he felt himself impelled to enter.
1ere there was light, but it WAS all
one dali gray monotone. There
was no shades, nor shadows, and
the light fell alike ON the hard stone
pathway and the countless bracings
In stone, which lined the path along
which be slowly walked. All was
Jof sombre color, yet the most del
icate tracings of trees wherein the
branches interlaced and which
formed an arch over his pathway,
were seen. First, q palm with its
feathery branches leaping lightly in
to the air, and meeting and twining
with cedar, alternate all that long
and mezzo- tinted way. Underfoot
it was paved with gray stone. All
allowed that this long passage had
esen carved out Of one solid rock,

memorate history.
He wandered through this pass
age, and was all at once astonished
to find that he had lost the clew of
thread. He would have turned
back, but found he could not turn,
and SO he continued, wandering in
awe and fear what next should be
his fate. While yet these thoughts
were passing in his mind, he dis
covered that what he had looked at
before as an abrupt termination of
this strange corridor by another
wall of rock, was not rock, but ap-
curtain of gauze SO fine
and thin that he could clearly dis
tinguish that city lay beyond. He
stood looking, uncertain what to do,
awaiting he knew not what, when, by
a stir in the air, he felt that some
thing stood beside him, though what
or who he could not tell, for it was
but by this time he was SO
used to strange sights and things
that he gave no start, but simply
waited.
The curtain rolled away like
sunset cloud, and q scene of tran
scendant beauty lay before his eyes.
He went forward a few steps, and
found that he was in the midst of a
forest, and that all was icy cold and
frozen. The trees were all kinds
ever seen on the face of the Globe,
in the greatest perfection each tran
scending the other in perfection of
growth and foliage, while grass and
shrubs filed up the spaces between
the trunks of the trees. On tree and
shrub and climbing plant the fairy
frost had cast its snowy glamour,
and the branches, leaves and twigs
were covered with glittering needles,
softest plumes or whitest silver.
