As we returned from our hastv ex


As we returned from our hasty ex-
animation, passing through its pilas>
tered hall above described, we observed
descending opening about seven feet
high by three feet wide. Following
this in its windings about fifty yards,
we came to flight CT forty>one steps,
ascending which, we found ourselves
In another chamber of wonders-oval
in shape, about seven feet long, twenty
feet high and three feet wide. The
walls of this last chamber were sculp,
tured in magnificent bas reliet and
Runic inscriptions. Prof. Bacchio,
the learned Sancrit of the university,
who was with us has taken upon him>
self the task of translatipg the inscrp~
tions. Of the meaning of some Of the
words and colossal sculptures, Ie all

IF we have in our gardens a choice

fearful we are lest it be withcred with
too much heat or dwarted with too
much cold. Even the rains Of Heaven
the dew and the sunshine we think are
not sufficient, but we dig about it and
train it; aud with what satisfaction
we watch the gradual unfolding Of its
tiny petals. Aud yet this flower is a
very insignificant thing when compared
with the germ of affection God has
placed in the human heart, bidding US
uourish it until it shall expand and bless
our homes and the world that lies beyond
their thresholds. Ii we fail to nourish
it by uuselG>h acts and words of love it
will not thrive and if it does not grow
it will die. Husbands aud wives, too
often forget the little acts by which
they won each otlIer-ioreet that the
chill winds Of neglect will blight the
tender blossoms Of the heart; and so
they pass on through life, never think
ing what holy thing it is to love
letting the weeds of ambition, avarice,
pride and self choke all the olden ten
derness away.
Many a man neglects to perform
some little office of affection, with '.Oh

CUTTING OFF THE LEAvEs.-AlmOst
every one who has any experience in gar
dening knows the Importance of pruning
newly planted trees. But in transplant
ing cabbages, beets, tomatoes and similar
vegetables, few ever think of taking off
any of the leaves, an operation fully as i'm
portant as the reduction of the branches of
an apple or pear tree. Let every one who
is about setting out any of the succulcnt
plants try the cutting off the larger leaves
and we think they will never omit it again.
