The interior of the Temple is

are the mysteries its granite walls
conceal.

the Temple stands also the great tur

ripening of the crops below; we can
note how the yellow pollen of deodar
is blown in clouds across the valley,
until the landscape is hidden in a
golden haze. and then descending to
the Woolar lake, over steep and
stony road welcome the shelter of the
plane trees on it's banks. The vast
sheet of water lies placid in the even

in the disasters which sudden storms
have caused, and may again cause on
the lake, were it not that the ominous
clouds are already gathering on the
snow peaks to the north, and ere mid

heights, churning the dark waters into
milky foam and threatening to dash

the best of the labor and produce of
Kashmir and absorbed the vitality
of the country, but is now left, save
for few months of the year, to the
busy traders of Kashmir. The city
is no doubt lovely in the extreme, but
it is hard to forget the floods which so
readily overtop its earthen embank-
ments and ruin the fertile lands
around, or the dirt and squalor always
present; but, these drawbacks forgot
