A SIAMEsE CoLossUs.-The Bangkok
Recorder describes visit to one of the
Watts or Buddhist cloisters of the city,
the Wat Pc, which is the largest. It
covers ten acres Of land, paved with gray
granite, and presents the difficulties of a
labyrinth. 1t contains two temples of
imposing architecture. In one is an i'm :
age twice the size of life, and covered
with heavy gold in the other, teak doors,
beautifully inlad with mother-of-pearl.-
The latter contains an image which far
exceeds the Colossus of Rhodes in size
He is reclining on the right side, with his
head resting on the right hand. He is
one hundred and thirty-fvs feet long,
about twenty-eight feet around the belt,
and the length of tho little toe on the
right foot is three feet four inches. The
natives say his bowels, are full of large
water jars. The labor of constructing
and gliding this image must have been
immense, aud have taken years to accom-.
plish. The nearest approach to this in
Christian churches is in 81. Peters and
the Lateran. In the former the figures
which support the holy water basins on
entering look like infants, but are the
size of adults, while the saints towards
the roof are in reality three times the size

THE LOVE KNOT.

Tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied her golden ringlets in;
But not alone in the silken snare
Did she catch her lovely, floating hair;
For tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied q young mans heart within
They were strolling together up the hill,
Where the wind comes blowing merry and
chill,
And it blew the curls frolicsome race,
All over the happy, peach colored face,
Till, scolding and laughing she tied them in
Under her beautiful, dimpled chin.
And it blew color bright as the bloom
OF the pinkest fuchsia's tossing plume
All over the cheeks of the prettiest girl
That ever imprisoned romping curl,
Or, in tying her bonnet under her chin,
Tied a young mans heart within.
Sleeper and sleeper grew the hill,
Madden, merrier, chillier still
The Western wind blew down and played
The widest tricks with the little maid,
As, tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied young mans heart within.
.! Western wind do you think it was fair
To play such tricks with her floating hair,
10 gladly, gleefully do your best
To blow her against the young mans breast,
Where he as gladly folded her in,
And kissed her mouth and dimpled chin?
O! Ellery Vane you little thought
An hour ago, when you besought
This country lass to walk with you,
After the sun had dried the dew,
What perilous danger you'd be in,
As you tied her bonnet under her chin, -
