DESERT GROWTHS NO 4.

But let us pass on to that Joy Of the 4 pache." the MescdI cactus. This has long. gIadiolate leaves, radiating from bulbOus center and root, from horizontal to an angle of 45 degrees, each tipped with an enormous thorn and hav- ing edges serrated with claws: from the center the fiOwer-stalk rises like 8 pole, often Of several inches diameter and of many feet in height. Ii is akin to the Ag0re, or American Aloe, which it closely resembles; and also to the Aoguey of tropical Mexico. The Indians hew off the leaves and extract the center and root; the latter often weigh % or 30 pounds. Then a number of these bulbs is cast into a pit, wherein fire has been made and suffered to die down; on them are placed hot stones and plenty of fire. The roasting j Eept up slowly for some time, duril- which the starch Of the MeSc0} seems to be converted by heat and chemical action into deXtrin, gum and sugar. It is then taken out a brown, fibrouS, visc0us mass, that looks and tastes like Oakum soaked in mOlaSses. This tickIes he palate and glad dpns the heart of the Indian baby App che Candy. The roasted Me e1t macerated in water, fer men.ed and distilled gives an in- toxicating liquor of the same name, much used by our Mexican neighbors Thus we see how a bouutitul Providence supplies our necessary stimulant, feven upon the " Great American Desert"

PecnIiariiies Of Alpine Flowers.

The beauty Of Alpine flowers is al
most proyerbial. 1t consists either in
the increased size Of the individual
flowers as compared with the whole,
plant, in increased intensity of cha-
color, or the massing Of small flowers
into dense cushions Of bright colors
and it is only i'll the higher Alps, above
the limit of forests and upward toward
the perpetual snow line, that these
characteristics are fully exhibited. This
effort of conspicuousnes9 under ad--
verse circumstances may be traced 10
the comparative scarcity Of winged IN
Sects in the higher regions, and TO the
necessity for attracting them from IL
distance. Amid the vast slopes Of de-
bris and the huge masses Of rock so
prevalent III higher mountain regions,
patches Of intense color can alone make
themselves visible and serve to attract
the wandering butterfly from the val
levs. Mr.. Herman Muller's careful OBJ
seryations have shown that in the higher
Alps, bees and. most other groups of
winged insects are almost wanting,
while butterflies are tOlcrably abundant;
and he has discovered that in number
Of cases where loWland flower is
adapted to be fertiIizcd by bees, its Al
pine ally has had its structure so modi-
fled as to be adapted for fertilization
only by butterflies. But bees are al
ways I'm the temperate zone) far more
abundant than butterflies, and this will
be another reason why flowers ospe-
cially adapted to be fortified by the
latter should be rendered unusually
conspicuous We find, accordingly, the
yellow primrose Of the plains replaced
by pink and magenta-colored Alpine
species; the struggling wild pinks Of
the lowlands by the masses of large
flowers IN such mountain species rs
Dianthus alpinus and d. glacalis; the
saxifrages Of the high Alps with punches
Of flowers a foot long, as in Saxifraga
longifolia and s. cotyledon, or forming
spreading masses Of flowers, as in :.
epposltilolia; while the soapworts, ST.
lenes and hOuscworts are equally SUI
perior to the allied species Of the plant.

er opening.
In vain did the courageous girl deal
blow after blow upon the barrier. No
entrance could be gained They were
imprisoned, indeed, in death cham
Der. They resigned themselves 10 their
end. They embraced in silence. and
calmly waited their fate. They had at
least the comfort of dying with each
other.
(, But, with 4 sudden thought. Marie
sprang up again. As all devoNed upon
her. she would make another effort. She
resolved to try her axe ON the side walls
/ OF their cell, few strokes revealed an
/ opening. The axe was again and again
/ hurled forward, until a hole was made
sufficient for the entrance. Then. with
( a look Of gratitude to heaven, she once
more raised her dropping lover, now
RAPIDLY sinking into the torpor Of APP
preaching dissolution.
/ 1t was not long before the dear Girl
found her lover senseless in her grasp.
Nainly she called him, and entrcated
another word or glance; His eyes were
closed and his body utterly powerless,
and no sign of life remained except u
feeble pulsation OF the heart.
/ For moment and but for Il moment,
the intrepid maiden yielded to despair,
and sank beside the corpse-hke form.
With Il prayer upon her lips, she fcebly
cSSaycd once more TO resume her fright
tul journey But the cold and fatigue
now began TO Cypress her So strongly
that her senses reeled, and her arm was
insufficient to raise her lover She coli
lccted her rambling thoughts, and be-
lieving that she could not be far from
the valley, she uttered cry of dis
tresS.
Providentially, it was Just at this time
that the peasants, uneasy ut her not re-
turning to the room, and guessing her
heroic resolution, went, hurriedlv, to
the cavernous mouth of the glacier.
The cry was heard and answered.
Shamed by the courage of the girl, two
or three rushed forward up the ice
chamber.
They were just in time. The brave
Marie had sunk down into that danger
Gus lethargy, the fsrerunner of death.
Both were carried off safely from the
glacier, brought to the cottage, and re-
stored to animation.
Surgical aid was promptly procured
for Henri's fracture. His vigorous con
stltution soou rallied under careful
treatment. As for Marie, her over-ex-
cited feelings occasioned II long and
dangerous illness.
The heroism of this maiden of the
Alps was not likely to diminish the at
tachment Of the man she had saved.
As soon as both were recovered, the ac-
clamation Of the valley called for their
union TO be made a public ceremony,
and the day n holiday for the villagers.
The cure offered up Thanksgiving for
their deliyerancc, joined them in happy
wedlock, and gave them fearful
blessing.
And long as love is known in the Al
pine valleys will the tale be told OF
Marie, the heroine Of fidelity, and of the
well-tricd love in glacier.

TEN YEARS.

Ten little years ago.@aear love,

That happy morning came, like which
None ever dawned before:
That blessed morning when the earth
Wore all her gladdest charms;
That morning when the beayens came dow
And clasped Us in its arms:
That morning when upon your hand.
Your hand so white and small,
placed the symbol of our love
Frail bond If that were all.
Some words know. were said, a vow
Was given, prayer, a kiss,
And through and over all strange
Confused sense OF bliss
They have been very happy years,
Happy and glad and true;
will not think what life had been
10 me unblessed by yoa:
And every day bless that day
whose tender. roseate glow
Has never faded yet, dear wife,
Full well we both do know.
Twas not the words the parson said
That made us one; the years,
With all their many. many joys,
Their triumphs. losses, tears
The years. with all they have denied,
And all that they have given
OF good aud i'll : the little one
Waiting for US in heaven
Have all been HES true ministers,
And helped 10 make Us one:
SO may /, be until the end
Till all our work is done.
Then, ia the perfect summer-laud,

Shall bloom forever on the high
Eternal hills Of bliss.

APPEARANCE OF THE DEvIL.--If the
Germdnio, an ultramontane journal, il
to be believed, the recent question of
the personality Of the devil il finally
settled. There were recently series
OF manifestations Of the virgin at
Dittrichswalde. The cure now writes
to say that the apparitions have been
varied by visits from quite another
person. On the very tree on which the
virgin was accustomed to show herself
to the devout II volume of fire suddenly
darted up, developed into distinct but
apparently Undesirable form, jumped
clean over the church, descended on
the other side i'll tho shape Of fire ball
and disappeared. Dittrichswalde is, as
may be supposed, in state of great
excitement at this active opposition on
the part Of Satan, and the price Of
beds in the place is beginning to go up
rapidly.
