Situated on the north side of the extensive plain called after the towu, about two miles from the lofty inountaiu called Bala Wali, it is surrounded by a high, but thin and weak wall, with several bas- tions. Its walls are thirty feet high. The four principal- bazaars, or streets, lead from the gateways and meet near- ly in the centre of the town in a large eircular building, covered with a dome about ane hundred and twenty feet in diameter, called the charsu.J This place is surrounded by shops, mull it is re- garded as a public market place.

Of course there is adifference in men; o and while many good farmers may love their work, understand the business thoroughly and make money, yet they might not show as much love for the farm as others who are no better far- mers, but who exhibited more', enthusi- ashu iu their work. Pride in a noble horse, a pair of handsoine oxen, some choice Jerseys, a flock of compact, beautiful sheep— these are common. But a patch of po- tatoes is a prosy, common place' sub- ject, anyway, and not liable to stir up much enthusiasm. Yet we did Gee a farmer yesterday who was full of (10 - light and satisfaction at tile sight of his field of splendid potatoes. Why, if he had made that field of potatoes with his own hands he could not have beeu more proud of it. To see him stand where he could command a good view of the handsome rows, point to them with a glisten of the eye and -say, "Just look there ; isn't that a pretty sight ?" was like reading a poem.

Aud to a certain extent he did make the field of potatoes ; for, as Emerson says, the farmer, under God, is a creator; he produces of his owu hands what did not before exist, and,- • better than all, what ho produces is sustenance ft'r mankind.
