CEMETERY,

Which we were informed was n pleas
ant and most agreeable place Of resort.
Arriving at the gate, we entered, and at
once our eyes were greeted with one of
the most beautiful sights in nature that
we had ever gazed upon. "How beau
tiful!" allow charmingw 40, do seew
were the exclamations that often escaped
the lips of 'our party as we passed along
through this magnificent, but "silent
city" of the dead.
The cemetery, containing perhaps some
twelve or fifteen acres, is laid out in lots
of sufficient size for family burial, sur
rounded on all sides by walks, so that
each lot is entirely separated from all
Others. These walks nre kept with the
most sctupulous care and neatness; and
on each side, long, continuous rows Of
weeping willows, beautifully interspersed
with the poplar, hickory, oak, cedar, tam
arac, spruce and several other varieties of
trees to which we are strangers, all very
tastefully intcrmingled with the SNOWFALL,
fowering-curent, Towering almond, fringe
tree, and rose bushes of every conceiva-
bic variety; and then over the graves the
choicest shrubs, house and other plants
and flowers, were arranged in every con-
ceivable form that love for the departed
or n fanciful imagination could suggest,
making the whole emphaticaily evil
derness of Sweets" In the midst of all
this splendor workmen were engaged in
improving and beautifying the walks and
rendering beauty, if possible, still more
beautiful. The grave-stoncs, monu.
ments and vaults, were in good
keeping with their surroundings; and SC
much was struck with the singularly
impressive language of some of tho cpl
tnphs that my hand almost Involuntary

ADVENTURE IN INDIA.


Your turn now, captain" was the ex-
.clamation of several parties, who were seated
round the convivial board, telling stories,
narrating adventures, singing songs, and
drinking each others healths.
What will you have, gentlemen p in
quired Captain S. small, wiry man of
middle age. who had seen service in India.
''Oh, one of your most thrilling adven-
tures," said one of the party ''for surely
you must have had some, while stationed in
that wild region which is said to TEEN with
them"
''Ah! very well gentlemen-I remember
one that think will interest you, and here
you have it. 1t was in the year 183-,
that I joined my regiment, as sub, at
Bangalore and not being used to such a
climate, where the mercury runs up to 10
degrees in the spring, with no idea Of COM
ing down again till autumn, soon found
myself an invalid, and almost cursed the
day had been tempted to leave the cool old
England for such sweltering country
Some of my friends advised trip to the
Malabar coast, and I was nothing loath to
try any change, believing even the worst I
could possibly make must be for the better.
So [ procured palanquin, and eight good
bearers, to take turn about, and set off
forthwith, through as wild country as ever
goor mortal could wish to see.
s'Nothing remarkable happened till we
entered what is known as the Wynard Jun
gle and if nothing had happened there I
should have been tempted to indite the whole
country as a libel on appearances. Such a
jungle as that may never behold again
Reeds, weeds, grass, brambles and bushes
were interlaced like network beneath gi-
gantic trees of teak, whose bows interlocked
and canopied the whole, so that in many
places the bright sunshine Of heaven never
penetrated to the earth and as was borne
along in my palanquin, on the shoulders OF
four timid coolies, while the other four walk
ed leisurely behind, had the satisfaction Of
Knowing I was in perfect wilderness in
habited by wild elephants. wild boars, leop-
ards, hyenas, jackals, and any number Of
deadly reptiles, and that if we were attacked
by any ferocious beast, should probably
be deserted on the instant and left to take
care of myself. And then fancy me at nigh
with all these bowling beasts around me
attempting to sleep, amid all the poisonous
exhalations of a malarious region, with
millions of mosquitoes, moths. and bugs
humming, buzzing and perforating every
pore of my body, and you will form some
faint idea of the pleasures of sick mans
journey.
''Well, one hot. sultry afternoon, when
we had reached somewhere near the heart
of the jungle, as I was leaning back on the
seat of my palanquin, and dreamily listen.
ing to the drowsy monotonous song of the
bearers, was suddenly reused and startled
! by two or three hoarse trumpet blasts which
proceeded from a wild elephant who wa
crashing through the jungle at no great dis
tance but before had time for word, my
attendants dropped me without ceremony
and betook themsclves to fight. I.leapce
