ALL BY CONTRARIES.

The Chinese are queer people, fol
they not only stand TO the under side of the
earth with their feet upwards and their

contrary 10 ours. Here are some speci-
mems:
"To an European or an American, jus,
landed in China, every thing appears
strange. lie finds himself not only at the
antipodes, physically speaking, but at the
antipodes in moral sense. He sees o.
round him countless myriads Of men in a
strange garb, and with general appear
ance unlike to all Tint to which he has
heretofore been accustomed. He observes
the most studied uniformity among the va

thing which falls under his observation, so
slow and so UNMARRIED, strikes him in singu-
lar contrast with cur own changing man.

things admonish him that he is 10 strange

gangs, he observes innumerable boats Gu

Of Chinese; carts moved on land by sails,
as well as boats on the water. If the pilot

TIE GERMAN REFoRM.-In Heidelberg,
a rescript OF the Minister of the Home
Department has been issued, forbidding
Ronge to perform ecclesiastical services, or
10 deliver any public address. Yet the
people are in favor Of it. A festival was
recently held in Heidelberg. a, the place
Of Prince Max, out of respect 10 Ronge, at
which more than 400 persons attended,
Ronge was joined there by PauIus and
Winters; ard the priest Dowiat and Jerome
Reuchler, who had appeared for the Ger
man Catholics, gave the meeting an ac-
count Of the proceedings taken by the po-
lice, and led cheer for Ronge, which was
given with great zeal.
The same course was pursued towards
Ronge by the authorities OF Mannheim.
In the Electroatc Of Hesse, i, has been
decided that such sect cannot be tolerated
or recognized, and that it cannot receive the
assistance ofthe evangelical clergy; but
that their devotions must be confined to
their own families.
In Saxony, on the contrary, after much
difficulty, the new church has been formal
y recognized, and ithas been decree1 that
the use Of churches may be allowed them,
except the ringing Of bells, if the doctrines
preached do not initiate against the consii
tuition of the State.

THE SONG OF STEAM.
BY C. w. coTTER.

Harness me down with your iron bands
Be sure of your curb and rein,
For scorn the strength of your puny hands,
As the tempest scorns a chain.
How laughed as l lay concealedrom sight
For many countless hour,
AT the childish boast of human might,
And the pride OF human power.
When saw an army upon the land.
A navy upon the seas,
Creeping along, snail-like band,
Or waiting the wayward breeze;
When marked the peasant family reel
With the toll which he daily bore,
As he feebly turned the tardy wheel,
Or tugged the weary oar.
When measured the painting coarsers speed,
The flight of the courier dove,
AS they bore the law Of King decreed,
Or the lines of impatient love;
I could not but think now the world would feel
As these were outstripped aar
When l should be bound to the rushing keel,
Or chained to the flying car.
Hal ha! hal they found me out at last,
They invitedme forth at length,
And | rushed to my throne with thunder blast,
And laughed in my iron strength.
O.! then We saw wondrous change
On the earth and ocean wide,
Where now my fiery armies range,
Nor wait for wind or tide.
Hurrah! hurrah! the waters DER
The mountains steep decline,
Time-space, have yielded to my power
The world the world is mrel
The rivers, the sun hath earliest blest,
Or those where his beams decline;
The giants reamls of the queenly West,
Or the orient floods divine.
The ocean pales whene'er sweep,
To hear my strength rejoice;
And the monsters of the briny deep
Cover, trembling at my voice.
carry the wealth and the lord of earth,
The thoughts of his god like mind,
The wind lags after my flying forth,
The lightning is left behind.
In the darksome depth of the fathomless mine,
My tireless arm doth play.
Where the rocks never saw the sun decline,
Or the dawn of glorious day.

From the hidden cave below,
And | make the fountain s granite cup
With crystal gush o'erdow.

No bones to be .'aid on the SHELF

But harness me down with your iron bands,

HOUSES OF UNBURNT BRICK.-We have
method Of building good cheap houses
here Of unburnt brick, Of which l do not

The plan is as follows:
First, find out some strong, adhesive
clay-the stronger The be,ter-lhrow up
a quantity of i, and mix plenty of straw
or sedge grass, cut about six lnchesalopg.
Put in sufficient water 10 make a strong
mortar, and tread with oxen or horses to
consistency TO be made into brick. Mould
them 10 any size you choose, from inch
by TO the size Of common brick; they arc
generally moulded here as long as the wall
is thick-say Is inches by 8. and 6 inches
thick. After being dried in the sun, like
other brick, they are ready for building.
and can be pat up with either clay or
mortar, or lime mortar, as is convenient.
Lime Is Of course the best. They should

ton, IL inches from the ground, and the

above The roof. The p aster is pu, on tho
wall without lalhing, both inside and out

or six nails are driven into each brick TO
within hllf an inch Of the head, they will
prevent the rough cas-, from fallingxof,
but it will stick close enough 10 the wall
on the inside without. A frame is fitted
on the wall where floors are wanied for the
joisis TO fit into, if for good houses, but il
for a cheap kind, simple two inch plank are
laid on the wall, and the joists laid on
them for the floor.
These houses are al once cheap and du-
rable, being very warm in winter and cool
in summer, and always free from damp -
Being generally froslproof, Towering plants
can be kept in them in The winter with tho
greatest case. A friend OF mine, a few
