The GREAT WALL OF CHINA.-The
great wall of China was measured in
many places by Mr.. Unthank, an Amer
lean engineer, lately engaged on survey
for Chinese railway. His measure
ments give the height at eighteen feet.
Every few hundred yards there is a tower
twenty-four feet square, and from twenty
to twenty-five feet high. The foundation
of the wall is of solid granite. Mr.. I'm
thank brought with him brick from the
wall, which is supposed to have been
made 200 years before the time of Christ.
In building this immense stone fence to
keep out the Tartars, the builders never
attempted to avoid mountains or chasms
to save expense. For 1900 miles the
wall goes over plain and mountain, and
every foot of the foundation is in solid
granite, and the rest of the structure solid
masonry. In some places the wall is
built smooth up against the bank, or
canons, or precipices, where there is a
sheer descent of ], 900 feet. Small streams
are arched over, but in the 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 breastworlss, or de-
fences, facing in and out, so the defend
ing force can pass from one tower to an
other without being exposed to an enemy
from either side. To calculate the time
ofbuilding 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 modern times of
which there is any trace. The pyramids
of Egypt are nothing compared with it.

WHY BLIND THE HORSE 1--WE never
could see what vice or deformity lay in a
horses eye that should make it necessary
to cover it up and shut out its owner from
at least two-thirds of his rightful vision.
The theory that horse is less apt to be
frightened when shut out from every
thing behind him, awe suspect to be a
fallacy, else saddle horses and war horses
would be duly blinded. Every horse is
as familiar with his own carriage as with
his own tail, and, so far as his personal
fortitude is concerned, is no more dis
turbed at being pursued by one than an.
other. AS for other scare.crows that
come behind, they are most familiar to
the animal, and the more fully the horse
can perceive them the more quietly does
he submit to their approach. Then it is
a pity to cover up, one of the most brill
liant features of this most brilliant crea.
ture. The horse has borne such hand
in the civilization Of this rough.and-
tumble world that it seems not 50 much
a cruelty as a discourtesy, as we'll as a
disgrace, to hide his form with embar-
RAISING toggery. No wonder we estimate
the force in the world as horse power /;
no wonder the Romans and Germans,
each in their own language, designated
their aristocracy as riders; no wonder
their descendants made chivalry asyno-
nym for their highest virtues. Let the
horse be given his due, and unblinded.-

WHAT AGRICULTURE DoEs.-Without
agriculture there is no wealth. Gold aud
silver are not wealth.-they are its con-
venient representatives; commerce pro-
duces no wealth-it simply exchanges it;
manufacture and the arts combine it.
Agriculture is the prolific mother of
wealth-the rest simply handle it when
produced and delivered into their hands.
The earth breeds savages. Agricul-
,ture breeds enlightened nations; it
breeds houses and ships, temples and
seminaries; it breeds the mandatory; (;
sculpture, painting and music are its of.
spring. The wheels of the workshops,
the sails of commerce, the implements of
science, the pen of genius, the pencil and
chisel of the artist, the eloquent tongue
of the orator, the scheming brain of the
statesman, the equipages of wealth, the
banquetings of pleasure-all that renders
earth in its tides of life anything but q
great sepulchre, move and have power of
being, because the fields yield their fruits
to the patient toll of the husbandman.
We,might manage to live withoutm
chants, without mariners, without orators,
without poets; perhaps we might sur.
vive the loss of demagogues-but sure [
am we could not live without ploWmen.
The state of husbandry i'll any country
is the best test ofits enlightenment. The
thermometer of civilization rises or falls
as drives the plow. "You must send the
plow," exclaimed q man who had trav-
eled all over Christian missionary ground,
Gin heather lands; a barbarian, nation
needs but to be plowed up deep, sub
soiled, planted, and the inevitable nhar-
vest will be an enlightened ination."-
