Where the Sun Does not Set.

THE following graphic passage is from
the description of q scene witnessed by a
Mr. Campbell and his party, in the north
of Norway, from cliff 1000 feet above
the sea: "The ocean stretched away in
silent vastness at our feet; the sound of
its waves scarcely reached our airy look
out away in the north, the huge old sun
swung low along the horizon, like the slow
beat Of the pendulum in the tall clock of
our grandfather's parlor corner. We all
stood silent, looking at our watches. When
both hands came together at IL, midnight,
the full, round orb hung triumphantly
above the waves bridge of gold, run
ming due north, spanned the water between
US and him. There he shone in silent
majesty, which knew no setting. We m
voluntarily took off our hats; no word
was said. Combine, if you can, the most
brilliant sunrise and sunset you ever saw,
and its beauties will pale before the
gorgeous cOloring which now lit up the
ocean, heaven, and mountain. In haitian
hour the sun had swung up perceptibly
on its beat; the colors changed to those
of morning; fresh breeze rippled over
the flood; one songster after another
piped up in the grove behind us; we
had slid into another day." H11

Vow Ia the Time

To repair the inroads made upon the physical
strength by the hested term which has closed with
September. The vitality that has been oozing
throughthe pores in the form Of perspirsfion, for
the last three months, requires to be replaced as
apreparative to the cold season which makes such
disastrous havoc with relaxed and untoned systems.
The reserve OF vigor with which the stoutest man
commences the Summer campaign is drained out
Of him at its close, and unless by some means he
acquires new stock Of vital energy wherewith to
encounter the shock OF colder season, he may
droop and wither like the falling leaves whose life
juices exhausted. If it Is thus with the strong,
how much more perilous is the condition Of the
weak and ailing. Their reason must suggest to
them, more forcibly than these printed words, the
necessity for hsUigoration, and the world having de-
cided, afler en- experience Of almost quarter Of
century, that HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT
TIERS embrace such restorative properties Is are
not possessed by any other tonic and alternative
preparation In existence, the importance Of re-
sorting to that RENovAroR AND RBGULAToR OF
THE HUMAN MACHINE, at this critical season, is as
obvious as the light OF day. Let all who desire to
escape attack Of chiIs and fever, bilious remit
tent fever, dysentery, diarrh@a, dyspepsia rheuma-
tsm, hypochondria, any other Of the diseases Of
which the Fan season is the prolific parent, have
recourse promptly to this celebrated preventive

The Chinese Wall.

SINCE writing my last letter from the
Tower Of Piangfu, have traversed over
the side and ruins of the ancient outworks
of the Chinese wall proper, as far as Suet-
schyn, on the border of the desert of Kobi
or Sehamo, and through the aid of my
kind friend and interpreter, Chung WO,
have collected much valuable information
with regard to the object which led to the
defiance OF modern engineering, still re-
main the great architectural wonders of
the world, in comparison with which the
pyramids and temples of Egypt are mere
specks. This curtain wall varies in dis
lance from the true wall from one mile to
ten, and for engineering skill in the selec-
ton of defensable points, when we con-
slider that escalade was the only means by
which the Northern hordes of Mandschu-
ri and Tsinig- gians attempted its passage,
it would have tasked the Judgment of a
Todleben to have found a better line of
defence
The material used for building the first
or outer walls was kiln-burnt bricks, and
its construction was evidently intended to
cover the progress of the more substantial
inner Notifications of stone. According
to the information derived from Father
u "
Seminary Jaaing Poo, the construction of
the first wall of brick occupied period of
eight hundred years, during which three
million OF wOrkmen were constantly en-
plOyed: Like the frontiersmen of Ameri-
ca, they were obliged to combine the occu-
patton OF warrior, artisan, and probably
agriculturist.
During its progress there were upward
of two thousand forays and diversions,
which must have greatly retarded the
work. The inner, or stone, fertilization
was commenced, according to the best au-
thent!cated accounts, about eighteen hun
dred years before the advent of our era,
and, with its completion, the temporary
outworks of brick were probably aban-
doned-as its line is through a country in
capable of producing enough to supply
the wants of a garrison such as would be
required for its defence And the economy
of the ancient Chinese Government re-
quired that its military organizations
should be selfsupporting-the soldiers off
duty engaged in the cultivation of the soil,
or such mechanical employments as were
adapted to the wants of the army.
The existence of these two walls has
led to the discrepancy in the relation of
travelers-thOsc who have visited it from
the north and west contending that it is
structure of brick, in a ruinous condition /;
and those through the empire, from the
south, that it is built of stone, supremacy
grand in its architectural design, and in a
wonderful state of preservation, consider
ing that it has withstOOd the assaults OF
time and the Vaccinations of man to ac-
complish its destruction for at least two
thousand five hundred years since the last
stone was hid-CHina Cor. Ata Cali

