Inlia-Pauer.

Indiapaper, which the Chinese call
lem, is made from hemp, mulberry bark,
cotton, bamboo. rice straw, barley straw
and from the interior membrane of silk
worm cocoons sometimes the whole of
the stalks of bamboo of years growth
are used. The pulp is mixed, after it has
been prepared, with given portion of n
vegetable gum called hotong in China.
Tho paper is nodded in molds of fine
bamboo tilament. Those sheets, sixty
feet in length, which the Chinese are said
to make, are supposed to be fabricated
by artfully joining several small sheets
at the moment of laying the paper.
When taken from the molds, the paper
is stretched upon a wall. hollow inside
and heated, the surface of which has
been coated with very thin mastic. The
application of the mastic is made with a
brush, and this accounts for the streaks
and roughness that appear on the wrong
side OF this paper. India-paper, being
too thin TO bear handlin" or any strain,
is mounted on vellum, which serves as
lining to 1t, and the white borders of
which set it of rs frame would do.
The sheets thus prepared are kept in a
dry place, far away from the fire, and
may DO preserved for years. --Popula,

Do the pebbles It daliies and kisses,
And forsakes with a sob MS they part

From some sea-bcdded cavern Of yorof

Sweet tidings from grotto to shorei

As swift and as sure comes the answer,
From the voice Of fond, faithful heart.
Docs tho surf change forever, or ever
Do those couriers pauss in their chased
Arc tho depths of the sea ever broken
by che tempests that wrinkle it's facol
All, no! And us strong and enduring,
Though ocean and continent part,
Are the whispers, heard but by the loved one,
From the voice of the fond, faithful heart.
Deep down meath the bosom of ocean,
Unsoundod by plummet or line;
AT peaco from the storm and commotioa,
That rage DER its pillows of brine,
There ARE secrets that timo shall not fnthom
There are jewels unknown to carth's mart.
AS deep, us true and rs precious
