THE SUNKEN CITY.

Hark the faint bells of the Sunken City
Peal once more their wonted evening chime !;
From the Deep's abysses floats a ditty,
Wild and wondrous of the olden time
Temples, towers, and domes of many stories
There lie buried in an ocean grave,
Undescried, save when their golden glories
Clean, at sunset through the lighted wave.
And the mariner who hath seen them glisten
In whose ears those magic bells do sound,
Night by night bides there to watch and listen,
Though Death Turks behind each dark rock
cloud.
So the bells of Memory's Wonderfully
Peal for nc their old melodious chime
So my heart pours forth changeful ditty,
Sad and pleasant, from the by y-gone time
Domes and towers, and castles, fancy-builded,
There lie lost to daylights garish beams,
There lie hidden, till unveighed and gilded,
ry-gilded, by my nightly dreams!
And then hear mwc sweet upknelhng
From many well-known phantom band,
And through tears, can see my natural dwelling
Far off in the spirits luminous land

Uses OF CHARCOAL - The Hortcul-
turalist for April, publishes the follow
ing report Of an experiment made by
G. Robinson, of New Haven:
"My cistern, holding some fifteen
hogsheads, is filled from the roof of my
house, standing near a street much
frequented, although regularly watered
during the summer season. Whether
the difficulty arose from the dust from
the street, or from the fact that a grape
vine overhaBgs part Of the roof, or
because the cistern is closely covered,
the water has nearly all the time had
a slight unpleasant smell. Last sum-
nier the difficulty became so great that
| was compelled to have the cistern
emptied and thoroughly secured. This
winter the trouble has been greater
than usual; SO great as to drive me to
the uhwelcome conclusion that my cis-
tern must be>again broken up, emptied,
and cLsAnsed.
"Such was the condition of things
when made the experiment above
described and very naturally went
a step farther. Taking about six quarts
of clean charcoal, finely powdered,
wet it thoroughly in pail, and then
poured it through the water pipe into
my cistern.
an ten days the whole difficulty was
removed. Indeed the water became as
clear, pure, sweet, aud soft as the
purest which falls from the sky."
