The Notifications of Paris
were constructed in the reign
of Louis Philippe. They con-
sist of a Fashioned and terraced
wall, with 81 feet of escarp-
ment, faced with masonry, and
surrounded by a ditch of a
breadth varying from go to 165
feet. The general outline is of
an irregular oval form, nearly
% miles in circumference, and
enclosing an area of 1921
acres, or 30 miles, and a popu-
lation of 100000 persons.
The axis Of the oval from north
to south is 97O0 yards, and that
from east to west 12,317 yards.
Around the enciente or circuit
Of the wall are 81 angular forts
with areas of about 338 square
yards each. There are besides
IL casemented fortresses, loca-
ted at the principal approach
es, and connected by sunken
roads. Inside the wall a car
riage-way is laid out, and also
a circular railway connecting
all the railroad lines running
into Paris. At various points
Of the walls there are So en-
frances, of which 81 are gates,
10 are railway arches, and 4 are

Vaccination is not compulsory
in Russia, nor would it seem to
be very generally practiced voIun-
tarily. The result is seen in the
fact that 1O,35O,0O0 persons have
died Of smallpox in that country
during the last seventy years. In
Ireland vaccination is compulsory,
and there were only eighteen
deaths from smallpox in all that
country last year.

Sleep and Death.

The Angel OF Slumber and
the Angel of Death, fraternally
locked in each others arms,
wandered over the earth.
1t was evening and the habi-
tations of men were not far off:
a sad stiffness pervaded the
air, and the evening bell Of the
village was hushed. Still and
silent, as is their manner, the
beniicent genii of mankind
reposed in a mournful embrace
and night came rapidly on.
Then the Angel of Slumber
rose from his messy couch, and
softly scattered from his hand
the invisible slumber-seeds.-
The wind of night waited them
to the quiet dwellings of the
Wearied husbandmen and forth
with sweet sleep descended
upon the inhabitants of the
cottages, from the grayhaired
sire to the cradled infant. The
sick man forgot his pains; the
unhappy his sorrows; the poor
his cares: every eye was closed.
And now, his benign labors
being ended, the king Angel
of Slumber again lay down by
his thoughtful brother, and
said, cheerfully 50
"When the red morning
awakes, then will mankind
bless me as their friend and
benefactor. Oh, how sweet it
is to do good unseen and in Sc
cret! how delightful is our du-
ty!"
Thus spake the friendly An
gel of Slumber. The Angel
of Death looked upon him with
silent sorrow, and a tear, such
as immortals shed, gathered in
his large dark eye.
"Alas!" said he, "that | can
not, like thyself, rejoice in their
gratitude: the earth calls me
her enemy and the disturber OF
her peace" :"
"My brotherr' replied the
Angel OF Slumber, "will not
the good when awaken own
thee as their friend and bene-
factor, and viii they not bless
| thee? Are we net brothers
and messengers of our father?'
Thus he spake. The eye d
the Angel Of Death sparkled
and he clasped his brother more
fondly in his embrace.

deadly strife, and smoking
hamlets, wasted homesteads,
trampled fields, levelled vine
yards, and thousands upon
thousands of rigid corses and
mangled bodies attest its hor-
ror, and makes us shudder as
we peruse the news we depre-
cate but cannot avoid seeking
with the most feverish anxiety,
we of this country, recovering
slowly from the same dire ca
lamities, may learn a lesson Of
much use to rs IN the future, if
properly applied.
Now, what has set several
millions of men to cutting,
slashing and mangling each
other? Has any portion of
them been wronged and feel
disposed to retaliate? Nothing
of the kind, so far as we can
discover. A couple of crowned
heads covet contiguous terrific
ry, and not satisfied with ruling
contented subjects, are deter
mined to extend their sway over
such as have no disposition to
submit to their authority unless
forced Vi ct armis.
Thousands of human lives
are sacrificed, thousands of hu-
man beings are MANNED for
life. Thousands of women are
left protectorless, thousands of
tender children are deprived OF
a fathers strong arms, thou
sands of happy homesteads are
made desolate, and thousands,
nay, millions upon millions of
taxes are piled upon the backs
of the survivors, and all this
vast ocean of misery, wrong
and suffering is created and
exists because a couple OF equity
old men have not loom enough
in their dOminions to Waddle
about, or when undergoing a
tWinge, fancy that a slice or two
ofneighboring land would help
to effect a cure, by giving more
space to man9uvre IN; when in
truth, the area coveted would
not afford "tombs and conti-

oceans of blood have been shed
to put a sprig of laurel upon

The Autumn.

for many years-is ended, and
the chill of autumn has succeed
ed. The traces of the sad and
solemn season are to be found
in the sky, in the air, in the
sun, on the landscape, and in
our souls. The horizon looks
deep and dark, like the coming
of a rising tempest, but there
is not a cloud on it; the dark
ness is only the shadow of the
autumn. The air has become
golden, as if filled with gleam-
ing dust from some upper Ophir,
and the sky overhead, seen
through it, seems to have re
ceded farther into the infinite
depths that stretch far away
behind the stars. The landscape
wears a look of repose, as
though it had done a task, and
were waiting for what may
come next. The grass and the
trees are still deep green from
the beautiful latter rains that
were poured out upon them in
August; but here and there, a
yellow leaf detected in the foli-
age of the mulberries and ma
pies, presages the coming fate
of all the green of field and for
est. All these premonitions
from the air, the sky, and the
landscape are reflected upon
ourselves, and our hearts feel
peaceful and reflective as the
spirit of autumn steals over us.

beauty Of maturity. We love
