Wonderful Calculation.

A writer thus undertakes 70 convey
someidea of the greatness OF tho pop
ulation of China:
"The mind can not grasp the real
import Of SO vast n number. -Four
hundred laiiEons What does ii
mean Count it. Night and day,
without rest, or food, or sleep, you
continue the weary work; yet eleven
days has passed before you have count
ed the first million, and more than as
many years before the end of the todi-
GUS task can be reached"
He also supposes this mighty null
titude TO take up its line of march, in
u grand procession, placed in single
file at six feet apart, and marching at
the rate Of thirty miles per day, except
on the Sabbath, which is given to
rest
DAY after day the moving column
advances, the head pushing on far to-
ward the rising sun, now bridges the
Pacific, now bridges the Atlantic
And now the Pacific is crossed, but
still the long procession marches on,
stretching across high mountains, and
sunny plains, and broad rivers, through
China and India, and the European
kingdoms, and on again over the stor-
my bosom of the Atlantic But the
circuit Of the world itself affords not
standing room. The endless column
will double upon itself, and double
again and again, and shall girdle the
earth eighteen times before the great
reservoir which furnishes these num-
berless multitudes is exhausted.
Weeks, months, and years roll away,
and still they come men, women, and
children. Since the march began the
little child has become a man, and yet
on they come, in unfailing numbers.
Not till the end Of forty-one years will
the last of the long procession have
passed"
Such is China in its population; and
if Homer could preach eloquently on
the vanity of man as mortal, with
equal eloquence, had he seen or con
templated the millions of China, could
he have preached on the vanity of man
as an individual?

Adventure on the Mississippi.

Eyerybody-at least everybody with
Il memory twenty years old-has
heard of Banvard's great picture Of
the AIississippii but a certain amusing
adventure of his while engaged in the
preparation of his work is not so gem
orally known, and unless it should be
so unfortunate-like many another
good story as to be married in the
telling, we venture to predict in its
favor the verdict it deseryes-a hearty
laugh.
Among other plans to which the ar
list resorted TO raise money wherewith
to prosecute his design, was the fitting
up of hatboat as museum of paint
ings, which he foated from town to
town, exhibiting his collection as he
went. He stopped, positively for
one night only ut the town of Com
merce, AIississippi-the same, we be-
lieve, at which the Indiana missionary
expatiated on the "Harp Of thousand
Strings from the head Of cask Of
spirits, which he proceeded to re-
tail to the audience ut the close OF the
exercises, IN quantities TO suit purchas-
ers.
As the exhibition was about to be-
gin, MIR. Barnard WAS accosted by n
consequential-looking individual OF
that Enthusiastically Podsnappish type,
whose word, within n more on less linn
tied circle, passes for law, and from
whose decisions there is no appeal.

bition was not within the limits Of the

sumed, was entirely sufficient

that he is dishonest, but he considers
himself sort of pensioner on the

AnecdOte of DR.. Mott.


On an evening preceding Thanks
giving many years ago, two students
left the college with the most fowl in
tent of procuring some of the Doctors
fine fat chickens, that roasted in a tree
adjoining the house When they ar
rived at the spot, one asconded the
tree, while tie other stood with the
bag ready to receive the plumber It
so happened that the Doctor himself
had Just loft the house, with view OF
securing the same chickens for his
Thanksgiving dinner. The rogue I'M
der the tree hearing some one APP
preaching, Immediately crept away,
without notifying his companion
among the branches. The Doctor
came mp silently, and was Immediately
saluted from above as follows:
Are you ready p
yes, responded the Doctor, dis
sembling his voice as much as posi-
bic.
Tho other Immediately laying his
hands on the old rooster, exclaimed.
'Heres old Prex, will you have
him ?"
Pass him along" was the reply,
and he was soon in tho Doctors bag
Here's marin Prex,' said the all
unconscious student, grabbing fine
old hen, will you have her?'
Yes, " again responded the Doctor.
Here's son John, VIII you have him
Here's daughter Sal, take her p and so
on until he had gone regularly through
with the Doctors family and chickens
The old man walking off in one di-
rection with the plumber, the student
satisfied with his nights work, came
down and streaked it for the college
Great was his establishment to learn of
his companion that he had not got any
chickens, and that if he gave them to
any one it must have been DIR. Mott
Expulsion, fines, and disgrace were
uppermost in their thoughts until the
next forenoon, when both received n
polite invitation from the President,
requesting their company to Thanks
giving dinner. TO decline was inn
possible, so with hearts full of anxiety
for the result, they wendell their way
to the house, where they were pleas
antly received by the old gentleman,
and with large party soon seated
around the festive board After ask
ing n blessing, the Doctor rose from
his seat, and taking the carving knife,
turned with smile to the rogues and
said:
"Young gentlemen, here's old Prex,
son John, and daughter Sal, at the
same time touching successfully the
respective chickens; ito which will you
be helped % The modification of the
students may be imagined.

