The Grandpa,

The grandpa il an individual, aged
somewhere between fifty and one hundred
years, and il a common occurrence in most
we'll regulated familys.
Next to healthy mother-in-law, they
have more bizness on hand than eny other
party in the household.
| They are the standard authority on all
leading topics, and what they don't know
about things that happened sixty i've years
ago, or what will happen for the next
three years to come, il damage for every
body to kno.
Grandpas are not entirely useless they
are handy to hold babies and feed pigs,
and are very smart in mending broken
broom handles and putting up the clothes
line on washing days.
have seen graudpas that churn good,
but konsider it mighty mean trick to
set an old man over eighty years to churn-
ing butter.
am willing to rock the baby while
wimmin folks are boiling soap; am ready
to kut rags to work into rag-carpets; they
keep me hunting hens eggs, or picking
green kurrants; or will even dip HANDLES,
or kore apples for sass, but won't churn.
have examined myself on the subject
and will bet q jack.knife that Josh Billings
won't churn.
Grandpas are poor help at bringing up
children; they are full of precept and kate
kism, but the young ones all seem to under
stand that grandpa minds them heap
more than they mind grandpa. ---Josh Bill

STUPENDoUs Work OF HUMAN HANDS
| pf in
many places by Mr.. Unthand, an American
engineer lately engaged on survey for a
Chinese railway. His measurement gives
the height at IS feet, and width on top
offs feet Every few hundred yards there
is tower "a feet square and from 20 to 45
feet high. The foundation of the wall is
of solid granite. Mr.. Unthand brought
with him brick from the wall which is
supposed to have been made 200 years be-
fore the time of Christ In building this
immense stone fence to keep out the Tar
tars, the builders never attempted to avoid
mountains or chasms to save expens.. For
1900 miles the wall goes over plain and
mountain and every foot of the founda-
tion is in solid granite and the
rest of the structure solid masonry
In some places the wall is built
smooth up against the bank of canons or
precipices, where there is sheer descent
of 1000 feet. Small streams were arched
over, but in larger streams the wall runs
to the waters edge, and a tower is built
on each side. On the top of the wall there
are breast-works of defence facing in and
out so the defending force can pass from
one tower to the other without being ex-
posed to an enemy from either side. To
calculate the time of building or cost of
this wall is beyond human skill. So far as
the magnitude of the work is concerned, it
surpasses every thing in ancient or mod
ern times of which there is any trace. The
pyramids of Egypt are nothing compared
to it.

countrymen, which, during the late I'M
the most approved instruments of slaught-
er, is now adapting itself to the invention
of machinery suited to uses of peaceful
life; and that inventors are giving full
share of attention to the discovery and
Improvement of agricultural implements
No, my friends, We have by no means
reached the limits of improvement in agri-
cultural machinery. Our course is still
| onward, and the child is now born who
will see, and use, daily, implements the
mere mention of which to- day would
make us start back with amazement.
! have seen it stated that the steam pow
er used in United States did the work of
140,000,000 Of men. Think what a saving
OF human bone and muscle is here, and
then tell me what must be the result when
this mighty power is made the obedient
servant OF the farmer in his daily toll
That it will be so have no doubt. The
experiment of steam plows has already
been successfully tried in England, and
portions of the West and | feel confident
that, in a comparatively short time, steam
will come into general use for farm work
You we'll know steam threshing machines
are now in general use, and all who have
tried them are satisfied they do more work,
and at greater saving in expense than those
worked by horse power. And let no one
suppose for moment that the introduce
ton of improved machinery affects iniuri-
ously the interests of the laboring classes.
History teaches us that directly the con-
trary is the result He who reads its am
pie pages with attention, will see that Just
in proportion as machinery has done the
work Of man, the condition of man has
improved. And l believe it would be diff.
ficult at this day to raise mob against
power looms or organize raid upon sew
ing machines. Perhaps the application of
steam power to farm work may end the
long mooted question as to the comparative
merits of horses and mules for farm use.
While am aware the mule has many
advantages over the horse, in point of
economy and endurance, still he has one
quality which in a great man is called
tirmness, and in an ordinary man obstina-
cy, that is decided drawback to his many
good qualities. This trait is so we'll shown
in the following parody that I ask your
permission to read it:
