A day was appointed for starting.--i
The young and old from far and near,
from love to father Smiley, and their
deepest interest in the object of his
mission, gathered together, and with
their pastor at their heao, came down
from the church, fifteen miles, away to
the bank Of the river, to bid the old man
farewell. Then prayer was offered.
by their pastor. A parting hymn was
sung. "There," said the old Scotch
man, 6 unite the cable, and let US see
what the Lord will do for u.s." This
was done and the boat foated slowly
away. S ~. ,..tD =. sat9yaf Z.
More than nine months passed, and
no word came back from father Smi-
ley. Many a prayer had been breathed
for him, but what had been his fate was
unknown. Another Sabbath came
The people came together for worship,
and there on his rude bench before the
preacher, composed and devout, sat ia
ther Smiley. After the services the
people were requested to meet early
in the week to hear the report. All
came again. After, thanks had been
rendered to God for his safe return, ia
ther Smiley arose and told his story /;
that the Lord had prosperedhis mission;
that he had sold his -four for twenty
seven dollars per barrel, and then got
safely back. He then drew a large
purse, and poured upon the table a lar
ger pile Of gold than most Of the spec
tators hadeyer seen before. The young
men were paid each hundred dollars,
Father Smiley was asked his charges.
He meekly replied that he thought he
ought to have the same as one of the
young men, though he had not done
quite as much work. 1t was immedi
ateIy proposed to pay him three hun.
dred dollars. This he refused to re,
ceive till the pastor was paid. Upon
counting the money, there was found
enough to pay what was due Mr.. S. tic
advance him his salary for the year te
come--to reward father Smiley with
three hundred dollars, and then 10 leave
large dividend for each contribution.
Thus their debts were paid, their pas.
tor relieved, and while life lasted, HI
broke for them the bread of life. The
bones Of both pastor and the elder,
believe, have long reposed in the sam'
church yard, but a grateful ,posterity
still tells this pleasing story of the past

THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA.

This stupendous wall, which extends
across the northern boundary of the
Chinese empire, is deservedly ranked
among the grandest labours Of art. 1t
is conducted over the SUBMITS of high
mountains, several Of which have an
elevation of not less than 1925 feet,
(nearly mile) across deep vallies, and
over wide rivers, by means of arches.
In many places it is doubled and treb-
bled, to command important passes ;and
at the distance of nearly every hund-
red yards is. tower or massive bas.
ton. Its extent is computed at 1900
miles; but in some parts, where less
danger is apprehended, it is not equally
strong or complete, or towards the
northwest, consists merely of a strong
rampant of earth. Near Koopekon it
is twenty-five feet in height. and at the
top about fifteen feet thick, some of the
towers which are square, are forty
eight feet high, and about forty feet In
width. The stone employed in the
foundations, angles, &C., is strong
grey granite; but the materials for the
greater part consist Of blush bricks,and
the mortar is remarkably pure and
white.
The aera Of the construction of this
great barrier, which has been and will
continue to be the wonder and admira-
ton ofages, is considered by Sir George
Staunton as having been absolutely as
certained, and he asserts that it has ex-
isted for two thousand years. In this
assertion he appears to have followed
Du Halce, who informs US, that 'sthis
prodigious work was constructed two
hundred and fifteen years before the
birth Of Christ, by order Of the first
Emperor of the family of Tsin, to pro-
tect their large provinces from the er-
uptions Of the Tartars." However,in
the history Of China, contained in his
first volume, he ascribes this erection
to the second Emperor Of the dynasty
Of Tsin, named Chi Hoang Ii; and the
date Immediately preceding the nara
tive Of this construction is the year l49
before the birth Of Christ. Hence as
suspicious may arise not only concer-
ming the epoch when this work was
undertaken, but also relatively to the
purity and precision of the Chinese an
nails in general. Mr.. Bell, who resided
some timein China, and whose travels
are deservedly esteemed torthe acura-
cy Of eirmfoimation, assures us that
this wall was built somewhere about
the year li6o, by one Of the Emperors,
to prevent the frequent incursions Of
