense stillness of midnight and the early morning hours fa vor that unbroken repose which is the all powerful renovator of . the tired system. Without, then, the accompaniment :of retiring early, " early, rising " is worse than useless, and is positively mischiev ous. Every person should be allowed "to have his sleep out.! . i Otherwise the duties of the day cannot be properly per formed, and will be .necessarily slighted, even by the most conscientious. 4 To all young persons, to students, to the sedentary and to invalids, the fullest sleep that the system ?will take, without artificial means, is the balm of life; with out it there can be. no restoration of health and activity again. Never wake up the sick or infirm, or young children, of a morning it is a barbarity; let them wako of; themselves; let the care rather be to establish an hour of retiring so ear ly that their; fullest sleep may bo out 'be fore sunrise. ; " ! -; , Another item of very great importance is: Do not hurry up the young and weakly. It is no advantage to pull them out of bed as soon as their eyes are open; nor is it best, for the studious, or. even for the well, who have passed an unusu ally fatiguing day previously, to jump out of bed the moment they wake up. , Let them remain, without going to sleep again, until tho sense of weariness passes from their limbs. Nature abhors two things violence ' 'and vaeuum. 1 Tho sun does not break-out at -once - into the glare of the meridian,. The diurnal flow ers unfold themselves by slow degrees ; nor fleetest .beast, nor sprightlicst bird, leaps at onco from, its resting place, j By all of. which we mean to sayt that, as no physiological truth is more demonstrable than, that the brain, and with it the whole nervous system, is recuperated by sleep, it' is therefore of the first, importance, as to the well being of the human system, that it have its fullest measure of it j arid to that end, the habit f of retiring to bed early should be made imperative on all children, and no ordinary event should be allowed to interfere with it. . Its mor al healthfulness is not less important than its 'physical; Hariy a young man, many a youog woman, has made the , firs step towards degradation and crime and dis ease, after ten o'clock at nigh t ; at which hour, the year round, the old, the middle aged, and the young, should be in , bed; and then the early rising will take care of itself, with the incalculable accompa niment of a fully-rested body and a reno vated brain.

IIOJIAXTIC III8TOKY OF ONE , OF TOU. BEXTOX'S DAUGHTERS. Lct me tell you something about one of the achool teachers of San Francisco, by way of illustrating the manner in which fortune frolics with human nature and makes shuttlecocks of poor humanity. Among the teachers is an elderly lady the mother of five interesting children. She was born in one of the Western States, and was the first horn of one of the most distinguished Senators whoever sat in the legislative halls of the United ' States one who for more than twenty years represented one of the gTeat States of the mighty West, and who was tho peer of Clay, Calhoun and Webster. In her young days she was the belle of Wash- ington City, carrying away the palm from the dark-eyed daughters of the South, and, the rosy-cheeked damsels of the aorth. AH were anxious to receive a smile from the fair lily of the Wcst;: No blemen," representing their country at Washington, laid their coronets at her eet in vain. She was a true llepubhcan. and gave her lo?e to a youog gentleman then a clerk in one of the offices at Washington. Her father knew the youth and recognized his creat abilities, and when he solicited the daughter's hand it was cheerfully given. Th3 wedding was a brilliant one, many of the great men of the country being present to wish them oy and cheer them at the commencement of tjicir domestic voyage. The young husband was shortly afterward admitted to the bar of the United States Supreme ;ourt, and soon recognized as one of the most promising members. For a number of years he practiced his profession with great sua ess, and was on the high road to wealth-and fame. Then came an event n the history of our country which al- tered the courses of many. I refer to the discovery of gold in California, and he consequent rush of emigrants to the , new Eldorado. Among those who deter-, mined upon going to California was the husband. He consulted with his wife, and he, like a true woman declared her in-' tention of accompanying him. He ehow- d her the hardships which she must necessarily endure, and urged upon her to remain with her parents until he had made a home for her, but she, in the lan guage of Uuth. said : "Entreat me cot to- cave thee, or to return from following after thee, for whither thou goest I will go, and where thoa lodgest I will lodjre : thy people shall be my p:ople, and thy ' Go-J my God ; where thou dicst will I die, and there will I be buried." He urged her once more to stay, bnt together they came to California, where the husband soon took a leading position at the barr and amassed a fortune. The people be associated with were from the South, and, like many others, he began to drink to excess. When the rebellion broke out he cast his sympathies with the South. His brother-in-law went with the North and became a Major Gen- . eral. Ho had to give up the practice of . his profession because he could not take the oath required by our legislature. Out of business, he drank heavily and soon began to mortgage his property. Sir years passed away, and he died, leaving bis widow with one child, without a do)-' lar, for hia creditors had foreclosed, even to the homestead. The noble woman im mediately took in sewing to earn her liv ing, but found that she could hardly keep -. soul and body together by that means. Some friends of her father and husband offered to aid and assist her, but she would receive nothing so long as she could help- -herself. "She, however, would be thank ful for assistance in procuring her a posi tion as teacher in one of the public schools. Application was made, and would you believe it? some of tho "Republican" directors opposed her appointment be- -cause her dead husband was a secession- . ist. They cared not that her father was , ; the peer of Clay and Webster ; that her brother-in-law wore the shoulder straps of a Major General. They knew her husband in his life time, and had felt the lash of his bitter tongue, and therefore desired to harm his widow. Their efforts, however, were unavailing." She wss ap pointed, and is now engaged in the pub lic school department of this city, teach- ; ing a primary class. , A sad change in the fortunes of one who started in life with such brilliant prospects. She is a truo and noble woman, however, and every one who reads this paragraph will praise her heroism and devotion.
