An Ancient NATION.

At the departure of the chill
dren of Israel from Egypt, Chi
ma was seven hundred years
old; and when Isaiah prophesied
of her she had existed fifteen
centuries. She has seen the
rise and decline of ali the great
nations of antiquity. Ass yria,
Babylon, Persia, Greece and
Rome have long since followed
each other to the dust; but Chi
ma still remains a solitary and
wonderful monument of patri-
archal times. Then look at the
population of the country,
roughly estimated at four hum
dred millions-ten times the
population of Great Britain and
ireland. Every third person
that lives and breathes upon
this earth and beneath these
heavens is a Chinese; every
third grave that is dug is for q
Chinese.
