The seven Wonders Of the
World

The seven wonders Of the world
are among the traditions of child
hood and yet it is remarkable fact
that ninety-nine persons out Of one
hundred who might be asked the
question could not name them.
They are:
/. The Pyramids-the mysteries
of the past, the enigma Of the present
and the enduring for the future ages
OF the world.
2. The Temple, the walls and
hanging gardensof Babylon, the most
celebrated city Of Assyra, and there's
idence of the king of that country
after the obstruction Of Nineveh.
8. The Cryselephantine statute Of
Jupiter Olympus, the most renowned
work Of Phidias, the illustrious ar
tist Of Greece. The statue was form
ed ofgold, and was sitting on throne
almost touching the summit of the
temple, which was seventy feet high.
4. The temple of Diana ut Ephe-
sus, which was 220 years in building,
and which was 425 feet in length and
e20 in breadth, and supported by l27
marble columns Of the Ionic order,
sixty feet high.
S. The Mausoleum at Harlicarn-
assus, erected to the memory of Ma
usoIus, the King Of Caria, by his
wife Artemesia, Il. &. 355.
6. The Pharos at Alexandria, q
lighthouse erected by Ptolemy So
ter at the entrance of the harbor OF
Alexandria. Itwa5 450 feet high, and
could be seen at distance Of 100 miles
and upon it was Inscribed, "king
pioleny to the Gods, the Saviors,
for the benefit Of Sailors"
7. The COLOSSUS at Rhodes, bra
zen image Of Apollo, 80 Grecian feet
in hight, and located at the entrance
of one of the harbors of the city OF
Rhodes.

Small Is the sum that Is required
to patronize newspaper, ana am
ply rewarded is the patron, care
not how humble and unpretending
the gazette which he takes. 1t is
next TO impossible to ill a sheet with
printed matter without putting into
ii something that is worth the sub
scription price. Every parent whose
son is away from home at school,
should supply him with newspaper.
we'll remember what marked diff
ference there WAS between those of
my schoolmates who had, and those
who had not, access to newspapers.
Other things being equal, the first
were always decidedly superior to
the last In debate, composition, and
general intelligence Daniel We5-
