connected with each other, and a small
islet in the river, by a stone bridge
built in the eleventh ceutnry. The
eeenery is bold, and such parts of the
eurrounding hills as are not cultivated
or used for graves are covered with
pines. Some of the hills north of the
city are $,000 feet high. Opposite Foo.
Chow the land is lower, and the suburb
is built upon an Islam" formerly the.

miles above the oily The eranehes
reunite at Pagoda Island. This, island
and the plain on each side form a large
basin, twenty miles long by fifteen
wide.. The river is crowded with float-
ing habitations, ferry -boats and trading
craft, rendering its aurfaea an sialinatod
and Noisy scene, The flowers grown
in pots in the boats and those usually
wore by the boatwomon iu their hair
all assist in imparting a pleasing aspect
to the lively sight.
A CHARMING PROSPECT.
The walls ;ire about thirty feet high
and twelve wide at the M. The gates,
seven in number, are overlooked by
high towers; mailer guard -houses
stand upon the walls at short intervals,
in which a few •soldiers lodge, and
where two or three cannon indicate
their object. The city is divided into
wards and neighborhoods, each of.
which is under its own police and head
men, who are responsible for the peace
in their respective districts, Front the
Wreshiu-shau, an eminence on the
north, side of the city, the view is ex-
tensive, and presents a great diversity
of charming objects. The square battle-
ments of the wall are peon extending
in a devious and irregular circuit for
more than eight miles, and inolosing
moot of the buildings, except on the
south. On the southeast a hill rises
abruptly more than 200 feet, ata ridge
built up with interspersed dwellings,
and another on the extreme north of
tate city, surmounting a watch -tower,
closes the prospect in that direction,
Two pagodas within, and fantastic -
looking wateb-towers upon the walls.
large, regular built granaries, and a
vast number of Angst tea in pairs, In-
dieatince temples and offices, and con-
tribute to rol eve the otherwise dull
monotony, whish is still further divers-
ified by many largo trees. Several
lookout houses aro placed on the streets
or upon buildings for the acoommo-
datios of watchmen,one of which im-
mediately attracts the attention of the
visitor from its height and its clock
dint with Roman letters. Pow vacant
spaces occur within the walls of the
city, which is everywhere equaily well
built.
acfai. sOutins OF A BUSY LIE.
Serpentine canals divide the country
round about into pints of greater or
less extent, of every form and line,
while they help to drain the city and.
provide oliannele for boats coming from
the river. These parts of the landscape
aro dotted with hamlets and cottages
and where the ground is higher, with
graves and tombstone,. To one seated
on this eminence, says Dr. S. W.
Williams. in -The Middio Kingdom,"
the confused hum of mingling cries
Ascending from the town below—the
beating of gongs. crackling of fire-
works. reports of guns, vociferous cries
of hucksters and coolies, combining
with the barking of dogs and other
domestic sounds, as well as those from
the crows, fish -hawks and magpies
nearer by—inform him in the liveliest
manner that the beautiful ponorama
he is looking down upon is filled with
teeming. multitudes in all the tide of
life. On the western side of the city
is a sheet of water called Si Hu, or
West Lake, with a series of unpretend-
ing buildings and temples lying along
its margin, a bridge crossing its ex-
panse and fishing nets and boats float-
ing upon its bosom. The watchtower
on the hill in the northern part of the
city is upon the wall, which runs near
a precipice 200 feet high; it is a most
conspicuous object when approaching
the place.
A soldier in Posen gallantly rescued
a lad from drowning, not long ago.
This act caused him to be fifteen min-
uteslate in coming back to the barracks,
and the martinets who held sway there
punished his crime by eight days im-
prisonment in a dungeon. They hold
that his first duty as a soldier was to
be back in time, no mtttter who was
drowning -

Owls.
Owls were never an feast;
but Southey once had an owl roasted
fordinner, for himself and Mr. and
(lmars. Wordsworth; I give the sequel in
( PIPS own words:
"We. agreed there could he no pre -
ext for making owls game and ki3ling
diem as delicacies; but if ever you eat
one, by all mins try it boilid, with
onion sauce." ' ,

an owl had taken up its abode in a part
of the shaft that afforded a a.helter, and
in passing in and out it had disturbed
the line,

securing a rat than had run into the
room to escape from SO persistent an
energy. Dazed by the light he sailed
around a few times and alighted upon
the bald head of au old man directly in
front of the speaker. It is hardly nec-
cssary to say what was the next move;
but the presence of the owl may have
called to the preaeher.'s mind the pros-
enee of Isaiah, who, when he foretold,
the desolation of Babylon, declared
that the house should be full of doleful
creatures, and that owls should dwell
there.
An owl once seriously disturbed the
mourners at a funeral at Beechwood,
