AN ANTIQUARIAN WONDER.

Ruins of the ancient city Of .dStG'o@'
We recently copiedaparagraph from
one of the Western papers, containing
an account of the discovery OF an an
Gent city in the far west. At "A the tune
we considered the whole affair as Dor
dering too much upon the marvellous
to be worthy of implicit credit; but 1t
now appears in SO very authentic a
form in the columns ofthe Chicago A
merlcan, that we can no longer with
hold ctr belief 1t will doubtless pro-
vide abundant speculation for the lear
ned of every country. Babylon, Bal
bee, Palmyra, Thebes, and Memphis
present ruins that were once lnhaoited
bv people who are well known to us by
the records of history. But here IN
the back and beautiful wilds Of North
America, has been discovered the rum u
Of a large and halfburled city, OF the

OF men who have entirely passed a.
way from the face of the earth. Ger
talnly the Indians of the present day
and Their forefathers never dwelt in ci-
ties; and while the mounds of Missouri
and Illinois, particularly that singular
structure, Monks Mound, bear evil
dence of having been constructed by
totally different and more civilized
people than any of the SO called abo-
riginal tribes-this city of Aztalan, the
discovered parts of which are built
with brick, is evidently the work Of
men who well understood the arts Of
masonry, surveying, and Notifications.
BY whom Aztalan was built, and by
whom peopled-we leave to the learn
ed in Archaeology, merely remarking
that some of the more remote Indian
Tribes are said to have traditions Of a.
mother nation having once existed in
North America. In the Chicago A
mencan newspaper, there is drawing
ofthe supposed citadel of Aztalan,a as it
now stands. 1t is of great extent, the
walls about Eve feet high, s. regularly
fortifedby strotg abutments resemb-
ling such as are used II. the walling of
Both ancient and modern towns. The
space thus employed is entirely circum-
INJURED, of large extent, and containing
four square mounds for defence, placed
in advantageous positions. There is
the remains Of road, and the mouth of
a sewer formed of stone masonry, which
debouches on the river. Outside the
walls of the citadel are numerous
mounds, evidently intended for warlike
purposes, and varying from 3 to 25 feet
in height. The walls and buttresses
are Of brick and twenty-three feet in
breadth; and the entire plan ofthe cit
adelis evidently formed on mathemat-
ical principles.
The drawing to which we refer, as
well as the descriptive particulars ac-
companying it, are the results of an &C.
tual survey by N. F. Hyre, Esq, who
states and confirms some Of the strange
theories and opinions of scholars in re-
lation to the early character of our Wes-
tern Territory. Will the mysteries of
Aztalon ever be unveiled? Ola truth,
the far-west is rich in wonders, and in
all probability this is only the first in a
train of discoveries for future record &
admiration. This ancient metropolis
Of by-gone world has left traces Of
being some miles in extent. tits stu
ated in the township Of Jefferson, west
of Milwauchie, and on the westside of
the west branch of Rock River.

Hands ofl-A young damsel was
going to a party, when her mother char
ged her to keep the beaux at respect
full distance. "You may let them con-
verse with you as much as they please,
but make them keep their hands off,
Miss went to the party and saw some
young men there with very pretty
mouths and rich red lips, out of which
came very sweet words. She was
highly delighted with one gallant who
told her she was as sweet as rock can
dy, and appeared disposed to give am
pie proof that such was his opinion, by
slipping the delightful nectar from her
pouting lips. He put his arms around
her neck, in order to detain her for the
purpose, when she repulsed his advan-
ces, and cried Hands off sir!' He then
began to sue humbly for the privilege
ofkissing her very softly ON one check.
80 yes, you may kiss me as much
you please" said she-but mama SAYS
