CIVILIZED vANDALs.
How the Fernanaina English Armies Loot
ed the Pekin summer Palace.

From the London Tablet
Present at the taking Of Pekin by the
allied French and English forces, on
the l1th Of October, 1860, Gordon gives
a graphic account Of the destruction Of
the Summer Palace, the fabulous glo-
ries Of which every traveller in the far
east has so many times heard Of. The
city itself had surrendered and been
spared, but it was resolved that the
great palace should be RACED as warn
ins to all time
w went out. writes Gordon 10 a
friend, "and after pillaging ii, burned
the whole place destroying IN q yandal-
like manne most valuable property,
which could not be replaced for four
millions. We got upward of Els apiece
prize-money before we went out here;
and although / have not as mnah a.
many, 7 have done well. Imagine
D-giving los. for q sSring Of
pearls which he sold the next
day for G500. The people ore civil, but
/ think the grandees hate us, as they
must after what we did to the palace
lou cHA scarcely itiaS1lc but NcAMhJ
and magnificence Of the places we burnt.
1t made ones heart sore to burn them
in fact, these palaces were so large, and
we were so pressed for time, that we
could not plumber them carefully.
Quantities Of gold ornaments were
burned, considered as pfass. &c Was
wretchedly demoralizing work for an
army. Everybody was wild for plum
der. You would scarcely conceive the
magniicence Of this residence, or the
tremendous devastation the French have
committed. The throne and room were
lined with ebony, carved in q marvellous
way. There were huge mirrors Of all
shapes and kinds, clocks, watches, mu-
steal boxes with puppets on Them, mag
nificent china Of every description, heaps
and heaps of silk of all %coiors, embroid-
err, and as much splender and ciyiliza-
ton as you would seeat Windsor carved
ivory screens, coral screens, large
amounts Of treasure, etc. The French
have smashed everything in the most
wanton way. IL WAS > scene Of utter
destruction which passes my descrip-
tion.

And hear the bluebirds' taie Of spring
And soc the swallows IAN the w;.sS
Come out and listen, listen low
And hear the grasses as they grow
And list the little winds that blow
And learn to read their secret we'll
The secret that they softly tell
To bird and bee in drowsy dell,
OF bloomy banks that are to be.
OF fragrant field and leafy tree.
And all the summer mystery.
OF bud and blossom, flower and fruit
That quicken now in sap and root.
And now intender springing shoot
Come out, come out, the DAYS are long.
But nature sings her secret song
In secret ways-the days are long.
But swift as sweet from Aay to day.
From hour to hour, the tuneful Law
Runs headlong on a changeful way.
Come out, then, in the early glow
OF early springtime's bud and blow.
Come out and hear the grasses grow,
And all the secrets of the spring
That melt and murmur, speak and sing,
10 ears attuned to listening.

LOVING souls knO,O-as surely as they
know anything within the sphere of the
mind and heart-that their love in its
movements towards their fellows is un
dergoing continual renewal. continual
correction, continual recovery, contin-
ual elevation and publication, berduse
(in their iaith) il has its roots in God.
They love God, therefore they love men.
Gods love wearies not, therefore the rs
does not faint. Gods love leads to self
sacrifice, therefore does their own.
Their love is never wanting, never
weary, never puzzled, never ba lied,
never thwared, but it finds refresh
ment, guidance, strength, ennoblenent
in the more perfect love of God. This
action OF Gods love on their own is to
them a matter of experience, and as
such it is subject of knowledge In
word, it is science; and to say all, there
can not be any adequate philosophic
exposition Of all the facts of human
life which does not include the science
of love. Commonwealth.

"A farmer who has tested five differ

The Thirsty Eucalyptus.

Where there Is surplus moisture to
dispose Of as, for example, a cesspool
to keep dry, large eucalyptus will ac-
complish not a little, and group Of
them will dispose of vast amount Of
house-sewerage. But II you have water
which you do not wish 10 exhaust, as in
a good well, II would be wise to put the
eucalyptus very far away. Daniel
Sweet. Of Bay Island farm, Almeda
County, recently found curious root
formation of the eucalyptus in the bot
tom Of his well, about sixteen feet be-
low the surface. The trees 10 which the
roots belong stand fifty feet from the
well. Two shoots pierced through the
brick wall OF the well, and, sending off
millions Of fibers, formed a dense mat
that completely covered the bottom Of
the well. Most Of these fbers are no
larger than threads, and are 80 woven
and intertwisted as to form mat as
impenetrable and strong as though reg
ularly woven in q loom. The mat when
first taken out of the well was water
soaked and covered with mud, and
nearly all man could lift, but when
dry 1t was nearly as soft TO touch as
wool, and weighed only few ounces.
This is a good illustration OF how the
eucalyptus absorbs moisture, It's roots
going so far TO find water, pushing
themselves through brick wall, and
then developing enormously after the
water Is reached. Mr.. Sweet thinks one
of the causes Of the drying up Of wells
Is the Unsuitable thirst Of these vegetable
monsters. Pacific Rnral Press. :
