CHINA. Is it not remarkable, says the Savannah
Republican, that China, with well defined nation
aity of four thousand years. and population for
thousand years denser according its area than that
of France Britain, has had cause to complain
Of the misery distress of the peope9 Virtually,
she has no paupers-no poor Her infrm or misfor-
tunates have been generally provided fol. by the
State while her have been, and are the hap
piest and most Independent people on earth. The
reason this lies in the habits and industry and love
ofspeace of the Chinese. They till the earth in every
available spot; they drain the marshes, and earth
over waste places; they turn all the riches of the
earth To the most practical account; and living peace
fully and simply, they have comfort and plenty. No
people earth live so completely within their own
means. They have never sought the trade of any
country never sent an embassy or representative to
any country; never have interfered with any coun-
try; bot, minding their own business, have grown
rich and been wise, when more boasting nations were
stepped in poverty land ignorance. Surely. the na-
tons and people Of Europe and the western hemis-
Phere have yet to learn the art of true living and
we'll governing. of the very people to whom they are
sending missionaries. We apprehend the Chinese
are neither pagans nor barbarians.

E.e,,.u I,AseuAeE UNIVERSAL. There are three
events in the history of the world which Will pear
comparison with this rapid extension OF the Engiisn
race. The frst-and this has always appeared to us
to be the most striking occurrence in hstory-ls the
marvellous manner in which handful OF Greeks, un.
der Alexander and his successors. overran and held
for long period the whole of the East. The wonder
is increased when consider the difficulty OF main
tanning communications in that part OF the world:
Thew in a great measure, changed the language and
IDEAS of the East The Gospel was written in Greek
and the laws of Moses, the writings OF the Hebrew
prophes were translated into Greek on the banks OF
the Nile. Greek kingdom was even able to maln-
tain itself for long period of time on the very con-
trian coinage are even TO this day abundant in that
part of the world. All this however, passed away
and has not left any very obvious traces on the pres
ent state of things The second event was the estab-
lishment Of the Roman empire. Strongly as we are
disposed to maintain that general view of human
affairs every thing happens for the best, yet We may
say to the Roman empire that was in many respects
a giant evil. No of great original genius ever
spoke the Roman language-in the sense In which
MANY Greeks, and amongst ourselves Bacon, Shaks-
peare, and Newton, were men OF original genius;
There was time when there were men of spirit and
ability in every Greek city; there was time when
the Roman empire goverend the world, and there was
not one great man from Britain to the Euphrates
Having fulfilled its destiny-which seems to have
been the introduction into the Western World of the
on its part for it nothing but military depotism
it pershed as it deserved, and its language is now
nowhere spoken.
The third event was the Eruption of the Barbarians
That higher civilization followed this, every body
knows but how many centuries did it take to civize
the Barbarians?
Now these, the three great events Of past history,
are all dwarfed very much when compared with what
we now doing. We are sending out every year,
literally hundreds of thousands of civilized men to
people two continents in opposite hemispheres, and
on opposite sides of the globe. In North America
there already twenty millions of our race. This
population doubles every twenty-five years. Aus
tralia will inevitably become Z" the Queen of the
South Now that literature has given permanency
to language, other tongue than ours will ever be
spoken upon these continents. We can see NO limit
to the spread of laws, literature, and language.
Greek and Roman greatness are really, in compare
son, nothing to this. And, compared with the mill
ions of civilized men which We have sent and are
sending to occupy so large portion of the earhs'
surface, how Insignificant becomes the irruption of
savage halfsavage hordes into Italy, France,
Spain, and England. English paper.

SENSE AND SENSATION. The greyhound runs by
the eyesight only, and this we observe as fact The
carier-pigeon flies his two hundred and fifty miles
homeward by eyesight, viz from point to point OF
objects which he has marked-but this is only our
conjecture. The fierce dragon fly, with twelve thou
sand lenses in his eyes, darts from angle to angle
with the rapidity of flashing sword, and rapidly
darts back-not turning in the air, but with clash
reversing the action of his four wings-the only
known creature that possesses this faculty. His sight
then, both forward and backwards, must be propor-
iionately rapid with his wings, and instantaneously
calculating the distance of objects, he would dash
himself to pieces But in what conformation of his
eye does this consist! No one can answer. A cloud
OF thousand gnats dance up and down in the sum-
the gnas being close together that you
see the minutest interval between them, yet one
knocks another headlong upon the grass or breaks
leg or a wing, long and delicate as these Sud-
denly amidst your admiration of this matchless dance,
apecuarly high shouldered, vicious gnat, with long,
pale pendant nose darts out of the rising and falling
sting. What possesses the little wretch do this
Did he smell your blood in the mazy dance No one
knows. A four horse coach comes suddenly upon
flock of geese a narrow road, and drives straight
through the middle of them. A goose was never yet
fairly run over, duck. They under the very
wheels and hoofs, and yet, somehow, they contrive
to flap and waddle safely off. Habitually stupid,
heavy and ndolent they are, nevertheless. equal to
any emergency. Why does the lonely woodpecker,
when he descends his tree and goes to drink stop
vera times his way listen and look around, before
he takes his draught! No one knows. How is it
that the species Of ant, which, taken in battle by
other ants be made slaves, should be the black or
negro ant! No one knows. The Poor .artist.
