The "SRvsN WONDERS. "-The sew
en- great works which so excited
the admiration of the ancients that they
called them "wonders Of the world''
were as follows:
1. The Egyptian Pyramids. The
largest Of these is 693 feet square, and
400 feet high, and its base covers II
IA acres Of ground.
2. The Mausoleum, erected to Maui
solus, king of Caria, by his widow,
Artemisia. 1t was 63 feet long, and
IS feet high.
8. The Temple Of Diana at Ephes.
us. This was 425 feet in length, and
22O feet in breadth.
4. The walls and Hanging Gardens
of Babylon. These walls are stated,
by Herodotus, to have been 81 feet
thick, $50 feet high, and so miles in
length; and this statement is deemed
credible by modern antiquarians.
S. The COLOSSUS of Rhodes. This
was brazen statue of Apollo, 105 feet
high, standing at the mouth of the har-
Dor of Rhodes.
6. The Statue of Jupiter Olympus,
at Athens, which was made of ivory
and gold, and was wonderful for its
beauty rather than for its size.
Z. The Phsros of Ptolemy Philadel-
plus. This was lighthouse 500 feet
high, on the island Of Pharos at Alex
ardria, in Egypt. A FIRE Of wood was
kept burning on its summit during the
night, to guide the ships to the harbor.

Like most others of his party, Judge

general idea that its followers were the

ings, he was wilfully ignorant. He
left Maple Glen the following day, and
Maude saw no more of him. It may
have been an accident, but some weeks
after, he was actually surprised by
reading q Republican paper. What
the results we're, can only DO surmised
from the, short correspondence that
took place between our hero and hero
inc, some months later. It ran thus !:
DEAR MAuDE :-One Of the best Repub-
licans you ever knew, wishes to see you.
May comet CoxProS.
! DEAR JuDaR Come.
| MAuDE.
There was q merry wedding at Maple
Glen before Autumn had dotted her
robes Of scarlet and gold, and the fair
face, that the misty folds Of the bridal
veil enveloped, was none other than
Maude.
Judge Compton stumps this State
for Lincoln and Hamlin this fall, and
rumor says that Msude will be Sem
ator's lady before many years are
passed. Reader, if you are Dems-
crat, 20 and do likewise.
