Mr.. SEWARD, speaking of the great
walls of China, which he examined during
his late visit to the East, says: 'The Chi
nese have been for at least two or three
thousand years Matchmaking people. 1t
would bankrupt New York or Paris to build
the walls of the city of Pekin. The great
wall OF China is the wall of the world.
1t is forty feet high. The lower thirty
feet is Of hewn limestone or granite. Two
modern carriages may pass each other on the
summit. 1t has a parapet throughout its
whole length, with convenient staircases,
buttresses, and garrison houses at every
quarter mile and it runs not by cutting down
hills and raising valleys, but over the uneven
crests of the mountains and down through
their gorges, distance of a thousand miles.
Admiral Rogers and calculated it would
cost more to build the wall of China through
its extent Of one thousand miles, than it has
cost to build the fiity-five thousand miles of
railroad in the United States. What a
commentary it's upon the ephemerial range
of the human intellect to see this great
utiitarian enterprise, so necessary and eff
fective two thousand years ago, now not
merely useless, but an membranes and all
obstruction

Three O,cloek in the Morning

What do the robins whisper about
From their homes in the elms and brchesY
I've tried to study the riddle out,
But still in my mind is many doubt,
In spite of deep researches.
While in the world is silence deep,
In the twilight OF early dawnlngi
They begin to chirp, and twitter, and peep,
As ii they were talking in their sleep
At three O'Clock in the morning.
PERHAPS the little ones stir, and complain
That it's time TO be up and doing;
And the mother-bird sings a drowsy strain
To coax them back to their dreams again,
Though distant cocks are growing.
Or do they tell secrets that should not be heard
BY mortals listening and prying?
Perhaps we might learn from some whispered
word
The best way to bring up little bird
Or the wonderful art of flying.
1t may be that they speak OF one autumn day
When with many feathercd roamef
Under the clouds so cold ana gray,
Over the hills they take their way,
Iu search of the vanished summer.
II may be they gossip from nest to nest,
Hidden and leafenfolded;
For do we not often hear it confessed. --
When a long-kept secret at last is Guessed,
That "a little bird has told it2'
Perhaps-but the question is wrapped in DOUBT
They give me no hint or warning;
Listen, and tell me if you find out
What do the robins whisper about
At three o'clock in the morning.

TO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA.

TN PRESENTING TO YOUR NOTICE, FOR
IL the fist time in an extended way, the F.
(FAMILY FAVORITE) WEED SEWINd-MA-
CHINE, we will state some of the reasons why
we think we are justified in claiming 1t to be the
BEST: 49,.
BECAUSE before being offered to the people,
it was tested by able sewing -machinists, and by
them so pronounced
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
Paris Exposition in 1867;
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
four weeks contest between sewing machines at
the Baltimore (Maryland) Institute in 1859;
BECAUSE, it will do what any other first
class loclz-stitch will do;
BECAUSE, it will do what most of them can
not do. We say this without disparagement to
the merits of other machines; ~ fs.s !.
BECAUSE in the five years 1t has been before
the people, the sale has been SO rapid that the
company have been unable to supply the de-
mand thus leaving Virginia and a great part OF
| the country unsuppled; and last, but not least,
| to give a woman's reason,
| BECAUSE, it is just a little darling" and so
| easy to learn.
Price the same as any other flrst-class machine.
! Sold on the instalment plan, If desired.
| Machines sent on trial and instruction given
| free.
! A history of the sewingmachine and an ac.
| count of the great four weeks contest at Balti-
| more, sent free on application.
