CHEAT TEMPLE OF THE SUN IN OLD
PERU,

CHEAT TEMPLE OF THE SUN IN OLD
PERU.
The interior of The temple was most wor-
thy Of admiration. 1t was literally a mine
OF gold. On the western wall was emblaz-
oned representation of the Deity, consist
ing of human coun,enance looking forth
amidst innumerable rays of light which
emanated from it in every direction, in the
same manner as the sun is sometimes per-
sonifed with us. The figure was engraved
on a massive plate Of gold, of enormous d.
mensions, thickly powdered with emerslds
and precious stones. II was so situated in
front Of the great eastern portal, that the
rays Of the morning sun fell directly upon
it a. its rising, Lighting up the whole apart
ment with an effulgence that seemed more
than natural, and which was reflected back
from the golden ornaments with which the
walls and ceiling were everywhere encrust-
ed. Gold, in the fgura,ive language of the
people, was "the tears wep, by the sun -
and every part of the interior Of the temple
glowed with FURNISHED plates and studs of
the precious metal The cornices which
surrounded the walls of The sanctuary were
of the same costly material and a broad
belt or frieze of gold, let into the stone
work, encompassed The whole exterior OF
the edifce.
Adjoining the principal structure were
several chepels Of smaller dimensions. One
Of them was consecrateG to the moon, the
deity held mex! in reverence, as the mother
Of the lncas. Her efigy was delineated
in the some manner as that of the sun, on
q vast plate that nearly covered one side of
the apartment. But this plate, as we'll as
all the decorations of the building, was OF
silver, as suited to the pale, siIvery IIgh Of
the beautiful planet. There were three 9th
er ehapels, one Of which was dedicated TO
the host of stars, who formed the bright
court Of the sister of the sun another was
consecrated 10 his dread ministers of venge-
ance, the thunder and the lightning and
q third TO the rainbow, whose many-color-
ed arch spanned The walls Of The edifice wit
hues almost as radiant as It's own. There
were besides several other buildings, or in
suls,ed apartments. for the accommodation
Of the numerous priests who of1iciated il
The services of the temple.
All the plate, the ornaments, the utensils
oI every description, dPproPriaIeu 10 'h'
uses of religion, were of gold or silver
Twelve immense vases of the latter meta
stood on the floor of the great saloon, fllet
with grain of ,he1ndian corn the censer
for the perfumes, the ewers which held ,h'
water for sacrifice, the pipes which conduc,
ed it through subs,erraneous channels int
fine buildings, the reservoirs tina. received i,
even the agricultural implements used il
the gardens Of the temple, were all Of tn
same rich materials. The gardens, lik

danger. The Veddahs, who inhabit the
wilderness east Of the mountains, are abou,
on par with the bushmsn of South Africa
They are divided into two classes, the vii
lage and the forest Veddahs, the former OF
whom dwell in communities and exhibit
some faint glimmering of humanity. The
latter run wild in The Jungles, subsisting on
roots and plants, and climbing into the
branches of trees to sleep Mr.. June saw
two OF these creatures, who had been cap
,ured by the Cingalese, and describes them
as being llile in advance Of the ourang-
ou'ang. They are small in stature, their
bodies are completely covered with hair,
and they have the long arms of the sima
tribe. Very little is known Of that part OF
the island which they inhabit.
MIR. June represents the CIhgalese, who
are supposed to have originally emigra'ed
from The Malabar Coast as an smiable aud
inofensive people. They are for the mos,
part devoted 10 the culture of the soil, which
is exceedingly fertile. The cinnamon tree,
which requires moist, warm climate, grows
only in the south h-eastern part of the island,
and seems to thrive bes. in poor and finty
soil. The climate of Ceylon is mild and
salubrious, the monsoons which blow al
ternately from the Indian sea and the Bay
Of Bengal. mitigating The severity of .he. .trop-
ical heats.
After collecting their nine elephants a,
Point de Gale, Messrs. June and Nutter
carried them to the Rege,ta on large ligh-
ter and slowed them away in the hold, which
had been prepared for their reception. Thou
sands of people .om all the surrounding g
country came down 10 the shore TO witness
the operation. Considerable persuasion was
necessary TO induce the heavy animals to
trust themselves on the unsteady lighter and
the rogue actually broke the ropes by which
he was bound and made off at full speed, to
the terror Of the crowd, who scattered them
selves in all directions. He was secured,
however, and al last deposited on board +,
where he behaved remarkably well during
the passage. One of the younger animals
died after leaving the Cape Of Good Hope,
and was thrown overheard the others ar
rived safely, after their voyage of $4,000
miles. They are accompanied by native
Cingalese, who will make with them the
tour of the United States. Henceforth, in
sleed Of crashing through the jungles Of
Ceylon, they will peacefully devour the GIN
gerbread contributions of admiring thou
sands, under the shadow of Barnum's COL

HUNTING THE HYENA IN ALGIERs.-The
Arabs have a most singular way of catching
Hyenas-one that almost equals the vol
taking exploits of Gen. Putnam himself
We find the following account credited tc
the Paris Constitutional, The editor of which
obtained it in letter from a French officer
in Algiers -
A short time since the commandant oil
the battalion Of Turcos, or native soldiers
was informed .ha. female hyena had been
seen in the neighborhood Of Moslaganem
near Mazagran, and that she had taken re-
fuge in a cave about one hundred yards in
depth. Orders were Immediately given lo
carefully guard the entrance to The cave
Two Turcos, provided with simple cord
and small chain, wen, into the cave with
GU, weapon, and merely carrying candle
and in abou. half an hour, to the great as
tonishmen. Of The spectators, an enormous
hyena appeared muzzled and allowing him
self 10 be led along with The docilily of a
sheep. According TO the account, given by
the Arabs, the animal, dazzled by the lighl
of the candle, allows itself to be handled
and caressd like young dog, and during
this time the hunter takes care to muZZle
it, and thus prevent the possibility of its do
ing any mischief: Two soldiers were how
ever, Two days since, seriously wounded by
one of these animals, which suddenly re-
sumed its feroci,y, and, after biting through
the muzzle, took to flight, after knocking
down its two assaiIanls 1t is impossible
for anything to equal the courage and tenn
Gritty shown by the natives in these spots.

THoUGHTs AND SENTIMENTS Forii-
tude is SO becoming in human nature, that
he who wants it scarce deserves the name
of man.
The most benevolent intentions, and the
most beneficial actions, often lose great
part of their merit, if they are void of deli
cacy.
Resentment is the very bane Of society,
shifting not only its object, but he who re-
senls, whilst forgiveness is its inspiring cor
dial, the elixir Of happiness to both alike.
Religion recommends no frivolous or ex-
cessive care of ornaments, which are always S
The indications Of vain and unchaste
mind bu. it is equally removed from thai
grossness of sentiment which disgusts by its
neglect.
Many pious men, especially in the hum
BILE stations of life, have imagined that, if we
possess the substantial virtues Of The gospel
its integrity and tru,h-i.s peni'ence and
failh-the more amiable and ornamental
graces Of refined manners are hardly TO be
desired. This persuasion Of these good
men, so contrary 10 the order Of nature, is
no. less opposed 10 the evangelic ORDER
For the holy apostle, man the most ab-
stracted from the vani.ies Of the world, en-
joins, with peculiar emphasis, the culliva-
lion of whatsoever things are lovely"
