SIR WALTER RALE1GH,s GARDEN

1t is now three hundred wears since
slr Walter Raleigh lived in Ireland,
but according to Sir John P. Hennesy,
many traces of his residence there. can
still be seen. The richly perfumed vel
low Wall-flowers that he brought to
Ireland from the Azores, and the Al
fame cherry, are still found where he
first planted them by the black water.
Some eedars he brought to Cork, are to
this day growing at a place called
TriyoG. The four venerable yew trees,
whose branches have grown and inter-
mingled into a sort of summer-house
thacht, are pointed out as having shelf
cred Raleigh when he first smoked to-
baeeo in his youghal garden. In that
garden he also planted, tobacco. A few
steps farther on, Where the town wall
OF the thirteenth century bounds the
garden of the warden's house, is the
famous spot where the first Irish pota-
toes, Were planted by him. In that
garden he gave the tubers to the an
cestor OF the present Lord Southwell.
by whom they were spread throughout
the province of Munster.

ROAD OVER THE Alps

of all the interesting places on earth,
travellers love best to linger in the sunny
valleys of the Alps, and to climb their
majestic snow covered SUBMITS.
There lie ali along the chain many
beautiful valleys, where, walled in by
these everlasting buIwarks, whose
gllstening tops, are ever in view, dwells
many happy peasant, tiIling his soil
by day, and at night calling to the fold
his fiocks from their pastllrage on the
mountains. In these valleys grow the
world renowned Alpine flowers, and
through them rushing streams carry to
the broad river beyond, the melted
snow and ice from the heights above.
But all about the Alps is not thus fair
and lovely. There are other scenes
which, though grand to behold are
fraught with perils that make the
hearts OF brave men stand still. Far
above the valleys are precipices SO high
that no sound from below can possibly
pc heard at their submits, which often
hang over the valleys below like vast
shelves. Sometimes these precipices
Will rise one above another, leaving only
q narrow ledge between, covered with
ice and snow. Along here where one
false. step would be instant death, the
people who live in the mountains have
TO travel in going from valley to valley
or When In search OF game for food AS
the ledges are often composed entirely
OF Ice to the depth of several feet, the
rays OF the sun will sometimes cause
great cracks or assures, to open, over
which travellers have to leap by the aid
OF long poles, these assures will some
times become filled with light snow, SO
that they are not seen, until the fore
most of the party sets his foot ON it, |
when he will instantly sink down, down, |
out of sight and beyond the help of his
comrades. To provide against these |
dangers, party of Alpine travellers
always attach themselves to one an
other by means of long rope, SO that if |
one falls, the other can pull him back. +
They each carry long sharp pole to
help them up the steep rocks, and with t
this they also try the treacherous snow I
ahead. But there are still greater
dangers among these mountains, from /
which men have no power to save them I
selves. The masses of ice and snow I
which accumulate on the heights, be-
come SO great that they are forced slow
ly down the mountain sides before they
become melted forming what are called, /
rivers of ice." These huge masses will T
descend gradually until they reach the
edge of the precipices and SO delicately
are they sometimes poised that even
! voice or the tingle of bell will be
enough to hnrl them downward. Dur
ng the present century there have been
scross the mountains, all but two of
which can be Travelled with carriages.
lne Of the best Of these was built by
\ Napoleon Bonaparte. II is thirty miles
n length, eighteen feet wide and 6773
