KARNAK BY Sun AND MOON.

And now we galloped forward, through
long procession of cames, donkeys
and Desert Arabs armed with spears, to.
ward karnak, the greatest ruin in the
world, the GROWING triumph of Egyp-
tian power and Egyptian art. Except
a broken stone here and there protru-
ding through the soil, the plain is as
desolate as if it had never been con-
scious of Il human dwelling, and only
on reaching the vicinity Of the mud
hamlet of kaynak, can the Traveller real
Ize that he is in Thebes. Here the
camel-path drops into a broad, eXcava-
ted avenue, lined with fragments of
spit S and shaded by starveling aca-
C az. As you advance, the sphinxes are
better preserved and remain seated on
their pedestaIs, but they have all been
decapItated. Though of colossal pro-
portions, they are seated so close to each
other, that it must have required nearly
two thousond to form the double row to
Luxor. The avenue finally reaches
single pylon, of majestic proportions,
built by one of the Ptolemies, and COW
cred with profuse hieroglyphics. Pas
sing through this, the sphinxes lead you
to another pylon, followed by a pillared
court, and temple built by the later
Remesides. This, thought, while my
friend was measuring the girth of the
pillars, is good beginning for Karnak,
but it is certainly much less than ex-
pext. "7aal mn hennee" (come this
way y called the guide, as if reading
my mind, and led me up the heaps of
rubbish to the roof and pointed to the
north.
All, there was Karnak! Had | been
blind up to this time, or had the earth
suddenly heaved out of her breast the rem.
nants OF the glorious temple From
all parts of the PLAN of Thebes | had
seen it IN the dis.ance-a huge propy-
lon, shattered portico, and an obelisk,
rising above the palms. Whence this
wilderness of ruins, spreading so far as
10 seem city rather than temple-py-
Ion after pylon, tumbling into enor-
nous cubes of stone, long colonnades,
ouIPoiti udS iheItS vi lltdlilC IOOlS,
obeisks of red granite, and endless
walls and avenues, branching out to iso-
olated portals Yet they stood as ST.
lently amid the accumulate ted rubbish of
nearly four thousand years, and the sun
shine threw its yellow luster as serene
ly over deposited sanctuaries, as if it had
never been otherwise, since the world
began. Figures are of no use, in de-
scribing place like this, but since |
must use them, may say that the length
of the ruins before us, from west to east,
was 1900 feet, and that the total cir
conference ofKarnak, including its nu-
merous pyla, or gateways, is mile and
a half.
We mounted and rode with fast-beat-
ing hearts to the western or main en-
trance, facing the Nile. The two tow
ers of the propylon-pyramidal masses
of solid stone-are 800 feet in length,
and the one which is last ruined, is near
ly 100 feet in height On each side of
the seulptured portal connecting them,
is tablet left by the French army, re-
colding the geographical position of the
principal Egyptian temples. We pas
sed through and entered an open court,
more than 300 feet square, with cor.
ridor of immense pillars ON each side,

The NATURAL BOUNDARIES OF THE UNITED
STATEs.-A story in print wants manner, tone,
and life-lke humor of the narrator, yet at the
risk of injustice to Lieut.. NJ, we venture to pub
lish that which he told at dinner of the Cham
Der of Commerce.
Soon after Texas was annexed, an officer ma
med Boyle, commanding an American vessel in
the Mediterranean touchedat Gibraltar; was in
vited to dine with Spofford, commander of an
English vessel then at that place.
When dinner was over and the wine flowed
freely, the subject of the annexation was intro
duced.
"And SOC" sage Spoford, 81 see you of the
United States have annexed Texas"
"Yes we have," says Boyle.
"Well, you are peculiar people,"
"-Nes, we do everything in peculiar way"
ado you intend to 60 on annexing."
"Certainly."
Sand when do you mean to stopW
"Stop! Why when we get the natural boun-
daries of the United States"
"The natural boundaries fthe United States!
and what are they?" says Spofford.
"The Equator, and the Aurora Borealis," re-
piled Boyle.
The narrator saith not whether the dialogue
ended here, but the hearers seemed to consider
it good stopping place, and so do we.

RE KIND.

Let us be kind--for who has not
Been more or less imperfect here p
Who fain would have his sins forgot,
Or blotted out by PHYS tear!
Forgiveness is gentle word
Upon whose tone how many live
And since we all have sinned or erred,
Why not each others faults forgive!
Oh let our hearts be kindly cast,
Until we cross the downward tide
Like barques that feel common blast,
And haste to anchor side by side.

THE HOME JOURNAL.

Published weekly IN the City Of Nev York at fco

On the first of January last, commenced II
New Series of this copious, comprehensive and ell
egantly printed Family Newspaper, which is now
acknowledged to be the indispensable drawing
room gazette of the country. A home is hardly
complete, we think we may safely venture 10 say,
without the Home Journal which is the chronicle
of all that interests all classes of Society, and of
the intelligence which most cnlivcns an American
HOme.-New York is the great Centre, and here,
at the fountain head of novelty, incident, litera
ture and foreign news, the Home Journal is prn-
ed and published. Its editors, Geo. p. Morris 4
N. i. Willis devote their entire time, skill and
experience, tothe task of giving each week, cary
thing worth knowing They particularly keep
eye on all the Whims and Novelties Of New York
Society, presenting sketches of the Bellies of our
Time, and careful portraits of the distinguished
public characters. In addition to this, the utmost
pains are taken, by TRANSACTIONS from French Jour
nails, and by Foreign Correspondence, to prepare
the reports of Fashionable Gossip of Paris, will
exceedingly instruct and amuse. We present
to our readers, the facts and outlines of all news.
In our literary department we aim ut sketches
and readable criticisms, AID in our CONVERSATIONS
of the fecand productions of the vast newspaper
world of England we aim to avoid the tiresOme,
and the local, and transfer to columns the pick
of English information and brancy, while we enr
deavOr to select with II trae sense of pure morals,
true wit, and genuine humOr. In addition to the
above we propose to give, in the course OF the COM
ing volume, one, entirely new feature, which we
think will particularly interest the Ladies, liz:
A Series of Returned Love Letters. This being n
species of composition that interests all readers,
we trust to make the numbers Ofthc Home Jour
nal more eagerly looked for, and more carefully
preserved than ever We have also ncwcorrespOn-
dents in London and Paris, who will send us much
that could never reach us through Foreign Jour

the remembrance is renewed every week, and it is
