LET US MAKE GOOD WALKS.

The season is upon US when good hard
walks about our dwellings, barns and out.
houses generally, are very desirable on many
aceounts-health, convenience and comfort
being among them. How many of our agris
cultural readers neglect this home duty ? How
m any allow the paths even to their houses to
be almost impossible in moist weather And
with the paths to the barn, or different
stable doors, to the hog pens, eattle-yards,
&c. We have known persons to wade
through water mud and soft manure for eight
m onths in the year, to ges at these several
places, at the expense of damp feet and nasty
boots, instead ofproyiding footway of stones
c oal ashes or boards, either Of which could
be made at small exnense and few hours Of
time in labor.
Especially is this neglect to be condemned
where the females Of the family arethe suffer
ers. We have many times seen the waytothe
wood-pile eoal-bin, spring house, chicken
ward and other indispensable points, totally
unfit to be used by them. If any one thinks
there is any economy in this, he is previously
mistaken To say nothing as to the loss Of
time in wading through the mud, the wear
and-tear of shoe-leather and injnry to gar
ments would pay the entire expense of pro-
viding good, dry walks but when the ques
tion of health, of suffering and of doctors
bills are taken into account, they ought to bC
sufficient to drive every negligent, unsympa
thizing proprietor, whether in town or eoun
try, to follow the suggestions herein made. A
man who viii not look after the reasonable
need and comforts of his family, does rot de
serve to have family GeTmantotr's Iiele

APyramid in the West.

a party of FIVE young men, while on an
exploring expedition recently along the
Colorado river, discovered an immense
pyramid on a barren. pain, It was COM
posed of layers of stone, from eighteen
Inches to nearly three feet in thickness,
and from five to eight in length. 1t had
a level tOplOf more than fifty feet square,
though it was evident that it had been
completed, and that some great convuI-
sion Of nature had displaced its entire
top, as it was evidently lying on one of its
sides, huge and broken mass nearly COW
cred by the sand. Its present. length is
one houndred and four feet and it must
have been formerly full twenty feet high
er. This pyramid differs in some re-
spects from the Egyptian pyramids. Ii
is, or was, more slender or pointed and
while those of Egypt are composed of
steps or layers, receding as they rise, this
American pyramid was, undoubtedly,
more finished structure. - The outer sur
face Of the blocks was evidently cut to
an angle that gave the structure, when
new and complete a smooth or regular
surface from top 20 bottom. -nf1.a aaadaf.9

it Is wound In by the engine. Besides the