"A gentleman living in this city has a
large pet coon, which is very fond of him.
A few mornings ago, as the gentleman
was walking through his garden quite

and seemed determined that he should pro-
coed no further in that path. Having al
ways been on the most friendly and init

not little astonished at this seeming bel

give way, forced him to retire, and, pro-

Was it any compensation for Aurelia's dis

wonderful babies that they were playing

And what wonderful things these child
rem do when they are playing by them

one of them when she gets off in corner
by herself, with her Dishes and blocks,
and dolls, and bits of ribbons. How she
will metamorphose her playthings into
rarities! What curious freaks of the i'm

she had the freshness and innocence of
childhood.

A Few Words About Horses.

Hay and oats make the best feed
for horses that r obliged to work
hard and regularly. If the hay is cut
fine and the oats bruised or ground,
the whole mixed and moistened, the
horse will eat his rations quicker, di-
gest them sooner, and thus have more
time for resting renewing his power
for labor. Farmers horses that work
little during winter time may be kept
cheaper by cutting and mixing bright
straw and hay in equal quantities, and
adding a ration of steamed potatoes or
raw carrots. Colts should be fed lib
orally on good hay-bright clover is
best-and bruised oats; give them a
roomy box stall in stormy weather and
during nights. Litter freely and do
not let the anu accumulate under
them. Sawdust- or spent tan makes
good and convenient bedding; in cities
and villages they are often cheaper
than straw. Groom horses well and
let them have exercise every day !; a
run in the yard is excellent. See that
stable floors over easements are sound
and strong. Arrange the feeding racks
so that dust and hay seed will not fall
into horses names or eyes; some horse
men build their managers too high,
thus forcing the animal to take an un-
natural and painful position when eat
ing. Farm horses that are not work
ed should have theil shoes taken off,
and those that are driven ON the road
should be kept well shod.

Couldn't Get Rid of Her.

The McC onnellsville Herald relates
that a man, designated as M, de-
sertlng his wife and five children in
Wheeling, last August, came back to
Athens county, where they had lived
several years before, and hired out as
a farm hand. From there the wife re-
ceived n letter in June last, announc-
ing his death, and stating that he died
so poor that he had to be buried by
his friends. She therefore set about
preparing for a journey to the grave
of her husband, with a view of mark
ing the spot by a tombstone. Arriy-
ing last Friday week, clothed IN moru-
ing, at the house from which the news
of her husbands death was sent, she
asked a young lady at the door If that
was where Mr.. . died, and was
somewhat astonished. and delighted
to have answer that he was out in the
wheat field, alive and well. "NVhy,
he's my husband !" said the overjoyed
wife. This seemed to stagger the
young lady, and the wife was astonish-
ed finally to learn that the marriage
of this young lady to her unfaithful
husband was to have taken place last
Sunday. He had written that he died
in INDECENT circumstances, thinking
that his wife would then have no
anxiety concerning his effects, which
he thought would be the only motive
to bring her into tie neighborhood.
The marriage was happily prevented,
and the tombstone unhappily unused.
