Remarkable Works Of Human

Ninevah was fifteen miles long, eight
wide and forty miles around, with q wall
one hundred feet high, and thick enough
for three chariots abreast. Babylon was
fifty miles within the walls, which were
seventy five feet thick, and four hundred
feet high, with one hundred brazen gates.-
The temple OF Diana, at Ephesus, was four
hundred and twenty feet to the support OF
the roof. 1t was q hundred years in build
ing. The largest of the pyramids is four
hundred and eighty one feet high, and six
hundred and tilty.three on the sides; its
base covers eleven scres. The stones are
about thirty feet in length, and the layers
are three hundred and eighty. 1t employed
three hundred and thirty thousand men in
building. The labarynth in Egypt contains
three hundred chambers and two hundred
and fifty halls. Thebes, in Egypt, presents
ruins twenty.seven miles around. Athens
was twenty-five miles around and contained
three hundred and fifty thousand citizens,
and four hundred thousand slaves. The
temple of Delphos was so rich in donations
that it was plundered OF five hundred thou
sand dollars, and Nero carried away from
| il two hundred statues. The walls Of Rome
| were thirteen miles in extent!

The " Try Company"

A gentleman who was riding In the cars
noticed a bright little fellow, between FIVE
and six years of age, sitting with his father
and mother, and engaged in the attempt to
unloosen the knot in fstring that bound
small parcel. The knot had become well
compacted, and the child's tiny fingers seem.
ed to make no impression thereon. The
patient earnestness Of the boy was con-
trasted with the apparent Indifference of his
parents who looked on, but made no attempt
to assist him. At last the gentleman,
whose sympathies with children were warm,
could bear the sight no longer so, partly
to help the child, and partly to rebuke the
parents, he took out his knife, and handing
it to the boy, said,
"EIere, my little fellow, try the virtue Of
q sharp blade. You can't unite the knot -
Something to his surprise, the knife was
not taken ; but, instead, the child answered
J with smile.
"Please, sir, Father don't allow me to say
/ can't. belong to the Try COMPANY"
"Indeed !" said the gentleman, drawing
buck his hand. al never heard of that
company BEFORE"
"Ob, I've always belonged to it. Haven

And the child turned with an expression
of loving confidence in his f1ce, towards hi;
father.
"He's worthy member Of that excellen
association, SIR" remarked the father, nov
speaking to the gentleman, and smiling in
pleasing way.
"Ah! l understand you! !" Light wa

little boy to say can't"
"But, instead, r'll try, SIR"
"Excellent," said the gentleman. "Ex

There is nothing short of revelation that
more beautifully or satisfactorily proves the
existence OF an Almighty mind than the
fewness and implicitly Of the ultimate ele.
ments of animal and vegetable life. Thus,
there are but four elementary principles
essentially necessary, and but six generally
employed, to form every variety of organic
life nitrogen, carbon. oxygen, and hydrogen
are the bases, to which sulphur and phos'
phorus may be considered supplementary.
With these, infinitely varied in their atomic
proportions, are built up not only the whole
animal kingdom, but also every variety o
the vegetable wOrld--frori wheat, the "sta {

4" Neck Twisting"

There are practices tolerated In religious
congregations, which Christians, who are
lea lous for the honor OF their Masters house,
should utterly condemn. DscOrum is the
handmaid OF devotional feeling, and for this
reason the house OF God should never be dis.
turbed by the slightest approach to irrever-
ence. alt is 0 part OF my religion" said q
pious lady, when asked why she went early
to church, "not to interrupt the religion Of
other" And we believe if many country
congregation made it part of their religion
not to twist their necks almost out Of joint
to witness the entrance of every person who
passes up the aisle Of the meeting house, 1t
would be better for their necks and their re-.
ligion. A gross abuse of religious decorum
sometimes needs harsh medicine as rene.
dy. We do not know whether it would be
proper for some of our good ministering
brethren, who are sorely tried by the neck
twisting propensities of their congregations,
to use that adopted by Henry Clay Dean,
who was at one time chaplain of Congress
but we give it for their consideration, OF
course, to adOp, or reject as they please

ing practice in his congregation, Mr.. Dean
stopped in his sermon and said
SHOW, you listen to me, and I'll tell you
who the people are, as each one of them
comes in"
He then went on with his discourse, until
a gentleman entered, when he bawled out
like an usher, deacon A., who keeps the
shop over the wsy," and then went on with
his sermon.
Presently another man passed up the aisle
and he gave his name, residence and occu'
patton. So he continued for some time.
At length some one entered the door who
was unknown to Mr.. Dean, when he criet
out, "A little old man, with drab coat and
an old white hat don't know him-look fol
yourselves"
That congregation was cured.

SuggcstivcmESS of Nature.

In the cool evenings Of autumn the katy
did's melancholy song reverberates from
every tree in our orchards and forests, and
its rever-ceasing complaint, that katy did,
has not only suggested thousand pleasant
recolectons, but has often occasioned many
curious and poetical conjectures as to it's
origin and significance. Iuse the word sig
nifcance in it's most extended sense, for |
know nothing in nature that is Insignificant.
Every voice, every sound, each wnrbling
note that echoes in the empty air, and
every act Of animated nature, has some deep,
often mysterious, meaning. To the thought.
full mind all convey some important moral
lesson, either in the garb and soul Of poet
ical association, or by the stronger and more
irresistible force of example. The busy
bee, that improves each shining hour, cannot
fail of favoraby impreesing us with the con-
tentment and the sure success that follows
patient and persevering industry. The sl-
my and venomous reptiles excite our disgust
and abhorrence, and unconsciously teach US
how to regard their groVelling similitudes.
The ever constant and faithful dog that
bears us company is ever silently but surely
impressing upon US the great lesson Of fdel.

hand lust raised to shed its blood" shows US

AnecdOte of Burns.

There is a well.known story of Burns
being betrayed one day into rough express
sion regarding an argumentaive clergyman,
who had challenged the merits of GrGy's
Ele9y. We shall here relate it, with the
addition of place and names, and the still
more valuable adjunct of a trait of Burns
reverence towards infancy. 1t was at the
house Of Mr.. Christison, one of the teachers
Of the High School, that the incident took
place, the occasion being private break.
fast.party. Mrs. Christison sat at the head
81 the table with her infant on her knee;
and Burns was placed beside her. The Rev.
Mr.. Robb, minister of Tongland, one of the
guests, entered upon wrangling hypercrit-
ical canvass of the merits of the famed
Eleey. Burns defended Gray. but could
not silence his paradoxical opponent, who
further bored him with very incorrect quo.
tations from the poem. Losing patience at
last, Burns exclaimed: "Sr, l now per.
ceiye that man may be an excellent judge
of poetry by square and rule, and after all
be a id blockhead I" There was instant
silence, and an unpleasant state of feeling.
Burns, however, at once relieved the COM
pany, and particularly the lady Of the house,
by turning to her infant and saying: ~
beg your pardon, my little DEAR" This
concession to the sanc,ity of infancy, while
making none to conceit and dogmatsm, was
often adverted to by Mrs. Christison after
wards, as remarkable trait Of Burns
