DOMESTIC FAULrs - A writer thus
speaks Of the fatal influence of small
faults on the peace Of the household:
I" Homes are more often darkcned by
the continual occurrences of small faults,
than by the actual presence Of any decid-
cd vice. These evils are apparently Of
very dissimilar magnitudc;yet it is easier
to grapple with one than the other
The Eastern traveller can combine his
forces and hunt down the tiger that
prowls upon his path; but it is scarcely
possible for him to escape the mosquitoes,
that infest the air he breathes, or the
fleas that swarm in the sand he treads.-
The drunkard has been known to re-
nounce his darling vice, the slave to dress
and extravaganza, her besetting sin; but
the waspish temper, the irritating tone,
rude dogmstic matter, and the hundred
nameless nogligonccs that spoil the
beauty of association, have rarely done
other than proceed till the action Of dis.
gust and gradual alienation has turned all
the currents Of affection from their course
leaving nothing but barren track, over
which the mere skeleton Of the compan
ionsnip stalks slonc."

THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA.
The most stupendous work of this
country is the great wall that divides it
from Northern Tartary. 1t is built .x-
actly upon the same same plan as the
wall Of Pekin, being a mound of earth
cased on each side with brick or stone
The astonishing magnitude Of the fabric
consists not so much in the plan Of the
work ~ in the immense distance of fif-
teen hundred miles over which it is ex-
tended, over mountains Of two or three
thousand feet in height, across deep
valleys aud rivers. The materials of all
the dwelling houses Of England and
Scotland, supposing them to amount to
one million eight hundred thousand, are
barely equivalent to the bulk or solid
contents Of the great wall of China
Nor are the projecting massy towers OF
stone aud brick included in the caleuls-
tion. These alone, supposing them to
continue throughout bow shot distance
were calculated to contain as much ina
sonry and brick work as oil London. To
give another idea Of the mass Of matter
IN this stupenduous fabric, it may be OBJ
served that it is moro than sufficient to
surround the circumference Of the earth
on two of its great circles with two walls
each six feet high and two feet thick
1t is to be understood, however, that in
this calculation is included the earthly
part in the middle Of the wall.-BarrOws

ny HORACE SMITH.
Ye who would ssre your features forid,
1.-the limbs, bright eyes, unwrinkled forehead,
From ages devastation horrid,
Adopt this plan
Twill make, in climate cold or torrid.
A hale old man.
Avoid in youth, luxurious diet,
Restrain the passions lawless riot;
Devoted TO domestic quiet,
BE wisely gay;
So shall ye, spite Of age fiat,
Resist decay.
Seek not in Mammon's worship pleasure,
But fnd your richest, dearest treasure,
In books, friends, music, polished leisure,
The mind, not sense,
Made the sole scalc by which ye measure
Your opuence.
This Is the solace, this the science,
iife's purest, sweetest, best appliance,
That disappoints mans reliance,
Whate'er his state;
But challenges, with calm defiance,
Time. fortune, fate.

we did not hear him, but the sentiment is

what we have heard Of the speech, it was
unqualifiedly for the prosecution of the war
for the Union, until the rebellion is crushed
and the authority ofthe Federal Government
reestablished throughout the confederacy.
There was no distinctive party politics in it.,
at which any Union man could object. As
an oratorical effort, it was, as al of Mr..
Wilson's efforts are, of the highest order of
merit. It is subject of regret that we are
unable to give more satisfactory account of