Effects OF the less Of Sleep.

There IS no fact more clearly estab-
lished in the physiology Of man than
this, that the brain expends its ener-
gies itself during the hours Of wakeful-
ness, and that those are rccuperated
during sleep. If the recuperation
does not equal the expenditure, the
brain withers this is called insanity
Thus it is that, according to English
history, persons who were condemned
to death. by being prevented from
sleeping, always died raying maniacs
Thus it is, also, that those who starved
to death become insane-the brain is
not nourished, and they cannot sleep.
The practical differences are these:
/. Those who think most-who do
most brain-work--require most sleep.
2. Time saved from necessary sleep,
is infalhbly destructive to mind, body,
and estate.
4. Give yourself, your children,
your seyants-give all that are under
you--the fullest amount of sleep they
will take, by compelling them to go to
bed at some regular early hour, and to
rise the moment they awake, and,
within fortnight, Nature, with almost
the regularity Of the rising sun, will
unloose the bands of sleep the moment
enough repose has been secured for
the wants of the system.
This is the only safe and sufficient
rule; and as 20 the question how much
sleep any one requires, each must be a
rule for himself, great Nature will
never fail TO write it out to the obser-
yer under the regulations just given

ANcFNT MASONIC While
digging in various parts Of England for
the purpose of securing foundations
for new edilices, many ancient me-
MORALS have from time to time been
brought to light, which seem to afford
some evidence of the antiquity of Ma
sonry, inasmuch as they have been of
u character known and understood as
appertaining to that ancient craft, and
cannot properly be appropriated by
others than operative Masons. They
are at least of interest January 18th,
l7l2, in a plowed field in the parish of
Stunsford, near Woo1ford, Oxford
shire, was found an entire tesselated
pavement of thirty-fve feet in length
and twenty in breadth, formed Of little
square stones of the size of dice of va
rious colors, and disposed in regular
order. 1t appeared to have been con-
structed upwards of 400 years. Au-
gust 18th, 1888. a Roman pavement of
mosaic work was discovered in Dig
ging for q foundation in Bishopsgate
street, which must have been executed
considerably more than 100 years.
April i3lh, 1883, a mile beyond Still
ton, leaden coffin was dug up, con-
tanning a fresh skeleton, and there
were also found many ancient coins in
silver and brass; an urn containing
ashes, on which was represented fe-
male. 1t is supposed that these relics
must have been there since the year
1908. Sept. 4, 1747, a curious tes-
selated pavement was discovered in
Lincolnshire, being II feet wide and
80 long, wrought in circles, with u
bust in the center, representing a man
in the same mosaic work as the pave
ment. Sept 22d, 1851, several work
men employed excavating upon the
site Of the ancient city of Aventicum,
built by Tespasin, and destroyed in
the fifteenth century, discovered a
mosaic work 60 feet long and 40
broad, with figures and ornaments
well preserved. They also found sew
eral broken columns and valuable
marble statues. - Masonic Monthly.
